2. Moeka Haruhi & Yuuka defeated YuuRi & Kirari Wakana when Haruhi pinned Wakana with the Ojousama Clutch (15:20).
3. Ken Ohka & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Nakamura pinned Kawakami with the Octopus Killer (14:01).
4. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu when Tominaga pinned Ryu with a Moonsault Press (16:18).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine when Maeguchi pinned Shoji with the Kaibutsu Goroshi (13:28).
*V1 for The Deadlock.
Pride FC nostalgia can only take you so far these days and that kind of fighting spirit wasn’t enough to beat The Deadlock today. Hideki Sekine used his size and weight to throw the champions around but after he gave Takuya Wada a German Suplex, Tyson Maeguchi knocked him back with a Lariat. Maeguchi then avoided a Brainbuster from Akira Shoji and broke him down with knee strikes and kicks until a strong Middle Kick kept him down for the three count. The two teams shook hands afterwards and Maeguchi began asking if they could make a title challenge of his own? He called out Mizuki Watase and asked him for a match with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on the line. Then after that Watase can bring in a tag partner for a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles later down the line. Michiyoshi Mishima said he can book the SOG Title match first for 14th June. Backstage Watase said he might choose Shigehiro Irie as his partner because they already held the SOG Tag Titles together before. But he could go another direction and pick either Jun Kasai or even Rukiya instead.
Had things turned out differently during the show, Watase would have had a different opponent for his next title defence. Munetatsu Nakamura tried to approach him before their tag match began but Shota Kawakami cut him off. Nakamura ended up beating him using an Arm Clutch Belly-To-Belly Suplex called the Octopus Killer. That turned out to be a fitting name because Mishima then announced that Nakamura will be facing Chris Brookes at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show! Nakamura told the fans his history with Brookes from being a fan of his into becoming his friend. Brookes has done so much to help Nakamura out when he was injured including partially paying for his medical treatment. Nakamura asked Mishima to make this match happen on a Ganbare☆Pro because he thinks the best way of paying Brookes back is to beat him in a wrestling match.

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yuya Susumu with the Spinning Body Bomb (5:55).
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: PSYCHO defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Reverse Clover Hold (8:49).
3. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Taiwan Ramen Man and Hora-chan when Haruhi pinned Ramen Man and Hora-chan with a Double Jackknife Pin (9:10).
4. Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima when Watase submitted Motojima with a Crab Hold (12:54).
5. Rin defeated YuuRI with a Locomotion School Boy (12:06).
6. Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka, Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji when Maeguchi pinned Tominaga with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (15:38).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated PSYCHO with a Tiger Suplex (12:07).
All this time spent demanding a match with Keisuke Ishii and Yuya Susumu lost to him in under six minutes? Well, Ishii was a man on a mission today because he was determined to become the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He was Ganbare☆Pro’s last hope against the outside competition when PSYCHO eliminated Shuichiro Katsumura over on the other side of the bracket. Ishii was able to beat PSYCHO in the final and he joked about the fans and probably even Mizuki Watase were disappointed over the result. However, Watase reminded Ishii of the match they had at Korakuen Hall three years ago. He wants the two of them to surpass it in the same building on 29th April! Ishii said that date is when he is at his absolute best form. Watase thought about what he meant and remembered that is the date when Ishii won the All Asia Tag Team Titles back in 2014!
At the end of Match #6 Tyson Maeguchi came to the realization that he just beat one half of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions and it was thanks to the other half. The finish of the match was Yumehito Imanari hitting Shinichiro Tominaga with a Lariat and then Maeguchi finished off Tominaga with the Flying Knee Kick. Maeguchi decided he should get a title shot against Touchable at the 29th April Korakuen show. Ken Ohka offered to be his tag partner but Maeguchi turned him down to team with Takuya Wada instead. Wada agreed, having already kept his schedule open hoping to get booked on the show. He warned everyone that he didn’t come back to GanPro to be treated like a punching bag again! Michiyoshi Mishima thought over their request and pointed out both Maeguchi and Wada are former tag champions but the physcial belts did not exist when Maeguchi was on the first champion team. Mishima felt the two of them would be perfect opponents for Touchable and agreed to book the match.

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the Venetian (16:08).
*V1 for Mizuki Watase.
The first title defence is in the bag but it almost could have gone so wrong for Mizuki Watase. He was ready to fight Takuya Wada, “The King Of Pancrase” and didn’t expect he would face Takuya Wada the pro wrestler. Watase kept simulating the match over and over to prepare for today and had the conclusion that as long as he wouldn’t give up to Wada’s submission holds, he would win in the end. That was proven right and he won by pinning Wada with the Venetian.
After the match Shuichiro Katsumura challenged Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and the champion said it is a match suitable to headline Korakuen Hall. That comment led to a chain reaction of different wrestlers getting into the ring. Keisuke Ishii said Katsumura was jumping the gun and if anybody deserved to be in a Korakuen title match main event again it is him. Then Yuya Susumu showed up complaining that Ishii should be fighting him next instead of getting a title shot again. PSYCHO also got into the ring to let everyone know he wants the next shot without actually saying anything. Michiyoshi Mishima thought a 4 Way Match should between everyone should determine the No. 1 Contender until someone shouted it should be a tournament instead. Mishima agreed and made a one day tournament for 28th March for the No. 1 Contendership. Ishii and Susumu will finally have their singles match while Katsumura faces PSYCHO. Meanwhile Watase said he wants to go have a title defence over in America before the next Korakuen show happens!
Shigehiro Irie must be missing Germany while the 16 Carat Gold Tournament is happening over there this weekend. He used his AUF DIE FRESSE finisher (holds the opponent’s arm in a Hammerlock behind their head and then knocks them down with an Elbow Butt) to win his match.
Some other matches were made for upcoming GanPro shows. On 28th March YuuRI will face Rin, the former Rin Kadokura who recently returned to wrestling but will be retiring from the business this upcoming May. Ken Ohka also wants to form a Toyama trio with Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji at that show. Then on 29th April there are two matches booked so far. The first is Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu to celebrate Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling. The other match is YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashishita from Marigold!

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase defeated Masaaki Mochizuki (c) with the Bare Elbow (18:10).
*Masaaki Mochizuki fails in V6. Mizuki Watase becomes the 10th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!
The reign of Masaaki Mochizuki has come to an end. Mizuki Watase is now a two time Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion! He took an early advantage when during a fight outside the ring, Mochizuki missed a kick and his leg made contact with the corner post. While that didn’t stop Mochizuki from throwing kicks, Watase taunted him by saying he will stand and take the blows until the leg breaks! Mochizuki went on to Middle Kick him 19 times before giving him the Twister but it only got him a two count. Watase went to use the Venetian but Mochizuki escaped and hit the Shin Saikyou High Kick. However Watase wasn’t knocked down by it and he hit back with an Elbow Strike followed by the Bare Elbow Strike, pinning Mochizuki down to the mat to get the pin and become champion again.
Watase was too beaten up to start talking immediately after the match so he allowed Mochizuki to speak first. Mochizuki said its been 10 months since his first match in Ganbare☆Pro and 6 months since he became the SOG Champion. He thanked the fans for cheering him on despite being an outsider and he values the enjoyable experience he’s had here. He though he would have held the SOG Title for the rest of his career but instead his mission ended today. He then wrapped the title belt around Watase and Watase thanked him for being a strong wall that made all of the GanPro wrestlers grow by fighting him. Watase told Michiyoshi Mishima he’s going to cause some trouble because he is booked for a death match in America this April (does he mean the Death Vegas Invitacional?) and he will bring the belt with him. But as long as he is here, GanPro will never die! All of the wrestlers celebrating him left the ring to end the show but Takuya Wada was the last one to get out. He made a signal to Watase that he wants to challenge him for the title.
Yuya Susumi returned to GanPro looking to get his singles match with Keisuke Ishii. He got the winning submission in his match then reappeared after Ishii’s match to confront him over the potential singles bout.

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Fisherman Buster (9:53).
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa defeated Haruka Umesaki & Soy when YuuRI submitted Soy with a Spiral Dragon Sleeper (12:05).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase when Johnson pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife Pin (11:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Kneel Kick (11:53).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu by Referee Stoppage when Nakatsu used a Rear Naked Choke on Shiryu (18:52).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (19:57).
*V2 for Masaaki Mochizuki.
This was Yuna Manase’s second chance at becoming the first woman to win a Spirit Of Ganbare Championship. She is now also the second woman Masaaki Mochizuki ever had a singles match against, the first being Sakura Hirota twelve years ago. He wasn’t comfortable at first having to fight Manase but took her seriously when she went on the attack from the start of the match. Manase was able to kick out of the Twister but was pretty much out on her feet so Mochizuki finished her off with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (right leg instead of the left leg). He told her afterwards she doesn’t need to say anything about the match because everyone who came to see it understood it very well. He’s now starting to love wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro because of how fun it is and looks forward to facing his next challenger. He then helped walk Manase out of the ring and back to the locker room. Backstage Manase said she just had a championship match against Masaaki Mochizuki so she can absolutely call herself a pro wrestler and be proud of it.
At the end of the show Ken Ohka approached Michiyoshi Mishima and begged for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title shot so he can do his part to protect GanPro. He also thinks as the founder of the company it would be fitting if he was the one to beat Mochizuki for the title. Mishima said if Mochizuki will agree to it, he will put the match together. When Mochizuki learned of the idea, he pointed out that Ohka couldn’t beat Shuichiro Katsumura in the previous No. 1 Contender match. But he accepts the challenge and is confident he will beat Ohka in five minutes. GanPro is trying to get the match booked for their 29th November show in Tokyo but they are aware that Dragon Gate also has a show taking place in Okinawa that day.
Ohka had a chance on this show to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles but it didn’t turn out that way in the end. Choun Shiryu did a big stunt dive from the top of a wall onto Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto but back in the ring Ohka accidentally hit him with the Flame Spear. Nakatsu took advantage and clamped a Rear Naked Choke onto Shiryu until the referee decided to stop the match. The BASARA team then found out who is next to challenge them. YuuRI came out and said she doesn’t want to be confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division so she is challenging them to a title match! When it was pointed out that she doesn’t have a partner, Katsumura joined her side and said a tomboy like YuuRI needs a guardian like himself. The title match will go ahead on 29th November.
The reason why YuuRI made that challenge is because she is currently riding on a big confidence boost. That was caused by her announcement earlier in the show that she will be facing Sareee at Korakuen Hall on 27th December! The match will celebrate YuuRI’s 5th Anniversary in wrestling and she promises it won’t just be a dream match. She will use everything she has accumulated in the last five years together to beat Sareee!
Moeka Haruhi will return from her hiatus on the 29th November show.

4. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Shiro Koshinaka, Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (14:15).
What was supposed to be a fun day at Tokorozawa Park Town for Ganbare☆Pro has turned into a bit of an emergency because they have lost one of their championships to a rival organization! Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto from BASARA have brought an end to Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase’s title reign but plans were quickly put in place for GanPro to launch at rescue mission. After the main event Keisuke Ishii said he will go win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back and he will do it with either Yumehito Imanari or Shinichiro Tominaga as his tag partner. However Shota Kawakami stepped up and pleaded to team with Ishii, claiming he would have beaten him today with the Fisherman Buster if Ishii’s teammates didn’t come break the pin. Ishii asked the crowd for their opinion and their chants for Kawakami convinced him to make a decision. Michiyoshi Mishima told the pair to go get his championships back and Kawakami even suggested he can take one of the BASARA titles in the process! Meanwhile the new champs are inviting GanPro fans to come see BASARA because they think BASARA is more fun.
When Match #2 spilt to the outside, Aja Kong went over to the shop sponsoring the show Fresh Ariyama and grabbed some of their produce to attack her opponents with.

1. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Sentaro Motoshima with (9:09).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Makoto defeated YuuRI & Misa Kagura when Haruhi submitted Kagura ith the 79.5MHz 2.0 (9:36)
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Brainbuster Slam (13:06).
4. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:06).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Yuna Manase when Sasaki pinned Manase with a Lariat (15:21).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Ken Ohka by Referee Stoppage with the Triple Three 3 Lock (23:52).
There was a dispute over who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title but now it is clear. Masaaki Mochizuki’s original nominee Shuichiro Katsumura beat Ken Ohka to earn the title shot. The ref was forced to stop the match when Ohka was trapped in the Triple Three 3 Lock but wouldn’t (or couldn’t) give up. After the match Katsumura spoke about how much he’s looked up to Ohka for the last ten years because Ohka protected Ganbare☆Pro from all invaders. In that time more people joined GanPro and became strong enough to do their part in protecting the company. Ohka was fired up from the speech and promised to continue leading GanPro for as long as there are people who will follow him.
Emotions over the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS feud are getting even hotter. The match didn’t even start when the two teams started fighting each other. The FREEDOMS side won thanks to Takashi Sasaki pinning Yuna Manase with a Lariat but the fighting continued after the match had ended. When things started looking too dangerous, YuuRI showed up to protect Manase from Sasaki. His taunting also made her mad enough to spray him in the face. He still declared while leaving that FREEDOMS had successfully taken over the GanPro ring.
GanPro also have attacks from BASARA to worry about. When Takumi Tsukamoto’s team won in Match #3, Mizuki Watase held up his Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title at him and said he wants to defend the belts against BASARA wrestlers. He then said he and Shigehiro Irie can face Tsukamoto and Ryota Nakatsu for their next title defence on 27th September! Tsukamoto liked the idea but did not agree to it straight away because he will need to check with Nakatsu first.
When the show had ended, YuuRI & Manase went back to the ring to rally the fans. YuuRI said she doesn’t want to be limited to the Ganbre☆Joshi division because she wants to join the fight against FREEDOMS! Sasaki and his team overheard her and came up with an idea. Both promotions are busy running their own shows on 20th September but Shin-Kiba 1st RING recently informed him that they have a slot vacant for 16th October. So let’s have the two sides take part in a full scale battle that day! Every match will be FREEDOMS Vs GanPro and Sasaki can even organize it to have the FREEDOMS fans fill up one side of the building and the GanPro fans fill up the other side. Michiyoshi Mishima agreed to the idea but started having doubts when Sasaki told him the FREEDOMS side will include Jun Kasai and Mammoth Sasaki. However Manase and YuuRI are both excited to finally join the fight.
Moeka Haruhi announced she will miss the next several shows to rest and take care of her physical health.

4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada defeated Fuminori Abe, MAO & Tyson Maeguchi when Ishii pinned Maeguchi with the High-Angle Double Arm DDT (9:12).
5. Double Main Event I ~ Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Yumehito Imanari (c) with a Dragon Suplex (12:49).
*Yumehito Imanari fails in V6. Masaaki Mochizuki becomes the 9th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!
6. Double Main Event II ~ Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Jun Kasai defeated Mizuki Watase with the Cross-Arm Stimulation (19:24).
To celebrate ten years of being a pro wrestler Mizuki Watase dared to challenge Jun Kasai to a Lighttube Death Match. The reason for this was in 2016 Watase challenged Kasai to a Hardcore match at a DNA show and in the aftermath Watase wanted to challenge Kasai to a rematch with death match rules! The two lived up to their promise and Kasai quipped about how these matches aren’t easy while he was cutting up Watase with the lighttubes. He also dug some skewers into Watase’s head then sat down on a chair asking Watase to give the fans something exciting to watch. Watase then dug a bunch of skewers into Kasai’s head. Watase kicked out of the Pearl Harbor Splash as well as a Headbutt through lighttubes and also the Reverse Tiger Driver. Kasai had to pull out the Cross-Arm Stimulation Piledriver to finally get the three count on Watase.
After the match Kasai told fans the story about their DNA match. At the time he turned down the rematch because he didn’t want to see a young wrestler like Watase rush through his life. But Kasai is 50 now and is hitting his ceiling. He completely forgot about the death match request until Watase approached him to remind him of it. It impressed Kasai that Watase remembered it in a world where there are people who easily break promises to others. Since 23rd August is the anniversary of Watase’s pro wrestling debut, Kasai declared that 26th August will become the anniversary of Watase’s death match debut! When Watase heard that he quickly came up with a request to wrestle at the FREEDOMS show in Korakuen Hall happening in two days time. His request was accepted so Watase then called over to Michiyoshi Mishima and asked him to get Ganbare☆Pro four dates at Korakuen for next year instead of just three. Watase closed the show telling everyone that so many people had helped him in his first ten years. With the start of his eleventh year it is now his turn to help others.
Yumehito Imanari’s reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion has come to an end at the hands of Masaaki Mochizuki. Everything that worked for Imanari in his recent matches from Lariats to Tiger Drivers to Lou Thesz Presses couldn’t put the Dragongate wrestler away. He was able to kick out of the Twister at one but and also block the Triangle Kick with a Lariat but a missed charge led to Mochizuki pinning Imanari with a Dragon Suplex. Mochizuki said he expected to win more easily but he understands how carrying the weight of a promotion on your shoulders makes you stronger. He then said as the new champion he is open to any challenge but he already has a first opponent in mind, Shuichiro Katsumura! However when Katsumura accepted the challenge, Ken Ohka entered the ring pleading to challenge Mochizuki first. Mochizuki called him stupid because he already beat Ohka back in April. He then said out loud that Ohka would at least need to beat Katsumura first to be considered for a title shot. Ohka took that statement to heart and said he will fight Katsumura and the winner will become Mochizuki’s first challenger!
The GanPro and FREEDOMS teams kept brawling with each other after Match #3 ended. That included Yuna Manase who was at ringside as GanPro’s flag bearer.
The debuting rookie Sentaro Motoshima is feeling nothing but regret over how his first match went. He knew he had a high wall to climb but he wanted to win and instead he tapped out to a Crab Hold. But he has an image of what kind of pro wrestler he wants to be. Since Munetatsu Nakamura and Shota Kawakami use flashy moves, Motoshima wants to go the opposite direction and wrestle a strong style similar to Riki Choshu or Genichiro Tenryu.

-. Exhibition Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
The first battle in this summer feud between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS goes to GanPro! They were the home team for today’s main event but the visitors aren’t going to take defeat lying down. After Mizuki Watase pinned Daisuke Masaoka for the victory, Takashi Sasaki told the GanPro team not to let their guard down because this rivalry has only just begun. The next inter-promotional match will be at a FREEDOMS show in Shuichiro Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama on 17th August. Sasaki promised he will embarrass Katsumura in front of his own people! He then told Watase that GanPro’s “amateur” training cannot prepare him for a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai on 26th August. Ken Ohka defended Watase by saying everybody has a first time for everything! Watase and nobody else in GanPro for that matter are going to fight FREEDOMS with the intention of losing. Watase then said if it he was just going to have a normal rules match with Kasai he would definitely beat him right now! He is going to put everything he’s learned during his 10 year career into this match so don’t underestimate him.
The Ken Ohka Vs Thanomsak Toba was put together as a tribute for the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. Both wrestlers spoke about their memories of him after the match.
The GanPro trainee Sentaro Motoshima was given plenty of chances to do stuff in the ring today. At the start of the show he had a five minute exhibition match with Ken Ohka. The intent of the match was to last the full five minutes so it continued even though Ohka made Motoshima submit to a Crab Hold halfway through. Ohka criticised Motoshima after the match by telling him he did no good and has to try harder. Yumehito Imanari joined in and told Motoshima he is taking his debut match set for 26th August for granted which means he is also underestimating GanPro as a whole. Imanari then decided that Motoshima would have an exhibition match with him at the end of the show!
The bonus exhibition did go ahead after the FREEDOMS team made their exit. Imanari attacked Motoshima with a chair leading to them fighting out in the crowd. Back in the ring Motoshima escaped from a Crab Hold and kept Imanari back with Dropkicks until the time expired. The bell rang but the two continued fighting for another two minutes. When they finally stopped, Imanari asked the audience if they could understand Motoshima’s feelings and if he deserves to have make his pro debut? The audience applauded his efforts. Imanari told him pro wrestling is tough and scares him because he has seen so many people get injured but the determination to overcome those fears is why he is here with Ohka supporting GanPro. For the last 12 years they’ve been waiting for a guy like Motoshima to join them. Ohka confirmed the debut is going ahead and he advised the trainee never to forget to be grateful to the fans.
During the show Michiyoshi Mishima announced more matches for the 26th August Korakuen Hall show. MAO is coming to GanPro to team with Fuminori Abe & Tyson Maeguchi to take on Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada. Also the Ganbare☆Joshi match for the show will be Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori.
GanPro also announced that their next Korakuen show after August will be on 27th December.

*V5 for Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie.
Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura wanted to be a big deal going into the main event so they made their entrance by driving a car into Shin-Kiba 1st RING! In the preview match last month Mizuki Watase used an Arm Lock submission he named the NAGISA to take Nakamura to the brink of injury. He used the move on Nakamura again in this match but this time Nakamura was able to escape it. He tried to gain some momentum on Watase but Shigehiro Irie was there to stop that from happening. Watase had to beat the determination out of Nakamura before he could get a three count with the Venetian. He bowed after the match to show respect but Nakamura was in such an emotional state he slapped Watase in response. Watase took it in his stride and told the fans Nakamura is a talent that Ganbare☆Pro is proud of. However Watase wants GanPro to grow and fill bigger buildings than Shin-Kiba. He will be facing Jun Kasai at Korakuen Hall on 26th August to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut. He believes when he beats Kasai it will blow up GanPro to even greater heights!
Sugiura also had praise to give Nakamura backstage. As far as he sees it, Nakamura is no longer Young Ganbare or the future of GanPro. He is a star for GanPro now! Nakamura agrees because new rookies have arrived and he does not want to be lumped in with them. He wants to continue teaming with Sugiura so they can go win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles together.
The first time Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka have teamed up could not have gotten any better for them. When their tag match broke down into chaos, Ohka went and gave Shinichiro Tominaga the Flame Spear and Mochizuki finished him off with the Twister Brainbuster. With a 100% victory record (they’ve only had one match) Ohka thinks the two of them can go straight into challenging for the SOG Tag Titles. Mochizuki couldn’t believe it is that easy to challenge for a title in GanPro but he decided the team isn’t going to work out and he declined the offer. The reason is because Mochizuki has his eyes on a bigger prize. He wants to fight Yumehito Imanari for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title! Imanari quickly agreed to it and Michiyoshi Mishima was overjoyed to book the match for 26th August as long as Dragongate gives him permission. Mochizuki assured him that they don’t have a show that day so he is 99.999999% certain they will approve it.
Keisuke Ishii took a big risk in teaming with Leatherface and it blew up in his face. They ended up getting in each other’s way once too often and Leatherface ended up attacking Ishii instead of the other team! When the monster left the ring in anger, Shuichiro Katsumura picked up the pieces and pinned Ishii to win.
It was a big day for YuuRI because not only did she wrestle in a new outfit but she defeated Mio Shirai all by herself too. The result completely rips up the plan Shirai had to stay in GanPro. Had she won the match she would have thrown out a challenge to anyone in the promotion to fight her at Korakuen on 26th August. But in the aftermath of losing today’s match she hasn’t received any further booking offers from GanPro. She doesn’t want to believe it because GanPro is built on losers getting second chances. She wonders if she needs to go have a talk with Ohka to get another booking.
The name of Tyson Maeguchi’s finisher is a phrase that’s normally used to politely asked to be excused. The actual move is a Pumping Knee Strike to the face and there’s not really a polite way to do that.
There was a public exhibition involving the trainee Sentaro Motoshima before the show began. He fought a five minute practice match with Ohka where the aim was simply to last the time limit rather than win or lose. Motoshima still tried to pin Ohka after giving him a Body Slam but only got a one count out of it. Ohka then did a Body Slam of his own and held Motoshima in a Crab Hold until the time expired.
GanPro’s sort of friendly rivalry with FREEDOMS is not ending here. At the end of the show Takashi Sasaki confronted Ohka and Katsumura telling them there is still a lot to happen between the two groups. He likes the inter-promotional matches and wants more to help liven up the indies. There will be GanPro Vs FREEDOMS matches taking place on the 11th August GanPro show, the 17th August FREEDOMS show and the 26th August Korakuen show.
