Look it’s pro wrestling, retirements and final matches do not matter. So here’s another Crocodile Death Match. Let’s hope Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t lose his composure over past crocodile related trauma right before it takes place again.

With Soma Takao leaving soon, all of the Dropkick Bar wrestlers want to send him off with their own version of the Drunk Match.

Takao was among Kazuki Hirata’s first opponents during Hirata’s first month as a debuting rookie. That was around 16 and a half years ago. Here’s one more singles match between them for old time’s sake.

Kamiyu’s last singles match of the month is against her Ober Eats partner, Wakana Uehara. As the days count down toward her retirement it will soon be time to wonder what her final match is going to be. Maybe TJPW will put on one of their wacky Gauntlet or Rumble matches so she gets to fight everybody in short bursts one last time each.

It has been noted by TJPW that the challenger selection is not limited to Asia and it is possible Nakajima’s opponent could be from anywhere around the world. At this point in her career, Nakajima has become an accomplished wrestler who has competed worldwide and is ready to be tested by whoever TJPW or SETUP can find.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura

A few weeks back Naomi Yoshimura let everyone know that he asked DDT for to book a particular opponent for his 10th Anniversary match scheduled for October. DDT honored his request and it’s now been revealed his opponent is going to be Zeus! The Osaka strongman was the person who originally opened the doors for Yoshimura to get into pro wrestling through his bodybuilding gym. When Yoshimura graduated from high school, he trained under Zeus and credits him for turning his dream of becoming a pro wrestler into reality. Zeus has kept himself busy these past few years with running Osaka Pro, the company he was successfully able to revive back in 2022. He doesn’t wrestle outside of his home promotion that often so for DDT to get him on board for a match that means a lot to Yoshimura is quite a big deal.

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.

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.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The Sweet Secret has been revealed. Mizuki’s opponent next weekend is going to be Willow Nightingale! The announcement came shortly after Nightingale made her return from a shoulder injury in AEW last night. She has a lot of plans on the horizon and one of them is to wrestle in Tokyo Joshi Pro again after last being their for “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”. Mizuki is also who she wants to wrestle for her return.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTTOIKE 2026”, 19/07/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuni Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Junta Miyawaki, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs paleyouth!: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yuya Koroku
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Muscle Sakai (w/ KIMIHIRO)

After Super Sasadango Machine lost a Mask Contra Mask stipulation against Strange Love Connection last month, the unit felt pity for him and decided he can join the group on a part time basis. The conditions are that it is Muscle Sasaki joining the unit instead of Sasadango Machine and he only gets to be a member whenever SLC has a match in Nagoya. Later this month will be Sakai’s first appearance in SLC.

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 & SUSHI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

It looks like Ganbare☆Pro just can’t get rid of SUSHI now. He wanted to get booked again and the promotion are living up to their word this time. Although it did take Munetatsu Nakamura getting injured for this to happen. SUSHI will be filling in for the injured Nakamura in the 6-Man Tag Match, teaming with Mizuki Watase so soon after they fought over the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. But Watase doesn’t have to worry about him when Shigehiro Irie is on the opposite team as part of a Team Drift reunion.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto
3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

The special opponent BASARA was looking for Ryota Nakatsu is Shunma Katsumata! The description of Katsumata being a rival of Nakatsu despite not having many matches against him thanks to their careers both growing in the DNA sub-brand.

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?!?

166 Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Mia with a Double Wrist Armsault (7:27).
2. Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with a Northern Lights Suplex (11:18).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Ishii with a Flying Armbar (14:39).

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Maeguchi pinned Ohka with a Buzzsaw Kick (14:13).
*V2 for The Deadlock.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated SUSHI with the Bare Elbow (15:00).
*V4 for Mizuki Watase.

The Ganbare☆Pro management can breathe a little sigh of relief because Mizuki Watase was able to beat SUSHI and remain the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. After the match Michiyoshi Mishima approached Watase asking him who he wants to defend the title against at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show. Watase started talking about when he wanted to leave DDT there was one person he talked to first and this person assured he will help him get bookings if none were to come his way. Watase is currently the champion of GanPro but he wants to feel like the challenger so his opponent is going to be Shigehiro Irie! It turned out Irie was already in the venue and he got into the ring. He admitted he is not as strong as Watase thinks he is right now but he doesn’t want to make excuses over it anymore. The two shook hands (both using their left because its closer to the heart) and confirmed the title match will go ahead.

The Deadlock passed their second Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles defence by beating Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima. Their next challengers quickly emerged when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu came out demanding a title shot. Mishima accepted the demand and booked the match for 15th August.

Match #4 had to be abruptly stopped when Munetatsu Nakamura injured his knee after he did a Plancha onto Baliyan Akki. The injury was bad enough at the time that he had to be stretchered off and sent straight to the hospital. Akki tried to keep the audience’s spirits up in the meantime by calling Nakamura a strong wrestler who will definitely return from this setback. GanPro sent out an update that the early examinations have shown no bone damage and they are now awaiting a more detailed diagnosis. Nakamura will be out of action in the meantime.

Yuna Manase was at the show and greeted the fans. She had successful surgery for ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids and was discharged from hospital last week. During her speech she expressed her gratitude for everyone’s support during this time.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka brought up an idea to expand his team of Toyama based wrestlers. Yumehito Imanari asked if he could join because he is friends with Ohka’s father and would often stay over at his home. However Ohka declined his request which made Imanari explode in anger. Now he is going to form his own Anti-Toyama team to get revenge on Ken and his dad!

3. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

We can now all say it out loud that Keigo Nakamura is Viento Maligno. But he decided he will continue wrestling under that gimmick in his journey to get stronger.

The Battle Royal is show a few people with Kazuma Sumi and Rukiya both having to pull out due to their injuries.

This card has some changes made because of Sumi’s injury but Rukiya is expected to return. The main event isn’t affected because it focuses on To-y getting to fight Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA before their KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

DDT announced that Masami Inahata will return from his injury at this show.

DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 18/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

Sumi has been replaced with To-y in the Ring Removal Death Match. That is the main event while the rest of the match order is to be determined.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Has To-y figured out the key to beating Brookes is to annoy the hell out of him? He’s going around calling himself the Prince Of Nagoya who comes from the future where he and Yuki Ueno win the KO-D Tag Titles from Brookes & HARASHIMA. Brookes is quickly getting fed up with his wacky behavior.

There will be a post about Daisuke Sasaki and his Best Of The Super Jr. adventure next week but he is returning to DDT with a losing record in the tournament. However Ilusion has gotten him and MJ Paul a chance to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again so DAMNATION T.A can increase their current collection of championships to ten belts.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

There is just so much energy coming out of Sanshiro Takagi with his return to the ring and he wants to use it against someone he hasn’t fought in a singles match in a while. The last time Takagi fought MAO one on one was in New York back in 2019 (ignoring the Baka Gaijin + Friends universe where Takagi Sanshirobo fought Tyrannosaurus Inoue).

We have one more Minoru Suzuki appearance to wrap up the King Of DDT arc. Too bad for him he has to go team up with Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata.

The Dropkick Bar is being well represented for Soma Takao’s comeback match. He along with Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida all work there in one form or another.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

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

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo

It’s going to be the thumbs up from Arisu Endo battling against the Uraken fist of Aja Kong.

Also planned to appear on the show are Sakura Hirota and MIRAI.

Kira Summer will not be on the show because she will be spending a month back home in Australia. She will be gone from Tokyo Joshi Pro from 18th July to 16th August but will be wrestling a few times in Australia during that period.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026” Results

March 7, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
143 Fans

1. Yumehito Imanari defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Crab Hold (10:23).
2. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shin Suzuki defeated Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika when Shoji pinned Shiryu with the STO (10:13).
3. Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami with the AUF DIE FRESSE (12:37).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated YuuRI with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:18).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Susumu submitted Tominaga with the Crossface Lock (11:31).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the Venetian (16:08).
*V1 for Mizuki Watase.

The first title defence is in the bag but it almost could have gone so wrong for Mizuki Watase. He was ready to fight Takuya Wada, “The King Of Pancrase” and didn’t expect he would face Takuya Wada the pro wrestler. Watase kept simulating the match over and over to prepare for today and had the conclusion that as long as he wouldn’t give up to Wada’s submission holds, he would win in the end. That was proven right and he won by pinning Wada with the Venetian.

After the match Shuichiro Katsumura challenged Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and the champion said it is a match suitable to headline Korakuen Hall. That comment led to a chain reaction of different wrestlers getting into the ring. Keisuke Ishii said Katsumura was jumping the gun and if anybody deserved to be in a Korakuen title match main event again it is him. Then Yuya Susumu showed up complaining that Ishii should be fighting him next instead of getting a title shot again. PSYCHO also got into the ring to let everyone know he wants the next shot without actually saying anything. Michiyoshi Mishima thought a 4 Way Match should between everyone should determine the No. 1 Contender until someone shouted it should be a tournament instead. Mishima agreed and made a one day tournament for 28th March for the No. 1 Contendership. Ishii and Susumu will finally have their singles match while Katsumura faces PSYCHO. Meanwhile Watase said he wants to go have a title defence over in America before the next Korakuen show happens!

Shigehiro Irie must be missing Germany while the 16 Carat Gold Tournament is happening over there this weekend. He used his AUF DIE FRESSE finisher (holds the opponent’s arm in a Hammerlock behind their head and then knocks them down with an Elbow Butt) to win his match.

Some other matches were made for upcoming GanPro shows. On 28th March YuuRI will face Rin, the former Rin Kadokura who recently returned to wrestling but will be retiring from the business this upcoming May. Ken Ohka also wants to form a Toyama trio with Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji at that show. Then on 29th April there are two matches booked so far. The first is Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu to celebrate Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling. The other match is YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashishita from Marigold!

6. DDT Extreme Title – Soccer Vs Sumo! Mixed Martial Arts “ITACHI” Rules: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

After spending the week arguing with each other over not picking any DDT Extreme Title rules, To-y and Yuki Ishida have decided on mixing two sports together for the stipulation. The match will be Soccer Vs Sumo where only items relating to either sport are permitted to be used as weapons. Sumo is Yuki Ishida’s sport of course while To-y had a background in playing football before he became a pro wrestler.

Something to keep an eye on as we continue building up towards Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai is if there will be more damage done to Watanabe’s lower back. She is well aware of how much Arai is relying on the Scorpion Death Lock as her kill move lately.

1. Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
3. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

It doesn’t matter what alternate timeline we are in, Sanshiro Takagi and Poison Sawada JULIE are still going to feud with each other. They have been enemies in DDT for a long time but it’s been 17 years since their last singles match against each other apparently. Super Japan gets the honour of reviving the matchup.

Super Japan is also pitting their ace Yuji Nagata against Fuminori Abe in a first time singles bout. They’ve already wrestled each other in two of the previous three Super Japan shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine

4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Just when the mystery was getting good, the perpetrator has come out and admitted the crime. The indy wrestling outfit New Nemuro Pro Wrestling sent a video to TJPW taking the credit for stealing Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer while leaving behind an American flag as a red herring. New Nemuro’s most famous wrestler Andreza Giant Panda was memorably hit over the head by Mizuki with her hammer back in 2024 in a moment that went viral across the internet due to how photogenic it was. Andreza was left humiliated by what happened and Shin Nemuro felt that their reputation was tarnished over it too. Ever since that moment Andreza had been waiting on an opportunity to get his revenge. Thus Mizuki’s hammer got stolen and Andreza has challenged her to a singles match at Sumo Hall!
