GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BEYOND THE NIGHT SKY 2016” Results

November 13, 2016

kenso-ohka-appears

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BEYOND THE NIGHT SKY 2016”, 12/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
142 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Real Tiger Mask Vs Rikidozan III: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Chikara with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (7:25).
2. Ganpuro Special Mixed Tag: American Balloon & Sayaka Obihiro defeated Kenta Hattori & Ai Shimizu when Obihiro pinned Shimizu with the Bath (10:09).
3. G-COSMOS 2016 in Prince: Takafumi Ito defeated Rionne Fujiwara with a Crooked Headscissors (10:30).
4. Double Main Event I: Shota & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Yukihiro Abe & Shinichiro Tominaga when Shota pinned Tominaga with a Kido Clutch (16:07).
5. Double Main Event II – Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling Raising An Army: Osamu Namiguchi & Kenso Ohka defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Ohka pinned Imanari with a Spear (12:24).

The show began with Osamu Namiguchi welcoming everyone to Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling. He said the theme of Shin Ganpuro is major pro wrestling and the main event would prove that. All of the regular Ganbare☆Wrestling matches happening before the main event were just toilet breaks as far as he was concerned. Ken Ohka stormed out and said he will show Namiguchi what the real Ganpuro is like in the main event.

Namiguchi had a big surprise in store for Ohka. The second member of Shin Ganpuro was revealed to be KENSO! However, KENSO came out to Ohka’s entrance music and wore matching gear. He is now Kenso Ohka! Not only did KENSO steal Ohka’s gimmick but he stole his finisher as well when he pinned Yumehito Imanari with the Spear. KENSO calls it a major Spear that is completely different from the fake one Ken Ohka does. Shuichiro Katsumura unexpectedly came out to confront Shin Ganpuro. He doesn’t see himself as a Ganpuro wrestler but he likes it here and won’t stand for this copycat coming in to ruin things. He invited Ken Ohka & Imanari to come train with him in his gym. Ohka said that Ganpuro stands for Ken Ohka, Ganpuro stands for Yumehito Imanari and Ganpuro stands for Shuichiro Katsumura. Together they will fight against Shin Ganpuro!

Kenta Hattori & Ai Shimizu both felt sorry for American Balloon’s sagging man boobs. Balloon’s man boobs came in handy when he used them to stop Shimizu from giving Sayaka Obihiro the Kamikaze. Obihiro then rolled Shimizu over for the win. Ohka was critical of Shimizu losing the match and encouraged her to try harder for her next match. Ohka said by the time Shimizu’s Ganpuro trial series is done she will become a worthy pro wrestler. Her next match in this series will be against Shota.

Ganpuro will run a special 15th Anniversary show for Ken Ohka at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 22nd December. Ohka has a certain opponent in mind that he is eager to wrestle against but cannot guarantee if he can even negotiate with him. Imanari wants to put together a special women’s match for the show. His original idea was Bambi & Manami Kanda Vs Viper and somebody else. However it seems that Viper is unavailable on that date. Ohka promised Imanari that he will find two beautiful wrestlers to take on Bambi & Kanda.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.5” Results

November 13, 2016

yuu-challengers

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.5”, 12/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
132 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Cobra Clutch (8:41).
2. Konsho-gun Full Scale Start Up! Love Kick Off!: Reika Saiki & Hyper Misao defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saiki pinned Takigawa with a Brainbuster (8:33).
3. Mil Clown defeated Maho Kurone with the Mil Clutch α (8:04).
4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima defeated Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inside Cradle (13:17).

Simply getting the winning pinfall in the main event isn’t enough for Shoko Nakajima. She’s noticed that something has been missing from her career and that is a rival. A rival would give her the extra push needed to become the best so she challenged Yuu to a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title match. However Akane Miura stepped in and said she knows she can beat Yuu and she wants to prove it at Korakuen Hall! Then Miyu Yamashita entered the conversation claiming to want the belt the most out of anyone. It was decided that a 3 Way Match between Nakajima, Miura and Yamashita will take place on 20th November to determine who faces Yuu for the title at Korakuen on 4th January.

Azusa Takigawa is hard at work looking for a fiance. She wants to get on Samurai! TV and Shukan Puroresu magazine to spread the message. Nonoko’s plan to help is to film a promotional DVD of Takigawa relaxing in a hot spring and then sell it on Amazon.

Maki Itoh Vs Reika Saiki is booked for the 4th Janaury show. Also announced to appear are Candice LeRae and Laura James.

The dark match may stay the same even if Nobuhiro Shimatani “loses” the King Of Dark Title before the show takes place.

8. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Shigehiro Irie

DDT has a long event of wrestling and concerts planned tomorrow. For months they have been signing musical acts to perform at this show. They will perform their sets in between the matches and some of the acts will even get involved in the matches themselves.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.5”, 12/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Mil Clown Vs Maho Kurone
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Nodoka-oneesan
3. Konsho-gun Full Scale Start Up! Love Kick Off!: Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko Vs Reika Saiki & Hyper Misao
4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima Vs Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi

Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko have formed Konsho-gun, or the Marriage Wins Army. Takigawa is campaigning against Tokyo Joshi Pro’s rule against relationships for the main roster. She wants to find a boyfriend and get married, not for love but because she thinks it will make her a stronger wrestler.

DDT “DNA 27”, 16/11/2016
Hanayashiki Park Hall

1. Guanchulo Vs Yuki Ueno
2. Average Height 163cm Minimum Load: Daiki Shimomura & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Hercules Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi
3. MAO Vs Shiori Asahi
4. Dai Suzuki Comeback: Dai Suzuki Vs Konosuke Takeshita
5. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
6. Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

There are a few things left over from the DNA Grand Prix to sort out. Ryota Nakatsu’s return had him rub most of the roster the wrong way. Both Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase want to defend DNA’s honour against him. Nakatsu has Ryuichi Sekine for back up though.

Shunma Katsumata couldn’t compete in the Grand Prix due to injury. He most of all wanted to win his group and face Kazusada Higuchi in the final. The circumstances now are different but can he finally beat his rival or will Higuchi travel to New York as the victor?

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2016”, 23/11/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Mike Bailey
2. Special Single Match: Yoshihiro Takayama Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
3. Special Tag Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Tetsuya Endo Vs HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita
4. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Saki Akai

Three new matches give us some tantalising previews for “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2016”. HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita join forces against DAMNATION, Mike Bailey goes up against the group’s leader and Yukio Sakaguchi attempts to tear down the mountain that is Yoshihiro Takayama.

DDT “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2016 ~IT’S NANIWABUSHI WRESTLING~”, 04/12/2016
Osaka Edion Arena #1

1. Yuni Debut Match: Yuni Vs X
2. Special Tag Match: Masakatsu Funaki & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yoshihiro Takayama & Kazusada Higuchi
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Takeshita wants revenge on Endo for leaving him and joining DAMNATION. Bailey wants to avenge his defeat to DAMNATION from “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016”. What I’m trying to say is the Happy Motels wrestlers don’t like DAMNATION.

Sasadango Ill, Kawamura Injured, Shin Ganbare Created

October 26, 2016

My best wishes go out to Super Sasadango Machine for a healthy recovery. He was taken off last Sunday’s Korakuen Hall show with poor health as the reason. A few days later DDT announced that a check up in a hospital found out he is suffering from a mild heart disease. His physician said rest is necessary and he will not be able to wrestle again until further notice. Some of the card changes as the result of this can be seen below.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BEYOND THE NIGHT SKY 2016”, 12/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling Raising An Army: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi & X

The folks at Ganbare☆Wrestling had some time to relax after their successful Korakuen Hall debut but now a familiar threat has returned in new clothing. Osamu Namiguchi suddenly announced this week he is creating his own pro wrestling group called Shin Ganbare☆Wrestling (シン・ガンバレ☆プロレス)! The use of Shin (シン) in this name does not mean “new”, it means “thin” as in “Thin Godzilla” from the new kaiju movie. Namiguchi thinks Ganpuro is fake like Hollywood’s Godzilla but Shin Ganpuro will be pure just like “Thin Godzilla”. Shin Ganpuro’s debut will take place on 12th November in Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR at the same time as the normal Ganpuro’s scheduled show. It will only consist of one match and Namiguchi challenged Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari to a tag team match. Namiguchi has a mystery partner for the occasion. Ohka accepted and the match will also technically be the main event of the normal Ganpuro show.

Sasadango’s absence has changed a few matches on the Taiwan show. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi takes his place in the Sleep Prevention Death Match. That has the knock on effect of reshuffling other parts of the undercard.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS… 2016” Results

August 1, 2016

ohka-beats-fujita

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS… 2016”, 30/07/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
165 Fans – Super No Vacancy Fulle House

1. USA! USA! USA!: Shota defeated American Balloon with a Sunset Flip (6:40).
2. Stop It A Veteran Of The Mystery!: Mars Spector defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura when Spector submitted Masayuki with an Achiiles Tendon Hold and Kawamura with a Guillotine Choke at the same time (6:28).
3. Transformation And Goddesses, Encounter Gatomubu!: Yukihiro Abe & Sayaka Obihiro defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ai Shimizu when Abe pinned Tominaga with the Abe☆Jienotsu☆Clutch (12:17).
4. Wrestling & Martial Arts DX: Takafumi Ito & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Chikara & Yumehito Imanari when Katsumura submitted Imanari with the Ninja Choke (15:59).
5. Is He A True Friend?: Ken Ohka defeated Minoru Fujita with the Spear Of Flame (21:34).

The grudge between Ken Ohka and Minoru Fujita in Ganbare☆Wrestling has been surrounding them for over a year. Alliances, betrayals and a lot of spilt blood had come between the two. When Tomodachi-gun collapses Fujita claimed he turned over a new leaf. Again. He and Ohka faced off one more time to settle their issues and neither of them held back. Fujita was busted open early on when Ohka hit him with a chair during a ringside brawl. Fujita retaliated by targeting Ohka’s foot and bashing it against the ring post. He countered the Spear Of Flame into a Cradle for a nearfall but Ohka hit the move on his second attempt. Fujita locked in a Triangle Choke but Ohka reached the ropes and then hit a Dragon Suplex. Ohka hit the Spear Of Flame again and that got him the three count.

Despite all the bad blood between the two, Ohka just wanted Fujita to be his friend again. Fujita said his plan to take over Ganpuro took the over a year to execute and all came down to this match. And it ended in failure. Fujita admitted defeat and admitted he lost to the pro wrestler, Ken Ohka. Fujita was about to leave until he remembered something. Both Hi69 and Madoka left him high and dry last month. He knows they are still enemies of Ganpuro. Ohka offered Fujita to continue wrestling in Ganpuro and this time he can do it as his friend. Ohka also wants Fujita to wrestle at Ganpuro’s Korakuen Hall debut in October. Fujita gave a wry smile and walked away. He then stopped himself and accepted the offer. He was going to go there as the “ace” anyway.

Takafumi Ito & Shuichiro Katsumura didn’t get along during their tag match with Power Of Dreams. When one was in the ring wrestling the other would yell instructions and criticisms at the wrestling holds. Katsumura got the submission win but when he tried to shake Ito’s hand after the match, Ito grabbed his arm and put him in an Armlock.

Yukihiro Abe is back in Ganpuro’s good graces after he left Tomodachi-gun. Although he lost to Fujita last week he was back to winning ways here with Sayaka Obihiro. Ohka watched them team together and afterwards told Obihiro she passed the test to prove she is a suitable replacement in Ganpuro for Emi Sakura. In Ohka’s eyes Obihiro and Sakura are equals. Obihiro then told Ohka that Sakura will indeed come to Ganpuro soon. If this place is good enough for Obihiro then it’s good enough for Sakura too.

Iron Man Update, MC.33 Coming To BASARA, Ganbare Prepares For Korakuen

July 13, 2016

Time for an update on the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s tour of America. When we last left the belt it was being held by Ricochet, you know the guy from that gif? No, not the English fella the other one. Yeah him. Since then the title lineage went like this: Brian Metz, Matt Striker, Cheerleader Melissa (by massage), Matt Cross (via too much food), Brian Cage, Joey Ryan, Laura James (as burlesque luchadora Alacrana Plata #2), Buggy Nova (in a proper wrestling match!), Ryan again (not in a proper wrestling match), Scarlett Bordeaux, Rhyno (traded an autograph for the title) and now Robbie E (his win counts as a Ladder Match). Last one is interesting because it’s a TNA guy beating someone who just appeared on an NXT broadcast. So yeah, this championship of all things is now providing the inter-promotional competition some fans have craved for years.

5. Ganpuro Hardcore Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Ai Shimizu Vs Yumehito Imanari & Bambi

Ken Ohka is continuing his hard work to make Ganbare☆Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall debut a success. Ideas include different seating layouts including a reserved seat placed inside the ring for the entire show. Ohka was told this was done recently by Kuishinbo Kamen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING but he is not deterred by that. Ohka has hundreds of ideas like having chairs placed in the arena balconies. He thinks they can fill thousands more people that way.

It seems that Yumehito Imanari and Bambi have sorted out their problems and are willing to team together. Imanari is thrilled by this news. This Hardcore match is put together to show Osaka what Ganpuro is all about. Each wrestler will have a weapon with them for the match. Bambi has her whip and Imanari is bringing a lot of candy.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS… 2016”, 30/07/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. USA! USA! USA!: Shota Vs American Balloon
2. Transformation And Goddesses, Encounter Gatomubu!: Shinichiro Tominaga & Ai Shimizu Vs Sayaka Obihiro & X
3. Stop It A Veteran Of The Mystery!: Mars Spector Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura
4. Wrestling & Martial Arts DX: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Takafumi Ito & Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Is He A True Friend?: Ken Ohka Vs Minoru Fujita

Ohka stormed a Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya earlier this week requesting Emi Sakura to wrestle for Ganpuro in August. Sakura was offended by Ohka’s attitude and turned down the offer. However Sayaka Obihiro took up the offer instead. Ohka wants to make sure Obihiro will be a good enough replacement by putting her in a tryout match at the end of the month.

Mitomi Masayuki is becoming obsessed over Mars Spector. He wants to avenge Shibata’s loss to Spector and is determined to fight him again and again and again until he wins. His stablemate Rainbow Kawamura offered to help. An enemy of Enjo-gun is his enemy too.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “AUTOMATIC 2016” Results

May 15, 2016

ohka-kai

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “AUTOMATIC 2016”, 14/05/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. ’16 Fighting Satellite☆Battle Prince: Shibata & Eddie French defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari when Shibata submitted Imanari with the Front Sleeper (12:16).
2. Men’s Street!: American Balloon defeated Chikara and Rainbow Kawamura when Balloon pinned Kawamura with the Balloon Sault (6:47).
3. Mars Spector Invasion!: Mars Spector defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Cross Armbreaker (5:41).
4. Revenge Of The “K”: Hi69 defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Michinoku Driver II (16:13).
5. WRESTLE-1 Champion Appears In Ganpuro! ~Circle Of Friends Grows~: Ken Ohka, KAI & Shota defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Ohka pinned Abe with the Spear Of Flame (17:50).

Thanks to Shota’s connections with WRESTLE-1, Ganbare☆Wrestling welcomed KAI into their home. KAI and Ken Ohka had met before but never been in the same match together. KAI got into it and even changed his entrance music to “BAD COMMUNICATION”. During the main event Ohka still tried to snap Yukihiro Abe out of Minoru Fujita’s brainwashing. KAI emulated Ohka’s Spear Of Flame but missed Abe and hit Ohka by mistake! He made up for it by stopping the pin count and taking out Fujita & Madoka with a Double Lariat. Ohka hit his own Spear Of Flame on Abe for the win.

Ohka thanked KAI for helping him win but Fujita interrupted their celebrations. Fujita made an Elimination Match between Ganpuro and Rubbish Heap☆Wrestling for 16th June. Fujita picked Madoka, Abe, Hi69 and Bambi as his partners. Ohka said he would face all five of them alone but his friends convinced him to let them join his team. Yumehito Imanari and Shinichiro Tominaga are his first picks. Shota also decided to affiliate himself with Ganpuro and joined the team. Ohka thought over his final pick and then it hit him. KAI! He can get KAI to join him! KAI agreed but was then interrupted by Ai Shimizu. She came to the ring cosplaying as Ohka, wearing a Ganpuro shirt and a headband with Ganpuro☆Love written on it. She appealed to join the team. Ohka was touched by her desire and decided to add Shimizu instead of KAI. KAI had no hard feelings over the decision. He admitted WRESTLE-1 wouldn’t have allowed him to compete in the match anyway.

Shinichiro Tominaga and Hi69 argued about K-DOJO during their match. Tominaga insulted Hi69 by saying he is beneath Ryuichi Sekine. When Hi69 won the match he said Tominaga is beneath him. But he also said Tominaga is becoming a good wrestler. Not a strong wrestler, but a good one.

The debuting Mars Spector had a dominant debut against Mitomi Masayuki. Wearing a mask and costume that reminded some people of Super Uchu Power, Spector attacked Masayuki with kicks and didn’t seem badly effected by Masayuki’s moves. A Soccer Ball Kick and Cross Armbreaker won the match for Spector. A worried Shibata yelled for ice while he checked on Masayuki afterwards.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.4” Results

May 14, 2016

sakazaki-magical-splash

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.4”, 14/05/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
120 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuu defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Cross Armbreaker (6:27).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated KANNA and Marika Kobashi when Nakajima pinned Kobashi with a Leg Roll Clutch (5:32).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Nonoko with a Rope Assisted School Boy (4:08).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Akane Miure defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka-oneesan when Sakazaki pinned Nodoka with the Magical Girl Splash (10:58).

Rika Tatsumi fractured a fibula in her left foot and was unable to wrestle. Akane Miura took her place in the main event. Miura was able to hold Miyu Yamashita away from the ring while Yuka Sakazaki pinned Nodoka-oneesan with the Magical Girl Splash. Sakazaki is very happy with her recent winning streak. She said she had fun during this match but will have even more fun when she wins the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title from Yamashita on 28th May.

Hyper Misao is now entering a new chapter of her life. With Snake World taken care of and her team with Saki Akamiya having ended, Misao is back to protecting Tokyo Joshi Pro, Japan, the world and even the universe on her own. Her first job was to fight Nonoko or as she called her, Tits Monster. Nonoko overpowered Misao and was on her way to an easy victory until she missed a Corner Splash Attack. Misao agve her a School Boy and even placed her feet on the middle rope for leverage to get the upset victory.

Word has come out that two of the trainees who were introduced at the January Korakuen Hall show have since quit the promotion. Yuki quit to focus on her education and Alice was not in a good enough physical state to continue training. The remaining trainees are Hinako and Maho. Hinako was seen working out with Shoko Nakajima before the show. I don’t know what Maho’s status is.

Tokyo Joshi will be part of the Beer Garden series of shows in Shinjuku FACE this August.
