Brookes Off This Weekend, SOG Title Signings, Full Wrestle Princess IV Card, Ultimate Party Updates

September 26, 2023

Kyoto KBS Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi & Rukiya Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

There is a change to this weekend with Chris Brookes. He is getting his right shoulder examined for injury this week and is unable to wrestle on either shows. DDT will update everyone on when Brookes can return as soon as they get his results. HARASHIMA will take his place in the main event for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The earlier match HARASHIMA was booked for will now have Akito in it instead.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2023”, 01/10/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Riara Vs SAKI
2. GanPro’s Famous Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii, Munetatsu Nakamura & HARUKAZE Vs Soma Takao, Shinichiro Tominaga & Kaho Kobayashi
3. GanJo x TJPW Special Tag Match: Yuki Kamifuku & YuuRI Vs Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa
4. Loser Haircut Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Koji Doi & Kuma Arashi
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

The contracts for the two title matches were signed earlier today. Yumehito Imanari spoke of the pride he felt seeing Shinichiro Tominaga try to beat Isami Kodaka for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. Tominaga failed but his efforts inspired Imanari to be the next challenger to step in front in Kodaka. Even though Kodaka originally planned for this title reign to be like an invasion he has felt the warmth, fun and brightness of Ganbare☆Pro over time. So when he beat Tominaga it brought him back to reality when he noticed the fans were disappointed with the result. He wants to remain champion in order to keep getting guaranteed bookings from GanPro. His previous memories of Imanari are only from back when Imanari was on the DDT video team. He is confident he will beat him because he cannot envision what kind of pro wrestler Imanari can be.

Hentai Punch Drunkers said they want to win back the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles because they never got to hold onto the physical belts while they were champions. Hikaru Sato said that means you cannot say he and Tyson Maeguchi ever “lost the belts”. It is a loose end that needs to be tied up. In fact, Maeguchi is acting like this is his first ever championship match and believes the title he is fighting for has a lot of history behind it (no and no). Takuya Wada complained that GanPro was too leniant over the decision to book this rematch because Maeguchi hasn’t done anything recently to deserve another chance. Shuichiro Katsumura wants to win in order to prevent the first champion team from ever establishing a connection with the physical title belts. Wada and Maeguchi then almost got into a fight during the group photo and had to be kept apart.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2023 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 01/10/2023

This is the complete card for “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”. We have the next appearance for NEO Biishiki-gun against a force assembled by Shoko Nakajima. The pairing of Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino are back again. Aja Kong gets to reunite with Raku after Raku missed their last scheduled match together due to illness. Moka Miyamoto and Juria Nagano get pitted together for a karate fight. Tokyo Joshi Pro gets to do another inter-promotional match with Ganbare☆Joshi and this time Riara gets to be part of the TJPW experience. Last but not least the two youngest rookies on the roster Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo face each other in the opener.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023”, 12/11/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Saki Akai Retirement Match: Saki Akai Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Hiromu Takahashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Chris Jericho Vs KONOSUKE TAKESHITA
4. DDT Universal Title: Matt Cardona (c) (w/ Steph De Lander) Vs MAO
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

I’m betting that Brookes’ shoulder injury is not bad enough to take him out of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” where he is advertised to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against Yuki Ueno. I’m daring fate here.

Despite losing his big match over the weekend, MAO was still encouraged to go his own direction and make a decision that will be best for himself. That quickly sent him down the road to challenging Matt Cardona for the DDT Universal Title. Of course Steph De Lander will be there too by the champion’s side. Maki Itoh had the right idea to try and incapacitate her in order to beat Cardona. Give MAO that battleplan and he will come up with an even crazier way to get that done.

So yeah, Chris Jericho is going to be on the show fighting Konosuke Takeshita. I didn’t expect that. The AEW feud surrounding Don Callis is going to have a chapter over in DDT where Takeshita is establishing himself back into a face for the home fans. I’m among the critics of Jericho who accuse him of constantly positioning himself into AEW angles that take the spotlight away from people who are getting over. But I’ll give it to him here, it’s paying off with a big match for DDT in Sumo Hall.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23” Results

September 17, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23”, 17/09/2023
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
151 Fans

1. Alex Lee defeated Echika Miyabi with the Vinco Plex (8:26).
2. Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Kobayashi pinned Riara with the Fisherman Suplex (15:01).
3. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi defeated Arisa Shinose with a Diving Body Press (7:48).
4. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba defeated Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Tomoka pinned Hasegawa with the Inaba Otoshi (17:00).
5. Special Single Match: Haruka Umesaki defeated YuuRI with the German Suplex (15:54).

On the hunt to win a championship again, YuuRI set her sights on Haruka Umesaki who currently holds the WWWD Single Title in her home promotion called Diana. A non-title match was put together here in Ganbare☆Joshi, giving YuuRI the home field advantage. However Umesaki won the match clean and decisively. She said she always wanted to wrestle YuuRI and was glad it happened. YuuRI told her she isn’t giving up her quest to win the WWWD Title from her and some day she will surpass her! According to Umesaki, she will go consult with Diana to put together a title match if everybody wants it to happen.

A reunion for Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa brought the two together for a tag match against the Inaba Sisters from JTO. The visitors won the match, leaving Hasegawa feeling dejected. She wasn’t able to win even when she had Takase’s help. Takase encouraged her to keep working hard and together they will get Hasegawa her first direct win. Both Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba believe they were able to show momentum for their first appearance as a team in GanJo.

The last time the ICEx∞ Title was in GanJo it was YuuRI’s championship. It now belongs to Ibuki Hoshi and she brought it with her for the Ice Ribbon offer match against Arisa Shinose.

The Hostess Tag Team has now reached a crossroads. They lost to Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi in a match where everybody was accusing each other of getting plastic surgery. Sumire Natsu & Riara have teamed up three times now and haven’t won once. Natsu thinks Riara needs to change her focus to what’s in front of her instead of worrying about getting their tag team over with the fans. She’s going to help her any way that she can so they will some day drink celebretory champagne together for winning a match.

Echika Miyabi’s match with Alex Lee was put together to celebrate Miyabi’s one year anniversary of her debut match. Miyabi’s first pro wrestling bout took place on 14th September last year.

The GanJo GM Yuna Manase gave everyone an update on her injury recovery. She’s at the point now where she can walk around in heels again.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
154 Fans

1. Miyako Matsumoto Vs Banny Oikawa
2. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita Vs Yappy & Tsukina Umino

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23” Results

August 11, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
154 Fans

1. Miyako Matsumoto defeated Banny Oikawa with the Reverse Tiger Driver (9:58).
2. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita defeated Yappy & Tsukina Umino when Hoshi pinned Umino with the Burning Star (9:13).
3. Sayaka Unagi defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Sliding TANAKA (10:10).
4. Maya Yukihi & Alex Lee defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Yukihi submitted Riara with the White Out (18:32).
5. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) defeated Ami Manase with the Swanton Bomb (18:09).
*V1 for YuuRI.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the latest Ganbare☆Joshi show was an Ice Ribbon event in disguise. The main event saw YuuRI successfully defend the ICEx∞ Title for the first time by beating Ami Manase. The masked opponent tried to use her sister Yuna Manase’s finisher, the Suzuki Dynamic but YuuRI countered it with a roll up. She then kicked out of a Lariat and built up momentum to pin Manase with the Swanton Bomb.

After the match Ibuki Hoshi entered the ring and declared she is going to win the ICEx∞ Title by the end of the year in order to become the new face of Ice Ribbon. She is happy to see YuuRI do her part as champion to get Ice Ribbon more attention but Hoshi would rather see her be the ace of her own promotion instead. YuuRI disagreed, saying she intends to become Ice Ribbon’s superhero as well as GanJo’s. She accepted the challenge and the two agreed to have their title match at Ice Ribbon’s next Korakuen Hall show on 26th August.

Sumire Natsu & Riara got to have a little bit of fun together when they teamed up for the first time. They messed with Maya Yukihi by pouring champagne over her head, tying her up in the Paradise Lock and posing over her. But Alex Lee took out Natsu with a Super Kick and Yukihi pulled Riara into the White Out to earn a submission victory.

In a match that Yoshiko Hasegawa was looking forward to, she lost to Sayaka Unagi. Afterwards Hasegawa admitted she is now firmly in the No. 2 position when it comes to GanPro so her goal now is to fight and become No. 1! Unagi encouraged her, saying that she too hasn’t been able to win her important matches even one time. It does not matter if you are strong or weak as long as you fight for your life with everything you have. That’s why Unagi has made her own goal of beating the likes of Minoru Suzuki, Atsushi Onita and Ken Ohka! Then once she’s done with that she will go find Sakura Hirota and have a match with her.

Since Match #2 was an Ice Ribbon offer match, it was held under their ruleset. That means no countouts and double team moves are permitted regularly when called out beforehand.

Looks like Banny Oikawa isn’t ready to be called up to Ganbare☆Pro just yet. Miyako Matsumoto defeated her in the opening match.

Yuna Manase announced that the middle show for GanPro September tripleshot in Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR will be the first Ganbare☆Meeting Business Trip. Instead of matches the middle show will feature a talk show held by Manase, YuuRI & Riara. Then HARUKAZE will hold a life counseling session for any wrestlers on the roster looking for advice. Finally Isami Kodaka and Shinichiro Tominaga will be part of a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match taking place later on the third and final show of the day.

TJPW PPV Location, Lighting The Fuse For Big Bang 2023, Is GanJo Just Ice Ribbon In Disguise?

July 26, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW MIDSUMMER ATHLETIC AMUSEMENT PARK PRO WRESTLING”, 27/07/2023
Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest

1. Red Team Vs White Team: X Vs X

Contestants: Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta, Hikari Noa, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami and Yuki Arai.

The video description on Wrestle Universe reveals that the PPV was recorded at Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest in Kanagawa. The team challenge is described as a “Best-Of-Five Showdown”.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023 TOUR IN YAMAGATA”, 06/08/2023
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Makoto Oishi
2. Yamagata Specialty Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya & Keisuke Goto
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Shigehiro Irie & Jun Akiyama

A few warm up matches for the big programs ahead. Chris Brookes and Shigehiro Irie have their first preview tag match. Brookes teams with his buddy Takeshi Masada while Irie gets to team with Jun Akiyama again.

Akito gets into his latest battle with Pheromones on the road to their final conflict. Poor Makoto Oishi now finds himself here after spending the last month getting to be in main events.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita Vs Yappy & Tsukina Umino
2. Miyako Matsumoto Vs Banny Oikawa
3. Sumire Natsu & Riara Vs Maya Yukihi & Alex Lee
4. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) Vs Ami Manase

On the last show Riara formed a new bond with Sumire Natsu and asked if they could team up. Natsu’s answer at the time was non-committal but as we can see here it’s going to happen after all. Their match has another NOMADS’ connection because Maya Yukihi is one of the opponents. Alex Lee takes the last spot in the match.

If Miyako Matsumoto is capable of bringing Banny Oikawa back to pro wrestling she is capable of getting rid of her too. Just a warning if she gets any crazy ideas.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23” Results

July 16, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans

1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Sumire Natsu defeated Riara with the Shining Wizard (10:32).
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Cherry & Alex Lee defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa when Cherry submitted Oikawa with the Sakuran Bokari (10:20).
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: SAKI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Power “Zu” Ram (11:27).
4. Makoto & Asuka defeated Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi when Makoto pinned Manase with the Death Valley Bomb (16:59).
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeated Misa Kagura with the Swanton Bomb (11:15).

As Ganbare☆Joshi begins to grow, so too does YuuRI’s success at winning matches. She scored a significant victory today by beating her old JTO classmate Misa Kagura in the main event of the latest GanJo show. With this momentum, YuuRI will be heading over to Ice Ribbon tomorrow to challenge Totoro Satsuki for the ICEx∞ Title. She told the fans she is going to win the title in the afternoon and then show up at the evening’s Ganbare☆Pro show as a champion! Backstage Kagura said she is aiming to win the ICEx∞ Title this year too. She will win it from YuuRI!

A Super Kick & Death Valley Bomb combo from Asuka & Makoto put Ami Manase down for the count. This may also be the last time we see Marika Kobashi in GanJo for a while because she is visiting England in August to spend the rest of her summer studying.

Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI was a match between two former wrestlers who made their starts in Actwres girl’Z. SAKI won the match but Hasegawa refused to shake her hand afterwards. She explained backstage that shaking hands like that would end her story with SAKI. She wants to get stronger and face SAKI again to keep that story going. When SAKI heard that was the reason, she asked if she can bring in wrestlers from her Color’s unit to turn this situation into a promotional rivalry against GanJo.

One of of Ice Ribbon’s former wrestlers returned to the ring at this GanJo show. Banny Oikawa had her comeback match teaming with Miyako Matsumoto, the woman responsible for convincing her to enter GanJo. Sadly Oikawa’s big return was spoiled by Cherry & Alex Lee. Cherry used her Sakuran Bokari submission hold to make Oikawa give up and lose the match. Still, Oikawa is committed to the return and announced she will be back in GanJo for their 11th August show. She wants to work her way up to GanPro so she can wrestle in mixed gender matches.

In a battle of the night life hostesses Sumire Natsu defeated Riara. The match consisted of Natsu pouring a bottle of champagne over her opponent and also attacking her with a whip until the referee stopped her. Natsu knocked the ref down but that led to Riara grabbing the whip and using it to fight back. However Natsu regained control of the match and pinned Riara with the Shining Wizard. Then after the match Riara unexpectedly asked Natsu if she wanted to form a tag team together! Natsu didn’t give her a straight answer. Instead she said pro wrestling and the entertainment business both value connections so they will meet again some day.

Yuna Manase appeared at the beginning of the show, thanking the fans for making up the biggest attendance yet for a GanJo show.
