3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa when Urano pinned Takizawa after the Zudon from Tsukamoto (16:06).
4. Sakigake!! Iron Family Tag Match To Reconfirm Their Bonds: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT ended in a No Contest (5:29).
4a. 4 Way Match: FUMA defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yusuke Kubo and SAGAT when FUMA pinned SAGAT with the Heavy Metal Anthem (8:40).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryuichi Sekine (c) defeated Isami Kodaka by Knockout with a Right High Kick (26:04).
*V1 for Ryuichi Sekine.

It’s only his first defence but Ryuichi Sekine has removed arguably the biggest threat of his Union MAX Title reign by beating Isami Kodaka with a dangerously close finish. After a tense 25 minutes of fighting, both men were reduced to throwing every kick they could at each other. Sekine and Kodaka were both at their limit and struggling to stand to the point where they were at risk of being counted out. After another back and forth both men were laid out with Sekine getting the last strike with a Right High Kick. Sekine was barely able to get up by the count of 9 but Kodaka was down and out. Sekine thanked Kodaka for the match but admitted he does not feel like he exceeded him today. Beating him once isn’t enough to achieve that. BASARA will be going independent soon so Sekine will follow Kodaka into independence! He also said he will defend the MAX Title against any other wrestler on the BASARA roster.

Any attempt to bring harmony among The Iron Family went right out the window with their tag match. The Hiroshi du Soleil team pushed each other during their entrance while the IRON PRIEST team came out separately despite using the same song. The dissension within both teams got worse to the point where the tag team match looked more like a 4 Way Match. The match was called off when the referee Yuya Okada got knocked out during the chaos. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi got the match to restart but this time as a 4 Way. When FUMA won, Hiroshi began singing “Imagine” which reduced FUMA to tears. FUMA said he never thought Hiroshi was into metal or rock music but here he is singing a song from the source of heavy metal… The Beatles!(?) Yusuke Kubo and SAGAT joined in the hug and all four forgave each other. The bonds of The Iron Family have been healed!

The main event of “FUMA FEST VOL.3” is FUMA Vs TAJIRI in a Hardcore Match. The show will take place on 16th November.

7. Burn, The Country Of Fire! Fight, DDT! Kumamoto Specialty Special 4 Way Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated HARASHIMA, Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda when Takeshita pinned Honda with the Fable (18:14).

The heavyweight Kodai Nozaki threw his weight around in Match #5. He and Kazusada Higuchi combined their weight and dropped onto Yuki Ueno with a stacked Body Press. Naomi Yoshimura had the strength to Back Drop Nozaki but he wasn’t able to save his partner from Higuchi’s Doctor Bomb. Higuchi offered to have a match with Nozaki sometime. He was surprised to learn that Yoshimura discovered such a young and large wrestler like him in Japan.

Ueno snuck up on Yukio Sakaguchi after the show and hit him in the head with a microphone. Ueno then stole the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and was chased into the ring. Ueno rolled up Sakaguchi but only got a two count. Sakaguchi got up and sent Ueno on his way after some strikes.

Match #4 was turned into a Handicap Match simply because Kazuki Hirata noticed that Yoshihiko came out with the other team.

*GPW fails in V1. Real GUTS Army becomes the 21st GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The bad times keep on coming for Ganbare☆Wrestling in their feud with Real GUTS Army. After yesterday’s clean sweep in singles matches, today saw the GUTS Army win the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. A blind tag was the key to victory. Kenichiro Arai made contact with Shota before Shota was hit with the Chubby Knee Kick. Yumehito Imanari was confused when his pin on Shota wasn’t being counted. Arai then jumped in and Cradled Imanari for the three count.

Arai introduced himself to the audience after the match. He explained he’s been wrestling on the independent scene for almost a decade now but the DDT System never booked him until today. He thinks the DDT System is afraid of him! His comments provoked Ken Ohka into challenging him to a match on 14th September. Ohka also saw Guts Ishijima in the room and told him they can have a match too whenever Ishijima’s injury goes away.

Shuichiro Katsumura’s next challenger for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title is Mitomi Masayuki on 14/9. Katsumura’s goal as champion is to hold onto the belt long enough to defend it at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” in Sumo Hall this November.

Kouki Iwasaki ends his Big Japan challenge with a 1-1 record. He kicked away Ryuichi Kawakami’s offer of a handshake after their match.

Both HARUKAZE and Cherry were dressed in summer clothing for their match. HARUKAZE wore a yukata while Cherry wrestled in a swimsuit. Cherry was armed with a floating ring and didn’t hesitate to use it.

Shinichiro Tominaga appeared for the first time in a long time. He is currently recovering from a an ACL injury. He announced his return to the ring is on track to happen in September.

1. East Japan Vs West Japan Full War!: Takeshi Okada & Ryutaro Watanabe defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shuhei Washida when Okada submitted Washida with a Chickenwing Armlock (7:20).
2. Iwasaki Vs BJW All Out Match First Round: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Akira Hyodo with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:53).
3. Ganpro Army Vs Real GUTS Army: Masked Mystery defeated Ken Ohka with the Mystery Magic (4:08).
4. Ganpro Army Vs Real GUTS Army: Shota defeated Miss Mongol by Disqualification when Ken Ohka interfered (6:54).
5. Ganpro Army Vs Real GUTS Army: Tetsuhiro Kuroda defeated Yumehito Imanari with a Lariat (12:18).
6. Jinjiryu! Ganjo Vs Actwres girl’Z All Round Fight Round 3: Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE defeated Miyuki Takase & Ayumi Hayashi when HARUKAZE submitted Hayashi with the Haru Ichiban (11:18).
7. A Phantom Dream! Single Match Of Fate!: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

To show how much today’s main event meant to Minoru Fujita, he wore his old gear going back to when he was a regular in Ganbare☆Wrestling. He used chairs to his advantage early on. The match also meant a lot to Shuichiro Katsumura and his relationship with Ganpro. As the match entered its final minutes, Katsumura started using the finishing moves of other Ganpro wrestlers like the Chubby Knee Kick, the Double Arm DDT, the Sharpshooter, the Fisherman Suplex and the Fire Spear. In the final minute Fujita defended himself to prevent Katsumura from locking in a Torso Sleeper Hold. He was about to get trapped in a Cross Armbreaker when the time expired and the bell rang.

After the match Fujita announced he is graduating from Ganpro. He regrets not asking for today’s match to be for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. He also joked that since he is with BASARA he won’t lose to Ganpro. To him, Katsumura is no longer his rival. He is his friend and the next time they wrestle it will be even better. Katsumura told him that Ganpro will always wait for their graduates to come back. There were a few times during this conversation when Yumehito Imanari cut in to sing a graduation song for Fujita.

The Real GUTS Army completely ran through Ganpro in their three match series. Masked Mystery ambushed Ken Ohka during his ring introduction and snuck away with the victory thanks to his Mystery Magic cradle. In the second match Mystery returned to help Shota beat up Miss Mongol. Ohka came to the rescue and got rid of Mystery. Shota then struck Ohka with a foreign object. Ohka recovered to put Shota in a Figure 4 Leg Lock but the referee was there to see it, leading to Mongol getting disqualified.

Before the third match began a brawl took place between the two sides. When it calmed down the newest member of Real GUTS Army appeared. It was Tetsuhiro Kuroda! He defeated Yumehito Imanari but at least this match was fought fair and square with respect shown from both wrestlers. In fact when the match was over Imanari wouldn’t stop talking about how much of a Kuroda fan he is. He loved all his matches in FMW, thought it was cool when he joined ZEN and even liked his work in HUSTLE. Kuroda apologised to the GUTS Army and sent them off because he has no reason to feud with Ganpro. Imanari then asked if he could get permission to use the Tetsu-chan Cutter and call his version the Yume-chan Cutter. He can use it to beat GUTS Army tomorrow. Kuroda gave him his blessing.

The show began with Ganbare☆The☆Shooter entering the ring. He unmasked himself to reveal it was Katsumura all along.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2019 SUMMER ~SUNSHINE CARNIVAL~”, 10/08/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
260 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Fame Asser (6:00).
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI defeated Rika Tatsumi & Hikari Noa when Aino pinned Noa with a Reverse DDT (11:02).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Unagi Himawari with the Tear Drop (7:42).
4. Natsumi Maki defeated Raku with the Backlash (7:30).
5. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Girl Splash (7:46).
6. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi when Sakisama pinned Maiumi with the Academy Award (11:36).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Maki Itoh defeated Mizuki, Yuna Manase & Mina Shirakawa when Nakajima pinned Shirakawa with the Diving Senton (15:27).

Mizuki’s team thought they had the upper hand when Yuna Manase tossed Mizuki from the apron onto a bunch of the wrestlers outside the ring. However when the action whittled down to Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa, Nakajima got the win. Mizuki said the match was only a prelude and she had to focus on two future opponents. Maki Itoh said there is nothing wrong with her desire to beat Mizuki even if Mizuki gets distracted. She wants to be in the leading role so in two week’s time at Korakuen Hall Mizuki better be ready for her. Nakajima admitted Mizuki is getting stronger but not as strong as her. When they face off in Osaka next month Nakajima says she will crush Mizuki!

Misao did enough damage to Miyu Yamashita with her Jumping Knee Strike that Miu Watanabe tended to Yamashita after the match. Sakisama told Yamashita that she is at her limit. No matter what she will do, the result will always be the same. Yamashita said she decides when she is at her limit. Misao then pointed out that she won the match so it is unthinkable that Yamashita should be feeling this confident about her abilities. Sakisama calmed Misao down and said only the strong have the right to speak so she doesn’t have to listen to Yamashita.

Raku refused to shake Natsumi Maki’s hand after their match.

Yuki Aino got one over on Hikari Noa as they prepare for their Korakuen singles match. She countered Noa’s Uranage into a Reverse DDT for the victory. Noa said she has not time to be upset and aims to win at Korakuen. Aino believes there is not much of a gap between her and Noa even though she is the senior wrestler. By winning the match with YUMI this proves to her that the seniority pecking order is not that definitive.

The opening match was between two women who both went to Toyo University. Mahiro Kiryu went to the Itakura Campus while Yuki Kamifuku went to the Hakusan Campus. They argued over which campus was better while they wrestled. Kamifuku yelled “Goodbye Itakura Campus!” when she hit the match ending Fame Asser for the win.

4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuki Ueno (c) with an Arm Trapped Triangle Choke (9:50).
*Yukio Sakaguchi becomes the 1,399th champion.
5. Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata defeated Makoto Oishi & Masahiro Takanashi when Katsumata pinned Oishi with the ¡Hasta la vista! (8:09).
6. Hiroshima Specialty! Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Yoshimura with La Mistica Cross Facelock (15:29).

The DAMNATION wrestlers threw out insults at their opponents after the main event. Daisuke Sasaki continued calling himself Kazusada Higuchi’s dad because he slept with Higuchi’s “bitch mom” back when Sasaki was three years old. Meanwhile Tetsuya Endo tried to provoke HARASHIMA by telling him to stop getting angry. Endo then blew off the interaction by telling Sasaki he doesn’t have feelings of any kind for HARASHIMA.

Yukio Sakaguchi regained the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Yuki Ueno. Sakaguchi said that he is not getting closer to the belt. Instead it is the belt coming closer to him. Ueno attempted to ambush Sakaguchi at the end of the show but failed to win back the title.

Danshoku Dieno declared that the hero of Hiroshima has come back to wrestle in his hometown for the first time in a year and two months. He promised not to lose because a defeat for Dieno is also a defeat for Hiroshima. He asked his opponents if they could do a Three Arrows match. It is a 3 Way Match where only two wrestlers are allowed in the ring. The third wrestler has to wait on the apron and either tag in or wait until one of his opponents leaves the ring. Akito and Antonio Honda agreed to the rules then knocked Dieno out of the ring to start the match. The match ended when Akito took Dieno’s Lip Lock, then Honda rolled Dieno into a pin and used the ropes for leverage.

Kazuki Hirata successfully hitchhiked from Tokyo all the way to Hiroshima in time to wrestle on the show. In fact he was the first to arrive at the venue because DDT’s company bus got held up in traffic earlier in the day (the show started late as a result). Hirata ended up losing the match for his team but still received praise from the others for his hitchhiking achievement.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the referee for some of the matches.

3. Keiko Takeshita International Friendly Match – Keiko Beyond The Heart: Yumehito Imanari Vs Konosuke Takeshita
4. Pocchaminator Mana Connor Chronicles: Mana Connor (Yuna Manase) Vs Pocchaminator (P-800)

Yumehito Imanari is promising an “Innovative Invention Experiment” on the show called πMAX Digital Theater. Fans in attendance will be wearing special glasses to watch an extra large screen that is so immersive you will feel like you are inside a womb again. He is using this technology to screen one of Yuna Manase’s DVDs. Those who see it will feel like they are being wrapped around in Manase’s motherhood.

Manase doesn’t get what Imanari is trying to do, she is only focusing on her match. And er… at least I think it is a match. The set up is the main event features the Pocchaminator, a cyborg from the year 2050 that has traveled back in time to kill people who have a BMI value above a certain level on behalf of major advertising agencies. The resistance is led by one person. Not Yuna Manase but Mana Connor! If she cannot stop the P-800 then there is no future for Pocchari Joshi Pro!

Konosuke Takeshita’s mother Keiko is a special ambassador on the show. She will oversee the match between Imanari and her son. Imanari hopes that Keiko will show as much love for him as she does for her own son.

I thought this show was just supposed to be a Trainspotting parody…
