GANBARE☆PRO “YUMEHITO IMANARI PRODUCE ~GANBARE PRIME 2021~”, 10/01/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

I should have expected Yumehito Imanari to bring back Pocchari Joshi for his produce show. Yuna Manase takes on Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon. At least for now she is with Ice Ribbon. Not a lot of good news coming out of that place lately.

Hajime was once known as Hajime Nomura from WRESTLE-1. He switched over to an undead facepaint look right around the time W1 collapsed last year. He has since haunted the indie scene and will make his first appearance in Ganpro.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

5. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Semi Final: SAGAT defeated FUMA with the Goregrind (18:57).

Minoru Fujita Vs SAGAT in the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ final will be held on 7th July. The two had a staredown after the main event and Fujita left without saying anything. SAGAT spoke to the fans about his history with FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yusuke Kubo and Daichi Kazato going all the way back to their Union Pro days. Now that he is guaranteed to end the tournament no worse than in second place, the only thing he wants to do is win and be on top! Doing so will be the best way for him to repay Ryota Nakatsu after being invited to join Sparky.

Takato Nakano and Kosuke Sato kept grabbing each other by the hair after their tag match.

Fans were allowed throw paper streamers into the ring for the first time in a year and three months.
