Isami Kodaka already had one crack at winning the UWA World Tag Team Titles from Aijin Tag and failed. He convinced them to give him another go because this time he has an even more powerful tag partner, Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan. Yesterday Kamitani became the first wrestler ever to hold both the BJW Strong World Heavyweight Title and the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title at the same time so he’s now coming into the match as Big Japan’s Double Crown champ.

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews

When 121000000 won the Princess Tag Team Titles the first time they lost it in America on their first defence. In order to make sure the second reign will succeed they are going to try this scenario again. This time instead of facing The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Los Angeles they are going to fight Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews in Seattle. In the minds of the champions Vixen & Matthews are a makeshift team being put together to challenge them. However in DEFY they are two rivals attempting to put aside their differences in order to both become champions again.

Zara Zakher has been added to the show. Speaking of Zakher…

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Watase pinned Manase with the Elbow Butt (22:09).
*V1 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.

Today was the day for Ganbare☆Joshi to show their spirit and take over main event. The division’s top two names Yuna Manase & YuuRI fought Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles on the line. Manase & YuuRI tried fighting fire with fire against the champions in order to show just how determined they were to win. Sadly the admirable performance ended in defeat. Irie took care of YuuRI with a Lariat and Watase used his signature moves on Manase. She kept kicking out of the pins so Watase pulled off his elbow pad and hit an exposed Elbow Butt to finally get the three count.

Watase praised Nippon Ganbare☆Rengo after the match for being so strong. He thought he would never lose to a team of women who can only try hard but this match convinced him it could happen after all. He encouraged GanJo to train more so they can have a rematch. Manase revealed she recently spoke to Shinjiro Otani and he gave her advice on how to win the match. He told her to keep going until she wins. She thanked Irie for fighting her & YuuRI today so he could get to understand their feelings. YuuRI said one day a GanJo wrestler will win a GanPro championship.

Over the last month Munetatsu Nakamura has been losing matches to Gaia Hox & Jun Masaoka across the wrestling scene. The pair known as F-SWAG have beaten Nakamura on both GanPro and FREEDOMS shows leading Nakamura to make a rash decision today. He was meant to wrestle Keisuke Ishii on a singles match but when he found out F-SWAG was in the area today he convinced Ishii to team with him for a tag match against them instead. F-SWAG won the match and have now beaten Nakamura for the third time in a row. The rookie still wants to keep fighting them no matter what company it will take place in. Masaoka doesn’t deny that Nakamura loves wrestling and GanPro but he explained that the rookie hasn’t changed much in their matches together. Ishii though? Masaoka enjoyed wrestling him and would be happy to have a singles match against him anytime. Hox also called out Shota Kawakami to stand with Nakamura if this rivalry against F-SWAG is going to continue.


Oishi’s Last Day Gets Busier, To-y Finally Gets His Title Shot, Aoki Faces The Undisputed Ace Once More

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held today for ShunMao and the challengers to sign the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract. Danshoku Dieno appeared alone and called Makoto Oishi to find out where he is. Oishi said he overslept and he was already in a taxi on the way over to the building. After a 10 minute wait Oishi still had not appeared so the contract signing went ahead without him. Dieno apologized dogeza style and convinced ShunMao to let him sign the contract without the need for Oishi’s signature. Shunma Katsumata called it a sign of Oishi being careless and MAO said when the match happens he will deliver the final blow to Oishi. When it was time for the group photo, Oishi finally arrived and entered the room intending to ambush the champions. But MAO noticed him coming and kicked him in the groin. Oishi admitted he was going to attack MAO to give his team the advantage but he really did oversleep and arrived to the conference late. He explained he went to be late last night, woke up this morning to do his laundry, went back to bed until almost noon. Oishi apologised by doing a full vertical headstand that he calls the ultimate dogeza. He then talked about the title match but mistakingly said it was happened on 3rd November, not 3rd October. MAO scolded him for getting the date wrong and called it was a disgrace.

Oishi’s last day in DDT has gotten even busier. He helped train Kaisei Takechi for his wrestling matches and Takechi wants to show his appreciation for it by teaming with him before he goes. Oishi already has a KO-D Tag Titles match lined up but ShunMao gave their blessing for him to do the Takechi match too. It sounds like the Takechi match will happen before the title match on the day.

1. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Azul Dragon (c) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs To-y

After a whole bunch of failed cash in attempts, To-y lost his chance at fighting Yuki Iino for the DDT Universal Title when the Right To Challenge Shield was taken away from him. However To-y didn’t let that stop him from still trying to get Iino’s attention. No matter how many times Iino took him down with the Spear, To-y refused to give up. Iino now sees how much heart To-y is showing him so he agreed to finally give him his title shot.

I found out where Azul Dragon defended the O-40 Title. He held an event back in June called Karaokekan Pro Wrestling and retained the title in a 3 Way Match with a bunch of silly rules attached to it.

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024”, 14/10/2024

The three singles matches on the show are put together to see if the new wrestlers can show what the future of Ganbare☆Pro will be like. It’s a big spot for the likes of Munetatsu Nakamura, Daisuke®️, Shota Kawakami and maybe even Yuki Kanzaki. But if Keisuke Ishii and Ken Ohka win their matches in dominant ways that too could show GanPro’s future is not going to change much.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024”, 20/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

In the past there have been three singles matches Shinya Aoki and HARASHIMA had against each other. Aoki has a 2-1 record against HARASHIMA but still considers his opponent to be the undisputed ace of DDT. He is looking forward to finding out if he can make it three wins out of four or if HARASHIMA will even the score and win the KO-D Openweight Title in the process.

The new DDT Extreme Champion wasted no time in choosing his first challenger. Akito has always admired Dieno for being a symbol of DDT’s creativity. Even when Akito feuded with Pheromones he hated seeing Dieno play in a supporting role rather than the group leader. Akito played a part in taking away Pheromones from Dieno so he wants to flip roles and give Dieno a chance to take his beloved Extreme Title away from him.

Kota Ibushi will be on the show.

2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs X

The next DDT Universal Title defence after this weekend will happen on 13th October. Will Yuki Iino still be the champion or is Yukio Naya taking his spot?

The show will feature a rare Kota Umeda sighting! Just as rare is the O-40 Title being defended. Azul Dragon won the belt back in April and has defended it just once since then. I’ll have to go look where that defence happened because it wasn’t in DDT.

Shinya Aoki will be on the show.

DDT “YUKI ISHIDA TRIUMPH! GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 14/10/2024

2. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata

Whether he’s champion or not, Iino will have to deal with Kazuki Hirata in Kumamoto. If Hirata still has the Right To Challenge Shield by then he could use it for a title shot. However he seems to despise being in possession of the Shield and has not shown interest in using it for a title shot of any kind.

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Makoto & SAKI
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Yuna Manase & YuuRI

The lack of movement up the card for Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten to Yuna Manase so it’s time for a change. She wants GanJo matches to move up to the main event of Ganbare☆Pro events! She and YuuRI got themselves a big opportunity to do that by challenging Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase For the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles.

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024

2. London Machine, Choun-Shiryu & Tsukina Umino defeated PSYCHO, Rekka & HARUKAZE when Machine submitted HARUKAZE with the Argentine Backbreaker (12:20).

4. Hartley Jackson defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Piledriver (13:20).
5. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase defeated Tyson Maeguchi, Thanomsak Toba & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Maeguchi with the Triple Three 3 Lock (14:27).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (18:51).
*V3 for Keisuke Ishii.

Last month’s cancelled show delayed the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match to today. In the meantime Keisuke Ishii got to wrestle Yuji Nagata recently and was inspired to use the Nagata Lock II on Takuya Wada. He had to let go due to a rope break but Ishii went back to his usual moveset and eventually won with the High Angle Double Arm DDT. Ishii encouraged Wada to keep fighting him and said they should have three more matches against each other. Ishii told the fans he will lead Ganbare☆Pro for as long as his willpower and body can handle it. Hartley Jackson entered the ring and told Ishii he is a strong champion, but Jackson is ichiban! He will face Ishii for the SOG Title in Osaka on 3rd November.

After Match #5 Mizuki Watase was confronted in the ring by Yuna Manase. She said Watase is doing more to carry the weight of GanPro in other promotions than anyone else. However Manase wants to make her name inside GanPro so she is challenging Watase & Shigehiro Irie for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles! Watase accepted her challenge, saying he and Irie want to defend the titles against anyone who is motivated regardless of their gender, nationality or what promotion the represent. Manase wants the title shot to happen on 14th October in the main event and she already decided YuuRI is going to be her tag partner. Whenever they team together they are called Nippon Ganbare☆Rengo. The move has Shuichiro Katsumura’s approval. He was going to challenge the champions with Ken Ohka but he’s happy to support his “cute little sisters” instead. Watase is Katsumura’s “nasty little brother” so he won’t be cheering for him.

At the start of the show Yumehito Imanari talked about being undefeated in GanPro ever since they went independent. He asked Michiyoshi Mishima to be rewarded with a SOG Title shot if he could beat Jackson today. Mishima agreed but Imanari ended up losing the match. That led to Jackson challenging Ishii for the title at the end of the show instead.

Another reason why Manase made her tag title challenge was to help push the Ganbare☆Joshi division towards the main event of GanPro cards. GanJo matches are usually held during the first half of the regular shows and when Match #3 was finished Manase asked Mishima to book a GanJo bout for the main event of the 14th October show. Mishima said he would think about it but Manase was not happy with that answer. Then the stuff already written above happened later as a compromise.

HARUKAZE finds herself in the opposite end from Imanari. She has yet to win a match in GanPro since the group went independent and vowed today would be her first victory. That didn’t happen because London Machine made her submit to the Argentine Backbreaker. Both of them tried pulling on each other’s masks during the match.

Even though Munetatsu Nakamura lost in the opening match, he made a request afterwards. Takashi Sasaki was in attendance and Nakamura asked him if he could be booked for the FREEDOMS show at Korakuen Hall on 10th October. Sasaki was impressed by how proactive Nakamura is to ask him directly instead of contacting the FREEDOMS office. However Jun Masaoka took offence and told both Nakamura & Shota Kawakami they need to practice more. A brawl broke out between the teams. Masaoka & Gaia Hox ended up getting the better of the GanPro rookies again.

At the end of the show Ohka interrupted Ishii’s closing speech to give everyone an announcement. GanPro will return to Korakuen Hall on 11th April, 2025! It will be GanPro’s first time booking Korakuen as an independent promotion. The previous times were all done under DDT or CyberFight’s control. Ishii said never in his 16 year career has he main evented a Korakuen show as a singles champion. He will do his best to headline Korakuen with the SOG Title and close out the show with fans chanting his name.

2. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari defeated Mizuki Watase, Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Imanari pinned Kawakami with the Lariat (25:07).
3. Yuji Nagata defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Nagata Lock 54 (14:57).

Keisuke Ishii got to have a special one-off match with Yuji Nagata today. It was a match Ishii wanted to have before he turns 40 early next year. He came close to winning with the Double Arm Driver but Nagata kicked out. Nagata fought back with an Exploder Suplex but Ishii returned fire with the Kneel Kick for the double down spot. Nagata got up first and soon trapped Ishii in the Nagata Lock II. He then switched over to the latest version of the move called the Nagata Lock 54 (it combines the Nagata Lock II with Shinjiro Otani’s King Cobra Hold). Ishii couldn’t fight out of it and had to tap out.

Nagata praised everyone in Ganbare☆Pro for fighting with passion as hot as the summer heat. He’ll never forget the cheers he got today at Tokorozawa Park Town because they sounded just as loud as the cheers you would get for a main event in the Tokyo Dome. Ishii told Nagata he became a fan of his ever since 1998 when he saw his match against Scott Norton for the IWGP Heavyweight Title. But Ishii cannot forget he is currently the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion so he cannot get emotional over losing today’s match. He will set a new goal of getting stronger so he will one day beat Nagata. The two of them are open to having a rematch in the future.

Last week Ilusion was finally accepted into SCHADENFREUDE International. It has caused Match #1 here to be swapped around. The unit’s newest member is now teaming with Takeshi Masada against Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida. This match also begins Ishida’s full time return to DDT.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN NARAHA TOWN ~J VILLAGE~”, 21/09/2024
J Village, Naraha Town, Fukushima

1. Falls Count Anywhere 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi

DDT’s crew are going to cause some chaos over in To-y’s neck of the woods. He is still serving as an unofficial ambassador for Naraha Town in order to pay off the trillion yen debt he owes to the area. At least the rest of The 37KAMIINA are helping him out along with Ishida for a big Falls Count Anywhere match.

GANBARE☆PRO “KATTENI-SHIYAGARE 2024”, 23/09/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Takuya Wada

The postponed Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match has been rescheduled for 23rd September in Yokohama. That is the only surviving match from the show that was cancelled last month. Everything else on this card are new matches.

Tsukina Umino is from Ice Ribbon. She recently fought and lost to YuuRI in a match for the ICExInfinity Title. One of her teammates is London Machine, a masked gimmick that has mostly appeared in ChocoPro. I think in one of his first appearances it was Seiya Morohashi under the mask but I don’t know if it’s been him every time.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

It’s a loaded show DDT is putting together for Sunday. Yuki Ueno defends the KO-D Openweight Title against Shinya Aoki while needing eyes at the back of his head for any potential Right To Challenge cash in attempts. Kota Ibushi finally returns to DDT and people will be watching to see what physical condition he is in. Soma Takao celebrates his 15th Anniversary by getting in the ring with Keisuke Ishii again, just like old times.

GANBARE☆PRO “TOKOROZAWA PARK SHOPPING BOX OFFICE”, 07/09/2024
Saitama Tokorozawa Park Town Shopping Arcade

1. Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE
2. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari Vs Mizuki Watase, Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami
3. Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata

Ishii is only a few months away from turning 40 years old so he asked Ganbare☆Pro to get him a big name opponent to mark the end of the final summer in his 30’s. They pulled off a big one because Ishii’s opponent is Yuji Nagata from New Japan! It is a non-title match but Ishii knows he cannot lose while he is the Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. The match is happening at an outdoor show at Tokorozawa Park Town so fingers crossed there will not be any bad weather on the day.

Last weekend Yuna Manase had a rocky trip to America that ended in joy. She was scheduled for two Kitsune shows but could only make the second date due to travel issues. However it all worked out for her in the end because she won her 3 Way Match and became the new Kitsune World Champion! This should be her first match back in GanPro since winning the title.

DDT “SUMIDA DRAMATIC DREAM! ~FREE SEATING PRO WRESTLING SHOW~”, 04/11/2024

The next scheduled KO-D Title defence after this weekend is set for Higashin Arena when DDT will hold a free show there in November. Any of the Right To Challenge Shield holders are welcome to use their cash in and be the challenger for that show as long as they still have their Shield by the time it takes place.
