1. Goddess Of Ganpuro, Advent: Kem Ohka defeated Ai Shimizu by TKO with a Half Crab (6:10).
2. III’s Vs Enjo-gun: Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura defeated Chikara & J-Soul Pandita III IV when Masayuki pinned Pandita with the Shota Certified Power Plant (9:44).

4. Shota And Abe, In A Stationary Darkness: Madoka & Yukihiro Abe defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when Abe pinned Shota after a Face Kick from Madoka (12:34).
5. Yutori Generation X Vs Black Jack Of The Rubbish Heap: Minoru Fujita defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Reverse Viper Hold (19:17).

Ganbare☆Wrestling held two shows in one day to celebrates its third anniversary. In the first show Shinichiro Tominaga stepped up to face Tomodachi-gun leader Minoru Fujita. Tominaga had an uphill battle ahead of him but was close to winning the match when he hit the JK. Unfortunately Fujita ducked a Lariat, pulled Tominaga down to the mat and applied the Reverse Viper Hold to make him submit. Fujita said the match was good preparation for the evening show and that Rubbish Heap★Wrestling will be immortal forever! Fujita then took out his Best Microphone diploma from this year’s Dramatic Awards. He offered a deal with Ken Ohka. If Ohka’s team wins the main event of the evening show then he will be given the Best Microphone Award. But if Fujita’s team wins he takes Ohka’s entrance song “BAD COMMUNICATION” by B’z! Ohka rejected the proposal but Fujita then asked if Ohka has permission from B’z to use the song. Ohka does not. He accepted the stipulation.

Tomodachi-gun cheated to win the semi-main event. Madoka distracted the referee so Yukihiro Abe could attack Shota with a foreign object. Madoka then hit a High Face Kick to Shota while Abe got rid of the evidence. Abe was the legal man so he got the pin with the referee being none the wiser.

Ken Ohka was Ai Shimizu’s mystery opponent for her first match in Ganpuro. Ohka invited Shimizu to come wrestle in Ganpuro anytime.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is celebrating its third anniversary with two shows on the 23rd April.

Ai Shimizu approached Ken Ohka directly to ask if she could join Ganpuro. The former Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler has attended shows in the past and sees Ganpuro as the next place for her career. She even slapped Ohka to prove how serious she is to join the company. Ohka is now looking to find the best opponent for Shimizu’s first match.

Shibata was originally supposed to be in the opening match teaming with Mitomi Masayuki. Unfortunately Shibata had to pull out of the show due to a double booking. Rainbow Kawamura takes his place. Kawamura was a part of Enjo-gun faction before his injury and transformation. It’s unknown if his new personality will clash with Masayuki.

Order Of Elimination: Atsushi Maruyama, Choun-Shiryu, Hong Kong Domestic Police Man, Fake Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Women’s Police Man, Mac Imanari, Lions Mask, Miss Goat, Mushuku No “Sekiko”, Mr. Jujitsu, Scheiner Man. Even
3. Special Dream Match: Viper defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Viper Bomb (9:10).
4. Ganpuro Vs Tomodachi-gun: Ken Ohka, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Tominaga pinned Abe with the JK (16:25).

The battle for Yukihiro Abe continued in the main event. Tomodachi-gun fought dirty and used referee distractions to their advantage but Ken Ohka kept trying to convince Abe to come to his senses. The distraction allowed Shinichiro Tominaga to catch Abe off guard and hit the JK for the win. Ohka and Minoru Fujita used Abe in a tug of was afterwards but Ohka let go when he realised he was hurting him. Tominaga introduced himself to Fujita as the KAIENTAI Killer because he hates KAIENTAI! He challenged Fujita to a match but Shuichiro Katsumura also demanded to be in the ring with Fujita. It was brought up that Ganbare☆Wrestling is holding two shows in one day on 23rd April. Fujita said he will fight Tominaga on the afternoon show and then Katsumura in a tag match on the evening show. Ohka nominated himself as Katsumura’s tag partner.

Yumehito Imanari wanted to start off his match with Viper on friendly terms so he tried to hug her. Viper refused to let it happen and the match quickly went outside the ring. Viper lifted up Imanari and gave him a Torture Rack by the ring entrance. In the ring she gave him a Bearhug and a Figure 4 Necklock. Imanari’s emotions switched between joy and terror. When Imanari was on the attack he tried a German Suplex but was crushed under Viper’s weight. Despite suffering defeat, Imanari was fine with what happened in the match.

The World’s Strongest Phantom Rumble was filled with oddities and other silly looking wrestlers. Many were just the same four or five wrestlers wearing different costumes including Yumehito Imanari dressed as Superman and somebody in a Spiderman costume. Even J-Soul Pandita III IV got in on the act a few times. Due to a couple of double eliminations and self eliminations the ring was empty when the final entrant Potato Head Sera entered so she was declared the winner. Sera then revealed her real identity, she is Risa Sera from Ice Ribbon.

Enjo-gun entered the ring to the Darth Vader theme song and called themselves the Darth Vader of pro wrestling. They then had an argument with Chikara over Darth Vader. Chikara & Shuichiro Katsumura won the match but brawled with Enjo-gun afterwards.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Ken Ohka
*Ken Ohka will cash in in Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The first Right To Challenge Contract is already being cashed in. Ken Ohka is wasting no time and wants to fight HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title this Saturday. Ohka is not giving HARASHIMA any time to recover from Sumo Hall while he himself got through the show without a scratch. He knows HARASHIMA isn’t 100% and probably has an injured knee or foot from his match with Isami Kodaka. He has all the respect in the world for the champion and they have a strong bond after their match with Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu last year. But his desire to win the KO-D Title again is even stronger.

Daisuke Sasaki nominated The World’s Cutest Tag Team as the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He wants revenge on Candice LeRae for turning down his marriage proposal just to get engaged to someone else afterwards. Sasaki admits he’s thinking with his crotch instead of his head. He even wants to fight LeRae’s fiancée Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi is allowing the title match to happen due to Sasaki’s insistence but did point out the former champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo also want a title rematch.

Turns out there is one more Right To Challenge Contract up for grabs.

In an odd turn of events Super Sasadango Machine wanted to vacate the DDT Extreme Title and reward it to Antonio Honda. Tsurumi asked why and he said he wanted to give the belt to Honda as a lifetime achievement award. His request was refused so he asked if he could lend the belt to Honda instead. When that was turned down he admitted he didn’t want to defend the title until the 20th Anniversary show in Saitama Super Arena next year. Then he admitted he would rather give the belt to Honda instead of losing it to him.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MACHINE GUN O BUPPANASE 2016”, 21/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
122 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Fighting Flames War: Hayato Mashita defeated Shibata with the Muso (4:58).
2. Grudge Panda: Dr. Kirico (Chikara) defeated J-Soul Pandita III IV with the Saber Chop (3:31).
3. Suites In A Cell 3 Way Match ~Imanari And The Chocolate Factory~: Bambi (Whip) defeated Yumehito Imanari (Candy) and Manami Kanda (Bamboo Sword) when Bambi pinned Imanari with the Standing Shining Wizard (11:27).
4. Wrestle Counselling: GENTARO defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Sharpshooter (16:57).
5. Ganpuro-gun Vs Tomodachi-gun ~Declaration Of War~: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Osamu Namiguchi defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Ohka pinned Abe with the Spear Of Flame (20:51).

The two teams in the main event continued brawling after it ended. When the two sides were separated there was a heated argument between Ken Ohka and Minoru Fujita. Ohka threw out a challenge for 29th March: Himself, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga against three members of Tomodachi-gun. If Ohka’s team wins they get to rehabilitate Yukihiro Abe back to normal. Fujita whispered into Abe’s ear that he can become stronger if he beats Ohka. He then asked Ohka if one of his partners could be a beautiful joshi. Ohka accepted. Fujita then for some reason asked if he can vacate one of his chosen partners. Ohka also accepted. Fujita complained about the room smelling like candy and left with the rest of Tomodachi-gun.

The room smelt of candy because of Match #3. Yumehito Imanari covered the ring in potato chips and burst a bag of popcorn on Bambi’s head. He also interrupted the match to give chocolates to Manami Kanda as a late Valentine’s Day gift. Bambi attacked both of them and ate the remaining chocolate. Imanari later bribed Kanda with potato chips but didn’t pay attention to Bambi. He was pinned by Bambi with a Standing Shining Wizard. Kanda distracted herself by picking up pieces of candy from the canvas.

When Match #2 began Dr. Kirico immediately pulled out an injection to use on J-Soul Pandita III IV but the creature knocked it out of his hand. When Kirico began hitting Pandita with Saber Chops it was a clue as to who was under the mask. He unmasked and revealed himself to be Chikara! He then pinned Pandita with the Saber Chop. Chikara apologised to Pandita and then asked if it was a parent. Pandita is part of a wrestling family just like Chikara is so they should work hard together! That’s right, the grandson of Rikidozan just bonded with a panda over their families’ wrestling history.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.3”, 21/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 3 Way Match: Yuu defeated Azusa Takigawa and Nodoka Onesan when Yuu submitted Takigawa with a Heel Hold and Nodoka with a Modified Armlock at the same time (4:12).
2. Poison Miura (w/ Poison Sawada JULIE) defeated Hyper Misao with a Rock Bottom (6:25).
3. Poison KANNA (w/ Poison Sawada JULIE) defeated Saki Akamiya with the Poison Serpent (8:14).
4. Nonoko, Ai Shimizu & Rika Tatsumi defeated Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki when Nonoko pinned Yamashita with the Pai Fly Flow (14:29).

Miyu Yamashita’s title reign is in peril when she was pinned by her upcoming challenger Nonoko in the main event. The size difference was too much for Yamashita to handle and she was literally bouncing off of Nonoko at one point. Nonoko countered the Crash Rabbit Heat with a Body Block called the K Cup Oppai Launch. Nonoko hit the Boinemaker and then the Pai Fly Flow to pick up the victory. Nonoko said 13th March will be a historic day for Tokyo Joshi Pro because that is when she will beat Yamashita for the Tokyo Princess Of Princess Title. From that day forth the legend of big breasted Nonoko the permanent champion will begin!

Poison Sawada JULIE went into the show swearing he will brainwash two people into joining Snake World Joshi. Saki Akamiya and Hyper Misao (now known as Sukeban-gun) were joined by Mitsuya Nagai for their matches. Nagai had been training both of them in preparation of the war with JULIE’s army. First up was Misao Vs Poison Miura. Misao tried her best but Miura overpowered her quite easily. Akamiya Vs Poison KANNA took place afterwards and this time the match was more in Sukeban-gun’s favour. Akamiya had KANNA beaten with the Two Stage Face Kick until the rattling sound of JULIE’s snake magic could be heard. Suddenly Nagai’s arm raised high and shook to the sound of the rattle. He was brainwashed! Nagai put Akamiya in a Choke Hold until KANNA recovered and hit the Poison Serpent for the three count. JULIE introduced everyone to Snake World’s newest member Mitsuya Hebigai! Now it was Akamiya’s turn to join. Sanshiro Takagi ran out for the rescue and used snake repel spray to run off JULIE and his cronies. JULIE threw out a challenge for 13th March for a final battle between Sukeban-gun and Snake Magic Joshi. It will be Akamiya & Misao with Takagi in their corner against Miura & KANNA with JULIE in their corner. However Takagi said he will be busy that day working at the annual Gorgeous Matsuno produced DDT event in Fukushima. Luckily he knows someone who can take his place, Tokyo Joshi’s GM Tetsuya Koda! Koda wasn’t sure of the decision and fretted that he was not a wrestler. Akamiya had to slap him across the face to calm him down.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MACHINE GUN O BUPPANASE 2016”, 21/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

5. Ganpuro-gun Vs Tomodachi-gun ~Declaration Of War~: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Osamu Namiguchi Vs Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe

So far Dr. Kirico has been either Atsushi Maruyama or Shuichiro Katsumura hidden under the mask. I’m not sure if J-Soul Pandita III IV is aware that it’s a different person everytime, it probably just sees the evil doctor that killed one of its kin two years ago.

7. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Final: HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie

The DNA team haven’t convinced T2Hide that they deserve their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot. Kazuki Hirata pinned Kouki Iwasaki with his Miracle Cradle in their non-title trios match. However the DNA team were able to beat Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi in a separate trios match the day before.

LiLiCo will be in attendance. She is still the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. I’m certain we’ll be introduced to her partners for Sumo Hall. Who could she get to face the Kawaii Connection? Should she fight fire with fire in this situation?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.2”, 06/02/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yu & Nodoka Onesan defeated Rika Tatsumi & Azusa Takigawa when Onesan submitted Takigawa with a Cross Armbreaker (9:59).
2. Shoko Nakajima defeated Marika Kobashi with the Northern Lights Suplex (6:01).
3. Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao defeated Poison Miura & Poison KANNA (w/ Poison Sawada JULIE) when Akamiya pinned KANNA with the Two Stage Face Kick (8:13).
4. Nonoko & Ai Shimizu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Yuka Sakazaki when Nonoko pinned Shimizu with the Pai Fly Flow (11:49).

Nonoko got the pin on Yuka Sakazaki after Ai Shimizu hit the Triebflügel and Nonoko followed up with the Pai Fly Flow. Nonoko confronted Miyu Yamashita after the match and brought up an interview she gave from the last show. Nonoko remembered Yamashita saying anybody can challenge her for the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title. Nonoko asked Yamashita if she remembers who won the first Tokyo Princess Cup or who was the wrestler she suffered her first defeat to? It was Nonoko and she wants a title shot! Yamashita accepted the challenge and said she is raring to defend the belt. Even though she lost today the belt won’t be leaving her side. Nonoko replied that she was the first person to beat her and she will also take her first championship too.

Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao have spent the past few weeks under intensive training from Mitsuya Nagai. But their plan to destroy Snake World Joshi was almost ruined before it began when Poison Sawada JULIE poisoned Misao with his snake magic at the start of the show. Sanshiro Takagi came to the rescue and gave Misao the antidote. She recovered in time for Match #3 to begin. Misao tried to talk Poison Miura & Poison KANNA out of their poisoned state but it was too strong. However the hero team capitalised on a mistaken Lariat Miura gave to KANNA and Akamiya got the victory. Miura told Miura & KANNA that teamwork was where they could get real strength, not snake magic. She gave them the antidote and encouraged them to drink it. KANNA Speared Misao instead. She and Miura went back to Sawada who called their defeat a fluke. He demanded a singles match between Poison KANNA and Akamiya at the next show.

Although she was defeated in her first singles match, Marika Kobashi is learning from her experience. She’s thinking about gaining weight and muscles so her Machine Gun Shops can become stronger.
