2. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Masashi Takeda when Ishii pinned Tominaga with the Kneel Kick (9:43).

4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 4: HARASHIMA defeated Ken Ohka with the Somato (11:49).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) defeated Mizuki Watase & Jun Kasai when Katsumura pinned Watase with the Triple Three 3 Lock (25:25).
*V2 for Sussun Katsun.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Avalanche Kawazu Otoshi (25:25).
*V8 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event was built around two back to back matches featuring Mizuki Watase and Shuichiro Katsumura. The first match was a tag bout where Sussun Katsun put the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles on the line against Watase and his FREEDOMS partner Jun Kasai. The challengers had some fun by putting Katsumura & Yuya Susumu on separate trolleys that were then crashed into each other up on the entrance stage. They also did something more violent by digging bundles of skewers into the heads of the champions. However, Katsumura made a comeback on Watase and put him in the Triple Three 3 Lock while Susumu held Kasai in the Crossface. Katsumura twisted Watase over so his shoulders were pinned to the mat for a three count, marking a successful title defence for Sussun Katsun.

The ring cleared and a preview video for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match began to play so Watase and Katsumura could get a little breather before making their entrances back down to the ring. When the match began, Watase taunted Katsumura for throwing tired strikes at him before inviting him down to the canvas for some mat based grappling. Katsumura shouted that he has plenty of energy left and proved it by taking the fight outside and throwing Watase into a row of chairs at ringside. When their own finishers couldn’t put each other away, Watase took Jun Kasai’s pair of goggles and hit the Pearl Harbor Splash for a nearfall. Katsumura took a page out of Susumu’s book by using the Crossface. He also relied a lot on the Moonsault but that couldn’t get him the pin. Katsumura went up top once too often and Watase climbed up after him. From the top rope, Watase gave Katsumura a Russian Leg Sweep down to the mat and that was enough for him to retain his championship.

Watase said afterwards that even though no titles changed hands today, he and Katsumura gave it their all to pull off a tough challenge. It’s even more impressive that Katsumura could do this at the age of 50. Watase told the fans that everybody has lives to lead so they have to try. For the times when they can’t find them motivation they should then come to watch Ganbare☆Pro so everybody can give it their all together!

Ken Ohka has been facing criticism within his own promotion over how many matches he’s been booking to celebrate his 25th Anniversary in wrestling this year. Today’s match with HARASHIMA is the fourth and after it ended, Ohka’s opponent stood up for him over the idea. HARASHIMA does find it funny that Ohka keeps finding opponents for matches like these but he’s perfectly fine with it. If it means Ohka gets to book matches you don’t normally get to see in GanPro then what is the problem? HARASHIMA then suggested he and Ohka should have rematches next year and the year after for Ohka’s 26th and 27th Anniversaries. HARASHIMA is certain he will win both of them too, because he trains! Ohka likes the idea and wants to push it even further to his 30th Anniversary. It’s all because Ohka is now starting a five year plan towards the goal of finally beating HARASHIMA.

The Yuki Kamifuku retirement tour took a stop in GanPro today. She remembers this was the first promotion outside of Tokyo Joshi Pro and DDT that she wrestled in and wanted to come here one last time. She was happy to team up with Tyson Maeguchi because he has a happy, upbeat vibe that’s different to everyone else in GanPro. She thinks Yumehito Imanari has a handsome face but there is something off about him that she can’t put her finger on. As for YuuRI, Kamifuku is jealous that YuuRI has gotten to experience so much in wrestling that she never could. She thinks YuuRI is hitting her stride and has become the star of the Ganbare☆Joshi division. So maybe when Kamifuku has retired from wrestling she might drop by GanPro every now and then. She could even bring along a handsome guy to watch the show with.

The first match of GanPro’s next Korakuen Hall show on 22nd December has been announced. YuuRI will take on Mika Iwata from Sendai Girls!

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE IS STEROIDS 2026”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
122 Fans

1. Sentaro Motojima defeated Kento Kiryu with a Crab Hold (7:40).
2. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ryota Nakatsu when Maeguchi pinned Tominaga with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (12:26).
3. Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami defeated Keisuke Ishii & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (13:00).
4. Yumehito Imanari & YuuRI defeated Hyo Ogawa & Saito when YuuRI pinned Saito with a Rolling Leg Folding Hold (17:23).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Daiki Shimomura defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Nakagawa & SUSHI when Katsumura submitted SUSHI with the Ninja Choke (21:24).

With the main event going over twenty minutes, Shuichiro Katsumura claimed the match was a total breeze and bragged that he wasn’t feeling tired at all. He is also going to be wrestling in a tag team tournament for BASARA later today where he could possibly wrestle twice in one show. If he ends up wrestling three times today then Katsumura thinks it will be a piece of cake for him. Mizuki Watase bragged about his own schedule, having already wrestled six matches this month, then wrestling in a Glass Board Death Match over in FREEDOMS, then doing a crazy mat wrestling match before bouncing back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka to do another death match. The real test of endurance between them has begun and Watase has not hit his physical limit yet. Katsumura promised their two back to back matches at Korkauen Hall at the end of the month will be really intense. Backstage Yuya Susumu accused Watase of only having singles matches on his mind so much that he doesn’t realize Susumu will be his opponent too. If he’s going to rely on Jun Kasai for the tag match then he’ll be in for a rude awakening.

When the show was over, Ken Ohka got into the ring and got Yumehito Imanari to tape an interview with him about his upcoming match with HARASHIMA. Ohka said HARASHIMA isn’t a smart person then admitted he’s only saying that because HARASHIMA does not have any weaknesses. Imanari asked if doing this is an act of disrespect and Ohka got defensive over it. He also started arguing that he hasn’t run out of ideas for his series of 25th Anniversary matches. When he said he’s going to keep coming up with matches for the series, the fans booed him. Ohka also had to comment on behalf of his Toyama team of wrestlers over allegations that the Toyama prefecture has been inflating their population numbers in a recent census. There have been calls for the Toyama group to disband over the controversy but Ohka defiantly says they will continue.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. GAJI Debut Match: Shota & Ryoma Tsukamoto defeated GAJI & Makoto Oishi when Shota pinned Oishi with the Gannosuke Clutch (8:54).
2. Special Tag Match: Marika Kobashi & Azusa Inaba defeated Mio Shirai & Yuuki Minami when Kobashi pinned Shirai after a Back Drop from Inaba (5:29).
3. Special Tag Match: Kumadori & Saira defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Yuki Kamifuku when Kumadori pinned Kuroshio with the Corkscrew Senton (12:10).
4. Special Single Match: CIMA defeated Ken Ohka with the Meteora (12:31).
5. 4 Way Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa, Thanomsak Toba & Gym Trainer Kotoka and Fuminori Abe & Mac Matsushita when Shu pinned Takagi after the Gotai Fumanzoku (14:08).
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuji Nagata (c) defeated Satoshi Kojima with the Back Drop Hold (13:28).
*V? for Yuji Nagata.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yuji Nagata (c) with a Cradle (9:10 pm).
*Sanshiro Takagi becomes the 1,912th champion.

The last time Yuji Nagata and Satoshi Kojima had a singles match against each other was eleven years ago at the 2015 G1 Climax. Today stood across the ring from each other as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. An added bonus was Nagata being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion going into the match (he very briefly lost it and won it back from Manabu Nakanishi during an interview for his Youtube channel during the week) which meant the main event now had a title on the line. This was treated as a much bigger deal than previous Iron Man Title bouts because Shuichi Nishinaga from NOAH was brought in to be the referee, Fumihito Kihara formerly of All Japan was the special ring announcer and Masayuki Uchida was part of the pre-match ceremony.

Nagata defeated Kojima to successfully defend the title by using a Kneel Kick, an Enzuigiri and then the Back Drop Hold for the three count. He thanked the fans afterward because their cheers gave him strength. He also told Kojima to continue doing his best because the two of them are the last remaining wrestlers from New Japan’s “Third Generation” that are still active. Sanshiro Takagi then gathered everyone together to close out the show. Since this is Super Japan’s final show in Shinjuku FACE, Takagi hopes the promotion will find a new venue to continue running shows with Nagata as the company ace. Suddenly when Nagata was saying his catchphrase, his young lion at ringside Tatsuya Matsumoto tried to roll him up to win the title! Nagata kicked out but was so distracted by what happened that Takagi then rolled him up and got the pinfall to become the new champion.

Years of traumatic history hung over Ken Ohka’s match with CIMA. Ohka, believe it or not, was originally a Toryumon student way back in the day but flunked out of there and never debuted for the promotion. His failure put him in a dark place but he continued to seek out a pro wrestling career because he loves it so much. He knows CIMA has gone through some rough times too so he encouraged him to keep wrestling even if his limbs ever stop working. CIMA admitted he’s been scammed four times in his life and the most recent was a wire transfer scam that many other people fall for. He joked that he holds the record for the highest financial loss in history.

Fuminori Abe got a little too giddy over the occasion and told everyone during his match he would spray paint the word “Anal” onto the wall. He lived up to his word. He was apologetic about it at the end of the show and promised to clean off the graffiti. I don’t know if he properly cleaned it away but he at least sprayed more paint on the wall to cover up the word.

If Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was going to team up with Yuki Kamifuku, he was going to do it on Kamiyu’s terms. She pulled off Kuroshio’s jacket before the match and made him wear her own entrance jacket. He asked everyone if he looked cute but Saira in particular said no. Kuroshio later grabbed Saira into a Full Nelson and told Kamifuku to call her ugly but she refused. Saira damaged Kuroshio’s ego further when he had a dance off with Kumadori and Saira said Kumadori looked cooler. Kuroshio hit her with an Enzuigiri and also knocked down Kamifuku so the match would just be between him and Kumadori. Kamifuku got revenge by giving her tag partner the Diving Famouser. The other team followed up with Saira hitting the Sky Twister Press followed by Kumadori doing the Corkscrew Senton for the victory.

2. Takuya Wada defeated Shota Kawakami with a Northern Lights Suplex (6:37).
3. Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe defeated Shigehiro Irie & Sentaro Motojima when Abe submitted Motojima with the Manjigatame (13:51).
4. Minoru Suzuki, Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase defeated Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Flame Spear (19:30).

The rain turned out to be harder than originally forecast but thanks to the use of a big tarp hanging over the ring, Ganbare☆Pro was able to hold their annual outdoor wrestling sho at Tokorozawa Park Town in Saitama. During the main event Minoru Suzuki dragged Keisuke Ishii into the nearby Fresh Ariyama greengrocer and attacked him with several vegetables. Suzuki’s team ended up isolating Shinichiro Tominaga from Ishii & Yumehito Imanari. The finish came when Mizuki Watase gave Tominaga a Vertical Drop Brainbuster, Suzuki then squeezed Tominaga with a Sleeper Hold and then Ken Ohka used the Flame Spear on Tominaga to get the win.

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yumehito Imanari with a Running Elbow (17:51).
*V7 for Mizuki Watase.

After complaining about Ganbare☆Pro’s lack of telling stories with their recent match bookings, Yumehito Imanari failed to capitalize on his own big story today. On the day he turned 41 years old, Imanari thought it would be exciting if he could win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on his birthday. He couldn’t break through Mizuki Watase though with every Lariat and Elbow Strike only getting a two count on the champion. Watase then stopped Imanari in his tracks with a Dropkick, used the Venetian for a nearfall and finally put Imanari away with the Running Elbow. Imanari blamed his loss on Ken Ohka sending him a Happy Birthday email at 11:40 am when Imanari expected to receive it at midnight. He exclaimed that even Chikara Momota wished him a happy birthday before Ohka did! Imanari then called Watase a wild card and wrestling is in need of more wild cards. Watase told Imanari that GanPro cannot function without him because his pro wrestling is full of love.

Watase’s victory speech was soon interrupted by Shuichiro Katsumura and the two started talking about GanPro’s next Korakuen Hall show on 31st October. Katsumura said he never had a singles match with Watase so they should have one. Watase agreed but Katsumura then talked about wanting to become a double champion again. Watase likes the sound of that and wants a chance to become one too so he challenged Sussun Katsun for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Jun Kasai as his tag partner. Katsumura suggested they do the tag title match on 12th October but Watase turned it down because he wants both title matches to happen at Korakuen on the same show! Michiyoshi Mishima decided that both title matches will happen on 31st October but the SOG Tag Titles match will be the opener while the SOG World Title match is the main event. Suddenly Watase and Katsumura both started arguing with Mishima because the two of them want to do the title matches back to back! Mishima accepted the idea but only promised to do it if FREEDOMS agree to let Kasai do it. They did and the two matches are confirmed for Hallowe’en night. If that’s not enough title matches for Watase, he will soon be challenging for the King Of FREEDOM World Title and the Tenryu Project 6-Man Tag Team Titles too!

There were some changes to the Toyama Vs Naka Ward match. First, Shinichiro Tominaga had to pull out of the show due to family circumstances. Ken Ohka & Masashi Takeda talked to the audience at the start of the show asking if there was a wrestler from Toyama among them willing to fill in for Tominaga? They unexpectedly got an answer from Uta Shima, a joshi wrestler who often takes part in amateur pro wrestling clubs as an Asuka parody named ASHUKA. She accepted their offer to prevent the bout from becoming a Handicap Match. The other change was the match now took place under Elimination Rules which included getting thrown out of the ring Battle Royal style. Katsumura’s team won and Abdullah Kobayashi credited himself for the good result. Katsumura & Minoru Fujita both tend to disagree with that and tried to ignore Kobayashi’s requests to join the Naka Ward Assembly.

The result of the opener didn’t sit well with Non Toraga. She hit Moeka Haruhi with an Elbow Strike after the match, unhappy that she was pinned by Haruhi’s Cradle move when she had victory in her grasp.

It will still be a while before Yuna Manase returns to the ring from injury but she had kept herself busy. During her time away she held an audition to find disciples she can train into becoming pro wrestlers for the Ganbare☆Joshi division. Today she introduced everyone to her two trainees. En is a long time GanPro fan who wants to become the first woman in the “GanPro Universe” to become a GanJo wrestler. However she is not some starstruck fan doing this to become friends with the wrestlers. She intends to fight with everything she’s got and earn her support from the fans. Nono Nakajima is a pro mahjong player from Osaka. She wants to become a cheerful and energetic wrestler who embodies the passionate spirit of GanPro. The trainees will be learning from Manase, YuuRI and the rest of the GanJo division as they prepare for their debuts.

Muntatsu Nakamura was in attendance and gave everyone an update on his injury status. The surgery on his ACL was a success and he should be able to walk without crutches starting next week. He expects it will be Summer next year when he is fully fit to return to wrestling. Until then he is focusing on strengthening his body so he can come back strong0.

The show took an early intermission after the second match when a problem was found with the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Sentaro Motojima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase defeated Sentaro Motojima with an Elbow Butt (10:52).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (9:50).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI when Takeda pinned YuuRI with the U-Crush (12:10).
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Yumehito Imanari defeated Ken Ohka with the Lariat (14:03).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) defeated Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Katsumura submitted Haruhi with the Ninja Choke (18:03).
*V1 for Sussun Katsun.

There was plenty of support for Moeka Haruhi inside Shin-Kiba 1st RING this evening. She received a bouquet from members of the Kofu Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division before the main event. When Rydeen Hagane was tagged in early, Shuichiro Katsumura tried luring her into a grappling contest by lying on his back. He abandoned the strategy when the plan wasn’t opening up and opportunity for him to win. In fact, Hagane turned out to be a lot for Katsumura & Yuya Susumu to handle because they struggled to keep her down. They were finally able to get rid of her and wear down Haruhi with big moves so Katsumura could submit her with the Ninja Choke for a successful Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles defence.

After the match, Katsumura said that it does not matter in Ganbare☆Pro if you are a man or a woman. The GanPro ring is where strong, hard working people rise to the top. Sussun Katsun will now wait for their next challengers and they welcome Hagane to challenge them as many times as she wants. Haruhi echoed those sentiments backstage where she told reporters there is no glass ceiling in GanPro. Anyone whether they are male or female can challenge for championships here if they have the qualifications. Back in the ring, the champs promoted Susumu’s big match in FREEDOMS tomorrow where he will fight for the King Of FREEDOM Jr. Heavyweight Title. Susumu promised to take the spirit of GanPro with him so he can win that championship. Mizuki Watase then got into the ring. He is also on tomorrow’s FREEDOMS show where he will be defending the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Jun Kasai! He encourages everyone in GanPro to go take over FREEDOMS.

The third match held this year to celebrate Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary took place today. Yumehito Imanari is fed up of these matches getting booked and although he won the match, he wasn’t able to beat the idea out of Ohka. After the match he told Ohka it is a pro wrestler’s job to work hard and find reasons to fight. Using anniversaries as a crutch this much defeats that purpose. Somebody had to call Ohka out on it so Imanari took it upon himself to do it. From now on he will call out anyone in GanPro for saying something stupid otherwise GanPro isn’t going to make it! He already heard rumours that Ohka wants to have matches for his 25th Anniversary and also for his 50th birthday next year. If these kind of matches are here to stay then Imanari will book one of his own on 22nd September to celebrate his 41st birthday! And unlike Ohka, he’s come up with a good reason for it to happen too. He wants to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on his birthday! Since Watase has the title match against Kasai happening tomorrow, Michiyoshi Mishima told Imanari he will wait until he gets the result of that match before he decides to grant Imanari a title shot on his birthday. Meanwhile Ohka did not learn his lesson and had already booked a fourth match to celebrate his 25th Anniversary later this year! He is going to face HARASHIMA on 31st October at GanPro’s next Korkauen Hall event.

Continuing the anniversary talk, it’s been just over a year since Sentaro Motojima had his debut match. He fought Watase one on one in the opener and fell to Watase’s Elbow Butt. Watase told him after the match he did not hold back against him in order to show what the difference is between them right now. He looks forward to seeing Motojima reach the point where he can challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. Motojima must learn what didn’t work for him against Watase today and use that knowledge to climb up to the top.

Some regional conflict popped up again after the show. Ohka rallied up members of Team Toyama after the show to make plans for GanPro’s trip Yokohama on 22nd September. Katsumura interrupted their meeting on behalf of the Naka Ward Association and promised to gather his own wrestlers to fight Team Toyama at that show.

We’ve come a long way from Suzume becoming a pro wrestler because she looked up to Rika Tatsumi. Now it is their fate to fight over the Tokyo Princess Cup! It will be the first time the final will pit one champion against the other, Suzume being the International Princess Champion and Tatsumi holding one of the Princess Tag Team Titles.

The two losing semi-finalists have to deal with the consolation prize of teaming up together HIMAWARI & Toga will be facing a newly motivated Chika Nanase (her homecoming show was recently announced) and the returning Kira Summer.

Whenever Tokyo Joshi Pro has two rookies who have yet to win a match it will be inevitable that they will be put in a match against each other so one of them can earn their first victory. Shion Kanzaki and Momo Sato are now being put in that position together.

Earlier this week a new Twitter account appeared and attracted the attention of the TJPW locker room. Over the following days it posted teases until today when it was revealed to be Tojojo, the brand new TJPW mascot. The promotion has been brainstorming on creating a mascot for a while now with everyone in the promotion drawing concept art of what it should look like. But what’s catching everyone there off guard is Tojojo has immediately claimed it will also be the new TJPW Manager. What that means we just have to wait and see.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
3. Sentaro Motojima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Sentaro Motojima
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Ken Ohka Vs Yumehito Imanari
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane

The pair now called Sussun Katsun have become the new Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. They made the same mistake a lot of champions make by saying they will take on any challenge thrown at them then get surprised when the challenge immediately appears in front of them. Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane have joined forces, describing their tag team like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also doesn’t want everyone to forget that she was one of the first women to work with Ganbare☆Pro well before the Ganbare☆Joshi division was ever established. So if there is any wrestler who deserves to fight for a GanPro championship, it’s her.

Is three commemorative matches too much to celebrate one anniversary? Ken Ohka is enjoying his 25th year in wrestling so much he doesn’t want the good time to end. He challenge his good pal Yumehito Imanari to a singles match so he too can join in on the fun. Unfortunately Imanari has gotten fed up with GanPro relying on wrestler anniversaries so often to promote their big matches. There are other stories these matches can be booked around you know! Imanari will take the match with Ohka but only so he can take his anger out on Ohka for being so greedy.

To make things a little more awkward, young Sentaro Motojima is going to celebrate the first anniversary of his debut match on the same show. Don’t worry Motojima, Imanari’s not mad at you. I’m sure of it.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Shinya Aoki Vs HARASHIMA Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ No Tag Rules: Yuki Ueno, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
4. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

From the mind of Yuki Ueno he will conjure up the trio of himself, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki has a possibly united force. The idea he has in mind is to put three skillful wrestlers together for a match against three young opponents who all have a world of potential ahead of them. Those three youngsters are Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato. The immediate reaction from Sasaki is unhappiness that he and Ilusion will be on opposite teams.

Three days after Shinya Aoki fights in RIZIN, he will be returning to DDT for a 3 Way Match. If he gets beaten badly by Mikuru Asakura then maybe HARASHIMA and Akito could both take it easy on him.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

It all depends on how things are going with DAMNATION T.A over the next month. Ilusion has become addicted to collecting championships so he went and challenged Strange Love Connection all by himself without consulting the rest of the unit. Sasaki seems to be okay with it which would continue his current apathetic behavior over who ultimately calls the shots within the group. Hideki Okatani will be on the challenger team looking for a chance to become a champion again so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title. SLC accepted Ilusion’s challenge because Viento Levante wants to beat him. KANON will also likely be motivated to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against the stable he once held the belts with before they kicked him out. Yukio Naya is just having a good time because it was his birthday recently and he gets to hang out with his friends a lot.

*The Deadlock fails in V3. Sussun Katsun become the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team champions!
6. Yamazaki Electric Presents – Special Single Match: Takumi Iroha defeated YuuRI with the Running Three (14:23).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Elbow To You, Dear (23:18).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event brought back the days of RENEGADES with Mizuki Watase entering the ring wearing a suit to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Shigehiro Irie. It was a match where Watase surpassed his close friend, almost knocking him out with Elbow Strikes. He also used a version of the Venetian that looked a lot like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on the same day that Hiroyoshi Tenzan was retiring from wrestling. Irie was still conscious from the strikes and had enough whereabotus to tell the referee not to stop the match. Instead, Irie continued to take the blows for one last stand until he fell towards Watase. He was caught and Watase thanked Irie before knocking him down with one last Elbow Strike and pinning him to win.

Watase thanked Irie again after the match and joked he can bring him to Disney Land sometime. Watase is proud to say everything he learned in wrestling was taught to him by Irie and he will become the greatest masterpiece Irie has ever trained. Irie didn’t want to take the credit and told Watase he did it all by himself. He remembers a beautiful show they saw together at Disney Land that featured a line once said by Walt Disney: “It’s just been a sort of dress rehearsal, and we’re just getting started.” Watase and Irie are only just getting started too. Later backstage Irie described the match as a “Dramatic Dream”. Watase understands that and does not forget where the two of them came from.

Takumi Iroha had been looking forward to her first singles match with YuuRI today. She always thought she had a knack for wrestling and the pre-match comments from YuuRI about surpassing her idol sounded kind of scary to her. Iroha is used to younger wrestlers who pick fights with her having a chip on their shoulder but she found it refreshing to see YuuRI express herself without trying to act cool about it. Iroha enjoyed wrestling her today and looks forward to crushing her again and again. YuuRI said she would give it her all to start a big revolution today but it didn’t happen. But if her performance motivated the fans to work harder then she can accept that result with no regrets.

New champions were crowned earlier in the show when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated The Deadlock to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Katsumura & Susumu also now have the team name Sussun Katsun. The MMA fighting vibes were felt throughout the match when Tyson Maeguchi pulled a tyre out to lure Katsumura into a Tyre Boxing fight. However the referee refused to let that happen and got rid of it. Katsumura ended up putting Takuya Wada into a Ninja Choke and tapped him out while Susumu held back Maeguchi in a Crossface. The Deadlock have said they want to remain a team after losing the titles but they may also go fight each other in a singles match to push each other into improving more.

After the match, Katsumura said there is no other 50 year old like him. Susumu can’t say that because he is 43. Sussun Katsun then opened themselves up to be challenged by anybody. Rydeen Hagane walked out to answer their call followed by her opponent earlier in the night Moeka Haruhi. The two decided they have to be the first challengers for the new tag champions. Katsumura & Susumu attempted to cheap shot them but Hagane knocked the both of them down with a Double Lariat. She and Haruhi then posed with the title belts. Backstage Haruhi described her team with Hagane like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also said she is the original Ganbare☆Joshi, having first appeared in GanPro during its debut year in 2013 as Gorikiko. So she thinks she definitely deserves to be a champion here!

Ken Ohka felt like he had a great day today. He took on a rare double booking at Korakuen Hall where he won both matches. First he beat Yumi Ohka in a Ohka Contra Ohka match that main evented a WAVE show (Yumi now cannot use the name Ohka for the next two and a half months) then later here in GanPro he scored the winning fall in a 6-Man Tag Match that continued the celebration of his 25th Anniversary in wrestling. Even more impressive, he pinned Isami Kodaka to get that second win. Now he’s feeling so good about this anniversary he wants to hold a third match to celebrate it and challenged Yumehito Imanari. However, Imanari got angry at the idea because he thinks Ganbare☆Pro has been relying too much on anniversaries in general lately to book their matches instead of coming up with other storylines. It’s annoying enough that Ohka wants a third commemorative match to begin with.

Today was the final GanPro show for referee Nido Teshima. He is the referee for TTT Pro Wrestling and will be retiring on 1st September, 2027 but today was his last appearance in GanPro. The roster gifted Teshima with a bouquet and celebrated with him to end the show.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Raku (c) Vs Yuki Iino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Akito Vs Soma Takao Vs Fuminori Abe Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs MJ Paul Vs Ilusion Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Masami Inahata

9. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
10. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
11. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Asset Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

This is the full lineup for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” but the match order has not been decided yet outside of the main event. Yuki Ueno got one over on MAO this past weekend by making him tap out to a Sleeper Hold. He thinks MAO isn’t hitting the heights of his potential for what should be the most important KO-D Openweight Title challenge of his career. MAO is certain he still has that crazy side of himself, it’s just that he has matured a little bit so he can be ready to become DDT’s champion.

There is a shadow following Hideki Okatani’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion that he needs to vanquish next. He needs to defend the belt against Shunma Katsumata! They have fought over the title two times before with Katsumata winning both times as champion. The first match in 2023 was an important stepstone for Okatani because it was his entry into hardcore wrestling. That match was also where Katsumata injured his leg and had to vacate the title afterwards. When he returned and won it back in 2024, Okatani was one of Katsumata’s first defences during that title reign.

A partnership forged in fire has made Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki decide to chase after the KO-D Tag Team Titles together. They previously fought Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA for No. 1 Contendership over the titles back in March. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC won that match and went on to become the champions so there is plenty of setup for the rematch.

DDT are giving Hinata Kasai a tough challenge if he wants to get his first win while teaming with his dad Jun Kasai. They will take on Jun Akiyama and his DDT protege Rukiya.

Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi are joining forces after years of being enemies inside the ring, outside the ring, at an empty Tokyo Dome and even on a bullet train. The strength of their alliance will depend on how annoying Kazuki Hirata & To-y will be in front of them.

Speaking of bullet trains, Raku now holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the champion will get a bullet train pass for one year to use whenever DDT books them for shows held outside of Tokyo. I’m not sure if that also applies to Tokyo Joshi Pro if Raku gets the prize.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 3】”, 13/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Special Dark Match: Ilusion Vs Yoshihiko
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs To-y
2. Enter Sandman Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The final set of Beer Garden shows to be held in Shinjuku FACE will happen in August and the usual match gimmicks will be held there. Miyawaki gets to join in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match for the first time. Ilusion and Yoshihiko are also having a pre-show rematch of their Korakuen Hall dark match from April. Last but not least, Kumadori will be on the show.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki
2. Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y

It’s up to Daisuke Sasaki to deal with the fake forms of himself that have been showing up recently. Keisuke Ishii gets to host his Lariat Pro Wrestling match in Shinjuku FACE for one last time.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii, SUSHI & Sentaro Motojima Vs Shinichiro Tominaga, Guts Ishijima & Shota Kawakami
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Rydeen Hagane
3. Yumehito Imanari Vs Hyo Ogawa
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Masashi Takeda & Akira Shoji Vs Chris Brookes, Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

The Toyama Army that Ken Ohka’s been gathering together has a new member. Masashi Takeda is not from Toyama but apparantly his dad is and he’s visited the area enough times in his life to qualify for membership. There is no disputing that Akira Shoji is part of the team.

Moeka Haruhi and Rydeen Hagane were not on the same page during their tag match over the weekend. They blamed each other for losing that match so the obvious direction to go is have them wrestle each other to settle their differences.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki

It’s been over a year since Kota Sekifuda left Big Japan to go freelance. The first anniversary of his debut in Baka Gaijin + Friends is happening in August too so his present is a match against Minoru Suzuki.

The live music lineup for “FUCKED UP FEST 2026” includes a lot of bands with wrestlers in it. They are Dos Quatro (MAO), Daisetz (Antonio Honda), NωA Jr. (Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni), Channel D (Daisuke Sasaki) and Super P And The Space Bandits (Filipino wrestler Super P). So those might be the clues as to who else will be wrestling on the show.


GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026” Results

July 25, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon defeated Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motojima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear (10:40).
2. YuuRI defeated Echika Miyabi with a Camel Clutch Sleeper Hold (11:13).
3. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura by Referee Stoppage after a Knee Strike (11:31).
4. Takuya Wada defeated Yuya Susumu by Referee Stoppage with a Triangle Choke (12:20).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI when Irie pinned Kawakami with a Lariat (19:24).

The Team Dream Futures reunion was a successful one after they defeated Mizuki Watase’s side. Shigehiro Irie doesn’t want to spend much time in the past however. He hears from fans so often that they used to watch him a lot or they used to like him. Irie wants to show everyone that right now he is alive and well in the wrestling world. He will prove it by winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Watase at Korakuen Hall on 15th August. Watase then brought up all the times he travelled with Irie around the world from America to Germany. He believes Irie is still the best wrestler he knows which is why he wants to defend the title against him. He does not want to hear any talk about injuries or surgeries from either side from now until the match has ended. Instead he told Irie they should show everyone the best 15th August ever!

Both preview matches for the 15th August Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles bout ended in Referee Stoppages. Tyson Maeguchi knocked out Shuichiro Katsumura after catching him with a Knee Strike while Takuya Wada held Yuya Susumu in a Triangle Choke until the referee had to step in. Katsumura has no memory of how his match ended but he thinks he won while Susumu claims he had Wada pinned in a Cradle for the three count before he passed out in the Triangle Choke. The Deadlock couldn’t help but laugh when they heard that both of their opponents thought they had won. They think next time they should beat them in a way that they will still remember afterwards.

The finish to the opening match happened after Rydeen Hagane accidentally hit Moeka Haruhi with a Lariat, leading to Ken Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear afterward. When Haruhi recovered she got into a fight with Hagane after the match and the two blamed each other for losing. Ohka broke things up and decided a match between Haruhi and Hagane will happen at the 15th August Korakuen show.

At the end of the show Ohka revealed his partners for the 6-Man Tag Match on 15th August. His first partner is going to be Akira Shoji but before he could announce his second, Shinichiro Tominaga walked in and complained about not being chosen. He asked why and Ohka said it is because the other partner will be Masashi Takeda! According to Ohka, Masada is allowed to join the Toyama Army because his father is from Toyama and he also spent many summer vacations in the area when he was a student. SUSHI then appeared asking to be booked for the show but Ohka rejected him. Luckily for SUSHI, he later got the booking anyway and he will be part of the undercard at Korakuen.
