GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I HAVE NEVER SEEN 2018”, 19/05/2018
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Attitude Of The Imanari Revolution: Yumehito Imanari Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
2. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Shota

On 1st May Shota signed a full time contract with Ganbare☆Wrestling. To mark the occasion he challenged Keisuke Ishii for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Shota was working with Guts World then went on an excursion to America after the company closed in April. Ohka had always wanted Shota to join Ganpro proper and approached him to make it happen when Shota no longer had a home promotion.

Yumehito Imanari has started the Imanari Revolution so he can be recognised as a main eventer. His campaign began successfully when he defeated Takeshi Okada in the main event of last month’s show. Now he faces Shuichiro Katsumura, the leader of Katsumura-gun and also the person who previously helped train him to fight Ganpro’s enemies. Imanari hopes that this match will be the main event.

May 4, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~”, 04/05/2018
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall
301 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Toru Owashi & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Sakaguchi pinned Shimatani with the PK (6:29).
2. 3 Way Match: Hiratimo Dragon defeated Antonio Honda and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi by Disqualification when Kikuchi unmasked Dragon (10:06).
3. HARASHIMA & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi & Yuki Ueno when Takao pinned Oishi with the Official Endless Waltz (11:44).
4. Dirty Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Mad Paulie ended in a No Contest (8:09).
5. Shigehiro Irie, Mizuki Watase & Jason Kincaid defeated Keisuke Ishii, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Irie pinned Iwasaki with the Beast Bomber (9:27).
6. Born In Shiroishi Tetsuya Endo Triumph! DAMNATION Vs Shuten-dōji!: Tetsuya Endo defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Shooting Star Press (16:01).
7. Osaka City Origin MAO Local Triumph! Miyagi Specialty Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & MAO defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when MAO pinned Katsumata with a Cannonball 450 (20:01).

MAO thanked Kazusada Higuchi for providing strong support as part of their main event victory. Even though the show was in MAO’s home city he didn’t get a hero’s welcome from the crowd. He told them that broke his heart.

Tetsuya Endo dedicated his win over Masahiro Takanashi to Daisuke Sasaki. He also isn’t happy that he has to replace Sasaki as Soma Takao’s opponent this Sunday. According to Endo he never agreed to take the match.

Keisuke Ishii avoided Shigehiro Irie as much as he could during their trios match. Irie said DDT is giving them several opportunities to fight before their KO-D Openweight Title match so Ishii can’t run away from him forever.

Danshoku Dieno’s urges got out of control and caused his match with Mad Paulie to be called off. Paulie, Yukinori Matsui and Yuki Iino were all targeted by Dieno.

In the 3 Way Match Antonio Honda unmasked Hiratimo Dragon by accident. In a panic Honda threw the mask to Tsuyoshi Kikuchi. Kikuchi wore the mask and tried to continue wrestling but the referee disqualified him and awarded Hiratimo the victory.
