Kazusada Higuchi was missing from this past weekend’s shows because of an infection. He has been given permission from his doctor to take part in tomorrow’s Shuten-dōji farewell show.

Poison Sawada JULIE and one of his creations Hoshihebi have been added to the tag gauntlet. JULIE warns everyone that he will burn down Shinjuku FACE with glowing lotus flames!

BASARA “BASARA 94 ~BANQUET~”, 23/04/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Best Stretchman V3

For years now Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga have been rivals in the court. They get along when they are away from the criminal justice system so let’s see how they work as a tag team.

Jun Masaoka doesn’t want to get along with anybody but he is pretty much a part of the current BASARA rookie generation. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino have been teaming together anyway. A third partner for them wouldn’t hurt.

DDT “SOUKEN HOLDINGS PRESENTS MAX BUMP 2019”, 28/04/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Pokotan (w/ Danshoku Dieno)
2. Keisuke Okuda Farewell Match: Keisuke Okuda, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kota Umeda, Mizuki Watase & Yuki Iino

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 4 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (?) Vs MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

For his first KO-D Openweight Title defence, Tetsuya Endo has chosen Makoto Oishi to be his opponent because he is guaranteed to beat him. That was proven over the weekend when Endo submitted Oishi in the main event of Sunday’s show. Oishi thinks he has a chance because he could outsmart Endo with his wrestling knowledge. Endo thinks he has everything in his arsenal to beat Oishi anyway no matter how Oishi uses his head when they wrestle.

There is a lot of craziness surrounding the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Konosuke Takeshita challenged the new champions DAMNATION because he wants to get revenge for losing the KO-D Title to Daisuke Sasaki in New York. The Moonlight Express want to get their rematch because they are the former champions. Newcomers Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins saw an opportunity to get involved in the title picture and also want to be in the match. So we are getting a 4 Way Match for the belts. Now there is a new bump in the road for ALL OUT because it was announced today that Shunma Katsumata is out of action for an undetermined amount of time with a left ankle injury.

The mascot Pokotan wrestles in a DDT ring for the first time since its debut at “JUDGEMENT 2019”.

4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

With 10 defences under her belt and two championships over her shoulders, Miyu Yamashita has been looking mighty unbeatable lately. Yuka Sakazaki has been the same and both of them have more overseas bookings they’re looking forward too. Sadly for Shoko Nakajima when it comes to the most established power trio of Tokyo Joshi she’s been feeling left out. Well no more! Nakajima has challenged Yamashita for the TOKYO Princess Title at Korakuen Hall. Will Anguirus topple Godzilla?

Misao is constantly telling everyone that Hyper Misao is dead and never coming back. Rika Tatsumi doesn’t believe her and is willing to fight her to prove the superhero is still alive in there somewhere. Miu Watanabe has been constantly fighting and losing to NEO Biishiki-gun ever since Misao joined the unit. With the Up Up Girls now down one member and her other partners currently taking separate paths, she gets another chance to stand up to Sakisama.

Kikutaro’s original opponent Kuishinbo Kamen cannot compete because of an injury so the match has been cancelled. Antonio Honda has asked to be Kikutaro’s new opponent because it is what he wants more than anything else in his life.

2. Tanomusaku Toba defeated Yumehito Imanari by Knockout with a Straight Right (5:50).
3. Osamu Namiguchi & Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Tomohiro Otani when Namiguchi pinned Otani with the Lanakila-N (9:30).
4. Ken Ohka defeated Ganbare Tamagawa with the Flame Spear (14:10).

Even in defeat, Ganbare Tamagawa has been inspired by Ken Ohka to become stronger. Osamu Namiguchi & Kazuhiko Ogasawara confronted the two wrestlers after their match but was then cut off by Tanomusaku Toba. Toba challenged Ogasawara to a match and offered a handshake. Ogasawara accepted both. Tamagawa however charged at Namiguchi and the two had to be pulled apart. Both Toba Vs Ogasawara and Tamagawa Vs Namiguchi will take place in Saitama on 21st July.

Suddenly, Survival Tobita made a dramatic entrance. He does not take kindly to Ganbare☆Pro coming into his territory. Ohka and Yumehito Imanari challenged Tobita to a tag team match on 21/7. Tobita accepted and said his partner will be a Phantom!

Tomohiro Otani, the failed SMASH trainee was the person with the amateur wrestling background chosen to team with Shinichiro Tominaga to take on Osamu Namiguchi & Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Unfortunately for Otani, Namiguchi was too strong for him.

Lady Steel appeared demanding to know why she wasn’t booked for the show. She wants to be the Cinderella of Ganbare☆Wrestling and will beat anyone for the title. Ken Ohka gave her a new name, Gorikiko (meaning “Herculean Strength Steel”) and announced she will face Tsukasa Fujimoto on 21/7.

Even though Yumehito Imanari was knocked out, he told Tanomusaku Toba after their match that he had fun and wanted to wrestle him one more time. He even began to cry when he asked for the rematch.

Fumihito Kihara injured his left elbow during the opener.

Shota Vs Crusher Takahashi will happen at the 21/7 event.

The main event was made when Ganbare Tamagawa approached Ken Ohka at the Ganbare☆Pro ticket stand at Sunday’s DDT show. Tamagawa said he didn’t join Ohka’s promotion to put in a half-baked effort and instead wanted to become strong and start winning matches. Ohka said he will teach him how to be strong and suggested they should wrestle each other.

Ohka then had a confrontation with Osamu Namiguchi. Osamu said his amateur wrestling skill is going to waste against the Ganbare crew. Ohka said no one in the company trained in amateur wrestling so Osamu challenged him to find an amateur wrestler to fight himself and Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Ohka said he will and the person he finds will team with Shinichiro Tominaga.

Ganbare☆Pro will hold their first show in Saitama on 21st July.

Nana Kawasa Vs L.A. DIVINE was cancelled when Divine refused to fight “such a pretty girl” and wanted to fight a man instead. Tatsuhiko Yoshino from Guts World accepted the challenge. DIVINE grabbed Yoshino’s crotch during the match and then deeply kissed the referee when he tried to stop her. The ref claimed he was assaulted and disqualified her.

5. Gachinko Cement Match: Ken Ohka defeated Brian Cannon with the Spear Of Fire onto the cement board (13:02).

Ganbare☆Pro held their first proper event and it was actually a success, claiming a Super No Vacancy crowd at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The main event was a grudge match between Ken Ohka and Brian Cannon. Ohka, who is quickly morphing into an Atsushi Onita type figure protecting his home promotion from outside forces by any means necessary. He wanted to prove that he never disgraced the honour of Cannon’s hero Jushin Liger. They fought in a Gachinko Cement match where a board with cement blocks on top was laid in the middle of the ring. The ending was pretty hardcore. Ohka drove Cannon through a table with the Fire Thunder from the middle rope. He then finished off his rival with the Spear of Fire onto the cement blocks. But he didn’t get a chance to celebrate his victory. Osamu Namiguchi attacked Ohka after the match and was joined in the ring by Kazuhiko Ogawasawa. The karate master said he was hired to destroy Ganbare☆Pro. Ohka and Shinichiro Tominaga challenged Ogawasawa & Namiguchi to a tag team match at Ganpuro’s next preview event on 10th May.

Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tomohiro Otani was supposed to be the opening match but Otani was nowhere to be found. Ohka and Yumehito Imanari both came out of the ring cursing him for escaping. The match was moved to the third spot of the card and Otani finally appeared apologizing and reluctantly agreeing to wrestle. Tominaga beat him with the Satan Doll, his name for the RKO.

Nana Kawasa said she wants to become the Cinderella of Ganpuro.
