Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. General Public Offer Match: X Vs X
2. Hanako Nakamori Vs Gorikiko
3. Ultraman Robin Vs J-Soul Pandita III
4. Ricky Fuji Vs Shota
5. 6-Man Elimination Tag Team Match: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & X Vs Osamu Namiguchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Bad Tension TAMAGAWA

Last time on Ganbare☆Wrestling, Batten Tamagawa turned on Ken Ohka and sided with the invaders Osamu Namiguchi and Kazuhiko Ogasawara, changing his name to Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in the process. Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari get their first shot at revenge with a 6-Man Elimination Tag match that main events Ganpuro’s first Shin-Kiba show. However the Ganpuro team needs a third member. Tomohiro Otani volunteered to team with Ohka and Imanari but they aren’t too sure. Ohka decided to give Imanari an important challenge to prove he is strong and tough. He will put Otani through special training on the day of the show so he can teach him his Spear of Flame finisher. If Otani can pass the challenge and learn the move, he will be added to the team.

Ganbare☆Wrestling wants new wrestlers and they don’t mind who they are. Ken Ohka has opened up spots in the roster for new wrestlers no matter what their gender, wrestling experience and profession are. Ganpuro opened up a mixi website for applications and they will choose people to wrestle at the show.

Union celebrates its 8th Anniversary with a one day tournament between the main members of the roster. Meanwhile Idea Pocket continues its sponsorship with wrestlers fighting each other over the Idea Pocket idols. Mio Shirai wants to continue having the idols working exclusively for her. Menso~re Oyaji isn’t really interested in competing and would be happy with any resolution that involves him having a date with at least one of the idols. Mitomi Masayuki recently entered the contest and is desperate to win the heart of any woman involved. Mr. Nagata (no not Yuji!), a producer for Idea Pocket gets to decide who will be in Masayuki’s corner for the match.

HARD HIT “ROAD TO KORAKUEN”, 27/10/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kamen Shooter Super Rider Vs Takaku Fuke
2. Poai Suganuma Vs Kotaro Nasu
3. Super Tiger Vs Koji Iwamoto
4. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Masaaki Mochizuki

Dragon Gate’s Masaaki Mochizuki makes his Hard Hit debut to take on Yukio Sakaguchi.

Koji Iwamoto from Sportiva Entertainment is also a student of judo. He asked to enter Hard Hit and not to be paired with a joke fighter. Super Tiger is his opponent and he is to be taken seriously. Why? Because a lot of the Hard Hit roster thinks he is very dangerous and don’t want to get hurt by him.

Poai Suganuma is a graduate from the BJ Penn MMA Academy. He faced and defeated Hikaru Sato in his Pancrase debut back in 2005. He is not familiar with the Hard Hit ruleset but Sato believes he is a strong fighter.

Hikaru Sato, Yasu Kubota and Tiger Shark will be fighting on the card.

HARD HIT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ HARD HIT PRODUCE”, 31/07/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
375 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. ISAO (1D/0E/0P) defeated FUMA (0D/1E/0P) with an Ankle Hold (6:51).
2. Hard Hit Experiment – Handicap Match: Tanomusaku Toba defeated Michael Nakazawa with a Backhand Blow (R4 1:07).
3. HARASHIMA (1D/0E/0P) defeated Ryuichi Sekine (1D/2E/0P) by TKO (8:18)
4. Hard Hit Experiment – HARASHIMA Ultimate Royal: Yukio Kubota defeated Hoshitango, Tetsuya Endo and Tadaware (10:40).
4a. Yukio Kubota eliminated Hoshitango with an Ankle Hold (2:28).
4b. Tetsuya Endo eliminated Tadaware with a Jumping Knee (3:50).
4c. Yukio Kubota eliminated Tetsuya Endo with a Front Neck Lock (10:40).
5. Hikaru Sato (2D/2E/0P) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi (2D/2E/0P) ended in a 4-4 Time Limit Draw (15:00).

The KO-D Tag Team Champions fought to a stalemate in the main event. Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi went through 15 minutes battling each other in a match that would have fit in with UWF no problem.

Yukio Kubota won a future Hard Hit fight against HARASHIMA by beating Tetsuya Endo, Hoshitango and Tadaware in the Battle Royal.

Michael Nakazawa was allowed to change the rules in his favour to give him a chance against Tanomusaku Toba. In Round 1 Nakazawa banned Toba from using his boxing gloves because they were too dangerous. He also allowed himself to cover his body in oil. The plan backfired when he couldn’t apply any submissions on Toba because they both became too slippery. In Round 2 Michael ordered Toba to give him his training bag containing supplement pills and a bottle of tequila. In Round 3 a knockdown only counted when the dominant fighter drank the bottle of tequila. Toba convinced Nakazawa to just fight under normal wrestling rules for Round 4 and he was able to beat him.

Road To Ryogouk Stops By Korakuen, Beer Garden Hurrah!

July 13, 2013

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2 DAYS IN 2013”, 21/07/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. All Star Battle Royal: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Akito Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi
3. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma Vs KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs MIKAMI & MIKAMI?
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & FUMA
5. Top & Future Special Tag Team Match: HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Antonio Honda, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Kensuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yuji Okabayashi

The very last Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract will be cashed in by Yuji Okabayashi on 21/7. Of course, the entire plan could be thrown out the window if Okabayashi loses a match anywhere in Japan before then.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi visited the Diamond Ring office and after a somewhat perverted confrontation with a male member of staff, were able to meet Kensuke Sasaki and convince him to team with them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Title match.

Looks like Guanchuro will continue his MIKAMI impersonation and this time teams up with the man himself.

UNION “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ UNION PRODUCE”, 28/07/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mitomi Masayuki Debut Match: Mitomi Masayuki Vs X
2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Ryu Gouma Vs Kaori Yoneyama
3. Union Fly To Everywhere Title: Cherry (c) Vs Aoi Kizuki

Mitomi Masayuki will finally have his debut match for Union after recovering from injuries suffered in a car crash back in February.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ DANSHOKU RANCH CLASSIC”, 29/07/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Take Back The Guy’s Smile:
2. It Is Attached To The Man NAKAZAWA:
3. Kota Ibushi Summer Vacation Wrestling Study:

A bit worried about this one since whenever Kota Ibushi has an idea, it usually involves fireworks.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ URASHIMAKUDO PRODUCE”, 30/07/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. FUMA Produce:
2. Yasu Urano Produce:
3. KUDO Produce:
4. HARASHIMA Produce:

HARASHIMA’s Beer Fight plans are usually just playing it straight. Matches himself with a worthy opponent while giving the younger wrestlers a chance to size up with the veterans. Don’t know about the others though. KUDO and Yasu Urano fought each other one year in a match where instead of three counts, you had to drink a full glass of beer while pinning your opponent in order to win.

HARD HIT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ HARD HIT PRODUCE”, 31/07/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. ISAO Vs FUMA
2. Hard Hit Experiment – Handicap Match: Michael Nakazawa Vs Tanomusaku Toba
3. HARASHIMA Vs Ryuichi Sekine
4. Hard Hit Experiment – HARASHIMA Ultimate Royal: Hoshitango Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Yukio Kubota Vs Tadaware
5. Hikaru Sato Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Hard Hit lightens up a little with a few experimental rules and concepts added some of the matches on the card. The main even though will probably be one of the more intense fights in Hard Hit history.

Tadaware comes from a micro indy called Pro Wrestling Nightmare.

NEW BEIJING “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ NEW BEIJING PRO WRESTLING PRODUCE”, 01/08/2013

2. Spectacular Ratio By Typical Chinese Beauty:
3. Sangokushi War: White Eyebrow Ma Liang Vs Cao Zhang Vs Yuan Zhe

White Eyebrow Ma Liang wrestles in Japan for the first time since 2007. Back then he represented Big China Wrestling. Not sure what he’s been up to since then, maybe formed a Union of some sort.

Don’t care if I made a mistake with the translation. Match #1 is possibly the greatest match name I have ever written on this site. And this is Goku the monkey warrior, not the guy from Dragon Ball Z.

1. Ryu Gouma & SAGAT Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang

6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match has been decided. Isami Kodaka won the Extreme Title in a Tonkaichi, Ladders & Chairs Match against El Generico over a year ago. He wanted to face Kenny in the same match but with tables instead of the giant hammer. However since Kenny is a Street Fighter, a Falls Count Anywhere rule is now added to the match. Isami revealed he has learned the Kamehameha to counter Kenny’s Hadouken. He thinks the Hadouken has a fatal weakness that the Kamehameha does not possess. The ladder Isami wants to use is claimed to be 1.5 times higher than the type he usually uses in matches. It is a ladder high enough to poke the heavens.

The Nazo Fukumen group believe their token female member will win the Fly To Everywhere Title and they compared it to the Battle of Sekigahara, a decisive battle that was fought in 1600. The Triple Threat match will be first fall to a finish.

Choun-Shiryu demonstrated a weakness of the recently converted Chinese vampire SAGAT. When Shiryu sticks a mystical sealing ward onto SAGAT’s forehead, the vampire freezes on the spot. Now knowing that he can render one of his opponents useless, it will make his mission to transform Ryu Gouma into a vampire easier. China has many problems right now so Shiryu wants to have a lawyer under his control if anything goes wrong. That’s why he wants to turn Gouma into a vampire.

Seiya Morohashi, who was forced to withdraw from Union after losing a Mask Contra Withdraw match at the last show has been begging for his job back. He might be added to the dark match.

DDT “PLANT WRESTLING”, 29/05/2013
Miyaji Ironworks

Street Wrestling Match: Kazuyoshi Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi’s Elite Street Troops

DDT returns to the factory in Miyaji for another bout of street wrestling and this time they are bringing Kazuyoshi Sakai with them. Sakai was a part time wrestler for MUSCLE between 2005 and 2010. He mostly wrestled as a Razor Ramon HG parody during his time there. He has since returned for one more match at last year’s “BUDOKAN PETER PAN” show. Sanshiro Takagi is bringing together an elite team of street wrestlers to take on Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. I will be shocked if one of those elite wrestlers is not Kota Ibushi.
