April 5, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “NEON DEMON 2026”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takuya Wada & Ryuma Sekimo defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Sentaro Motoshima when Wada submitted Sekimo with a Front Choke (13:28).
2. Moeka Haruhi & YuuRI defeated Yuki Mashiro & Konomi Hori when YuuRI submitted Hori with a Flying Body Scissors Sleeper Hold (14:44).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (11:14).
4. Mizuki Watase & SUSHI defeated Keisuke Ishii & Leatherface when SUSHI pinned Ishii with a School Boy (10:35).
5. Ken Ohka, Guts Ishijima & Banana Senga defeated Yumehito Imanari, Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with the Flame Spear (19:32).

The main event was set up to help Ken Ohka prepare for his 25th Anniversary match taking place on 29th April at Korakuen Hall. He said afterwards he wants to make that show an exciting one with all of his friends. He then held a post-show talk with Guts Ishijima that was suddenly interrupted by Leatherface dragging Mizuki Watase into the ring. Keisuke Ishii got in and attacked Watase with the Double Arm Lock Driver before leaving the venue with his suitcase.

Leatherface was at the show because he was Ishii’s mystery partner for the tag team match against Watase and his surprise choice, SUSHI. Things went crazy in the end with Leatherface accidentally hitting Ishii with a Lariat. Watase then hit Ishii with an Elbow Butt, knocking him into a School Boy from SUSHI for the pinfall. Watase bragged that the result was decided from the start because he anticipated Ishii would bring in Leatherface but Ishii never expected Watase would tag with SUSHI.

After Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi in a preview of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles match, their respective partners Yumehito Imanari and Takuya Wada got into a staredown with each other. Backstage Imanari said he could feel the emotion in Maeguchi’s blows but he was the calmer wrestler today. The wrestlers with martial art backgrounds are scary because they are always ready to take on anyone. Touchable can be passionate too but they also calmly observe the situation as the match progresses. That’s why Touchable are confident they will defend the tag titles on 29th April. Maeguchi admitted he fell into his bad habit of rushing to win today. He wants to be perfectly prepared for the title match. Wada complained that everybody else are doing comical things in Ganbare☆Pro while he is trying to be serious.

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~”, 09/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai

6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya

Beer Garden not only brings back the King Of Drunk tournament for another year but there is also a Nautilus reunion happening on the show too! Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura will be properly teaming up for the first time since 2020. There’s been a multi-man match or two when they’ve been on the same side but an honest to God Nautilus match you’ll have to go back five and a half year or so to find the last one.

They grow up so fast. Yuni is becoming a college student but is still too young to legally drink so it’s a bit mean of DDT to have this match happen at a Beer Garden show. At least Junta Miyawaki is allowed to take part in the fun for his first Beer Garden show. Masami Inahata too, I think.

BASARA “BASARA 305 ~OSAKA HARUNO-JIN SUMINOE~”, 12/04/2026
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Daichi Kazato
2. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Banana Senga
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Gouma Ryu & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
4. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

It was only back in January when SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken challenged for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. They lost the match and had a crisis of confidence but quickly patched themselves up. When Aijin Tag won the titles, the Super Family pair jumped at the chance to ask for another shot. They’re being rewarded for being so bold but it may just be that Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino see them as an easy first defence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

All three new champions coming out of Sumo Hall will be making their first defences at the Las Vegas show. It was already announced that J-Rod would get the Princess Title shot but instead of getting a rematch with Miu Watanabe, it will now be a first time singles match against Yuki Arai. J-Rod sent a message saying pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and she is ready to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion on her own home soil. There is a chance that Arai and J-Rod will get a preliminary tag match against each other at one of the Vancouver shows but Tetsuya Koda has not made his decision yet.

Kyoraku Kyomei will be The IInspiration’s first challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao like to gamble big whenever they visit Vegas. They also took it upon themselves to get the brand new tag title belts back in TJPW’s hands. Unfortunately Misao cannot confirm if there will be Dramatic Hypami bike in Las Vegas after the one in Texas fell apart. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee showed concern for the roster after hearing the wrestlers had a troublesome trip back home to Japan from the Texas tour. However, they claim they were able to win the titles on just three hours sleep so how will Kyoraku Kyomei fare against them when they have the full eight hours in America?

Before Suzume can make it to Golden Week, she must survive fighting the ninja Sakura Hattori under the bright lights of Vegas! Hattori handed Suzume a scroll at Sumo Hall to tell her she wanted a title shot. Another scroll has since been sent telling Suzume to be prepared because Hattori is targeting her and can take the IP Title away in an instant! As we get towards the match, Hattori is sprinting through a singles match winning streak that’s been going on ever since her gimmick switch.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

All of a sudden Ganbare☆Pro has a Korakuen Hall main event rematch that is three years in the making. Back in Mizuki Watase’s first reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion he defeated Keisuke Ishii that was highly praised by those who took the time to watch it. Ishii won a No. 1 Contender tournament to set up the rematch and Watase wants it to be an even better fight than the first one!

Both Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi have held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles in the past. In fact, Maeguchi was one of the first champions and Wada was one of the second champions. Together they might be the team that can beat Touchable for the belts. That would mean a lot to Maeguchi in particular because the physical championship belts did not exist when he was supposed to hold them.

I get how Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura against Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji is meant to be the shooter match but I feel like this is going to be a coin flip over if it will be good or not.

All of these comedy matches Moeka Haruhi has been doing lately has lead her to this. She now has to face the Triple Six queen herself Ram Kaichow!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Winner Of 5 Way Match

Suzume is noticing that many wrestlers in TJPW have been growing stronger lately, many of whom she hasn’t defend the title against before. She thinks there will definitely be plenty of first time matchups happening during this title reign.


GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026” Results

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
134 Fans

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.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
143 Fans

1. Yumehito Imanari defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Crab Hold (10:23).
2. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shin Suzuki defeated Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika when Shoji pinned Shiryu with the STO (10:13).
3. Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami with the AUF DIE FRESSE (12:37).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated YuuRI with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:18).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Susumu submitted Tominaga with the Crossface Lock (11:31).
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!

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya when Imanari pinned Moriya with the Lariat (?:??).
*V2 for Touchable.

Although Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya lost to Touchable in the title match main event, they still have belief in their abilities to change Japan in a positive way with their pro wrestling. Moriya told Ohka they just need to energize and do their best.

After Match #4, Yuto Kikuchi gestured to Mizuki Watase that he wants to fight him for a championship next time. Watase signalled that he can fight him for either the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title or the King Of FREEDOM World Tag Team Titles.

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.

6. MIRAI & Toga Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami

This will be the final time Tokyo Joshi Pro comes to Kobe Art Center. The venue will be going under changes and the planned finished layout is considered to be unsuitable for holding wrestling shows according to Tetsuya Koda. So in the future TJPW will be looking for another venue in Kobe to host Mizuki’s homecoming shows. Somehow I don’t expect the Ring Soul bar to be among the options.

The International Princess Title scene gathers together for an important preview match. The current champion MIRAI is hanging around for a while and is teaming with her previous challenger Toga. On the other team is MIRAI’s next challenger Suzume along with her Daisy Monkey partner and former champion Arisu Endo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Well, Ober Eats said they wanted to face a tag team that are a big deal. They also said they want to have the best match on the show and er… yeah… it’s nice to want things. Anyway TJPW went and got The IInspiration to be Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara’s next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The Australian pair of Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were known as The IIconics in WWE before going to TNA with the name change. They won the women’s tag team championships in both companies and just recently signed a deal with AEW so they match the requirements Ober Eats were looking for.

The mascot Minimo-chan spent Monday training with Mahiro Kiryu for its upcoming pro wrestling debut. Super Sasadango Machine gave Minimo-chan the task of learning a special move but Kiryu was sceptical over the mascot’s ability to wrestle. Minimo-chan proved her wrong by running the ropes, doing Wrist Locks and even performing a Side Thrust Kick to the ribs with ease. It then told Kiryu that with this kick it will win its debut match in Sumo Hall! An interview was held after training where Minimo-chan revealed it used to watch All Japan VHS tapes over and over until they all wore out. Its favorite wrestlers are Steve Williams, Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat. Minimo-chan also aims to eventually fight for a championship!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

How curious. The next TJPW Inspiration show will feature Rika Tatsumi, Mahiro Kiryu, Arisu Endo, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki on the card along with three guest wrestlers. While this is going on Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino and Toga will be in Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Weekend. Yamashita and Toga already have match bookings but the other three are so far only advertised for a meet and greet at WrestleCon. The mystery continues.


Shuji In BASARA, Max Heart Final, “Newcomer” Akito, GanPro Title Matches

February 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 299 ~TAKAGARI 32~”, 11/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Yuki Ishida
2. SAGAT Vs Lil’ Kraken
3. Isami Kodaka & Ryuma Sekimo Vs Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano
4. Takumi Tsukamoto & Masato Kamino Vs FUMA & Seiya Morohashi
5. Shuji Ishikawa, Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

As long as Shuji Ishikawa hold the Union MAX Title, he is going to treat BASARA like a second home. He is currently scheduled to be on all of their shows for February and March.

The Super Family are hitting some sort of rough patch after failing to win the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on the last show. Lil’ Kraken wonders if they should split up but SAGAT still wants to team with him. After taking a day to think about it, the decision was made to have the two face each other in a singles bout. Is this just something to get their frustrations out or will it be a (super) family rift that cannot be healed?

Yuki Ishida from DDT makes another appearance here. He’ll take on BASARA’s young prospect Takeru Inoue in the opener.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 14/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Shoko Nakajima & Sara Phoenix Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
4. Max The Impaler, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) Vs Aja Kong
7. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Toga
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

It’s new territory for the Max Heart Tournament because the current Princess Tag Team Champions have reached the final for the first time. Ober Eats are now just one win away from winning the whole thing and living up to the votes they got for the Best Tag Team category in the recent Tokyo Sports Awards. Meanwhile Mizuki & Uta Takami are on something of a miracle run as a tag team, although they want to prove they deserve to be here through hard work and well earned success instead of luck and good fortune.

There’s an alternate timeline where Daydream and Kyoto Tag could have been a semi final match in the tournament. Instead they’re facing each other on the undercard to help build up March’s Princess Of Princess Title match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai.

Opponents have now become tag partners. Shoko Nakajima liked wrestling Sara Phoenix so much she wants to team with her. They may end up being a bounce back team for Daisy Monkey though.

A first win awaits for either Ren Konatsu or Shion Kanzaki.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

This is the full card but the only confirmation of the match order is the opener and the main event. Yuki Ueno challenges Pokotan to a one on one battle while Akito returns to his rookie roots to wrestle as Akito Nishigaki once more. Also there is another Brahman Brother among us! Unless I’m reading the name wrong and it is Barman Sasaki instead of Brahman Sasaki.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

The time has come for Mizuki Watase to challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title again. He won the title before against seemingly impossible odds and can repeat the feat if he can dethrone Masaaki Mochizuki.

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026” Results

January 31, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
185 Fans

1. Akira Shoji defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Reverse Triangle Choke (5:29).
2. Hong Kong International Police Woman defeated Hong Kong International Police Man with the Ojosama Clutch (14:41).
3. Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Chanyota & Non Toraga when Manase pinned Toraga with the Lariat (8:24).
4. Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase defeated Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with a Bear Elbow (17:11).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii when Susumu submitted Ishii with the Crossface Lock (15:53).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with a Crucifix Pin (17:08).
*V5 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

It was a rocky road to get to this show with some changes happening along the way. Masaaki Mochizuki was supposed to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Munetatsu Nakamura but Nakamura pulled out with a neck injury and was replaced by Shinichiro Tominaga. Then the location of the show had to change from Takashimadaira Kumin Center over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING on short notice because the first venue was being turned into a polling station for the upcoming House Of Representative elections.

In the main event, Tominaga came close to winning with his finisher but Mochizuki countered it with a sudden Crucifix Pin to win the match and survive a close shave. He praised Tominaga for acting like a pinch hitter for today’s show. He heard that Tominaga is the strongest “amateur” pro wrestler but today’s performance showed there is nothing amateur about him. He had more of a sense for pro wrestling than many people Mochizuki has fought in the past. Mizuki Watase entered the ring and talked up Mochizuki for being a great champion. Watase feels like he is at the point where he can beat a great champion like Mochizuki so he wants a title shot. The champion knew he would face Watase some day but didn’t expect it to be this soon, although he admits the time is right in Watase’s case.

Yuya Susumu has come back to Ganbare☆Pro on a mission to get a singles match against Keisuke Ishii. In today’s tag match he countered Ishii’s Double Arm DDT into a Crossface Lock, making Ishii immediately tap out to the move. Susumu then promised he isn’t going to run away from GanPro just because he beat Ishii today. He’ll come back so he can get that singles match he wants so much.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka announced he will be teaming up with freelance wrestler Hiroaki Moriya at GanPro’s Osaka show on 1st March. They are scheduled to face Touchable at the show so Ohka wants the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles to be on the line. Yumehito Imanari agreed to the challenge but only on the condition that Ohka goes and vote in the elections before then.

More last minute changes were needed when Moeka Haruhi and Choun Shiryu both unexpectedly no showed the event. Luckily GanPro had two replacements on hand who had a grievance with each other. Hong Kong International Police Woman defeated Hong Kong International Police Man in a match that was built around a crime case involving police corruption.
