GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Harutoki
2. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs HARUKAZE & YuuRI
3. Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Tsuyoshi Okada Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Shota Kawakami & Hiroaki Moriya
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Naoki Tanizaki & Kohei Kinoshita
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Hartley Jackson

Keisuke Ishii has mindset of a challenger going into next weekend’s show even though he is the defending Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. All of his favorite wrestlers growing up beat strong foreign opponents so he would like to do the same. However Hartley Jackson’s stock in Japan has been rising lately with appearances in New Japan, All Japan and GLEAT. If Ishii can beat him then he will tie the record for most SOG Title defences.

Things are a little different for Mizuki Watase. He sees Ishii as a fortress that protects Ganbare☆Pro. Watase & Shigehire Irie however see themselves as an attacking force that invades other fortresses. That’s why he is excited for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles defence against the Osaka team of Naoki Tanizaki & Kohei Kinoshita. It will be in a GanPro ring but it will also be in Osaka so who truly has the homefield advantage?
