Return To Twin Box, Brookes Produce Show 2, Amateur Vs Outsider

January 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW PPV SHOW 2 ~STARTING POINT~”, 30/01/2021
Twin Box AKIHABARA

1. The HERO Has Come To Protect The Peace Of Akihabara!: Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao Vs Sena Shiori & Arisu Endo
2. Yamato Nadeshiko Challenges The Charisma Of A New Era!: Maki Itoh Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Majirabi Warning For Live Music Venues!: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
4. Paripi Vs Gal Single Match: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Bakuretsu Neko-chan Vs Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling): Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku
6. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi

Miyu Yamashita visited Twin Box AKIHABARA during the week to rediscover her memories of the venue when Tokyo Joshi Pro held their first shows their eight years ago. Back then TJPW only consisted of three girls including Yamashita training to be pro wrestlers. This Saturday’s PPV will have 22 women involved. That is a roster over seven times bigger having a show in the same venue! Yamashita thinks it will be good for the rookies like Moka Miyamoto and Sena Shiori to experience mat wrestling. She hopes everyone will feel the history of TJPW in the building as the show goes on.

Yamashita admits she doesn’t remember much about the first show and her memories of those days might be mixed up with the shows that were held in Shibuya DESEO. She didn’t feel uncomfortable wrestling on a padded mat because her training was done on mats too. It only made her excited to wrestling inside a ring as soon as possible. She is more experienced now in fighting outside the ring so she is excited to see what she can do at the PPV this Saturday. The only worry she has is if Yuka Sakazaki does a high flying move from a strange place and accidentally breaks some equipment.

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM”, 07/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
2. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Baliyan Akki
3. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao

Last year Chris Brookes booked his own little DDT show for a worldwide audience. That went down a treat so he’s doing it again this year! Brookes and his opponent back then Yamashita are this time joining forces to fight Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata from the DDT Sauna Club. A returning Baliyan Akki is coming over from Gatoh Move to challenge Konosuke Takeshita in a first time singles match. Then it’s the blockbuster battle of the summer. Hyper Misao takes on the greatest threat to peace and love yet. It’s the return of the Mecha Mummy! A special talk show with some of the participants will be held after the show so Mr. HAKU will have a busy day ahead of him.

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021”, 07/02/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE
2. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers Full-Scale Battle: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
3. The Strongest Amateur Vs The Strongest Outside Enemy: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Is there anyone from Ganbare☆Pro who can beat Ikuto Hidaka? Maybe it will take a wrestler who isn’t signed to Ganpro to do that. Nobody is prouder of their student wrestling roots than Shinichiro Tominaga. Still, Hidaka is getting used to fighting the Ganpro spirit and senses it coming from his upcoming opponent.

The Aka Rangers of Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO were one of the early tag teams of note in DDT. When Ken Ohka was nothing more than a rookie, he got to second the team to ringside and always wanted to wrestle them. Sadly the opportunity never came. Almost 20 years later Ohka finally gets to achieve his dream and he is bringing in a white hot Shota along for the ride.

Ohka wanted to give a present to celebrate Keisuke Ishii’s birthday the day before the show as well as Kouki Iwasaki’s recent marriage. He offered them a GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match against THE HALFEE but they needed a third partner. HARUKAZE also has a birthday that week so she was chosen to complete the team.

BASARA “BASARA 150 ~KINKON ICHIBAN~”, 25/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The double champion Takumi Tsukamoto is trying to rest whenever he can but the title defences are coming quick and fast. Just under a week after his next BJW Death Match Title defence, Tsukamoto will put the Union MAX Title on the line against an impatient Yasu Urano. The challenger has been acting greedy on the indies lately with demands for instant title matches as well as forcing wagers onto his opponents to make his matches more worthwhile. Tsukamoto accepted his challenge but wanted it for a big show like BASARA’s 150th chapter at Shinjuku FACE.

GANBARE☆PRO “LAST ACTION HERO 2021” Results

January 24, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “LAST ACTION HERO 2021”, 24/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
95 Fans

1. Special Tag Match ~Ganpro Alumni Association~: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated GENTARO & Chikara when Ohka pinned Chikara with the Fire Spear (9:27).
2. Ganpro 6 Men & Women Winter Story: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ayumi Hayashi, HARUKAZE & Hagane Shinno when Haruhi submitted HARUKAZE with the 79.5MHz (12:01).
3. Shu Sakurai Trial Tag Match: Kouki Iwasaki & Daisuke Kanehira defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shu Sakurai when Iwasaki submitted Sakurai with a Texas Clover Hold (12:30).
4. Age Is Just A Number! 44 Year Old Vs 48 Year Old Full Scale Battle!: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (17:09).
5. Cabellera Contra No Apesta: Shota defeated Yasu Urano with a Frog Splash (20:41).

In a match where only Shota had something to lose, he had to fight as if he was defending the championship he no longer has. Yasu Urano brought electric clippers with him to the ring and even shaved off a piece of Shota’s hair during the match. Urano tried to win by countout by leaving him for dead outside the ring but broke the count to attack him more. Urano even attacked Keigo Nakamura who was only doing his ringside duties. This led to Ken Ohka getting involved in the match but Urano hit him too then used Daisuke Kiso as a human shield to deflect Shota. Shota eventually got his own back by hitting a Topé Suicida. He missed a Frog Splash and Urano did his own. Shota avoided being pinned and used a Gannosuke Clutch to take back momentum. Shota was able to hit the Frog Splash a second time to get the three count.

Urano approached Shota to shake his hand after the match but he then tried to steal the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt. Urano tried to start fights with Shota, Moeka Haruhi and Yumehito Imanari before finally leaving. Shota said the indie world cannot take their eyes off his every move. His self-esteem feels a little wounded but his hair will grow back, he still has a championship and he found a new goal to accomplish. He is going to become the main character of independent wrestling in time for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall on 7th April!

Ohka suggested that Keisuke Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki should challenged for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 7th February. Ishii is celebrating his birthday they day before and Iwasaki recently got married so that is a way for them to celebrate it. They need a third partner though. HARUKAZE said she will join their team because her birthday is the day before Ishii’s. She also has a lot of experience wrestling against THE HALFEE so she wants to finally beat them.

Ikuto Hidaka’s winning streak in Ganpro went up a notch with a win over Shuichiro Katsumura. His matches are getting more difficult because this time he needed to use the Japanese Ocean Cyclone to win. He used the move knowing that Katsumura never anticipated it. Shinichiro Tomainaga introduced himself to Hidaka afterwards, calling him an amateur pro wrestler from CWP (Come On Wrestling Party). He does not represent Ganpro, he is not even on the show poster. But he is still upset to see his friends lose so he challenged Hidaka to a match. Hidaka accepted and told Tominaga they will both fight with pride. Even though Tominaga is not officially with Ganpro, Hidaka senses he has the soul of Ganpro within him.

Ohka told GENTARO that the next Ganpro show on 7th February is a Kitazawa Town Hall. They’ve known each other for 25 years and Ohka wanted to know what GENTARO thinks of when he hears that venue? GENTARO says it reminds him of DDT. Ohka agrees because that was where he was a ringside attendant for GENTARO & Takashi Sasaki when they were the Aka Rangers. He was never able to wrestle the Aka Rangers back then which is why he wants to wrestle them now! Ohka will find a tag partner to take on GENTARO & Sasaki on 7th February.

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021” Results

January 17, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021”, 17/01/2021
Osaka Hirano Kumin Hall
112 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Woman In Osaka Castle ~Ganjo Special Tag Match~: SAKI & Haruka Aikawa defeated HARUKAZE & Momoka Hanazono when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with a Brainbuster (14:35).
2. Ganpro East-West Battle 2021!: Tsuyoshi Okada & Kota Umeda defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Iwasaki Umeda pinned Tominaga with the Umeda Driver (9:24).
3. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Ganpro Osaka Winter Team! THE HALFEE Vs Pocchari Joshi East-West Allied Forces Full Scale Battle!: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa defeated Kuuga, Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase when Shunosuke submitted Manase with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (9:37).
*V2 for THE HALFEE.
4. Battle Without Honor ~Father Of 2 Children At Home Vs Father Of 2 Children With Child Support~: Ken Ohka defeated Shoichi Uchida with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (14:15).
5. Ganpro Sanada Maru! Team Drift Vs Team MAKAI Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota & Asuka when Ishii pinned Shota with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:07).

For the first time in a year Ganbare☆Pro was back in Osaka. Shota was in a hard fought match today teaming with Asuka against Team Drift. Asuka was taken out by Shigehiro Irie’s Beast Bomber, leaving Shota to fight Keisuke Ishii. Shota countered the High Angle Double Arm DDT into the Gannosuke Clutch but only got a nearfall out of it. Ishii cut off Shota with a Running Knee and pinned him with the Double Arm DDT. Ishii said he didn’t want to be left behind because the other three wrestlers have a lot of momentum behind them. For him it was a stubborn match and a stubborn victory. Shota is finding himself in a rut since losing the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title during the week. He hasn’t won a match since then and now he has to figure out what to do against Yasu Urano now that there is no championship at stake.

The battle of the dads began with Shoichi Uchida trying to start a “Child Support” chant. He doesn’t have a good history with marriage (twice divorced and four kids in total) which makes him mad when he sees other wrestlers with happy families, like Ken Ohka. The two of them argued over their opinions about marriage as the match turned more into a No DQ brawl with chairs involved. Uchida was motivated enough to kick out of the Fire Spear at one but Ohka finished him off with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka shouted at Uchida “Why didn’t you show that passion when you were married?” while he pinned him.

Yuna Manase wanted the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles put on the line at the last minute. THE HALFEE turned her down until Yumehito Imanari handed out pWo (Pocchari World Order) shirts to his tag partners to show they are a unit. Kuuga was given an S sized shirt which he hated so he walked off. He came back when Manase took out an XL shirt for him. THE HALFEE agreed to defend the titles and came out on top. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the teamwork they’ve been doing for over a year wasn’t going to lost against a brand new team. Shu Sakurai wants to defend the trios title all the time in 2021 and end the year with THE HALFEE appearing in the Red And White Song Battle on New Year’s Eve. Moehiko Harumisawa is annoyed that she didn’t maintain their instruments properly. Imanari still thinks forming the pWo with Manase is a good idea.

January 10, 2021

2. Ganpro Vs Chiba Full Scale Competition: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Yasu Urano, Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuma 24 when Katsumura submitted Yuma with the Katsumura Special (10:57).

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Street Fight Style Special Hardcore Match: Shota (c) defeated Miss Mongol with the Gannosuke Clutch (15:29).
*V1 for Shota.
-. Urgent Decision Match – Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shota (c) Vs Yasu Urano ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
*V2 for Shota

Shota went through hell today and got not one, but two Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defences out of it. In the planned main event, Shota defeated Miss Mongol by the skin of his teeth in a Street Fight. Mongol attacked Shota with a barbed wire bat, chairs and a barbed wire board. She gave him a Piledriver through a table and also Power Bombed him onto some chairs. Shota escaped with a win when he countered the Thunder Fire Power Bomb into the Gannosuke Clutch. He said he was proud an an indy wrestler to have an FMW style match against Mongol. He isn’t from the generation that experienced FMW in real time but he understands they are the reason there are many indy groups around now. He also said pro wrestling is no longer divided by age and genders. Mongol said twenty years ago she never thought she could get a shot at the title because it was a championship only for men. She thanked Shota for letting her challenge for it today. Shota encouraged her to continue wrestling especially when her child is at an age where they are starting to understand what she is doing.

When Mongol left the ring, Shota was interrupted by Yasu Urano. They started arguing until Shota over tweets they made about each other during the day. Shota challenged Urano to a match on 24th January with the title on the line. Urano didn’t want to wait that long so Shota decided they would have the match right now! Daisuke Kiso warned the both of them that there was not enough time left in the show to allow a 20 minute time limit. They all agreed to a 10 minute limit and begun the impromptu title match. Urano did the SAYONARA Tombstone but the Frog Splash he did afterwards was blocked with Shota’s knees. Shota put Urano in the Gannosuke Clutch but the bell rang and the match was ruled a draw. Urano blamed the result on being tired because he wrestled two matches today. Shota said it was his second match too. They agreed to a proper title rematch on 24th January. However, Shota also has a title defence at JUST TAP OUT on 15th January. If he loses the title on that show then the match against Urano will have nothing on the line. Urano wants to fight for something so if the belt is out of the picture by then, he is demanding Shota to put his hair on the line!

Ikuto Hidaka continues to mow through the Ganbare☆Pro roster with a victory over Keisuke Ishii. Now he has gotten the attention of Shuichiro Katsumura. He’s not concerned over ages, he just wants to fight strong guys. He promises to beat Hidaka on behalf of Ganpro! Hidaka accepted. His driving force right now is being undefeated in Ganpro. He feels he can’t afford to lose to them at this point.

There was suspicion surrounding HARUKAZE all day. At the start of the show she took out 50,000 yen and told everyone she would give it to a referee as both a New Year’s gift and a bribe. When her match with Asuka began, she started acting weird towards the Daisuke Kiso. When she threw the referee at her opponent, HARUKAZE called for help and her plan was revealed. Yumehito Imanari ran out wearing a referee shirt and took over officiating the match, blatantly helping HARUKAZE. Asuka had to fight against a two on one disadvantage but pulled through with it, kind of by accident. She missed a Spin Kick aimed for HARUKAZE but still caught Imanari with it. That allowed her to give both of them a Double Choke Slam and Kiso recovered to count the pin. Asuka then took her frustration out on Imanari after the match by stomping on his balls.

Ken Ohka gave a speech to start the show. He calls the current situation in Tokyo difficult but you never know what the future holds. That’s why he thinks it is important for everyone to appreciate every moment they have as hard as they can. He doesn’t know if this is the last he is going to say this but the Ganpro wrestlers will fight hard so please give them all of your support this year.

GANBARE☆PRO “THE WORLD 2020” Results

December 26, 2020

GANBARE☆PRO “THE WORLD 2020”, 26/12/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Special Single Match ~Wrestle And Bromance~: Yumehito Imanari defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with a Body Strangle Otoshikatame (8:40).
2. Yuna Manase & Rina Amikura defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:55).
3. Pinch Hitter Nakamura, A Fateful Mischief Reunites!: Kouki Iwasaki & Kota Umeda defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Keigo Nakamura when Umeda pinned Nakamura with the Umeda Driver (13:31).
4. A Special Tag Match To Verify Whether “Age Is Just A Number”: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Ikuto Hidaka & Ken Ohka when Ishii pinned Ohka with the Kneel Kick (12:30).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shota defeated Asuka (c) with the Gannosuke Clutch (17:04).
*Asuka fails in V3. Shota becomes the 32nd Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

2020 for Ganbare☆Pro ends with a new Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion! The upset title change saw Shota catch Asuka with the Gannosuke Clutch. He admitted that Asuka would be beat him nine times out of ten but today is the one time he got the better of her. His brain was still shook so he didn’t know what else to tell Asuka other than he loves her. Asuka left him alone in the ring.

Shota said at the start of the show his goal for 2021 is to become a leader of the independent scene. Well he has the chance to do that because there are already challengers lining up. First, Arata from JUST TAP OUT came out and asked Shota to defend the title on JTO’s 15th January Korakuen Hall show. He brought up the title’s history with TAKA Michinoku as a reason to do this. Shota said he watches JTO on NicoPro and knows they use a ranking system. Arata is currently ranked #5 while TAKA is #1. Shota said if Arata can beat TAKA then he will deserve a title shot. Maybe Shota will go wrestle a singles match in JTO anyway and when he wins he will nominate TAKA himself!

When Shin was finished, Shota was then confronted by Miss Mongol. She joked about never being booked by Ganbare☆Pro after she lost the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in September. She’s seeing everyone else doing their best so she is going to be bold and demand a shot at the title that came from her original promotion FMW! Shota accepted the challenge and wanted the match to happen on 24th January. Mongol convinced him to do the match on 10th January instead. Also since this is an FMW championship, the match should be a Street Fight Hardcore Match! Imanari agreed and promised Shin he will make it to the JTO show as the champion.

The pair of Ikuto Hidaka & Ken Ohka have a message to spread across the world. Age is just a number! That message was put on blast by Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Their teamwork left Hidaka & Ohka battered and beaten in the end. Ishii likes both of them and is also a fan of numbers. He asked Hidaka to prove his claim about age by facing him one on one. Hidaka said he couldn’t prove it today because his team lost. But he has no reason to decline Ishii’s challenge and will enjoy taking on Ishii’s original pro wrestling style.

Shuichiro Katsumura and Kouki Iwasaki got into a brief scuffle after their match. When they were pulled apart, Iwasaki got to talk about yesterday’s engagement news to the fans. He thanked them for their support and will do his best with pride as a pro wrestler.

Yumehito Imanari was proudly showing off his newly won NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Title belt during the show. He and Shinjiro Otani became the new champions in ZERO1 by winning the Furinkazan Tag Tournament on Christmas Day.

Ganpro’s next Korakuen Hall show will take place on 7th April, 2021.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Washi Sakurai Trial Single Match: Yuma 24 defeated Washi Sakurai with the Takizawa Package (10:03).
2. Ganpro Send-Off Match – Yuna Manase Road To Tag Champion: Ken Ohka & Yuna Mizumori defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuna Manase when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Flame Spear (7:32).
3. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari when Shota pinned Imanari with the Gannosuke Clutch (14:32).

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka (c) defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Modified Capture Buster (16:15).
*V2 for Asuka.

Asuka praised Moeka Haruhi for giving her a tough challenge today. She wants the two of them to get along within Ganbare☆Pro and create exciting matches together. Haruhi shook her hand and said it doesn’t matter that they’re both freelancers. All the women here are Ganbare☆Joshi! Asuka agreed and told the audience there is one Ganpro show left on the schedule this year. However she will continue to be on Ganpro shows throughout 2021 to increase the value of the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title.

Backstage after the show, Shota approached Asuka and congratulated her for a good match. He said he was supposed to visit Mexico for an expedition this year but he had to cancel those plans. The only other goal he made for 2020 was become the Independent Jr. Champion. Since there is only one Ganpro show left in 2020 he wants a title shot on 26th December. Asuka wasn’t interested. Shota then said who knows what will happen to the world after December? Fortunes could change for anybody. Also Shota whispered to Asuka that she has beaten him before so it would be an easy defence. Asuka changed her mind and accepted the challenge.

Ikuto Hidaka is still undefeated in Ganpro after his win over Kouki Iwasaki. The High Kick combo that ended with the Stray Dog High Kick was too much for Iwasaki to handle.

Shota showed off his KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt to the crowd after his match. He pinned Yumehito Imanari with the Gannosuke Clutch after a missed Clothesline from Shuichiro Katsumura hit Imanari by mistake. Shota talked about winning the championship with a team of wrestlers all representing Young Communication. Another wrestler from that generation is his tag partner for today Keisuke Ishii. He told Ishii that Young Communication will be holding a special reunion show on 16th January and it would not be possible to do it without Ishii being there. Ishii told him he is free that day so he will be there.

Ken Ohka gave words of encouragement to Yuna Manase and Yuna Mizumori after their match. He didn’t know the match was a send-off for them but could see the passion they displayed. He said Ganpro has climbed up out of the basement floor and now feels like a hot spring. He told W☆YUNA to go carry the soul of Ganpro when they enter tomorrow’s tag tournament in Actwres girl’Z. If W☆YUNA become champions then Ohka and Shinichiro Tominaga will have a match against them when they come back! Manase thanked Ohka for the speech but would have preferred if she got the pin in her own send-off match. The point was for her to win and get momentum! Still, she will be sure to win the tournament with Mizumori.

In a last minute change, Yasu Urano was unable to compete due to poor physical condition. Taking his place was Yuma 24, previously just known as Yuma from K-DOJO. He wore a flashy jacket during his entrance and was accompanied to the ring by Shota. He seemed to care more about showing off than trying to win which meant Washi Sakurai had a more even fight than expected. At one point Yuma did the People’s Elbow with some robot dancing mixed in. Sakurai tried fighting back but Yuma got him pinned with the Takizawa Package to win.

HARUKAZE greeted the fans before the show. She wanted to do a magic trick to make up for not being able to wrestle today but gave up because the trick was too small for the entire audience to see. She then announced the show was starting but was told by the other wrestlers she was too early.

5. Engraved In The Man You Admire, The Fight Of Ganpro! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Ken Ohka with the Stray Dog High Kick (13:14).
6. A Burning Bond Or A Bond Thicker Than Blood!: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shinjiro Otani & Yumehito Imanari when Ishii pinned Imanari with the Kneel Kick (27:31).

At the beginning of the show, Ken Ohka told the audience that when he was growing up in the countryside, he could only go see live pro wrestling once a year. He couldn’t wait for pro wrestling to come to his town because of this. For Ganbare☆Pro the promotion had to wait TWO years before they ran Korakuen Hall again. Today’s big show in the venue is not the destination for Ganpro, it is only the beginning. The aftermath will create momentum needed for Ganpro to run Korakuen again next year and the year after that.

In the main event Yumehito Imanari teamed with Shinjiro Otani. This was a partnership born from Imanari wrestling in ZERO1 over the last few months. This bond was on show when Otani and Imanari entered together with Imanari wearing a jacket Otani had made for him. Otani had faith in Imanari’s efforts against Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie, going so far that he wouldn’t tag in when he felt Imanari could still fight. When Otani did get involved, he was prepared for Irie in particular. Both agreed it’s been a long time since they last fought and then they went straight into Elbow Smashing each other. When Otani did his trademark Facewash on Ishii, Imanari grabbed Irie on the floor and held him in place for Otani to boot instead of Ishii. Imanari used the Death Valley Bomb and the Chubby Knee Kick on Ishii but only got a two count. His momentum was cut off with the Beast Bomber from Irie. Ishii got a nearfall with a Tiger Suplex and was almost pinned himself when Imanari countered a second Tiger Suplex into a Samson Clutch. But the end came when Ishii hit the Kneel Kick and Imanari was pinned. Both team received a year’s supply of Coroblock from the show sponsor.

Irie and Otani faced off after the match. Imanari tried to step in but Irie knocked him down and left the ring with Ishii. Otani gave encouragement to Imanari. No matter how much he struggled today he never gave up and the fans appreciate that. Those in the audience who saw Imanari get back up again and again will be inspired to do their best tomorrow. That is what pro wrestlers are capable of, to send their energy to the fans. Otani is proud of Imanari today and he will learn that the one who keeps losing will eventually win in the end. Imanari thanked Otani for the speech and thanked the fans for coming to see the show while the Coronavirus is around. He will treat wrestling like a marathon and run towards his goal.

Ohka’s attempt to surpass Ikuto Hidaka ended in defeat. It was the High Kicks that brought down Ohka and he fell to one too many. Hidaka asked the fans if the Ohka they saw today is the one they want to see? They all applauded positively. Ohka is 43 and Hidaka is 48 but age is just a number. Ohka said he will never quit even if he is 60 or 70 years old. He won’t leave the ring until he defeats Hidaka! When Ohka left, Hidaka admitted he liked what he heard so he will continue to fight in Ganpro! Next time he promises to get Ohka in the Shawn Capture.

THE HALFEE achieved their goal of defending the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in Korakuen Hall. It was a close call and they got over it thanks to a missed Moonsault from Shinichiro Tominaga. While he scrambled to recover, Katsuzaki Shunosuke hit him with a Jumping High Kick and Moehiko Harumisawa rolled him over with the Chaka Chaka (Bridging Backslide Pin) to get the three count. Harumisawa was so pleased to win against a team of wrestlers associated with the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title that she now wants to challenge for that championship. She asked Asuka for a title shot at the next Ganpro show. Asuka said Tominaga lost today’s match, not her. However she accepts the challenge from Moeka Haruhi for 23rd Nevember.

It took the Running Three from Takumi Iroha to put Yuna Manase away. There was a show of respect afterwards when Iroha formed the letter S with her hands and Manase did the same in response. Backstage Iroha told Manase to carry Ganpro on her back like she does with Marvelous. That way they can carry each other and improve together.

The team of Chris Brookes & Yuna Mizumori came here today representing ChocoPro and even carried that promotion’s entrance curtain to the ring with them. They went on to beat Shota & HARUKAZE. Brookes set the finish up with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster and Mizumori finished the job with the Mushakaeshi.

Kota Umeda returned and it’s good to see he still has a chip on his shoulder. He slapped away Kouki Iwasaki’s handshake offer after their match. As for Iwasaki, he said his next target is Ikuto Hidaka!

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Moonsault Press (17:03).
*V1 for Asuka.

Asuka gained new found respect for Shinichiro Tominaga after their match. She thought he was just a salaryman with low monthly wages who couldn’t do anything. But today Tominaga showed her the true strength of the salaryman! After they shook hands, Asuka told the fans that she is now a Triple Crown champion because she currently holds the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title, the WWWD World Title from Diana and she also found her KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belt at her home recently. She wants to win more championships so she is now targeting the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles! The new champions THE HALFEE came out and told Asuka she’ll need to find two partners to challenge them. Asuka said Hagane Shinno is on her team. That was news to him. She also picks Tominaga as her other partner and decided the title match will happen at Korakuen Hall on 6th October. Katsuzaki Shunosuke (Shuichiro Katsumura) admitted he wanted to be in a singles match at Korakuen but since the challenge is coming from a champion he will accept it.

Shinno was in the building because Shota wanted him in his corner for his match against Ikuto Hidaka. Hidaka had Minoru Fujita seconding him and the match allowed tags even though it was a singles match. Yasu Urano was also in Hidaka’s corner but he played no part in the match. To make things even more confusing, Hidaka and Fujita had trouble getting along so Hidaka had to wrestle the match 1 against 2 at points. He was still able to win and everyone got along in the end.

Hidaka was challenged by Ken Ohka to a match at Korakuen. He has a great admiration for Hidaka going back to watching his matches in Battlarts. Hidaka was flattered but not feeling the idea. When he had his first match in Ganbare☆Pro last month he told everyone his age is just a number and he pushed himself to be the best he could be. Meanwhile Ohka lost to Tominaga at the same show. Isn’t Ganpro supposed to be Ohka’s promotion? It doesn’t feel like it. The two argued until Fujita came out. He understands the feelings both wrestlers have which to him means it makes sense for them to fight. He made the decision that Ohka Vs Hidaka will happen at Korakuen.

THE HALFEE defeated Ganpocha-gun to become the new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions. When they celebrated, Shunosuke said there are four members of THE HALFEE and he pointed to Shunma Katsumata standing over in the lobby. Moehiko Harumisawa (Moeka Haruhi) said now they got the belts, the next stage is defending them at Korakuen Hall. Washi Sakurai thanked the fans for supporting him.

Yuna Manase is working hard to prepare for her match with Takumi Iroha. Being in the ring against Keisuke Ishii helped her. She claimed to have learned the Lariat from watching Ishii do Lariat Pro matches so she used the move on him. She wants to throw stronger Lariats that she can use against Iroha.
