5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Hartley Jackson defeated Yumehito Imanari (c) with the Jumping Piledriver (20:28).
*Yumehito Imanari fails in V3. Hartley Jackson becomes the 3rd Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

Today’s show was meant to be the beginning of Ganbare☆Pro’s new global strategy. Yumehito Imanari was going to beat Hartley Jackson and bring the company one step further out of Japan. Instead the promotion’s whole main event scene was flipped on its head. Jackson not only took Imanari’s best shot but fired back with his own and pinned him with the Jumping Piledriver. That means he is now the Spirit Of Ganbare Champion! Jackson gave Imanari credit, telling the fans he was feeling in the worst condition of his life after the match. But he was able to win the championship in this condition so where is his victory beer? Jackson then declared there is no man in GanPro that can beat him.

Suddenly Yuna Manase got into the ring and stood before Jackson. She asked him if she remembers her? Last year she entered the ZERO1 Furinkazan Tag Team Tournament with Imanari and lost to Jackson’s team in the 1st Round. She isn’t going to let Jackson come here and extinguish the flames of GanPro because he doesn’t understand the meaning of Ganbare! She challenges him for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title! Jackson didn’t take her seriously because he beat her into oblivion before. He warns he will beat her again so hard that fans in the front row will be shocked to death. Manase won’t change her mind. She told Jackson in English “The next Spirit Of Ganbare Champion’s name is Yuna Manase!” The title match will happen on 2nd October.

The use of Lego in the Hardcore Mixed Tag Match brought back mixed emotions for Shigehiro Irie. He never had friends in primary school so he played with Lego all the time instead. He still has them in his parent’s house. Akane Fujita suggested he should bring them for the next Hardcore Match. He won’t allow them to be used as weapons because they mean so much to him. Irie praised Mizuki Watase for always fighting with the spirit of Ganbare on his back. Nothing would make him happier than to see Watase reach to the top of GanPro by working hard. The match was only the second time HARUKAZE did hardcore wrestling and she is learning the more she fights this way the more she likes it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22” Results

September 3, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 03/09/2022
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
165 Fans

1. Yuki Aino defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Venus DDT (9:27).
2. Rika Tasumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Tatsumi pinned Neko with the Twist Of Fate (15:10).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Shoko Nakajima & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Endo after the Enryo (13:34).
4. “Sour Sweet And Citric Acid” 2 Count Fall Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Hyper Misao with the Shiden Kai (10:03).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Raku pinned Harajuku with the Doctor Yellow (16:27).

Today’s result is the first time Raku has ever directly won a match in the main event! She was able to pin Pom Harajuku with the Doctor Yellow after 121000000 dealt with The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Raku admitted she was scared of MagiRabi but Maki Itoh told her they are all pro wrestlers. Raku told Itoh & Miyu Yamashita that she thinks of them like an express train while she likes to take it easy stopping one station at a time. Today though she feels like a special express train and will do her best to win more.

The 2 Count Fall match had an extra rule where you had to drink a glass of concentrated lemon juice after every one count or rope break. Hyper Misao came up with the idea and Nao Kakuta agreed to the stipulation because they come from the same generation of pro wrestling. They have no previous history together but both share the same bitter experiences in singles matches. Kakuta looks forward to having more crazy meetings with Misao in the future.

Toyo Mates have a new tag team finisher ready to use. The Enryo involves Mahiro Kiryu bridging out the victim for Yuki Kamifuku to hit the Famouser on. It is named after Enryo Inoue, the founder of Toyo University. They are challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles tomorrow so Kiryu is now in Full Power Mahiro Mode! Kamifuku said she wants to win the championships tomorrow so she and Kiryu can visit Toyo University and give advice to students who are unsure about what to do with their lives after they graduate.
