At the end of the show Keisuke Ishii was given the microphone to give out a closing speech. Yumehito Imanari interrupted him and challenged Ishii for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title on 27th December. Shuichiro Katsumura then got involved because he wants to be the next contender instead of Imanari. Michiyoshi Mishima was put on the spot to make a decision and after listening to the calls from fans as well as all the wrestlers he booked an impromptu No. 1 Contender match to take place immediately!
Imanari dodged a Moonsault from Katsumura and pinned him with the Lou Thesz Press to win the match and get the next title shot. He thanked Katsumura after the match for his behind the scenes work with Ganbare☆Pro especially when he is surrounded by people like himself who make unreasonable demands. He loves Ishii but has been beaten down by him so many times. In order to prove everything he has built in GanPro he needs to beat Ishii and take the title from him! He also identified Ishii’s father in the audience. Ishii’s father is a fan of Imanari and always cheers for him. So even though they get along, Imanari warns him that he will win the championship from his son!
Ken Ohka missed another chance to get a big championship win in his own company. He came close to pinning Mizuki Watase with the Flame Spear but Watase kicked out at the 2.99 count. He also ended up getting injured by dislocating his elbow during the match. Then when Shuji Ishikawa was busy fighting Shigehiro Irie outside the ring, Watase took over and pinned Ohka after a big Headbutt. Watase said afterward that Ohka cannot shine without having Danshoku Dieno & Muscle Sakai there to back him up. He wants Ohka to continue leading GanPro but he also wishes Ohka would have more trust in the rest of the GanPro family. Meanwhile Irie is worried he won’t be defending the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles again for the rest of the year because nobody came out to challenge them. Watase wants to spread the word out that they will defend the titles against anybody no matter what kind of wrestling they represent.
Kouki Iwasaki received more than just a bouquet for his 10th Anniversary Match. Katsumura also gave him a gift of diapers to celebrate the recent birth of Iwasaki’s second child. Iwasaki thanked everyone involved in the match as well as GanPro’s fans and management. He’s going to work harder than ever for his family and will look forward to his 15th and 20th anniversaries. He also said backstage that simply wrestling in GanPro is meaningless so if he comes back here next year he wants to fight for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title.
The FREEDOMS rivalry between F-SWAG and Munetatsu Nakamura led to Yuya Susumu coming over today for a match with Nakamura. The reigning King Of FREEDOM World Junior Heavyweight Champion won the match and flaunted his belt in front of Katsumura afterwards. He also tried to shake Nakamura’s hand after the match but was rejected. Nakamura has made it his goal to win that title from Susumu whether it happens in GanPro or in FREEDOMS.
