GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 1ST ROUND”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
121 Fans

1. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Yumehito Imanari defeated Baliyan Akki with the Lou Thesz Press (8:56).
2. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Back Drop Hold (11:40).
3. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Seiya Morohashi with a Modified Haneorigatame (15:18).
4. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Moeka Haruhi defeated HARUKAZE & YuuRI when Manase pinned YuuRI with the Suzuki Dynamic (10:28).
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Death Valley Bomb (7:50).
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Ken Ohka defeated Shota with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:24).
7. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Cradle (2:31).

After three years away the Ganbare☆Climax is back with a bang. The tournament favourite has been eliminated in Round 1! Keisuke Ishii was unexpectedly Cradled by Shinichiro Tominaga two minutes into the match and was shockingly pinned for the three count. Tominaga’s celebration was cut short when an angry Ishii gave him the Double Arm DDT after the match. It shook up Tominaga so much that he thought he lost the match when he gave the show closing speech. When he shook it off and remembered he won, he then said he is now the top candidate to win the Ganbare☆Climax. He’s going to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and draw a thick, clear line on his somewhat vague wrestling career. That way he will be proud of being a pro wrestler, be popular with office ladies and get married four times!

Shota was accompanied by Soma Takao for his opening round match against Ken Ohka. After a back and forth match, Ohka kicked out of the Gannosuke Clutch and hit Shota with the Fire Spear for a nearfall. Ohka got the win in the end with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Takao helped bring Shota to the back afterwards. He explained that she showed up to support Shota because they are “classmates” from the same generation. Ohka moves on to face Tetsuhiro Kuroda in Round 2. Ohka was once a ringside attendant for Kuroda when he wrestled in DDT. He remembers accidentally stepping on Kuroda’s glasses and breaking them. Kuroda told him not to worry and forgave him. Ever since then Ohka has seen Kuroda like a god!

Recently retired kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi is trying his hand at pro wrestling as a representative of the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He was ultimately overwhelmed by Tatsuhito Takaiwa, ending with the Death Valley Bomb. Takaiwa was pleased by Maeguchi’s performance, particularly the Dropkick he threw at him. The match was more about Takaiwa teaching Maeguchi in the ring. When Takaiwa started wrestling he learned it is about feelings, not technique because you cannot lose with feelings. He hopes to have gotten that lesson across to Maeguchi. Takaiwa moves on to the next round to fight Mizuki Watase.

Shuichiro Katsumura’s tournament got off to a good start by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. His grappling skills was too much for Morohashi to fight against and he was tangled into submission. After the match Katsumura got into a standoff with his 2nd Round opponent Kouki Iwasaki at ringside. Katsumura pushed him away and Iwasaki Headbutted him in response before things got broken up.

Iwasaki made it out of the 1st Round by beating Nobuhiro Shimatani in a DNA confrontation. Iwasaki cut down his oppoenent with High Kicks and pinned him with a Back Drop Hold. After winning the match, Iwasaki stuck around ringside to watch Katsumura Vs Morohashi which led to the post-match meeting with Katsumura.

The tournament kicked off with the last winner Yumehito Imanari winning against Baliyan Akki. He blocked the Namaste Press and scored the pin with a Lou Thesz Press. Imanari praised Akki for his performance but Akki gave him a Headbutt to take out his frustration at losing. He waited three and a half years to take part in the Ganbare☆Climax so getting eliminated in the very first match left him very upset.

The show began with an announcement that Shinjiro Otani is now the on-site director for Ganbare☆Pro! He still intends to wrestle again when his injuries are healed and had hoped to recover in time to enter the Ganbare☆Climax. Until then, this new role gives him a reason to continue working at Ganpro shows while he is out of action. His advice for the wrestlers entering the tournament is they need to be strong, passionate, hardworking and human to win. He wants the Ganbare☆Climax to cheer up everybody who sees it.


GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021” Results

October 24, 2021

GANBARE☆JOSHI “ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
102 Fans

1. Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yuna Mizumori defeated Sayaka with the Warrior’s Return (8:07).
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Masayuki Mitomi & Jun Tonsho when Watase pinned Mitomi with the Back Drop (11:25).
3. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: Asuka defeated YuuRI with a Back Spin Kick (8:21).
4. Ganjo Special Mixed Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Ann Cham defeated Ken Ohka & Miyako Matsumoto when Ishii pinned Matsumoto with the Hidoiwaza (14:00).
5. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE (C) defeated Yuna Manase (C), Moeka Haruhi & Cherry (16:01).
5a. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Cherry by Ring Out (8:13).
5b. Yuna Manase eliminated Makoto by Ring Out (9:03).
5c. Yuu Yamagata eliminated Moeka Haruhi by Ring Out (12:10).
5d. Yuna Manase (C) eliminated Yuu Yamagata by Ring Out (13:11).
5e. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Yuna Manase (C) with a Cradle Cutback (16:01).

The Captain’s Fall Elimination match went with an extra rule that said the captains would not be revealed until they were eliminated. Cherry and Makoto were the first two eliminations. Moeka Haruhi tried to sacrifice herself by holding onto Yuu Yamagata on the apron. Yuna Manase charged into both of them but only Haruhi fell to the ground, getting eliminated in the process. However, Haruhi grabbed Yamagata again and pulled her to the floor to take her out of the match. The referee never called an end so it was concluded that the final two wrestlers Manase and HARUKAZE were the team captains. Manase gave HARUKAZE the Suzuki Dynamic but during the pinfall, HARUKAZE rolled through the momentum and pinned Manase for the 3 count out of nowhere.

HARUKAZE celebrated getting to beat Manase for the second time in a row. She said Manase has tunnel vision and needs to expand her horizons. Otherwise she will never be able to beat Yamagata. Then Yamagata got to speak. She admitted Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten more interesting than the last time she was here. But she thinks GanJo are all idiots for thinking she was going to be the team captain. This is a GanJo ring so it only makes sense for HARUKAZE to be the captain. The team left Manase and Haruhi to deal with the defeat.

Manase was certain she was going to win today but HARUKAZE beat her for the second time in a row. There was something different about her compared to when they used to team together. Maybe Manase is weak. Haruhi tried to motivate Manase and told her to stay standing no matter what. She set a goal to defeat Yuu Yamagata. Haruhi herself fought with all her might to make sure their team would win today. It wasn’t enough but Haruhi isn’t embarrassed about it. As she was saying this, Manase started losing her concentration and began to mumble about her parents and grandparents. Cherry brought Haruhi backstage to calm down, leaving Manase alone in the ring.

Suddenly Saki Akai made her entrance and stood in the ring with Manase. She came to see what Ganbare☆Joshi was all about and this is what she gets? Where is the Yuna Manase who kept standing up when Akai knocked her down over and over in DDT last month? That’s the Yuna Manase who Akai and the fans want to see. If Manase was at her most exciting chasing after Akai then Akai wants to keep an eye on her so she won’t run out of steam. Manase said the next GanJo show is happening on 7th November and she wants to team with Akai there. Akai accepted the offer. Backstage Yamagata was told the news and she replied she doesn’t know who Saki Akai is.

The start to YuuRI’s trial series saw the newcomer lose to Asuka. At first Asuka was dismissive of her opponent but it was intended to bring out the fire in her. She told YuuRI “good job” after the match but was left feeling frustrated by the whole experience. While Asuka does appreciate YuuRI showing respect to her, she still thought her effort in the ring was too amateurish. Maybe it isn’t YuuRI’s fault because Asuka wants something interesting to do in Ganbare☆Pro and hasn’t been able to find it lately. YuuRI meanwhile found out from Ken Ohka who her second trial opponent will be. She will face Maya Yukihi on 7th November.

Mizuki Watase got a big boost of encouragement by getting the win in his tag match. He & Shigehiro Irie gave Masayuki Mitomi a Double Stomp/Tombstone combo and Watase then finished him off with the Back Drop. Watase said Irie is entrusting him with everything to win the Ganbare☆Climax because Irie himself is not entering it. Today is just the beginning and Watase believes he is in the best position to win the tournament.

October 23, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 23/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Arisu Endo with the Famouser (7:29)
2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with an Inside Cradle (10:17).
3. Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (6:10).
4. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu after Tatsumi pinned Kiryu with the Daydream Eternity (11:58).
5. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Nodoka Tenma & Raku when Saint-Michel pinned Raku after La Revolution (10:44).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Suzume when Itoh submitted Suzume with the Itoh Punish (15:02).

The relationship between 121000000 still contains some odd behavior but it seems to be working out for them. Maki Itoh headbutted her own tag partner Miyu Yamashita to fire her up for the match finish. After the Headbutt, the two realigned to strike Suzume with a Headbutt/Knee Strike combo. From there Suzume was put in the Itoh Punish until she gave up.

After the match Itoh stopped The Magical Sugar Rabbits from leaving. She then asked Yamashita if she can tell what Itoh wants to say right now? Yamashita was confused at first but figured it out. She wants to challenge MagiRabi for the Princess Tag Team Titles with Itoh! Yuka Sakazaki said no. Itoh then made the same challenge saying she wants to fight Sakazaki & Mizuki. This time Sakazaki said yes, which confused Yamashita even more. The title match will take place in Korakuen Hall on 25th November.

NEO Biishiki-gun are saying farewell for now. Mei Saint-Michel has been moving around so much she is starving and misses eating freshly baked French bread. Sakisama thinks things in Tokyo Joshi Pro are settling down so now would be good for NEO Biishiki-gun to go back to their home in France. She assured the audience that they will be back.

Pom Harajuku disguised herself as a camerawoman and even took pictures of Hikari Noa in the middle of their match.

The 3rd “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held at Shinjuku FACE on 10th December. The main event will be Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Yuna Mizumori & SAKI, aka TropicaWild! Also on the show is Hikari Noa Vs Nao Kakuta in a Hardcore Match.

Has the little birdie migrated somewhere warmer for the winter?

The Team Challenge all came down to the final round between the captains Isami Kodaka and Fuminori Abe. Since it was a No DQ match nothing was stopping wrestlers from both teams interfering lumberjack style. The match soon turned to chaos with the ring filled with wrestlers fighting each other. Abe won out in the end when he pinned Kodaka while all of his team piled on top of them.

The X member of Abe’s team turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi! This was Takanashi’s first match in BASARA ever since he injured his ankle against Abe back in March 2020. Takanashi had orange streamers thrown for his entrance which made him wonder if his surprise appearance was leaked online before the show.

A mystery masked wrestler going by the name Lil’ Kraken appeared during the show. He spoke with a familiar Tochigi accent and said he will wrestle at the Korakuen Hall show on 24th October.

Miyu Yamashita thanked the fans for supporting her afterwards and said she was able to defend the Princess Of Princess Title at “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” because of them. Maki Itoh gave her a cold gaze while Yamashita continued speaking about winning the match. Itoh asked her how could she talk about that in front of the loser. Can’t she think about other people’s feelings? Yamashita says she likes Itoh but does she really mean it or just saying it because it’s good business? Itoh brought up Yamashita posing with Jun Akiyama at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” and never inviting her to join in. She could have been on the Shukan Puroresu cover with them! Yamashita responded that she loves Itoh and shouted it out so everyone could hear her. Itoh became a little overwhelmed and said thank you. They squabbled over it again backstage during their post-show interview. When they calmed down again, Itoh said her new goal is to get even stronger so she can challenge Yamashita for the title again. Yamashita promised to hold onto the title so it can happen.

For the members who don’t want to split up this is their chance to convince Oishi and Jun Akiyama that there is still juice left in Junretsu.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

It coming up to time again for DDT to team with Atsushi Onita for another Current Blast Death Match. His FMWE matches get more attention than Bakuha Koshien ever did so there’s always going to be interest in whatever he gets up to.


Takagi Hurt, Hotta’s AJW-ism, UWA Trios Titles Vacated, Endo Vs Nira II

October 11, 2021

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021”, 12/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Baliyan Akki Vs Gota Ihashi, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku
0. Dark Match: Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata
0. Dark Match: Saki Akai Vs Riko Kawahata

6. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Isami Kodaka
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura

Sanshiro Takagi had a fall at his home and broke some cartilage in his rib from landing on a kettlebell. He also hit his head off a dumbbell but that didn’t seem to do anything. It will take him two weeks to recover so he cannot wrestle on tomorrow’s show. He will still be in the corner for Toru Owashi & Soma Takao as they take on Pheromones two against three. Takagi advised Takao to bring back the steel basin he used to hit his opponents with.

Shinya Aoki and Yumiko Hotta agreed to have a regular pro wrestling match for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Hotta doesn’t care what the stipulation is, she will use AJW-ism to win not matter what. Last time Hotta was in the ring with Aoki, she pinned him with the Pyramid Driver. She would like to win this move with a big pro wrestling move like that but is wary of Aoki using his MMA style to avoid a repeat result.

Hotta’s protégé Riko Kawahata wants to have a match with Saki Akai that is unique to themselves. She doesn’t feel the pressure and looks forward to the day Hotta passes the baton down to her.

3. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

Unfortunately Minoru Fujita is still recovering from Covid in the hospital so he will not be fit to wrestle for BASARA later this month. Since the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles has been cancelled or postponed so many times, Sento Minzoku decided to vacate the titles. There will still be a match against Toru Owashi and his team of Toryumon associates and it will be for the vacated titles. Replacing Fujita for the match is Yuko Miyamoto. BASARA also sent a message to Fujita telling him not to rush through his recovery. They will be there for him no matter how long it takes for him to come back.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021~”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: YuuRI Vs Asuka
2. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Cherry Vs Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE

The Captain’s Fall Tag is an elimination match but it can immediately end when a team captain gets eliminated. The catch here is nobody knows who the captain is until they are beaten. On the surface, Yuna Manase and Yuu Yamagata look like the obvious choices for captains but the teams can play it sneaky if they want to. Maybe HARUKAZE gets to show how much stronger she has become? How about Moeka Haruhi take charge in Ganbare☆Joshi for once? Cherry can be the wild card choice. And don’t get me started on Makoto. If somebody tells her she can use this match to become a Hashira like Kyojuro Rengoku she is going to take it. Have you seen her social media lately? If you ever find someone who loves you as much as Makoto loves Kyojuro then you will live a happy life indeed.

YuuRI is getting the dreaded trial series. The win-loss records are never good but the experience gained is invaluable. Her first opponent is Asuka.
