7. A Phantom Dream! Single Match Of Fate!: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

To show how much today’s main event meant to Minoru Fujita, he wore his old gear going back to when he was a regular in Ganbare☆Wrestling. He used chairs to his advantage early on. The match also meant a lot to Shuichiro Katsumura and his relationship with Ganpro. As the match entered its final minutes, Katsumura started using the finishing moves of other Ganpro wrestlers like the Chubby Knee Kick, the Double Arm DDT, the Sharpshooter, the Fisherman Suplex and the Fire Spear. In the final minute Fujita defended himself to prevent Katsumura from locking in a Torso Sleeper Hold. He was about to get trapped in a Cross Armbreaker when the time expired and the bell rang.

After the match Fujita announced he is graduating from Ganpro. He regrets not asking for today’s match to be for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. He also joked that since he is with BASARA he won’t lose to Ganpro. To him, Katsumura is no longer his rival. He is his friend and the next time they wrestle it will be even better. Katsumura told him that Ganpro will always wait for their graduates to come back. There were a few times during this conversation when Yumehito Imanari cut in to sing a graduation song for Fujita.

The Real GUTS Army completely ran through Ganpro in their three match series. Masked Mystery ambushed Ken Ohka during his ring introduction and snuck away with the victory thanks to his Mystery Magic cradle. In the second match Mystery returned to help Shota beat up Miss Mongol. Ohka came to the rescue and got rid of Mystery. Shota then struck Ohka with a foreign object. Ohka recovered to put Shota in a Figure 4 Leg Lock but the referee was there to see it, leading to Mongol getting disqualified.

Before the third match began a brawl took place between the two sides. When it calmed down the newest member of Real GUTS Army appeared. It was Tetsuhiro Kuroda! He defeated Yumehito Imanari but at least this match was fought fair and square with respect shown from both wrestlers. In fact when the match was over Imanari wouldn’t stop talking about how much of a Kuroda fan he is. He loved all his matches in FMW, thought it was cool when he joined ZEN and even liked his work in HUSTLE. Kuroda apologised to the GUTS Army and sent them off because he has no reason to feud with Ganpro. Imanari then asked if he could get permission to use the Tetsu-chan Cutter and call his version the Yume-chan Cutter. He can use it to beat GUTS Army tomorrow. Kuroda gave him his blessing.

The show began with Ganbare☆The☆Shooter entering the ring. He unmasked himself to reveal it was Katsumura all along.

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Fame Asser (6:00).
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI defeated Rika Tatsumi & Hikari Noa when Aino pinned Noa with a Reverse DDT (11:02).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Unagi Himawari with the Tear Drop (7:42).
4. Natsumi Maki defeated Raku with the Backlash (7:30).
5. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Girl Splash (7:46).
6. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi when Sakisama pinned Maiumi with the Academy Award (11:36).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Maki Itoh defeated Mizuki, Yuna Manase & Mina Shirakawa when Nakajima pinned Shirakawa with the Diving Senton (15:27).

Mizuki’s team thought they had the upper hand when Yuna Manase tossed Mizuki from the apron onto a bunch of the wrestlers outside the ring. However when the action whittled down to Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa, Nakajima got the win. Mizuki said the match was only a prelude and she had to focus on two future opponents. Maki Itoh said there is nothing wrong with her desire to beat Mizuki even if Mizuki gets distracted. She wants to be in the leading role so in two week’s time at Korakuen Hall Mizuki better be ready for her. Nakajima admitted Mizuki is getting stronger but not as strong as her. When they face off in Osaka next month Nakajima says she will crush Mizuki!

Misao did enough damage to Miyu Yamashita with her Jumping Knee Strike that Miu Watanabe tended to Yamashita after the match. Sakisama told Yamashita that she is at her limit. No matter what she will do, the result will always be the same. Yamashita said she decides when she is at her limit. Misao then pointed out that she won the match so it is unthinkable that Yamashita should be feeling this confident about her abilities. Sakisama calmed Misao down and said only the strong have the right to speak so she doesn’t have to listen to Yamashita.

Raku refused to shake Natsumi Maki’s hand after their match.

Yuki Aino got one over on Hikari Noa as they prepare for their Korakuen singles match. She countered Noa’s Uranage into a Reverse DDT for the victory. Noa said she has not time to be upset and aims to win at Korakuen. Aino believes there is not much of a gap between her and Noa even though she is the senior wrestler. By winning the match with YUMI this proves to her that the seniority pecking order is not that definitive.

The opening match was between two women who both went to Toyo University. Mahiro Kiryu went to the Itakura Campus while Yuki Kamifuku went to the Hakusan Campus. They argued over which campus was better while they wrestled. Kamifuku yelled “Goodbye Itakura Campus!” when she hit the match ending Fame Asser for the win.

6. Hiroshima Specialty! Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Yoshimura with La Mistica Cross Facelock (15:29).

The DAMNATION wrestlers threw out insults at their opponents after the main event. Daisuke Sasaki continued calling himself Kazusada Higuchi’s dad because he slept with Higuchi’s “bitch mom” back when Sasaki was three years old. Meanwhile Tetsuya Endo tried to provoke HARASHIMA by telling him to stop getting angry. Endo then blew off the interaction by telling Sasaki he doesn’t have feelings of any kind for HARASHIMA.

Yukio Sakaguchi regained the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Yuki Ueno. Sakaguchi said that he is not getting closer to the belt. Instead it is the belt coming closer to him. Ueno attempted to ambush Sakaguchi at the end of the show but failed to win back the title.

Danshoku Dieno declared that the hero of Hiroshima has come back to wrestle in his hometown for the first time in a year and two months. He promised not to lose because a defeat for Dieno is also a defeat for Hiroshima. He asked his opponents if they could do a Three Arrows match. It is a 3 Way Match where only two wrestlers are allowed in the ring. The third wrestler has to wait on the apron and either tag in or wait until one of his opponents leaves the ring. Akito and Antonio Honda agreed to the rules then knocked Dieno out of the ring to start the match. The match ended when Akito took Dieno’s Lip Lock, then Honda rolled Dieno into a pin and used the ropes for leverage.

Kazuki Hirata successfully hitchhiked from Tokyo all the way to Hiroshima in time to wrestle on the show. In fact he was the first to arrive at the venue because DDT’s company bus got held up in traffic earlier in the day (the show started late as a result). Hirata ended up losing the match for his team but still received praise from the others for his hitchhiking achievement.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the referee for some of the matches.
