196 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Choun-Shiryu defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (9:05).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with a Knee Drop (6:40).

4. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Last Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Match: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa defeated YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara when Manase pinned Hasegawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:22).
5. Mizuki Watase defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by TKO when Watase used the NAGISA on Nakamura and Toru Sugiura threw in the towel (12:54).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Power Bomb (12:36).
*V5 for Yumehito Imanari.

Given that Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi is digging deep into his combat sports roots he aimed to beat Yumehito Imanari by knockout. But Imanari’s faith in pro wrestling won out in the end. He was reminded of the time Keiji Muto fought Don Frye and Muto said he had no choice but to prepare for his Frye’s punches. Imanari was able to beat the 10 counts, block Maeguchi’s punches and drop him with a Power Bomb to get the win in the end. Imanari gave praise to Maeguchi after the match for being who he wants to be, which is a goal of Ganbare☆Pro. He found a way to mix together kickboxing with pro wrestling and take it all over the indies. Imanari brought up that they recently wrestled a match together at a okonomiyaki restaurant in Suidobashi. He congratulated Maeguchi on becoming a real kickboxing pro wrestler and told him they should wrestle each other in that restaurant again.

Mizuki Watase kept taunting Munetatsu Nakamura with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title belt which fired Nakamura up for to fight him. Watase taunted him again by screaming Nakamura will never win the belt like this. He put Nakamura in a Front Neck Lock with an Arm Lock added on but Nakamura wouldn’t give up. His tag partner Toru Sugiura threw in a towel from ringside to forfeit the match. Nakamura complained about it but Sugiura explained afterward, asking him what if he broke his arm? If it was a title match he’d understand losing one or two arms behind but it’s not worth doing it for this match. Watase understood Sugiura’s point and told both of them to bring this same feeling with them for the title bout next month. Sugiura & Nakamura promised that when they win the SOG Tag Titles they will be all over Shukan Puroresu and Wrestle Universe!

All of the Ganbare☆Joshi division gathered together for Yoshiko Hasegawa’s final match in GanPro before she retires from pro wrestling. Riara returned to GanPro for the occasion and even HARUKAZE showed up to be the ring announcer. Hasegawa got to start off the match with Moeka Haruhi. Then YuuRI & Riara helped beat down Yuna Manase so Hasegawa could put her in the Muffler Hold but Banny Oikawa cut her off. Manase was able to get the pin on Hasegawa by giving her the Suzuki Dynamic, a move she hasn’t used for a while in GanPro. After the match Manase said she was so nervous about today that she forgot her wrestling boots and had to borrow Ken Ohka’s boots for the match. She told Hasegawa she will always be a part of GanJo as long as she keeps trying. So if she doesn’t feel like trying anymore she will always be allowed to come back and wrestle matches to find her strength again. Hasegawa then surprised Manase with a roll up and everyone else did a three count so they could all call Hasegawa the winner.

Ken Ohka has been inspired recently by Masaaki Mochizuki challenging for the Open The Dream Gate Title at the age of 55 years old. He wants to put the message out there that he would like to team with Mochizuki for a match on 19th July.

In his post-show comments, Imanari brought up that today has been a busy day for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He and Maeguchi fought each other in GanPro, Kota Ibushi returned to AEW and shootboxer Yukimitsu Takahashi won his fight today. So in Imanari’s mind today was like a birthday for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute.

GANBARE☆PRO “SUICIDE SQUAD 2025” Results

May 6, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SUICIDE SQUAD 2025”, 05/05/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shota Kawakami 1st Anniversary Match: Shota defeated Shota Kawakami with the Frog Splash (10:10).
2. YuuRI, Nanami & Kirari Wakana defeated Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa when YuuRI pinned Oikawa with the Swanton Bomb (9:50).
3. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yuki Kanzaki, Munetatsu Nakamura & Daisuke®️ when Tominaga pinned Daisuke®️ with Wine Hamon Overdrive (13:36).
4. HARUKAZE’s Last Match Before Her Hiatus: Ken Ohka defeated HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear (13:17).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson defeated Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre when Katsumura pinned Libre with the KKB (15:23).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yasu Urano & PSYCHO when Watase pinned Urano with the Running Elbow Butt (19:25).
*V4 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.

After the main event Mizuki Watase brought up that he and Yasu Urano once fought each other for the King Of Dark Title, a championship that DDT awarded to the loser and banished them to the pre-show until they won a match. He noted that match was 16 minutes long and lasted longer than the main event of the same show that day. He also said after today’s show he is now certain who the main character of Ganbare☆Pro is and that’s everybody in the GanPro universe! As for the next challengers for Watase & Shigehiro Irie, they welcome anyone to come face them for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. They want to defend the titles at every GanPro show.

The semi-main event sparked a fire between GanPro and FREEDOMS when Takashi Sasaki interfered in the match to help Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre. The GanPro wrestlers acting as seconds at ringside ran him off allowing Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson to win one for the home team. Sasaki swore revenge afterwards and said he will fight GanPro any time.

Sadly for HARUKAZE she is leaving pro wrestling for now without ever winning a match at an independent GanPro show. She was persistent in trying to get Ken Ohka to tap out to an Arm Bar before switching gears to using roll up pins. Ohka couldn’t be beaten though and he pinned HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear. HARUKAZE asked everyone to make GanPro bigger so when she does come back she can win her first match there in front of a larger audience! Ohka said he believes she will be successful in life away from pro wrestling and when she does return they will wrestle together again.

Once the show was completed Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & YuuRI held a Ganbare☆Rally at ringside to promote the “YOUNG GANBARE SUMMIT” show happening on 10th May. Nakamura will be facing Mochizuki Jr. from Dragongate on the show and promised to beat him with a German Suplex. Kawakami called his opponents Kazumasa Yoshida & Ali Najima two big opponents so he and Shota Kofuji will show them a giant killing! YuuRI will be in a 6-Woman Tag Match and said no matter who she teams up with or fights against she will do her best in her own way.

Yoshiko Hasegawa will get to wrestle in GanPro one last time before her retirement. She will team with YuuRI & Riara to take on Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Banny Oikawa on 22nd June.

April 11, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Lariat (20:32).
*V4 for Yumehito Imanari.

After 16 months away from pro wrestling’s sacred venue, Ganbare☆Pro finally returned to Korakuen Hall today for the first time since becoming an independent company away from CyberFight. When the dust settled in the main event, Yumehito Imanari remained as the man to continue leading GanPro as its champion. His match against Shinichiro Tominaga came down to Power Bombs and Lariats with neither wanting to stay down for the count. Imanari’s Lariat turned out to be the stronger one and he was able to put Tominaga away to keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. Imanari told Tominaga it’s been 15 years since they were struggling amateur pro wrestlers trying to make a documentary together and it is a miracle that both of them just headlined a Korakuen show together. He wants to savor the afterglow of today before he thinks about who should challenge him next. Tominaga pointed out this was only his third match since returning from his torn Achilles tendon back in January and everyone’s hard work pushed him forward towards giving 120% today.

Yuji Nagata was feeling pumped up to wrestle on the show. One of his opponents Shuichiro Katsumata was looking to get revenge on him for losing an MMA fight to his brother Katsuhiko Nagata way back in 2006. But he had to deal with Tatsuhito Takaiwa too and even with Keisuke Ishii’s help couldn’t take it. Takaiwa gave Katsumura the Death Valley Bomb, Nagata hit him with a Knee Strike and then got the win with the Back Drop Hold. Nagata then offered to shake Ishii’s hand after the match but Ishii slapped it away. Nagata told reporters he remembers the MMA fight his brother had with Katsumura but he never knew Katsumura became a pro wrestler until his first time working with GanPro last year. He also remembered it’s been over 20 years since he last teamed up with Takaiwa. He has fond memories of them going out drinking and Takaiwa laughing at Nagata’s belly getting bloated from drinking so much. After three decades of wrestling he wants to experience more kinds of pro wrestling which is why he’s been taking more bookings outside of New Japan lately.

Bad memories of Ken Ohka’s days training under the Toryumon banner swirled through his head when he fought Masaaki Mochizuki. Unfortunately Mochizuki cannot say the same because he didn’t even know Ohka was there back then. But he knows Ohka has been involved with wrestling for around 25 years now so he should forget about that past and focus on what he is representing in the present. Ohka’s not the only one who is getting old so Mochizuki wants to know if he wants to continue fighting him? Ohka gave him a slap in response. Mochizuki then said he’s not the kind of person who hits people back when provoked but if the GanPro fans enjoyed today’s match then maybe they can do it again in front of a younger audience at Dragongate.

There was a reunion of Stardom’s 5th Generation when Yuna Manase invited Koguma & Hazuki over to face a trio representing the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She also remembered her “little sister” Ami Manase was back in GanPro after a long absence. FWC did their thing to keep YuuRI & Moeka Haruhi at bay while Yuna pinned her masked “sister” with a Lariat. Manase thanked FWC and Stardom’s president for letting the two of them come to wrestle in GanPro today even when Stardom had a show of their own happening in Aichi. Hazuki was happy to team up with Manase but Koguma said next time she would like FWC to wrestle against her. Manase likes the idea and thinks a tag match like that would do YuuRI some good too. She’ll think about it because maybe it can be something that can be done for GanJo in the future.

It doesn’t seem like anyone could come back from a ruptures Achilles tendon injury in just four months but Mizuki Watase did just that. He didn’t want to take it easy just because his first match back was an 8-Man Tag either. He got the win by pinning Shota Kawakami with the Modified TTD and was then welcomed back by Shigehiro Irie. The two of them are still the reigning Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions so they want to start defending them again soon. Watase said he wants to defend the titles at four times the normal speed to make up for lost time. Yasu Urano & PSYCHO overheard their comments and asked if Watase is really at 100%. Watase said his injury is totally fine but he is feeling pain from his muscles cramping up. Urano then challenged him for the SOG Tag Titles and wants the match to happen as soon as possible. They’ll have to wait a while but the two teams agreed to have the title match on 5th May.

The fighting between Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura and the Hentai Punch Drunkers got so heated that it kept going once the match had finished. Nakamura tried to give Hikaru Sato the German Suplex but Tyson Maeguchi cut him off with an Enzuigiri and Sato stretched him out with the Arm Bar for the win. But even though the music played, the two sides kept fighting.

HARUZAKE still has not won a match by herself ever since GanPro went independent. With only a few matches left until she takes a break from pro wrestling she has come up with a drastic decision for her final match. There is only one person in the world she thinks she can beat now and that’s Ken Ohka! They will have a singles match against each other on 5th May.

The next time GanPro is in Korakuen Hall will be on 26th August. The main event will be Mizuki Watase’s 10th anniversary match. He will face Jun Kasai in a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match!

GANBARE☆PRO “MOV MARKET” Results

February 22, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING IN SHIBUYA HIKARIE – MOV MARKET”, 22/02/2025
Tokyo Shibuya Hikarie Creative Lounge MOV
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Mat Wrestling Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with the Flame Spear (14:27).

The match was slightly changed because Keisuke Ishii fell sick and couldn’t appear. Ken Ohka who was meant to be the special referee instead took Ishii’s place in the Falls Count Anywhere Match. Shota Kawakami ended up taking signature moves from everybody including the Ganbare☆Pro wrestlers who were not part of the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

There was also a press conference where Yumehito Imanari and Michiyoshi Mishima announced who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title will be. Imanari revealed he nominated Fuminori Abe to get the shot on 16th March. One of Imanari’s goals as champion is to fight the wrestlers he lost to on his journey to winning the SOG Title. He remembers facing Abe for the ZERO1 World Junior Heavyweight Title & ZERO1 International Junior Heavyweight Title back in 2021 and losing to him. It was a very important match for him because the original plan was for Abe to face Shinjiro Otani in the main event of a Korakuen Hall show but Otani got injured and Imanari was chosen to be his replacement. He never forgotten what Abe told him that day and he will always be a fan of him. So now he gets to make a wish come true by putting together this rematch. Abe said at the time of the match he felt great pity towards Imanari for the position he was suddenly put in but as the match went on, Abe experienced emotions he had never felt before. After he won he felt a sense of pride for giving Imanari the opportunity. He would have liked to do the rematch in Korakuen but after giving the idea some thought, he instead asked for it to take place at Takashimadaira Kumin Center because it is a truly independent venue. He also made sure to keep 11th April free in his schedule because he is confident he will win the championship and have his first defence at GanPro’s Korakuen Hall show that day.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ken Ohka Vs X
2. Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi, YuuRI & Ami Manase Vs Yuna Manase, Hazuki & Koguma
3. Special Tag Team Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata & Tatsuhito Takaiwa

A few matches for the 11th April Korakuen show were also announced at the event. Shuichiro Katsumura revealed he will be teaming with Ishii on the show to take on New Japan legends Yuji Nagata and Tatsuhito Takaiwa! Ishii sent in a message explaining that GanPro wanted him to team with Nagata on the show but he thought it would be better for them to be on opposing teams. The story of the match in Ishii’s mind will be him getting to beat the people he looked up to as a boy. Katsumura said he also has an attachment to those two wrestlers. In 2006 he lost to Yuji’s brother Katsuhiko Nagata at the end of year K-1 “DYNAMITE!!” show and remembers Yuji saluting the fans in the ring after the fight. So he would love it if Yuji brought Katsuhiko along to be at ringside for the show. Katsumura also joked about being a New Japan kid teaming with Ishii who is an All Japan kid.

A 6-Woman Tag Match was also announced pitting Ganbare☆Joshi against a special trio of wrestlers reuniting together. Yuna Manase is bringing in Hazuki & Koguma from Stardom to team with her! The three of them are all from the same fifth generation of Stardom wrestlers but their careers split off in different directions. Manase was able to re-establish contact with them at an Ice Ribbon show last year and hatched a plan for her to team up with FWC for the first time ever. She also had reasons for choosing the wrestlers on the GanJo team. YuuRI is around the same age as Hazuki & Koguma so Manase wants to see them face off. Moeka Haruhi recently celebrated her 20th Anniversary and Manase wanted to be her opponent for the Anniversary match. Last but not least, Ami Manase is still Yuna’s younger sister and only just recently started training for wrestling again after being away for over a year.

Ohka claims that GanPro’s zodiac cycle has come full circle because he was born in the Year Of The Snake and GanPro’s first Korakuen show since going independent is also happening during the Year Of The Snake. He feels like this is fake and predicts he is going to be involved in a big singles match on the show. Something that will be on par with his match against Jushin Liger from Union Pro in 2009.

Even though Haruhi lost the match, Nakamori spoke glowingly about her afterward. She heard Haruhi credited her for becoming a stronger wrestler but the truth is it’s quite the opposite. Nakamori promised she will continue to look up to Haruhi as a rival because that’s the kind of friend she wants to be. Haruhi thanked everyone for coming to the show when there are so many other options nearby for them to spend their time today. She also thanked the referee Tommy for doing so much to help her throughout her entire wrestling career. Haruhi will always do what she wants for herself but whenever she does something for someone else she will work 100 times harder. For that reason she wants to be the kind of person who makes everybody want to work hard together.

The first three matches have been changed around due to the absences of Iino and Ishida.

DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~”, 23/02/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs To-y, Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daichi Sato

6. “Brave Bang Bravern!” Collaboration 6-Man Tag Match ~ Bravern Debut Match: Bravern, Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Yukio Naya, Akito & Soma Takao
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Kuishinbo Kamen
2. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The Union MAX Title reign is off to a good start for Masato Kamino but is he becoming to smug about it? He has really become proud of his muscular body as of late. However Ryota Nakatsu thinks that Kamino loves himself so much it’s starting to overshadow BASARA and the MAX Title.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 20: LIFE IS PEACHY”, 04/03/2025

3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

No need to worry about 121000000 being banned from Japan. They successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles in Chile and will have no trouble travelling home where Kyoraku Kyomei will be waiting for them.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2025 ~28TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 20/03/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs X

Title Matches Added To DDT Korakuen, GanJo X Kitsune, Grand Princess Main Event

January 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~HIEN~”, 21/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Inaugural Rumble: Isami Kodaka Vs Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs FUMA Vs KUBITO Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato Vs SAGAT Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano & Banana Senga
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Masato Kamino Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi

There are two strong opponents who Masato Kamino lost to in singles matches last year that he wants to fight again. They are Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi. Kamino wants to settle the score in one match so he asked BASARA to bring them back together as a tag team for him to fight. Kamino also decided he won’t team with Takato Nakano because they will soon fight each other for the Union MAX Title. Instead, Ryota Nakatsu will be Kamino’s partner for this match.

It’s Royal Rumble season so add BASARA to the growing list of companies that are doing their own version of the match this year.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 19: INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION”, 21/01/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Tag Team Match: MAO & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Mr. Bueno & Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Special Single Match: Ram Kaichow Vs Chris Brookes

Trust Baka Gaijin + Friends to still come up with first time matchups with a limited size roster. Chris Brookes and Ram Kaichow have fought each other plenty of times before in multi-person matches. This will be their first one on one matchup together.

DDT “NEW YEAR, NEW HERO. 2025 ~A NEW STORY BEGINS~”, 26/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. DDT Universal Title: Gringo Loco (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

According to both DDT and Gringo Loco he has defended the DDT Universal Title twice in North America. One was in Canada for Demand Lucha and I cannot for the life of me find where or when the second one took place. For his third defence he is nominating Yuki Ueno because he stands out the most to Loco. It will be Loco’s first time defending the title in Japan.

Danshoku Dieno made the decision to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Gorgeous Matsuno because he does not know if they will ever get another chance to do the match. Matsuno is still known to the public for a public divorce he went through in the 1990s where he was accused by his wife at the time of abuse. The divorce was finalised but it was also ruled by the court that there was no evidence to support the accusation. Dieno only knows Matsuno through his wrestling career and feels the need to have a heart to heart match while he still holds the Extreme Title. Dieno also wants a contract signed that says no one will be responsible for anything that happens in the ring during the match.

GANBARE☆JOSHI/KITSUNE “GANJO X KITSUNE”, 28/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI & Ayame Sasamura Vs Kohaku & Nanami

3. Moeka Haruhi Vs Arisa Shinose
4. Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & Chanyota Vs Keisuke Ishii & Echika Miyabi
5. Kitsune World Title: MICHIKO (c) Vs Yuna Manase

It’s the return of the Ganbare☆Joshi branded shows for the first time since Ganbare☆Pro went independent. It is a co-branded show with Kitsune and will feature wrestlers from several different joshi promotions like WAVE, DIANA, Ice Ribbon, PURE-J and Prominence. There are also joshi wrestlers from the mixed companies like GLEAT, P.P.P. TOKYO, 2AW and Asuka Pro. In the main event Yuna Manase gets her rematch with MICHIKO with the Kitsune World Title once again on the line.

HARUKAZE will not be wrestling at the show because of her busy schedule. However she will try to get there by rushing to the venue as soon as her other scheduled event is over.

“SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMERATION EVENT ~ NEVER SAY NEVER”, 03/02/2025
Shinjuku FACE

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~”, 10/02/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takato Nakano

The MAX Title is up for grabs between the two members of Aijin Tag. Kamino has so far purposely avoided teaming with Nakano in the lead up to this match.

GANBARE☆PRO “LADY BIRD 2025 ~ MOEKA HARUHI 20TH ANNIVERSARY DEBUT”, 11/02/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

For the 20th Anniversary of Moeka Haruhi’s debut match she will be facing Hanako Nakamori from PURE-J.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

It must be fate. “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” is taking place on Mizuki’s birthday and she will be defending the Princess Of Princess Title against a person who has adored her since probably the first day they met. Rika Tatsumi was the last woman standing in the Battle Royal to win this shot so she could finally make this fantasy come true.

Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag Titles Vacated

November 21, 2024

DDT have announced that Shunma Katsumata’s left knee injury was diagnosed as a torn ACL. He will be out of action for a while which means ShunMao have today relinquished the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted to believe his injury was only minor and he would have been able to defend the titles with MAO this weekend because he feels fine. However his doctor says otherwise and he has to take time off to recover. He apologized to Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku for getting the title match cancelled. Since his most recent match was against Endo, Katsumata would like to face him in a rematch when he returns. The news is even more frustrating because this is the second time in a row where ShunMao’s tag title reign is ending early because Katsumata got injured. They had to vacate the titles in Spring 2023 when Katsumata broke his foot.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Demus & Ilusion Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada

With the KO-D Tag Titles match called off, this weekend’s Korakuen Hall show has a few changes to the card. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match is now moved up to the main event. Yuki Ueno & To-y are taken out of their matches so The 37KAMIINA can team up for a 6-Man Tag against BURNING. Ueno is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion after he in full gear attacked Kazuki Hirata outdoors during a cold snowy night this week. That also means Hirata now only has to fight against 6 wrestlers instead of 7 for his birthday match. Munetatsu Nakamura is brought in to take To-y’s place in the opener.

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT”, 24/11/2024
Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena (Fukushima National Athletic Meet Memorial Gymnasium) Sub-Arena

This will be Bueno’s official debut in DDT (he appeared on one of the recent outdoor shows to interfere in Schadenfreude’s match). DAMNATION T.A will consist of Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul, Demus and Ilusion. The match pairings will be decided on soon.

Daichi Sato will be on the show.

DDT/DEFY Full Card, Hirata Getting A Birthday Bashing, People Resurface For DNA Anniversary

November 7, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 261 ~SOUEN~”, 08/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Basara Jacket 4 Way Match: KUBITO Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga Vs Daisuke Sekimoto
3. SAGAT & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi
4. Daiki Shimomura Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
5. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida

The Basara Jacket world rankings has KUBITO at 12th, Gouma Ryu at 3rd and Banana Senga being no longer ranked. Daisuke Sekimoto is also unranked but that’s because he hasn’t done a match like this yet.

DDT/DEFY “DDT IN UTERO”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Marina Shafir Vs X
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Randy Myers
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas Vs Bryan Keith & Shota Vs Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson
4. Gringo Loco Vs Yuni
5. Nick Wayne Vs Jack Cartwheel

7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: MAO (c) Vs Mike Bailey Vs Miyu Yamashita

The card is now pretty much complete. Nick Wayne is getting a match against Jack Cartwheel while Marina Shafir is only being advertised as “in action”. So it’s possible she might show just up to beat the crap out of somebody and then leave.

Right now Yuni is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion so odds are good the title will be brought over to Seattle for the weekend.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Demus & Ilusion Vs To-y & Kazuma Sumi
2. Kazuki Hirata 37th Birthday Special 1 Vs 7 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Soma Takao, Yuki Iino, Diego & Yuki Ishida

7. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (E/c) Vs Yuni (I/c)

Speaking of the Iron Man Title, Yuni is expected to have it with him when he faces Danshoku Dieno for the DDT Extreme Title match, which means it should be a double championship match.

Kazuki Hirata will have turned 37 a few days before this show. DDT is celebrating it by making him fight seven wrestlers at the same time.

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT”, 24/11/2024
Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena (Fukushima National Athletic Meet Memorial Gymnasium) Sub-Arena

1. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Demus

Makoto Oishi and Moeka Haruhi will both be on the show.

DNA “DNA 10TH ANNIVERSARY”, 28/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Kota Umeda, Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Keigo Nakamura, To-y & Yuya Koroku
2. Banana Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daiki Shimomura & Check Shimatani
3. Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuki Ueno

The DNA reunion is shaping up. Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuki Ueno is put together because those two wrestlers were a vital part of what was considered DNA’s second chapter.

The reunion also sees the return of Gran MilliMeters teaming up against their own rivals Speed Of Sounds. Gran Millimeters were Daiki Shimomura & Nobuhiro Shimatani but these days Nobuhiro is going by the name Check Shimatani.

The post-DNA generation are part of the show to test themselves against DDT’s previous developmental project. Kota Umeda, Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki are representing DNA while Keigo Nakamura, To-y & Yuya Koroku represent D GENERATIONS.

Suguru Miyatake will be in attendance. His three year wrestling career was plagued with injuries and he eventually retired years after it was clear he wouldn’t be able to return to the ring.
