6. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Naoya Nomura & Mizuki Watase

The entry of REAL BLOOD into Ganabre☆Pro headlines the show tomorrow.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 15/05/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Maki Itoh Vs Kaya Toribami
2. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Moka Miyamoto
4. Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe VsSuzume & Haruna Neko
5. Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Mizuki & Arisu Endo

All is well and good between Kyoraku Kyomei after the Princess Of Princess Title earlier this month. Yuka Sakazaki is staying in America for the rest of this month so it is up to Mizuki & Arisu Endo to fight Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao on her behalf.

This will be Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh’s last match in Japan this month before they go over to America for their bookings with Prestige Wrestling. Your guess is as good as mine if there are any suprise appearances either will make between now and then.

As mentioned above, Sakazaki’s excursion to AEW will last for the rest of the month so she will not be on this show. Her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro will be on 4th June. TJPW have said that more international bookings for their roster will happen after June and they will inform the fans about them when they happen.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

Akito has been convinced to audition for Pheromones to keep the unit under control. The implication that doing this will earn Akito enough trust from CyberFight that he will then some day be promoted to company president is motivating him to go along with the plan. He promised to take it further by gaining Pheromones’ trust before destroying them from the inside. They are going to try out a few warm up tag team matches before fully committing to the big 8-Man Tag Match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. This changes the first two matches on the card to accommodate this new plan.

GANBARE☆PRO “CRAZY THUNDER ROAD 2022”, 26/05/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. PocchaJo Vs GanJo Full-Scale Battle: Yuna Manase, Maika Ozaki & Yappy Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & YuuRI
2. Road To SEKIGAHARA Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari, Soma Takao & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shigehiro Irie

The build up to “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA” goes up a notch here. Yumehito Imanari and Ken Ohka are now wrestling in the same matches to prepare for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title bout.

Pocchari Joshi has a new lease of life with the new additions of Maika Ozaki & Yappy to the brand. Yuna Manase now wants to gather together with them and test what they are made of against the regular Ganbare☆Joshi group.

Wrestlers advertised to appear include Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Tsuyoshi Okada, Naoya Nomura, Tyson Maeguchi and Ryuya Matsufusa.

Fukuoka is getting the unusual trio of Atsushi Onita, HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki teaming together to take on The 37KAMIINA.

The DDT Universal Champion and the DDT Extreme Champion are against each other in Match #4.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 29/05/2022

6. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi
7. Kumamoto Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida

Yuki Ishida gets to be the homecoming hero taking on the might of BURNING. He has HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura backing him up so it won’t be a hopeless challenge for the youngster.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022”, 01/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinichiro Kawamatsu (c) (w/ Nobutatsu Suzuki) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Thanomusaku Toba Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Gota Ihashi
2. Chris Brookes, Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Maya Yukihi & Asuka

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Kazusada Higuchi Vs HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Soma Takao
6. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

A warm up tag match for Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Kazusada Higuchi before “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. Higuchi’s comments on their match against the NOAH team shows he isn’t on the same page with BURNING at the moment. It’s not out of skill level or opinions on each other. More that he has his own idea of beating NOAH that doesn’t mix with how the other two think they can win.

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SPOOFING SIDE STORY~” Results

April 26, 2022

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SPOOFING SIDE STORY~”, 26/04/2022
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
50 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special Poccha Libre Match ~Fighting Illustrator Vs American Drag Queen From The Philippines~: Yappy defeated Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (8:14).
2. PocchaJo New Chapter ~Fighting Weather Reporter Vs Former Weightlifting Women’s Triple Crown Champion~: YuuRI Vs Maika Ozaki ended in a No Contest when Beauty Suzuki, 643 Mangaritsutsua and Yappy all interfered (7:50).
2a. Overtime: Maika Ozaki & Yappy defeated YuuRI & Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) when Yappy pinned Suzuki with the Choke Skull Slam (5:38).
3. PocchaJo 3rd Anniversary Match: Yumehito Imanari defeated Yuna Manase with a Lariat (16:35).

The return of Pocchari Joshi to celebrate its 3rd Anniversary was also a chance to bring Yumehito Imanari’s vision back to its origin. He created the sub-brand to let joshi of a certain size show off their individuality and charm in the ring. He hopes Yuna Manase and others will continue to do so. At the end of the show, Imanari invited Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon into the ring. She has been teaming with Manase in Ice Ribbon lately and they are fighting to get a shot at the International Ribbon Tag Team Titles. Imanari encouraged the pair to continue chasing after the belts and told Satsuki to carry Ice Ribbon on her back.

Moeka Haruhi was pulled off the show after she tested positive for covid. Maika Ozaki’s replacement opponent was YuuRI but their match was spoiled when Beauty Suzuki & 643 Mangaritsutsua started interfering on YuuRI’s behalf. Yappy then came out to even the odds and a big fight caused the match to get thrown out. The four wrestlers agreed to do a Ganbare☆Pro Vs Ice Ribbon tag match on the spot. The Ganpro team fell apart when Suzuki accidentally hit his partner. The scenario then happened in reverse but this time YuuRI’s attack was intentional as payback. Mangaritsutsua tried to get involved but Ozaki put the drag queen in a Torture Rack while Yappy finished off Suzuki.

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SPOOFING SIDE STORY~”, 26/04/2022
Saitama Wrestle Butokan

1. Special Poccha Libre Match ~Fighting Illustrator Vs American Drag Queen From The Philippines~: Yappy Vs Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua)
2. PocchaJo New Chapter ~Fighting Weather Reporter Vs Former Weightlifting Women’s Triple Crown Champion~: Moeka Haruhi Vs Maika Ozaki
3. PocchaJo 3rd Anniversary Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Yuna Manase

The very first Pocchari Joshi show was built around Yumehito Imanari taking on his muse Yuna Manase. To celebrate the brand’s 3rd anniversary it is time to run that match back!

As mentioned in the match title, Maika Ozaki is an accomplished high school weightlifter turned pro wrestler. She was trained by Manase in Actwres girl’Z and spent most of her wrestling career as a freelancer, although most of her time is spent in Ice Ribbon. Kind of surprising then it took her this long to show up in Ganbare☆Pro given her connection with Manase.

DDT “JUST BEFORE YOKOHAMA BUDOKAN! ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN I-CANAL STREET”, 29/04/2022
Yokohama i-Canal Street

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida

DDT is going to be in Yokohama for a few days at the end of the month so let’s fit in a Falls Count Anywhere match! i-Canal Street, formerly known as Ishikawacho, is located near the Yokohama Budokan so DDT is promoting their big show their on 1st May with a free match along with an autograph session and on-site ticket sales.

All four Tokyo Joshi Pro champions will team together for an 8-Woman Tag Match in Osaka. However since the Princess Of Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles are being defended on 3rd May, there may be new champions teaming with Maki Itoh by the time this match happens. TJPW don’t want to tip their hand here. So Itoh will team with Nakajima or Hyper Misao and Magical Sugar Rabbits or Free WiFi.

Saki Akai will be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “A HOMANSU 2022”, 14/05/2022
Chiba 2AW Square

1. Yuna Manase Triumphant Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari, Kaji Tomato & Yuna Manase Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shota & Ayame Sasamura

Just confirmation that the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title will both be defended at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022” this August. There will be more defences for both titles between now and then so who knows how long Tetsuya Endo and MAO will last as champions.

4. Ganpro & ChocoPro Union Vs Power Of Tiger: Ken Ohka & Baliyan Akki Vs Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

This is the match order for Ganbare☆Pro’s show tomorrow. The main event might be the culmination of Shinichiro Tominaga’s entire pro wrestling career. The “amateur” pro wrestler has always supported Ganpro even though he was never a full blown member of the roster. But if he was to beat Tatsuhito Takaiwa it would be a massive victory for the home team.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2022”, 27/03/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Antonio Honda Vs Pokotan
1. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani

7. After Judgement 2022 Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

A new KO-D Openweight Title belt will be given to Tetsuya Endo but will somebody step forth and challenge him for the title shot in May?

DDT doesn’t care if Michael Nakazawa is with AEW and booked in a title match, he is not going to main event the show!

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/04/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida
2. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul
3. Masahiro Takanashi & Soma Takao Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Maya Yukihi & Akito

The bad blood between Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi has all been washed away but they are still going to be fierce opponents even though Yukihi requested to team up with Akai. She also has to deal with Antonio Honda for the first time ever. At the time of writing, Honda is today the latest Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion.

Footage of Honda winning the Iron Man Title has appeared online. The champion Lingling somehow lost the title to an apple during the filming of a CyberFight talk show on ABEMA. She was challenged to crush the apple with her bare hand but she couldn’t do it. When she told the referee she gave up, he took her words literally and declared the apple as the new champion. Honda then walked in and fought the apple, narrowly pinning it after a close fight to take the title.

DDT “KOMINATO RAILWAY TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 02/04/2022
Kominato Railway Goi Station

1. Falls Count Anywhere Time Admission Battle Royal: Hiroshi Yamato Vs X
2. Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Naomi Yoshimura
3. Yoro Valley Day 2022 Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

The Battle Royal will take place on a moving train, I assume with every participant entering separately at different train stations. Only Hiroshi Yamato is being advertised in advance. The rest of the participants will not be revealed until the day of the show. The other two matches will be held in a wrestling ring set up at the final destination of Yoro Gorge Station, starting minutes after the Battle Royal train arrives.

GANBARE☆PRO “CRY BABY 2022”, 09/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ganpro Specialty Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Yuna Manase, YuuRI & SAGAT Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Baliyan Akki
2. Katsumura-gun Vs ROMANCE DAWN: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada Vs Shota & Soma Takao

Tsuyoshi Okada is hanging around Ganpro a little more than usual lately. He is somebody who before has popped up on shows here and there but maybe he’s committing to the place a little bit more this year. He’s been a good teammate for Shuichiro Katsumura so maybe he’s just happy helping a friend out.

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SIDE STORY~”, 26/04/2022
Saitama Wrestle Butokan

The Pocchari Joshi producer Yumehito Imanari has been impressed with Yappy from Ice Ribbon. He praises her for her diverse background in art, having a positive attitude towards her body and also her wrestling style. He has offered her to compete at the next PocchaJo show which she has accepted.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2022” Results

February 27, 2022

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2022”, 27/02/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
319 Fans

1. Katsumura-gun Vs Hitodenashi BLUES: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi when Katsumura submitted Shimatani with a Triangle Choke (10:04).
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Yukihi submitted YuuRI with the Whiteout (13:49).
3. Ganpro’s Famous Hardcore Mixed Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Akane Fujita defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE when Fujita pinned HARUKAZE with the Mikan de Pon onto the Ladder (15:30).
4. Unleash The Curse Of The Great Prophecy!: Yumehito Imanari defeated The Great Sasuke with a Lariat (15:50).
5. BAD COMMUNICATION 2022 Special Bout: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Fire Spear (12:38).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (23:02).
*V2 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.

A hot topic in Japanese wrestling right now is how hard the old guard are fighting to stay in the spotlight. It’s happening in Ganbare☆Pro too where Tatsuhito Takaiwa has a tight grip on the new Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He successfully defended the championship against Kouki Iwasaki in the main event of Korakuen Hall after a hard fought battle. Any hope Ganpro had of their “young general” bringing the belt back home failed to materialize after the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb put him away. Takaiwa called the match the toughest he’s had in years because he is not good against kickers. Iwasaki agreed, describing the champion as a man who crawled up from Hell. Takaiwa is being a good spirit despite being somewhat of an outsider. He made a promise to help Ganpro grow bigger while he is their champion and welcomes anyone to come challenge him. He is willing to have a rematch against Iwasaki but he also wants to learn more about the rest of the roster for potential opponents.

The trio of Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were too strong from ROMANCE DAWN & Shinichiro Tominaga to sail through. Irie smashed through Soma Takao with the Traffic Accident while Ishii took Shota out of play. That left Tominaga on his own ducking and diving all of his opponent’s big moves. He dodged the Beast Bomber and Kneel Kick but Ohka finally caught him with the Flame Spear to get the win.

In December 2015 The Great Sasuke gave Yumehito Imanari a “Great Prophecy” predicting he would have a breakout year in 2016. Nothing has happened since then and Imanari puts the blame on Sasuke for giving him a false blessing. That is what led to their singles match today. Sasuke, being the nutjob he is, did a Senton Bomb to the floor and missed. He was able to keep fighting until Imanari beat him with a Lariat. A tearful Imanari told Sasuke he still believes in the prophecy because it drives him to do his best. Sasuke gave an excuse that his prophecies sometimes have a time lag so Imanari’s one will definitely come true this year!

The Mixed Tag Match brought violence on an absurd level with some of the bizarre weapons being used. Mizuki Watase wore a tiger paw glove covered in barbed wire, HARUKAZE carried a garbage bag filled with empty plastic bottles, Akane Fujita had a baseball bat covered in thumbtacks and Shunma Katsumata had a bad with toy blocks stuck to it. Other weapons used included chairs, a ladder, an acupressure foot mat, steel cans and concrete blocks. Katsumata & Fujita kept accusing each other of stealing their own weapon ideas but had to get along out of necessity to win the match. Katsumata told Akane they keep winning together but they should stop before Sanshiro Takagi decides to make them team up again. Akane said that’s his problem and she will team with whoever the company offers to her. Watase & HARUKAZE enjoyed doing the match and like the idea of becoming a Hardcore Manzai tag team.

The Ganbare☆Joshi division was put on display in Match #2. YuuRI was put through the wringer by Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi so Yuna Manase used her own size and power to spark a comeback. YuuRI also got her second wind but it couldn’t last against Yukihi. After Haruhi got Manase out of the ring, Yukihi stretched and pulled YuuRI in the Whiteout until she gave up.

In the opening match Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada joined forces to beat Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi. It was a Power Bomb from Shimatani that was suddenly countered into a Triangle Choke from Katsumura that led to that result.

2022 is going to be a big year schedule wise for Ganpro. There will be three more Korakuen shows this year on 3rd May, 13th August and 27th December. Pocchari Joshi will also return for its third show on 26th April. But that’s not all. Ganpro are making their biggest gamble yet to become a major pro wrestling promotion. On 10th July they are going to run Ota Ward Gymnasium! When Ganpro began in 2013 Ohka only had 150,000 yen and Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic (now known as Ichigaya Chocolate Square) as a venue. He likes venues like that and Itabashi Green Hall but believes the time has come to grow bigger and become more major. That is why Ganpro is running Korakuen four times a year and also going to Ota Ward. He wants to keep the momentum going so one day Ganpro will reach Sumo Hall and the Tokyo Dome! He also said if Ganpro works hard and Japan works hard they can create a booming economy together!

6. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

I should have expected Yumehito Imanari to bring back Pocchari Joshi for his produce show. Yuna Manase takes on Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon. At least for now she is with Ice Ribbon. Not a lot of good news coming out of that place lately.

Hajime was once known as Hajime Nomura from WRESTLE-1. He switched over to an undead facepaint look right around the time W1 collapsed last year. He has since haunted the indie scene and will make his first appearance in Ganpro.

4e. Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Guts Ishijima & TORU when Ohka pinned Ishijima with the Flame Spear (10:53).

Every year the Beer Garden series is such good fun that you can’t blame some of the other promotions for joining in. Ganbare☆Pro held their Beer Garden-like show before DDT closed out the weekend. In the main event, a squad of Ganpro wrestlers fought against a group from the TTT promotion. This match continued the rivalry between the two groups spearheaded by Ken Ohka and Guts Ishijima. TTT got off to a strong start by eliminating Kouki Iwasaki and Yumehito Imanari back to back. The entrance of Shuichiro Katsumura quickly turned the tables when he tapped out Akiyori Takizawa and then knocked Masked Mystery out of the ring. The final part of the match saw Ohka & Katsumura beat Ishijima & TORU to give Ganpro the victory. However TTT went off to lick their wounds and gave the message that this inter-promotional feud is not over yet. Ohka is open to the idea of beating Ishijima as many times as he wants.

Yuna Manase defeated Yuna Mizumori in the P1 Climax (changed from BEST OF THE SUPER Pocchari) and received 10,000 yen as her prize. However when she was given the giant cheque she tore it in half and gave one piece over to Mizumori to share the prize. She welcomed Mizumori to Pocchari Joshi and Nikkan Lee also threw in her support for the group. At the end of the show Manase confronted Ohka and told him her idea to make Ganbare☆Joshi even bigger. She wants a singles match against Saki Akai! Ohka promised to meet with DDT management later in the night to put the match together.
