3. Tiger Vs Dragon: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when Shota submitted Shimomura with the Sharpshooter (9:59).
4. The Challenge Of Cameraman Imanari: Yumehito Imanari Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Double Knockout (18:08).
5. Union Pro Wrestling Memoirs! Daihyo Vs Daihyo, Single Match Of Fate ~ No DQ Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Ken Ohka with the Isamuashi Zan (15:14).

The first singles match between Ken Ohka and Isami Kodaka in many, many years (only one I could find happened in 2007) was a bloody one. It was revealed at the start of the show that the match was now No Disqualifications. Ohka’s head got bloodied when Kodaka threw him into the ring post outside. Kodaka then caused more damage by focusing on the head wound. Ohka returned the favour and busted Kodaka open before hitting him with the Spear Of Fire. Ohka hit a Superplex but Kodaka fired back with a Top Rope Frankensteiner. Kodaka then used a Wrist Clutch to get behind Ohka and hit him with a Knee Strike to the back of the head. That left Ohka as a sitting duck for the Isamuashi Zan.

After the match Kodaka joked that Ohka needs just a little bit more wrestling practice. He also brought up that the first thing he noticed when he showed up in Ganbare☆Wrestling was the enthusiastic atmosphere in the room because of the Ganpro fans. They shook hands and Kodaka declared that Sento Minzoku will withdraw from Ganpro. The feud is over. Kodaka then saw Cherry standing in the corner of the room and said he wanted Naomi Susan to be at the show today too. Kodaka finished his promo by saying even though he lost to Ryota Nakatsu in BASARA, he won’t give up and will climb back up to the top of the independents one more time! Finally, Ohka should call him if he has any problems. Ohka invited him for a drink but Kodaka turned him down because he has a match in K-DOJO tomorrow to prepare for. When Sento Minzoku left, Ohka praised Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota for winning their match against Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura earlier. Ganpro may have ultimately lost the feud but the group will continue to wrestle otherwise there will be no growth for them.

There was one other notable result in the Ganpro Vs Sento Minzoku feud. Yumehito Imanari wasn’t able to beat Minoru Fujita but he didn’t lose either. After a hard fought battle, a strike exchange left both wrestlers down on the mat. Imanari didn’t have enough strength to get back up so instead he used all of his remaining energy to clasp onto Fujita’s leg and keep him from getting up too, resulting in both men getting counted out and the match ending in a Double Knockout. Fujita was confused but he accepted the result because he had no strength left to stand without any support.

Bambi returned to Ganpro in the guise of her old gimmick “Showa”-ko. She wore a mask and a school gym outfit. Cherry joined in by becoming “Heisei”-ko. She wore a sailor uniform and had her face painted to look like heavy ganguro makeup. It looks veeeeery dodgy without context so let’s just leave it at that.

6 Shizuoka Triumph! Makoto Oishi Ambition Of Sengoku Gunyu-den ~Sontaku~ Survival 4 Way Match: Mad Paulie defeated Makoto Oishi, Konosuke Takeshita and HARASHIMA (15:29).
6a. Mad Paulie eliminated HARASHIMA by Ring Out (11:28).
6b. Mad Paulie eliminated Konosuke Takeshita by Ring Out (12:59).
6c. Mad Paulie eliminated Makoto Oishi with the Paulie Buster (15:29).

The main event 4 Way was held under elimination rules where getting knocked over the top rope and out of the ring would remove a wrestler from the match. Mad Paulie went on a tear by eliminating both HARASHIMA and Konosuke Takeshita by Ring Out. However the reason Takeshita got eliminated was so the hometown wrestler Makoto Oishi could stay in the match and win for his fans. Oishi was given extra motivation when DAMNATION found his wife Misaki Ohata and his mother Machiko sitting in the audience. Nobuhiro Shimatani grabbed Ohata and threw her into the ring for Paulie to attack her. Ohata got out of the way and her husband got ready to win the match. Unfortunately Paulie gave him the Paulie Buster and won instead.

Afterwards Daisuke Sasaki feigned disappointment in Oishi then calmed Paulie down with the promise of giving him porn when they go backstage. When they left, Ohata complained to Oishi over what just happened. When she retired from wrestling she was promised she would never have to step in the ring and get involved ever again. Also Oishi lost after both she and Takeshita helped him out. If he is meant to be the hero today then he better finish the show with something cool. Oishi apologised to the fans for losing but said whenever DDT comes to Shimizu, they get to see the cool side of Makoto Oishi. He doesn’t know when DDT will come back. It may even be ten years down the line. But Oishi will be there every time DDT comes back so please everyone bring at least two or three more friends with you to the show!

Yukio Sakaguchi and Keisuke Okuda got in each other’s faces after their loss to DAMNATION. They had to be pulled apart.

Antonio Honda used the excuse of a chronic disease induced seizure to talk about Gongitsune but MAO stopped him from doing it. Later Honda took the microphone again when he hurt his knee. This time it was to talk about MAO’s favourite anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. The action went even weirder when the two duelled over pinching nipples. Honda blinded MAO with the Shining Gongitsune but even then a blinded MAO was able to put Honda in a Backslide Pin for the three count. MAO told Honda that he is extreme too then called for an intermission because he can’t see.

The DISASTER BOX reunion saw Shogo “Jet” Takagi do his jab combo in tune to “TOKYO GO!” Yuki Iino also wrestled part of the match in rugby headgear given to him by Takeshita. He kept wearing it for his haka victory dance while “Holding Out For A Hero” by Miki Asakura played in the arena.

2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mina Shirakawa and Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Shirakawa with a Crushed Oklahima Roll (9:37).

6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku when Sakazaki pinned Kamifuku with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (13:12).
*V5 for the Magical Sugar Rabbits.

The TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match took an unusual turn when Yuki Kamifuku disappeared and was replaced by a Good Looking Guy. The appearance of this Good Looking Guy motivated Yuna Manase until the Magical Sugar Rabbits pulled off the Guy’s jacket and sunglasses to reveal it was just Kamifuku in disguise. The Rabbits flattened the Kano Sisters with a Double Cross Body then Mizuki got Manase out of the ring. Kamifuku tried to fight back against Kamifuku but her Fame Asser was countered into into the Magical Merry Go Round. Yuka Sakazaki then hit the Magical Magical Girl Splash to win the match. The champions admitted today turned out to be a risky defence because their usual wrestling pace was broken by their challengers.

Misao is now winning matches but she isn’t satisfied. She feels miserable and curses her weakness. Sakisama says everyone has a destiny when they are born. Sakisama was born to be loved and convey beauty to the world. Others are born to give her a sense of superiority. Misao said they do not need weeds in this beautiful world for Sakisama.

Rika Tatsumi started her match wanting to do the Good Night Express instead of Raku. Everyone else even Tatsumi’s tag partners decided to do the Good Night Express on Tatsumi instead.

Pom Harajuku nearly won the 3 Way Match by pulling off a favourite trick of mine on her opponents. When Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa were battling over a Backslide Pin spot, Harajuku trip both of them as their arms were locked up and rolled the both of them onto their shoulders for a double pin. Both kicked out, Nakajima hit Harajuku with the 619, Shirakawa tried to give Nakajima an Oklahoma Roll but it was blocked and Nakajima pressed down on her to get the three count. Nakajima was frustrated over the result.

Hikari Noa and Pinano Pipipipi shared a bottle of tea together in the ring before their match as a sign of a clean fight. Noa instead knocked the bottle into Pinano and started the match.

NEO Biishiki-gun again interrupted the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performance at the start of the show.

It was announced that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s next show at Korakuen Hall after 3rd May will take place on 25th August. This is following the same Korakuen schedule from last year.

Thunder Rosa will make her Tokyo Joshi debut on 3rd May.
