GANBARE☆PRO “THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 2023” Results

April 22, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 2023”, 22/04/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
81 Fans

1. 3 Way Match: KOJIO defeated Shota and Munetatsu Nakamura when KOJIO pinned Nakamura with the World Breaker (8:26).
2. Ancham defeated YuuRI with the I Still Don’t Know The Name Of The Technique I Saw That Day (13:11).
3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku!: Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga when Fujita pinned Tominaga with the Modified Samson Clutch (14:11).
4. Mizuki Watase, Yumehito Imanari & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & Takuya Wada when Imanari pinned Maeguchi with the Lariat (18:12).

The final show of today’s tripleshot built towards the 5th May Korakuen Hall show. It was the last prelim bout between Mizuki Watase and Keisuke Ishii as well as a preview for Shuichiro Katsumura versus Takuya Wada on 6th May. The result saw Yumehito Imanari pin Tyson Maeguchi with the Lariat, a possible prediction for which team will win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Titles at Korakuen. The Lariat knocked Maeguchi so loopy he thought the title match will be happening at the Tokyo Dome! Ishii’s side lost the match but he still thinks he gained some momentum back from Watase.

The show began with Ken Ohka declaring war on Sento Minzoku! He had Shinichiro Tominaga on his team and today’s match had a special meaning for his partner. It was Tominaga’s last match as a 35 year old so he was determined to win! Unfortunately Minoru Fujita tangled him up in the Samson Clutch, giving the invading team the victory. The result left Ohka frustrated because he can never beat Isami Kodaka! He’s going to keep trying though even if it takes him into his 50s and 60s. Meanwhile Kodaka thanked Ganbare☆Pro for the warm welcome today. He genuinely thinks the promotion wants him to join them. Fujita also thinks GanPro now is very different than the GanPro he wrestled for 8 years ago.

Ancham’s submission finisher is called the I Still Don’t Know The Name Of The Technique I Saw That Day, or just simply That Technique for short. It is something she claims she came up on the spur of the moment.

The monster KOJIO was dominant in his GanPro debut, easily dismantling both Shota and Munetatsu Nakamura in the 3 Way Match.

Miyako Matsumoto entered the ring at the end of the show demanding to be added to the 2nd May Ganbare☆Joshi event. Her demand was rejected by Michiyoshi Mishima because nobody on the roster is interested in fighting her.

Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
65 Fans

1. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Tyson Splash (6:28).
2. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ilusion with a Turnback Jackknife Pin (7:36).
3. Gauntlet Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE, Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi, Soma Takao & YuuRI and Kabuto Mitomi & Echika Miyabi.
3a. Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi when HARUKAZE eliminated Katumura by Ring Out (11:44).
3b. Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE defeated Soma Takao & YuuRI when HARUKAZE eliminated YuuRI by Ring Out (11:44).
3c. Kabuto Mitomi & Echika Miyabi defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE when Mitomi eliminated HARUKAZE by Ring Out (7:38).
3d. Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol defeated Kabuto Mitomi & Echika Miyabi when Mongol pinned Miyabi with the Diving Senton (9:59).
4. Shota Debut 15th Anniversary Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Shota with a Headlock (20:30).

Twenty minutes of back and forth wrestling between Shota and Isami Kodaka all came down to a simple Headlock to decide the winner. Kodaka clamped on the move tight, causing a tired Shota to give up and lose his 15th Anniversary match. Shota still thinks he made the right choice nominating Kodaka to be his opponent for the special occasion. He believes his wrestling career does not have long left but that does not mean he is going to quit the business yet. There’s still so much in the world he wants to experience. Kodaka was happy to be invited and wants other BASARA wrestlers to participate in Ganbare☆Pro more often, especially to have matches with Shota.

BASARA “BASARA 216 ~KOO~” Results

April 19, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 216 ~KOO~”, 18/04/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Kazato with the V Slider (10:21).
2. FUMA & KUBITO defeated Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when FUMA pinned Shimomura with the Heavy Metal Anthem (13:13).
3. Special Rule “I’m Sorry” Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Gouma Ryu when Ryu said “I’m Sorry” (13:55).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka when Kamino pinned Kraken with the Lariat (16:40).
*V2 for Aijin Tag.
5. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga (c) defeated SAGAT with the Koryu (18:23)
*V1 for Banana Senga.

Things are getting serious for Banana Senga. After defending the Union MAX Title against SAGAT he told the fans he has a big responsibility as a Double Crown champion (he is also one of the TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Champions). He thinks the MAX Title is a heavyweight championship so he is trying to gain weight and be over 100kg. Takumi Tsukamoto entered the ring and said he was so excited watching the main event he wants to use his MAX Title shot right now. Instead the two agreed to have their title match on 13th May because that is when both men are available for the same BASARA show. Backstage Senga also admitted by being champion he makes more money so he wants to save up for a hair transplant! He mentioned he can get it done in Turkey where it is one third of the price as in Japan.

The first time Aijin Tag were IRON FIST Tag Champions their reign only lasted for one defence. They can rest a little easy now that their second reign has already surpassed that. Takato Nakano feels motivated he & Masato Kamino can reach 10 title defences when all is said and done. They beat the Tochigi team of Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka. The challengers expected the result but they still think they did a good job teaming together for the first time. Isaka would like to stick around in BASARA and team with Kraken more.

The match between Isami Kodaka and Gouma Ryu had a special rule attached. Whoever would say “I’m sorry” first would lose. It led to Kodaka and Ryu demanding each other wrestler to apologize while they were putting each other in different holds. Ryu ended up getting tired and tried to make Kodaka apologize for putting him in this situation. Kodaka instead said it was ok and asked him to continue wrestling. Ryu understood and apologized, losing the match in the process.

After the opening match, Gouma Ryu approached Ryota Nakatsu and handed him money to be in his corner for his match against Kodaka. Nakatsu accepted and briefly interfered in the later match.

BASARA “BASARA 215 ~MOKOFUKUSO~” Results

April 15, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 215 ~MOKOFUKUSO~”, 15/04/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. KUBITO Vs Tsutomu Oosugi defeated KUBITO with the Tsuki no Ishi (8:15).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Daichi Kazato defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Kazato pinned Senga with the Explosive Ax Bomber (8:05).
3. Basara Strange Style Jacket Match: FUMA defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi by Knockout (R5 0:00).
4. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Kraken after the Lariat from Kamino (12:17).
5. Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when SAGAT submitted Shimomura with the Argentine Backbreaker (13:28).
6. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Match: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Isami Kodaka with the Zudon (13:28).

Takumi Tsukamoto now gets a Union MAX Title shot but he has to wait to see who is the champion later this week. Banana Senga will be defending the title against SAGAT in a few days time on 18th April. Tsukamoto said he shares the record for most MAX Title defences in a single reign with Ryota Nakatsu. He wants to be the champion again so he can surpass that record. He feels the pressure to get it done because he beat Isami Kodaka to get here.

Aijin Tag won their preview match against Lil’ Kraken but thought Yasu Urano was more of a threat than their actual next challenger for the IRON FIST Tag Titles.

The Jacket Match ended with both FUMA and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi strangling each other over the corner ropes with their gi belts wrapped around each other’s necks. Hiroshi lost consciousness first so FUMA was declared the winner by Referee Stoppage.

Today’s court case accused Daichi Kazato of violating the Cannabis Control Law. Banana Senga told Gouma Ryu he heard rumours of Kazato smoking weed in locker rooms night after night. Kazato’s defence was he is only smoking pine weed because he needs alpha-pinene, which is found in pine. Kazato beat Senga in the wrestling portion of the trial to prove his innocence.

Yuni Aiming For Heavyweight, Max & Pom Teaming Up, KOJIO Appears

April 6, 2023

I’m about to go on holiday so if there’s not posts here for the next two weeks it’s because of that. The Tokyo Joshi Pro talent that had their flight cancelled earlier in the week eventually made it home but it sounds like they had a real frustrating experience getting their. Then there’s the news coming out of last night where The 37KAMIINA, Maki Itoh and Mizuki were on the AEW Dark Elevation taping that took place before Dynamite. Then when Dynamite was over Konosuke Takeshita and Miyu Yamashita were on the ROH taping that was held right after it. I’ll write about all of that in next month’s Around The World article.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2023”, 09/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: MJ Paul & KANON Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi
1. Rukiya Debut Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya
2. Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Gota Ihashi Vs Akito, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Toy Kojima
3. Harimao Vs Eruption!: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
4. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Yuni

6. WORLD HINO CLASSIC ~Finals~: Yuji Hino, “brother” YASSHI & Makoto Oishi Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura

For the next step in his career, Yuni wants to wrestle in Osaka and Tokyo as much as possible. The reasons are he is from Osaka and has made a lot of friends in Tokyo too. He ultimately wants to grow into a heavyweight but still be able to do high flying just like Tetsuya Endo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Yuki Aino, Haruna Neko & Haru Kazashiro Vs Suzume, Arisu Endo & Runa Okubo

6. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Vert Vixen
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Nao Kakuta

What’s this? Max The Impaler is returning to Japan wanting to regain the Princess Tag Team Titles that they lost last month. However they are going on their own because Heidi Howitzer has other matters in the Wasteland to deal with. What can Max do? They demanded to team with one person in particular… Pom Harajuku?!? Max’s obsession with Pom has now turned them from enemies into the unlikeliest of tag teams!

All four current members of The Up Up Girls are teaming together as a foursome for the first time.

Rookies Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo will be on opposite teams for the first time ever. All of their previous matches since their debuts had them teaming together.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION IN NIIGATA”, 16/04/2023

The main event will consist of four baseball bats all rigged to explode at the touch of a button at ringside. The explosions are being advertised to be three times as powerful as usual.

Mizuki Watase is also back from America and ready to face the challenge of Keisuke Ishii. I still haven’t found out what new skills Watase learned over in the US.

The Grappling Tag Match can only be won by submission or ref stoppage. Strikes are prohibited and rope breaks will not count towards breaking up holds.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CLIMB OVER ’23”, 22/04/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

3. Shota Debut 15th Anniversary Special Single Match: Shota Vs Isami Kodaka

Something new for Ganbare☆Pro is a Gauntlet Tag Match. Shota has invited a lot of wrestlers close to him to take part in it.

GANBARE☆PRO “THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 2023”, 22/04/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. 3 Way Match: Shota Vs Munetatsu Nakamura Vs KOJIO
2. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku!: Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita
3. Mizuki Watase, Yumehito Imanari & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & Takuya Wada

The last GanPro show before they go to Korakuen Hall features a Sento Minzoku invasion. Isami Kodaka is already involved thanks to Shota inviting him over but Minoru Fujita is tagging along with him.

A monster wrestler from the UMA Corps named KOJIO is making its GanPro debut. It very recently emerged in ChocoPro but has also been sighted in wrestling rings across America, Singapore and Thailand over the last year.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUN LOLA RUN 2023”, 29/04/2023
Osaka 176BOX

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Marika Kobashi
2. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs The 37KAMIINA: Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Ken Ohka & Hartley Jackson Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Shinichiro Tominaga & Tyson Maeguchi

The 37KAMIINA are sending Yuki Ueno & MAO over to visit GanPro. Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura will be waiting for them.

The working relationship with P.P.P. Tokyo brings Marika Kobashi back to GanPro for another appearance.

Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Soma Takao will both be on the show.

TJPW Heading Back To Japan, BASARA Title Matches, Akiyama Enters Fish Vs Meat Feud

April 2, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 08/04/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara & Toga Vs Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
2. Hikari Noa Vs Shinno Suzuki
3. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Raku Vs HIMAWARI
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Haruna Neko Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
6. Mizuki & Moka Miyamoto Vs Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku

This will be the show where mostly everyone comes back from America. We already know that Miyu Yamashita is now on her excursion and Maki Itoh still has a few more bookings to do over there. Yuka Sakazaki is also missing this show due to overseas commitments. So that means she’s probably showing up at the AEW Rampage & Battle Of The Belts taping on Friday.

Haru Kazashiro recently turned 15 so this will be her first match as a high school student.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
2. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Vert Vixen
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Nao Kakuta

Vert Vixen’s tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro will be highlighted with an International Princess Title match against Rika Tatsumi.

BASARA “BASARA 215 ~KOO~”, 15/04/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Basara Strange Style Jacket Match: FUMA Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

A surprise Union MAX Title change last week has thrown BASARA for a loop. Isami Kodaka wants to get his title back as soon as possible but he isn’t getting an automatic rematch. Takumi Tsukamoto also lost his CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title on the same show so he doesn’t have a claim for the No. 1 Contendership. The two agreed to fight each other and the winner will get a future title shot.

Both FUMA and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi are claiming to be the No. 1 ranked fighter in the Basara Strange Style Jacket matches. They will face each other to decide who really is No. 1.

Minoru Fujita will be on the show having his first match in BASARA since December.

BASARA “BASARA 216 ~KOO~”, 18/04/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka
2. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga (c) Vs SAGAT

The person who is facing Banana Senga for the MAX Title is SAGAT! Both men won singles championships last week, Senga getting the MAX Title and SAGAT getting the CCW Title. Only the MAX Title is on the line here.

Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka decided to team with each other because they are both wrestlers from Tochigi. They are immediately facing Aijin Tag for the IRON FIST Tag Titles.

DDT “YAMADA FISHERIES PRESENTS 4.23 SHIBUSHI FISH MEAT DECISIVE BATTLE @ UNAGI STATION”, 23/04/2023
Kagoshima Shibushi City Unagi Station

1. Shibushi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shiro Koshinaka, Toru Owashi & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
2. Fish Vs Meat Full-Scale Battle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida

Jun Akiyama replaces the injured Yukio Naya in the Fish Vs Meat tag match.

Yuki Ueno will not be at the show because he has a role in a stage play that day.

BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~” Results

March 28, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~”, 28/03/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Leo Isaka defeated Lil’ Kraken with an Inverted Hurricanrana (8:49).
2. Basara Strange Style Jacket Match: Gouma Ryu defeated Ryota Nakatsu by Disqualification (R3 1:08).
3. FUMA & KUBITO defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when FUMA submitted Sekine with the Cross Armbreaker (11:09).
4. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakano pinned Kazato after a Two Story Diving Body Press (8:59).
5. CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: SAGAT defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with an Argentine Backbreaker (12:42).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V5. SAGAT becomes the 14th CCW Canadian Heavyweight Champion!
6. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the Koryu (15:38).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V6. Banana Senga becomes the 18th Union MAX Champion!

The Japanese indies are being taken over by Speed Of Sounds. Last month Tsutomu Oosugi won his first singles title by becoming the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Champion. It inspired his tag team partner Banana Senga to challenge Isami Kodaka for the Union MAX Title. Today in an upset Senga pinned Kodaka to win that championship! Kodaka asked for a rematch only to be told by Takumi Tsukamoto that the loser of the match shouldn’t be doing that. SAGAT then came out and reminded Tsukamoto he beat him earlier in the show so Tsukamoto can’t ask for a title shot either. Senga decided that Kodaka and Tsukamoto should fight each other for the No. 1 Contendership but in the meantime he needs another challenger. SAGAT stepped forward and said they can have a title match together on 18th April.

Please inform the nation of Canada that SAGAT is now their champion. He won the obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title from Tsukamoto and now has a chance to become a Double Crown champion in BASARA. Tsukamoto has the contact details for CCW and according to him they are relatively easy to get in touch with. SAGAT will need their permission to authorize title defences but the good news is they are usually quick to respond to those requests.

Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka challenged Aijin Tag to a IRON FIST Tag Titles match on 18th April. Kraken told them he’s always wanted to join a unit in BASARA but he has no chance of fitting in with any of the current ones. So he decided to team with Isaka instead because they are both from Tochigi.

8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura

After a long, grueling and dramatic tournament that was one match long, the World Hino Classic has finally reached the final. Pheromones must face Ω again but this time Yuji Hino’s senior from his high school wrestling club “brother” YASSHI is on the team! Pheromones must win if Yuki Iino wants any chance of getting a KO-D Openweight Title shot.

The challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles showed their confidence in very different ways during a press conference today. HARASHIMA pointed out that he & Keigo Nakamura have a 100% win rate as a team. Nakamura showed his determination by threatening to eat a live cockroach he brought along in a jar! Shunma Katsumata stopped him from going ahead with it.

GANBARE☆PRO “SHOTA DEBUT 15TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCE SHOW 2023”, 22/04/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

The last show on today’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleshot ended up shaping a lot of the card for Ganpro’s return to Korakuen Hall on 5th May. In the main event The All-Star Junior All-Stars defeated ROMANCE DAWN to advance to the tournament final. They will now face Hentai Punch Drunkers at Korakuen to determine the first ever Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. It left Junior Stars in a familiar position because Tatsuhito Takaiwa became the first Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion by beatin Yumehito Imanari in a tournament final a year and a half ago. They vowed to win the Tag Titles by drinking highballs together during their post-match interview.

Earlier today on Mizuki Watase’s own produce show, Keisuke Ishii pinned him clean. Then on this show Ishii eliminated Watase in the 6-Man Tag Match. This resulted in Ishii challenging Watase for the SOG Title on 5th May because he has never won a singles main event in Korakuen. Watase accepted the challenge so he can show the world not only his own strength but the greatness of Ganpro too.

Isami Kodaka was in attendance to be in Daiki Shimomura’s corner for his match against Munetatsu Nakamura. His presence attracted the attention of several Ganpro wrestlers. First, Shota asked Kodaka to be his opponent for his 15th Anniversary mach on 22nd April. Kodaka accepted and shook Shota’s hand. Seems friendly enough. Then the mood of the room changed after Shimomura beat Nakamura by submission. Nakamura refused to shake his opponent’s hand after the match and Ken Ohka spoke about his frustration over Ganpro being unable to beat any of the wrestlers from Sento Minzoku. Kodaka said he can tell Nakamura has guts but he doesn’t sense if Ohka has any. This led to a Ganpro Vs Sento Minzoku match being set up for 5th May.
