For the first time since 2005, the POWER SOURCE tournament will be a single elimination tournament! Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON released the near final lineups to the tournament, just a few days before the tournament began in Miyako.
The tournament has been split into two eight man co-current single elimination tournaments. At the end, on the 18th, the A Block winner and the B Block winner will collide to determine the 2010 POWER SOURCE tournament victor!
Block A:
Akuma Toyota
Mikio Tsuruya
Shinsuke Takahashi
Tetsuhisa NAKAI (FURY)
Naoki Daishi
Toshiro Noguchi
Shuji Kawashima
Makoto Saito
Block B:
Nobuyori Shimizu
Hiroyuki Takano
Tenshin Komatsu
Masakazu Fujimoto
Takayuki Ariwa
"Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop (FREE)
Rui Kuriyama
Kenjiro Amagawa
Noticeable by their absences on the lineups, both Keiji Hirano and Millennium S.K. appear to be missing. After both men failed in their opening round matches at GOLDEN CHANCE, both seem to have made career changes. Keiji Hirano, who cited need for a "break"has left Japan, and will remain in Europe for a significant period of time. This will be Hirano's first ever learning excursion, and much is expected of Amagawa's former rival...
Millennium S.K., on the other hand...No one knows. After losing to FURY's Etsuya Kawachi, S.K. left Tokyo, and has not been seen since. Rumors circulate of S.K. resigning, or perhaps his neck injury is still bothering him. As of right now, there are no known details.
In addition to the POWER SOURCE finals, the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Championships will be on the line on the 18th, as KYOURUI 6's PHOENIX and Keoni Murata must make a mandatory defense against former champions Hiroshi Kuroki and Kaisen Tiger from AVENIR.
And in the semi main event, Ikuji Royama will aim for defense number seven against Hayato Saigo, who will aim to be the only man to ever win the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship for a third time!
The remaining TBA matches will be dependent on the wrestlers eliminated by the tournament, and will not be announced until the day of the event...
As always, the winner of the 2010 POWER SOURCE will gain a C-1 Heavyweight Championship match, and a staggering one million yen taken directly from Kazushi Mimura and Yuki Nomura's own finances! Truly, there is more at stake this year then in any other year yet!
