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.

GENTARO is a last minute addition to the card, returning to DDT for the first time since August 2012.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Akito

My favourite time of the year on the DDT calender is Beer Garden week. This is where DDT’s roster are at their most creative because they get to make the matches. So far we have ghost stories, a 5 Way Ladder match, some boxing, the return of Ultimate Superstars Action and a Smile Squash Triple Threat to look forward to. Unfortunately there is no more Lariat Pro Wrestling but in it’s place we get Knee Pro Wrestling. So expect the Boma Ye and Busaiku Knee Kick to be used a lot. There are two shows that have yet to have any matches booked for it. They are the first and final days of the series.

July 3, 2014

ohka-gentaro

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 4”, 03/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Last Of Megane!! Glasses Carve The Soul: Fumihito Kihara defeated Megane with a Kiwi Roll (6:53).
2. No Offline Broadcast Special Streaming Double Hell Tag Team Match: Tanomusaku Toba & Aoi Ishibashi defeated Shibata & Manami Kanda when Ishibashi pinned Kanda with the Amiuchi Atomic Bomb (9:27).
3. Special Single Match: Tiger Bed Scene defeated Bank Robbery Man with the Besshinoku Driver (8:17).
4. Power Of Dreams Take Off!: Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura defeated Yumehito Imanari & Chikara by Disqualification when Imanari attacked the referee (10:04).
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs GENTARO ended in a Double KO (18:48).
6. Special Tag Team Match: Osamu Namiguchi & Shota defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Black Tiger V when Shota pinned Tiger with the Frog Splash (14:36).

Shota scored a big victory in the main event by pinning a Black Tiger. After the match Shota said when he joined Ganbare☆Wrestling a year ago he never thought he would be main eventing Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Now he thinks Ganpuro can become major league and his proof is being able to buy a house and car with the money he’s earned from wrestling in the company. He has grown and he knows Ganpuro can grow too. Osamu Namiguchi cut in to remind Shota that he hates Ganpuro but he still agrees to wrestle here so he deserves some credit.

Ken Ohka and GENTARO brought each other to the limit in the semi-main event. Ohka came out to “Car Wars” by Tom Scott which was used by Dynamite Kid when he wrestled in Japan. Both men fought their hearts out as GENTARO countered the Spear Of Fire with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka found his fighting spirit and got into a Lariat Battle that ended in another Brainbuster. Both men were out flat as the ref began the 10 count. GENTARO was close to getting back to his feet but it was too late, the ref counted both men out and the match ended in a Double Knockout. GENTARO thought he should have won and he asked the audience if they thought it was a draw. Ohka claimed he took a big step forward and GENTARO agreed with him, saying he has grown since they first met 12 years ago. He also told him to continue working hard and they shook hands. GENTARO said he really liked wrestling in Ganpuro and also the enthusiasm Ohka brings to the company. He offered to become a counselor for Ganpuro so he could help out when needed.

The first match for Power Of Dreams did not work out as planned. Tempers flared as Yumehito Imanari was pitted against his enemies from Union: Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura. Things got out of control when the Union team double teamed Chikara and yelled out “This is the end of Ganbare☆Wrestling!” Imanari came to the rescue with a chair and went crazy by throwing non-stop punches at Masayuki. The referee tried to stop him but was knocked down, forcing the match to end by disqualification. Imanari yelled over and over that he wanted to win. Chikara told him he also wants to win and they agreed to get ready for their next match together.

Bank Robbery Man turned out to be Atsushi Maruyama. I should have saw that coming. It is another in his growing line of schemes to rejoin the Ganpuro roster after last year declaring he would leave the company forever. His excuse this time was he wasted his money on lottery tickets over the last four years so he could afford a desk he wanted since elementary school. When that didn’t work he became Bank Robbery Man. After he was unmasked by Tiger Bed Scene, Maruyama once again apologised and promised that he would not return.

After spending so much of his matches trying to film them with his camera, Shibata has come to the conclusion that he could get even better angles if he was a referee instead. Ken Ohka decided Shibata will be the referee and cameraman for the Public Recording Match between Aoi Ishibashi and Manami Kanda on 23rd July.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 3”, 01/06/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
211 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Royal Road Vs Amateur Wrestling: Fumihito Kihara defeated Tomohiro Otani with the Osui Suplex (7:17).
2. No Offline Broadcast Special Streaming Double Hell Match: Shibata defeated Tanomusaku Toba with a Cross Arm Stretch.
3. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Tiger Bed Scene with a Frog Splash (12:36).
4. Love Hotel Acceptance II Vs Rikidozan III Again!!: Osamu Namiguchi & Chikara defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga when Namiguchi pinned Imanari with the Lana Killer-X (12:16).
5. MEGANE Is Back!!: Megane defeated The Shooter with a Drop Heel Kick (8:23).
6. Special Match: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Ken Ohka with the Death Valley Bomb (11:44).

Ken Ohka had an uphill battle to fight in the main event against the veteran Tatsuhito Takaiwa. Ohka entered the ring carrying a Ganbare☆Wrestling towel covered in his dry blood. It was the towel used to clean his wounds after his death match with Shuji Ishikawa last month. The former Black Tiger Takaiwa was accompanied by another Black Tiger and this one was not afraid to get involved with the match. Takaiwa caught Tiger’s interference and ordered him to stop because he did not need it. Ohka found his second wind and brought the fight to Takaiwa, even hitting the Spear of Fire. But Black Tiger pulled the ref out of the ring as he counted the pin. Takaiwa recovered and hit the Death Valley Bomb to escape with the victory. Takaiwa insulted the “shit organisation” until Shota stepped in to defend his company. He was then surprisingly joined by Osamu Namiguchi and together they challenged Taikawa and Black Tiger to a match on 3rd July.

When that was over Ohka said he was thinking about dissolving Ganpuro. After losing to Taikawa he wasn’t sure if the company should continue. Ohka was then given a surprise visit from GENTARO. Ohka was tackled to the mat and GENTARO yelled at him for considering to give up. He told Ohka that it does not matter if he lost today because he can always win his next match. GENTARO finally got off Ohka and challenged him to a match for the next Ganpuro show on 3rd July. They shook hands only for GENTARO to attack Ohka again until they were pulled apart.

Megane defeated The Shooter and unmasked him to reveal it was Atsushi Maruyama! Maruyama apologised for lying to the fans and promised he would never return to Ganpuro, even though that’s what he said last time. After the show Megane announced he would be travelling home on 3rd July and he thanked Ganpuro for the time spent together. He promised to return some day and will spread the word of Ganpuro until then.

Yumehito Imanari and Chikara bonded over their tag team match. They think they can achieve their dreams together. Ohka supports it because having the grandson of Rikidozan makes Ganpuro look major league.

The No Offline Broadcast Special Streaming Double Hell Match involved Shibata and Tanomusaku Toba having an MMA fight while wearing GoPro cameras on their forehead. Both fighters had their own devices for streaming the fight online. Shibata submitted Toba in the third and final round. Toba congratulated Shibata on Shibata’s stream after the fight.

*Togo fails in V3. Ishikawa becomes the 36th Champion!

It really did turn out to be a big day for Shuji Ishikawa. He now reigns supreme as the new KO-D Openweight Champion, defeating Dick Togo for the belt. This is Shuji’s third reign as KO-D Champion, twice as Shuji Ishikawa and once when he wrestled under the mask as Koo. Will we see a similar title run as last time when he was able to hold title defences in Union?

Shuji’s first defence was confirmed to be GENTARO, who kept his word that he would cash in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract to face the winner of Togo Vs Shuji. The match has been set for 19th June at Korakuen Hall.

Takao Soma declared that he wants to be next in line for a KO-D Title shot after GENTARO gets his match.

Keisuke Ishii was the big winner of the Royal Rumble. His prize was a shot at the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. This meant the surprise return of Masa Takanashi! The match between Takanashi and Ishii was set for 19th June but when the two shook hands, Ishii gave him a Small Package and won the title! However, Masa then gave Ishii a Low Blow and Small Packaged him to win the title back!

This time Bob Sapp sent three assassins after Danshoku Dino. Choun-Shiryu led the attack along with two fighters from Hong Kong Pro Wrestling but Dino was too manly beyond their wildest expectations to be defeated.

The always bouncy in a good way Yuzuki Aikawa announced that she will compete at DDT’s Sumo Hall show.

The 1st Round matches for the King Of DDT tournament have been announced. They will take place on 21st May at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The matches are:

Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega
Antonio Honda Vs Seiya Morohashi
KUDO Vs Yasu Urano
