May 6, 2019

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MIRACLE EARTH 2019”, 06/05/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
145 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Team Irootoko: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Shota Nakagawa when Ishii submitted Masayuki with the Double Arm Neck Lock (10:00).
2. GOLDEN GANBARE 2019: Miyako Matsumoto & Makoto defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Matsumoto pinned HARUKAZE with the Miyako Clutch (8:12).
3. Momota Parent And Child Vs Naoshi Sano Round 2: Mitsuo Momota defeated Naoshi Sano with the Saber Chop from Chikara (8:21).
4. Shota The Brutal Wind That Blows: Shota, Guts Ishijima & Masked Mystery defeated Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shuhei Washida when Ishijima submitted Washida with the WAR Special (17:07).
5. Dangan Senshi, Attack On Ganpro!: Masato Tanaka defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Sliding D (15:38).

Masato Tanaka thanked Yumehito Imanari for inviting him to wrestle in Ganbare☆Wrestling today. He brought up memories of Imanari training in one of the ZERO1 dojos long ago. Imanari explained to the fans that although he was never registered to ZERO1 he did get permission from them to train in their dojo. The two agreed to having another match sometime and Imanari says he is now a student of the DANGAN GYM.

Normally Shota is a Ganpro wrestler but today he represented GUTS along with Guts Ishijima & Masked Mystery. They were victorious over the Ganpro side but Ken Ohka felt something was off about Ishijima’s intentions. Ohka is trying to make pro wrestling a major sport and he wants to unify the indies to do it. But Guts World has closed down and it’s replacement Pro Wrestling GOING-UP didn’t last either. Now that Guts Ishijima is in Ganbare☆Wrestling will he quit here too? Just what is it about Ishijima and wrestling promotions that involve the letter G? Ishijima said he loves indie wrestling and he will be the one to unify it. He promised to come back to Ganpro next month to continue the rebirth of GUTS.

Chikara stood in his Mitsuo Momota’s corner so he could his father face Naoshi Sano one on one. But during the match Sano went out of the ring and dared Chikara to hit him. When Chikara wouldn’t, Sano knocked him down. He then made Momota hit the referee by accident with a Lariat. When that happened Sano brought in a chair but Chikara cut him off with the Saber Chop, allowing Momota to pin him when the ref recovered.

Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase will take place on 2nd June.

7. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Mike Bailey & MAO

With Hikaru Shida completing the team, Saki Akai is now ready to challenge the Sendai Girls. Shida wrestles in Sendai Girls herself so she is very familiar with Meiko Satomura, Chihiro Hashimoto & DASH Chisako. The one who wants to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles the most is Asuka because she wants to wear the title belts like an accessory. The way the team is laid out has Akai as the leader, Asuka as the sub-leader and Shida as the “New Member”.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASAKI DARUMA~”, 12/05/2019

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2019 THE FINAL!!”, 19/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. King Of DDT 2019 – Final: X Vs X

The official news update for this show is Maku Donaruto will be there! The unofficial news is Keisuke Ishii wants to cash in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet on this show so he can face Endo for the KO-D Title. Due to the new rules that are meant to encourage surprise cash ins, DDT is currently in a position where they cannot promote Endo Vs Ishii for now and have to act like it won’t be happening.

DDT “GOLDEN DDT THEATER 2019”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Akito

Something that Antonio Honda and Akito have in common is they both think their biggest career highlight involved the DDT Extreme Title. So it’s fitting the two will fight over it.

DDT “WRESTLE MATSUYAMANIA 2019”, 02/06/2019
Ehime World Trade Center

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Maku Donaruto
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

During a press conference yesterday Endo was supposed to select one of the seven losers in the King Of DDT 1st Round to defend the KO-D Title against. However he struggled to remember any of the wrestlers he could choose from. Hisaya Imabayashi listed the names and Endo commented after each one. Kota Umeda? He’s the guy who always hurts his knees. MAO? He’s a fucked up bad guy. Mike Bailey? He’s that guy who can’t do anything without MAO. HARASHIMA? Endo hates him. Kazuki Hirata? Endo would choose him but Hirata is already wrestling for a championship at the show. Yuki Ueno? He was thrown away by his friend. Yukio Sakaguchi? Beaten by Daisuke Sasaki and he won’t stop crying about it.

What Endo didn’t realise was that Sakaguchi was in the building and overheard Endo’s comments. He crashed the press conference and attacked Endo, beating him down! Sakaguchi used Endo’s “Two types of people in the world” motto against him and said he is now on his kill list! When Sakaguchi stormed out of the room, Endo demanded that he be his opponent for the KO-D Title match! This won’t be a pro wrestling match, Endo says he will kill Sakaguchi!

DDT “LAST HEISEI, FIRST REIWA PRO WRESTLING” Results

May 1, 2019

DDT “LAST HEISEI, FIRST REIWA PRO WRESTLING”, 30/04/2019
Tokyo DDT Pro Wrestling Ochanomizu Dojo
0 Fans

1. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA, Fuminori Abe, Ken Ohka & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Tetsuya Endo, Antonio Honda, Ryota Nakatsu, Shuichiro Katsumura & Miyu Yamashita when Takeshita pinned Honda with the Fable (18:28).

DDT wanted to celebrate the end of Japan’s Heisei era and the beginning of the Reiwa era so they brought together the best of the best to their new dojo in Ochanomizu. The plan was to do a special 10-Man Tag match that started before the clock struck midnight and ended in the early hours of the morning. On one side was the team of champions from each brand in the DDT family. We had the KO-D Openweight Champion Tetsuya Endo and DDT Extreme Champion Antonio Honda representing DDT. BASARA was represented by the Union MAX Champion Ryota Nakatsu. The Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shuichiro Katsumura represented Ganbare☆Wrestling and the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion Miyu Yamashita was there for Tokyo Joshi Pro. The other team was made up of established non-champions from the same brands. There was Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA for DDT, Fuminori Abe for BASARA, Ken Ohka for Ganpro and finally Yuka Sakazaki for Tokyo Joshi.

Before the match began the champion team posed for a group photo, which annoyed their opponents. Honda quickly tripped on the ropes and injured his leg. He was about to declare his retirement due to injury but first wanted to tell his story of Gongitsune. It was all a ruse for Honda to poke everyone on the other team in the eyes. When the match got going we got plenty of unusual pairings like Endo against Sakazaki, Yamashita against Ohka and Nakatsu against Takeshita. The ending came when Abe stopped Honda’s Diving Fist Drop with a Rabbit Punch. Ohka hit Honda with the Fire Spear, Sakazaki landed the Magical Girl Splash and HARASHIMA followed up with a Swan Dive Body Press. With Honda all but out, Takeshita finished him off with the Fable to win the last match of Heisei and the first match of Reiwa!

Endo didn’t want to stick around afterwards and quickly left the ring when the match was over. The rest stayed behind and gave out thank you messages of support to the audience watching on DDT UNIVERSE.

1. SHINE Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Allysin Kay

When Miyu Yamashita won the SHINE Title in New York earlier this month, she invited the former champion Allysin Kay to come to Japan for a championship rematch. Yamashita won the title by referee stoppage when she put Kay in a Modified Cobra Clutch. Kay thinks she was robbed of the title because she never gave up. So she is taking up Yamashita’s offer to have the rematch in Japan. She promises that this time there won’t be any funny business over the result.

5. Special Bonus Track – 1 Vs 13 Handicap Elimination Special Rule Match: Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki, Shuichiro Katsumura, Minoru Fujita, Mitsuo Momota, Yuna Manase, Yumehito Imanari, Shota, Cherry, HARUKAZE, Moeka Haruhi, Gota Ihashi & Shuhei Washida defeated Ken Ohka (7:47).

5c. Ken Ohka eliminated Shuichiro Katsumata by Ring Out.
5d. Ken Ohka eliminated Minoru Fujita by Ring Out.

5l. Ken Ohka eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out.
5m. HARUKAZE eliminated Ken Ohka by Ring Out.

The main event lasted all thirty minutes and ended without a winner. Still, Keisuke Ishii was happy with the result and said it was great to make friends with the other wrestlers today. Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki thought they had the match won when they isolated Minoru Fujita. They hit him with the Kneel Kick, a Dragon Suplex, a Tiger Suplex and then a Moonsault but Fujita kicked out! Shuichiro Katsumura then trapped Iwasaki in the Cross Armbreaker when the bell rang to end the match in a draw. Fujita didn’t want himself or Katsumata to raise their hands along with Ishii & Iwasaki because he saw it as an admittance of defeat. Katsumura however convinced Fujita to join in.

The show ended with a 13 Vs 1 Handicap Match between Ken Ohka against everybody else on the card. Ohka was able to eliminated mostly everyone by throwing them out of the ring but HARUKAZE hid until he was the last one left and eliminated him from behind. She won the prize pack of melons that was originally meant to be given to the winners of the main event tag match. Ohka was given a lethally spicy chili pepper as a booby prize.

“Sunrise”, “GRAND SWORD”, “J”, “HOLD OUT” and “Subconsciousness” were the songs played during the Lariat Pro Wrestling match. The last one isn’t associated with Lariats but that didn’t stop Yuna Manase from doing the pose and screaming “Yeaoh!”

Ohka wanted to do the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex in the joshi match but his own tag partner Moeka Haruhi stopped him because “it is Miss Toyota’s move.” Haruhi then kicked Ohka below the belt and HARUKAZE pinned him with a School Boy. Haruhi, HARUKAZE and Cherry kicked Ohka out of the ring afterwards but he had to get back in because the Lariat match was next.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING – WRESTLE & POCHA”, 14/04/2019
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Special Pocha Libre ~First Impact By Pretty Pochadoras~: Beauty Suzuki defeated Da Pump Matsumoto with a School Boy (7:52).
2. Second Pocha Libre Match ~ Pocchari-gun Vs Mad Slender-gun Innocence RIZAP War: Miss Mongolia & Busses Mongolia defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE whem Miss pinned HARUKAZE with the Senton (11:37).
3. Beyond The Chubby ~ The Value Of Mixed Public-Private Road: Yumehito Imanari defeated Yuna Manase with the Chubby Knee Kick (15:35).

In a show to celebrate big women, Yumehito Imanari booked a match between himself and Yuna Manase in the main event. At the start of the show Manase returned to her previous idol name Yuna Suzuki for a cheerleader dance. When she finished the dance she shook Imanari’s hand then gave him a Stunner. She then took off the costume and told Imanari she was going to take their match seriously.

Imanari described his match with Manase as the best feeling. When Manase lost she realised that she will never be the ace for companies like Tokyo Joshi Pro, Stardom, Actwres girl’Z or even this Pocchari Joshi offshoot Imanari has created. She is comfortable with her body size but she wanted to win so badly today. Imanari cheered Manase up by telling her how loved she is by everyone in the audience! Everyone in the show got together and sang “Let It Snow” while confetti shot everywhere. When it was over Imanari said everyone loves Manase because she is her own personality and that is what makes her an ace.

Nonoko was part of the show performing with comedy idol Metropoli-chan V. She also announced Manase’s ring entrance.
