1. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Union Pro: Daichi Kazato defeated Tomohiro Otani (w/ Shinichiro Tominaga) with a Swinging Complete Shot (4:21).

5. You’ve Got Mail!: Miyako Matsumoto defeated Tigers Mask with Manmamiya Z (14:48).
6. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Union Pro – 6-Man Elimination Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Shota & Osamu Namiguchi defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Mitomi Masayuki (22:18).
6a. Mitomi Masayuki eliminated Shota with the SENNIN-GIRI (6:31).
6b. Osamu Namiguchi eliminated Mitomi Masayuki with the Lana Killer-N (7:20).
6c. Ken Ohka eliminated Shuji Ishikawa and Osamu Namiguchi by Ring Out (14:32).
6d. Ken Ohka eliminated Seiya Morohashi with the Spear Of Flame (22:18).

Ganbare☆Wrestling scored a huge victory over Union proving that they are a company to be taken seriously. Ken Ohka’s plan to bombard Osamu Namiguchi with messages uring him to join his team worked out as his nemesis joined the Ganpuro side in the 6-Man Tag Elimination main event. Ohka wound up as the last man standing, pinning Seiya Morohashi to win the match. Naomi Susan told him afterwards not to get carried away that Ganpuro beat Union once. She challenged Ohka to face Shuji Ishikawa in Union on 18th May to settle the feud.

Ohka announced the creation of the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament to be held on 1st May. He wants Ganpuro to be a major sports league not just for wrestling but for martial arts as well. Richard Burn showed up to apply for the tournament and said he would quit Union to fight here.

The Judo Jacket Match between Cherry and Gorikiko was going to be so violent that Ganpuro did not want to hold it in front of a live audience. When they could not find another building to host the bout it had to go to the TEC Office in Shinjuku for permission. The two women fought around the building and Cherry eventually choked out Gorikiko to win.

Dr. Kiriko defeated Survival Tobita and afterwards tried to murder him with the same injection he used to put down J-Soul Pandita III. However the injection did not work because Tobita is human and thus immune to the poison. Tobita swore he will become a doctor and figure out a way to defeat Kiriko.

Ken Ohka has a plan to strengthen Ganbare☆Wrestling in their war with Union. That plan is to bring in his enemy Osamu Namiguchi! Problem is he doesn’t know where to find him. Ohka has gone as far as to publicly post Namiguchi’s phone and mobile numbers. He demanded his fans to contact Namiguchi and tell him to join Ganpuro’s side. He also requested anyone who knows his whereabouts to email Yumehito Imanari.

Immediately after revealing his email address, Imanari got a message from Tigers Mask asking for a booking. Joshi wrestler Miyako Matsumoto then suddenly appeared next to Imanari also asking to be booked. Believing this to be fate, Ohka made Tigers Mask Vs Miyamo Matsumoto for the show.

Dr. Kiriko is the mysterious person who put J-Soul Pandita III to sleep at “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!” in December. Survival Tobita has sworn revenge because he’s sure as Hell not going to start wrestling normal opponents.

When Ken Ohka told him that one of his opponents is Osochin Aries, Yumehito asked if he meant Austin Aries from TNA.

Gorikiko approached Ohka and Imanari asking to join the war between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Union. Naturally she will be pitted against Cherry. She admits Cherry would beat her in a normal wrestling match so she instead challenges her to a Judo Jacket Match. Gorikiko has trained in Judo so she will have the advantage in this situation.

DDT “KITIZAWA FIGHTING THEATER 2013” Results

December 1, 2013

sasadango-harashima

DDT “KITIZAWA FIGHTING THEATER 2013”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Three Organizations Strongest Young Tournament Final: Kazuki Hashimoto defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the PK (5:54).
1. Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Crippler Crossface (8:10).
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Gota Ihashi with a Crab Hold (6:09).
3. 4 Way Match: Antonio Honda defeated Masa Takanashi, DJ Nira and Super Sasadango Machine when Honda pinned both Nira and Machine with the Diving Fist Drop (11:31).
4. Kenny Omega defeated Makoto Oishi with the Croyt’s Wrath (11:30).
5. Danshoku Dino defeated Guanchulo with the Danshoku Driver (10:34).
6. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Tetusuya Endo when Miyamoto pinned Endo with a Backslide Pin (10:13).
7. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, MIKAMI & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (12:30).

Tensions between HARASHIMA and Yukio Sakaguchi are beginning to grow in the build up to their KO-D Openweight Title match. They had a stand off after their main event that was interrupted by Super Sasadango Machine. He introduced himself to HARASHIMA, who in return asked if he was Muscle Sakai. Flustered by that question, Sasadango went straight to the point and challenged HARASHIMA to a DDT Extreme Title match at Korakuen Hall on 3rd January. HARASHIMA accepted while still referring to Machine as Sakai.

Guanchulo was in a worried state during his match and it wasn’t because his opponent was Danshoku Dino. Gaunchulo will be going back home to Chile soon and he was worried he would no longer be able to watch One Piece. His passion for the show crossed over into the ring as the One Piece theme song played over the audio system when Guanchulo made his comebacks. Guanchulo couldn’t beat Dino but he promised they would watch One Piece together when he returns to Japan.

Daisuke Sasaki had some insulting words for Kazuki Hirata after he made him submit in the opener, calling him a “boring shit”. Takagi stood up for Hirata but admitted he should be doing better because people look forward to seeing DDT wrestlers. So he decided Hirata will go through a 5 match series of challenges that will take place in Korakuen Hall at the end of the year. Amon Tsurumi stepped in to say the card for Korakuen is already full. Takagi assured him that Hirata can do the entire series as a dark match before the show. Hirata said the challenge sounds impossible but it looks like he has no choice but to do it.

Kazuki Hashimoto from Big Japan wins the final entry spot into the Three Organizations Strongest Tournament that will be held on New Year’s Eve.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY” Results

December 1, 2013

tww-debut

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KANNA defeated Ayumi Takada with a Boston Crab (4:39).
2. Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima when Nonoko pinned Nakajima with the Pai Fly Flow (10:00).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Chikage Kiba with the Crash Rabbit Heat (6:54).

It took 18 months since its creation but Tokyo Joshi Pro finally held its official debut show in Kitizawa today as part of a double header with DDT.

The main event pitted the two brightest trainees of the promotion against each other. Miyu Yamashita had beaten Chikage Kiba before and today she made it two for two with her Running Kick finisher, the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita declared herself as the Ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro, at least for the time being. She also called out Nonoko and challenged her to a match. In her post show interview, Yamashita said she hopes people will call her the Ace rather than a self-proclaimed one. She hopes she will get to wrestle in various places and have fun doing so. Kiba really wanted to win but felt gratitude for all the people who was involved with today’s show. She doesn’t know what Tokyo Joshi Pro will turn into but she wants to continue.

The middle match was a chance for the plump Nonoko to show off her, er… talents. Her arsenal consisted of popular moves such as the Rainmaker, the People’s Elbow and a downsized High Fly Flow (which she calls the Pai Fly Flow and claims is an original move) all modified to emphasize her K-Cup bust. It turned out to be just what was needed for her and Yuka Sakazaki to win the match. Sakazaki believed they were able to win because they had bigger busts than their opponents. Shoko Nakajima was psyched to wrestle but for the time being wants to focus on winning her first singles match. She hopes to become a fast wrestler with cool moves. For her partner Ura Erika, it was her first wrestling match in over two years.

KANNA marked off the new beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro by earning her first ever singles victory. Her opponent Ayumi Takada was pretty much dressed like Paige from WWE NXT. When asked what she wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to be, KANNA said it is a good organization with a good atmosphere and she wants it to continue like that. Takada said she was relieved to finally debut and felt amazing after her first match.

Tetsuya Koda announced that Eri Wakamatsu from Ice Ribbon has signed with Tokyo Joshi Pro. She explained that she was starting from scratch and she wasn’t sure if she could still use her Ice Ribbon name. Her debut match and possibly a new name have not been determined yet.

The show was supposed to begin with a performance by DPG, the band featuring Hiroshi Fukuda and Antonio Honda. But before they could begin, they received a message from one of their members saying she was quitting the band. Stephanie Ayumi was no where to be seen in the arena and her bandmates were shocked at the sudden news. Honda appeared dressed as a taoist monk and was able to summon Ayumi into the arena. Ayumi had written a letter to the band and read it out to them. She said she will leave the band after today’s performance to enter pro wrestling but that does not mean she will quit being their friend. The group performed their song “Demon Of The Ring” and everyone wished her luck as Stephanie Ayumi began her second life as Ayumi Takada. Lastly, Fukuda chopped Ayumi across her chest to give her fighting spirit. Ayumi fired back with a High Kick, knocking him down and setting her off on the right path.

7. BJW Tag Team Title: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito when Ishikawa pinned Ito with the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain (19:03).
*V1 for BIG “G” BANG.

BIG “G” BANG defeated two of the mainstays of Big Japan to achieve V1 for the BJW Tag Team Championship. Even without the death match setting, Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito were a dangerous duo to be reckoned with. Yukinori Matsui was taken out of action during the match, allowing the Big Japan team to bring is chairs and use them without any consequences. However, the champions retained when Shuji Ishikawa rolled away from Kobayashi’s Bakachinga Elbow. Ishikawa gave him the Splash Mountain but Kobayashi kicked out at two. Ishikawa then gave him the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain and that was enough to win the match.

After the match, Ishikawa told the fans that he wants to bring the DDT Extreme Title back to Union. Yuko Miyamoto, fresh off of his victory over Cherry earlier in the show, accepted the challenge and set the match for Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 18th July.

Tokyo Joshi Pro held an offer match with NOZOMI making her re-debut for her first bout in around 2 or 3 years. She was pitted against former JWP Junior Champion Kagetsu and had a chance to shake off her ring rust and learn the basics once again. NOZOMI lost to the classic rookie killer move, the Boston Crab. Afterwards she gave a bow to all four sides of the arena.

Before Match #2 began, Mio Shirai and Princess Makoto got into another argument over who is more sexy. They asked the other wrestlers plus Yukinori Matsui to judge who had the better looking chest. Makoto won the vote. In the match itself, Makoto used her charms to distract Ken Ohka and allow Shiryu to roll him over for the pin.

14K comes from the Mobius promotion and has been added to the card thanks to a recommendation by Masao Orihara.
