GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WOW WAR TONIGHT 2015”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

2. Power Of Dreams Showdown ~ Acceptance Of Rikidozan III Vs Hotel Scam Again: Chikara Vs Yumehito Imanari
3. The Answer Is NO! Special 3 Way Match: Mr. No Vs Kiku Montaro Vs Kuzu Hayashi
4. The True Value Of Leeway Generation X!?: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO
5. Reunion Of Fate! Black Jack Of The Lion And The Rubbish Heap: Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Shunma Katsumata
2. Amon Tsurumi Cup Battle Royal: MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs DJ Nira
3. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
4. Anytime, Anywhere Holder 3 Way Match: KUDO Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
5. Different Life ~Sound Of Impermanence~: Danshoku Dino Vs Jinsei Shinzaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
7. DDT Extreme Title – Last Man Standing Match: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

A high stakes 3 Way Match guarantees one Right To Challenge Contract will change hands. Daisuke Sasaki wants to have every contract for himself so he can have a Plan B, C, D and E if his eventual cash in fails. He currently has two in his possession but he risks losing one if KUDO or Kazusada Higuchi beat him. Speaking of those two, they are both just weeks away from cashing in their contracts. To lose it now would be catastrophic for that person.

Amon Tsurumi will be the judge for his own Battle Royal. He will pick the winner based on whoever best meets his standards, whatever they are.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Isami Kodaka Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Isami Kodaka has said he uses the Shawn Capture Hold because he is a fan of Zero1 wrestler Ikuto Hidaka. He has invited Hidaka over to Union for a match to find out who uses the move better. Also because it will be a good match and Kodaka hopes everyone will enjoy as much as he will.

5. Teisen Specialty Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe And Scallop Bowl 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Saki Akai

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2”, 10/05/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) & DJ Nira Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma
1. Soma Takao Vs Suguru Miyatake
2. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Shunma Katsumata
3. Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, MIKAMI & X
5. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu

DNA rookies Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu are thrusted into the main event with big implications depending on the result. Higuchi and KUDO both have Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts and both have made their intentions clear to cash in later this month. Getting pinned would devastate either man’s plan.

The King Of Dark Title only changes hands if Gota Ihashi pins or submits one of his opponents. No title change if DJ Nira gets the win.

The remaining opening round pairings will be determined on the day of the show.

2. Reunion Of Fate! Black Jack Of The Lion And The Rubbish Heap: Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki

Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO was put together because GENTARO gave a rave review of Tominaga’s first wrestling match four years ago. Ganpuro and GENTARO want to see how far Tominaga has advanced since then.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY ANNIVERSARY”, 18/04/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
96 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special Mixed Tag Match: Yukihiro Abe & Manami Kanda defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Haruka Kato when Kanda pinned Kato with a Lariat (10:28).
2. Berserk Mammal Vs Foreign Mystery – Pittsburgh Death Match: Mr. AKIBA defeated U.S Philadelphia Pandita with the Idol Master (3:16).
3. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs K-DOJO: Yoshihiro Horaguchi defeated Tiger Bedscene with a Boston Crab (9:22).
4. You Can Bet The Name Of Yoshino: Osamu Namiguchi defeated Kotaro Yoshino with the Lanakila-X (8:56).
5. Special Single Match: GENTARO defeated Chikara with a Backslide (12:33).
6. Special Tag Match: Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki (w/ Tomoya Kawamura) defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Shibata submitted Imanari with the Dai Enjo (15:42).

The Union invaders are now called Enjo-gun (Flame Army) and they made their presence felt on this show. Tomoya Kawamura & Mitomi Masayuki attacked Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari during the opening introduction and tied them to the ring ropes with sticky tape just so they could give their theme music CD to the sound guy. The main event was a heated brawl with Ohka getting bloodied in the process. Shibata locked in the Hell’s Gate on Imanari to win by submission. Ohka revealed that he will face Shibata & Masayuki again on 16th May but this time his tag partner will be Minoru Fujita!

Osamu Namiguchi told Kotaro Yoshino that the most important thing he should learn from their match is fighting spirit.

J-Soul Pandita III IV was nowhere to be found so its American counterpart was brought in to fight Mr. AKIBA. “Real American” played over the speakers and U.S Philadelphia Pandita entered the ring while posing like Hulk Hogan. Mr. AKIBA called Philadelphia dullsville and said he is from the great city of Pittsburgh so they should have a Pittsburgh Death Match. Nobody knows what the rules for that match are since they only wrestled a normal match (as normal as a match can be with a creature like Pandita involved).

Manami Kanda and Haruka Kato were added to the BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA tournament on Ganbare☆Joshi’s debut show next month. Even though Kanda pinned Kato, Ohka encouraged Kato to join the tournament and work hard. That came back to haunt him at the end of the show when Kato was revealed to be the newest member of Enjo-gun!

3. Biishiki-gun Vs Bust Deluxe: Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu defeated Nonoko & Akane Miura when Akai pinned Nonoko with the Rookie Award (11:01).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated KANNA with the Crash Rabbit Heat (7:00).

KANNA turns heel! After losing to Miyu Yamashita yet again, KANNA was tempted by Saki Akai to join Biishiki-gun if she wanted to change her fortunes. Yamashita discouraged KANNA from switching sides, saying together they can fight off Biishiki-gun. KANNA shook Yamashita’s hand and then suddenly Speared her! KANNA said she wanted to beat Yamashita and become stronger. In order to do that she will join Biishiki-gun! Akai mocked Yamashita and called her a child. Yamashita challenged her to a singles match on 23rd May in Kitazawa Town Hall. Akai’s servant Ai Shimizu said Akai has dinner with an Arab oil tycoon on that date but she is able to fit the match into her schedule. Yamashita swore she will beat Akai and end Biishiki-gun.

Both Nonoko & Akane Miura wrestled with their faces covered in white makeup. Akai called both of them pigs and told them to go to the circus because they looked like clowns.


Shirai And Ohka To Team Again, Endo’s King Of Dark Replacement, Super Cinderella

April 14, 2015

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY ANNIVERSARY”, 18/04/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Special Mixed Tag Match: Yukihiro Abe & Manami Kanda Vs Shinichiro Tominaga & Haruka Kato

3. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs K-DOJO: Tiger Bedscene Vs Yoshihiro Horaguchi

5. Special Single Match: GENTARO Vs Chikara
6. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki (w/ Tomoya Kawamura)

During a promotional event for the show, Mio Shirai appeared and asked Ken Ohka to team up with her on the 29th April Union show at Korakuen Hall. They’ve had their differences in the past. When Shirai began wrestling for Union Ohka became smitten with her. He stalked her but Shirai caught him every time and choked him out with the Figure Four Neck Lock. They later became a tsundere tag team, sticking together until Ohka left Union to form Ganbare☆Wrestling. Ohka at first refused Shirai’s request. After losing the war against Union he feels that he would be lowering himself by returning there. But when Shirai tearfully asked him to reconsider, Ohka changed his mind and agreed to join her on 29th April.

Tomoya Kawamura pulled out of the main event. Taking his place is his Union colleague Mitomi Masayuki returning to Ganbare☆Wrestling for the first time since his suspension.

Mr. AKIBA is an American otaku who approached Ohka for an opportunity to become a wrestler. Once he went away Ohka decided AKIBA will fight the monster J-Soul Pandita III IV.

30 minutes isn’t enough fo Akito and Daisuke Sasaki. A 60 minute Iron Man Match will determine who deserves to be the DDT Extreme Champion.

Tetsuya Endo’s foot injury has not healed so he will not be able to compete on the show. A replacement was needed for the King Of Dark Title match. Amon Tsurumi picked Yasu Urano to take Endo’s place and “challenge” for the title. Tsurumi explained that during the Right To Challenge Rumble Urano secretly swapped his prize with Endo’s when the referee wasn’t looking. So when it was time to reveal who got what, Urano got the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract while Endo got the King Of Dark Title shot booby prize. Amon (and the audience) knew this at the time but he kept silent on the matter until now. Amon also announced that the winner of the match has to work double duty and will team with HARASHIMA later in the show.

5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka defeated Shota with the Spear Of Flame (12:20).

The main event was a grudge match between Ken Ohka and Shota. Ohka was looking to get revenge on Shota for turning his back on Ganbare☆Wrestling. Shota removed one of the turnbuckle covers but that proved to be his undoing. Ohka hit the Spear Of Flame and got the victory. Shota admitted he saw the error of his ways and announced he was graduating from Ganpuro. Ohka said he’s not going to stop Shota from leaving but pleaded Shota to continue wrestling and to come back someday.

GENTARO challenged Chikara to a singles match at the next show. Chikara accepted but the two had to be kept apart when tensions rose between them.

The match between Yumehito Imanari and Shibata was called off when Union’s Tomoya Kawamura entered the ring. Kawamura acted like he was on Imanari’s side but instead turned on him and joined Shibata in a beatdown until Tiger Bedscene came to the rescue. Shibata said there is not enough fire in Ganpuro and together he and Kawamura will burn it down in flames. An impromptu tag match began and Shibata got the victory with a steel chair attack followed by the Hell’s Gate submission. After the main event Shibata challenged Ohka and Imanari to a tag match on 18th April.

Osamu Namiguchi and Kotaro Yoshino got into a fight after Match #2. Namiguchi told Yoshino and Yoshihiro Horaguchi they have no guts.

Angela Ami graduated from Ganbare☆Wrestling after her victory over Haruka Kato. Yumehito Imanari was proud of her progress since his URRC project began and felt now was the time for her to move on. Ken Ohka said that while Angela Ami will no longer be in Ganpuro, Manami Kanda will soon return.

2. Nonoko & Akane Miura defeated Chikage Kiba & Yuka Sakazaki when Miura submitted Sakazaki after the Welcome Oppai (11:28).

4. Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu defeated Miyu Yamashita & KANNA when Akai pinned KANNA with the Rookie Award (9:34).

Miyu Yamashita opened the show by telling the audience she turned 20 years old on 17th March. She thanked the fans for their support as she turns into an adult. Saki Akai interrupted her speech and called her a 20 year old pelican. She then revealed the name of her new unit, Biishiki-gun (美威獅鬼軍 – I think the translated name is along the lines of Beauty Demon Army). Their entrance song is “The Rose Scatters Beautifully”, the theme song of The Rose Of Versailles anime. Biishiki-gun’s first match was a success, Akai pinned KANNA while Ai Shimizu kept Yamashita at bay. However Bust Deluxe made their presence felt after the match and after a lot of insults between the two sides a tag match was booked for the 18th April.

While Akai is developing a grudge with Yamashita, she did have nice things to say about KANNA. Akai complimented KANNA’s Spear and said she will become stronger while Akai herself will become more beautiful. Noticing this was just an attempt to recruit KANNA, Yamashita chased Akai away. KANNA told Yamashita she does not want to hide behind her shadow and challenged her to a match on the next show. Yamashita accepted and said she wants the two of them to work hard to defeat Biishiki-gun.

Hyper Masao was convinced she wasn’t wrestling Shoko Nakajima. She believed Nakajima was replaced by a demon in disguise called Monster Nakagon.

Bust Deluxe now has a tag team finisher called the Welcome Oppai. Akane Miura lifts the victim up into the Canadian Backbreaker then smothers their face into Nonoko’s chest. Earlier in the match Yuka Sakazaki used a donut on a string to hypnotize Nonoko. Nonoko then ate it.
