ICE RIBBON “AFTER THE RAIN, RIBBON 2024”, 23/06/2024 Tokyo Korakuen Hall 1,088 Fans – No Vacancy
2. Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa defeated Totoro Satsuki, Yuna Manase & Asuka Fujitaki when Umino pinned Satsuki with a Hurricanrana (16:31).
6. ICE×∞ Title Decision Match: YuuRI defeated Hamuko Hoshi with the Swanton Bomb (21:53). *YuuRI becomes the 38th ICE×∞ Champion!
One of the places you will often find YuuRI wrestle in away from Ganbare☆Pro is Ice Ribbon. She’s been doing pretty well there too, going as far as to win the ICE×∞ Title last summer. Earlier this year the ICE×∞ Title had to be vacated when the champion Ibuki Hoshi, the person who won the belt from YuuRI, announced she was pregnant. Ice Ribbon held a league tournament to determine a new champion and the final came down to YuuRI versus Hamuko Hoshi (who just so happens to be Ibuki’s mother). YuuRI broke Hoshi down with Thrust Kicks and Buzzsaw Kicks until she could hit the Swanton Bomb. One wasn’t enough so YuuRI had to hit it again to win the tournament and become champion again. In her victory speech she declared herself the superhero of Ice Ribbon! GanPro will always be her home but she considers Ice Ribbon her second home and does not want to be considered an outsider champion this time round.
Yuna Manase also likes to spend time wrestling in Ice Ribbon. She has a tag team here with Totoro Satsuki called BIG★DEKAI!!! and they are currently the International Ribbon Tag Team Champions (YuuRI held the title last year too). They have yet to have a title defence, instead they wrestled on this show with Asuka Fujitaki losing a 6-Woman Tag Match against Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa.

Australian wrestler Mitch Ryder is coming over to GanPro to team with his fellow countryman Hartley Jackson.
Moeka Haruhi’s surgery to donate one of her kidneys has been scheduled for late June so she is able to continue wrestling for a few more weeks. That means she gets to show up at GanPro again after already saying goodbye and have a few extra matches there.

The second show of GanPro’s May tripleshot is all being put together by Yumehito Imanari. The main event celebrates his 10th anniversary with the promotion. He also decided to do a tag team match between the old generation and the new generation. The joshi match will have both Haruhi and YuuRI wrestling in “arena” branded swimsuits. The opening match will be a Rumble where everyone will enter to Imanari’s theme song “POISON ~In This World Where I Can’t Say What I Want To Say~” by Takashi Sorimachi. Every participant will also have to represent Imanari in some way so I think there is going to be several impersonations of his different gimmicks during the match.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MILON’S SECRET CASTLE ’23”, 17/06/2023 Tokyo GEN Sports Palace
1. Miyako Matsumoto & Alex Lee Vs Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi
2. Riara Vs Ancham
3. GanJo Vs JUST TAP OUT! Special Tag Match: YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Sumika Yanagawa & Misa Kagura
It’s only a little bit relevant here but JUST TAP OUT is going to changed their name in July to celebrate their 4th anniversary, shortening it down to their initials JTO. They’re keeping the logo the same though.
Riara is getting some more valuable in-ring experience, this time getting a match against Ancham.
The women of Ganbare☆Joshi do not want to deal with Miyako Matsumoto and her new partner in crime Alex Lee so a team from P.P.P. Tokyo will face them instead. PPP are fresh off of their first time in Korakuen Hall so Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi must both be feeling extra motivated to represent their company.

GANBARE☆PRO “THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 2023”, 22/04/2023 Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR 81 Fans
1. 3 Way Match: KOJIO defeated Shota and Munetatsu Nakamura when KOJIO pinned Nakamura with the World Breaker (8:26).
2. Ancham defeated YuuRI with the I Still Don’t Know The Name Of The Technique I Saw That Day (13:11).
3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku!: Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga when Fujita pinned Tominaga with the Modified Samson Clutch (14:11).
4. Mizuki Watase, Yumehito Imanari & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & Takuya Wada when Imanari pinned Maeguchi with the Lariat (18:12).
The final show of today’s tripleshot built towards the 5th May Korakuen Hall show. It was the last prelim bout between Mizuki Watase and Keisuke Ishii as well as a preview for Shuichiro Katsumura versus Takuya Wada on 6th May. The result saw Yumehito Imanari pin Tyson Maeguchi with the Lariat, a possible prediction for which team will win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Titles at Korakuen. The Lariat knocked Maeguchi so loopy he thought the title match will be happening at the Tokyo Dome! Ishii’s side lost the match but he still thinks he gained some momentum back from Watase.
The show began with Ken Ohka declaring war on Sento Minzoku! He had Shinichiro Tominaga on his team and today’s match had a special meaning for his partner. It was Tominaga’s last match as a 35 year old so he was determined to win! Unfortunately Minoru Fujita tangled him up in the Samson Clutch, giving the invading team the victory. The result left Ohka frustrated because he can never beat Isami Kodaka! He’s going to keep trying though even if it takes him into his 50s and 60s. Meanwhile Kodaka thanked Ganbare☆Pro for the warm welcome today. He genuinely thinks the promotion wants him to join them. Fujita also thinks GanPro now is very different than the GanPro he wrestled for 8 years ago.
Ancham’s submission finisher is called the I Still Don’t Know The Name Of The Technique I Saw That Day, or just simply That Technique for short. It is something she claims she came up on the spur of the moment.
The monster KOJIO was dominant in his GanPro debut, easily dismantling both Shota and Munetatsu Nakamura in the 3 Way Match.
Miyako Matsumoto entered the ring at the end of the show demanding to be added to the 2nd May Ganbare☆Joshi event. Her demand was rejected by Michiyoshi Mishima because nobody on the roster is interested in fighting her.
And here’s the second half covering everything else. Don’t know if I’ll be writing reports for the shows this weekend as soon as they happen. Might be better saving that for when I get home.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
4. Suzume Vs Juria Nagano
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Hikaru Shida & Moka Miyamoto
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Hyper Misao
The Princess Tag Team Titles match has been moved to the opening spot of the card. Yuka Sakazaki is pretty much leaving Japan for trip to America as soon as her match is done. As I write this post, AEW has not advertised her for any of their shows yet. Their much maligned habit of only booking one women’s match per TV show suggests she may not be on Dynamite or Rampage this week because both episodes are already advertising a women’s match each. It all depends on how long she will be in America for because flying her over on short notice just for an appearance on Dark or Elevation will be weird. It’s not like Hikaru Shida is going back with her either because she has a full schedule in Japan all week this week.

“CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, 12/06/2022 Saitama Super Arena
1. NOAH Vs DDT Battle ~ Special Single Match: Kenoh Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. GHC Heavyweight Title: Go Shiozaki (c) Vs Satoshi Kojima
The NOAH side of CyberFight announced their headline match for “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. The GHC Heavyweight Title will be on the line when the new champion Go Shiozaki defends against… Satoshi Kojima from New Japan? Kojima’s surprise appearance in NOAH over the weekend had some fans talking about him potentially jumping ship. His presence here is a little bit similar to Jun Akiyama working with DDT while still under contract to All Japan. The two companies made a deal at the time allowing Akiyama to work with DDT but he ended up staying there until his contract with All Japan ended. Then a few weeks later Akiyama was all clear to sign with DDT. Maybe something similar is happening here because at the moment Kojima is reportedly still under contract to New Japan. He is being coy over it. He wore a NOAH shirt for his appearance and made vague comments on social media about why he is doing this now. The other big story driving this match is Kojima’s attempt to achieve a grand slam of wrestling championships with him already being a former IWGP, NWA and Triple Crown Champion.
Kenoh crashed the party at “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022” yesterday, complaining about DDT like he usually does whenever he has to show up here. He wanted another fight with Sanshiro Takagi but instead drew the attention of Daisuke Sasaki. The challenge for this one is if Kenoh is looking to fight the best wrestler in DDT then Sasaki is standing right here. Kenoh is disgusted to see Sasaki of all people stand up for DDT so the match between them is going ahead.
NOAH announced that Rob Van Dam will be on the show. Look I can’t complain here and act like DDT is above this. Remember when they booked Sabu back in 2018?
Yesterday it was announced that YuuRI will be unable to compete at this weekend’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleheaders. She was in close contact with covid and ended up testing positive after taking a PCR test. No other member of Ganpro has been in a recent close contact situation so she is the only absence for the shows. The changes are as follows below.

6. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Isami Kodaka
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura
Sanshiro Takagi had a fall at his home and broke some cartilage in his rib from landing on a kettlebell. He also hit his head off a dumbbell but that didn’t seem to do anything. It will take him two weeks to recover so he cannot wrestle on tomorrow’s show. He will still be in the corner for Toru Owashi & Soma Takao as they take on Pheromones two against three. Takagi advised Takao to bring back the steel basin he used to hit his opponents with.
Shinya Aoki and Yumiko Hotta agreed to have a regular pro wrestling match for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Hotta doesn’t care what the stipulation is, she will use AJW-ism to win not matter what. Last time Hotta was in the ring with Aoki, she pinned him with the Pyramid Driver. She would like to win this move with a big pro wrestling move like that but is wary of Aoki using his MMA style to avoid a repeat result.
Hotta’s protégé Riko Kawahata wants to have a match with Saki Akai that is unique to themselves. She doesn’t feel the pressure and looks forward to the day Hotta passes the baton down to her.

3. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
Unfortunately Minoru Fujita is still recovering from Covid in the hospital so he will not be fit to wrestle for BASARA later this month. Since the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles has been cancelled or postponed so many times, Sento Minzoku decided to vacate the titles. There will still be a match against Toru Owashi and his team of Toryumon associates and it will be for the vacated titles. Replacing Fujita for the match is Yuko Miyamoto. BASARA also sent a message to Fujita telling him not to rush through his recovery. They will be there for him no matter how long it takes for him to come back.
