3a. Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Fisherman Buster (5:34).
4. Ken Ohka defeated Bad Tension TAMAGAWA with the Spear Of Fire (15:00).

Ken Ohka and Bad Tension TAMAGAWA got all of the ill will out of their systems in today’s main event. The match took place to motivate TAMAGAWA and stop him from cheating. However, at one point he got desperate and took out brass knuckles. Ohka was able to convince TAMAGAWA not to use them and the match continued. The two were reduced to tears as they traded blows back and forth until Ohka won with the Spear Of Fire.

Ken Ohka Vs Osamu Namiguchi will take place at Ganbare☆Pro 5 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring on 26th December. Ohka has called the match Armageddon Final Battle!

Osamu Namiguchi came out on top in the Handicap Match by submitting Gorikiko. Yumehito Imanari said he wasn’t finished fighting and demanded a one on one match with Namiguchi immediately. Namiguchi won that match too.

Survival Tobita was demolished by the wild creature known as J-Soul Pandita III. Ohka came to Tobita’s aid wondering how this could have happened. Tobita said Pandita is too strong and he himself may have to retire as a fraud. Ohka told Tobita there is only one way he can defeat the monster. Turn into a cyborg!

Ganbare☆Pro scored a major victory over its invading enemy in the biggest show of its short existence. Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Tomohiro Otani defeated the team of Osamu Namiguchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in the main event. Otani was added to the team when he successfully passed Ohka’s Spear of Flame training, which consisted of being struck once in the abdomen with a flaming torch without being knocked off your feet. The training probably wasn’t the best idea because Otani was taken away by a stretcher and had to wrestle the match with his abdomen covered in medical tape. Yumehito Imanari was the hero of the day. He was the last man standing, eliminating Osamu Namiguchi to win the match for Ganpuro. After the match Imanari told Namiguchi he is not afraid to face him in a singles match. Ken Ohka also announced he will face Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in Shibuya on 30th October. Ohka wants to rehabilitate the man who betrayed him and he wants no interference involved.

J-Soul Pandita III is a large, uncontrollable ape-like creature. Its match with Ultraman Robin was called off when Pandita attacked the referee until Survival Tobita came to the rescue. Ohka decided that Tobita and Pandita will have a match on 30/10.

Gorikiko and Hanako Nakamori both wrestled while wearing Uniqlo branded clothing.

The Public Offer match was answered by three different groups. Ice Ribbon, wrestler Kim Yocchan and micro indy group RAW all answered the call. Ganpuro’s solution was to hold all three matches in the ring at the same time.

7. Osamu Namiguchi & Bad Tension TAMAGAWA defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when TAMAGAWA pinned Shota with the BT Bomber (11:52).

Today’s Ganbare☆Pro show revolved around the G3 Climax, a one day round robin tournament. It was originally supposed to be a 3 person competition between Tomohiro Otani, Shota and Gorikiko. Instead it became a 4 person tournament with Yumehito Imanari filling the extra spot. Shota won all three of his matches and was crowned the G3 Climax winner.

The celebration ceremony with him and Ken Ohka was interrupted by Osamu Namiguchi and the newly renamed Bad Tension TAMAGAWA, who challenged them to an impromptu tag match. TAMAGAWA’s new mean streak proved too much for a tired Shota and the invaders scored another victory over Ganpuro. TAMAGAWA talked down the G3 Climax tournament and told the Ganbare wrestlers they are all losers. If they wanted to be winners, they should join him and Namiguchi. When they left Ohka gave his motivation speech and brought out Shota’s prize for winning the G3, a Tokyo Sports Award trophy Ohka received back in 2006.

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.

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.

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.

The first Ganbare☆Pro event went ahead today with 73 fans packed inside a tiny room at the Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic to watch the beginning of Ken Ohka’s new promotion. Ohka, who was dressed a lot like cult death match wrestler Shoji Nakamaki took on foreign Jushin Liger fan Brian Cannon in the main event. Cannon used a lot of Liger’s signature moves but Ohka fired up and fought back. The match fell apart with both Yumehito Imanari and Osamu Namiguchi running in to start a brawl. A tag team match was made immediately with Ohka & Imanari pairing up against Cannon & Namiguchi. Cannon quickly pinned Imanari with the Liger Bomb.

Co-founder Wonder Man was forced to apologise to Ganbare Tamagawa for failing to find him an opponent for the event. Tamagawa was not happy and demanded a match, forcing Wonder Man to ask the audience if anyone knew how to wrestle. Luckily for him, Nana Kawasa from JWP was there and she accepted Tamagawa’s challenge. The rookie joshi surprised Tamagawa with a pin out of nowhere to win.

When the event was over, Ohka wasn’t sure whether or not the event was a success and if he should continue. He held a poll with the audience asking if Ganbare☆Pro should hold another show. The result was an overwhelming yes with 69 votes. Ohka announced the next show will be held on 17th April and he pleaded with everyone to buy three tickets each.

Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic

1. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
2. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Behold… another Goddamn DDT spin off! Ganbare☆Wrestling is the creation of Ken Ohka, the eternal Union young lion. After forcing himself out of his longtime home for suffering defeat in a Loser Leaves Town match, Ohka eventually found money to start his own wrestling company. He promoted Ganbare’s debut pre-event at the Shin-Kiba 1st RING parking lot today but was interrupted by Brian Cannon, formerly known as Dingo from Osaka Pro. Cannon confronted Ohka and told him he disgraced his hero Jushin Liger at Korakuen Hall years ago (they had a match once, it’s wasn’t great). Cannon took out a mannequin head wearing a Liger mask and attacked a photographer with it before getting into a scuffle with Ohka. Cannon demanded a match for the Ganbare show and told Ohka he wouldn’t get away with disgracing his hero.

Another match signed is part time wrestler and Golden Rendezvouz manager Yumehito Imanari versus Osamu Namiguchi, a failed trainee from Zero1.

Ohka has also gotten Batten Tamagawa involved with Ganpuro. Tamagawa will use the name Ganbare Tamagawa whenever he wrestles for Ohka’s brand.
