Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON

[CRIMSON] 10/13/09 ~ 7th Year Anniversary @ Miyako 1000 Tokuji Gymnasium

2009-10-16T18:45:00.000-07:00

On October 13th 2002, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON was formed. Originally under the moniker of Project:BETA, the promotion would evolve over the years into Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. The main event of the night pitted Yuki Nomura, GORO, and Kensuke Kenashi of HANGUN against the team of YAKUTA, Ryo Suzuki and Ryo Kinichi. Seven years later the destiny of two best friends and the greatest tag team in CRIMSON history would collide to decide who would become the 12th C-1 Heavyweight Champion. For both men it would be the biggest match of their career.

Nobuyori Shimizu qualified for the finals of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship 1NIGHT tournament, first by defeating eternal rival Tenshin Komatsu in thirteen minutes with a knock out running elbow. A battered Shimizu would go into the semi finals to face off against his former protégé, and Yankizoku leader Takayuki Ariwa, who crushed Makoto Saito in the first round with the Splash Mountain. Once again, Shimizu was battered and bruised with Ariwa hurling Shimizu around the ring with his trademark power, but his courage and heart carried him through. Shimizu avoided the Splash Mountain at all costs, before Shimizu unleashed his Thunder-Fire Powerbomb, spiking Ariwa on his shoulders for the three count.

Shimizu's opponent could be considered the most unlikely of any on the field. Hiroyuki Takano and Toshiro Noguchi clashed in the opening round. Noguchi struggled with Takano's speed but found that he had an ally. Noguchi's trusted finisher, the Thunder Hammer proved to be the deciding move as Noguchi blasted Takano with six in a row to keep Takano down. In the semi finals, Toshiro Noguchi faced the "T-1 Heavyweight Champion" Mikio Tsuruya who received a bye in the first round. Tsuruya was over confident, however, and instead of finishing Noguchi off when he had the chance, allowed Noguchi to make a comeback and unleash the barrage of Thunder Hammers. However, it was Noguchi's sliding Thunder Hammer, the Tokkan that gained the knock out, setting up the finals.

The PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships were decided, as FUSION J-LEAGUE winners and champions Hiroshi Kuroki and Kaisen Tiger defended against runner ups Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada. Daishi and Yamada kept their younger and more athletic opponents grounded for the majority of the match. In particular they singled out Kuroki's legs, attempting to force the young man to submit. PREDATORS displayed their championship courage as always, however, and refused to be put out so easily. In the end, the victory was Kaisen Tiger's, who blasted Naoki Daishi with two Bullet Wrath's leading to his Tsuki Hikari to seal the victory and PREDATOR's first defense of the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Championships!

The title of "Strongest Junior" was on the line, along with the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship as C-1 Junior-Heavyweight champion Ikuji Royama aimed to make his first defense of the championship against the ace of CRIMSON's juniors, Hayato Saigo! The two faced off earlier in the year for the championship, with Saigo vanquishing Royama in February. The two went toe to toe against each other, holding nothing back at a breakneck pace for eighteen straight minutes. However, Saigo was unable to reclaim his spot on top, as Royama launched a volley with all his major moves, only to have Saigo kick out of the Sliding Shotei! The two battled with strikes, but a wild shot for Saigo left himself open allowing Royama to CRACK Saigo in the side of the head with a high kick, covering for the three count and the retention of the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship!

Nothing remained except for one match to decide the course of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's future. Two best friends, partners for six years would face off for the biggest prize in CRIMSON. Both have challenged and failed, but one of them would walk away as the top man in the promotion. Both shook hands after Yuki Nomura gave the title introduction, and Akuma Toyota displayed the championship for all to see. However, the friendship between the two warriors suddenly vanished as Toshiro Noguchi, overtaken by his desire to win, attacked Nobuyori Shimizu from behind before the bell could ring! The Miyako crowd exploded in jeers, as Noguchi chopped and kicked away at Shimizu. Shimizu caught completely off guard was ripe picking for Noguchi, who BLASTED Shimizu with the Thunder Hammer! Noguchi covered, but Shimizu kicked out before the three count! Noguchi straddled his best friend, and began to fire away with elbows to Shimizu's chin and chest area, only to have Shimizu suddenly screamed "NOGUCHI!", grabbed Noguchi by the head, and turn them over so that Shimizu was in Noguchi's guard before BLASTING Noguchi with vicious elbows and forearms, before standing and stomping Noguchi directly in the face! Noguchi rolled to the floor clutching his face, while Shimizu collapsed in a corner to regroup. Noguchi, still clutching his face climbed back into the ring at the count of fifteen, and approached a wary Shimizu. Noguchi extended his hand, asking for Shimizu's apology for his actions. Shimizu looked somewhat dubiously at Noguchi before accepting Noguchi's hand...Only to have Noguchi yank Shimizu in and go for a Backdrop! Shimizu floated over behind Noguchi, pushed him forward and gave Noguchi a release German Suplex! Noguchi rolled through the move, and caught the charging Shimizu with the Thunder Hammer before both collapsed to the mat! Both men struggled to their feet, but reached their feet at roughly the same time. Once again Noguchi extended his hand, this time profusely apologizing for his actions. Noguchi's display did nothing for Shimizu, who responded with a VICIOUS slap to Noguchi's face! Noguchi reeled from the blow, but then retaliated with his own slap! The two "best friends" began to slap each other back and forth with venom in their blows. After a period of time with the blows, both men collapsed to their backsides in exhaustion to applause from the Miyako crowd. Noguchi would take ovcr control of the match, catching a charging Shimizu seconds later with yet another Thunder Hammer, Noguchi continued to use the Thunder Hammer to effectively put Shimizu down every time he would start to make his comeback against him. Yet despite Noguchi's mastery of basic pro-wrestling, and his use of the Thunder Hammer, Noguchi lacked the one shot knock out to put Shimizu down. Instead, all Noguchi could seem to do was attempt to wear down Shimizu. Noguchi, seemingly having come to this realization himself attempted for his knock out blow, the Tokkan. Noguchi launched himself, but Shimizu suddenly rose back alive and laid back to avoid the move! Noguchi charged to his feet at Shimizu, but it was Shimizu who cut Noguchi off with a running elbow! The blow nearly knocked Noguchi out of his boots, but did not result in the three count for Nobuyori Shimizu. An exhausted Shimizu waited for Noguchi to stand back up, before launching a powerful volley of elbows, ending with a second running elbow but AGAIN Noguchi refused to be put out of the match and defiantly kicked out of the pinfall! With no other recourse left, Shimizu lifted Noguchi high into the air, placed him onto his shoulders, and DROVE Noguchi into the mat with all his desire and power with the Thunder Fire Powerbomb! Shimizu held onto Noguchi's legs in a fold over style pin...BUT NOGUCHI KICKED OUT AT 2.9! Shimizu fell to his knees, with a look of desperation on his face, before he reached out for the now almost corpse like body of Noguchi. Shimizu pulled Noguchi up by his hair, and armpits, desperate to get one final move in. Once there, Shimizu placed himself behind Noguchi, hooked him around the waist, and used his ORIGINAL finisher, the TSUYOSA GERMAN SUPLEX HOLD! Shimizu folded Noguchi in half, and even placed his feet on the very tips of their toes for full effect. The count felt like it took forever, but finally, the third hand hit the mat, giving the win AND the C-1 Heavyweight Championship to the man hailed as the "Heart" of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, NOBUYORI SHIMIZU!!

The loyal Miyako fans began leaping up and down in the crowd, with loud chants of Shimizu coming with every bit of sound the Miyako fans could generate. An exhausted Nobuyori Shimizu suddenly came alive, as Shimizu frantically pounded on the mat while screaming in joy. Yuki Nomura and the injured Akuma Toyota both held station during the title presentation for Nobuyori Shimizu. Yuki Nomura beamed like a proud father at Shimizu as Akuma Toyota strapped the C-1 Heavyweight Championship around his waist. For once, Akuma Toyota played the role of a perfect gentleman, and left the ring with no incident, allowing a near hysterical Nobuyori Shimizu to soak in his moment. A clearly injured Toshiro Noguchi approached Shimizu, and despite the brutal fight the two had just minutes ago, the two best friends embraced as more cheers rang out from the Miyako crowd, before Toshiro Noguchi too left the ring just for Nobuyori Shimizu. Yuki Nomura remained in the ring to interview Shimizu, starting off by calling this the "most important day in CRIMSON history" which evoked more cheers and more tears. At Nomura's question over the men he defeated, Shimizu praised all three. Shimizu described Komatsu as his "eternal rival", Ariwa as his "misguided kouhai" and Noguchi as his "best friend", but that all had nearly defeated him, and it was only through his will alone that he had beaten them. Shimizu took the microphone from Nomura, and began to thank everyone he could think of. Shimizu thanked Yuki Nomura, and all the prior C-1 Heavyweight Champions. He thanked Ryo Suzuki for training him, Noguchi for being his friend, Komatsu for being his rival, and then began to enthusiastically point at the fans in the crowd thanking each and every one of them for their unending support. As Shimizu ranted, Nomura quietly vacated the ring, leaving the new champion all on his own. Shimizu with the tears returning, called this the greatest day of his life, and the day he had been dreaming of since he debuted in CRIMSON seven years ago. Shimizu vowed that he would be the champion that he'd always dreamed of, and would attempt to fulfill all the dreams and hopes that the CRIMSON fans had laid upon him for seven years.

Nobuyori Shimizu, the new C-1 Heavyweight Champion lead the fans in calls of "HEY", and arm pumps in tune with his theme to end the show, united as one with the CRIMSON fan base in their jubilation.

PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Champions, PREDATORS shocked everyone by winning the 2009 FUSION J-LEAGUE, defeating OVERTHROW in the finals! In the first tournament matches, OVERTHROW bested the NEW LEGEND team of Ikuji Royama & Tanuki Gao, when Daishi spiked C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Royama with a Northern Lights Bomb. In the other semi final, PREDATORS passed the OKINAWA SPEED STARS, as Kuroki scored the victory over Pro-Wrestling FURY's Fumihiko Shirai with the PRISM. In the finals, the two teams went toe to toe, but the speed and youth of PREDATORS won out, as Kaisen Tiger dropped his inverted 450 splash, Tsuki Hikari for the victory! OVERTHROW appealed for a rematch, set for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's anniversary on the 13th!

Tenshin Komatsu scored a decisive victory over Makoto Saito in the second of their singles battles, this time in a cage with no means of victory beyond knock out or submission. They traded brutal shots throughout, with many fans disgusted by the brutality on display. In the end, a series of leaping knees and a dynamic right hand sealed the Knock Out for Komatsu, evening their series at 1-1!

After eight months as champions, the reign of the AT CLUB came to any end, as AVENIR's Kenjiro Amagawa and Shinsuke Takahashi claimed the championships in their second attempt! The match was fast paced with an unending series of moves near the end of the bout. Kenjiro Amagawa's day finally came, as Amagawa debuted his new Backdrop variation, a head and leg trapped Backdrop named the Burning Cataclysm on Hiroyuki Takano to become the 10th champions!

Kazuki Takagi gave a good account for himself, but ultimately failed in his quest to "dethrone" Mikio Tsuruya and his kidnapped fictional championship the T-1 Heavyweight Championship. Tsuruya survived Takagi's surprising fight and sealed the victory with his Murder Carnival. Tsuruya's victory brought out President Yuki Nomura. Nomura finally revealed why he had allowed this match to take place, given that Tsuruya had hand picked his own opponent as Nomura announced that Akuma Toyota's injuries were more severe then had been diagnosed, and announced that Toyota would be taking a sabbatical from wrestling to heal his injuries! As a result, Nomura announced that Akuma Toyota had vacated the C-1 Heavyweight Championship effective immediately! Mikio Tsuruya demanded to be announced as the new champion given his possession of the championship, but Nomura gave Tsuruya no such satisfaction. Instead, Nomura revealed that on October 13th, the Anniversary of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, in Miyako, at the 1000 Tokuji Gymnasium, a ONE NIGHT TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD! Tsuruya threatened to withhold his kidnapped championship, but Nomura pacified Tsuruya by offering him a BYE into the semi finals! With that offered, Tsuruya finally relinquished the "T-1" Heavyweight Championship...With the championship finally in his hands again; Nomura announced the match ups for the tournament! Nobuyori Shimizu vs. Tenshin Komatsu, Makoto Saito vs. Takayuki Ariwa, and Hiroyuki Takano vs. Toshiro Noguchi!

2009-09-18T21:34:00.000-07:00

The FUSION J-LEAGUE 2009 continued, heading to the Natori Sport Park in Miyagi. In non-tournament matches, Tenshin Komatsu defeated Ryoma Inoue in the opening bout, Komatsu using his rarely activated finisher the "Iron Cross" to send a message to Makoto Saito, forcing Inoue to submit...The second match saw AVENIR collide in a three on three battle; which saw Shinsuke Takahashi and PREDATORS come out on top over Amagawa, Hirano, and Takagi. Unsurprisingly, it was Takagi who fell after taking Takahashi's Clutching Knee into Kaisen Tiger's Bullet Wrath for the finish. Speaking of Makoto Saito, he and SLAYER faced off against LOVE's "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop and the masked PHOENIX in tag action. LOVE put up a strong fight, with PHOENIX and Bishop threatening the unaligned team many times. However, Makoto Saito would prove to be too much, as he blasted PHOENIX with the Shiraku Blade for the finish. The STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY and Yankizoku collided in the final non-tournament match of the night, as Nobuyori Shimizu, Toshiro Noguchi, Hayato Saigo & C-2 Openweight Champion Masakazu Fujimoto teamed to take out C-1 Tag Team Champions, the AT Club, T-1 Heavyweight Champion Mikio Tsurya, and Keoni Murata. Noguchi would pick up the win, blasting Murata with the Thunder Hammer for the fall. Noguchi reminded Fujimoto about his challenge for the C-2 Openweight Championship, claiming that he would be looking to challenge in the near future...

The FUSION J-LEAGUE's matches kicked off, as Yankizoku's team of "Zetsubouzoku", BIG BOY Tomizaki and Ichiyo Tatsuki battled the "NEW LEGEND", of C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Ikuji Royama, and Aomori City Light Heavyweight Champion from BURNING PARADISE, Tanuki Gao! While horrifically overmatched by their opponents, Tomizaki and Tatsuko gave the two singles champions everything they had as a unit. They were easily bested. Royama blasted Tatsuko in the side of the head with a high kick for the three count, keeping NEW LEGEND unbeaten in the tournament!

Unlike NEW LEGEND, two teams faced off in the main event with their very tournament lives possibily hanging in the balance. "OVERTHROW" of Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada faced off against "ShinoMura" of Shino Hiriyama and Kazuhiro Okamura. Both teams, with vast amounts of experience between them, gave it their all in a thrilling back and forth battle. The run of recent poor luck for ShinoMura continued tonight, as the two former tag team aces ran into each other, knocking Okamura out of the ring, and allowing Akahito Yamada to spike Hiriyama with the Straight Jacket Suplex for the finishing fall!

The 2009 FUSION J-LEAGUE tournament continued, making a stop at Niigata Phase. In a special singles bout, Makoto Saito and Shinsuke Takahashi went toe to toe for almost fifteen minutes, before the stoic Makoto Saito bested Takahashi with the Shiraku Blade. In tournament action, Yankizoku collided as RIOT WORLD of Ryoma Inoue & Keoni Murata faced off against Zetsubouzoku of BIG BOY Tomizaki and Ichiyo Tatsuko. As soon as the bell rang, Inoue & Murata pulled rank on their opponents, and forced them to give up the match. Much to the chagrin of Tomizaki & Tatsuko, they had no chance, and verbally submitted, giving their seniors the win...The second tournament match pitted the OKINAWA SPEED STARS of Hayato Saigo and Pro-Wrestling FURY's Fumihiko Shirai against the team of STRIKERS, Keiji Hirano & Superstar Pro's SAKA Ibuchi. The bout followed the same pattern as STRIKERS' last battle, as the SPEED STARS controlled 90% of the match, however, Hirano & Ibuchi stayed in the match with energy and heart alone. Their tenacity would pay off, as lightning quick, Shirai was suddenly bombarded by Hirano & Ibuchi, two Hirano Rockets and two Shining Wizards, giving the STRIKERS team another huge upset victory! In the main event, the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions of PREDATORS continued to struggle against the elite opposition in the tournament, as a rebounding ShinoMura of Shino Hiriyama and Kazuhiro Okamura took them to task, ending with Okamura hitting Kuroki with the KO Cutter for the victory.

[CRIMSON] 9/12/09 @ Motomiya City Gymnasium

2009-09-13T01:00:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON continued the FUSION J-LEAGUE 2009 at the Motomiya City Gymnasium located in Fukushima. In non-tournament matches, Kazuki Takagi defeated the mysterious PHOENIX with the unrequested help of Mikio Tsuruya. Tsuruya, who seems hellbent on torturing Takagi and his lack of ability this time took it a step higher. PHOENIX had Takagi defeated, but Mikio Tsuruya tripped the referee, taking him momentarily out of the match. Tsuruya then attacked PHOENIX from behind, and then gave the junior the Murder Carnival, putting Takagi on top for the fall...Takagi angrily screamed at Tsuruya to ceise harassing him, but Tsuruya replied that he was just helping out Takagi as a friend. In the second match AVENIR was victorious over the unaligned tandem of Makoto Saito & SLAYER. The next challengers for the C-1 Tag Team Championships looking strong, as Takahashi blasted SLAYER with two Clutching Knees to put the masked monster down. Takayuki Ariwa & Mikio Tsuruya were victorious over Nobuyori Shimizu and Masakazu Fujimoto...the C-2 Openweight Champion losing another big fall, this time to powerhouse Takayuki Ariwa who blasted him with the Angelos for the finish. The final non-tournament match saw LOVE of Tenshin Komatsu and "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop best Yankizoku's Hiroyuki Takano & BIG BOY Tomizaki. Tomizaki fell to Bishop's Texan Bomber for the fall.

The FUSION J-LEAGUE matches of the night kicked off with AVENIR's Keiji Hirano and his partner SAKA Ibuchi from SPRO facing off against LOVE's ShinoMura in a fast paced hard hitting affair. ShinoMura controlled the entire bout, using their superior tag team abilities over their younger opponents. However, the energy of Hirano & Ibuchi gave them an opportunity, allowing Hirano to blast Shino Hiriyama with three rapid fire Hirano Kick's to put Hiriyama down for the upset fall!

The FUSION J-LEAGUE continued with OVERTHROW of Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada besting Yankizoku's "RIOT WORLD" of Ryoma Inoue and Keoni Murata. RIOT WORLD used every dirty tactic they could think of throughout the match, but Inoue & Murata could not keep OVERTHROW from taking control of the match, leading to Daishi spiking Inoue on his shoulders and neck with the Northern Lights Bomb for the finish.

The main event was an all-star golden affair, as the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, PREDATORS; Hiroshi Kuroki & Kaisen Tiger from AVENIR faced off against the NEW LEGEND of C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Ikuji Royama and Aomori City Light Heavyweight Champion Tanuki Gao from BURNING PARADISE. The battle and back and forth, with Royama & Gao controlling a large majority of it, however PREDATORS were never out of the running, and kept fighting back at every opportunity possible. Every major move from both teams were thrown out, with both teams surviving. Gao missed the Shooting Star Press, leading right into Kaisen Tiger's Bullet Wrath for an exciting near fall. Yet Gao's second attempt would not fail, as the Aomori City Light Heavyweight Champion crushed Hiroshi Kuroki with a beautiful Shooting Star Press for the three count after almost twenty minutes of battle!

2009-09-08T17:02:00.000-07:00

The FUSION J-LEAGUE continued with a stop at the Sano City Hotel Sun Route in Tochigi. The feud between LOVE and the unaligned tandem of Makoto Saito and SLAYER continued as "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop opened up against SLAYER. Little was shown in the way of subtlety during the match, with both men firing hard hitting shots. The Texas Outlaw would be the one to overcome SLAYER, as Bishop blasted SLAYER with the Texan Bomber for the three count. In the second match, Yankizoku were victorious over the AVENIR team, as C-1 Tag Team Champions Takayuki Ariwa & Hiroyuki Takano teamed with "T-1 Heavyweight Champion" Mikio Tsuruya to best the challengers for their respective championships; Kenjiro Amagawa, Shinsuke Takahashi & Kazuki Takagi. Ariwa scored the win after a back and forth battle, blasting Takahashi with the Angelos for the fall. In the final non-tournament match, Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi continued their strong streak of success against LOVE's Tenshin Komatsu and PHOENIX. Despite a valiant fight by Komatsu and PHOENIX, the overwhelming team power of "NGI" proved to be too much, with Shimizu blasting PHOENIX with a running elbow for the finish.

The FUSION J-LEAGUE 2009 matches kicked off with the OKINAWA SPEED STARS of Hayato Saigo and Fumihiko Shirai from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON facing off against Zetsubouzoku of BIG BOY Tomizaki and Ichiyo Tatsuko. The result was never in doubt, but the Yankizoku team performed surprisingly well keeping up with the SPEED STARS. However, while Shirai kept Tomizaki at bay, Saigo dropped Tatsuko with a Brainbuster for the deciding fall.

The second and final FUSION J-LEAGUE match pitted PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Hiroshi Kuroki & Kaisen Tiger, PREDATORS against the team of "RIOT WORLD", Keoni Murata & Ryoma Inoue. Inoue and Murata used every dirty tactic they could think of, trying to keep the high energy of Kuroki & Tiger at a minimum. Yet, they could never seem to put the champions down, as even the fabled surf board attack only seemed to keep PREDATORS momentarily stunned. PREDATORS fought back, resulting in several of their own close falls. Neither team could gain or maintain their advantage, resulting in a stalemate that ended in a time limit draw, giving both teams one point!

2009-09-06T21:37:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON moved to the Asukaru Satte in Saitama for the second night of the FUSION J-LEAGUE 2009. In pre-tournament matches, Nobuyori Shimizu again scored a direct pinfall victory over "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop, flooring him with another running elbow for the three count. In the second match, Yankizoku were victorious over AVENIR, as the AT Club and Mikio Tsuruya bested Kenjiro Amagawa, Shinsuke Takahashi & Kazuki Takagi. Tsuruya would defeat his challenger for the T-1 Heavyweight Championship, Kazuki Takagi with the Carnival. Tsuruya informed Takagi that it had been an off night, and that he knew Takagi would do better next time much to Takagi's frustration...

The FUSION J-LEAGUE matches kicked off with OVERTHROW taking on the team of Zetsubouzoku, both teams needing to get the tournament going in their second match with a victory. It would be OVERTHROW that would gain their two points, after Daishi locked BIG BOY Tomizaki in the Jujigatame, forcing the Yankizoku member to submit.

The tournament continued as the two Junior champions, Ikuji Royama and Tanuki Gao from BURNING PARADISE were victorious over the energetic team of Keiji Hirano and SPRO's SAKA Ibuchi. SAKA and Hirano brought the action early, taking it right to the champions, but the combined strength of Gao and Royama proved to be too much. SAKA Ibuchi was spiked with Ikuji Royama's Capture Suplex into Gao's beautiful Shooting Star Press for the fall.

The main event pitted the famous tandem of ShinoMura, Shino Hiriyama & Kazujiro Okamura against 2/3rds of the OKINAWA SPEED STARS, Hayato Saigo and Fumihiko Shirai from Pro-Wrestling FURY. The match was action packed, going well over nineteen minutes with both teams giving their all. Late in the match, through trickery and double teams, ShinoMura were able to isolate Fumihiko Shirai from Hayato Saigo. Shirai went down swinging; surviving several of ShinoMura's biggest moves, but a second KO Cutter put Shirai down for the count, giving ShinoMura their first points in the tournament.

[CRIMSON] 9/02/09 @ Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2009-09-06T03:34:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON opened up September with the first night of action in the FUSION J-LEAGUE tournament to a solid crowd in Tokyo. Mikio Tsuruya swerved his partner for the night in LOVE's PHOENIX, as Tsuruya suddenly spiked PHOENIX with the Akuji Backdrop Driver setting up Takagi's Saikyo Lariat to give Tsuruya's hated enemy Amagawa and Takagi the victory. Tsuruya post-match praised Takagi's "power", politely asking Takagi to "not hurt him too much" in their upcoming singles match. LOVE rebounded in the second match, as Tenshin Komatsu and "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop teamed to take out the unaligned team of "Deathmatch Prince" Makoto Saito and SLAYER. Komatsu and Bishop's combined fire power gave them the win, as Komatsu stunned SLAYER with a Komatsu Knee Kick allowing Bishop to nail the monster junior-heavyweight with the Zanzai Lariat for the fall. Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi re-asserted their power in the third match of the night, as the two CRIMSON long term stars disposed of the team of C-2 Openweight Champion Masakazu Fujimoto and Shinsuke Takahashi. Fujimoto would be the one to fall, as Shimizu blasted him with a running elbow for the finish. Toshiro Noguchi nominated himself for a C-2 Openweight Championship match against Masakazu Fujimoto, to which Fujimoto accepted.

The FUSION J-LEAGUE kicked off with a one sided sprint, as PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions PREDATORS, Hiroshi Kuroki & Kaisen Tiger took down "Zetsubouzoku" of BIG BOY Tomizaki and Ichiyo Tatsuko. The difference between the teams was evident, as Kaisen Tiger flattened Ichiyo Tatsuko with a Tiger Suplex into the Bullet Wrath for the finish.

Dastard deeds spelled the difference between victory and defeat for the young team of Keiji Hirano and SPRO's SAKA Ibuchi. Despite dominating the majority of the match against "RIOT WORLD" of Ryoma Inoue and Keoni Murata, the Yankizoku team was able to pull it out after a well placed surf board attack directly to the head of the Yankizoku traitor Keiji Hirano for the fall.

The two junior champions of two promotions united, as "NEW LEGEND" of C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Ikuji Royama teamed with Aomori City Light Heavyweight Champion Tanuki Gao from BURNING PARADISE. The two faced off against arguably the most decorated Junior-Heavyweight team going, ShinoMura from LOVE. The match was back and forth, with ShinoMura using their beautiful teamwork to keep the single champions at bay. Yet Royama and Gao aren't champions for nothing, and were able to keep up with their well versed opponents. It would take both Gao and Royama to down ShinoMura, as Gao wiped out Kazuhiro Okamura with a dive, allowing Royama to blast Hiriyama in the face with a high kick for the three count.

The final tournament match saw inter-promotional team the OKINAWA SPEED STARS of Hayato Saigo and Fumihiko Shirai face off against the strongest junior team in CRIMSON, OVERTHROW in a thrilling high speed back and forth match. Saigo and Shirai used high speed and athletic ability to stay one step ahead of OVERTHROW the entire match, allowing their victory. Saigo spiked Akahito Yamada with his trademark Brainbuster, only to have Shirai springboard perfectly in with his Island Heat springboard frog splash for the flash victory.

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON and BURNING PARADISE collided in the main event. Back in December 2008, teh AT CLUB were dispatched to BURNING PARADISE's DYNAMIC DUO tournament. The pair would make the finals, but would fall to the winners Hisakatsu Okada and Toru Nishi, Toru Nishi, aiming to get yet another victory over the AT CLUB main evented with BENKEI against the AT CLUB for the C-1 Tag Team Championships. The match was back and forth with both teams putting on a display of their skills. BENKEI and Ariwa had a significant power battle, while Takano and Nishi had a fantastic display of Nishi's attacks and Takano's ability to avoid the attacks. It would take almost everything the AT CLUB had, but three Angelos in a row were able to drop the 6'3 BENKEI, giving the AT CLUB the victory and revenge from December! The AT CLUB's victory celebration was cut short, as a team they had previously defeated, Kenjiro Amagawa and Shinsuke Takahashi interrupted, and appealed for a rematch. The AT CLUB briefly considered, before accepting, with Ariwa admitting that he wouldn't mind "roughing" them up some more for lack of any better matches...

[CRIMSON] 9/01/09 ~ FUSION J-League 2009 Tour Lineups

2009-09-05T03:26:00.000-07:00

The full lineup for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's "FUSION J-LEAGUE 2009" tour was finally revealed. The two major notes were the two matches added to the final night on the 27th. Mikio Tsuruya has nominated a "worthy" challenger for his "T-1 Heavyweight Championship"...AVENIR's Kazuki Takagi! Obviously in an attempt to humiliate both Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON and the championship Tsuruya stole, Tsuruya has claimed that Takagi is the only wrestler in CRIMSON that he's afraid of...Surprisingly, there has been little in response from President Yuki Nomura.

The other big match added will see the second battle of the former best friends, as "Iron Prince" Tenshin Komatsu will collide with "Deathmatch Prince" Makoto Saito. Komatsu claimed their first encounter had favored Saito, but this time the two will collide in a match Komatsu feels is favorable to him, a CAGE DEATHMATCH! A special cage is being constructed made of solid steel that will give the two absolutely no breaks from its ruthless agenda for blood!

Due to card space restrictions, not every wrestler is booked on every show. Also, Shuji Kawashima is putting all his efforts on Pro-Wrestling FURY's upcoming NEW BREED tournament, and thus will miss all shows.

[CRIMSON] 8/31/09 @ Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2009-09-01T03:03:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON returned to Tokyo at Korakuen Hall for a healthy crowd. Overall, it was a good night for AVENIR. In the opening match, Keiji Hirano & Kazuki Takagi bested the Yankizoku team of Ichiyo Tatsuko and BIG BOY Tomizaki, Takagi pinning Tatsuko with the Saikyo Lariat. For the rest of AVENIR, they would shine in the semi final of the night, as Kenjiro Amagawa, Shinsuke Takahashi and the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions PREDATORS bested their Yankizoku rivals in the AT Club, Ryoma Inoue & Keoni Murata. Amagawa sealed the victory, spiking Hiroyuki Takano on his head with the Leg-Trap Backdrop Hold for the three count. In other matches, OVERTHROW gained momentum heading into the FUSION J-LEAGUE, as they defeated C-1 Junior-Heavyweight champion Ikuji Royama and Shuji Kawashima. Daishi secured his feared jujigatame, forcing the submission over Kawashima. Makoto Saito and Tenshin Komatsu with their respective forces continue to wage war, but without any definitive successes. Tonight was Saito & SLAYER's night, but not the way they would have hoped for, as Makoto Saito along with SLAYER fought with Tenshin Komatsu and PHOENIX to a disqualification victory after Komatsu began to assault the referee intentionally getting himself disqualified...The rest of LOVE fared significantly worse, as "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop, Shino Hiriyama & Kazuhiro Okamura faced off against Nobuyori Shimizu, Toshiro Noguchi, and Hayato Saigo. Both teams went toe to toe, but it would be Nobuyori Shimizu, who has mostly fallen in the background despite his successes who would come to the forefront. Shimizu blasted Bishop with a series of elbows, leading to a running elbow felling the giant from Texas for the shocking three count finish!

The main event pitted Yankizoku member Mikio Tsuruta making the first defense of his "T-1 Heavyweight Championship" that Tsuruya pilfered from Akuma Toyota against Akuma Toyota's tag team partner in HEAVY WAR, and C-2 Openweight Champion Masakazu Fujimoto. Masakazu Fujimoto fought like a run-away train in the early portion of the match, throwing Tsuruya around the ring at will, forcing the "champion" to scurry for cover. Yet, Mikio Tsuruya proved to be resourceful, as he blasted Fujimoto in the side of the knee with a chair as Fujimoto stalked him at ringside, a blow that Fujimoto never seemed to fully recover from. Tsuruya pressed his advantage, even giving Fujimoto the Akuji Backdrop Driver, only to have the monster kick out! Riding the wave of his resiliency, Fujimoto made a comeback, hitting all his signature attacks ending with the Mt. Fujimoto Bomb, only to have Tsuruya this time survive! Fujimoto aimed to finish Tsuruya off with a second Mt. Fujimoto Bomb, but Tsuruya fought back with a low blow while Yankizoku held the referee, and with the assistance of a well thrown chair by Ryoma Inoue, blasted Fujimoto in the face with a chair! A wounded Fujimoto was easy pickings for Tsuruya. Tsuruya struggled with Fujimoto's weight, but managed to successfully hit the Murder Carnival, covering Fujimoto's body for the three count!

Mikio Tsuruya's celebration was short lived, however, as "Gods of War Arise" began playing, bringing out the rightful C-1 Heavyweight Champion Akuma Toyota! Yankizoku formed a protective barrier around Tsuruya, as Toyota stalked to the ring. However, Toyota held no interest in attacking, instead taking a house microphone. Toyota announced that his injuries were somewhat worse than had been estimated, and he would be unable to make his return in September. Surprisingly, Toyota announced he had "no interest" in vacating the C-1 Heavyweight Championship, instead turning to Mikio Tsuruya, and telling the championship looter to "keep it polished" for when he would return! With fire in his voice, Toyota promised "all out destruction" when he returned, even if it meant he had to destroy all of Yankizoku in the process! Toyota turned to leave the ring, allowing one blind spot that Mikio Tsuruya latched onto, charging across the ring and blindsiding Toyota with a belt shot to the back of his head! Toyota collapsed to the ground, as Tsuruya stomped away, all the while screaming that he "wasn't afraid" of Toyota, and that it was his championship, not Toyota's! After several seconds of this, AVENIR along with several STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY members hit the ring in force, driving off Yankizoku, allowing Mikio Tsuruya to taunt everyone in the ring by holding up "his" T-1 Heavyweight Championship.

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON returned to Aomori for another action packed show. In the opening match, C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Ikuji Royama bested three over wrestlers, blasting Ichiyo Tatsuko with a high kick for the fall. In the second match, Masakazu Fujimoto gained some much needed momentum heading into his "T-1 Heavyweight Championship" match on the 31st as he and Naoki Daishi defeated the team of ShinoMura, Fujimoto spiking Hiriyama with the Mt. Fujimoto Bomb. Nobuyori Shimizu and the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY disrupted the flow for LOVE, as Shimizu downed the mysterious PHOENIX with an elbow blow for the fall. In the main event, Mikio Tsuruya continued his amazing run of success as he and Yankizoku defeated AVENIR, with Tsuruya spiking Kazuki Takagi with the Murder Carnival for the three count.

2009-08-24T04:40:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON held an event at the Matsuyama Townsman Gymnasium in an incredible three match event that still managed to go over an hour! Shuji Kawashima could not mesh with his Yankizoku partners in the first match, leading to C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Ikuji Royama putting the young man down with the Sliding Shotei. Mikio Tsuruya continued his run of awesome success, as the unofficial "T-1 Heavyweight Champion" and his Yankizoku teammates bested the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY team, with Tsuruya gaining the pinfall over Hayato Saigo with Tsuruya's devastating Murder Carnival Piledriver. In the final match, LOVE came out victorious against a combined AVENIR/Unaligned team, with PHOENIX once again displaying his awesome skills, as he squashed Kazuki Takagi with his shooting star press, named the OverStar for the three count.

2009-08-22T23:05:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON held a relatively minor event at the Takanosu Town Gymnasium, doing a respectable 920 attendance. In the opening match, generation rivals and now AVENIR allies Keiji Hirano and Kenjiro Amagawa faced off in a back and forth match that many thought was match of the night. In the end, Amagawa continued his success at being the higher ranked of the two, as he submitted Hirano with the Figure-Four. Both shook hands and embraced post match. LOVE's war with Makoto Saito and SLAYER continued, this time with Jake Bishop going insane with a chair, knocking the refere unconscious and repeatedly attacking Saito and SLAYER to gain the DQ. Mikio Tsuruya continued his great form as "T-1 Heavyweight Champion" as he pinned Toshiro Noguchi with the Murder Carnival for the second time this tour, gaining an indirect victory over Masakazu Fujimoto, his opponent on the 31st at Korakuen Hall. In the main event, virtually every junior in CRIMSON faced off in a spectacular twelve man tag. The combined force of Royama, Saigo, Kuroki, Kaisen Tiger, Daishi & Yamada overcame the team of Inoue, Murata, Tomizaki, Hiriyama, Okamura & PHOENIX as Ikuji Royama proved his strength as C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion once again by punting Tomizaki's head into the stands with a high kick.

BIG BOY Tomizaki also introduced a new hold, a butterfly submission hold. Tomizaki named it the "TomiTomi Clutch", which earned him ridicule from his Yankizoku allies due to how cute the move sounds...Tomizaki pouted while he maintained that it was "hard" sounding…

[CRIMSON] 8/17/09 ~ August Lineups...T-1 Heavyweight?!

2009-08-18T17:11:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON President Yuki Nomura announced the upcoming lineups for August for the company. Accompanying Yuki Nomura during the reveal was Mikio Tsuruya who proudly carried the C-1 Heavyweight Championship he stole from Akuma Toyota as if he had won the championship. Nomura attempted to coerce Tsuruya into relinquishing control of the championship, but Tsuruya flatly refused claiming that the title was now his. Nomura then attempted hardball tactics, threatening Tsuruya with suspension if he refused to hand over the championship. Nomura's threats failed to faze Tsuruya, who simply said he'd take the championship with him to his home...

The issue of Akuma Toyota was discussed, with Nomura revealing that Toyota would be missing at the very least the upcoming tour as he recovered from Tsuruya's attacks. Nomura fully admitted that this left the C-1 Heavyweight Championship in limbo, as the issue of title vacancy had come up...At this point; Mikio Tsuruya shoved Nomura before declaring that HE was the C-1 Heavyweight Champion! As if to prove his point, Tsuruya pulled a sticker out of his pocket, and plastered a T over the C on the championship belt. Tsuruya announced himself as the first ever T-1 Heavyweight Champion and would be a fighting champion!

Yuki Nomura's patience snapped, as Nomura with a growl in his voice announced that if he couldn't convince Tsuruya to be a "decent human being", he could enact revenge on Akuma Toyota's behalf. Tsuruya's attitude gave the impression he couldn't care less, until Nomura revealed that Tsuruya would "defend" the T-1 Heavyweight Championship against Akuma Toyota's tag team partner, and C-2 Openweight Champion Masakazu Fujimoto at Korakuen Hall!

[CRIMSON] 9/16/09 ~ News ~ C-1 Heavyweight Champion...Mikio Tsuruya?!

2009-08-16T02:20:00.001-07:00

Mikio Tsuruya continued his villainous actions after Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's RISE UP in Yokohama ended. Tsuruya, apparently unsatisfied with his in-ring attack on Akuma Toyota, according to reports attacked the C-1 Heavyweight Champion as Toyota left the building. In front of scattered fans, Tsuruya viciously attacked Toyota once again with a chain easily gaining the advantage over the weakened champion, only to set up a killing blow. To the shock of the gathering crowd, Tsuruya lifted the C-1 Heavyweight Champion and gave him the Murder Carnival, a double underhook piledriver on the CEMENT! Tsuruya fled from the scene of the crime when Yuki Nomura led AVENIR to the scene. However, Tsuruya managed to steal the C-1 Heavyweight Championship off the ground while fleeing. By that point the damage had been done. Medical help rushed to Akuma Toyota, who was placed in a neck brace, placed on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance. As of right now, the only confirmation of Toyota's status is that Toyota has not suffered a significant neck injury, but has suffered a concussion and moderate neck sprains.

There is no word on the status of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship which now resides in Mikio Tsuruya's possession, nor is there any information on the possible punishment for Tsuruya's actions.

[CRIMSON] 8/14/09 @ Yokohama Club Heaven

2009-08-15T04:29:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON held a rare event in Yokohama, headlined by hometown star Naoki Daishi making his first attempt at the C-1 Heavyweight Championship...In the opening match, AVENIR's Kenjiro Amagawa and Shinsuke Takahashi once again proved their strength as a team, as they easily dispatched the Yankizoku team of Keoni Murata and BIG BOY Tomizaki, Amagawa planting Tomizaki with a Backdrop Hold. Murata protested Amagawa's use of "his move" after the match, and the two argued over who had the best Backdrop Hold. LOVE, led by Tenshin Komatsu scored a decisive victory over the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY and the unaligned duo of Makoto Saito and SLAYER. Komatsu blasted Shuji Kawashima with the Komatsu Knee Kick for the win. LOVE and Yankizoku couldn't get along in the third match, as team of Ryoma Inoue and PHOENIX imploded almost immediately against Toshiro Noguchi and Keiji Hirano. After PHOENIX laid out Inoue with the Another Fate, Hirano debuted his new move, a flying boot to the face called the "Hirano Rocket" for the three count. Yankizoku and the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY had yet another battle on the card, this time with four out of the five champions in CRIMSON. Despite the power of a team consisting of Nobuyori Shimizu, Hayato Saigo, Ikuji Royama & Masakazu Fujimoto, Yankizoku would emerge victorious. Mikio Tsuruya bashed Hayato Saigo over the head with a chair behind the referee's back to set up Tsuruya's new move the "Murder Carnival", a double under hook piledriver for the fall.

Pro-Wrestling FURY and Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON collided once again, this time for the PWC Jr. Tag Team Championships, as PREDATORS finally made true of their dream to return the championships to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. The two teams went toe to toe early, with PREDATORS using speed to counter the UPRISER'z team's power and trickery. The end series was a flurry of bodies and high level moves. Kaisen Tiger hit Manabe Tsuji with his Tsuki Hikari but Tsuji managed to kick out. A Bullet Wrath and PRISM resulted in the same result. At the same time, Kuroki survived RYUJI's Diving Headbutt but PREDATORS successfully dodged Tsuji's Guts Coaster multiple times. Where a single move failed to gain the result, a medley sealed the deal. In quick succession, PREDATORS hit RYUJI with a PRISM from Kuroki, a Bullet Wrath from Kaisen Tiger, a high angle Fisherman Buster from Kuroki, and finally a second Tsuki Hikari. With Kuroki holding Tsuji back, the three count was registered giving PREDATORS the hard fought victory and the PWC Jr. Tag Team Championships! During the title presentation, PREDATORS beamed with pride, before Hiroshi Kuroki called the night the greatest of his career, saying they had finally achieved their goal. In broken Japanese, Tiger declared that CRIMSON was #1 and PREDATORS were #1 as well, to loud cheers!

Naoki Daishi has fought in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON since 2003. He has never received a C-1 Heavyweight Championship match. In Yokohama he would finally gain the chance, and the ability to prove his mantra once and for all. Standing in his way was the dominating invincible champion Akuma Toyota. The Yokohama crowd made their feelings known immediately, treating Akuma Toyota hostily before the match even began. The match followed a simple formula early, as Toyota would swing and charge blindly using power but instead of fighting Toyota straight up, Daishi would counter or maneuver out of the way to Toyota's frustration. Daishi attempted to wear down Toyota with holds and low kicks, but Toyota continually powered out of every move. Daishi managed to trap Toyota in a Triangle Choke after Toyota lifted Daishi in the air, nearly causing the champion to pass out. However, in a feat of strength, Toyota powerbombed Daishi while in the hold. Not once or twice, but FOUR TIMES until Daishi finally released the hold. From there, Daishi could no longer escape Toyota, who nearly took his head off with a lariat for a near fall. A few minutes later, and two Akuma Ichimonji's later, Akuma Toyota put down his junior challenger, and crushed the hopes of the Yokohama fans.

Akuma Toyota would not have long to enjoy his victory, as nearly immediately he was attacked from behind by Yankizoku's MIKIO TSURUYA! Tsuruya assaulted Toyota with a chain, blasting Toyota multiple times in the face with his fist wrapped in the chain, before attempting to choke the life out of Toyota. Yuki Nomura attempted to pull off Tsuruya, only to be punched in the face by Tsuruya aswell, leading to Nomura bleeding profusely. Tsuruya began using his fingernails to rip and tear at the cut of Toyota until surprisingly it was AVENIR that came to the ring and not the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY, forcing Tsuruya to flee the ring. Tsuruya made the motion of putting a belt around his waist, as Nomura attempted to get medical help for both himself, and Toyota who laid in a puddle of his own blood.

[ATTACK GIRLS!] 8/10/09 @ Ohasama Town Country Plaza

2009-08-10T16:55:00.000-07:00

ATTACK GIRLS held it's seventh event, once again in front of a near capacity crowd at the Ohasama Town Country Plaza. In the opening match, two of the newest ATTACK GIRLS made their debuts as the massive Sadako Miura faced off against the rebel girl Haruka Ito. Despite the twenty three cm difference, Ito controlled the early portion of the match using whatever heelish tactic she could hastily devise. At one point, Ito went as far as to light up a cigarette and attempt to STAB it into Miura's face. With the absolute gigantic difference in size, Miura was able to overcome any skill advantages Ito had over her. Miura displayed great leaping ability with a dropkick to Ito's face leading up to a knee kick to Ito's chest to seal the victory.

Two odd teams faced off in the second bout of the night, as FURY GIRL Jaguar Dream teamed with professional fighter Kyoko Saito to take on the masked KURONEKO and the former power lifter Crusher Hayashi. Jaguar and KURONEKO had several strong sprints, but the spotlight belonged to Kyoko Saito who tossed KURONEKO on her head with a hip throw leading directly to a choke sleeper for the submission victory.

The third debut of the night saw Yuuko Matsumoto team with submission based wrestler Aimi Nakamura against the team of Double FURY, AISUKA and Kaoru Hamaguchi. Matsumoto brought energy to the match, being in constant motion throughout the match. Yet at the same time Matsumoto displayed great power hitting a running powerslam on AISUKA at one point. Aimi Nakamura also broke somewhat out of her shell, as she pulled off several slick submission moves including a rolling knee bar for a close call on AISUKA. Yet the shining stars were Double FURY, as they displayed a new team move, as Hamaguchi lifted Matsumoto up in a backdrop, allowing to AISUKA hitting a missile dropkick to Matsumoto's face. Following the double team, Hamaguchi planted Matsumoto with the Hamamguchi Roll for the three count. All four women shared handshakes in appreciation of the short burst they had fought in. And once again, Double FURY complained that there are no tag titles for them to fight for in ATTACK GIRLS, before AISUKA defiantly declared that they would just have to go after male tag team championships if that was the case!

The original feud of ATTACK GIRLS gained another chapter in the semi final, as SUKEBAN led by Tomiko Inoue along with Naga Masuno and Kong Ichiwara faced off against the Seikigun team of the niece of Ryo Suzuki Minako Suzuki, "Zero Bomber" Aya Tamura, and "Wrestling Idol" Satoko Fukazawa in six women action. The match was back and forth, with SUKEBAN surprisingly wrestling relatively cleanly. In the end, they wouldn't need heel tactics to gain the win, as Tomiko Inoue heading into her PWC International Women's Championship match gained strong momentum as she spiked Satoko Fukazawa with the Rose Thorn for the three count.

Chihiro Nomura made her debut in the main event of the first ATTACK GIRLS! event of August, against PWC International Women's Champion "Devil Queen" Miyabi Fujita. Nomura displayed no fear of Fujita's wickedness, but found she had to play defense the entire match. Fujita attacked Nomura with intense fury, ripping at Nomura's face, eyes, and even at one point attempted to hang Nomura with her trademark chain. To the joy of the Iwate fans, and her father Yuki Nomura in the front row, Chihiro refused to fall to Fujita's brutish tactics and fought on. When Nomura refused to fall easily, Fujita resorted to brute power, giving Nomura a series of snap-style leaping piledrivers, spiking Nomura's head into the ground five times in a row. However, even that wouldn't keep Nomura down as the rookie kicked out at 2.9! Chihiro Nomura began to slowly rally from Fujita's relentless attack even managing to duck under Fujita's lariat to hit Fujita with a running elbow to floor the PWC International Women's Champion. With Fujita stunned, Nomura climbed to the top for a flying move, only to have Fujita charge the turnbuckle and kick Nomura directly in the face! With Nomura stunned, Fujita hoisted Nomura above her head, before tossing her to the floor! Nomura landed in a heap, but an angered Fujita had decided she wanted to hurt Nomura. Fujita lifted Nomura up before giving her a crushing Brainbuster on the floor! Satoko Fukazawa attempted to restrain Fujita from listing Nomura back up, screaming that Fujita had done enough, but Haruka Ito attacked Fukazawa, and held her from behind. After deadlifting Nomura and rolling her back in the ring, Fujita played with Chihiro. Fujita tauntingly kicked Nomura in the side of the head, screaming at her to get up while calling her every obscenity Fujita could think of. In the crowd, Yuki Nomura furiously screamed at Fujita to end the match which only earned a taunting smile from Miyabi Fujita. True to her heritage, Nomura pulled herself up to a vertical base to challenge Fujita again. Nomura threw an elbow to Fujita's chest which had no effect but was answered by a deafening slap directly to Nomura's face! Chihiro's body lurched to one side as she struggled to stay upright. Fujita settled the issue by giving Nomura a crushing short-range Fujita Lariat. Fujita placed one foot on the side of Nomura's head to gain the three count and the hatred of the fans in the Ohasama Town Country Plaza.

After the three count, Fujita slipped her foot down a few inches to put it right across Nomura's throat. Fujita posed as she choked Nomura callously. Finally breaking free of Ito, Fukazawa darted into the ring and attacked Fujita with forearms. However, Fujita ended Fukazawa's attack with a slap to the face flooring the wrestling idol. However, Fukazawa had enough wherewithal to push Fujita's foot off Nomura's throat and cover Nomura's body with her own. Fujita screamed at Fukazawa to leave as she stomped away at Fukazawa's back but Fukazawa refused to leave her friend. Miyabi Fujita's rampage would come to a halt as the rest of the ATTACK GIRLS locker room empted led by Minako Suzuki and Aya Tamura forcing Fujita to flee in the face of the superior numbers.

[CRIMSON] 8/09/09 ~ RISE UP in YOKOHAMA + August & September Dates

2009-08-09T00:27:00.000-07:00

After twelve days of silence, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON announced the next step in the promotion's whirlwind 2009. In front of reporters, Yuki Nomura announced the dates and schedules for August alongside C-1 Heavyweight Champion Akuma Toyota and his next challenger...Junior stalwart Naoki Daishi! Both men appeared in suits, posing for pictures. President Yuki Nomura announced that Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON would make it's first foray into Kanagawa, specifically in Yokohama with the main event of Naoki Daishi making his first ever challenge for the C-1 Heavyweight Championship.

The RISE UP tour will be the first tour Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON has embarked on since the beginning of the "Weekend Rhapsody" concept. The tour begins on the 14th in Yokohama, and concludes on the 31st in Tokyo. The tour will be almost immediately followed up by the FUSION J-LEAGUE tour which will go from September 2nd to the 27th. However, Nomura was tight lipped regarding the tournament, other then confirming that it would be returning after a hiatus last year.

Akuma Toyota and Naoki Daishi both gave comments regarding their C-1 Heavyweight Championship bout. Daishi praised Akuma Toyota as "invincible", saying that he had no chance of beating Toyota with brute power. However, Daishi once again stated his mantra that technique can defeat power, and said that in front of his home fans in Yokohama, he would become the first Junior to ever reach the C-1 Heavyweight Championship! Toyota was significantly less kind about his choice of words. Toyota praised Daishi's abilities against juniors, but openly questioned Daishi's intelligence to try and face him in a singles match, adding that he would embarrass Daishi in front of his hometown fans. Toyota's comments struck a nerve with Daishi, as Daishi announced that if Toyota did not submit to one of Daishi's painful submission holds, Daishi would hold nothing back in breaking Toyota's limbs if he had to! Toyota's response was to hold up one his fists to Daishi's face, then added that he would "crush" Daishi's aspirations with one fist! Before anything developed further, Nomura intervened and seperated the two. Toyota immediately stalked off, apparently having had enough of the meeting...

On top of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship match, the PWC Jr. Tag Team Championships will also be decided, as Pro-Wrestling FURY's team "OSAKA WILD STYLE" consisting of RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji from UPRISER'z will defend against Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's "PREDATORS" team of Hiroshi Kuroki & Kaisen Tiger. This will be PREDATORS second attempt at the PWC Jr. Tag Team Championships, after failing back in April against the DREAM HEROES team of Jet Jaguar from FURY and GALLEON from Nansei. RYUJI and Tsuji, evil wrestlers to the core, will aim at ruining the dream of PREDATORS to return the PWC Jr. Tag Team Championships to CRIMSON a second time.

[ATTACK GIRLS] 8/02/09 ~ Second Wave of ATTACK GIRLS & August Dates

2009-08-02T16:03:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's female brand ATTACK GIRLS held a press conference at the Ryo Suzuki dojo in Morioka, Iwate where local reporters and fans were allowed to attend.

Ryo Suzuki began the public session by thanking local Iwate reporters and fans in attendance for coming, saying that tonight would be the first of many "defining" moments to come for ATTACK GIRLS. Suzuki hinted that there was an even bigger announcement waiting in the wings, but skillfully avoided saying anything too important. Suzuki announced that the "second wave" of ATTACK GIRLS would be revealed here, along with information for the August event dates at the end.

Ryo Suzuki virtually congratulated himself before introducing the first of the four new wrestlers, calling it a "magnificent scouting find". Suzuki discussed the former athletic career of Sadako Miura, a former volleyball player with Olympic hopes before her knee injury. Suzuki detailed the major surgery that had been a handicap for Miura since, knocked her out of volleyball, and became an albatross that Miura fought through during her training. However, Suzuki announced that Miura had refused to let her knee stand in her way and was prepared to make her debut!

A former volleyball player in high school and college, Sadako Miura has attracted interest due to her staggering height. A potential Olympic hopeful, a knee injury forced her out of volleyball and ended her potential career. Miura eventually was recruited into the Ryo Suzuki system and began training to be a pro-wrestler in March 2009. At 183 cm, Sadako towers over virtually all women wrestlers (and many male wrestlers), but will need to work on her natural instincts.

Sadako Miura
Birthplace: Edogawa-ku, Tokyo
Birthdate: 04/21/87
Theme Music: "Re: Re:"
Weight: 82kg (180 lbs)
Height: 183cm (6'0")

Sadako Miura's appearance resulted in many photographs being shot, as the 183 cm tall woman walked out to shake hands with her instructor Ryo Suzuki. Suzuki jokingly remarked that Miura even towered over him at 177 cm, much to the embarrassment of Miura. Miura confidently declared that she would use her size to become a strong women's wrestler.

After Miura took her seat, Ryo Suzuki introduced the second of the four new recruits...

An energetic young female wrestler with no significant previous background, Yuuko Matsumoto is the definition of "overall", as her speed, agility, and strength. combine into a overall package While on the somewhat big side, Matsumoto can throw her size around at will.

Yuuko Matsumoto
Birthplace: Sendai-ku, Miyagi
Birthdate: 01/30/89
Theme Music: "Koi no Mega Lover"
Weight: 78kg (171 lbs)
Height: 168cm (5'6")

Yuuko Matsumoto came running out at full speed, unable to keep herself still. Ryo Suzuki had to instruct Matsumoto to calm down to enable them to shake hands. Every question Suzuki asked was met with an enthusiastic "Hai!" to some laughter from the reporters. Matsumoto declared that she was an engine that would never stop and would use relentless energy as her offensive weapon!

Before going to the third graduate, Ryo Suzuki seemed to hesitate, until finally revealing that this girl had been dismissed from the Ryo Suzuki dojo THREE TIMES, but had always managed to sneak back into classes and into the system each time. Suzuki added that if she didn't have natural talent as a pro-wrestler, he would have never graduated her for her terrible attitude and personality...

Even though she is smaller than most in ATTACK GIRLS, Haruka Ito brings serious attitude. Throughout her training, Ito routinely blew off practices, or intentionally attempted to hurt her training partners. Ito has a vicious streak a mile wide.

Haruka Ito
Birthplace: Hiyama-ku, Hokkaido
Birthdate: 07/11/90
Theme Music: "Jigsaw"
Weight: 57kg (125 lbs)
Height: 160cm (5'3")

Haruka Ito walked to Ryo Suzuki appearing to come right off the street. A tattered leather jacket, torn jeans, a Black Label Society T-shirt, her hair streaked with red and a cigarette dangling from her bottom lip. Suzuki attempted to reprimand the girl, but Ito cut Suzuki off by calling him a "useless old man" before saying that she didn't need to listen to his "bullshit" anymore! However, Ito's hard attitude suddenly vanished. Ito shrieked in girlish delight as she saw someone appear from the crowd...PWC International Women's Champion, "Devil Queen" Miyabi Fujita!

Ito attempted to rush Fujita in a blind joyous state, only to have Fujita freeze her into place with a stare. Ito hastily blurted out how much she admired Fujita and had attempted to follow her example. Fujita simply replied "How cute." before turning her attention to Ryo Suzuki. Suzuki demanded to know why Fujita had attended, but Fujita simply replied that she had to see "her", giving Suzuki a hard knowing stare. Ryo Suzuki appeared to know to whom Fujita referenced as Suzuki began to introduce the fourth and final graduate...

Ryo Suzuki began by saying that back in December, it had been the proudest moment of his career as a trainer when he had been approached by Chihiro, claiming it to be the greatest honor he'd ever received to train the daughter of a great friend. Suzuki continued, adding that the only reason Chihiro had missed the initial wave was due to her age and her joining after everyone else. With a flare, Suzuki introduced the "third generation" of the Nomura clan--CHIHIRO NOMURA!

The eldest daughter out of the three daughters sired by Yuki Nomura, and a third generation pro-wrestler Chihiro Nomura made the decision to enter the Ryo Suzuki system to join ATTACK GIRLS in December 2008. A scant sixteen years old, Nomura will continue her education much like other young women in ATTACK GIRLS while wrestling on the side. Chihiro Nomura has shown the same calm technical abilities that made her father famous. While born in Osaka, Chihiro has lived in the prefecture of Iwate since 2002 with her family, and has become best friends with Satoko Fukazawa.

Name: Chihiro Nomura
Birthplace: Hirano-ku, Osaka
Birthdate: 12/05/93
Theme Music: "Kokoro no Chikai"
Weight: 68kg (150 lbs)
Height: 165cm (5'5")

The Iwate reporters and fans climbed to their feet in applause as the daughter of local legend Yuki Nomura walked out to the podium. However, her way was blocked as Miyabi Fujita stepped in front of Chihiro, with the two daughters' of legendary pro-wrestlers staring at each other. Miyabi would break the silence, as she pointed to Chihiro and told her that SHE would be her first opponent! There wasn't the slightest hint of apprehension in Chihiro Nomura's face as she ACCEPTED the challenge! Satisfied, Miyabi Fujita walked out, with Haruka Ito chasing after her trying to get her attention...

With the obstacle out of the way, Ryo Suzuki was able to get a few comments out of the bashful Chihiro. Chihiro revealed that she had been around pro-wrestling her entire life, and had been a backstage presence at CRIMSON events for years. Chihiro also revealed that she had known about her father's retirement months before he officially announced it, saying that was when she decided to enter pro-wrestling. Chihiro turned confident, saying that she would "never" let the Nomura name fall out of Pro-Wrestling, and would continue her father and grandfather's heritage if it was the last thing she did! Nomura then screamed out "FUJITA-CHAN! I WILL WIN MY FIRST MATCH!", throwing along a fist pump in the air to a loud reaction from the Iwate reporters and fans in attendance.

With everything calmed down, Ryo Suzuki revealed the schedule for ATTACK GIRLS in August. It will be the single biggest month for the small brand in history, as ATTACK GIRLS will run three times, and for the first time will leave Iwate heading to Miyagi! Hearing this, Matsumoto screamed out in joy to laughter...

8/10/09 @ Ohasama Town Country Plaza (380) (Iwate)
8/16/09 @ Onagawa Town Gymnasium (250) (Miyagi)
8/27/09 @ Ohasama Town Country Plaza (380) (Iwate)

With nothing left to announce, Ryo Suzuki ended the meeting saying that match lists would be revealed "soon".

[CRIMSON] 7/27/09 @ Sendai City Gymnasium ~ BATTLE ZONE '09

2009-07-31T21:09:00.000-07:00

Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's historic BATTLE ZONE '09 originated from the Sendai City Gymnasium in Miyagi, as over six thousand fans gathered for the event. The night opened up with a short brawl between former TEXAS ROUGHRIDERS members "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop and SLAYER. The two behemoths beat on each other for several minutes, before their fight spilled out of the ring resulting in a double count out. The fight did not end there, as the two spilled to the backstage area. Bishop and SLAYER would re-emerge four matches later, still heavily fighting during the intermission before SLAYER dropped Bishop with the Zanzai Lariat.

Kenjiro Amagawa had his chance to prove to Masakazu Fujimoto wrong in that he did in fact belong in the title match for Fujimoto's C-2 Openweight Championship. Amagawa tackled Fujimoto intelligently, attacking the large man's legs to weaken him and set up Fujimoto for the Figure-Four Leglock. Later in the match, Amagawa almost forced Fujimoto to submit with the Figure-Four, but Fujimoto used pure courage to survive the hold. Amagawa's fight hit the brick wall of Fujimoto's power, as Fujimoto brutally fought back with clubbing blows and intense power. After two MONSTER! Rush attacks, Amagawa had little left, leading to Fujimoto spiking him with the Mt. Fujimoto Bomb for the three count. Instead of congratulating Amagawa on his fight, Fujimoto coldly informed Amagawa that he had "proven" that Amagawa was not in his league much to the dismay of the young man...

In the first heat up skirmish between PREDATORS and OSAKA WILD STYLE, the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON team of PREDATORS came up short. Kuroki and Kaisen Tiger, along with Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada faced off against four of the top juniors from Pro-Wrestling FURY, F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju, Kyoto Okazaki, and the PWC Jr. Tag Team Champions of Manabu Tsuji and RYUJI, OSAKA WILD STYLE. The UPRISER'Z team ran roughshod early, using various heel tactics and double, triple, and quadruple double team moves. However, The CRIMSON team led by Naoki Daishi made a comeback. Yet it wasn't enough, as Tsuji splattered Hiroshi Kuroki with the Guts Coaster for the three count to prove OSAKA WILD STYLE's strength as a team.

The four units of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON squared off in a four way six man elimination bout. Before the match began, Yuki Nomura came to the ring personally to introduce the newest member of AVENIR, the mysterious X. The X was unsurprisingly the man they had attempted to recruit who had a change of heart in recent months--Yankizoku member Keiji Hirano! This left Yankizoku in a quandary, as they had listed Hirano in the match. However, Ryoma Inoue displayed his cool intelligence as he announced he had "predicted" this outcome, and had BIG BOY Tomizaki on standby as a replacement...The other news item was PHOENIX, the mysterious masked man of LOVE who was a house of fire in the early stages of the match, hitting everything that moves at incredible speeds. To the shock of the Miyagi fans, PHOENIX absolutely destroyed Hayato Saigo, dispatching the Junior Ace with shocking precision, ending with the "OverStar", PHOENIX's Shooting Star Press! LOVE themselves would be next out, as Keiji Hirano, unshackled by the burden of Yankizoku and rule breaking for the first time in almost two years shined, hitting Shino Hiriyama with the Moonsault Press for the three count. Six minutes later, Hirano would make his presence felt even more, as he debuted a new maneuver, a Falcon Arrow where the recipricant spins 180 degrees on BIG BOY Tomizaki for the three count! Hirano dubbed the move the "Savage Arrow" post-match, and announced that he was ready to enter a new chapter of his career alongside his generational peers as a proud member of AVENIR.

Three months ago, Ikuji Royama challenged Keoni Murata for the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship in a match that most expected the red-hot Royama to steamroll through. The trickery of Keoni Murata had other ideas, as with Yankizoku help Murata retained the championship. Three months later, it was Royama's chance for redemption, and he did not come alone as STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY members surrounded the ring to keep Yankizoku from interfering, turning the back into a one on one situation. This did not sit well with Keoni Murata, whose entire reign has been full of chicanery and tricks. Murata attempted to cause a distraction to enable Ichiyo Tatsuko to sneak through the barricade, only to have Masakazu Fujimoto HURL Tatsuko back on the other side. Even Murata's trademark surfboard was confiscated by Nobuyori Shimizu. With no other avenues left to pursue, Murata was forced to engage Ikuji Royama in a straight up battle...and was immediately blitzed by Royama. Murata was battered around the ring with kicks and strikes, leading to Royama hitting his trademark FLARE UP into the Sliding Shotei. However, instead of pinning Murata, Royama coolly pulled Murata to his feet before BLASTING Murata in the face with a high kick, covering to claim his dream of becoming the 11th C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion! Royama gave a passionate speech post-victory, rattling off the names of the wrestlers that Murata had used tricks to defeat instead of being the better wrestler: Hayato Saigo, Naoki Daishi, Akahito Yamada, and Royama himself. Royama insisted that those days had ended, and from now on he would usher in the next wave of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON junior strength!

British superstars Edward Kingston and Johnny Smash were rewarded for their excellent track record in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON just one month in with a C-1 Tag Team Championship bout against Yankizoku's AT Club. Both the Brits and the AT Club brawled early on in the match, with neither side coming out very strong. However, as the match went on the desperation for the British duo grew as they were unable to gain any significant advantage. Smash attempted to bash Takayuki Ariwa with a beer bottle, however, the massive power fighter evaded Smash's attack, before shoving him backwards right into an Enzuigiri from Hiroyuki Takano. With Smash knocked out of the match, the AT Club made quick work of Edward Kingston, as Ariwa hit the Angelos followed by the Moonsault Press by Takano into Ariwa's Splash Mountain for the crushing three count and their fifth title defense.

The Two Princes of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON faced off -- Iron against Deathmatch, as former best friends "Iron Prince" Tenshin Komatsu and " Deathmatch Prince" Makoto Saito fought for only the second time since 2005. Both men made liberal use of the No Disqualification stipulations, with choke holds and weapon attacks abounding. However, it was clear that the advantage lay with Saito, who used weapons far more effectively then Komatsu. The only interjection of LOVE in the match was Shino Hiriyama throwing a garbage can full of plunder into the ring, including two bamboo swords. In the biggest moment of the match, Saito and Komatsu suddenly armed themselves and squared off in an impromptu kendo battle which Komatsu won through distraction after spitting in Saito's face to blind him, and then gave Saito a vicious crack to the skull. Komatsu aimed to finish off Saito with the Shikaeshi, his springboard knee attack, only to have Saito CRACK Komatsu in mid air with a chair. With Komatsu wounded, Saito blasted Komatsu in the face with a volley of kicks, before setting the chair against the side of Komatsu's head. With the chair in place, Saito BRUTALLY punted Komatsu with the Shiraku Blade, covering for the three count! Despite his victory, Saito wasn't satisfied, as he grabbed a ringside microphone and screamed at Komatsu to "repent". When Komatsu refused, Saito began to methodically punch Komatsu directly in the face until blood began to stain Saito's taped wrists. LOVE hit the ring, and pulled Saito away intent to simply save Komatsu from his beating. Despite his complete loss and post-match beating, Komatsu was given a microphone and on his way out began to challenge Saito for the REMATCH, saying that this match had favored Saito but that he wanted the rematch in "his" style, yet would only laugh when Saito demanded to know what that style would be.

In front of the biggest audience to ever view a Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON event, POWER SOURCE winner Tetsuhisa NAKAI from Pro-Wrestling FURY challenged the incumbent champion Akuma Toyota for Toyota's C-1 Heavyweight Championship. The two beasts attacked each other savagely, with Akuma Toyota surprisingly resorting to rule breaking tactics at times, including smashing NAKAI in the head with a chair to set up a nearfall. Toyota tried both the Akuma Ichimonji and Sakujo, but had difficulty raising NAKAI and keeping NAKAI from fighting back. However, NAKAI proved his strength by not falling easily to Toyota's brutish tactics. NAKAI sent the Miyagi crowd into hysterics with the MAX BULLET for the three count, only to be deflated as referee Hanzo Hijiyama revealed that Toyota had gotten his shoulder up at an impossible 2.9999 count. Despite the anger of the Miyagi fans, NAKAI aimed to finish Toyota off with a second MAX BULLET. However, Toyota fought back with brutal blows turned into lariats. However, NAKAI refused to fall even after five full powered Lariat's from Toyota. A sixth running lariat finally put NAKAI down for a near fall. With the lariats failing him, and the two power monsters staring at each other in defiance Toyota suddenly gave NAKAI a BRUTAL leaping headbutt directly to the side of NAKAI's face that landed with a sickening thud. With NAKAI stunned and clutching his head, Toyota capitalized with a fully charged running lariat to the SIDE of NAKAI's head, sending NAKAI collapsing on the ground in a heap giving Akuma Toyota the three count and his sixth defense of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship! The Miyagi audience jeered Toyota's near underhanded tactics and the suddenness of the result. NAKAI, still clutching his face where Toyota had suddenly headbutted him was helped out by his young charge Ryuugo Nagashima, while Toyota gave a victorious speech to the Miyagi fans. Toyota called the Miyagi audience out for cheering an "outsider" against him, before ending that regardless if they liked Akuma Toyota or not, he had proven once again that he was the strongest champion in the world to a shockingly loud negative reaction.
