??? Fans

1. 3 Way Match: YuuRI defeated Tsukasa Fujimoto and HARUKAZE when YuuRI pinned HARUKAZE (?:??).
2. Takuya Wada Vs PSYCHO ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall (?:??).
3. Keisuke Ishii, Shinichiro Tominaga & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Choun-Shiryu when Tominaga pinned Katsumura (?:??).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Yappy defeated Mizuki Watase & Banny Oikawa when Yappy pinned Oikawa (?:??).

This wasn’t officially a Ganbare☆Pro show but they did so much to help Banny Oikawa put it together it might as well could have been one. Oikawa both wrestled in the main event and officiated the opening bout. There hasn’t been any official results posted anywhere yet but I was able to piece together results from what was posted on Twitter. I’ll update the results if more info comes out.

Yuna Manase had to be pulled from the show after she caught a fever. Tsukasa Fujimoto from Ice Ribbon took her place in the opening match on short notice. She was one of Oikawa’s trainers. Munetatsu Nakamura also had to miss the show and was replaced by PSYCHO.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPRING BREAKERS 2024” Results

April 27, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “SPRING BREAKERS 2024”, 27/04/2024
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki Watase & Rekka defeated Tyson Maeguchi & Tsuyoshi Okada when Watase pinned Okada with the Venetian (13:38).
2. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada with the Modified Schwein (9:11).
3. PSYCHO, Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Minoru Fujita, Sayaka Unagi & HARUKAZE when YuuRI pinned HARUKAZE with the Swanton Bomb (15:47).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Ken Ohka & Fuminori Abe when Imanari pinned Ohka with the Lariat (16:46).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii defeated Shuichiro Katsumura (c) with the Locomotion High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:59).
*Shuichiro Katsumura fails in V3. Keisuke Ishii becomes the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

A new chapter begins with a new champion! Keisuke Ishii is now the leading man for Ganbare☆Pro after he defeated Shuichiro Katsumura for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. He was able to counter the Triple Three 3 Lock into a cradle to get Katsumura to let go of the hold. Ishii then hit the High Angle Double Arm DDT three times in a row to secure the title change. He wanted to speak after the match but Shinichiro Tominaga quickly grabbed the microphone off him. Tominaga said he wants to win the SOG Title and Ishii is a worthy champion. But it is a wrestler’s golden rule to take down their rival when they are weak. So that means Tominaga wants a shot at… the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles!

He noticed Katsumura was still recovering from the main event so he called out his tag team partner Takuya Wada, who he had defeated earlier in the show. Wada blamed Banny Oikawa for the result (she was the referee for their match) and asked Tominaga who is partner will be? Tominaga quietly admitted he asked everyone in the GanPro locker room but nobody stepped forward to accept his offer. However he still has friends in the student pro wrestling scene particularly in CWP who will do whatever he asks. Also today is Tominaga’s birthday so Wada cannot deny his wish. GROUND ABSOLUTE will accept his challenge and the match will take place on 18th May.

After that was all sorted out the new champion Ishii finally got to speak. He said today was the perfect moment for him to win the title and he feels lucky it went that way. GanPro is now under a new system which means he too is under a new system. Under this new system he will become the ace of GanPro! After the show had finished, Ishii announced to reporters that his first defence will be against Kouki Iwasaki on 18th May. Iwasaki had given him encouragement before today’s main event and he is also the kind of tough challenge Ishii wants to face.

Ken Ohka is feeling good despite losing his first GanPro match under the new management. He said GanPro will face a lot of hardships but it is something the group all built together. It does not need a parent company and will overcome any trouble that can get in their way. His attitude along with Yumehito Imanari has spread over to Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Fuminori Abe. Both of them admitted they did their best today because they got motivated from watching Ohka and Imanari.

There were a few changes to the undercard because Munetatsu Nakamura became unwell during the week and could not wrestle today. PSYCHO was added to Match #3. The match result was YuuRI pinning HARUKAZE and afterward she challenged Sayaka Unagi for the Kitsune World Title! YuuRI explained she wants to take GanPro worldwide and she can take a shortcut by winning Unagi’s championship from America. Unagi said she cannot see YuuRI going worldwide like she does but she wants to beat her in GanPro along with other people. She accepted the challenge and will assess YuuRI for the title on 18th May.

As already mentioned, Banny Oikawa was the referee for the Tominaga Vs Wada match. She almost became a target of some intentional crossfire moments which is why Wada blamed her for losing the match. However Tominaga did in fact beat him clean.

Rekka was moved to Match #1 as the replacement for Nakamura.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will return to wrestling and her first match back is happening on 15th July. She has been out of action since last summer after taking part in a kidney transplant operation for her sister. She said she may be small but she fights to leave a big impact with people. She hopes her return will move people’s hearts in a big way.

A new trainee was introduced to everyone. Shota Kawakami is a childhood friend of Munetatsu Nakamura and he will make his debut on 18th May. He said he wants to do his best to become the ace of pro wrestling inside a fiercely competitive ring.

At the start of the show Imanari revealed that he kept in contact with Shinjiro Otani during GanPro’s transition to their new system. Otani was originally an on-site manager for the promotion before his injury. He told Imanari he has no intention of giving up the role despite being unable to attend shows in his current condition. So it’s now publicly confirmed that Otani is continuing his role and Imanari will work as passionately as he does!

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2018 ~DAMNATION DAY~” Results

July 30, 2018

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2018 ~DAMNATION DAY~”, 30/07/2018
Shinjuku FACE
573 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Under Match ~ Crocodile Death Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi ended in a No Contest (12R).
1. Soma Takao Produce DAMNATION New Member Assessment Match: Soma Takao & Shota defeated PSYCHO & CHANGO when Takao pinned CHANGO with the Official Endless Waltz (11:42).
2. DAMNATION Vs Metal Family!: Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT when Paulie pinned SAGAT with the Reverse Splash (10:56).
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Kohei Sato defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino when Ishikawa pinned Iino with the Fire Thunder (15:08).
4. DAMNATION Vs NOBUNATION! – Scramble Bunkhouse 10-Man Tornado Tag Death Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa, Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani, Ken Ohka, Masahiro Takanashi, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & CHANGO when Endo pinned Shimatani with the Shooting Star Press (14:10).

The entire DAMNATION unit got together for the first time to take part in their Beer Garden show. However they were threatened by the unit’s long time gopher boy Nobuhiro Shimatani who was so sick of the unit’s treatment of him that he formed his own unit to wipe them out. NOBUNATION consisted of Shimatani, Masahiro Takanashi, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, CHANGO and their big man, the hoss of the team, Ken Ohka! DAMNATION weren’t that intimidated by the other side as they were all handed cups of beer and tequila so they could have a toast at the start of the match. It didn’t take long for the match to devolve into a brawl around ringside and in the audience. Ohka missed the Fire Spear aimed for Daisuke Sasaki and hit Shimatani by accident instead. Tetsuya Endo wiped out a bunch of wrestlers with a Moonsault while Shimatani was put down by the rest of DAMNATION. Endo came back in to finish it with the Shooting Star Press.

Sasaki told Shimatani after the match that he brought together a good team and NOBUNATION should continue to exist. Sasaki told everyone he’s been drinking since 4 o’clock this morning then welcomed Shuji Ishikawa back for his first match in DDT since April. Ishikawa said he’s spent his time away from DDT practicing his karaoke. He came up with the name DAMNATION48 and sang a song while Endo and Mad Paulie danced beside him. Sasaki stopped the performance and scolded Ishikawa for his bad singing. Soma Takao scored it 7 out of 100. Ishikawa apologised and promised to spend the next four months practicing again.

Ishikawa’s main involvement on this show was to team with his Twin Towers partner Kohei Sato to take on Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino in a heavyweight duos showdown. Although Higuchi was on the losing side, he requested to have another match with the Towers sometime. Ishikawa shared a drink with Sato and joked that they never drink together because Ishikawa can’t keep up with Sato!

Endo was perplexed by Hiroshi’s yoga talents but got his mind back in the game when SAGAT was in the ring. Endo & Paulie’s victory came when they focused on SAGAT.

The DAMNATION audition match was held under “Double Daisuke” rules. That meant there were two referees in the match, Daisuke Kiso and Daisuke Sasaki. Takao wrestled with a notebook in his hand so he could score Shota, PSYCHO and CHANGO on their performances. Takao revealed his comments after the match. CHANGO has goot technique and is clever. PSYCHO has awesome moves and is good as a teammate. Shota has been friends with Takao for around 12 years so they are already on good terms with each other. It was down to Sasaki to decide who gets to be inducted by DAMNATION. Sasaki said everyone fails and is rejected! Actually Sasaki isn’t sure because he’s so drunk right now. Never mind, let’s move on to the next match.

In the dark match Sasaki and Takanashi brought back their match from last year that was just an excuse to drink shots every 30 seconds. The rules this time was after every round (which lasted 30 seconds), they played a game involving a toy crocodile where you take turns pressing down its teeth until the toy bites one of them. If the toy bites a wrestler, they have to drink tequila. If the toy doesn’t bite them, they drink a beer instead. Round after round went by as the match regressed to the point where both Sasaki and Takanashi became too drunk to do anything. Endo had enough and called off the match. He questioned why this was even the dark match in the first place. As mentioned above, it was an excuse for them to get drunk.

BASARA “VAJRA 32 ~SPRING BAMBOO AFTER RAIN~” Results

April 6, 2017

BASARA “VAJRA 32 ~SPRING BAMBOO AFTER RAIN~”, 06/04/2017
Yokohama Nigiwai-za Noge Share
101 Fans – No Vacancy

1. IRON PRIEST Vs Double ★ Trans-Am: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Trans-Am ★ Shinya & Trans-Am ★ Abe when FUMA pinned Abe with the Heavy Metal Anthem (8:59).
2. Reversal Pro Wrestling Trial: PSYCHO defeated Gouma Ryu and Konaka = Pale One when PSYCHO pinned both Ryu and Konaka with the High Fly Bomb (8:49).
3. Hardcore Match: Gunso defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Jorge Clutch (13:31).
4. Episode 2 – Death Penalty Of Best Stretchman V3: Isami Kodaka defeated Best Stretchman V3 with the European Clutch (8:42).
5. Cavalry Vs Hiroshi du Soleil: Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT when Nakatsu submitted SAGAT with the Cross Armbreaker (12:42).

Ryota Nakatsu sent a message to Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi after the main event. Nakatsu said he is gaining confidence and in good shape but he didn’t get what he wanted today because Ryuichi wasn’t here. He wondered if Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi is related to Ryuichi Kawakami because he saw Kawakami carrying the Union MAX Title at a Big Japan show earlier in the week. No matter, Nakatsu will take the title from whichever Ryuichi at Korakuen Hall instead.

Nobody got a bigger hero’s welcome on this show than Best Stretchman V3. His entrance had loads of streamers and plenty of people cheering for him. His opponent Isami Kodaka couldn’t help but say how funny the situation was. The two traded stretching submission holds until Kodaka caught Stretchman with the European Clutch for the win. It was at that point when Stretchman discovered that you will lose a wrestling match by having your shoulders pinned down for three seconds. He thanked “Hardcore Samurai” for a great learning experience and now he understands the rules of pro wrestling.

Gunso’s dominance in BASARA Hardcore Matches continued with a big victory over Takumi Tsukamoto. Gunso ambushed him before the match then fought back and forth with chairs and a ladder. Tsukamoto tried to hit the Tiger Suplex but Gunso countered it into a School Boy for a nearfall. When Tsukamoto kicked out Gunso turned the move into a Jorge Clutch and this time got the three count.

PSYCHO was put on trial accused of using multiple identities to exploit promotions out of their fight money. PSYCHO would allegedly disguise himself as mute wrestlers even though he can plainly speak. His opening comments simply involved him mumbling about baseball. Gouma Ryu’s defence was PSYCHO cannot wrestle because he is an ordinary man and ordinary men do not wrestle. Konaka = Pale One objected and called Ryu an ordinary man who wrestles. Ryuichi Sekine and Isami Kodaka were brought in as witnesses. Kodaka accused PSYCHO of attempting to murder him with a Choke Slam one time in K-DOJO. When Ryu heard this he refused to defend PSYCHO any further. This led to PSYCHO attacking both Ryu and Konaka and he pinned both of them with the High Fly Bomb. The judge declared PSYCHO was Not Guilty.

The newest member of the Trans-Am unit did not make a good first impression. Trans-Am ★ Abe came out wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket, acting like he was The Rock. The leather jacket turned out to be his downfall because it would not come off properly when he gestured for the People’s Elbow. He bungled the move and missed, allowing IRON PRIEST to put him away. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi yelled “You’re Fired!” at Abe after the match. Abe begged for one more chance. Hiroshi offered to give him one but only if Abe kisses his ass. Abe abandoned his pride and kissed Hiroshi’s ass but was then given the Stunner. Hiroshi then announced that Trans-Am ★ Tanaka will debut as the group’s newest member on 29th April.

There is a new rookie in BASARA who is ready to make his debut. Takato Nakano introduced himself at the beginning of the show. Nakano is 22 years old and describes himself as not the dexterous type. He was surprised when Isami Kodaka entered the ring and announced he will be Nakano’s opponent for his debut match on 29th April.
