Both Shuichiro Katsumura and HARUKAZE were celebrating their homecoming matches today and both came out of the show with victories. In the main event, Katsumura gathered together wrestlers representing his Team Reversal Gym Yokohama Grand Slam. After winning the match, Katsumura told everyone this is Ganbare☆Pro’s first show in Yokohama. For many fans here it is their first time seeing Ganpro and maybe even pro wrestling. He doesn’t know what will happen next with Ganpro but he hopes they will come back to his hometown.

A public contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match on 27th February took place before today’s show. Kouki Iwasaki said he is physically and mentally ready to crush Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s chest in with his kicks. His goal is to win the title in the main event of Korakuen Hall and defend it at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in June. Otherwise there is no future in Ganpro if Takaiwa remains the champion until that show. Takaiwa said at 50 years old he is celebrating 30 years in pro wrestling this year. He believes Iwasaki will be the champion some day and it is up to himself as the first champion to show him what it is like. Later in the show Takaiwa & 5th Black Tiger beat Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase in a tag match. Takaiwa feels reinvigorated wrestling these matches and is making the most of them.

HARUKAZE’s homecoming was twice as special because today is also her birthday! It is such a special occasion that her mother came to see her wrestle. Her team originally won their match in 5 seconds when Shota immediately pinned Shinichiro Tominaga. Both sides agreed to an immediate rematch where HARUKAZE got to properly earn the victory by pinning YuuRI. After the match Ken Ohka and Shinjiro Otani brought out a birthday cake for her and everyone celebrated. HARUKAZE told everyone when she started wrestling her mother would tell her to stop everyday. Today she got to see her daughter be a winner, which made HARUKAZE very happy.

7. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Minoru Fujita

A press conference was held today to promote the DDT Universal Title match. Minoru Fujita said he has completely dominated the prelim matches against Daisuke Sasaki so all he has to do now is win the title match. If he does that then it will pave the way for his Fujita Pro Wrestling School to invade DDT and form a spinoff unit in the company. Sasaki (who was drinking) accused Fujita of lying about his poor health to throw him off guard. He then got mad when his mentor Dick Togo was brought up. Things calmed down and the two shook hands until Fujita kicked Sasaki in the groin. Sasaki wanted to get some kind of heat back so he gave Hisaya Imabayashi a Low Blow just because.

LiLiCo sent in a video message saying she will be at this show. There is something she wants to tell everyone but is keeping it secret until then. The celebrity wrestled for DDT several times from 2014 to 2018 and even held a few championships during her time here.

DDT “DDT FREE -FEBRUARY- ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 IN SHINJUKU!!”, 14/02/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Toui Kojima Vs Maya Yukihi & Yukio Naya

3. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
4. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama Vs Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata
5. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul

What will happen when Shinya Aoki’s madness is crossed with Yuki Iino’s sex appeal? Pheromones successfully “convinced” Imabayashi to give Iino a shot at the DDT Extreme Title. Iino is confident that he can do whatever match type or crazy rule Aoki comes up with.

Saki Akai is 2-1 over Maya Yukihi in their series of tag matches so far. The matches are getting more heated as Yukihi becomes more convinced that Akai is taunting her with her success in DDT. Meanwhile Akai is trying to get the message across that she got to where she is today with a lot of hard work.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR SPECIAL! GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION”, 10/01/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

4. “Lion King” Ken Ohka 44 Year Old Commemorative Match ~44 Year Old Lions~: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita when Kei pinned Ohka after Fujita hit Ohka with a suitcase (12:00).

He wasn’t able to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title earlier today but Ken Ohka was still in the party mood for the big match of this show. He wanted to celebrate being 44 years old with other wrestlers his age like Minoru Fujita and The Brahman Brothers went pear-shaped when Ohka and Fujita fought over who should use the Brahman’s suitcase as a weapon. Fujita got fed up and threw the suitcase right in Ohka’s face! The Brahmans pinned Ohka and Fujita stormed off with them. Ohka wasn’t upset though. He is still loving life at age 44. When told the fans when he turns 45 he wants to invite John Cena or Brock Lesnar over to Itabashi for a singles match!

The Battle Royal came down to HARUKAZE and Mizuki Watase fighting each other over the ropes and ring apron. Both of them fell down to the floor but HARUKAZE went through the middle ropes and was therefore never eliminated. That resulted in her winning the match and the cash prize of 100,000 yen! The rest of the participants chased her out of the ring all wanting the money for themselves.

Yuna Manase wasn’t there for the opening match and was replaced by the similar looking Hong Kong International Women’s Police Man. She arrested Hong Kong International Police Man after beating him and led him out of the ring in handcuffs.


GANBARE☆JOSHI “PROTECT YOU AND LOVE YOU 2021” Results

December 19, 2021

GANBARE☆JOSHI “PROTECT YOU AND LOVE YOU 2021”, 19/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

4. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Mizuki Watase (C) defeated Shota (C), Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga (16:46).
4a. Shota (C) eliminated Ken Ohka by Ring Out (6:48).
4b. Shota (C) eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out (8:55).
4c. Mizuki Watase (C) eliminated Soma Takao by Ring Out (15:00).
4d. Mizuki Watase (C) eliminated Shota (C) with a Cradle Cutback (16:46).
5. Ganjo Three Special Singles Match: Yuna Manase defeated Yuu Yamagata with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:41).

All year long Yuna Manase has been searching for a win against Yuu Yamagata. It has been the one story that had been built around Ganbare☆Joshi since its reboot. Today was the day it finally happened! Lariats and hitting the Suzuki Dynamic twice were what Manase needed to do to win. Afterwards a defeated Yamagata declared she was withdrawing from Ganjo. She finally lost like Manase wanted and saw no reason to sick around. But Manase stopped her and said Yamagata was the one main eventing Ganjo all year. She is Ganjo more than anyone else! Manase welcomed Yamagata to stay and the two sang “Tonbo” together. Backstage Manase told reporters that her goal this year was not to leave a mark but to produce results. She achieved her goal of beating Yamagata and proved that if you never give up, your dreams can come true. Manase also asks if there is anybody out there looking to join Ganpro to send her a DM. She knows the joshi scene is undergoing tremendous upheaval right now and Ganjo is looking to find new friends.

There were some arguments over the Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination rules before that match began. The two teams chose their captains by writing them on pieces of paper and handing them over to the ring announcer. Shota said that while it is a thrilling rule it is also unfair and he would prefer if everyone knew who the captains were before the match starts. Ken Ohka shrugged away the complaints which led to Shota thinking he was the captain. He was proven wrong when Ohka was eliminated first and the ring announcer revealed he was not the captain. Keisuke Ishii and he wasn’t the captain either which meant Mizuki Watase was meant to be the target all along. Watase pulled off a come from behind victory by eliminating Soma Takao and then pinning Shota, who was the captain for his team all along.

Watase celebrated the victory by declaring he is now part of Ganbare☆Pro and won his first match with the promotion. He then announced that on the 10th January tripleheader he wants to revive RENEGADES with Shigehiro Irie and main event one of the shows. Ohka said it isn’t up to Irie to make that decision. They’re in Ganpro so it is Ohka who decides and he approves of a RENEGADES revival! Watase later revealed he will DM the other members Sammy Guevara and Jason Kincaid to come over when the pandemic ends.

Moeka Haruhi had a lot of fun wrestling HARUKAZE because it was a long time since their last singles match together. However Haruhi is concerned over the path HARUKAZE took over the last few months to get stronger. It must be hard for her but Haruhi felt her persistence in the ring and never saw her as being weak. She is clumsy but does her best and lives life to the fullest. A tearful HARUKAZE said she was the very first person to join the Ganjo division but once others joined was instantly the weakest member among them. She tried not to show her depression but Haruhi was always there for her and she is grateful for it. From now on she is going to stop calling herself weak. The two promised to continue working hard for Ganjo, hugged and then bowed to each other.

Today’s show gets to play a little part in the wider story of Actwres girl’Z going away and Color’s coming out of it. Hikari Shimizu & Rina Amikura both did the “We are Color’s” pose during their tag match. Miku Aono & Aoi Natsu got the better of them in the end and won the match.

YuuRI is now zero for three in her trial series after losing to the Color’s leader SAKI. Ohka gave YuuRI advice after the match, telling her never to forget the regret she feels for losing. He then told her the 4th match in her trial is against Hong Kong International Police Man. YuuRI doesn’t know who that is but promised to win against him. SAKI was more a little more harsh with her advice for YuuRI. She said YuuRI should not be making excuses in order to work hard and she also should not give herself the excuse that all she needs to do is work hard.

8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi

Okay, now we have the official match order for the show. Konosuke Takeshita versus Yuji Okabayashi is the headlining match.

Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

BASARA “BASARA 174 ~TAKAGARI 6~”, 13/11/2021
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT & Fuminori Abe

Speed Of Sounds and Masahiro Takanashi will be on the show. I believe Takanashi still owes Fuminori Abe that rematch.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
2. International Princess Title Match: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The trios time limit draw at the last show has left both Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe wanting more against each other. Watanabe asked Noa for a singles match and Noa is willing to put the IP Title on the line for it. She has defended the title against Raku already so if she beats Watanabe then everyone can agree that Noa is the best of the Up Up Girls!

The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.

1.

The final team has been revealed. Well, most of it. Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata one more partner completes the field. DDT previously said the final team will have someone who has never done Rojo Pro Wrestling before. Aoki, Higuchi & Hirata all done it so that leaves the mystery partner. The format is still secret but we know Yoshihiko and Kouzi will be hanging around inside the Tokyo Dome on the day of the show.

At this point I’m just guessing that’s the match order for the D-Ou Grand Prix opening bouts.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~HIKARI NO ROCK 2021~”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 2: YuuRI Vs Maya Yukihi
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Saki Akai Vs Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE

Just when things were looking at its bleakest for Yuna Manase, help has come from an unlikely face. Saki Akai wants to see the woman with a never say die attitude that she fought last month. So she is now helping Manase bring that fire back and finally get a win against Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE. Yamagata does not know who Akai is but welcomes her participation in the match.

Match 2 for YuuRI’s trial series is against another big name on the joshi scene, Maya Yukihi.

Moeka Haruhi will be on the show. Storyline wise she’s come across as the odd woman out on the Ganbare☆Joshi events so far.

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 2ND ROUND”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Ganpro Special Single Match: Kenichiro Arai Vs Taison Maeguchi
3. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2A: Tetsuhiro Kuroda Vs Ken Ohka
4. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2D: Tatsuhito Takaiwa Vs Mizuki Watase
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2C: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2B: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yumehito Imanari

The Ganbare☆Climax moves on to Round 2. Shinichiro Tominaga eliminating Keisuke Ishii was the big surprise in Round 1. Can he get a Cinderella run going by defeating the last tournament winner Yumehito Imanari? Meanwhile Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mizuki Watase get their first matches in the bracket. Kuroda is seen as a god by Ken Ohka because he was nice to him back in Ohka’s rookie days. Watase is as motivated as he has ever been to go far and grab some success in the ring.

Soma Takao has been hanging around at Ganbare☆Pro recently to show support for the other wrestlers in his generation. After being by Shota’s side at the last show, Takao was invited to wrestle on a Ganpro show for the first time.

Also at the show will be Shinjiro Otani. He is now the on-site director for Ganpro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are handed a tough first defence. 121000000 are a united front in the aftermath to the “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” main event. I think. They’re bickering over whether or not Miyu Yamashita really cares about Maki Itoh. It’s the opposite to Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki. Those two with the Princess Tag Titles have in the past been the most unbeatable duo in TJPW. 121000000 need to get their heads together (perhaps literally) if they want to win the belts.

Yuki Arai will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Haruna Neko Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Pom Harajuku Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Nao Kakuta
4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs SAKI & Yuna Mizumori

The third “TJPW INSPIRATION” brings in TropicaWild from ChocoPro to face MagiRabi. Hikari Noa gets another Hardcore Match but this time it’s Nao Kakuta who is the newcomer to that style. Pom Harajuku is bringing in a more wacky atmosphere by taking on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. The opener is something more normal with Haruna Neko versus Mahiro Kiryu.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021
Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium

1. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X

The final KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title defences of 2021 will be held in Yoyogi.

Yuji Okabayashi and Bodyguard will be on the show.


GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021” Results

October 24, 2021

GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
102 Fans

1. Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yuna Mizumori defeated Sayaka with the Warrior’s Return (8:07).
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Masayuki Mitomi & Jun Tonsho when Watase pinned Mitomi with the Back Drop (11:25).
3. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: Asuka defeated YuuRI with a Back Spin Kick (8:21).
4. Ganjo Special Mixed Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Ann Cham defeated Ken Ohka & Miyako Matsumoto when Ishii pinned Matsumoto with the Hidoiwaza (14:00).
5. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE (C) defeated Yuna Manase (C), Moeka Haruhi & Cherry (16:01).
5a. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Cherry by Ring Out (8:13).
5b. Yuna Manase eliminated Makoto by Ring Out (9:03).
5c. Yuu Yamagata eliminated Moeka Haruhi by Ring Out (12:10).
5d. Yuna Manase (C) eliminated Yuu Yamagata by Ring Out (13:11).
5e. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Yuna Manase (C) with a Cradle Cutback (16:01).

The Captain’s Fall Elimination match went with an extra rule that said the captains would not be revealed until they were eliminated. Cherry and Makoto were the first two eliminations. Moeka Haruhi tried to sacrifice herself by holding onto Yuu Yamagata on the apron. Yuna Manase charged into both of them but only Haruhi fell to the ground, getting eliminated in the process. However, Haruhi grabbed Yamagata again and pulled her to the floor to take her out of the match. The referee never called an end so it was concluded that the final two wrestlers Manase and HARUKAZE were the team captains. Manase gave HARUKAZE the Suzuki Dynamic but during the pinfall, HARUKAZE rolled through the momentum and pinned Manase for the 3 count out of nowhere.

HARUKAZE celebrated getting to beat Manase for the second time in a row. She said Manase has tunnel vision and needs to expand her horizons. Otherwise she will never be able to beat Yamagata. Then Yamagata got to speak. She admitted Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten more interesting than the last time she was here. But she thinks GanJo are all idiots for thinking she was going to be the team captain. This is a GanJo ring so it only makes sense for HARUKAZE to be the captain. The team left Manase and Haruhi to deal with the defeat.

Manase was certain she was going to win today but HARUKAZE beat her for the second time in a row. There was something different about her compared to when they used to team together. Maybe Manase is weak. Haruhi tried to motivate Manase and told her to stay standing no matter what. She set a goal to defeat Yuu Yamagata. Haruhi herself fought with all her might to make sure their team would win today. It wasn’t enough but Haruhi isn’t embarrassed about it. As she was saying this, Manase started losing her concentration and began to mumble about her parents and grandparents. Cherry brought Haruhi backstage to calm down, leaving Manase alone in the ring.

Suddenly Saki Akai made her entrance and stood in the ring with Manase. She came to see what Ganbare☆Joshi was all about and this is what she gets? Where is the Yuna Manase who kept standing up when Akai knocked her down over and over in DDT last month? That’s the Yuna Manase who Akai and the fans want to see. If Manase was at her most exciting chasing after Akai then Akai wants to keep an eye on her so she won’t run out of steam. Manase said the next GanJo show is happening on 7th November and she wants to team with Akai there. Akai accepted the offer. Backstage Yamagata was told the news and she replied she doesn’t know who Saki Akai is.

The start to YuuRI’s trial series saw the newcomer lose to Asuka. At first Asuka was dismissive of her opponent but it was intended to bring out the fire in her. She told YuuRI “good job” after the match but was left feeling frustrated by the whole experience. While Asuka does appreciate YuuRI showing respect to her, she still thought her effort in the ring was too amateurish. Maybe it isn’t YuuRI’s fault because Asuka wants something interesting to do in Ganbare☆Pro and hasn’t been able to find it lately. YuuRI meanwhile found out from Ken Ohka who her second trial opponent will be. She will face Maya Yukihi on 7th November.

Mizuki Watase got a big boost of encouragement by getting the win in his tag match. He & Shigehiro Irie gave Masayuki Mitomi a Double Stomp/Tombstone combo and Watase then finished him off with the Back Drop. Watase said Irie is entrusting him with everything to win the Ganbare☆Climax because Irie himself is not entering it. Today is just the beginning and Watase believes he is in the best position to win the tournament.
