THE HALFEE Loses GWC 6-Man Tag Titles

June 14, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 19/06/2021

1. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuka Sakazaki Vs Shoko Nakajima & Nodoka Tenma

Both Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “ERASER HEAD 2021”, 27/06/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Semi Final: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase
2. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Semi Final: Asuka & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Keisuke Ishii & HARUKAZE
3. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

Mostly everybody who was eliminated in Round 1 will still be wrestling on the show. Shinjiro Otani will be competing too after Yumehito Imanari asked him to help Ganbare☆Pro grow to the next level.

Yesterday THE HALFEE defended the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles at a TTT show in Shinjuku FACE. They lost the title match to the combination of Guts Ishijima & Speed Of Sounds (together they are called Guts Of Sounds). To be fair the championships originally belonged to Ishijima back when Guts World was around so it is only fitting that he eventually got them back for his current promotion. He straight up claims the belts are his family heirlooms. However, Ken Ohka was in attendance to support THE HALFEE and he challenged the new champions for the belts next month. Ishijima accepted and later said he wants to seal the championship after he clears out Ohka’s team.

So for now Ganpro no longer has any championships they can use for title matches on their own shows. That might not last long because some of the wrestlers in the Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament heard rumours of a brand new Mixed Tag Team Championship being rewarded to the winners. I mean it is about time that Ganpro has a championship to call its own. A Mixed Tag Title would clearly stand out on the indies scene over there.

At a recent HEAT-UP show Shota defeated Joji Otani in a singles match. Shota told him if he wanted a rematch it would have to be in a Ganpro ring. Otani approached Ganpro asking to get another match with Shota, this time for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Ganpro is giving him what he wants and even provided the tag partners for him.

The Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title gets its own all star match with the current champion as well as previous champions teaming up against each other. The theme is both teams have a combined 11 title defences between them. Ken Ohka has 3 defences and Isami Kodaka has 8. Keisuke Ishii has 6 defences and Shuichiro Katsumura has 5.

Shuhei Washida is going through a trial series of singles matches, as is normal for pro wrestling rookies. First up he gets Shigehiro Irie.
