GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Sentaro Motoshima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase defeated Sentaro Motoshima with an Elbow Butt (10:52).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (9:50).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI when Takeda pinned YuuRI with the U-Crush (12:10).
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Yumehito Imanari defeated Ken Ohka with the Lariat (14:03).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) defeated Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Katsumura submitted Haruhi with the Ninja Choke (18:03).
*V1 for Sussun Katsun.

There was plenty of support for Moeka Haruhi inside Shin-Kiba 1st RING this evening. She received a bouquet from members of the Kofu Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division before the main event. When Rydeen Hagane was tagged in early, Shuichiro Katsumura tried luring her into a grappling contest by lying on his back. He abandoned the strategy when the plan wasn’t opening up and opportunity for him to win. In fact, Hagane turned out to be a lot for Katsumura & Yuya Susumu to handle because they struggled to keep her down. They were finally able to get rid of her and wear down Haruhi with big moves so Katsumura could submit her with the Ninja Choke for a successful Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles defence.

After the match, Katsumura said that it does not matter in Ganbare☆Pro if you are a man or a woman. The GanPro ring is where strong, hard working people rise to the top. Sussun Katsun will now wait for their next challengers and they welcome Hagane to challenge them as many times as she wants. Haruhi echoed those sentiments backstage where she told reporters there is no glass ceiling in GanPro. Anyone whether they are male or female can challenge for championships here if they have the qualifications. Back in the ring, the champs promoted Susumu’s big match in FREEDOMS tomorrow where he will fight for the King Of FREEDOM Jr. Heavyweight Title. Susumu promised to take the spirit of GanPro with him so he can win that championship. Mizuki Watase then got into the ring. He is also on tomorrow’s FREEDOMS show where he will be defending the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Jun Kasai! He encourages everyone in GanPro to go take over FREEDOMS.

The third match held this year to celebrate Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary took place today. Yumehito Imanari is fed up of these matches getting booked and although he won the match, he wasn’t able to beat the idea out of Ohka. After the match he told Ohka it is a pro wrestler’s job to work hard and find reasons to fight. Using anniversaries as a crutch this much defeats that purpose. Somebody had to call Ohka out on it so Imanari took it upon himself to do it. From now on he will call out anyone in GanPro for saying something stupid otherwise GanPro isn’t going to make it! He already heard rumours that Ohka wants to have matches for his 25th Anniversary and also for his 50th birthday next year. If these kind of matches are here to stay then Imanari will book one of his own on 22nd September to celebrate his 41st birthday! And unlike Ohka, he’s come up with a good reason for it to happen too. He wants to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on his birthday! Since Watase has the title match against Kasai happening tomorrow, Michiyoshi Mishima told Imanari he will wait until he gets the result of that match before he decides to grant Imanari a title shot on his birthday. Meanwhile Ohka did not learn his lesson and had already booked a fourth match to celebrate his 25th Anniversary later this year! He is going to face HARASHIMA on 31st October at GanPro’s next Korkauen Hall event.

Continuing the anniversary talk, it’s been just over a year since Sentaro Motoshima had his debut match. He fought Watase one on one in the opener and fell to Watase’s Elbow Butt. Watase told him after the match he did not hold back against him in order to show what the difference is between them right now. He looks forward to seeing Motoshima reach the point where he can challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. Motoshima must learn what didn’t work for him against Watase today and use that knowledge to climb up to the top.

Some regional conflict popped up again after the show. Ohka rallied up members of Team Toyama after the show to make plans for GanPro’s trip Yokohama on 22nd September. Katsumura interrupted their meeting on behalf of the Naka Ward Association and promised to gather his own wrestlers to fight Team Toyama at that show.

The lineup now includes more wrestlers from the Southeast Asian scene, Mr. Bueno defending the BK-G Openweight Title against Super Sasadango Machine, the now brainwashed Antonio Honda fighting for Ueki’s Magic Kingdom and Minoru Fujita paying a visit to face Mr. Malo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shion Kanzaki Vs Momo Sato
2. Sakura Hattori Vs Haru Kazashiro
3. Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida

6. Miu Watanabe, Arisu Endo & Ren Konatsu Vs Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
7. Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Hiroyo Matsumoto & Shoko Nakajima
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi

We’ve come a long way from Suzume becoming a pro wrestler because she looked up to Rika Tatsumi. Now it is their fate to fight over the Tokyo Princess Cup! It will be the first time the final will pit one champion against the other, Suzume being the International Princess Champion and Tatsumi holding one of the Princess Tag Team Titles.

The two losing semi-finalists have to deal with the consolation prize of teaming up together HIMAWARI & Toga will be facing a newly motivated Chika Nanase (her homecoming show was recently announced) and the returning Kira Summer.

Whenever Tokyo Joshi Pro has two rookies who have yet to win a match it will be inevitable that they will be put in a match against each other so one of them can earn their first victory. Shion Kanzaki and Momo Sato are now being put in that position together.

Earlier this week a new Twitter account appeared and attracted the attention of the TJPW locker room. Over the following days it posted teases until today when it was revealed to be Tojojo, the brand new TJPW mascot. The promotion has been brainstorming on creating a mascot for a while now with everyone in the promotion drawing concept art of what it should look like. But what’s catching everyone there off guard is Tojojo has immediately claimed it will also be the new TJPW Manager. What that means we just have to wait and see.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
3. Sentaro Motoshima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Sentaro Motoshima
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Ken Ohka Vs Yumehito Imanari
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane

The pair now called Sussun Katsun have become the new Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. They made the same mistake a lot of champions make by saying they will take on any challenge thrown at them then get surprised when the challenge immediately appears in front of them. Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane have joined forces, describing their tag team like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also doesn’t want everyone to forget that she was one of the first women to work with Ganbare☆Pro well before the Ganbare☆Joshi division was ever established. So if there is any wrestler who deserves to fight for a GanPro championship, it’s her.

Is three commemorative matches too much to celebrate one anniversary? Ken Ohka is enjoying his 25th year in wrestling so much he doesn’t want the good time to end. He challenge his good pal Yumehito Imanari to a singles match so he too can join in on the fun. Unfortunately Imanari has gotten fed up with GanPro relying on wrestler anniversaries so often to promote their big matches. There are other stories these matches can be booked around you know! Imanari will take the match with Ohka but only so he can take his anger out on Ohka for being so greedy.

To make things a little more awkward, young Sentaro Motoshima is going to celebrate the first anniversary of his debut match on the same show. Don’t worry Motoshima, Imanari’s not mad at you. I’m sure of it.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Shinya Aoki Vs HARASHIMA Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ No Tag Rules: Yuki Ueno, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
4. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

From the mind of Yuki Ueno he will conjure up the trio of himself, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki has a possibly united force. The idea he has in mind is to put three skillful wrestlers together for a match against three young opponents who all have a world of potential ahead of them. Those three youngsters are Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato. The immediate reaction from Sasaki is unhappiness that he and Ilusion will be on opposite teams.

Three days after Shinya Aoki fights in RIZIN, he will be returning to DDT for a 3 Way Match. If he gets beaten badly by Mikuru Asakura then maybe HARASHIMA and Akito could both take it easy on him.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

It all depends on how things are going with DAMNATION T.A over the next month. Ilusion has become addicted to collecting championships so he went and challenged Strange Love Connection all by himself without consulting the rest of the unit. Sasaki seems to be okay with it which would continue his current apathetic behavior over who ultimately calls the shots within the group. Hideki Okatani will be on the challenger team looking for a chance to become a champion again so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title. SLC accepted Ilusion’s challenge because Viento Levante wants to beat him. KANON will also likely be motivated to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against the stable he once held the belts with before they kicked him out. Yukio Naya is just having a good time because it was his birthday recently and he gets to hang out with his friends a lot.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026” Results

August 15, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
576 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga, Shota Kawakami & Guts Ishijima defeated Keisuke Ishii, Sentaro Motoshima & SUSHI when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with the FOX・JUMP・OVER (8:37).
2. Rydeen Hagane defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Moonsault Press (6:55).
3. Yumehito Imanari defeated Hyo Ogawa with the Lariat (8:33).
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Masashi Takeda defeated Isami Kodaka, Chris Brookes & Fuminori Abe when Ohka pinned Kodaka with the Flame Spear (12:20).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) when Katsumura submitted Wada with the Modified Ninja Choke (11:47).
*The Deadlock fails in V3. Sussun Katsun become the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team champions!
6. Yamazaki Electric Presents – Special Single Match: Takumi Iroha defeated YuuRI with the Running Three (14:23).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Elbow To You, Dear (23:18).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event brought back the days of RENEGADES with Mizuki Watase entering the ring wearing a suit to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Shigehiro Irie. It was a match where Watase surpassed his close friend, almost knocking him out with Elbow Strikes. He also used a version of the Venetian that looked a lot like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on the same day that Hiroyoshi Tenzan was retiring from wrestling. Irie was still conscious from the strikes and had enough whereabotus to tell the referee not to stop the match. Instead, Irie continued to take the blows for one last stand until he fell towards Watase. He was caught and Watase thanked Irie before knocking him down with one last Elbow Strike and pinning him to win.

Watase thanked Irie again after the match and joked he can bring him to Disney Land sometime. Watase is proud to say everything he learned in wrestling was taught to him by Irie and he will become the greatest masterpiece Irie has ever trained. Irie didn’t want to take the credit and told Watase he did it all by himself. He remembers a beautiful show they saw together at Disney Land that featured a line once said by Walt Disney: “It’s just been a sort of dress rehearsal, and we’re just getting started.” Watase and Irie are only just getting started too. Later backstage Irie described the match as a “Dramatic Dream”. Watase understands that and does not forget where the two of them came from.

Takumi Iroha had been looking forward to her first singles match with YuuRI today. She always thought she had a knack for wrestling and the pre-match comments from YuuRI about surpassing her idol sounded kind of scary to her. Iroha is used to younger wrestlers who pick fights with her having a chip on their shoulder but she found it refreshing to see YuuRI express herself without trying to act cool about it. Iroha enjoyed wrestling her today and looks forward to crushing her again and again. YuuRI said she would give it her all to start a big revolution today but it didn’t happen. But if her performance motivated the fans to work harder then she can accept that result with no regrets.

New champions were crowned earlier in the show when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated The Deadlock to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Katsumura & Susumu also now have the team name Sussun Katsun. The MMA fighting vibes were felt throughout the match when Tyson Maeguchi pulled a tyre out to lure Katsumura into a Tyre Boxing fight. However the referee refused to let that happen and got rid of it. Katsumura ended up putting Takuya Wada into a Ninja Choke and tapped him out while Susumu held back Maeguchi in a Crossface. The Deadlock have said they want to remain a team after losing the titles but they may also go fight each other in a singles match to push each other into improving more.

After the match, Katsumura said there is no other 50 year old like him. Susumu can’t say that because he is 43. Sussun Katsun then opened themselves up to be challenged by anybody. Rydeen Hagane walked out to answer their call followed by her opponent earlier in the night Moeka Haruhi. The two decided they have to be the first challengers for the new tag champions. Katsumura & Susumu attempted to cheap shot them but Hagane knocked the both of them down with a Double Lariat. She and Haruhi then posed with the title belts. Backstage Haruhi described her team with Hagane like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also said she is the original Ganbare☆Joshi, having first appeared in GanPro during its debut year in 2013 as Gorikiko. So she thinks she definitely deserves to be a champion here!

Ken Ohka felt like he had a great day today. He took on a rare double booking at Korakuen Hall where he won both matches. First he beat Yumi Ohka in a Ohka Contra Ohka match that main evented a WAVE show (Yumi now cannot use the name Ohka for the next two and a half months) then later here in GanPro he scored the winning fall in a 6-Man Tag Match that continued the celebration of his 25th Anniversary in wrestling. Even more impressive, he pinned Isami Kodaka to get that second win. Now he’s feeling so good about this anniversary he wants to hold a third match to celebrate it and challenged Yumehito Imanari. However, Imanari got angry at the idea because he thinks Ganbare☆Pro has been relying too much on anniversaries in general lately to book their matches instead of coming up with other storylines. It’s annoying enough that Ohka wants a third commemorative match to begin with.

Today was the final GanPro show for referee Nido Teshima. He is the referee for TTT Pro Wrestling and will be retiring on 1st September, 2027 but today was his last appearance in GanPro. The roster gifted Teshima with a bouquet and celebrated with him to end the show.

Wrestle Peter Pan Lineup, Shinjuku’s Last Fighting Beer Garden, F’ed Up Fest III

July 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

Four spaces in the Quarter Finals have been taken, four more are left to be filled. We’ll find out who is joining Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Arisu Endo and HIMAWARI on Thursday.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Raku (c) Vs Yuki Iino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Akito Vs Soma Takao Vs Fuminori Abe Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs MJ Paul Vs Ilusion Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
3. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs Jun Akiyama & Rukiya
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki
6. Special Single Match: YAMATO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & DOUKI Vs Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo
8. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
9. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
10. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
11. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Asset Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

This is the full lineup for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” but the match order has not been decided yet outside of the main event. Yuki Ueno got one over on MAO this past weekend by making him tap out to a Sleeper Hold. He thinks MAO isn’t hitting the heights of his potential for what should be the most important KO-D Openweight Title challenge of his career. MAO is certain he still has that crazy side of himself, it’s just that he has matured a little bit so he can be ready to become DDT’s champion.

There is a shadow following Hideki Okatani’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion that he needs to vanquish next. He needs to defend the belt against Shunma Katsumata! They have fought over the title two times before with Katsumata winning both times as champion. The first match in 2023 was an important stepstone for Okatani because it was his entry into hardcore wrestling. That match was also where Katsumata injured his leg and had to vacate the title afterwards. When he returned and won it back in 2024, Okatani was one of Katsumata’s first defences during that title reign.

A partnership forged in fire has made Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki decide to chase after the KO-D Tag Team Titles together. They previously fought Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA for No. 1 Contendership over the titles back in March. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC won that match and went on to become the champions so there is plenty of setup for the rematch.

DDT are giving Hinata Kasai a tough challenge if he wants to get his first win while teaming with his dad Jun Kasai. They will take on Jun Akiyama and his DDT protege Rukiya.

Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi are joining forces after years of being enemies inside the ring, outside the ring, at an empty Tokyo Dome and even on a bullet train. The strength of their alliance will depend on how annoying Kazuki Hirata & To-y will be in front of them.

Speaking of bullet trains, Raku now holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the champion will get a bullet train pass for one year to use whenever DDT books them for shows held outside of Tokyo. I’m not sure if that also applies to Tokyo Joshi Pro if Raku gets the prize.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 3】”, 13/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Special Dark Match: Ilusion Vs Yoshihiko
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs To-y
2. Enter Sandman Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The final set of Beer Garden shows to be held in Shinjuku FACE will happen in August and the usual match gimmicks will be held there. Miyawaki gets to join in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match for the first time. Ilusion and Yoshihiko are also having a pre-show rematch of their Korakuen Hall dark match from April. Last but not least, Kumadori will be on the show.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki
2. Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y

It’s up to Daisuke Sasaki to deal with the fake forms of himself that have been showing up recently. Keisuke Ishii gets to host his Lariat Pro Wrestling match in Shinjuku FACE for one last time.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii, SUSHI & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Shinichiro Tominaga, Guts Ishijima & Shota Kawakami
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Rydeen Hagane
3. Yumehito Imanari Vs Hyo Ogawa
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Masashi Takeda & Akira Shoji Vs Chris Brookes, Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

The Toyama Army that Ken Ohka’s been gathering together has a new member. Masashi Takeda is not from Toyama but apparantly his dad is and he’s visited the area enough times in his life to qualify for membership. There is no disputing that Akira Shoji is part of the team.

Moeka Haruhi and Rydeen Hagane were not on the same page during their tag match over the weekend. They blamed each other for losing that match so the obvious direction to go is have them wrestle each other to settle their differences.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki

It’s been over a year since Kota Sekifuda left Big Japan to go freelance. The first anniversary of his debut in Baka Gaijin + Friends is happening in August too so his present is a match against Minoru Suzuki.

The live music lineup for “FUCKED UP FEST 2026” includes a lot of bands with wrestlers in it. They are Dos Quatro (MAO), Daisetz (Antonio Honda), NωA Jr. (Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni), Channel D (Daisuke Sasaki) and Super P And The Space Bandits (Filipino wrestler Super P). So those might be the clues as to who else will be wrestling on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026” Results

July 25, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon defeated Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear (10:40).
2. YuuRI defeated Echika Miyabi with a Camel Clutch Sleeper Hold (11:13).
3. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura by Referee Stoppage after a Knee Strike (11:31).
4. Takuya Wada defeated Yuya Susumu by Referee Stoppage with a Triangle Choke (12:20).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI when Irie pinned Kawakami with a Lariat (19:24).

The Team Dream Futures reunion was a successful one after they defeated Mizuki Watase’s side. Shigehiro Irie doesn’t want to spend much time in the past however. He hears from fans so often that they used to watch him a lot or they used to like him. Irie wants to show everyone that right now he is alive and well in the wrestling world. He will prove it by winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Watase at Korakuen Hall on 15th August. Watase then brought up all the times he travelled with Irie around the world from America to Germany. He believes Irie is still the best wrestler he knows which is why he wants to defend the title against him. He does not want to hear any talk about injuries or surgeries from either side from now until the match has ended. Instead he told Irie they should show everyone the best 15th August ever!

Both preview matches for the 15th August Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles bout ended in Referee Stoppages. Tyson Maeguchi knocked out Shuichiro Katsumura after catching him with a Knee Strike while Takuya Wada held Yuya Susumu in a Triangle Choke until the referee had to step in. Katsumura has no memory of how his match ended but he thinks he won while Susumu claims he had Wada pinned in a Cradle for the three count before he passed out in the Triangle Choke. The Deadlock couldn’t help but laugh when they heard that both of their opponents thought they had won. They think next time they should beat them in a way that they will still remember afterwards.

The finish to the opening match happened after Rydeen Hagane accidentally hit Moeka Haruhi with a Lariat, leading to Ken Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear afterward. When Haruhi recovered she got into a fight with Hagane after the match and the two blamed each other for losing. Ohka broke things up and decided a match between Haruhi and Hagane will happen at the 15th August Korakuen show.

At the end of the show Ohka revealed his partners for the 6-Man Tag Match on 15th August. His first partner is going to be Akira Shoji but before he could announce his second, Shinichiro Tominaga walked in and complained about not being chosen. He asked why and Ohka said it is because the other partner will be Masashi Takeda! According to Ohka, Masada is allowed to join the Toyama Army because his father is from Toyama and he also spent many summer vacations in the area when he was a student. SUSHI then appeared asking to be booked for the show but Ohka rejected him. Luckily for SUSHI, he later got the booking anyway and he will be part of the undercard at Korakuen.

Sweet Secret, Mune’s ACL Injury, Super Japan Sends Off Shinjuku FACE

July 7, 2026

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026
Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

0. Dark Match – Nariagari Showcase: Tawaramachi Kid Jr., Super Nikuyaki Machine & Ariji Akinori Vs Benio, Tataiki Torinomi & TAKUYA
1. Shunma Katsumata & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
2. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki
4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

The wrestlers from Nariagari have been chosen for the dark match. I recognize a few of those names from previous appearances. Couldn’t tell you what they’ve accomplished since then though.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga
4. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Sweet Secret
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We have a mystery on our hands. Mizuki is taking on an unknown opponent who is only being advertised as “Sweet Secret“. If that name by itself is a clue then it’s the only one we’ve got so far.

One of the undercard tag matches is following up on a few things from earlier this year. MIRAI & Toga are teaming up again for a match against Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. That means it’s another meeting between MIRAI and Haru Kazashiro after their really good singles match last month.

The debut of Momo Sato sees her getting thrown into the ring with the three other shortest term wrestlers in Tokyo Joshi Pro at the moment.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Ali Najima
2. FUMA Vs SAGAT
3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Thanomsak Toba
4. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda Vs Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

This is the go-home show before BASARA heads back to Korakuen Hall next month. Champions and challengers all mixing it up with each other is the name of the game in the main event. Shuji Ishikawa is teaming with Yankee Two Kenju given all of their history together while Takumi Tsukamoto is joining up with Aijin Tag.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI Vs Echika Miyabi
2. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon Vs Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane
3. Takuya Wada Vs Yuya Susumu
4. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & X Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

The 6-Man Tag Match was supposed to have Munetatsu Nakamura in it but unfortunately he injured his right knee at the Ganbare☆Pro show over the weekend. He has since been diagnosed with a ruptured ACL and will be out of action for the time being.

A sudden civil war over the Toyama region is now turning into a little inter-promotional match with PURE-J. After the last GanPro show Ken Ohka declined to include Yumehito Imanari into his Toyama based group of wrestlers so Imanari went and formed his own Anti-Toyama team with Sentaro Motoshima & Moeka Haruhi both agreeing to join him. Rydeen Hagane from PURE-J fills out his group. Ohka has bolstered up his forces by bringing in Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga as well as PURE-J’s Leon.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Pray for Mizuki Watase to come out of the match in one piece. The last time Shigehiro Irie fought for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he lost to Imanari but still beat him up bad enough that he was left in rough shape for weeks afterward. Now Watase wants to defend the title against his good friend even though Irie is kind of feeling like he’s past his peak. Maybe for Watase’s physical sake let’s hope that is the case.

Shuichiro Katsumura once held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Takuya Wada. Now he is trying to win them off him. Yuya Susumu is getting his first crack at winning a GanPro championship and maybe he can get it if Tyson Maeguchi is feeling a little punch drunk by the time the match takes place.

No word yet on if Nakamura’s match with Chris Brookes will be cancelled because of his knee injury. There is currently no timeframe for his return.

It’s time again for YuuRI to try and take down one of her idols. Takumi Iroha is her next big name joshi opponent.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Satoshi Kojima

Previously DDT had this date booked but it is now going to be a Super Japan show. It will be a special one because it is happening two days before Shinjuku FACE closes down for good. Headlining this important show will be a battle pitting Super Japan against New Japan. Where else could Yuji Nagata against Satoshi Kojima ever be put together?!?
