*V7 for Mizuki Watase.
After complaining about Ganbare☆Pro’s lack of telling stories with their recent match bookings, Yumehito Imanari failed to capitalize on his own big story today. On the day he turned 41 years old, Imanari thought it would be exciting if he could win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on his birthday. He couldn’t break through Mizuki Watase though with every Lariat and Elbow Strike only getting a two count on the champion. Watase then stopped Imanari in his tracks with a Dropkick, used the Venetian for a nearfall and finally put Imanari away with the Running Elbow. Imanari blamed his loss on Ken Ohka sending him a Happy Birthday email at 11:40 am when Imanari expected to receive it at midnight. He exclaimed that even Chikara Momota wished him a happy birthday before Ohka did! Imanari then called Watase a wild card and wrestling is in need of more wild cards. Watase told Imanari that GanPro cannot function without him because his pro wrestling is full of love.
Watase’s victory speech was soon interrupted by Shuichiro Katsumura and the two started talking about GanPro’s next Korakuen Hall show on 31st October. Katsumura said he never had a singles match with Watase so they should have one. Watase agreed but Katsumura then talked about wanting to become a double champion again. Watase likes the sound of that and wants a chance to become one too so he challenged Sussun Katsun for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Jun Kasai as his tag partner. Katsumura suggested they do the tag title match on 12th October but Watase turned it down because he wants both title matches to happen at Korakuen on the same show! Michiyoshi Mishima decided that both title matches will happen on 31st October but the SOG Tag Titles match will be the opener while the SOG World Title match is the main event. Suddenly Watase and Katsumura both started arguing with Mishima because the two of them want to do the title matches back to back! Mishima accepted the idea but only promised to do it if FREEDOMS agree to let Kasai do it. They did and the two matches are confirmed for Hallowe’en night. If that’s not enough title matches for Watase, he will soon be challenging for the King Of FREEDOM World Title and the Tenryu Project 6-Man Tag Team Titles too!
There were some changes to the Toyama Vs Naka Ward match. First, Shinichiro Tominaga had to pull out of the show due to family circumstances. Ken Ohka & Masashi Takeda talked to the audience at the start of the show asking if there was a wrestler from Toyama among them willing to fill in for Tominaga? They unexpectedly got an answer from Uta Shima, a joshi wrestler who often takes part in amateur pro wrestling clubs as an Asuka parody named ASHUKA. She accepted their offer to prevent the bout from becoming a Handicap Match. The other change was the match now took place under Elimination Rules which included getting thrown out of the ring Battle Royal style. Katsumura’s team won and Abdullah Kobayashi credited himself for the good result. Katsumura & Minoru Fujita both tend to disagree with that and tried to ignore Kobayashi’s requests to join the Naka Ward Assembly.
The result of the opener didn’t sit well with Non Toraga. She hit Moeka Haruhi with an Elbow Strike after the match, unhappy that she was pinned by Haruhi’s Cradle move when she had victory in her grasp.
It will still be a while before Yuna Manase returns to the ring from injury but she had kept herself busy. During her time away she held an audition to find disciples she can train into becoming pro wrestlers for the Ganbare☆Joshi division. Today she introduced everyone to her two trainees. En is a long time GanPro fan who wants to become the first woman in the “GanPro Universe” to become a GanJo wrestler. However she is not some starstruck fan doing this to become friends with the wrestlers. She intends to fight with everything she’s got and earn her support from the fans. Nono Nakajima is a pro mahjong player from Osaka. She wants to become a cheerful and energetic wrestler who embodies the passionate spirit of GanPro. The trainees will be learning from Manase, YuuRI and the rest of the GanJo division as they prepare for their debuts.
Muntatsu Nakamura was in attendance and gave everyone an update on his injury status. The surgery on his ACL was a success and he should be able to walk without crutches starting next week. He expects it will be Summer next year when he is fully fit to return to wrestling. Until then he is focusing on strengthening his body so he can come back strong0.
The show took an early intermission after the second match when a problem was found with the ring.
