[Results] 4/24/2010 @ Korakuen Hall

- The Road to DREAM + INFINITE V officially kicked off tonight in Korakuen Hall, in front of an overfull crowd of 2,350 fans! As advertised, Tetsuhisa NAKAI came out to address the fans regarding his recent actions. He wasn't alone, however, as he was accompanied by Daisuke Iwata, YAKUTA, RYUJI, Manabe Tsuji, Yoshihiro Shimoda, ATSUKA, Kyoto Okazaki, and Nobusan... NAKAI, very cold in demeanor, said that he had no remorse for his actions against Norihiro Akashi, calling him a “spoiled punk.” As the fans slowly turned their favor against him, NAKAI fired back, saying that he no longer cared what other people thought of him, saying that they had only been holding him back since the very beginning of FURY. NAKAI said that over time, FURY had slowly become rotten to its core, and would now be reformed how he sat fit.

NAKAI then began to talk about his fascination with Norse mythology, reciting the events of Ragnarök, which depict a great battle resulting in the death of a number gods and deities. He said this was his vision of FURY's future, substituting gods for FURY's top stars, including Akira Takayoshi, Hiroaki Nakata, Otsuo Kayusa, Naoki Fukuda, and even rising stars such as Norihiro Akashi... He called himself, along with every other individual standing in the ring as “instruments of prophecy.” Finally, Daisuke Iwata and YAKUTA both slowly revealed a large banner, revealing “RAGNARÖK” as the units official name. NAKAI ended by shouting, “TO THE GODS OF FURY... PREPARE YOURSELVES!”

- In the first match of the night, Tetsujin faced off against Mamoru Sekishima in a battle of FURY's youth generation. Both men attacked with everything they had. Sekishima appeared to have the edge, using his added size and strength. Tetsujin however surprised many by taking everything Sekishima threw at him, only to come back! After a series of kesagiri chops, Tetsujin managed to hoist Sekishima up, and connect with the Tetsuotoshi, giving him the three count!

- RAGNARÖK official debuted as a unit in the next match, as YAKUTA and Kyoto Okazaki defeated NEW FORCE's Hidaka Kamon and Kazuki Sendo. The heels entered with new ring gear sporting the “RAGNARÖK” name and theme. Despite putting up a strong fight, Sendo's spirit and determination wasn't enough to beat Kyoto Okazaki, who flattened Sendo with the Otokogoroshi for the three count...

- RAGNARÖK continued their good luck in the next match, as ATSUKA, Yoshihiro Shimoda and Nobusan defeated F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Jet Jaguar, Kotaro Ota, and Fumihiko Shirai. The fast-paced sprint came to a sudden end after ATSUKA trapped Ota with the Viento Clutch just long enough to secure the three count... ATSUKA rubbed the victory into his former protege's face, prompting Ota to charge after ATSUKA, only to be restrained. On the microphone, Ota challenged ATSUKA to a singles match for next month's Korakuen on 5/16. ATSUKA laughed, and accepted Ota's challenge. In addition, both Shimoda and ATSUKA said that they would make a major announcement on FURY's 5/02 show in Kyoto...

- In the next match, Akira Takayoshi, Naoyuki Watanabe and Etsuya Kawachi of NEW FORCE defeated REAL-ONE's Naoki Fukuda, Jun Kobayashi and Kenichiro Hujikawa in a competitive six-man tag match. In the end, Akira would catch Hujikawa with the Tiger Suplex hold, giving NEW FORCE the victory... Then, all hell broke lose.

Within minutes of the result, a figure hit the ring, TACKLING Akira to the mat! The man was eventually pulled off, revealing Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's AKUMA TOYOTA. After being pulled off, Toyota rolled to the outside, where he grabbed the house microphone. Toyota said that it was a joke that Akira Takayoshi was challenging for CRIMSON's C-1 Heavyweight title, saying he refused to allow a FURY wrestler “dirty” the championship he rightfully never lost. This raised the ire of the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion, Naoki Fukuda, who took exception to FURY wrestlers being called “dirty.” Toyota promptly told Fukuda to “sit down,” saying that being F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion gave him no authority. Fukuda, referring to Toyota as “MVP,” said that he wouldn't allow any outsider to invade a FURY show and talk bad about his home promotion. The hostile banter between Fukuda and Toyota continued, until Toyota finally called Fukuda out, CHALLENGING HIM FOR THE F-MAX UNIFIED HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! Toyota jokingly said that since CRIMSON is giving a FURY wrestler a title match, it's only appropriate that FURY returned the favor. Fukuda appeared intrigued, and said that he recognized Toyota as a very serious threat. However, he said that FURY's wrestlers were the highest, and would defeat any outside threat, and promptly accepted Toyota's challenge! Toyota smirked, and said that when CRIMSON won both title matches, it would prove their superiority!

- In the main event, RAGNARÖK made it 3-0 as Tetsuhisa NAKAI, Daisuke Iwata, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji edged out the victory over OOINARU WAZA's Otsuo Kayusa, Chikao Kessin, Norihiro Akashi and Seiji Sasaki. Like their comrades, every RAGNARÖK member entered with new ring attire to reflect the RAGNARÖK theme. Unlike the others however, NAKAI entered carrying a large hammer straight out of Thor... The hammer actually came into play towards the end of the match, after NAKAI used it to take out Norihiro Akashi's right knee! Minutes later, RAGNARÖK secured the victory after Manabe Tsuji pancaked Seiji Sasaki with the Guts Coaster...

After the match, FURY's medical staff attended to Akashi's injury while RAGNARÖK celebrated their victory in the ring. NAKAI eventually took the microphone, and said that tonight was only the beginning... RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji spoke as well, issuing a challenge to the F-MAX Tag Team Champions, TAKU and Go Taniguchi... The champs appeared to confront their supposed challengers... Before they could speak up however, they would be cut off by Otsuo Kayusa, who too issued a challenge to the champions! Go, speaking rationally for once, suggested that both teams face off in a contest to determine the true #1 contender. Everyone agreed. Go finally suggested a checkers deathmatch between both teams. Nobody agreed. TAKU finally suggested a #1 contenders match for FURY's 5/02 show in Kyoto. When asked who his partner would be, Kayusa said that it would be a NEW MEMBER of Ooinaru Waza, sent personally from America by KAZUMA FUJITA! Of course, he will be revealed on 5/02.
