GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WANNA BE A DREAMMAKER 2017”, 04/03/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
119 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Love Call Wrestling: Yukihiro Abe defeated Chikara with a Minoru Fujita Style Cradle (8:09).
2. Osaka Vs Hokkaido Ganbare☆Wrestling International Match: Sayaka Obihiro defeated Atsushi Maruyama with a Backslide Pin (12:42).
3. G-COSMOS 2017 in Prince Special Double Bout: Takafumi Ito & Nobuhiro Tsurumaki defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari when Tsurumaki submitted Imanari with the Back Facelock (13:25).
4. Flames, Heart, Repeatedly: Mitomi Masayuki defeated Shibata with the Salty Splash (8:42).
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling: Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Kenso Ohka & Osamu Namiguchi when Ohka pinned Namaguchi with the Spear Of Fire (16:17).

Alliances old and new were formed throughout today’s show because the World’s Strongest Ganbare☆Tag Tournament is taking place in April. Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling were defeated in the main event and Kenso Ohka placed the blame on Osamu Namiguchi. Kenso dropped a surprise and said he’ll be teaming with someone else in the tournament. He’ll be teaming with KAZMA SAKAMOTO! After Kenso left, Ken Ohka asked Shinichiro Tominaga to be enter the tournament with him. Tominaga politely declined because he already asked Hi69 to team with him. When the show was over Ohka went searching for a tag partner. Atsushi Maruyama agreed at first but then remembered he is already booked elsewhere. Both Takafumi Ito and Shuichiro Katsumura asked to team with Ohka but he couldn’t choose between them. So Ito and Katsumura decided to team together instead. Finally Ohka got a Facetime call from Ai Shimizu. She is currently in Toyama, Ohka’s hometown. Shimizu is training to become stronger and went to Toyama to learn Ohka’s secrets. To prove it she told Ohka she was on the call with his dad! When the call ended Ohka accepted that he wouldn’t find a tag partner today.

The atmosphere for Mitomi Masayuki Vs Shibata was tense as there was still some uneasiness in their friendship. Masayuki wanted to bury the hatchet but Shibata kept rejecting him. It wasn’t until the match ended that Shibata saw the light and agreed to reform Enjo-gun with Masayuki.

Yumehito Imanari was in a good mood because he just purchased a guide to Catch-As-Catch-Can wrestling written by Billy Robinson. Imanari studied the book and predicted he would win his match with the Double Arm Suplex. Whatever he studied didn’t stick because he had to flick through the book again before the bell rang. His attempts to do the Double Arm Suplex failed. Ito countered the move into a Manjigatame then Tsurumaki tapped him out with the Back Facelock. Ito and Katsumura got into a brawl after the match. Ito challenged Katsumura to a singles match then admitted he was getting bored with their current situation.

Sayaka Obihiro began her match with Maruyama by warning him that she’s been taking Shorinji Kempo lessons. He didn’t take her seriously. In fact, Marutama told Obuhiro he’s been studying her matches in preparation and listed all of her signature moves as proof. He challenged her to perform those moves and then pin him so he could kick out of them. He succeeded in kicking out of all of them but an unexpected collision ended with Obihiro falling on top of him and getting the three count. Afterwards Obihiro said she is from Hokkaido, Maruyama is from Osaka and Ohka is from Toyama. She now wants to wrestle opponents from all the other prefectures in Japan.

Ohka approached Yukihiro Abe after the opening match and asked him if he had a partner in mind for the Tag League. Suddenly Keisuke Ishii appeared and did a Double Dropkick with Abe to Ohka. Ishii thinks he himself is a good choice for Abe to team with. Ishii wants to enter a tag league because it reminds him of his favourite AJPW Real World Tag League match, Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama Vs Stan Hansen & Akira Taue from 1999. Now Ishii & Abe are thinking of a team name. They will either be Return Of Young Drama or Memory Of Young Drama.

Another team was formed during the show. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki wants to team with Chikara. The two fought each other before when Tsurumaki under the mask as Mars Spector. Chikara earned his respect during those matches.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #3” Results

February 18, 2017

saki-footchoke

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #3”, 18/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka-oneesan with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:56).
2. Yuu & Miyu Yamashita defeated Mil Clown & Rika Tatsumi when Yamashita pinned Tatsumi with the Attitude Adjustment (14:53).
3. “Back Bancho” Akane Miura Road To Graduation: Akane Miura defeated Maho Kurone with the Lariat (4:30).
4. SIN Biishiki-gun Vs Konkatsu-gun: Sakisama & Martha defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saki submitted Takigawa with a Foot Choke (15:34).

Sakisama is really no good at making friends in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Her snooty behavior made another enemy today. This time she called Azusa Takigawa a “White Pig”. Sakisama made things worse in the main event when she accidentally knocked out Daisuke Kiso with a missed Big Boot. Takigawa then pinned Sakisama but there was no referee. Rika Tatsumi climbed into the ring and slapped the mat three three times in Kiso’s place. The GM Tetsuya Koda refused to end the match. He told them that Kiso was the designated referee so the match must continue. Sakisama then trapped Takigawa in a Foot Choke and made her submit. Sakisama said she doesn’t understand the elegance of vulnerable people then left the ring with her maid Martha. Takigawa asked Tatsumi to help her battle SIN Biishiki-gun even though Tatsumi is not a part of Konkatsu-gun. On 12th March they will get their revenge!

Akane Miura doesn’t have a special relationship with Maho Kurone but she still thinks their match today will be a special memory for her. Before Miura graduates she wants to reunite Bust Deluxe with Nonoko one more time.

The soon to debut Yuna Manase appeared at intermission and introduced herself to the audience. She said it was her first time at a Tokyo Joshi show and she is impressed. The action is a lot faster and more fierce than it looks on video.

Hyper Misao was in attendance to give an update on her health. She had surgery to repair her ACL one month ago and is currently in rehabilitation. She is asking her fans to please be patient for her return.

Soma Takao is now a part of Smile Squash and this weekend is his first match as a member.

Nobuhiro Shimatani has one more chance to lose the King Of Dark Title before the DNA relaunch. Unfortunately he was defeated in his last two defences to Gota Ihashi. Will the third time be a charm?

Ganbare☆Wrestling held tryouts earlier this week to find new talent to add to its roster. The auditions involved workouts, interviews and skill demonstrations. At the end Ken Ohka asked all of the trainees to line up and slap him across the face. Some hesitated but everyone did what they were told. All nine people passed the auditions and were invited to train at Ganpuro with the goal of debuting for them in the future. The person who caught the most attention was a 21 year old woman wearing a hockey mask named Nanaka Kawamura. She wants to become a pro wrestler because it was her mother’s dream to be one. Her mother was high school champion but was too short to turn professional so Kawamura wants to fulfil that dream for her.

145 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Tatsuhiko Yoshino when FUMA pinned Yoshino with the Heavy Metal Anthem (10:54).

5. NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Ikuto Hidaka & Sean Guinness when Sekine submitted Guinness with the Let’s Combine (24:17).
*V1 for Cavalry.

Cavalry successfully fended off the outsider team of Ikuto Hidaka & Sean Guinness to keep the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Titles around their waists. Guinness tried to pin Ryuichi Sekine with a Hurricanrana but it was countered into the Let’s Combine, forcing Guinness to tap out. Ikuto Hidaka accepted defeat on this day but warned Sekine that the next time he is in BASARA he will leave as the winner. He reminded everyone that he and Dick Togo were the first NWA Light Tag Champions. So they will team up again to win back the titles! The Brothers Aldini then came down to the ring. They are the current No. 1 Contenders after beating Hiroshi du Soleil earlier in the show. Both they and the champions are now motivated even more knowing that the winners of their match next week have Hidaka and Togo waiting for them.

That wasn’t the end of it though. FUMA interrupted the closing speeches yelling “HELL! HELL! HELL AND HELL!” He confronted Sekine for their upcoming Union MAX Title match on 20th February. Sekine said he hadn’t forgotten about it. FUMA insulted Sekine’s shaved head, saying it is nothing like Anthrax member Scott Ian’s sophisticated skinned head. Sekine told FUMA that by the end of the month he will become a double champion, the King of Two Crowns!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #2”, 05/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Akane Miure defeated Maki Itoh with a Power Slam (5:34).
2. You Will Be In Time For Valentine’s Day! Encounter Just Before Valentine’s Day!: Miyu Yamashita & Mil Clown defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Clown pinned Takigawa with the Mil Clutch α (12:02).
3. Saki-sama & Martha defeated Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone when Saki pinned Tatsumi with a Jackknife Pin (11:00).
4. Reika Saiki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan when Saiki pinned Nodoka with a Back Drop (17:25).

Reika Saiki was on the winning side today but her chest was left heavily bruised by Yuu’s chops. Saiki fought back with Middle Kicks and it was a Buzzsaw Kick to Nodoka-oneesan that led to her winning the match. Saiki said she will use this momentum to fight Yuu at full power when they face off for the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title on 12th March. She has the muscle, energy, motivation and talent to win!

Sakisama is showing more disdain towards Rika Tatsumi. It didn’t help that at Tatsumi was on the verge of beating her with the Dragon Sleeper. Saki’s arm fell three times but on the third drop her maid Martha caught her hand from outside the ring and held it up. When Tatsumi complained to the referee Martha smashed her with an Elbow Strike and Saki rolled her over with a Jackknife for the three count. Saki told Tatsumi to quietly quit wrestling and go start an ordinary family in the countryside. Those words brought out Azusa Takigawa. She’s annoyed that Saki made the idea of getting married sound so easy. Saki took a good look at Takigawa’s face and then called her an orangutan. Takigawa demanded a match between Konkatsu-gun and SIN Biishiki-gun for the next show on 18th February.

Maki Itoh tried to take her loss to Akane Miura in her stride. She said that although Miura pinned her, she still has the cuter face so the match is a tie. She then called out the stars of Tofu Pro Wrestling again despite being warned not to by management. She is annoyed that they are following so many wrestlers on Twitter but are avoiding her. Her challenge to them for a match is still around.

A big main event is in store. Not just in physical size but in ego too. Naomi Yoshimura attended the match announcement wearing sunglasses and a fancy suit. He didn’t care about Akebono’s sumo accomplishments and ran down Kazusada Higuchi for losing to Mike Bailey and Ryota Nakatsu late last year. He threatened to blow away anyone who stands in his path. Higuchi was more polite. Being in the presence of Akebono is enough encouragement to withstand whatever Yuji Okabayashi throws at him. Akebono warned Yoshimura to respect him or be crushed.

Shota Nakagawa is from AZUSA Project and Andromeda KEN is from Pro Wrestling ACE. KEN is also a dropout from the WRESTLE-1 school. Ohka wants more people to sign up, preferably people who like B’z so they can go do karaoke during the audition.

F4W Online/Wrestling Oberver Online
Wrestling With Words
The Indy Corner

That saved me a bunch of time. Once I get to grips with the service I hope to write up some match recommendations. To any new readers, welcome! Things get weird and wonderful as I try to tell you all about what goes on in DDT and its spin offs.
