GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
617 Fans

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuna Manase defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) with a School Boy (?:??).
*Yuna Manase becomes the 1,794th champion.
1. Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima defeated Jun Kasai, Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Shota Kawakami when Nakamura pinned Maeguchi with the Rolling German Suplex (13:36).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Mixed 4-Way Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-chan, Yuna Manase (c) & Takashi Sasaki and HARUKAZE & Hartley Jackson when Ohka pinned Manase with the Spear Of Flame (10:19).
*Ken Ohka becomes the 1,795th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Ken Ohka (c) with a School Boy (?:??).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1796th champion.
3. Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Akira Shoji with the Triple Three 3 Lock (10:24).
4. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: Sareee defeated YuuRI with the Uranage (14:09).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) when Tominaga pinned Tsukamoto with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (18:33).
*Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto fail in V4. Touchable become the 5th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Triangle Kick (18:03).
*V4 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

What looked like the crowning moment of Keisuke Ishii’s career just wasn’t going to happen in the end thanks to Masaaki Mochizuki. Ishii withstood Mochizuki’s kick heavy offence to deal big damage with the Kneel Kick. But the Exploder Suplex and High Angle Double Arm DDT afterwards couldn’t put Mochizuki away. Ishii showed his own toughness by kicking out of the Shin Saikyou High Kick as well as the Twister. Mochizuki had to use the Triangle Kick to finally put him away for a successful Spirit Of Ganbare World Title defence. After the match Mochizuki said he was aware that for the last three years the SOG World Title changed hands on Ganbare☆Pro’s final show of the year so he felt under pressure to break that streak. When he asked who will challenge him in 2026, Munetatsu Nakamura entered the ring and talked about how frustrating it is to see another company’s wrestler close out the show instead of somebody from GanPro. He admits he doesn’t have the track record to deserve a title shot but he wants to challenge Mochizuki for the championship! Mochizuki listened to the positive response from the fans and also said he loves fighting young wrestlers. However just like he is doing it this year, he said he will close out GanPro’s final show in 2026 too!

There was some good fortune coming GanPro’s way because Touchable won the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team, bringing the belts back to their home company. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga didn’t have much time to celebrate with their newly won belts because Shuichiro Katsumura walked out and told them that he and Minoru Suzuki will challenge them for the titles on 11th January! Touchable believe they themselves are two wrestlers who have good (if perverted) personalities and that might be enough to beat the worst tempered wrestler in the world! Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto do believe that the friendship between Imanari & Tominaga was what won them the belts in the end today. The BASARA team doesn’t have that and ended up asking each other what do that have? They guess it’s either the power of love or the power of evil.

The start of a busy period for Sareee kicked off with her visiting GanPro for a big match celebrating YuuRI’s five years in the wrestling business. While Sareee came out on tope, she also leaves the show feeling impressed with YuuRI’s growth. She thinks the five year point is an important time for a wrestler and believes YuuRI can reach even greater heights as long as she does not become complacent. YuuRI had mixed emotions after the match. She feels satisfied that her request to fight Sareee in a singles match came true but she knows she shouldn’t be satisfied from losing. She now considers Sareee to be a rival and is certain she can one day beat her.

Katsumura’s match with Akira Shoji had plenty of Japanese MMA flavour to it. Caol Uno was there in Shoji’s corner while Yuji Shimada served as the referee for the match. Katsumura got a definitive submission win over Shoji, enough to claim that GanPro has defeated PRIDE FC (and while we’re at it K’z FACTORY gym defeated Keishukai gym) and there will be no rematch! Shoji admitted he didn’t realize until during the match just how difficult pro wrestling can be and he felt Katsumura was always one step ahead of him. However he also liked how warm hearted the response of the GanPro fans was to him and he would like to try pro wrestling again. Watching Ken Ohka work so hard for GanPro has ignited his spirit as well, which is why he came to GanPro today.

Mahiro Kiryu lost the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at the start of the show before her scheduled match could even begin. Yuna Manase rolled her up during the show opening call to become the new champ. Then in the 4 Way Tag Match, Ohka pinned Manase with the Spear Of Flame to win the title for himself. Kiryu then rolled up Ohka from behind, pinning her own tag partner to win the belt back. Meanwhile Takashi Sasaki told Manase they should continue teaming together despite losing the match.

At the start of the show Katsumura announced GanPro will be holding auditions for new trainees. Manase said there are no age restrictions and she in particular is looking for an apprentice.

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

Last month Daiki Shimomura got to face MJ2 for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles at a 2AW show. He and Lil’ Kraken lost the match and the champions have no interest in fighting him again despite his demand for another shot. However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Another DDT throwback shows back for Super Japan’s next show. In the early 2000s Phantom Funakoshi wrestled in DDT using a masked gimmick called “Showa”. Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha Vs Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Shota

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.

Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

December 11, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (11:16).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.
2. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (2) (c) defeated FUMA (1).
2a. Ayumu Honda (1) defeated FUMA (0) by Disqualification for ignoring the referee’s orders (2:44).
2b. FUMA (1) defeated Ayumu Honda (1) with a Kimura Lock (1:29).
2c. Ayumu Honda (2) defeated FUMA (1) with a Seoi-nage (1:42).
*V3 for Ayumu Honda.
3. TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI (c) defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita when KURO-OBI submitted Kraken with an Ankle Lock (10:13).
*V3 for Kokutai Gundan.
4. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Bloody Sunday (12:46).
*V4 for Kosuke Sato.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Seiya Morohashi with La Magistral Cradle (17:16).
*V6 for Ryota Nakatsu.

A close shave for Ryota Nakatsu almost put an end to his Union MAX Title reign before his big defence at the end of the year. Seiya Morohashi countered the V Slider into the Crippler Crossface and Nakatsu got out of it to pin him with La Magistral Cradle. He praised Morohashi after the match for being such a noble macho man and then sent a message to Shuji Ishikawa for their title match on 28th December. The match was already on the schedule but Nakatsu felt it would be pointless if he didn’t publicly challenge Ishikawa beforehand. Backstage he said he now has new moves like La Magistral and the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock that will give him a good chance to beat Ishikawa. Morohashi complained that he didn’t lose and promised to keep appearing in BASARA to get revenge.

Both Takato Nakano and Kosuke Sato have known each other since high school and have trained together at the Hamaguchi Dojo. They were able to convince Big Japan and BASARA to let them have a BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title today. It was Nakano’s third shot at the championship but he couldn’t win it here. He has one more chance coming up on 30th December when BJW is holding a 6-Man Championship Scramble style match with Sato and Nakano both taking part. Sato wanted to see Isami Kodaka at today’s show but he wasn’t there so he left a message for him to get better and come back soon.

The entire show consisted of nothing but title matches up and down the card. Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI have formed a team in TTT called Kokutai Gundan and they all wrestle while wearing black belts. They are the current TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Champions and they were able to successfully defend them against the Super Family.

The YJF Cruiserweight Title is defended in Best 2 Out Of 3 Matches where only throws and grappling moves are permitted. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi served as the referee for the title match and even disqualified FUMA in the first match when he kept ignoring his instructions. FUMA made up for it in the second match by quickly tapping out Ayumu Honda with a Kimura Lock. But in the deciding round Honda scored the winning point with a Judo throw to retain the championship. After the match Daiki Shimomura walked out and demanded another shot at the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Hiroshi spoke on behalf of Honda and said he wouldn’t fight a weakling like Shimomura again. But when Shimomura invited Takumi Tsukamoto out to be his tag partner, Hiroshi said Honda is interested in fighting him so they can do the title match on 27th December.

Last but not least, Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue to defend the Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title. Five title matches on the show and none of them changed hands.

The Final Road Towards The End Of The Year Starts Now

December 2, 2025

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. 18th Anniversary Special Single Match ~ A Match Of Hate?: Chris Brookes Vs X
3. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

According to Chris Brookes on Twitter, today’s big show for Baka Gaijin + Friends has sold out of tickets!

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025”, 03/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
2. Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Hideki Okatani & Demus
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs HARASHIMA, Akito & Kumadori
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano

Some new title programs have opened up for DDT’s last few weeks of the year. We also have what could be the last ROMANCE DAWN tag match for a while. More on why that is later.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya Vs Yasu Urano & Rekka
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan
3. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
4. Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
5. 3 Way Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO Vs Choun Shiryu
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Ilusion Vs Hinata Kasai
2. 3 Way Match: To-y Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida

This will be the last time in 2025 that MAO will get to wrestle in his home area.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

A new tag team has shown up to challenge Ober Eats! It’s familiar territory for Yuki Aino as she finds herself back to being a tag wrestler but she’s happy to hear that Haru Kazashiro wants to team with her. YukiHaru are wasting no time and have quickly made the Princess Tag Team Titles their target.

The guests announced for the show so far are Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, J-Rod and Max The Impaler.

Two of the matches ended up being draws including one between Takato Nakano and Daiki Shimomura that went to a twenty minute draw. The Bad Kids were able to win the series thanks to Ryota Nakatsu and FUMA winning their matches.

Daichi Kazato missed the show due to an illness. He was replaced by Shota Kawakami from Ganbare☆Pro in Match #2.

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025” Results

November 29, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
143 Fans

1. Choun Shiryu, Kaori Yoneyama & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi, Chika & MASA☆TAKA when Shiryu pinned TAKA with the Chinese Bombs Away (8:08).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Sentaro Motoshima when Imanari submitted Motoshima with a Bull Naked Choke (13:39).
3. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase, Rukiya & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (15:12).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI when Nakatsu submitted YuuRI with a Sleeper Hold (15:34).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (15:47).
*V3 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

Ken Ohka’s bad luck at fighting for singles championships continues as he failed to win his own promotion’s top title in his fourth attempt. He tried using a Dragon Suplex when the Spear Of Flame couldn’t get him the win but Masaaki Mochizuki wore him down with kicks until the Shin Saikyou High Kick finished the job. After the match Mochizuki said Ohka had gotten better since their previous match back in April but no matter how much Ohka closes the gap, Mochizuki will always be better than him. He then called out for someone to challenge him otherwise he will keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title going into 2026. Keisuke Ishii entered the ring and said he now believes he is the one to beat him. Mochizuki recognised Ishii because of his Kneel Kick and tried to remember if they competed in the same All Japan Jr. Heavyweight tournament about ten years ago. But he wants to see if his High Kick is better than Ishii’s Kneel Kick so the title match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th December. Ishii said he has main evented Korakuen six times but never won any of those matches. Mochizuki told him that what happened six times will happen seven times so be prepared.

Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI came so close to bringing the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home but a mistimed attack blew their chances. While Katsumura trapped Takumi Tsukamoto in an Ankle Lock, YuuRI grabbed Ryota Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold. Katsumura then went to throw a High Kick at Nakatsu but he ducked and YuuRI got hit instead. Nakatsu then put YuuRI in the Rear Naked Choke, forcing YuuRI to pass out in the move. While the champions celebrated their win, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga entered the ring to challenge them for the tag titles on 27th December. They are also now going by the tag team name Touchable and pointed out they are not some hastily put together duo like the recent batch of title challengers. Touchable have been wrestling together in Ganbare☆Pro as opponents and partners since April.

At the end of the show Ishii, Imanari & Tominaga were confronted by Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima and a fight broke out between the two groups. The younger wrestlers then challenged the veterans to a 6-Man Tag Match on 13th December and if they win, they will take the title shots booked for Korakuen Hall!

It was announced that Yuna Manase is bringing Toga and Chika Nanase from Tokyo Joshi Pro over for the 13th December show. The match will be Hot Shot against YuuRI & Nanase.

Good Kids Vs Bad Kids, Union MAX Title Picture Haunted By Union

November 21, 2025

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Is Ken Ohka going to go zero for two in meaningful title matches this month?

It looks like Rukiya is going to be a part timer with Ganbare☆Pro alongside his DDT bookings. When he said he’s trying to catch up to the rest of D GENERATONS he meant it.

BASARA “BASARA 293 ~TAKAGARI 30~”, 29/11/2025

The theme of the next BASARA show is a team of “Good Kids” taking on a team of “Bad Kids”. There is also the return of the dreaded Jacket Match. Ryota Nakatsu is ranked No. 4 on the alleged world rankings for jacket wrestling while Masato Kamino is unranked.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

The rest of the card will be unannounced until the show takes place. What we do know is who will be showing up. The usual Baka Gaijin + Friends crew will be there along with Fuminori Abe, Hagane Shinno and somehow Dr. Cube from Kaiju Big Battel will be appearing too. He won’t be coming alone either…

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Ohka caused some trouble over in BASARA by prematurely promising a Union MAX Title shot to a old colleague of his. Ohka couldn’t win the title from Ryota Nakatsu so now it is up to the champion to deliver on that promise. Since the promise revolved around Union Pro, Nakatsu decided he will first defend the title against another wrestler who used to cut his teeth in the now obsolete promotion, Seiya Morohashi.

The show will have another title match involving a connective past shared between the champion and challenger. Takato Nakano wants to face Kosuke Sato with the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title on the line. The two of them used to train together in the Hamaguchi Gym and Takato believes they are equally skilled where they currently stand.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The promise Ohka made was to give Shuji Ishikawa a Union MAX Title match. Ishikawa was Union’s ace for a good chunk of its decade long existence but he never held the Union MAX Title. It bothered Ohka that the championship was being used in BASARA instead of being held by a Union wrestler like himself or Ishikawa. So Nakatsu has taken on the promise to give Ishikawa a title match at BASARA’s last show of the year. If Morohashi wins the title first then he will be the one defending it against Ishikawa. It would be a bad look for BASARA for its big main event to turn into a Union Pro tribute match featuring only outsiders but it is a risk that Nakatsu is willing to take if it can help the company’s business.

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~” Results

November 18, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano and Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with a Spinning Crucifix Pin (10:40).
2. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Super Earth Reverse Spin Slam (8:50).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Running Zudon (8:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when FUMA submitted Kawakami with an Arm Bar (10:58).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the V Slider (13:24).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The main event was a battle between the BASARA boss and the Ganbare☆Pro boss over the future of the Union MAX Title. The challenger Ken Ohka felt he deserved to take the championship as one of the few remaining Union Pro wrestlers still around. However Ryota Nakatsu withstood the Spear Of Flame and turned it into the V Slider to defend the championship. After the match Nakatsu confronted Ohka over a rumour that he already offered title match to somebody on 28th December if he ha become the champion today. Ohka admitted he did and the person he made the offer to was the one wrestler you think of above anyone else when it comes to Union Pro, Shuji Ishikawa!

28th December is the only date Ishikawa has available for the rest of the year so Ohka decided they could do the title match on that day’s BASARA show. Nakatsu thought about it and pointed out that Seiya Morohashi is also still active. Ohka then admitted he was going to give him a title shot on the 27th December BASARA show. Nakatsu decided he will give Morohashi a MAX Title shot on 11th December and the champion coming out of it will then defend the belt against Ishikawa on the 28th. He is aware that this plan can backfire and turn BASARA’s final show of the year into a Union Pro memorial!

Three days ago Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken went over to 2AW and lost to MJ2 in a failed attempt to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA. After his match today, Shimomura said he isn’t giving up chasing after the title and now wants Takumi Tsukamoto to help get the belts back. Tsukamoto made sure that Shimomura is motivated enough to do that before accepting to team up with him.

Takato Nakano threw out a challenge to Kosuke Sato for the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title. The two have known each other through the Hamaguchi Gym ever since Nakano moved to Tokyo when he was 18 years old. He thinks Sato is the wrestler most like himself and also the person he would like to wrestle the most.

Tomorrow is a big day for D GENERATIONS because their next show is in Shinjuku FACE rather than the outdoor theater at Ueno Park. There’s also a few young New Japan wrestlers involved too.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

An extra caveat of the Weapon Rumble is the weapons must be bought using only money that To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have won from gambling in the leadup to the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee

It’s been five years of YuuRI but can she make it to six when Sareee is standing in her way?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Ittenyon is getting something completely fresh for its headline match. As far as I know, Miu Watanabe and Suzume have only had two previous singles matches together and they were both in 2022. The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025” Results

November 9, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Fisherman Buster (9:53).
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa defeated Haruka Umesaki & Soy when YuuRI submitted Soy with a Spiral Dragon Sleeper (12:05).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase when Johnson pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife Pin (11:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Kneel Kick (11:53).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu by Referee Stoppage when Nakatsu used a Rear Naked Choke on Shiryu (18:52).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (19:57).
*V2 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

This was Yuna Manase’s second chance at becoming the first woman to win a Spirit Of Ganbare Championship. She is now also the second woman Masaaki Mochizuki ever had a singles match against, the first being Sakura Hirota twelve years ago. He wasn’t comfortable at first having to fight Manase but took her seriously when she went on the attack from the start of the match. Manase was able to kick out of the Twister but was pretty much out on her feet so Mochizuki finished her off with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (right leg instead of the left leg). He told her afterwards she doesn’t need to say anything about the match because everyone who came to see it understood it very well. He’s now starting to love wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro because of how fun it is and looks forward to facing his next challenger. He then helped walk Manase out of the ring and back to the locker room. Backstage Manase said she just had a championship match against Masaaki Mochizuki so she can absolutely call herself a pro wrestler and be proud of it.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka approached Michiyoshi Mishima and begged for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title shot so he can do his part to protect GanPro. He also thinks as the founder of the company it would be fitting if he was the one to beat Mochizuki for the title. Mishima said if Mochizuki will agree to it, he will put the match together. When Mochizuki learned of the idea, he pointed out that Ohka couldn’t beat Shuichiro Katsumura in the previous No. 1 Contender match. But he accepts the challenge and is confident he will beat Ohka in five minutes. GanPro is trying to get the match booked for their 29th November show in Tokyo but they are aware that Dragon Gate also has a show taking place in Okinawa that day.

Ohka had a chance on this show to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles but it didn’t turn out that way in the end. Choun Shiryu did a big stunt dive from the top of a wall onto Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto but back in the ring Ohka accidentally hit him with the Flame Spear. Nakatsu took advantage and clamped a Rear Naked Choke onto Shiryu until the referee decided to stop the match. The BASARA team then found out who is next to challenge them. YuuRI came out and said she doesn’t want to be confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division so she is challenging them to a title match! When it was pointed out that she doesn’t have a partner, Katsumura joined her side and said a tomboy like YuuRI needs a guardian like himself. The title match will go ahead on 29th November.

The reason why YuuRI made that challenge is because she is currently riding on a big confidence boost. That was caused by her announcement earlier in the show that she will be facing Sareee at Korakuen Hall on 27th December! The match will celebrate YuuRI’s 5th Anniversary in wrestling and she promises it won’t just be a dream match. She will use everything she has accumulated in the last five years together to beat Sareee!

Moeka Haruhi will return from her hiatus on the 29th November show.
