3. Ganpro & GanJo Special Mixed Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Asuka when Katsumura submitted Tominaga with a Cross Armbreaker (12:29).
4. Ganpro Vs TTT Full Battle: Ken Ohka defeated Guts Ishijima with the Fire Spear (7:41).
5. Ganpro Vs Pro Wrestling BASARA Full Battle: Kouki Iwasaki & Washi Sakurai defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Tetsuo Usui when Iwasaki submitted Usui with a Texas Cloverleaf (12:56).
6. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Yumehito Imanari by TKO with the Double Arm Neck Lock (22:48).
*V5 for Keisuke Ishii.

A never say die attitude from Yumehito Imanari led to him having the match of his life. After a hard fight for over 20 minutes, Keisuke Ishii gave Imanari the Tiger Driver. Imanari didn’t respond so the referee began a 10 count. Imanari was able to get back to his feet on time but he couldn’t defend himself against Ishii’s next attacks. When the Double Arm Neck Lock was applied, Imanari was motionless and the match was called. Ishii has achieved the 5th defence of his current Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title reign. He gave Imanari credit and called him a wonderful pro wrestler.

Kouki Iwasaki came out to challenge Ishii next. He said Ishii always wins and that has made Ganbare☆Wrestling really boring. They are usually a tag team but Iwasaki wants to win the title from Ishii and stand in the middle of the ring as a symbol of Ganpro’s strength! Ishii reached out for a handshake but found himself ducking a High Kick from Iwasaki! Iwasaki left the ring smiling.

Washi Sakurai and Ryuichi Sekine had to be pulled apart after Match #5. They kept trying to attack each other even after Iwasaki had submitted Tetsuo Usui.

The feud between Ganpro and what’s left of the Real GUTS Army can be put to rest. Ken Ohka defeated Guts Ishijima in a clean and decisive manner.

Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi are continuing to dress up in THE HALFEE costumes and perform a song for their entrance. Asuka hit a big Moonsault onto them out of the ring. But back in the ring Katsumura caught Shinichiro Tominaga in a Cross Armbreaker. Tominaga tried to fight out of it until Haruhi landed a Double Stomp on him. Katsumura then tightened the Armbreaker until Tominaga gave up.

Shota disguised himself as Kuishinbo Kamen by wearing a similar looking mask. However he also wore a grey tracksuit instead of a costume similar to Kamen’s. After a collision with the Daisuke Kiso, Shota unmasked the real Kamen and threw the mask to HARUKAZE. Shota acted like he was also unmasked, despite still wearing a mask. When Kiso got back up he saw HARUKAZE holding the mask and disqualified her, rewarding the match to both of her opponents. HARUKAZE sat down in a chair to protest the result but the two Kamens lifted the chair out of the room with her still sitting on it.

The visiting E10 was described as “Now on honeymoon” during his introduction. Unfortunately he lost his match to Shin Suzuki so let’s hope the wife wasn’t around to see that.

At the start of the show Asuka announced she will be regularly wrestling in Ganpro starting from today.

6. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & MAO defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata when Brookes pinned Katsumata with the Praying Mantis Bomb (12:14).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine when Yoshimura pinned Sasadango with a Lariat (19:14).
*V3 for Nautilus.

There was havoc caused in the KO-D Tag Team Title match when the referees kept getting wiped out. Yukinori Matsui got knocked away several times forcing Tomomitsu Matsunaga to come in as a substitute. He got knocked down as well so no referee was around to count any pins. Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine called in their secret weapon. It was the third referee DJ Nira! He was on their side and tried to win them the Tag Titles. Matsui recovered and counted a pin for Nautilus but Nira stopped him with an Elbow Drop. Matsui gave Nira a Lariat and took back control of the match. The challengers got rid of Yuki Ueno and gave Naomi Yoshimura a double team Danshoku Driver for a nearfall. Sasadango pulled off his mask in frustration and went in for the kill. But Yoshimura overpowered him and hit a Lariat for the three count.

After the match Ueno said that the last time DDT was supposed to be in Nagoya he, Yoshimura & HARASHIMA were meant to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. A typhoon postponed the show so that match never happened. Today Ueno & Yoshimura were able to give Nagoya a tag title match in a different form. That makes them glad. Ueno said they will next defend the titles against The Moonlight Express. However Hisaya Imabayashi has not decided on the date for that match yet.

Makoto Oishi complained that the Nagoya team were too noisy making their introductions so he and Toru Owashi taped Hiroaki Ura’s mouth shut. Intelligence Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 got revenge by whispering the word “Divorce” into Oishi’s ear at every opportunity to drive him mad. He also targeted Owashi’s nipples. HARASHIMA and Kengo Takai were the only ones acting normally. They simply told each other “long time no see” before they wrestled.

The Okibariyasu trial is now at 2 wins and 2 losses after Saki Akai defeated Miranda Gordy. Akai said she wants to win her remaining three matches so she and Eruption can make DDT even bigger.

Tokyo Seijo Hall
176 Fans

6. Super Ultra Quiz Match: Natsumi Maki (2) defeated Hyper Misao (1) (4:27).
6a. Natsumi Maki (1) defeated Hyper Misao (0) with the Correct Answer (0:55).
6b. Hyper Misao (1) defeated Natsumi Maki (1) with the Correct Answer (2:23).
6c. Natsumi Maki (2) defeated Hyper Misao (1) with the Correct Answer (4:27).
7. Main Event Prospect 2020 Special Tag Match: Hikari Noa & Yuki Aino defeated Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi when Aino pinned Maiumi with the Venus DDT (10:43).

The headline match today was an opportunity to find the next generation of Tokyo Joshi Pro main eventers. You can argue if Yuki Aino is part of the next generation or not but Hikari Noa was happy to team with her and come out the victors. Noa even has a team name for them. They are Death Venus Mania! Aino said in her post-match interview that she is inspired by the women that came after the original TJPW generation. Noa would like to have a singles match with Aino again. They already fought in Korakuen Hall so this time she wants it to happen in Sumo Hall!

The match between Hyper Misao and Natsumi Maki turned into a Super Ultra Quiz. This was Misao’s idea because she thinks Maki does not have the brains to beat Miyu Yamashita. Whenever a wrestler got a two count pin or made their opponent submit they were asked a trivia question. The first wrestler to get two questions right won the match. In the first minute of the match, Maki pinned Misao and was asked “What is 3 X 4?” She correctly answered 12. The next question had both women stumped. “Where does Friday come before Thursday?” Misao said outer space but that was wrong. Maki then got a question asking her to finish the proverb “Time is…?” She said early, which was wrong. Maki was then asked “What is 8 X 6?” She said 42. Also wrong. Misao pinned Maki and correctly answered 48 to tie the game. The last question was to name the four prefectures of Shikoku. Maki got the right answer: Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi and Tokushima! Maki was declared the winner.

Maki Itoh’s use of her head was effective today. She used a Headbutt to block Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack early in the match then later pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Flying Big Head.

Do you know what stops Yamashita’s kick heavy offence? It’s Pom Harajuku’s shin kicks! Her plan to kick the shins worked until Yamashita propped herself up on the ring ropes to keep her feet off the canvas. Yamashita was eventually able to knee Harajuku in the gut before pinning her with the Attitude Adjustment.
