The last Ganbare☆Pro show of today kept Mizuki Watase and Shinichiro Tominaga apart in different matches, although they did interact in a contract signing at the start of the show. The main event instead focused on Watase fighting against the rookie Munetatsu Nakamura. Watase encouraged his opponent to keep firing Elbow Strikes at him before stopping him with a Dropkick to the face. Nakamura kicked out of that but was then pinned with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Watase praised Nakamura after the match, telling him he’s happy to see such a gutsy newcomer in Ganpro.
The return of Lariat Pro Wrestling was delayed when both teams decided to do a match between “All Pro” and “New Pro” tributes. Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga were on the “All Pro” side while the “New Pro” team was made up of Ken Ohka & Shota. Everyone changed their movesets to the theme songs of famous wrestlers that played throughout the match. Things got out of hand and the fighting made its way out of the ring, causing the match to end in a Double Countout. A rematch immediately happened, this time under the Lariat Pro Wrestling brand. Everyone threw Lariats at each other until all four of them were knocked out, resulting in another draw.
The 3 Way Match turned into a scheduling nightmare because none of the original participants were around to take part. Hong Kong International Policeman was missing so Choun-Shiryu appeared in his place. Yoshiko Hasegawa was gone so Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman took her place. Then it turned out YuuRI wasn’t there either so Hong Kong International Policewoman had to substitute for her. The two Policewomen agreed to fight Shiryu two on one. He got annoyed by that and left the match halfway through. Then all of a sudden Hong Kong International Policeman finally showed up and started planting evidence on people to “catch” them red handed. He allegedly found a bag of pills in Daisuke Kiso’s pocket and made the referee overlook any of his cheating in return for letting him off the hook. The two Policewomen had enough though and double teamed the corrupt cop, pinning him together while Kiso made a fast three count. Hong Kong International Policeman was arrested after the match and dragged out of the venue in handcuffs.
The show began with a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Tominaga admitted that Watase embodies the spirit of Ganpro more than anyone else in the promotion, which means he works harder than everybody. Tominaga cannot match that but he would have never challenged Watase if he wasn’t confident he could beat him. Watase is nursing an injured arm but will fight through the pain. He heard Daisuke Kiso will be the referee so he told him not to stop the match if his arm injury gets worse. Even if he suffers a broken arm, Watase will still fight.
