??? Fans

1. Ganpro Vs FREEDOMS All Out Battle!: Tomoya Hirata defeated Washi Sakurai with the German Suplex (9:14).
2. 6 Men And Women Summer Story! Special Mixed 3 Way Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Moeka Haruhi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase and Shota & HARUKAZE when Haruhi pinned Shota with a Cradle (10:54).
3. First Single! Toyama’s Strongest Decisive Match!: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ken Ohka with the JK (12:26).
4. Teacher & Student Tag Vs Aikata Tag: Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki when Hidaka pinned Ishii with the Iwami Ginzan (14:30).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka defeated Hagane Shinno (c) with the Modified Capture Buster (16:17).
*Hagane Shinno fails in V1. Asuka becomes the 31st Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

She did it! Asuka achieved her goal of becoming the youngest person to ever win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. She showed confidence at the beginning, sitting on the top turnbuckle so she was looking down on Hagane Shinno. The positions were reversed during the match when Shinno sat on the turnbuckle the same way before hitting a Diving Cross Body. Asuka had counters for Shinno’s late offence with a Kneel Kick and German Suplexes. Shinno kicked out of the Moonsault so it took Asuka pulling out the Capture Buster to beat him.

Asuka’s title win means the belt will not be sealed. She didn’t think she would beat Shinno today so she didn’t have a victory speech planned. She thanked Shinno and said he has a cool personality. So much happened to Asuka during the first half of the year. Her best friend died and she couldn’t travel to wrestle overseas. She was left wondering if she should end her pro wrestling career. Shinichiro Tominaga interrupted her speech, singing “Harmony At The End Of Summer” as he entered the ring. He congratulated Asuka then challenged her for the title. The title has its first ever female champion. Next it should get its first ever “Amateur” champion! Asuka wasn’t convinced so Tominaga brought up his victory over a former 2 time champion Ken Ohka earlier in the show. Asuka accepted and the two approached for a handshake. Tominaga instead Dropkicked Asuka in the knee and hit her with the JK. Tominaga shouted he will be standing in Korakuen Hall as an independent champion! He will be the first “Amateur” pro wrestling champ!

Ikuto Hidaka provoked Kouki Iwasaki to get into a fight after the semi-main event. Hidaka pinned Keisuke Ishii while Hidaka was taken out by Minoru Fujita. Afterwards Hidaka walked over to Iwasaki and celebrated in his face for added insult, causing the fight. Iwasaki told Hidaka if he enjoys being in this ring so much they should wrestle one on one. He then got a Big Boot in before they were separated again. Hidaka accepted the challenge and the match was booked for 12th September.

Part of the reason Tominaga beat Ohka was because he ambushed him during the entrances. Tominaga hit an Enzuigiri and a Moonsault for a nearfall. Ohka recovered and fought back with the Kamikaze Roll and the Fire Spear. However Tominaga would stop him with the JK to the back of the head. He hit another JK from the front and it was enough to win. Ohka did move his shoulder during the pin but it did not raise high enough to break the 3 count.

Shuichiro Katsumura had to pull out of the show with an ankle injury. Shunma Katsumata replaced him in the 3 Way Tag Match, teaming with Moeka Haruhi to form Fake HALFEE. Katsumata said afterwards he would like to appear in Ganbare☆Wrestling again as a hitman. When they won the match, Haruhi told Yumehito Imanari that she wants to win the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. She was going to challenge Imanari, Ohka & Miss Mongol at Korakuen but Imanari already has a match booked on that show. Imanari offered THE HALFEE a title shot on 12th September instead. Haruhi is happy with that idea. It means if THE HALFEE win the titles then they can defend them at Korakuen!

Washi Sakurai and Tomoya Hirata went hell for leather in the opener. They collided into each other with Shoulder Blocks and Knee Lifts. Sakurai tried using a Cobra Twist to control the tempt after Hirata gave him an Oklahoma Stampede. Hirata took him down with a Spear and pinned him with the German Suplex.

At the start of the show it was announced that Ganpro will return to Korakuen Hall on 6th October. This will be Ganpro’s third show in the building. Matches announced so far include Yumehito Imanari & Shinjiro Otani Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie, Yuna Manase Vs Takumi Iroha and Kouki Iwasaki Vs Kota Umeda.

The Rocket was created by Atsushi Onita for a death match he did in 2016 but it was so dangerous he never used it since. Until now! The rocket was fired at a watermelon with Kurochan’s picture on it and created a large explosion. The watermelon was not destroyed but a large hole was left in it from the blast. The wrestlers all think it’s amazing but Kurochan is terrified. Even more so when Onita suggested that Kurochan be placed inside a cage at ringside so he won’t run away.

An Chamu is a gravure idol from Shinshu Girls Pro Wrestling. She has two years experience and was trained by Emi Sakura.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “HEAVEN’S DOOR 2020”, 22/08/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Ganpro Vs FREEDOMS All Out Battle!: Washi Sakurai Vs Tomoya Hirata
2. First Single! Toyama’s Strongest Decisive Match!: Ken Ohka Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
3. 6 Men And Women Summer Story! Special Mixed 3 Way Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase Vs Shota & HARUKAZE
4. Teacher & Student Tag Vs Aikata Tag: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Hagane Shinno (c) Vs Asuka

These might be the final Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defence if Hagane Shinno gets his way. The new champion is in the twilight of his wrestling career and believes the title no longer serves its use. His peak was beating Kota Ibushi for the belt which means it should only be defended against a wrestler on the same level. Asuka is getting the title match because it was already promised to her when Keisuke Ishii was the champion. If Asuka can beat Shinno and achieve her goal of becoming the youngest ever Indy Jr. Champion, then Shinno will be convinced she can become as big of a superstar as Ibushi.

Yuna Manase is now a full time member of Ganbare☆Wrestling! Two weeks ago she received an invite from Yumehito Imanari to wrestle for them on a regular basis. She couldn’t give an answer then because she had not finished her commitment to Tokyo Joshi Pro. But when she appeared at last Sunday’s show she announced she wants to do more with the group and be part of the Ganpro family.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “KILLER QUEEN 2020” Results

July 26, 2020

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “KILLER QUEEN 2020”, 26/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
101 Fans

1. Competitive Showdown! SWS Gakusei Wrestling 24th Vs 28th Total Battle: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Shin Suzuki with a Cobra Clutch (9:42).
2. Summer Cosplay Match Return: Cherry defeated HARUKAZE with the Welcome To Hell (9:44).
3. Ganpro Specialty Special Mixed Tag Match: Shota & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Washi Sakurai when Shota pinned Sakurai with a Jackknife Pin (10:37).
4. 25 Years Of Confrontation? Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Yasu Urano & Tetsuo Usui when Ohka pinned Usui with the Fire Spear (19:03).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Hagane Shinno defeated Keisuke Ishii (c) with the Ranhei (16:37).
*Keisuke Ishii fails in V8. Hagane Shinno becomes the 30th Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

The dominant title reign of Keisuke Ishii is over! Hagane Shinno is the new Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion and we may be approaching the the end of the championship! Early in the match Shinno almost got counted out after he struck the ring post. There were some high impact moves on the ring apron like a Diving Body Press from Shinno and the Double Arm Extreme Driver from Ishii. Back in the ring, Shinno avoided the Double Arm Extreme Driver and pinned Ishii with the Ranhei to win the title. Backstage Shinno said he is thinking about sealing the championship. It is a past glory that he finally regained and his wrestling career doesn’t have long left to go so there is no need for the title to continue. However Asuka was promised a title shot against today’s winner on 22nd August so he will give her that match. Shinno said when he beats her, the title will be sealed away until a superstar on the same caliber of Kota Ibushi challenges him. If Asuka does beat him then he thinks she can become a superstar like Ibushi.

After the match Shinno and Madoka bumped fists and both left. Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari got into the ring in a panic. They don’t want the Indy World Jr. Title to leave Ganpro! Asuka is supposed to get a title shot on 22nd August but what is Shinno seals the championship before then? That’s the title Imanari has been aiming to win so what will he do now if it gets retired? Ohka offered some advice to calm Imanari down. Life and pro wrestling is a marathon without goals. Even when you win a championship you keep running. Imanari was eliminated from the ZERO1 Tenkaichi tournament yesterday but it is not the end of his wrestling life. He lost yesterday but next time he can win. Imanari promised to do his best and together they shouted “Three, Two, Zero One!” The show ended with “LONESOME RYDER” playing before switching into “BAD COMMUNICATION”.

 

Imanari showed up in the middle of the Mixed Tag Match wearing a referee shirt. He wanted to be the special guest referee like Shawn Michaels was at the FMW 10th Anniversary show. When Daisuke Kiso refused, Imanari knocked him out and took his place as White Shoes Imanari. He counted too slow so Moeka Haruhi threw him away. Imanari swung around Yuna Manase and gave Haruhi a Lariat on the rebound. Manase did her own Lariat to Washi Sakurai and Shota rolled him over for the three count.

Imanari explained he didn’t have a match scheduled in today just in case he advanced in the Tenkaichi so he wanted to officiate a match instead. Ohka then entered the ring and asked Manase if she decided to wrestle for Ganpro on a more regular basis? Manase said she wants to do her best as a pro wrestler. She isn’t going to just make regular appearances, she wants to join the Ganbare☆Wrestling family and wrestle for them all the time! Ohka accepted and welcomed Manase to Ganpro! Everyone celebrated by shouting “Three, Two, Zero One!” while “LONESOME RYDER” played.

In the Summer Cosplay match HARUKAZE wore a bug catcher costume while Cherry wrestled in a yukata. HARUKAZE used her bug catching net as a weapon and also tried to strip Cherry’s Yukata off. She got herself tangled in it. Cherry wore her wrestling gear underneath so she had no fear of being exposed. She applied her Welcome To Hell submission version of the Spring Night Love to get the win.

Two Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title matches have been made for the rest of the summer. First up Keisuke Ishii defends against Hagane Shinno, a former champion who pinned him in yesterday’s main event. Shinno’s history with the title was brief but important. As Madoka, he fought Kota Ibushi for the title when it was revived back in 2007. He lost to Ibushi then but won the title from him a year later. Sadly, Madoka was beaten by Makoto Oishi in his first defence and he never won it back. He’s had two attempts since then. This will be his third.

Yuna Manase was offered to regularly wrestle in Ganbare☆Wrestling. She isn’t able to decide yet because she is still working for Tokyo Joshi Pro for another two weeks. But she at least wants to make another appearance. We may find out her future by the time this show takes place.

The 24th and 28th SWS Triple Crown Champions collide when Shinchiro Tominaga faces Shin Suzuki in a battle of Student Wrestling prodigies.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “CRAZY DIAMOND 2020”, 12/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Washi Sakurai Trial Single Match: Chikara defeated Washi Sakurai with the Saber Chop (8:21).
2. Ganjo-gun Vs PocchaJo-gun Total Battle: Yumehito Imanari, Miss Mongol & Yuna Manase defeated Shunma Katsumata, Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (11:53).

5. Special Tag Match Full Of Indie Jr. Champions: Shiori Asahi & Hagane Shinno defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shuichiro Katsumura when Shinno pinned Ishii with the Reverse Rankei (16:17).

Keisuke Ishii now has two challengers for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Halfway through the show, Asuka challenged Ishii to a title match because she wants to become the youngest champion in the title’s history. Ishii asked for the match to take place on 26th July but Asuka’s busy schedule pushed it back to the agreed date of 22nd August. Then in the main event Hagane Shinno pinned Ishii and asked for a title shot on the 26th July show that Asuka turned down. Ishii accepted that challenge too so he can achieve his 8th and 9th title defences when all is said and done. Asuka told them to do what they want, she will challenge the winner of Ishii Vs Hagane.

Yumehito Imanari invited Yuna Manase to compete in Ganbare☆Wrestling on a regular basis, believing this is the perfect place for her last run. Manase told him she is still with Tokyo Joshi Pro until 23rd July so she cannot agree to regular participation in Ganpro just yet. But she would like to be on the next Ganpro show on the 26th.

Ken Ohka was pulled from the show due to a fever. Shunma Katsumata took his place in Match #2.

2. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

A few things about this show. It is being held at Saitama Super Arena empty arena style. This was the plan before the Coronavirus situation appeared. The DDT Extreme Title bout will not be the only match happening. Atsushi Onita will be there expecting to have a Current Blast Death Match of some sort. Oh and now Danshoku Dieno is angry that he was booked without being told so he is forming a locker room coup to wage war against Sanshiro Takagi.

Saitama Wrestle Arena

1. Miyako Matsumoto (w/ Ippanjin Munenori Sawa) Vs Chikara (w/ Mao)

Miyako Matsumoto spent yesterday undergoing special ramen training in Shibuya. It was Munenori Sawa’s idea because cooks put their soul into their food just like how wrestlers put their soul into their performance. If Matsumoto can create delicious ramen then the Gake no Fuchi Joshi show this week will surely succeed! After a four hour training course, Matsumoto created her ramen dish and was gifted a 500 yen coin by the chef. Sawa called it a great first step that shows how Gake no Fuchi Joshi can become more and more valuable.

The match name is sort of misleading. Originally Ganbare☆Wrestling began in 2013 and regularly ran shows for the year. It then took a break in the first few months of 2014 to relaunch as a “major sports league” in April of that year. So this match is the 6th Anniversary of the relaunch.

Ganpro celebrates its anniversary with a return to the promotion’s deepest feud. Minoru Fujita and the Tomodachi-gun unit were a thorn in Ken Ohka’s side from 2015 to 2016. Now Fujita has revived it for the special occasion with one of the original members Hagane Shinno (he was wrestling under the name Madoka back then). Keisuke Ishii gets to find out for himself what this unit was like to fight.
