70 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Ganpro Survival Tag Match – Ohka-gun Vs Ishii-gun: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari, Shota & Yuna Mizumori (3) defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (2) (32:44).
1a. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Imanari knocked Irie out of the ring (13:14).
1b. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Ishii pinned Imanari with the Double Arm Driver (15:13).
1c. Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki ended in a Double Ring Out when Ohka and Ishii were both knocked out of the ring (20:18).
1d. Shota & Yuna Mizumori defeated Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE when Mizumori pinned HARUKAZE with the Supergirl (32:44).
2. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai defeated Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Shunosuke submitted Tominaga with the Ninja Choke (28:26).
*Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga fail in V3. THE HALFEE become the 26th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

THE HALFEE are now two time GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions! For Shu Sakurai this was a very memorable moment for him. His debut match took place inside Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR and he is very happy to win back the title in the same building. Moehiko Harumisawa congratulated him for becoming a stronger wrestler. She said everybody in Ganbare☆Pro has strong character with a determination to survive. Their reward for that is winning the GWC 6-Man Tag Titles again. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the belts originally came from Guts World. On 13th June, THE HALFEE will be wrestling for Guts World’s successor TTT (Total Triumph Team). They announced they will defend the titles against Guts Ishijima and Speed Of Sounds. Shunosuke promised that they will prove the belts belong to THE HALFEE and Ganpro!

The former champions are now trying to figure out what caused them to lose today. Hagane Shinno pointed towards a lack of teamwork between the three of them. He and Asuka both admitted they don’t like Shinichiro Tominaga very much which isn’t a good dynamic for a trio. Shinno then argued that point doesn’t make sense because Asuka & Tominaga are still teaming together for the upcoming Mixed Tag Tournament. Tominaga said that was Daisuke Kiso’s idea so it is all his fault.

Ken Ohka’s squad were victorious over Keisuke Ishii’s team in the Survival Tag Match. The match was 2 Vs 2 for the entire time until one team was whittled down to its final member. It begun with Ohka & Yumehito Imanari against Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Over The Top Rope rules counted towards eliminations and Irie found that out the hard way. He charged towards Imanari, Imanari pulled the top rope down and Irie toppled out of the ring to be removed from the match. Kouki Iwasaki came in and Imanari didn’t last much longer. Ishii took him out with the Double Arm Driver to bring in Shota. Ohka then sacrificed himself to eliminate Ishii via Double Ring Out when he jumped off the apron while carrying Ishii over his shoulders. That brought in Yuna Mizumori (replacing an injured Yuna Manase) and HARUKAZE for the final fall. Mizumori avoided a Cross Armbreaker and pinned HARUKAZE with the Supergirl cradle for the victory. Mizumori wished for Manase to recover soon so they could team up again.

At the end of the show Ohka announced that he too would be at the TTT show. He & Imanari then promoted “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” on 6th June. Ohka said this is the era of Uber Eats and on 6th June you will see Uber Ganbare☆Pro!

April 7, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2021”, 07/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
409 Fans

*V1 for Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga.
4. Ganpro Vs DDT Full Scale Battle: Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno when Ishii pinned Katsumata with the Kneel Kick (11:40).
5. The Young General Of Ganpro: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ikuto Hidaka with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (15:29).
6. Daihyo Vs Daihyo ~ Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Takashi Sasaki defeated Ken Ohka with a Right Knee through lighttubes (18:48).

Way back when Ken Ohka was a high school student, he was part of the school’s baseball team. In his senior year his coach asked him if he knew what to tell the pitcher whenever they were in a pinch. The answer is “Ganbare! (Go for it!)” Those words stayed with Ohka ever since which is how Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling got its name. He was alone when he started Ganpro but gained many friends, enough that today’s show consisted entirely of matches where Ganpro took on other promotions.

The finale highlight this with Ohka taking on the FREEDOMS head honcho Takashi Sasaki in a Lighttube Death Match. Sasaki had Tomoya Hirata & Dragon Libre in his corner. Ohka purposely wore clothing similar to what he wore on the first Ganpro show eight years ago. Glass was smashed as the two fought. Ohka hit the Flame Spear but only got a two count. He went for another one with lighttubes in his arms but Sasaki smashed the glass with a Middle Kick. Ohka kicked out of a Superplex onto a pile of chairs then kicked out again after Sasaki smashed lighttubes into him with a Buzzsaw Kick. Sasaki finally put Ohka away with a Kamigoye style Right Knee through more lighttubes.

After the match Sasaki explained his history with Ohka to the fans in attendance. When Ohka first came to DDT he was a bad trainee who couldn’t do anything. According to Sasaki, he had to teach Ohka how to wrestle from scratch. This year when Ohka challenged him to a match, he was surprised. For years Sasaki thought Ohka saw him as some scary teacher that he didn’t want to remember. Now that they’ve spilled each other’s blood in a death match, it doesn’t matter if they are master and disciple. They should work hard together from now on. Sasaki told Ohka he has so many friends who support him so he should be grateful for them every day and do his best to repay them. And if Ganpro ever has any problems, Ohka is always welcome to ask Sasaki for help. Ohka said he definitely wanted to beat Sasaki today but his life will continue even though he lost. Ohka will turn 43 years old tomorrow and he will have another child later this year. That’s why he can’t stop Ganpro where it is now. He promises to make Ganpro bigger and one day defeat Takashi Sasaki! Ohka and Sasaki celebrated to “Bad Communication” to close out the show.

Kouki Iwasaki has stopped Ikuto Hidaka! It was a fight Iwasaki originally started so it was up to him to stop it in the rematch. The two almost fought to a double knockout but made it back to their feets for a final faceoff. Hidaka hit the Stray Dog High Kick but Iwasaki kept standing to give him a Back Drop. That momentum switch allowed Iwasaki to finally give Hidaka his first loss in Ganpro with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT finishing him off. Iwasaki said he was feeling a bit silly because he took way more kicks to the head in the match than he wanted. He wanted to be nice to Hidaka though so he told him “Age is just a number!” He thanked Hidaka for becoming an important part in his pro wrestling life. Hidaka told Iwasaki he doesn’t trust anyone who acts like a good boy when they win. He won today so he should be proud of himself.

Ganpro got a win over DDT when Keisuke Ishii & Shota beat The 37KAMIINA pair of Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno. Katsumata hid a firecracker and pulled it in Ishii’s mouth but it didn’t do much damage. Ishii blocked the ¡Hasta La Vista! and hit the Tiger Suplex then put him away with the Kneel Kick.

The first GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence for the new champions was a successful one. Their challengers went full steam ahead with the pWo presentation. It all went wrong though when Yumehito Imanari was struck with a Double Super Kick from Asuka & Hagane Shinno. The duo then got rid of Shigehiro Irie with a Double Spin Kick before Yuna Manase wiped them out with a Double Lariat. But with the ring cleared, Shinichiro Tominaga took his chance and pinned Imanari with the Moonsault. Backstage Tominaga said relationships are built over time but he wants his trio to become a happy unit together so they can achieve more defences. Asuka & Shinno are looking forward to that. They were all born and raised differently but they will die together! Meanwhile Irie asked Imanari what would Shinjiro Otani say to them right now? According to Imanari, Otani would say “Even if people call you chubby, love your body and keep passing that energy on to others!” Manase said she wants to win a championship with Imanari & Irie so they promised her they will get another chance some day. “pWo for life!”

Ganbare☆Joshi had a good day at the office with a win over an Actwres girl’Z team. HARUKAZE wrestled in new black and white gear that looks a lot like Tifa’s outfit from Final Fantasy VII. She also got the submission win, making Ayumi Hayashi tap out while Moeka Haruhi kept Miyuki Takase at bay.

The show began with Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano announcing they are hijacking Ganpro on behalf of the Fujita Pro Wrestling School! They proved their bad intentions by attacking THE HALFEE during their musical performance. On thing they didn’t anticipate was THE HALFEE using their numbers advantage because Moeka Haruhi briefly joined in to help her partners out. Shuichiro Katsumura tied up his opponents before tagging in Shu Sakurai to finish the job. It all went pear shaped when Fujita held onto Urano’s leg to stop him from being thrown around. Urano then stole the three count by using a European Side Headlock to roll Sakurai onto his shoulders to be pinned.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021” Results

March 21, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
108 Fans

1. THE HALFEE Vs Team MAKAI: Asuka & Hagane Shinno defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Shu Sakurai when Asuka pinned Sakurai with the ASKA FANTASY (10:35).
2. Spring HARU Vs Manase Wasshoi: Yuna Manase & Ayumi Hayashi defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (7:58).
3. Shota’s Independent Journey Vol. 2: Onryo defeated Shota with the Onryo Clutch (9:50).
4. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano when Iwasaki pinned Urano with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (17:26).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Just Before Korakuen: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Shunma Katsumata defeated Takashi Sasaki, Shigehiro Irie & SAGAT when Ohka pinned SAGAT with the Flame Spear (17:46).

It’s just over two weeks away until Ganbare☆Pro returns to Korakuen Hall. Today’s go home show saw Ken Ohka run wild with help from Yumehito Imanari & Shunma Katsumata. Ohka went toe to toe with Takashi Sasaki then his team worked over on SAGAT. He took out Sasaki with the Flame Spear then hit the same move on SAGAT until he got the win. Ohka told Sasaki that this isn’t over because he wasn’t able to directly beat him today. His desire to beat Sasaki in a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match has grown stronger! Sasaki said Ohka has a history of running away while he is hungry to go full force in the Lighttube Death Match. It’s not enough for Ohka to just be at Korakuen Hall, he must get the courage to meet Sasaki face to face!

Imanari said his target for the match was Shigehiro Irie because he hasn’t forgotten the match they had in Korakuen last October. Imanari wants to win Irie’s respect so he asked him to team with Pocchari World Order and challenge for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles! Irie admitted he likes pocchari women so he’s happy to team with “The Outsider” Yumehito Imanari and “Big Sexy” Yuna Manase! This now makes him “Hollywood” Shigehiro Irie of the pWo!

At last something from Ganpro has slowed down Ikuto Hidaka’s momentum. Kouki Iwasaki pulled off the hot tag from Keisuke Ishii and rid of Hidaka with the Capture Suplex. He then pinned Yasu Urano with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT to win the match. He wasn’t convinced Hidaka was fighting at full effort though. The two agreed to have a singles match against each other at the 7th April Korakuen show. Iwasaki called Hidaka the finest prey to hunt.

If you’ve seen Onryo before then you will be familiar with the bag of tricks he used against Shota. The “ectoplasm “powder shaking off his body got in Shota’s way. Onryo also grabbed the referee’s hand to prevent a three count pin after Shota hit the Frog Splash. Shota later grabbed Onryo’s fist, thinking he was holding powder to throw at him. Onryo opened his hands to show nothing was in it, then shook the ectoplasm out of his hair again to blind Shota and pin him with the Onryo Clutch.

A mixed tag team tournament will be held on the 1st and 8th of May.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ α -HINAMATSURI EDITION-”, 03/03/2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far. The other side of the bracket involves two teams both with massive momentum behind them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GENGHIS KHAN KIRISHIMA PRESENTS TJPW PPV SHOW 3 ~11 VS 11 KOUHAKU TAIKO THE☆BATTLE 2021~”, 07/03/2021
OPENREC.tv

1. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
2. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
3. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
4. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
5. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
6. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

8. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
9. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

The first of these will be main evented by Hikari Noa and Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa has been wanting to do hardcore wrestling for ages and Rina was the first person she suggested as her opponent. She wants to learn as much hardcore wrestling as she can from her while in return introduce Rina to TJPW.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2021”, 07/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

3. Daihyo Vs Daihyo ~ Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Ken Ohka Vs Takashi Sasaki

Two promotion representatives face off in the main event. It’s Ken Ohka from Ganpro against Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS. Ohka wants to go one step further after he finally defeated The Aka Rangers and he is willing to go through lighttubes to do it!

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.

GANBARE☆PRO “CLIFFHANGER 2021” Results

February 21, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “CLIFFHANGER 2021”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
96 Fans

1. Shota’s Independent Journey: Shota defeated Hyper Brave G-Valion with a Casadora (9:33).
2. THE HALFEE Vs Sagat Manase: SAGAT & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai when SAGAT pinned Sakurai with a Diving Body Press (11:05).
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO when Ohka pinned GENTARO with the Flame Spear (12:45).
4. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Stray Dog High Kick (14:16).
5. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) when Tominaga submitted HARUKAZE with the Mokunin Just Facelock (17:36).
*DREAMS HARU TRUE fails in V1. Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga becomes the 25th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Oh well, easy come easy go. DREAMS HARU TRUE looked to be a well oiled machine by giving Shinichiro Tominaga a Triple Power Bomb. But HARUKAZE’s attempt to seal the deal fell apart when Tominaga blocked her Flame Spear, then Asuka caught her with a Super Kick and Hagane Shinno took her down with a Lariat. HARUKAZE had one chance left when she rolled away from Tominaga’s Moonsault and went for the Cross Armbreaker. But Tominaga powered out of it an applied the Just Facelock. HARUKAZE desperately tried to reach the ropes but had no choice but to tap out and lose her first championship without a single successful defence. Tominaga made it clear after the show that he does not want to defend the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in March so the team will go into Korakuen Hall on 7th April as the guaranteed reigning champions.

Keisuke Ishii said HARUKAZE did her best but it was time for DREAMS HARU TRUE to split up. HARUKAZE was upset but asked if Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki would reform the group in the future if she became stronger. They both nodded. Iwasaki then said he wants a rematch with Ikuto Hidaka so he can avenge his defeat to him. Ken Ohka approved and told the trio that today’s breakup is not a backwards step for any of them, but a positive move forward.

Iwasaki’s challenge to Hidaka came because Hidaka believes he has ran out of opponents in Ganbare☆Pro. Hidaka overcame a spirited fight from Yumehito Imanari but the result was no different to the previous matches in the “STOP THE Hidaka” campaign.

Ohka finally got what he wanted, a win over The Aka Rangers. Having Shuichiro Katsumura on his team was a difference maker. He kept Takashi Sasaki held back while Ohka was able to get the better of GENTARO. Ohka celebrated the victory by challenging Sasaki to a singles match at the April Korakuen show! Not only that but he wants it to be a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match! As Ohka’s senpai, Sasaki won’t run or hide away from the challenge. He’ll crush Ohka at Korakuen!

7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

When we last left Tetsuya Endo, he teased about having a secret training partner to help him prepare for Jun Akiyama. His only hint was this trainer is somebody who knows Akiyama inside and out. Well the secret has been revealed and that trainer is Kenta Kobashi! Endo has been training at Kobashi’s fitness gym in Tokyo after he approached Kobashi for advice. Kobashi knew about Endo beating Akiyama during the D-Ou Grand Prix but explained that a tournament match is different from a championship match. Akiyama won’t allow himself to lose to the same opponent twice in a row. He will also be more ruthless because he is now a freelancer and failing to win a championship will affect his wrestling career more than usual. His advice to Endo is to ruthlessly target Akiyama’s knees, especially the left one that he just had surgery on. If Endo can make Akiyama panic, then Endo has a chance to win. Simply doing the same stuff he did in the Grand Prix match won’t work a second time. Kobashi wants Endo to be bold and dynamic to broaden his wrestling style.

Kobashi is throwing his support behind Endo to defend the KO-D Openweight Title. He hopes to see Endo get fired up to do the Shooting Star Press just like he he used to fire up before doing the Moonsault. He also gave Endo dating advice when he found out Endo is single. Endo explained his type to him. He likes women with big boobs such as Tomomi Morisaki. Kobashi bragged about meeting Morisaki at a public event just one month ago. Also as a champion, he explained if Endo treats the belt well the belt will be happy and will always come back to him.

Kobashi will attend the show to provide special guest commentary for the main event. Akiyama has since pointed out that whenever Kobashi appears to watch his title matches, he usually wins.

Yuki Ueno is hoping to clear out all of his bitter memories of Yukio Sakaguchi beating him up. If he successfully defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against him then he can spend the rest of 2021 having fun and loving saunas. Ueno has been getting advice from Shinya Aoki to prepare for the match. Sakaguchi thinks the message that has been sent over the last few weeks is he’s strong while Ueno is weak. The two met for commemorative photo during the week and Sakaguchi tried to grab the belt from Ueno. Ueno told him if he wants to take pictures with the belt he should win it on the 14th. Sakaguchi punched Ueno in the stomach and posed with the belt.

Most of the women are excited for their match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi are motivated to team together and even form a competitive rivalry of some sort. Saori Anou on the other hand isn’t pleased to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto. She would much rather be on the same team as Akai or Yukihi. Matsumoto says the best thing about DDT is anything is possible and you are free to do anything. To her the charm of joshi wrestling is not just the glitter but also the grime. She wants Anou to understand that so they can work as a team.

BASARA “BASARA 149 ~GLITTER~”, 16/02/2021

GANBARE☆PRO “CLIFFHANGER 2021”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Shota’s Independent Journey: Shota Vs Hyper Brave G-Valion
2. THE HALFEE Vs Watase Manase: Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai Vs Mizuki Watase & Yuna Manase
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) Vs Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Ikuto Hidaka

I love the name of the main event. ZERO1 had “STOP THE Matsunaga”. Ganbare☆Pro gets “STOP THE Hidaka!” It’s only fitting for the ZERO1 connection that Yumehito Imanari becomes maybe the last man standing in the way of Ikuto Hidaka. Imanari made a promise to be the messiah for Ganpro.

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions already have a road map set out. The trio called DREAMS HARU TRUE want to defend the belts against Pocchari Joshi. However, Asuka demanded her team with Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga get another shot at the titles first because she will only wrestle in Ganpro for championships. She gets what she wants because Ken Ohka is worried she will walk out of the company, especially right before she could potentially become a breakout star in the AEW women’s tournament.

Ohka gets a second chance against the Aka Rangers. That’s if they can make it to the venue in time. Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO already have another match happening at a FREEDOMS and 2AW co-promoted show in Chiba earlier that day.

Even though he no longer has the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title around his waist, Shota still wants to bring the independent spirit to Ganpro. He is bringing in Hyper Brave G-Valion for a match. G-Valion is from a small Tokyo promotion called BRAVES.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2021”, 23/02/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Hiroshi Yamato & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Yusuke Okada & Keigo Nakamura
2. Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie

4. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
5. Junretsu Vs #STRONGHEARTS: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Shigehiro Irie
6. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yuji Hino Vs Yuki Iino
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO

MAO is happy to see his generation are now the main eventers of DDT. It’s a fight he never wants to give up. Konosuke Takeshita agrees and said the DDT Sauna Club runs in the centre of DDT. They main event Korakuen Hall, they’re main eventing Nagoya Congress Center and now they want the KO-D Tag Team Titles to add to their growing championship haul. These are just the kind of opponents Kazusada Higuchi is looking for. Also Sakaguchi disagrees about the age thing. Everyone from HARASHIMA to Danshoku Dieno are all doing their best no matter their age.

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

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

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

No matter who wins in the main event, the DDT Extreme Title will stay within the Sauna Club for the time being. Shunma Katsumata is also someone with a busy schedule coming up. He is entering the Ikki Tousen Death Match tournament in Big Japan next month.

The book has been booked.

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021” Results

February 7, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021”, 07/02/2021
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
110 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Seiseki Sakuragaoka Vs Taiwan Full Scale Battle: Yumehito Imanari defeated Rekka with the Tiger Driver (10:11).
2. Ganjo Special Single Match: Asuka defeated Yuna Manase with the ASKA FANTASY (8:33).
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers Full-Scale Battle: Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when GENTARO pinned Shota with the Back Drop Hold (17:43).
4. The Strongest Amateur Vs The Strongest Outside Enemy: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Shawn Capture (15:56).
5. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE defeated Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai (c) when Ishii pinned Sakurai with the Double Arm Driver (17:05).
*THE HALFEE fails in V3. DREAMS HARU TRUE becomes the 24th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

For the first time in her career, HARUKAZE is a champion! She’s been wrestling for 8 years and felt she was the only one in her generation getting beaten up while everyone else got stronger. Now thanks to Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki the three of them are the new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions! She named their trio DREAMS HARU TRUE and everyone agreed she was the hero of the show. The entire roster celebrated with her and as a group threw her up and down in the ring as the show ended. Backstage, HARUKAZE requested the first defence to be against a team representing Pocchari Joshi. She wants to beat Yuna Manase in the race to become the ace of Ganbare☆Pro.

However, Asuka also approached Ken Ohka after the show asking for a title shot with Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga on her team. The only reason she is still wrestling in Ganpro is to win championships so Ohka agreed under fear she would quit. Asuka’s team will get their title match on 21st February.

Ikuto Hidaka claimed another scalp as part of his unbeaten run in Ganpro. Tominaga came so close to beating him when he hit the Schwein and went for the JK finish. But Hidaka used the Shawn Capture out of nowhere to make his opponent tap out. Yumehito Imanari praised Hidaka for an exciting match against his friend and asked for a match at Narimasu on the 21st. Hidaka joked that he doesn’t have time to do the match but he wants to see if Imanari really does live and die for Ganpro. Imanari told him he is ready to be Ganpro’s messiah.

Today saw the reformation of the Aka Rangers, the old DDT tag team of Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO. It was Ohka’s request to fight them and he was overwhelmed by their skill as a team. Sasaki held Ohka down while GENTARO pinned Shota with the Back Drop. Sasaki was pleased to do the match for Ohka but believes he hasn’t changed much over the last twenty years. Ohka said he lost today but he will win next time. The Rangers agreed they will come back to Ganpro for a rematch because it seems like the fans want to see them beat up Ohka again. Ohka told them to show up in Narimasu on the 21st for the rematch. Sasaki said he and GENTARO are already wrestling in Chiba at noon that day but they promise to make the show in time.
