Iron Man Update, MC.33 Coming To BASARA, Ganbare Prepares For Korakuen

July 13, 2016

Time for an update on the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s tour of America. When we last left the belt it was being held by Ricochet, you know the guy from that gif? No, not the English fella the other one. Yeah him. Since then the title lineage went like this: Brian Metz, Matt Striker, Cheerleader Melissa (by massage), Matt Cross (via too much food), Brian Cage, Joey Ryan, Laura James (as burlesque luchadora Alacrana Plata #2), Buggy Nova (in a proper wrestling match!), Ryan again (not in a proper wrestling match), Scarlett Bordeaux, Rhyno (traded an autograph for the title) and now Robbie E (his win counts as a Ladder Match). Last one is interesting because it’s a TNA guy beating someone who just appeared on an NXT broadcast. So yeah, this championship of all things is now providing the inter-promotional competition some fans have craved for years.

Ken Ohka is continuing his hard work to make Ganbare☆Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall debut a success. Ideas include different seating layouts including a reserved seat placed inside the ring for the entire show. Ohka was told this was done recently by Kuishinbo Kamen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING but he is not deterred by that. Ohka has hundreds of ideas like having chairs placed in the arena balconies. He thinks they can fill thousands more people that way.

It seems that Yumehito Imanari and Bambi have sorted out their problems and are willing to team together. Imanari is thrilled by this news. This Hardcore match is put together to show Osaka what Ganpuro is all about. Each wrestler will have a weapon with them for the match. Bambi has her whip and Imanari is bringing a lot of candy.

Ohka stormed a Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya earlier this week requesting Emi Sakura to wrestle for Ganpuro in August. Sakura was offended by Ohka’s attitude and turned down the offer. However Sayaka Obihiro took up the offer instead. Ohka wants to make sure Obihiro will be a good enough replacement by putting her in a tryout match at the end of the month.

Mitomi Masayuki is becoming obsessed over Mars Spector. He wants to avenge Shibata’s loss to Spector and is determined to fight him again and again and again until he wins. His stablemate Rainbow Kawamura offered to help. An enemy of Enjo-gun is his enemy too.

Ganbare Books Korakuen, Isami Goes MC.33 Returns, Hiroshi Funds U.S.A

July 8, 2016

ganbare-korakuen

After an intense period of negotiations Ganbare☆Wrestling will soon hold its first show in Korakuen Hall this October! Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari yesterday streamed live on Nico Douga their meeting with the Korakuen manager to book their show. Ohka originally wanted to hold the show on a Sunday but was told every Sunday is booked out for the rest of the year. He was offered Noon on a Saturday but Ohka begged and pleaded with the manager to find him a Sunday spot. The manager discovered there was a cancellation for 2nd October so that day became available. Ohka handed over 500,000 yen to pay for the deposit but was told he was 50,000 yen short. Imanari had another 20,000 and they eventually convinced the reporter and photographer who accompanied them to cough up the remaining cash. That was enough to confirm the spot, noon on 2nd October!

1. FUMA Vs SAGAT
2. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Yusuke Kubo
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

Isami Kodaka made an unexpected decision to pull himself from this show. He has decided to take some time off after failing to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Taking his place is a blast from the past, MC.33 (pronounced MC Sammy). This is a masked wrestler who appeared on the CRUSIER’S GAME brand during the mid-2000s. Kodaka describes him as a legend and is excited to see him in BASARA.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is using his prize winnings from Heaven Summit to fund the return of U.S.A. The brand will takeover one of the Tavern Wrestling tripleshot shows at the beginning of August, specifically the show held on 2nd August.

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~”, 28/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

2. Hardcore Match: Yusuke Kubo Vs SAGAT
3. Hardcore Match: FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and Kotetsu Gundan continues with several singles matches between the two sides. In Saitama it is just regular singles matches but afterwards in Shin-Kiba the matches will become Hardcore.

Ryuichi Sekine now has Hiroshi in his sights. Sekine wants to be the ace of BASARA so obviously the Heaven Summit winner and conqueror of Isami Kodaka is his next target.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title tour of America moved to Des Moines, Iowa last night where Joey Ryan defended the title against Colt Cabana and Chuck Taylor for F1RST Wrestling. Chuck Taylor won the match to become the new champion but then Scott Hall showed up! Taylor got knocked out then Hall beat Ryan in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who should pin Taylor. 2016 wrestling is weird.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “TOMODACHI-GUN BOX OFFICE ~RUBBISH HEAP★WRESTLING RAISING AN ARMY 2ND LEG FUJITA’S MUSIC IS THE WORLD 2016~”, 16/06/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka defeated Chikara with the Spear Of Flame (2:37).
2. Shuichiro Katsumura Imperial Inspection: Dr. Kirico (Takafumi Ito) & American Balloon defeated J-Soul Pandita III IV & Uchu Galaxy Alien Rubbish Heap★Andros when Kirico submitted Andros with a Double Wrist Lock (4:24).
3. Enjo-gun General Vs Veteran Of Mystery: Mars Spector defeated Shibata with the Cross Armbreaker (3:40).
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Rubbish Heap★Wrestling BAD COMMUNICATION Contra BAD COMMUNICATION Loser Banishment 10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari, Shota, Shinichiro Tominaga & Ai Shimizu defeated Minoru Fujita, Hi69, Madoka, Yukihiro Abe & Bambi (26:16).
4a. Rubbish Heap★Wrestling eliminated Shota by Ring Out (3:06).
4b. Minoru Fujita eliminated Ken Ohka with the Tombstone Piledriver (6:35).
4c. Minoru Fujita eliminated Bambi by Ring Out (10:05).

4g. Shinichiro Tominaga eliminated Minoru Fujita by Ring Out (22:01).
4h. Shinichiro Tominaga eliminated Hi69 with a Cradle (26:16).
*Rubbish Heap★Wrestling is prohibited from using “BAD COMMUNICATION – ULTRA Pleasure Style” as a theme song. Hi69 is expelled from Ganbare☆Wrestling.

A high stakes main event was the big story surrounding this show. Tomodachi-gun was in charge and Minoru Fujita used his power to make Ken Ohka wrestle twice, first in the opener and then in the main event. All members of the losing team in the main event would be prohibited from using “BAD COMMUNICATION” as their theme song. Also the last wrestler eliminated would be banished from Ganbare☆Wrestling. Shota was the first elimination. Fujita attacked Ohka with a chair until Daisuke Kiso stopped him. Fujita then gave Ohka a Tombstone and Kiso counted a fast 3 count. He then took off his shirt to reveal a Fujita shirt underneath! Bambi was furious at what she saw and turned on Tomodachi-gun. Fujita gave Bambi the Tombstone and threw her out of the ring. Tomodachi-gun then began to fall apart when Madoka accidentally struck Yukihiro Abe resulting in Abe getting pinned. Madoka was then eliminated at the same time as Yumehito Imanari when Fujita Dropkicked both of them off the apron. Ai Shimizu was the next elimination which meant Shinichiro Tominaga was the last Ganpuro wrestler remaining. Against all odds he was able to knock Fujita over the top rope and then counter a Cross Facelock from Hi69 into a Cradle to win the match! Hi69 is now banished from Ganpuro!

Tominaga praised Hi69 as he left ringside. Madoka then argued with Fujita over Fujita eliminating him. Fujita said it wasn’t a betrayal but a sacrifice to help win the match. Madoka pointed out that they still lost and decided to quit Tomodachi-gun! With both Bambi and Madoka gone Fujita went over to Abe to find some comfort. He told Abe that Tomodachi-gun will have to disband but they will have a singles match together next month as part of Abe’s graduation from the group. Abe bowed to Fujita and offered a handshake. He then hit Fujita in the gut and DDT’d him! Defeated and alone in the ring, Fujita asked to speak with Ohka. He talked about his fights with Ohka over the last year and how no matter the situation he put in front of him, Ohka always worked hard. Fujita asked if he was a fool all this time? Ohka gave an emotional response and tearfully told Fujita they can fix their friendship. They can fix it by having a wrestling match on 30th July.

Even with some dirty help from Mitomi Masayuki, Shibata was easily defeated by the Mars Spector. When Shibata knocked over the referee, Masayuki came in and Low Blowed Spector. The mysterious wrestler recovered and got rid of Masayuki with Middle Kicks. He then pounded on Shibata before tapping him out.

Unable to wrestle, Shuichiro Katsumura appeared at the show walking on crutches. His role was to watch a tag match between a former American sumo wrestler, an evil doctor, a 4th generation monster whose father was put down by said evil doctor and an alien that threatened to destroy Earth in 3 minutes. The evil doctor turned out to be Takafumi Ito in disguise. He eventually got rid of the disguise and won the match. Ito then yelled at Katsumura to heal quickly so they can fight.

KAI was unable to appear because of a rib injury so Chikara needed a new opponent. Minoru Fujita made Ken Ohka wrestle him in a bid to tire Ohka out before the main event. Ohka quickly beat Chikara then said KAI Vs Chikara will happen in Ganpuro someday.

So to teach him a lesson LiLiCo puts her title on the line so she can crush him in the ring and create some happy memories with her boyfriend Mizuki Watase.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “AUTOMATIC 2016” Results

May 15, 2016

ohka-kai

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.
