1. GanPro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: Shota & HARUKAZE defeated Soma Takao & YuuRI when HARUKAZE submitted YuuRI with a School Boy (12:44).
2. Marika Kobashi defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Front Neck Lock (8:12).
3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs The 37KAMIINA: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura when Ueno pinned Nakamura with a Frog Splash (14:50).
4. Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Yumehito Imanari defeated Minoru Fujita & Takahiro Katori when Imanari pinned Katori with the Lariat (16:12).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Ken Ohka & Hartley Jackson defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Shinichiro Tominaga & Tyson Maeguchi when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Flame Spear (15:17).

Ten years ago this month Ganbare☆Pro held its launch event so it was only fitting to see the man behind it all Ken Ohka pick up the win in the main event. When he and Yumehito Imanari started the promotion it was nothing more than a fly in the ointment. Now it has grown into having its own sizeable roster and has expanded outside of Tokyo to be able to run shows in Osaka. Ohka is happier than he ever could have imagined ten years ago!

Tatsuhito Takaiwa is feeling confident about his tag team with Imanari. After their win today he said there’s no way they can be beaten by two wrestlers randomly teaming together. Imanari thinks they are not just being loud for the sake of it. They want to get fans excited with their feelings too. They are doing their best just like Shinjiro Otani is.

A giant tire was rolled into ringside by MAO during Match #3. He tried to run over Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura with it but they got out of the way. Instead MAO & Yuki Ueno were able to wedge Munetatsu Nakamura into it.

8. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (15:05).

The “Love Triangle” of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku showed off the strength of their bond by winning today’s trios tournament! Aino’s use of the Venus DDT got them past the opening round. Raku’s pillow was a key item in winning the semi-final because it was used to block Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Then came the final where the spotlight was put on Pom Harajuku. Aino got rid of Shoko Nakajima with the Venus DDT, Raku used the Doctor Yellow on Hyper Misao and it all led to Harajuku pinning Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. It was the biggest win in Harajuku’s career. She promised not to cry during their victory speech but did so anyway.

Meanwhile the other team in the final called themselves Kyoraku Torimei but Misao thinks it may have been a mistake to use that name. Both Nakajima & Misao agreed it was time to disband the trio with Toribami but insist it is not Toribami’s fault. They praised her for showing guts and tenacity today but feel it is time for them to flap their wings towards their own bright futures.

The American death match wrestler Sawyer Wreck won her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut against Moka Miyamoto by throwing and slamming her around the ring. Backstage Wreck said she always dances with death and she will show her love of violence in the Lighttube Death Match against Hikari Noa on Monday. Wreck also took part in the Princess Of Princess Title contract signing with Mizuki that was held after the show. She asked if lighttubes would also be allowed in that match too? Mizuki said she will do her best because she thinks Wreck is underestimating her.

Tatsumi and Suzume also took part in the signing ceremony for their International Princess Title match. Suzume spoke about how much she admires Tatsumi. It was enough to make her become a pro wrestler without any experience in martial arts or entertainment. Tatsumi wants to defend her title 100 times. She is not taking this reign for granted so there is no room for her to make any mistakes again. She also thinks Suzume was knocking on the forbidden gate when she choked her in their last match together. Suzume does not believe she is stronger than Tatsumi but she proved in last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup she can beat her.

6. Yuji Hino & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yuki Ishida when Hino submitted Ishida with the King Kong Sleeper (13:23).
7. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku when MAO pinned Koroki with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II (21:26).

Some of the main event spent time outside the ring where Tetsuya Endo knocked MAO onto the others below and then did a Moonsault onto everybody. Back in the ring MAO took the victory by pinning Yuya Koroku with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II. Backstage Yuki Ueno described a title match as a clash of beliefs and convictions. There is no need for an answer, just for MAO to show what he thinks and Endo to show what he thinks. For The 37KAMIINA they are going their own way to make DDT and themselves more exciting.

Makoto Oishi promised to protect Yuji Hino from Pheromones on tomorrow’s show because it will be their last match before the KO-D Openweight Title bout next Wednesday. However Hino thinks he is taking on Yuki “Strong” Iino and believes it will be an interesting match next week. Danshoku Dieno said Iino is now ready to be champion and when he does, Yuki “Sexy” Iino will be unleashed again! Hino agrees that Iino is strong but Hino is super strong!

Today was one of mixed feelings for Shunma Katsumata. On the bright side today is the 9th Anniversary of Katsumata’s debut match. On the down side he was beaten by Jun Akiyama. The fighting between the two got intense with the both of them attacking each other with chairs outside the ring. Akiyama then sent his message loud and clear by pinning Katsumata clean with the Exploder Suplex. He called today’s a perfect result and wants to remind everyone he is going to use Toy Kojima as a weapon in the TLC Match. Katsumata knows he is going to face an even scarier version of Akiyama at that match but he will still give him a proper DDT Extreme Title bout.

Rayne Leverkusen is starting to admit she is feeling nervous for her match against Saki Akai next week because she hasn’t beaten her yet in any of their tag matches. She is hoping to give Akai a heavy metal fight and dispel the notion she is only in DDT because she has a famous uncle.
