GANBARE☆WRESTLING “AUTOMATIC 2016”, 14/05/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. ’16 Fighting Satellite☆Battle Prince: Shibata & Eddie French defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari when Shibata submitted Imanari with the Front Sleeper (12:16).
2. Men’s Street!: American Balloon defeated Chikara and Rainbow Kawamura when Balloon pinned Kawamura with the Balloon Sault (6:47).
3. Mars Spector Invasion!: Mars Spector defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Cross Armbreaker (5:41).
4. Revenge Of The “K”: Hi69 defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Michinoku Driver II (16:13).
5. WRESTLE-1 Champion Appears In Ganpuro! ~Circle Of Friends Grows~: Ken Ohka, KAI & Shota defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Ohka pinned Abe with the Spear Of Flame (17:50).

Thanks to Shota’s connections with WRESTLE-1, Ganbare☆Wrestling welcomed KAI into their home. KAI and Ken Ohka had met before but never been in the same match together. KAI got into it and even changed his entrance music to “BAD COMMUNICATION”. During the main event Ohka still tried to snap Yukihiro Abe out of Minoru Fujita’s brainwashing. KAI emulated Ohka’s Spear Of Flame but missed Abe and hit Ohka by mistake! He made up for it by stopping the pin count and taking out Fujita & Madoka with a Double Lariat. Ohka hit his own Spear Of Flame on Abe for the win.

Ohka thanked KAI for helping him win but Fujita interrupted their celebrations. Fujita made an Elimination Match between Ganpuro and Rubbish Heap☆Wrestling for 16th June. Fujita picked Madoka, Abe, Hi69 and Bambi as his partners. Ohka said he would face all five of them alone but his friends convinced him to let them join his team. Yumehito Imanari and Shinichiro Tominaga are his first picks. Shota also decided to affiliate himself with Ganpuro and joined the team. Ohka thought over his final pick and then it hit him. KAI! He can get KAI to join him! KAI agreed but was then interrupted by Ai Shimizu. She came to the ring cosplaying as Ohka, wearing a Ganpuro shirt and a headband with Ganpuro☆Love written on it. She appealed to join the team. Ohka was touched by her desire and decided to add Shimizu instead of KAI. KAI had no hard feelings over the decision. He admitted WRESTLE-1 wouldn’t have allowed him to compete in the match anyway.

Shinichiro Tominaga and Hi69 argued about K-DOJO during their match. Tominaga insulted Hi69 by saying he is beneath Ryuichi Sekine. When Hi69 won the match he said Tominaga is beneath him. But he also said Tominaga is becoming a good wrestler. Not a strong wrestler, but a good one.

The debuting Mars Spector had a dominant debut against Mitomi Masayuki. Wearing a mask and costume that reminded some people of Super Uchu Power, Spector attacked Masayuki with kicks and didn’t seem badly effected by Masayuki’s moves. A Soccer Ball Kick and Cross Armbreaker won the match for Spector. A worried Shibata yelled for ice while he checked on Masayuki afterwards.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “EVEN THOUGH LOVE IS SELFISH, YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE I WON’T HURT” Results

April 24, 2016

american-balloon

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “EVEN THOUGH LOVE IS SELFISH, YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE I WON’T HURT”, 23/04/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
134 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Osamu Namiguchi & J-Soul Pandita III IV defeated Shibata, Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura when Pandita pinned Kawamura with the Running Panda Impact (7:17).
2. Mystery Of The Black Ships, Attack In Ganpuro!: Blonde Busty Foreigner “X” = American Balloon defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Balloon Sault (7:42).
3. Special Tag Match: Shinichiro Tominaga & Manami Kanda defeated Chikara & Ai Shimizu when Tominaga pinned Chikara with a Modified Face Lock (11:46).
4. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yukihiro Abe with the Frog Splash (13:20).
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Tomodachi-gun: Minoru Fujita & Takafumi Ito defeated Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura when Fujita pinned Ohka with an Inside Cradle (23:52).

The main event had a lot on the line. Ken Ohka’s entrance music versus Minoru Fujita’s Best Microphone Award from the Dramatic Awards. Fujita played mind games by coming out to “BAD COMMUNICATION” by B’z anyway. His tag partner Takafumi Ito was introduced as a friend of a friend of Fujita which is good enough to gain membership into Tomodachi-gun. Fujita used the referee as a shield to prevent Ohka from doing the Spear Of Flame. The distraction allowed Yukihiro Abe to interfere and attack Ohka with a foreign object. Fujita gave Ohka the Tombstone but he kicked out at two. Another referee distraction had Fujita low blow Ohka and then roll him over with an Inside Cradle. That was enough for the three count. Ohka was left to mourn over losing his beloved entrance song. Fujita added extra salt to the wound by reminding him that he was never authorized to use it.

Shota offered a handshake to Abe after their match but was silently rejected.

Yumehito Imanari was really excited to find out who his opponent was going to be. After wrestling Viper last month he wanted to wrestle an even bigger, bustier woman. Instead he got American Balloon, a former DDT gaijin heavyweight who originally retired from Japanese wrestling back in 2010. Balloon did fit the bill of what Imanari wanted. He is bigger and bustier than Viper. He even used his big man boobs to block a lot of Imanari’s offence. Just like in his match with Viper, Imanari’s defeat came when he tried a German Suplex and ended up getting squashed by his opponent.

Shinichiro Tominaga challenged Hi69 to a match on 14th May.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “LADY NAVIGATION 2016”, 23/04/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
112 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Goddess Of Ganpuro, Advent: Kem Ohka defeated Ai Shimizu by TKO with a Half Crab (6:10).
2. III’s Vs Enjo-gun: Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura defeated Chikara & J-Soul Pandita III IV when Masayuki pinned Pandita with the Shota Certified Power Plant (9:44).
3. Through A Time Of Three Years, Again!: Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Lanakila-X (9:46).
4. Shota And Abe, In A Stationary Darkness: Madoka & Yukihiro Abe defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when Abe pinned Shota after a Face Kick from Madoka (12:34).
5. Yutori Generation X Vs Black Jack Of The Rubbish Heap: Minoru Fujita defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Reverse Viper Hold (19:17).

Ganbare☆Wrestling held two shows in one day to celebrates its third anniversary. In the first show Shinichiro Tominaga stepped up to face Tomodachi-gun leader Minoru Fujita. Tominaga had an uphill battle ahead of him but was close to winning the match when he hit the JK. Unfortunately Fujita ducked a Lariat, pulled Tominaga down to the mat and applied the Reverse Viper Hold to make him submit. Fujita said the match was good preparation for the evening show and that Rubbish Heap★Wrestling will be immortal forever! Fujita then took out his Best Microphone diploma from this year’s Dramatic Awards. He offered a deal with Ken Ohka. If Ohka’s team wins the main event of the evening show then he will be given the Best Microphone Award. But if Fujita’s team wins he takes Ohka’s entrance song “BAD COMMUNICATION” by B’z! Ohka rejected the proposal but Fujita then asked if Ohka has permission from B’z to use the song. Ohka does not. He accepted the stipulation.

Tomodachi-gun cheated to win the semi-main event. Madoka distracted the referee so Yukihiro Abe could attack Shota with a foreign object. Madoka then hit a High Face Kick to Shota while Abe got rid of the evidence. Abe was the legal man so he got the pin with the referee being none the wiser.

Ken Ohka was Ai Shimizu’s mystery opponent for her first match in Ganpuro. Ohka invited Shimizu to come wrestle in Ganpuro anytime.

She even slapped Ohka to prove how serious she is to join the company. Ohka is now looking to find the best opponent for Shimizu’s first match.

Shibata was originally supposed to be in the opening match teaming with Mitomi Masayuki. Unfortunately Shibata had to pull out of the show due to a double booking. Rainbow Kawamura takes his place. Kawamura was a part of Enjo-gun faction before his injury and transformation. It’s unknown if his new personality will clash with Masayuki.

Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
103 Fans

1. Special Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Chikara defeated Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki by TKO when Katsumura used the Choke Sleeper on Masayuki (9:05).
2. World’s Strongest Phantom Rumble ~Bracken Of The Living Dead~: Potato Head Sera wins when he entered with nobody left in the ring (28:30).
Order Of Elimination: Atsushi Maruyama, Choun-Shiryu, Hong Kong Domestic Police Man, Fake Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Women’s Police Man, Mac Imanari, Lions Mask, Miss Goat, Mushuku No “Sekiko”, Mr. Jujitsu, Scheiner Man. Even
3. Special Dream Match: Viper defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Viper Bomb (9:10).
4. Ganpuro Vs Tomodachi-gun: Ken Ohka, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Tominaga pinned Abe with the JK (16:25).

The battle for Yukihiro Abe continued in the main event. Tomodachi-gun fought dirty and used referee distractions to their advantage but Ken Ohka kept trying to convince Abe to come to his senses. The distraction allowed Shinichiro Tominaga to catch Abe off guard and hit the JK for the win. Ohka and Minoru Fujita used Abe in a tug of was afterwards but Ohka let go when he realised he was hurting him. Tominaga introduced himself to Fujita as the KAIENTAI Killer because he hates KAIENTAI! He challenged Fujita to a match but Shuichiro Katsumura also demanded to be in the ring with Fujita. It was brought up that Ganbare☆Wrestling is holding two shows in one day on 23rd April. Fujita said he will fight Tominaga on the afternoon show and then Katsumura in a tag match on the evening show. Ohka nominated himself as Katsumura’s tag partner.

Yumehito Imanari wanted to start off his match with Viper on friendly terms so he tried to hug her. Viper refused to let it happen and the match quickly went outside the ring. Viper lifted up Imanari and gave him a Torture Rack by the ring entrance. In the ring she gave him a Bearhug and a Figure 4 Necklock. Imanari’s emotions switched between joy and terror. When Imanari was on the attack he tried a German Suplex but was crushed under Viper’s weight. Despite suffering defeat, Imanari was fine with what happened in the match.

The World’s Strongest Phantom Rumble was filled with oddities and other silly looking wrestlers. Many were just the same four or five wrestlers wearing different costumes including Yumehito Imanari dressed as Superman and somebody in a Spiderman costume. Even J-Soul Pandita III IV got in on the act a few times. Due to a couple of double eliminations and self eliminations the ring was empty when the final entrant Potato Head Sera entered so she was declared the winner. Sera then revealed her real identity, she is Risa Sera from Ice Ribbon.

Enjo-gun entered the ring to the Darth Vader theme song and called themselves the Darth Vader of pro wrestling. They then had an argument with Chikara over Darth Vader. Chikara & Shuichiro Katsumura won the match but brawled with Enjo-gun afterwards.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Ken Ohka
*Ken Ohka will cash in in Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The first Right To Challenge Contract is already being cashed in. Ken Ohka is wasting no time and wants to fight HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title this Saturday. Ohka is not giving HARASHIMA any time to recover from Sumo Hall while he himself got through the show without a scratch. He knows HARASHIMA isn’t 100% and probably has an injured knee or foot from his match with Isami Kodaka. He has all the respect in the world for the champion and they have a strong bond after their match with Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu last year. But his desire to win the KO-D Title again is even stronger.

Daisuke Sasaki nominated The World’s Cutest Tag Team as the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He wants revenge on Candice LeRae for turning down his marriage proposal just to get engaged to someone else afterwards. Sasaki admits he’s thinking with his crotch instead of his head. He even wants to fight LeRae’s fiancée Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi is allowing the title match to happen due to Sasaki’s insistence but did point out the former champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo also want a title rematch.

Turns out there is one more Right To Challenge Contract up for grabs.

In an odd turn of events Super Sasadango Machine wanted to vacate the DDT Extreme Title and reward it to Antonio Honda. Tsurumi asked why and he said he wanted to give the belt to Honda as a lifetime achievement award. His request was refused so he asked if he could lend the belt to Honda instead. When that was turned down he admitted he didn’t want to defend the title until the 20th Anniversary show in Saitama Super Arena next year. Then he admitted he would rather give the belt to Honda instead of losing it to him.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MACHINE GUN O BUPPANASE 2016” Results

February 21, 2016

once-you-pop

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MACHINE GUN O BUPPANASE 2016”, 21/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
122 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Fighting Flames War: Hayato Mashita defeated Shibata with the Muso (4:58).
2. Grudge Panda: Dr. Kirico (Chikara) defeated J-Soul Pandita III IV with the Saber Chop (3:31).
3. Suites In A Cell 3 Way Match ~Imanari And The Chocolate Factory~: Bambi (Whip) defeated Yumehito Imanari (Candy) and Manami Kanda (Bamboo Sword) when Bambi pinned Imanari with the Standing Shining Wizard (11:27).
4. Wrestle Counselling: GENTARO defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Sharpshooter (16:57).
5. Ganpuro-gun Vs Tomodachi-gun ~Declaration Of War~: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Osamu Namiguchi defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Ohka pinned Abe with the Spear Of Flame (20:51).

The two teams in the main event continued brawling after it ended. When the two sides were separated there was a heated argument between Ken Ohka and Minoru Fujita. Ohka threw out a challenge for 29th March: Himself, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga against three members of Tomodachi-gun. If Ohka’s team wins they get to rehabilitate Yukihiro Abe back to normal. Fujita whispered into Abe’s ear that he can become stronger if he beats Ohka. He then asked Ohka if one of his partners could be a beautiful joshi. Ohka accepted. Fujita then for some reason asked if he can vacate one of his chosen partners. Ohka also accepted. Fujita complained about the room smelling like candy and left with the rest of Tomodachi-gun.

The room smelt of candy because of Match #3. Yumehito Imanari covered the ring in potato chips and burst a bag of popcorn on Bambi’s head. He also interrupted the match to give chocolates to Manami Kanda as a late Valentine’s Day gift. Bambi attacked both of them and ate the remaining chocolate. Imanari later bribed Kanda with potato chips but didn’t pay attention to Bambi. He was pinned by Bambi with a Standing Shining Wizard. Kanda distracted herself by picking up pieces of candy from the canvas.

When Match #2 began Dr. Kirico immediately pulled out an injection to use on J-Soul Pandita III IV but the creature knocked it out of his hand. When Kirico began hitting Pandita with Saber Chops it was a clue as to who was under the mask. He unmasked and revealed himself to be Chikara! He then pinned Pandita with the Saber Chop. Chikara apologised to Pandita and then asked if it was a parent. Pandita is part of a wrestling family just like Chikara is so they should work hard together! That’s right, the grandson of Rikidozan just bonded with a panda over their families’ wrestling history.
