Yumehito Imanari has gotten an opportunity to train with Mitsuo Momota, the son of Rikidozan. Because of this he is eager to show off his newly inherited skill of Royal Road wrestling. When Ken Ohka told him that one of his opponents is Osochin Aries, Yumehito asked if he meant Austin Aries from TNA.

Gorikiko approached Ohka and Imanari asking to join the war between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Union. Naturally she will be pitted against Cherry. She admits Cherry would beat her in a normal wrestling match so she instead challenges her to a Judo Jacket Match. Gorikiko has trained in Judo so she will have the advantage in this situation.

Somebody named Dr. Kiriko will also be on the card.

Ganbare Literally Crashes Union Press Conference

March 11, 2014

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2014”, 23/03/2014
Kawasaki Plaza Sol

1. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Yumehito Imanari
2. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato Vs Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Mio Shirai
5. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The war between Union and Ganbare☆Wrestling heats up in Miyagi with two matches booked between the two promotions. Mitomi Masayuki admits he is in a complex position because his next match is personal. Masayuki went to the same university as his opponent Yumehito Imanari. Masayuki was a first year student while Imanari was a senior when they were both in the college wrestling club. Back then Imanari wrestled under the name Sakuragaoka Kinteki and Masayuki remembered how much he wanted to become a pro wrestler despite suffering many setbacks. However, Masayuki believes that Imanari is not the person he used to know thanks to Ganbare☆Wrestling. He called Ganpuro a vanity project and he will show Imanari what he lacks as a pro wrestler. Imanari’s response was the wrestling ring is just a square and he asked what will Masayuki do when he takes the fight outside of the square. If Masayuki can only wrestle inside the sqaure then Imanari will end him on the 23rd.

union-ganbare-bicycle

The press conference for the show was literally crashed by Ken Ohka, who arrived late, entered the room on a bicycle and cycled into Seiya Morohashi. Imanari then attacked Morohashi and held him in place so Ohka could cycle into him again.

cherry-notmio

There was also a discussion about the Fly To Everywhere Title match. The champion Cherry was in attendance but Mio Shirai was unable to appear due to other commitments. So she was represented by a person holding a drawing of a fox in front of their face. “Mio” praised Cherry for being strong, youthful and always shining. “She” asked how to make “her” ageing face look as youthful and Cherry said “she” needed heavy make up. Cherry also brought up the Age Contra Makeup match she and Shirai were supposed to have in May 2012. Shirai wound up getting injured before the match and had to be replaced my Emi Sakura, who beat Cherry and forced her to finally reveal her true date of birth. Cherry said “Mio” ran away from that match and she still resents her for that.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN SENDAI”, 04/05/2014
Miyagi El Park Sendai

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs X

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi returns to Union after a two year absence. Kikuchi retired from wrestling back in August 2012 due to a serious injury adding to his already poor physical condition. He has since found a job at a training company in Miyagi where he still works to this day. Now recovered and with permission from his boss, Kikuchi promises to return to Union with a blast!

UNION “DEMON UNION 2014”, 11/02/2014

3a. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (6:36).
3b. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (9:59).
*Seiya Morohashi fails in V1. Ryu Gouma becomes the 4th Aipoke World Champion!
4. Hikaru Sato defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Crab Hold (7:21).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Richard Burn with a Swinging Sleeper (5:29).
6. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & SAGAT defeated Ivan Markov, Freddy Martello & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ MEN’S Teioh) when Kodaka pinned Martello with the Zan Isamu Leg (15:44).

Union won the latest battle against World MEN’s Club, a 6-Man Tag that was fought under Hardcore rules by request of the Club. The Union team were ambushed as they made their entrance and the two sides utilised plenty of chairs to hurt each other. Isami Kodaka withstood Freddy Martello’s attacks and put him away with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto a fold out chair followed by the Zan Isamu Leg. After the match Kodaka told Ivan Markov that the match was hotter than the Winter Olympics going on in Sochi right now and that he wants a Union MAX Title shot next month!

Richard Burn returned to show off his fighting ability yet again, this time against the big man of Union, Shuji Ishikawa. Burn was accompanied by a man wearing glasses who acted as his cornerman, yelling instructions and motivating him with martial art stances. Ishikawa proved too strong to handle and applied a deep Sleeper Hold, going as far as to lift Burn off his feet and swing him in a circle until he submitted. Burn thanked Ishikawa for a good fight and asked for another match sometime. Ishikawa accepted.

That wasn’t the last appearance of Burn and his companion. They both reappeared at the end of the show wearing bikini tops and mini skirts with their hair in pigtails. Burn took the mic and said his real name was Ladybeard and he loves to wear women’s clothing! He appealed to join Union. Ishikawa said he could and everybody welcomed him. They are not creeped out by Burn’s sudden change because according to Kodaka, “Nothing is scary to us anymore.”

Hikaru Sato has jumped ship to Union, at least for the time being. Sato was the mysterious opponent for the rookie Tomoya Kawamura and the result was no surprise. In the post-match interview Sato explained that Union is a nice resting place for him to have a break after a good journey. He denied coming over to Union for the Aipoke World Title.

The Aipoke World Title was on the line in a Best 2 out of 3 Quiz match. Every time a wrestler pinned his opponent for one second or forced him to use a rope break, one of the Idea Pocket Divas would ask him a quiz question. First wrestler to answer two questions correctly wins the match. Seiya Morohashi easily pinned Ryu Gouma several times but was so excited he kept on giving wrong answers immediately instead of taking the time to think. Eventually Gouma was able to pin Morohashi twice and answer both questions correctly to became the new Aipoke Champion! Super Sasadango Machine appeared after the match to challenge Gouma to a title match at Korakuen Hall in May. They shook hands but Sasadango then gave Gouma the Verdict.

Union’s other war right now is with the invading Ganbare☆Wrestling led by Ken Ohka. Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki were ready to fight the Ganpuro team of Ohka & Yumehito Imanari but did not expect former Union wrestler Shinichiro Tominaga to show up with them. The match quickly turned into a brawl and had to be called off as the four wrestlers were fighting all over the arena. When things settled down, Ohka introduced the Union team to Tominaga and asked for the match to restart with Tominaga taking Imanari’s place. Everyone agreed and the bell rang. Tominaga bloodied Kazato’s mouth with punches and wiped out Masayuki with a Moonsault, leaving Ohka to put away Kazato with the Spear. Tominaga screamed out how happy he was quitting Union and how Ganpuro revived him. The trio later picked a fight with Seiya Morohashi until Naomi Susan stepped in and demanded them to leave.

Cherry and Mio Shirai weren’t able to work well as a team for Shirai’s first match as a full time Union wrestler. They were still able to win but Shirai thought she had to do it by herself. She challenged Cherry to a Fly To Everywhere Title match and declared she will change the world of women’s wrestling. Naomi Susan booked the match for Yokohama on 23rd March. Mio told Cherry to protect the belt tightly.


Union Gets Threatened, Sets Up Defences

January 31, 2014

UNION “DEMON UNION 2014”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Idea Pocket Presents: X Vs X
2. Tomoya Kawamura Vs X
3. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki
4. Cherry & Mii Shirai Vs Kaori Yoneyama & Sareee
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Richard Burn

A threatening letter made up of magazine clippings was sent to Union HQ from an unknown person who claims he or she will come to Union on this show. The message contained a lot of sexual phrases, so much so that Naomi Susan considered it to be sexual harassment as she read it. She wondered if the message came from Ganbare☆Wrestling or if it was Richard Burn. Isami Kodaka figured out that it had to be somebody else working on their own. They decided that the mysterious person will have to wrestle Tomoya Kawamura if he/she shows up.

After being caught off guard by the appearance of Ganbare☆Wrestling at the last show, Union now has Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki as their first line of defence for Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari. Kazato said they will crush the Ganpuro team and asked if they are even a major wrestling company.

The Idea Pocket Divas attending the show this time around are Mai Tamaki, Rinon Miyasaki and Harumi Tachibana.


UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2014” Results

January 11, 2014

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2014”, 11/01/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
304 Fans – Super No Vacancy

6. Emergency Special Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated Daichi Kazato & Tomoya Kawamura when Ohka pinned Kawamura with the Spear Of Fire (2:23).
7. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) defeated Sareee with the Spring Night Love (8:55).
*V2 for Cherry.
8. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) defeated FUMA with the Neck Hanging Bomb (14:02).
*V1 for Ivan Markov.

World Men’s Club showed their strength over Union today with all of their members scoring victories over the Union roster. Ivan Markov took care of FUMA in the main event Union MAX Title match with a little help from his stable mates. Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’S Teioh also scored a win over Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato.

If the World Men’s Club boasting of their superiority wasn’t bad enough, Union also now has a new invasion led by a former friend to deal with. Mid way through the show a banner with “Declaration of War” written on it was unveiled in the arena. All of a sudden Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari from Ganbare☆Wrestling appeared! Imanari said that Ganpuro saves wrestling from a rotten life. Naomi Susan didn’t want to deal with Ohka annoying her so she sent Daichi Kazato & Tomoya Kawamura after the invaders in an impromptu match. Unfortunately for them they had already wrestled while Ohka & Imanari were on fresh form despite wrestling in suits. The Ganpuro team won and struck the first blow in their invasion and continued fighting with their opponents until Mitomi Masayuki and SAGAT arrived. When the invaders finally left, Susan thanked the Union wrestlers for chasing them off and called for the show to continue.

Cherry said her Fly To Everywhere Title Match with Sareee was like wrestling a version of herself from 22 years ago. When asked what she was like 22 years ago, Cherry said she had a crew cut and participated in Judo. She hasn’t considered who her next challenger will be but wants to defend her championship more and more.

Shuji Ishikawa was challenged by Richard Burn to a match for the 11th February show in Yokohama. Shuji accepted and is interested in the Wrestling Vs Karate dynamic. Earlier in the show, Burn had his second match in Union. His martial arts background overwhelmed his opponent, this time the rookie Tomoya Kawamura. Burn knocked him out with the Afterburn in quick fashion.

SAGAT tried to get on Kyoko Kimura’s good side before their match by offering her bananas. Kimura didn’t even entertain the offer and kicked them away, making SAGAT angry. Kimura wound up beating SAGAT but offered him a banana after their match. SAGAT accepted it.


Union’s First Show Of 2014

7. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs FUMA

Union kicks off 2014 with a new enemy looking to take them down. Russian wrestler Ivan Markov won the brand new Union MAX Championship last month and formed World Men’s Club with MEN’S Teioh and Hiroshi Fukuda. The new unit will be in action for the first time as Fukuda & Teioh take on Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato. Markov also defends his new title  against FUMA.

???????????????????????????????

Isami Kodaka and Naomi Susan received a package from former Union wrestler Ken Ohka. The package contained eggs, milk, cuttlefish and a piece of paper with a crossed out eye drawn on it. There was also a message from Ohka saying he and his Ganbare☆Wrestling friends will break into Union and crash the event. Susan tore up the letter but was a little surprised with what she read. She and Kodaka also ate and drank the food that was in the package.

???????????????????????????????

Cherry challenged Sareee to a New Year Table Tennis Battle at the press conference. Sareee was not at the conference so an unknown man holding a cardboard cutout of her face over his head showed up instead and easily beat Cherry three times in a row. As a forfeit for losing, “Sareee” drew on Cherry’s face with a marker after every game until Cherry had enough and chased off her “opponent”.

Mitomi Masayuki will be out of action for a while because he is getting a bolt surgically removed from the ankle he broke last year.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING 5 “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!”, 26/12/2013

5. Reunion Of Fate: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Moonsault (13:40).
6. Armageddon Final Battle: Ken Ohka defeated Osamu Namiguchi with the Spear Of Fire (15:21)

Ken Ohka has survived his Armageddon and finally defeated his nemesis Osamu Namiguchi! Ever since its inception back in February, Ganbare☆Wrestling has been mocked and constantly attacked by Namiguchi and his partner in crime Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Ohka stood up for the company he created from scratch but constantly fell to Namiguchi. One last battle between the two took place the day after Christmas. Ohka was proving to be a match for his opponent until he was given a Low Blow behind the referee’s back. Ogasawara also got involved attacking Ohka while the ref was distracted. Several Ganpuro wrestlers ran down to ringside to stop him but Ogasawara was able to defeat them easily. But Ohka refused to give up. Ogasawara interfered again and threw a High Kick, but Ohka ducked and the kick struck Namiguchi instead! Ohka countered the Lanakira-N and delivered the Spear Of Fire to score the pin and finally beat Namiguchi. Ohka stopped Namiguchi from leaving ringside after the match and thanked him for the experience he gained from fighting him all year. Ohka offered a handshake but Namiguchi ignored it and left.

Ohka declared Ganpuro is now major sport wrestling and announced Chapter 2 of the company will begin on 6th April, 2014 in Kitizawa Town Hall. Yumehito Imanari wondered why the next show will take so long and what will they get up to during the first three months of next year. Ohka told them they will go to Union and they will crush Union! Ohka wants Ganpuro to be a major company and the next step is to crush the competition!

Bad Tension TAMAGAWA went back to just being Batten Tamagawa for his final match in Tokyo before he goes home for at least the time being. After beating Shota, Tamagawa said he wanted to change his “half-baked” self. He tried dabbling in evil as Bad Tension TAMAGAWA and he admits he is still an immature person. He tearfully thanked everyone and told each of the Ganpuro wrestlers to hang in there.

Survival Tobita’s cyborg transformation was completed in time for his battle with the creature known as J-Soul Pandita III. But Tobita had a major weakness, his brain was left exposed. Tobita survived the head trauma Pandita gave him and was able to defeat the monster with help from a gas cooling extinguisher. He froze Pandita with the extinguisher and then delivered an Elbow Drop for the pin. After the match a mysterious doctor wearing the Scream mask entered the ring and put down Pandita with an injection. Tobita was shocked and yelled at the doctor for killing the creature. Tobita told him a friendship began to grow with him and Pandita and swore revenge on the “fake doctor”.

Gorikiko appeared dressed in a Santa costume. Not a sexy Santa costume, just regular Santa. She was disappointed she did not have a match on the show but said she would work hard as a second for the wrestlers.

75 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Crusher Takahashi defeated Survival Tobita with a Texas Cloverleaf (6:29).
2. Yumehito Imanari Vs Bad Tension TAMAGAWA ended in a Double KO (13:36).
3. Osamu Namiguchi & Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when Namiguchi pinned Shota with the Lanakira-N (?:??)

One month away from their final battle and final match in Ganbare☆Wrestling, Ken Ohka and Osamu Namiguchi faced off again in tag team action. Namiguchi & Kazuhiko Ogasawara proved too strong for Ohka & Shota in the main event. Namiguchi told Ohka he still had to pay his dues. He called Ganpuro a waste organisation and he is ready to throw it out onto the scrapheap. Ohka said he is serious when it comes to Ganpuro and he dreams the promotion will become a major organisation. He is absolutely sure he will not lose to Namiguchi.

Shota was the ring announcer and time keeper for the show, which explains the lack of detail with some of the results.

Yumehito Imanari and Bad Tension TAMAGAWA fought their hearts out until their bodies just could not take it anymore. The match ended when they were trading Elbow Strikes while both yelling “I will do my best! Ganbare!” until the point of collapse.

When we last saw Survival Tobita he was given instructions by Ken Ohka to transform himself into a cyborg. He was only able to partially through the process and appeared today with a lot of skin missing from his upper body. One of his eyes, his brain and his internal organs were all exposed. Crusher Takahashi defeated the work in progress cyborg and shook his hand after the match. He didn’t want to hug him though.

The Ganbare☆Idol of the show is Metropoli-chan V, an underground idol who also has a career as a nurse.

J-Soul Pandita III appeared from the wild to attack Wonder Man at the beginning of the show. Who’s Wonder Man you ask? Beats me.

4. Ken Ohka defeated Bad Tension TAMAGAWA with the Spear Of Fire (15:00).

Ken Ohka and Bad Tension TAMAGAWA got all of the ill will out of their systems in today’s main event. The match took place to motivate TAMAGAWA and stop him from cheating. However, at one point he got desperate and took out brass knuckles. Ohka was able to convince TAMAGAWA not to use them and the match continued. The two were reduced to tears as they traded blows back and forth until Ohka won with the Spear Of Fire.

Ken Ohka Vs Osamu Namiguchi will take place at Ganbare☆Pro 5 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring on 26th December. Ohka has called the match Armageddon Final Battle!

Osamu Namiguchi came out on top in the Handicap Match by submitting Gorikiko. Yumehito Imanari said he wasn’t finished fighting and demanded a one on one match with Namiguchi immediately. Namiguchi won that match too.

Survival Tobita was demolished by the wild creature known as J-Soul Pandita III. Ohka came to Tobita’s aid wondering how this could have happened. Tobita said Pandita is too strong and he himself may have to retire as a fraud. Ohka told Tobita there is only one way he can defeat the monster. Turn into a cyborg!
