*V1 for YuuRI.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the latest Ganbare☆Joshi show was an Ice Ribbon event in disguise. The main event saw YuuRI successfully defend the ICEx∞ Title for the first time by beating Ami Manase. The masked opponent tried to use her sister Yuna Manase’s finisher, the Suzuki Dynamic but YuuRI countered it with a roll up. She then kicked out of a Lariat and built up momentum to pin Manase with the Swanton Bomb.

After the match Ibuki Hoshi entered the ring and declared she is going to win the ICEx∞ Title by the end of the year in order to become the new face of Ice Ribbon. She is happy to see YuuRI do her part as champion to get Ice Ribbon more attention but Hoshi would rather see her be the ace of her own promotion instead. YuuRI disagreed, saying she intends to become Ice Ribbon’s superhero as well as GanJo’s. She accepted the challenge and the two agreed to have their title match at Ice Ribbon’s next Korakuen Hall show on 26th August.

Sumire Natsu & Riara got to have a little bit of fun together when they teamed up for the first time. They messed with Maya Yukihi by pouring champagne over her head, tying her up in the Paradise Lock and posing over her. But Alex Lee took out Natsu with a Super Kick and Yukihi pulled Riara into the White Out to earn a submission victory.

In a match that Yoshiko Hasegawa was looking forward to, she lost to Sayaka Unagi. Afterwards Hasegawa admitted she is now firmly in the No. 2 position when it comes to GanPro so her goal now is to fight and become No. 1! Unagi encouraged her, saying that she too hasn’t been able to win her important matches even one time. It does not matter if you are strong or weak as long as you fight for your life with everything you have. That’s why Unagi has made her own goal of beating the likes of Minoru Suzuki, Atsushi Onita and Ken Ohka! Then once she’s done with that she will go find Sakura Hirota and have a match with her.

Since Match #2 was an Ice Ribbon offer match, it was held under their ruleset. That means no countouts and double team moves are permitted regularly when called out beforehand.

Looks like Banny Oikawa isn’t ready to be called up to Ganbare☆Pro just yet. Miyako Matsumoto defeated her in the opening match.

Yuna Manase announced that the middle show for GanPro September tripleshot in Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR will be the first Ganbare☆Meeting Business Trip. Instead of matches the middle show will feature a talk show held by Manase, YuuRI & Riara. Then HARUKAZE will hold a life counseling session for any wrestlers on the roster looking for advice. Finally Isami Kodaka and Shinichiro Tominaga will be part of a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match taking place later on the third and final show of the day.
