6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Ken Ohka defeated Shota with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:24).
7. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Cradle (2:31).

After three years away the Ganbare☆Climax is back with a bang. The tournament favourite has been eliminated in Round 1! Keisuke Ishii was unexpectedly Cradled by Shinichiro Tominaga two minutes into the match and was shockingly pinned for the three count. Tominaga’s celebration was cut short when an angry Ishii gave him the Double Arm DDT after the match. It shook up Tominaga so much that he thought he lost the match when he gave the show closing speech. When he shook it off and remembered he won, he then said he is now the top candidate to win the Ganbare☆Climax. He’s going to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and draw a thick, clear line on his somewhat vague wrestling career. That way he will be proud of being a pro wrestler, be popular with office ladies and get married four times!

Shota was accompanied by Soma Takao for his opening round match against Ken Ohka. After a back and forth match, Ohka kicked out of the Gannosuke Clutch and hit Shota with the Fire Spear for a nearfall. Ohka got the win in the end with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Takao helped bring Shota to the back afterwards. He explained that she showed up to support Shota because they are “classmates” from the same generation. Ohka moves on to face Tetsuhiro Kuroda in Round 2. Ohka was once a ringside attendant for Kuroda when he wrestled in DDT. He remembers accidentally stepping on Kuroda’s glasses and breaking them. Kuroda told him not to worry and forgave him. Ever since then Ohka has seen Kuroda like a god!

Recently retired kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi is trying his hand at pro wrestling as a representative of the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He was ultimately overwhelmed by Tatsuhito Takaiwa, ending with the Death Valley Bomb. Takaiwa was pleased by Maeguchi’s performance, particularly the Dropkick he threw at him. The match was more about Takaiwa teaching Maeguchi in the ring. When Takaiwa started wrestling he learned it is about feelings, not technique because you cannot lose with feelings. He hopes to have gotten that lesson across to Maeguchi. Takaiwa moves on to the next round to fight Mizuki Watase.

Shuichiro Katsumura’s tournament got off to a good start by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. His grappling skills was too much for Morohashi to fight against and he was tangled into submission. After the match Katsumura got into a standoff with his 2nd Round opponent Kouki Iwasaki at ringside. Katsumura pushed him away and Iwasaki Headbutted him in response before things got broken up.

Iwasaki made it out of the 1st Round by beating Nobuhiro Shimatani in a DNA confrontation. Iwasaki cut down his oppoenent with High Kicks and pinned him with a Back Drop Hold. After winning the match, Iwasaki stuck around ringside to watch Katsumura Vs Morohashi which led to the post-match meeting with Katsumura.

The tournament kicked off with the last winner Yumehito Imanari winning against Baliyan Akki. He blocked the Namaste Press and scored the pin with a Lou Thesz Press. Imanari praised Akki for his performance but Akki gave him a Headbutt to take out his frustration at losing. He waited three and a half years to take part in the Ganbare☆Climax so getting eliminated in the very first match left him very upset.

The show began with an announcement that Shinjiro Otani is now the on-site director for Ganbare☆Pro! He still intends to wrestle again when his injuries are healed and had hoped to recover in time to enter the Ganbare☆Climax. Until then, this new role gives him a reason to continue working at Ganpro shows while he is out of action. His advice for the wrestlers entering the tournament is they need to be strong, passionate, hardworking and human to win. He wants the Ganbare☆Climax to cheer up everybody who sees it.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021” Results

October 24, 2021

GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
102 Fans

1. Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yuna Mizumori defeated Sayaka with the Warrior’s Return (8:07).
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Masayuki Mitomi & Jun Tonsho when Watase pinned Mitomi with the Back Drop (11:25).
3. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: Asuka defeated YuuRI with a Back Spin Kick (8:21).
4. Ganjo Special Mixed Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Ann Cham defeated Ken Ohka & Miyako Matsumoto when Ishii pinned Matsumoto with the Hidoiwaza (14:00).
5. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE (C) defeated Yuna Manase (C), Moeka Haruhi & Cherry (16:01).
5a. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Cherry by Ring Out (8:13).
5b. Yuna Manase eliminated Makoto by Ring Out (9:03).
5c. Yuu Yamagata eliminated Moeka Haruhi by Ring Out (12:10).
5d. Yuna Manase (C) eliminated Yuu Yamagata by Ring Out (13:11).
5e. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Yuna Manase (C) with a Cradle Cutback (16:01).

The Captain’s Fall Elimination match went with an extra rule that said the captains would not be revealed until they were eliminated. Cherry and Makoto were the first two eliminations. Moeka Haruhi tried to sacrifice herself by holding onto Yuu Yamagata on the apron. Yuna Manase charged into both of them but only Haruhi fell to the ground, getting eliminated in the process. However, Haruhi grabbed Yamagata again and pulled her to the floor to take her out of the match. The referee never called an end so it was concluded that the final two wrestlers Manase and HARUKAZE were the team captains. Manase gave HARUKAZE the Suzuki Dynamic but during the pinfall, HARUKAZE rolled through the momentum and pinned Manase for the 3 count out of nowhere.

HARUKAZE celebrated getting to beat Manase for the second time in a row. She said Manase has tunnel vision and needs to expand her horizons. Otherwise she will never be able to beat Yamagata. Then Yamagata got to speak. She admitted Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten more interesting than the last time she was here. But she thinks GanJo are all idiots for thinking she was going to be the team captain. This is a GanJo ring so it only makes sense for HARUKAZE to be the captain. The team left Manase and Haruhi to deal with the defeat.

Manase was certain she was going to win today but HARUKAZE beat her for the second time in a row. There was something different about her compared to when they used to team together. Maybe Manase is weak. Haruhi tried to motivate Manase and told her to stay standing no matter what. She set a goal to defeat Yuu Yamagata. Haruhi herself fought with all her might to make sure their team would win today. It wasn’t enough but Haruhi isn’t embarrassed about it. As she was saying this, Manase started losing her concentration and began to mumble about her parents and grandparents. Cherry brought Haruhi backstage to calm down, leaving Manase alone in the ring.

Suddenly Saki Akai made her entrance and stood in the ring with Manase. She came to see what Ganbare☆Joshi was all about and this is what she gets? Where is the Yuna Manase who kept standing up when Akai knocked her down over and over in DDT last month? That’s the Yuna Manase who Akai and the fans want to see. If Manase was at her most exciting chasing after Akai then Akai wants to keep an eye on her so she won’t run out of steam. Manase said the next GanJo show is happening on 7th November and she wants to team with Akai there. Akai accepted the offer. Backstage Yamagata was told the news and she replied she doesn’t know who Saki Akai is.

The start to YuuRI’s trial series saw the newcomer lose to Asuka. At first Asuka was dismissive of her opponent but it was intended to bring out the fire in her. She told YuuRI “good job” after the match but was left feeling frustrated by the whole experience. While Asuka does appreciate YuuRI showing respect to her, she still thought her effort in the ring was too amateurish. Maybe it isn’t YuuRI’s fault because Asuka wants something interesting to do in Ganbare☆Pro and hasn’t been able to find it lately. YuuRI meanwhile found out from Ken Ohka who her second trial opponent will be. She will face Maya Yukihi on 7th November.

Mizuki Watase got a big boost of encouragement by getting the win in his tag match. He & Shigehiro Irie gave Masayuki Mitomi a Double Stomp/Tombstone combo and Watase then finished him off with the Back Drop. Watase said Irie is entrusting him with everything to win the Ganbare☆Climax because Irie himself is not entering it. Today is just the beginning and Watase believes he is in the best position to win the tournament.

??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).

3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.
