2. Fumihito Kihara Vs Kotaro Nasu

4. Ken Ohka Vs Ganbare Tamagawa

The main event was made when Ganbare Tamagawa approached Ken Ohka at the Ganbare☆Pro ticket stand at Sunday’s DDT show. Tamagawa said he didn’t join Ohka’s promotion to put in a half-baked effort and instead wanted to become strong and start winning matches. Ohka said he will teach him how to be strong and suggested they should wrestle each other.

Ohka then had a confrontation with Osamu Namiguchi. Osamu said his amateur wrestling skill is going to waste against the Ganbare crew. Ohka said no one in the company trained in amateur wrestling so Osamu challenged him to find an amateur wrestler to fight himself and Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Ohka said he will and the person he finds will team with Shinichiro Tominaga.

Ganbare☆Pro will hold their first show in Saitama on 21st July.

GANBARE☆PRO “NO CRY, NO WRESTLE” Results

April 18, 2013

ganpro-ohka-cannon-cement

GANBARE☆PRO “NO CRY, NO WRESTLE”, 17/04/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
189 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Commando Bolshoi & Rabbit Miu defeated Ganbare Tamagawa & Nana Kawasa when Bolshoi pinned Tamagawa with the Bolshoi Clutch (9:54).
2. Fumihito Kihara defeated Shota with a European Clutch (12:01).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tomohiro Otani with the Satan Doll (9:51).
4. Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari by Referee Stoppage with a Boston Crab (8:36).
5. Gachinko Cement Match: Ken Ohka defeated Brian Cannon with the Spear Of Fire onto the cement board (13:02).

Ganbare☆Pro held their first proper event and it was actually a success, claiming a Super No Vacancy crowd at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The main event was a grudge match between Ken Ohka and Brian Cannon. Ohka, who is quickly morphing into an Atsushi Onita type figure protecting his home promotion from outside forces by any means necessary. He wanted to prove that he never disgraced the honour of Cannon’s hero Jushin Liger. They fought in a Gachinko Cement match where a board with cement blocks on top was laid in the middle of the ring. The ending was pretty hardcore. Ohka drove Cannon through a table with the Fire Thunder from the middle rope. He then finished off his rival with the Spear of Fire onto the cement blocks. But he didn’t get a chance to celebrate his victory. Osamu Namiguchi attacked Ohka after the match and was joined in the ring by Kazuhiko Ogawasawa. The karate master said he was hired to destroy Ganbare☆Pro. Ohka and Shinichiro Tominaga challenged Ogawasawa & Namiguchi to a tag team match at Ganpuro’s next preview event on 10th May.

Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tomohiro Otani was supposed to be the opening match but Otani was nowhere to be found. Ohka and Yumehito Imanari both came out of the ring cursing him for escaping. The match was moved to the third spot of the card and Otani finally appeared apologizing and reluctantly agreeing to wrestle. Tominaga beat him with the Satan Doll, his name for the RKO.

Nana Kawasa said she wants to become the Cinderella of Ganpuro.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Fumihito Kihara Vs Shota
2. Ganbare Tamgawa & Nana Kawasa Vs Commndo Bolshoi & Rabbit Miu
3. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tomohiro Otani
4. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
5. Gachinko Cement Match: Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Brian Cannon confronted Ken Ohka again to demand a rematch from the first Ganbare☆Wrestling event. However the stakes have been raised by making the rematch a Gachinko Cement Match. The two will fight on a mat placed on top of cement blocks. Cannon’s fandom of Jushin Liger is getting stronger as he now wears a homemade Liger costume underneath his suit.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is beginning to look like an island of misfit toys. Two failed trainees from other promotions have come into Ken Ohka’s promotion. Shinichiro Tominaga, the promising Union rookie from 2011 who quit the promotion after suffering a fractured forearm is back. His opponent Tomohiro Otani was invited to wrestle here by his friend Yumehito Imanari. Otani was a trainee for SMASH but never got anywhere due to “feeling broken.” Ganbare☆Wrestling is offering the two wrestlers a chance to redeem themselves.

GANBARE☆PRO “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT” Results

March 6, 2013

ganpro-ohka-cannon

GANBARE☆PRO “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT”, 06/03/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic
73 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Nana Kawasa defeated Ganbare Tamagawa with the Jack Nana (8:32).
2. Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari with a Boston Crab (4:05).
3. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon ended in a No Contest (6:15).
4. Osamu Namiguchi & Brian Cannon defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Cannon pinned Imanari with the Liger Bomb (1:35).

The first Ganbare☆Pro event went ahead today with 73 fans packed inside a tiny room at the Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic to watch the beginning of Ken Ohka’s new promotion. Ohka, who was dressed a lot like cult death match wrestler Shoji Nakamaki took on foreign Jushin Liger fan Brian Cannon in the main event. Cannon used a lot of Liger’s signature moves but Ohka fired up and fought back. The match fell apart with both Yumehito Imanari and Osamu Namiguchi running in to start a brawl. A tag team match was made immediately with Ohka & Imanari pairing up against Cannon & Namiguchi. Cannon quickly pinned Imanari with the Liger Bomb.

Co-founder Wonder Man was forced to apologise to Ganbare Tamagawa for failing to find him an opponent for the event. Tamagawa was not happy and demanded a match, forcing Wonder Man to ask the audience if anyone knew how to wrestle. Luckily for him, Nana Kawasa from JWP was there and she accepted Tamagawa’s challenge. The rookie joshi surprised Tamagawa with a pin out of nowhere to win.

When the event was over, Ohka wasn’t sure whether or not the event was a success and if he should continue. He held a poll with the audience asking if Ganbare☆Pro should hold another show. The result was an overwhelming yes with 69 votes. Ohka announced the next show will be held on 17th April and he pleaded with everyone to buy three tickets each.

Ganbare Goodness, Yokohama Twilight, Meet Ibushi’s Friend

February 28, 2013

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT”, 06/03/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic

1. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
2. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Behold… another Goddamn DDT spin off! Ganbare☆Wrestling is the creation of Ken Ohka, the eternal Union young lion. After forcing himself out of his longtime home for suffering defeat in a Loser Leaves Town match, Ohka eventually found money to start his own wrestling company. He promoted Ganbare’s debut pre-event at the Shin-Kiba 1st RING parking lot today but was interrupted by Brian Cannon, formerly known as Dingo from Osaka Pro. Cannon confronted Ohka and told him he disgraced his hero Jushin Liger at Korakuen Hall years ago (they had a match once, it’s wasn’t great). Cannon took out a mannequin head wearing a Liger mask and attacked a photographer with it before getting into a scuffle with Ohka. Cannon demanded a match for the Ganbare show and told Ohka he wouldn’t get away with disgracing his hero.

Another match signed is part time wrestler and Golden Rendezvouz manager Yumehito Imanari versus Osamu Namiguchi, a failed trainee from Zero1.

Ohka has also gotten Batten Tamagawa involved with Ganpuro. Tamagawa will use the name Ganbare Tamagawa whenever he wrestles for Ohka’s brand.
