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.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is celebrating its third anniversary with two shows on the 23rd April.

Ai Shimizu approached Ken Ohka directly to ask if she could join Ganpuro. The former Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler has attended shows in the past and sees Ganpuro as the next place for her career. 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.

Ohka Desires Title, Sasaki Desires Candice, Sasadango Desires Not Losing

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.

One last warm up match for HARASHIMA and Shigehiro Irie before they fight over the No. 1 Contendership.

4. Saki Akamiya Vs Poison KANNA (w/ Poison Sawada JULIE)

Marika Kobashi will miss the show because she is busy studying for her junior high school exams.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MACHINE GUN O BUPPANASE 2016”, 21/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Wrestle Counselling: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO
2. Fighting Flames War: Shibata Vs Hayato Mashita
3. Grudge Panda: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Dr. Kirico
4. Ganpuro Terrace House 3 Way Match -Public And Private Confusion-: Yumehito Imanari Vs Bambi Vs Manami Kanda
5. Ganpuro-gun Vs Tomodachi-gun ~Declaration Of War~: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Osamu Namiguchi Vs Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe

So far Dr. Kirico has been either Atsushi Maruyama or Shuichiro Katsumura hidden under the mask. I’m not sure if J-Soul Pandita III IV is aware that it’s a different person everytime, it probably just sees the evil doctor that killed one of its kin two years ago.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2016”, 28/02/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark: Mizuki Watase (c) & Kota Umeda Vs Hiroshi Fukuda & Guanchulo

7. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Final: HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie

The DNA team haven’t convinced T2Hide that they deserve their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot. Kazuki Hirata pinned Kouki Iwasaki with his Miracle Cradle in their non-title trios match. However the DNA team were able to beat Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi in a separate trios match the day before.

LiLiCo will be in attendance. She is still the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. I’m certain we’ll be introduced to her partners for Sumo Hall. Who could she get to face the Kawaii Connection? Should she fight fire with fire in this situation?

No word yet on how many prizes will be on offer but the winner of the Rumble section will get a guaranteed KO-D Openweight Title match. The other prizes are usually Money In The Bank style contracts.

Ken Ohka and The World’s Cutest Tag Team will all be wrestling on the show.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “TOMODACHI-GUN PRODUCE NEW YEAR SPECIAL BOX OFFICE ~ RUBBISH HEAP☆WRESTLING 2016” Results

January 24, 2016

tomodachi-backfire

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “TOMODACHI-GUN PRODUCE NEW YEAR SPECIAL BOX OFFICE ~ RUBBISH HEAP☆WRESTLING 2016 (INNOCENT WORLD 2016)”, 24/01/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
146 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. We’re The Heroes Of Ganpro! New Year Flames 3 Way: Haruka Kato (w/ Tomoya Kawamura) defeated Shibata (w/ Tomoya Kawamura) and Mitomi Masayuki (w/ Tomoya Kawamura) when Kato pinned Shibata with a Diving Body Attack (6:53).
2. New Year Spectacle Cottage Tag Match: Dr. Kirico (Shuichiro Katsumura) & Shibaten defeated Mr. No & J-Soul Pandita III IV when Kirico submitted Pandita with the Ninja Choke (9:18).
3. New Year Hidden Ball Special Tag Match: Madoka & PSYCHO defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Tigger Bedscene when PSYCHO pinned Bedscene with the High Fly Bomb (15:18).
4. New Year Dream Handicap Hardcore “Carrot And Stick” Match ~ Imanari Cinematographer Lottery~: Bambi defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Standing Shining Wizard (8:03).
5. New Year Lottery 5 Way Match: Ken Ohka defeated Minoru Fujita, Hi69, Yukihiro Abe and Osamu Namiguchi when Ohka pinned Abe with the Spear Of Flame (10:30).

Against all odds Ken Ohka managed to spoil Tomodachi-gun’s party and win the 5 Way main event. The plan was for all of Tomodachi-gun to gang up on Ohka and beat him down 4 on 1. However Osamu Namiguchi had other ideas and tried to pin his own stablemates because the match was still all against each other. Minoru Fujita tried to keep things under control but his plan fell apart when Namiguchi helped Ohka fight the rest of Tomodachi-gun. They both hit a Spear on Fujita and Hi69 then Ohka Speared Yukihiro Abe for the three count. Namiguchi and Fujita brawled after the match and Fujita kicked Namiguchi out of Tomodachi-gun. Ohka grabbed a mic and said he wants to bring Abe back to Ganbare☆Wrestling. He also offered to team with Namiguchi again but Namiguchi declined and left ringside.

Both Bambi and Yumehito Imanari were given a specific weapon for their Hardcore match. Bambi had her whip and Imanari was given a bag of candy. He tried to hit Bambi with the bag but was whipped over and over instead. Bambi force fed him the candy after she won the match.

Madoka’s mystery partner turned out to be PSYCHO! They easily defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Tigger Bedscene and PSYCHO was welcomed into Tomodachi-gun with open arms. PSYCHO was given a Tomodachi-gun T-shirt but he threw it down and walked away. Madoka then tried to act like PSYCHO wasn’t his friend and left the ring embarrassed.

During Match #2 Dr. Kirico unmasked himself to reveal it was Shuichiro Katsumura! With an assist from Shibaten he was able to submit J-Soul Pandita III IV. Katsumura apologised for sneaking onto the show in disguise and he then pulled out a piece of paper that had 宣戦布告 (Declaration of war) written on it. Until now he watched the feud between Ganpuro and Tomodachi-gun in silence. He now has his sights set on Fujita!

Tomodachi-gun claimed that the results of last month’s Ganbare☆Wrestling Grand Prix Awards were all mistakes. Here are the correct award results according to Tomodachi-gun.

MVP: Tomodachi-gun

Skills Award: Yukihiro Abe

Fighting Spirit Award: Minoru Fujita

Distinguished Service Medal: Osamu Namiguchi

Joshi Grand Prize: Bambi

Best Tag: Hi69 & Madoka

Rookie Award: None
