5. Special Tag Match: Shota & Tomoya Kawamura defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Kawamura pinned Imanari with a Moonsault (14:59).

The last Ganbare☆Wrestling show of the year continued the Ganpuro Vs Union Pro rivalry in the main event. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari stood their ground against the invaders Shota & Tomoya Kawamura. All four brawled around ringside before settling inside the ring. Imanari took a beating but kept himself fired up by yelling “I do not lose!” Unfotunately for him Kawamura put him away with a Moonsault.

Chikara and Kazuhiko Ogasawara brawled with each other after the semi-main event. They had to be pulled apart.

Yukihiro Abe was left frustrated with his loss to GENTARO. After the match GENTARO tried to give him encouragement but Abe left the ring in silence. However Abe would return at the end of the show inspired by Ohka & Imanari’s performance in the main event. He and Ohka challenged Shota & Tomoya Kawamura to a match on 8th February.

After beating Tiger Bed Scene in a match, Madoka took his escort girls. Mai Chusonji & Kaori Masukoji were happy to be at the winner’s side.

Angela Ami was taken out of the show when she was diagnosed with acute bronchitis earlier today. She was replaced by REINA wrestler Makoto. Yumehito Imanari still wanted to use the Angela Aki gimmick so he turned Makoto into Angela Mako. She and Miyako Matsumoto both wrestled in Angela Aki style glasses but they kept on getting knocked or thrown off during the match. Imanari got angry at the disrespect the women showed towards the glasses and attacked both of them, forcing the match to end without a winner. Both Makoto and Matsumoto kicked Imanari in the face and left the ring. When Imanari recovered he announced that Angela Ami will go back to being Manami Koda and will face Kana on 8th February.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 8” Results

November 17, 2014

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 8”, 16/11/2014
West Chofu Martial Arts Arena
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Origin Regression ~The Student Wrestler~: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tiger Bed Scene with a Face Lock (6:58).
2. URRC Round 2 – Mixed Match Super Fight: Yuji Kito defeated Manami Koda with the Clothesline From Kudzu (9:18).
3. Special Super Mixed Match: Madoka & Aoi Ishibashi defeated Yoshihiro Horaguchi & Koharu Hinata when Madoka pinned Horaguchi with the Ranhyei (10:14).
4. WRESTLE-a-nation ~Hong Kong International Police Man Comeback~: Choun-Shiryu defeated Hong Kong International Police Man and Chikara when Police Man gave up after the Chinese Gory Bomb (10:14).
5. On The Other Side Of The Mind EPISODE 1 ~Yukihiro I~: Yukihiro Abe defeated Yumehito Imanari with the AOISHODO (10:41).
6. GanPro Revolution??: Shota & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Ken Ohka & Osamu Namiguchi when Shota pinned Namiguchi with the Frog Splash (14:27).

It has always been an uphill battle for Ken Ohka. From his days as the Eternal Young Lion to the hero of Ganbare☆Wrestling, there is always a tough challenge in his path. Right now Ohka is getting into a violent feud with his former friend Shota who sided with another enemy Mitomi Masayuki. Ohka’s latest plan of teaming with his arch rival Osamu Namiguchi failed. It almost worked, Namiguchi had Shota pinned with a Fisherman Suplex but Masayuki pulled the referee out of the ring. Shota recovered and hit a Frog Splash for the unexpected victory. Ohka was left in a bloody mess but challenged Shota & Masayuki to another match on 28th December, this time with Yumehito Imanari as his partner.

GENTARO was pretty enthusiastic to see Imanari take on Yukihiro Abe. It was Abe’s first match in four years and he earned the victory. GENTARO challenged Abe to a match and it was accepted for 28/12.

The returning Hong Kong International Police Man wrestled with a neck brace during the 3 Way Match. His neck injury was so bad that he submitted during a pinfall after Choun-Shiryu gave him the Chinese Gory Bomb. As a result, Shiryu got to unmask Police Man. To the surprise of no one, it was Atsushi Maruyama. Actually that’s a lie, Shiryu was actually stunned when he found out who it was. He never expected it to be Maruyama because he knew Maruyama was out of action with a neck injury. Police Man denied he was Maruyama and demanded proof. He then said he will leave and never return.

When Manami Koda lost her URRC match again, Imanari had some ideas to help her improve. He gave her a pair of black rimmed glasses and said she looks like the singer Angela Aki. He told her to wear the glasses for her next match and that her new idol name is Angela Ami.

Shota believes he and Mitomi Masayuki share something in common. They both fight with a sense of crisis. He wants to create something new and start a revolution in Ganpuro.

Former DDT wrestler Yukihiro Abe has come to Ganpuro. He and Yumehito Imanari reunited after last seeing each other 4 years ago when Imanari directed a documentary about Abe. When Ken Ohka found out, he was so excited he made Imanari Vs Abe for this show.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 7” Results

October 17, 2014

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 7”, 17/10/2014
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
75 Fans

1. URRC Special Tag Match: Hamuko Hoshi & Kurumi defeated Aoi Ishibashi & Manami Koda when Kurumi pinned Koda with a Diving Body Press (8:20).
2. Special Recruit Match: Yuji Kito defeated Tiger Bed Scene with the BALS (11:40).
3. Mr. Showtime Is Back!! Shota Ganbare☆Wrestling Comeback: Shota Vs Madoka ended in a Double Pin Draw (8:54).
4. No DQ Match: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura when Imanari pinned Kawamura with the Headlock Driver (13:23).
5. This Is Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling: Osamu Namiguchi defeated Ken Ohka with the Lanakila-X (11:56).

Even though they teamed together to face common enemies, Ken Ohka and Osamu Namiguchi became enemies once more. Namiguchi blocked the Spear Of Fire and won with the Lanakila-X. After the match Namiguchi called Ohka a dickward but promised they would have another match again in the future. Their moment was interrupted when Mitomi Masayuki ran into the ring with a chair and attacked both men. The returning Shota came to the rescue but the used the chair on Ohka! When Shota left, Ohka was reduced to tears by the betrayal until Namiguchi slapped some sense into him.

A No DQ match was a necessary stipulation for Power Of Dreams Vs Union Sekigun. The two teams fought to a no contest a month ago and had to be pulled apart. Chairs and chains caused blood to be spilled. Chikara was very effective with his chopping attacks, even using the move to smack the chair into his opponents while they held it. Yumehito Imanari could not contain his joy after he pinned Tomoya Kawamura with the Headlock Driver. He told the Union wrestlers that Ganpuro is a magnetic field that keeps drawing them in and he will be in the ring waiting for them.

The injured Hong Kong International Police Man appeared to explain why he was unable to wrestle today. He came to Japan wanting to show off the Hong Kong police force but he injured himself while chasing a criminal. When he caught up to the criminal he tried to Brainbuster him but it was reversed, causing the injury. He apologised but his hat and sunglasses suddenly fell off as he bowed. Police Man was revealed to be Atsushi Maruyama, master of disguise! Maruyama apologised like he always does and said he will never return, like he always does.

A blunder from Shota ruined his comeback match. He had Madoka pinned with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch but his shoulders were also touching the canvas. The ref counted the pin for both wrestlers and as a result it was a draw.

Yumehito Imanari was excited to introduce the Ultimate Reverse RIZAP Championship, an idol project for chubby joshi wrestlers. He came up with the idea two months ago because he thinks advertisements for diets like RIZAP which show skinny women are all a “cock and ball story” and he wants to support women to be who they want to be. He was impressed with the tag team match involving the four participants, now it was time to find an ace for the project. Aoi Ishibashi and Kurumi both rejected his request. Ishibashi thought it was tasteless and Kurumi said she is just going through a growth phase. Hamuko Hoshi accepted because she wanted to be a proud role model for her child. But Imanari turned her down because he didn’t know she was married and he doesn’t want married women to be involved. All that was left was the woman who lost the match, Manami Koda. Imanari told her she had potential and would get another opportunity at the next event, this time against a male wrestler.

Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tiger Bed Scene was announced for 16th November.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 7”, 17/10/2014
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. URRC Special Tag Match: Aoi Ishibashi & Manami Koda Vs Hamuko Hoshi & Kurumi
2. Shota Ganbare☆Wrestling Comeback: Shota Vs Madoka
3. Special Recruit Match: Tiger Bed Scene Vs Yuji Kito
4. No DQ Match: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura
5. This Is Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling: Ken Ohka Vs Osamu Namiguchi

URRC stands for Ultimate Reverse RIZAP Championship and is inspired by the RIZAP exercise program. The URRC was created by Yumehito Imanari to cheer on female wrestlers who are not confident in the ring. Imanari used Wikipedia to look up the weight and height of each joshi wrestler competing in the match. He then seperated each woman into a different weight class. Aoi Ishibashi (160cm/62kg) is a Welterweight, Manami Koda (152cm/62kg) is a Cruiserweight, Hamuko Hoshi (161cm/60kg) is a Middleweight and Kurumi (150cm/60kg) is a Heavyweight. How this is supposed to make them feel better, I don’t know.

Hong Kong International Police Man has suffered a neck injury and will not be able to wrestle on the show. He might not even appear at all because of it.

DDT “SAPPORO WRESTLING FESTA 2014”, 12/10/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Soma Takao

I doubt Akito will need to confess his love for someone in order to win this match.

2. Chikage Kiba Vs Yuka Sakazaki
3. Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu
4. Saki Akai Vs Shoko Nakajima
5. Miyu Yamashita Vs KANNA

The card was decided by a lottery that took place after the last show. By some coincidence the main event is a rematch of the very first Tokyo Joshi Pro main event.

September 29, 2014

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 6”, 28/09/2014
West Chofu Martial Arts Arena
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: GENTARO defeated Tiger Bed Scene with the Sharpshooter (12:40).
2. Power Of Dreams Vs Union Part 1: Tomoya Kawamura defeated Yumehito Imanari with a Small Package (10:31).
3. Power Of Dreams Vs Union Part 2: Chikara Vs Mitomi Masayuki ended in a No Contest (7:37).
4. Special Single Match: Madoka defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Ranhei (9:30).
5. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yuji Kito & Yoshihiro Horaguchi when Namiguchi pinned Kito with a Diving Foot Stomp (13:45).

Even though Ken Ohka and Osamu Namiguchi won their match, Namiguchi was in no mood to play friendship. He rejected a handshake from Ohka and said he only teamed with him because they had common enemies. Now that was out of the way he next wants a singles match with Ohka. The challenge was accepted and will take place on 17th October.

The feud between Power Of Dreams and Union showed no signs of cooling off. Yumehito Imanari lost to Tomoya Kawamura and then both got involved in the Chikara Vs Mitomo Masayuki match. A brawl between the four led to a no contest. Ohka announced a No DQ Tag Team match for the 17th October show.
