Otani approached Ganpro asking to get another match with Shota, this time for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Ganpro is giving him what he wants and even provided the tag partners for him.

The Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title gets its own all star match with the current champion as well as previous champions teaming up against each other. The theme is both teams have a combined 11 title defences between them. Ken Ohka has 3 defences and Isami Kodaka has 8. Keisuke Ishii has 6 defences and Shuichiro Katsumura has 5.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I DO NOT NEED A COMIC MAGAZINE! 2019” Results

September 28, 2019

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I DO NOT NEED A COMIC MAGAZINE! 2019”, 28/09/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
151 Fans

1. Itabashi Three Major Singles Match ~ Right Knee ACL Rupture: Shota defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with an Inside Cradle from a Fisherman Suplex (5:31).
2. Ganbare☆Joshi Vs FMW Joshi All Out Battle: Miss Mongol & Miss Koharu defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Mongol pinned HARUKAZE with the Running Senton (10:44).
3. Itabashi Three Major Singles Match ~ Toryumon 2nd Class Vs Tama Art University Information Design Course 9th Class: Kenichiro Arai defeated Yumehito Imanari by TKO with (12:32).
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Irie-gun: Shigehiro Irie, Mizuki Watase & Ultra Soki defeated Ken Ohka, Kouki Iwasaki & Shuhei Washida when Irie pinned Ohka with the Beast Bomber (22:32).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Itabashi Three Major Singles Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Shuichiro Katsumura (c) with the Kneel Kick (18:56).
*Shuichiro Katsumura fails in V6. Keisuke Ishii becomes the 29th Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

Keisuke Ishii had to throw every big move he could think of to beat Shuichiro Katsumura. He used a Tiger Suplex into the turnbuckles, hit him in midair with the Kneel Kick when Katsumura jumped off the top rope, hit a Running Knee Kick and tried the Double Arm Clutch Driver. Katsumura was finally defeated when Ishii hit one last Kneel Kick.

Ishii said he could feel Katsumura’s desire to wrestle in Sumo Hall but in the end it is Ishii who will defend the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title there. Ishii wants to make Ganbare☆Wrestling more appealing than DDT and BASARA. This claim attracted the attention of Fuminori Abe! He wanted to show off his desire too so he sang to everyone. He then asked Ishii if he could be his challenger at Sumo Hall. Abe revealed that BASARA wants to clear out all of the championships in the DDT family by the time BASARA splits off into independence.

The Ganpro team didn’t waste any time bringing the fight to Irie-gun. They launched an attack during the in-ring introductions. But Irie-gun held together until it was time to launch the counter attack. Mizuki Watase & Ultra Soki held the Ganpro team back while Shigehiro Irie smashed Ken Ohka with the Beast Bomber. Irie asked Ohka afterwards if he was frustrated because he is no longer the energetic wrestler he used to be. Irie said they are on different paths but this won’t be their last battle. He wants to fight Ohka again when he gets stronger.

The big singles match between Yumehito Imanari and Kenichiro Arai ended in controversy. Arai reversed a Figure 4 Leg Lock and Imanari had no way to break out of it. Arai’s cornerman Shota grabbed the towel from Imanari’s cornerman Shinichiro Tominaga and threw it into the ring behind the referee’s back. The referee thought that Tominaga threw in the towel and declared Arai the winner. Imanari wasn’t upset. In fact he was impressed to witness Arai being the wrestling master that he is! Arai didn’t know what to think of Imanari’s attitude and left the ring. Imanari treated this as a moral victory because he now has Arai’s attention.

On paper the Union MAX Title match just added is a DDT Vs BASARA contest. However Masahiro Takanashi wants the match to just be about himself facing Ryuichi Sekine for the title. This isn’t about promotions or having allies like Sento Minzoku. It’s simply one on one to see who is better.

Unfortunately it has been confirmed that Kazusada Higuchi and Natsumi Maki are both unable to participate on the show because of their injuries.

Autographs and ticket holders from Reika Saiki will be sold at the event with proceeds going towards her recovery from a fractured jaw. However Saiki herself will not be at the event. She tweeted her appreciation at Tokyo Joshi for putting together something to help her.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Itabashi Three Major Singles Match: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Whoever leaves the show as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is guaranteed to defend it in Sumo Hall this November. Keisuke Ishii was the champion before Shuichiro Katsumura won it off him back in January. Since then Katsumura has defended it five times. If he wins here then he will tie Ishii’s amount of successful defences.

Just to be clear, Kenichiro Arai is the Toryumon graduate and Yumehito Imanari is the art student.

Shota and Shinichiro Tominaga face each other in a battle between damaged ACLs.

Originally Koharu Hinata was booked for the show but she is now unable to appear. In a completely unrelated matter Miss Koharu became available so she takes her place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sakisama has an appreciation for other beautiful people which is why she has at least a little respect for Yuki Kamifuku. Maybe she would have the same for Mina Shirakawa if Shirakawa ever stops trying to rap. But then again rapping is how the Cat’s Pye duo got their Princess Tag Team Titles shot.

Nakajima’s excursion to Mexico with CMLL will be over by the time this show takes place. No word yet on if she will be on this show but it’s likely. Tokyo Joshi have confirmed she will not be on the 9th, 10th and 16th November shows.

The Princess Of Princess Title match for the show is set. Nakajima wanted Yuka Sakazaki to be her opponent. This match takes place two days before Nakajima goes to Mexico on her excursion so she is extra motivated to win and bring the title with her to CMLL.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MOSQUITO ON THE TENTH FLOOR 2019” Results

September 14, 2019

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MOSQUITO ON THE TENTH FLOOR 2019”, 14/09/2019
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
113 Fans

1. Ryotaro Watanabe’s Most Challenging Battle: Naoshi Sano defeated Ryotaro Watanabe with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:04).
2. Ganjo Vs 2AW Out Battle: Bambi & Ayame Sasamura defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Bambi pinned HARUKAZE with a Lariat (9:53).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga Return Match ~Old & New Ganpro Human Intersection~: Keisuke Ishii & Shuhei Washida defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Ishii pinned Tominaga with the Double Arm Clutch Driver (14:12).
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Show Me The Meaning & Pride Of Ganbare☆Wrestling: Kenichiro Arai, Masked Mystery & Shota (c) defeated Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol when Mystery pinned Imanari with the Choke Slam (13:29).
*V1 for Real GUTS Army.
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – 4 Years Of Memories In Oji: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Key Lock (20:15).
*V5 for Shuichiro Katsumura.

With five defences after today, Shuichiro Katsumura is ready to go into Sumo Hall this November as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion. He said that ever since he won the title from Keisuke Ishii, he has been defending the title as a representative of Ganbare☆Wrestling. At Sumo Hall he will show everyone the strength of Ganpro! However Ishii came out and challenged Katsumura to a title match, thinking he should be the Ganpro wrestler holding the belt going into Sumo Hall. Their title match will happen on 28th September.

The GPW trio failed to win back the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles from Real GUTS Army. A frustrated Ken Ohka complained about the champions cheating during the match but Yumehito Imanari was eager to continue wrestling. He told Kenichiro Arai that he is persistent and wants a singles match against him on 28th September. Arai agreed. He has faced many kinds of wrestlers but Imanari is a new type he has discovered. DDT always ignored Arai but somehow Arai has become addicted to wrestling inside a DDT related ring.

14 months after his last match in Ganpro, Shinichiro Tominaga returned from his long absence. He put up a good fight against Ishii but his Jumping Knee Kick was blocked. Ishii stunned him with three Baseball Chops and got the win with a Double Arm Clutch Driver. Tominaga said it was his second match against Ishii, the first one happened around eight years ago. He said next time he will win! But first he’ll focus on getting stronger.

Ryotaro Watanabe is calling Naoshi Sano his “final” opponent. He doesn’t mean his last opponent, Sano is supposed to be his most challenging one. So he’s more like Watanabe’s final boss.

At the beginning of the show Mitomi Masayuki held a Q&A session with the Ganpro fan club. He claims to have gotten huge investments for his new P.P.P. Tokyo promotion.

Ohka would have loved to be part of “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2019” in Tsurumi on 17th November but he is already booked for a show happening in his hometown of Toyama that day. It was his high school dream to participate in a Koshien tournament.

DDT “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2019”, 01/09/2019
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya Vs Cody Hall, Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Osaka Octopus Cup Battle Royal: Puma King (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Mad Paulie Vs Saki Akai Vs Asuka Vs Yuni

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Jiro Kuroshio & Kazusada Higuchi
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

The Recycling Death Match will involve weapons and items used in previous DDT and Ganbare☆Wrestling matches that were just left lying around in storage afterwards. An example was used by Sanshiro Takagi when he kept a chair he used at the TAKAYAMANIA show from earlier this week. Ohka’s example is the jacket and ten gallon hat he wore during his absence from Ganpro shows last year.

Cody Hall is the mystery wrestler in the opener. He met Antonio Honda and got along with him because the Gongitsune hand gesture resembles the Wolfpac gesture that Cody’s dad Scott Hall is known for.

The campsite match this year also serves as a preview for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!”. Every team represents a different brand. DDT has HARASHIMA, Honda & Kazusada Higuchi on one team and Takeshita, MAO & Ueno on another. BASARA is sending Isami Kodaka, FUMA & SAGAT rather than wrestlers from just one unit. Last but not least Tokyo Joshi Pro has the newly formed Cat’s Pye squad taking part.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryuichi Sekine (c) Vs SAGAT

SAGAT pinned and eliminated Ryuichi Sekine at this week’s Shinkiba show. That is enough of a claim for him to get the next Union MAX Title shot. SAGAT has challenged for the title once before, losing to the previous champion Ryota Nakatsu last November.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP 2019”, 29/09/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: Jiro Kuroshio (c) Vs HARASHIMA Vs Tetsuya Endo

The grudge between HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo has gotten both of them a title match. They wanted the next shot at the DDT Extreme Title but got in each other’s way. Jiro Kuroshio doesn’t want to wait for a single challenger to be determined so he decided to face both of them at the same time.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ 1 -DDT SPECIAL EDITION-”, 20/10/2019
Tokyo Belle Epoque Beauty School 2nd School Hall

1. Plump BOYZ: Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. MAO UK Expedition BOYZ Send Off Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs MAO
3. Yukihero Pro Wrestling Collaboration Match: Shunma Katsumata & Mizuki Watase Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hiroshi Yamato

The BOYZ brand is getting a fresh start under Akito’s management. Wrestlers booked on the first show will also be appearing at the SHIBUYA FASHION AWARD-BE Vint-Age 2019 festival the same day to promote a fashion brand called Yukihero Pro Wrestling. The main event will feature the wrestlers involved wearing costumes from that clothing line.

Akito doesn’t remember ever seeing MAO wrestle Takeshita in a singles match so he decided to book it before MAO’s excursion. Kouki Iwasaki is being booked on BOYZ because Akito wants to see him interact with DDT wrestlers more often. Higuchi and Yuki Iino are also being booked despite their alliance to the YaroZ brand. Akito believes there are women at these shows who find those kind of men attractive too. Akito plans to present them in a way that makes them more suitable for the BOYZ brand. DAMNATION wrestlers are disallowed except for Nobuhiro Shimatani because he works under Akito at the Drop Kick Bar.

Ganbare☆Wrestling: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii, Shuichiro Katsumura, Kouki Iwasaki, Shota, Shuhei Washida, HARUKAZE

Other: Kenny Omega, Riho, Jiro Kuroshio, Chris Brookes, Asuka, Hiroshi Yamato, Yasu Urano, Minoru Fujita, Miss Mongolia

81 wrestlers in total have been booked for the show and each promotion’s main championship will be defended in their own matches.

Kenny Omega returns to wrestle in DDT after a five year absence. A lot has changed since then but for now the people he wanted in his match are his biggest rival (Honda), his first tag partner (Riho, not “him”) and the wrestler who possibly might have caught his attention the most (Miyu Yamashita). Will there be more coming out of this? Wouldn’t be a party without surprises, would it?
