6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Sareee
7. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs FUMA

Union kicks off 2014 with a new enemy looking to take them down. Russian wrestler Ivan Markov won the brand new Union MAX Championship last month and formed World Men’s Club with MEN’S Teioh and Hiroshi Fukuda. The new unit will be in action for the first time as Fukuda & Teioh take on Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato. Markov also defends his new title  against FUMA.

???????????????????????????????

Isami Kodaka and Naomi Susan received a package from former Union wrestler Ken Ohka. The package contained eggs, milk, cuttlefish and a piece of paper with a crossed out eye drawn on it. There was also a message from Ohka saying he and his Ganbare☆Wrestling friends will break into Union and crash the event. Susan tore up the letter but was a little surprised with what she read. She and Kodaka also ate and drank the food that was in the package.

???????????????????????????????

Cherry challenged Sareee to a New Year Table Tennis Battle at the press conference. Sareee was not at the conference so an unknown man holding a cardboard cutout of her face over his head showed up instead and easily beat Cherry three times in a row. As a forfeit for losing, “Sareee” drew on Cherry’s face with a marker after every game until Cherry had enough and chased off her “opponent”.

Mitomi Masayuki will be out of action for a while because he is getting a bolt surgically removed from the ankle he broke last year.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING 5 “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!”, 26/12/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
200 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Food Village Wrestling Vs Royal Road Wrestling – PWF Rules: Crusher Takahashi Vs Fumihito Kihara ended in a Double Count Out (14:12).
2. Kickboxing Vs Karate Rematch Of Fate: Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Tanomusaku Toba by KO with High Kicks (7:40).
3. Cyborg Vs Ferocious Mammal Full Settlement Warfare!: Survival Tobita defeated J-Soul Pandita III with the Freezing Shower (6:18).
4. Goodbye Tamagawa!! Tokyo Last Match!!: Batten Tamagawa defeated Shota with the Batten Bomber (10:36).
5. Reunion Of Fate: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Moonsault (13:40).
6. Armageddon Final Battle: Ken Ohka defeated Osamu Namiguchi with the Spear Of Fire (15:21)

Ken Ohka has survived his Armageddon and finally defeated his nemesis Osamu Namiguchi! Ever since its inception back in February, Ganbare☆Wrestling has been mocked and constantly attacked by Namiguchi and his partner in crime Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Ohka stood up for the company he created from scratch but constantly fell to Namiguchi. One last battle between the two took place the day after Christmas. Ohka was proving to be a match for his opponent until he was given a Low Blow behind the referee’s back. Ogasawara also got involved attacking Ohka while the ref was distracted. Several Ganpuro wrestlers ran down to ringside to stop him but Ogasawara was able to defeat them easily. But Ohka refused to give up. Ogasawara interfered again and threw a High Kick, but Ohka ducked and the kick struck Namiguchi instead! Ohka countered the Lanakira-N and delivered the Spear Of Fire to score the pin and finally beat Namiguchi. Ohka stopped Namiguchi from leaving ringside after the match and thanked him for the experience he gained from fighting him all year. Ohka offered a handshake but Namiguchi ignored it and left.

Ohka declared Ganpuro is now major sport wrestling and announced Chapter 2 of the company will begin on 6th April, 2014 in Kitizawa Town Hall. Yumehito Imanari wondered why the next show will take so long and what will they get up to during the first three months of next year. Ohka told them they will go to Union and they will crush Union! Ohka wants Ganpuro to be a major company and the next step is to crush the competition!

Bad Tension TAMAGAWA went back to just being Batten Tamagawa for his final match in Tokyo before he goes home for at least the time being. After beating Shota, Tamagawa said he wanted to change his “half-baked” self. He tried dabbling in evil as Bad Tension TAMAGAWA and he admits he is still an immature person. He tearfully thanked everyone and told each of the Ganpuro wrestlers to hang in there.

Survival Tobita’s cyborg transformation was completed in time for his battle with the creature known as J-Soul Pandita III. But Tobita had a major weakness, his brain was left exposed. Tobita survived the head trauma Pandita gave him and was able to defeat the monster with help from a gas cooling extinguisher. He froze Pandita with the extinguisher and then delivered an Elbow Drop for the pin. After the match a mysterious doctor wearing the Scream mask entered the ring and put down Pandita with an injection. Tobita was shocked and yelled at the doctor for killing the creature. Tobita told him a friendship began to grow with him and Pandita and swore revenge on the “fake doctor”.

Gorikiko appeared dressed in a Santa costume. Not a sexy Santa costume, just regular Santa. She was disappointed she did not have a match on the show but said she would work hard as a second for the wrestlers.

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2014”, 11/01/2014
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. SAGAT Vs Kyoko Kimura
2. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Sareee
3. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs FUMA

FUMA fights for Union’s honour when he challenges Ivan Markov for the brand new Union MAX Title. Markov believes Japan is a country full of losers after defeating Union’s top two wrestlers Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka in recent months. FUMA himself has only just begun to be on the winner’s side of matches but his heart and spirit are in the right place.

Cherry suffered an upset defeat in a 3 Way Match at yesterday’s show, being pinned young Pro Wrestling Diana wrestler Sareee. The victory made Sareee the No. 1 Contender for Cherry’s Fly To Everywhere Championship. Sareee will be a few months shy of turnng 18 years old when the match takes place in January.

After teaming together twice, SAGAT has challenged Kyoko Kimura to a singles match.

Sato admitted he had no good excuse for losing to Ryo Kawamura in the main event. However, he now wants a rematch at Korakuen Hall.

Yukio Sakaguchi and Masaaki Mochizuki shook hands after their draw. They also appealed to fight each other one more time.

2. 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yumehito Imanari & Gorikikio Vs Osamu Namiguchi
3. Survival Tobita Vs J-Soul Pandita III
4. Ken Ohka Vs Bad Tension TAMAGAWA

Bad Tension TAMAGAWA wants to prove he has grown stronger and promises to fight fair and square. Osamu Namiguchi on the other hand is so strong that Yumehito Imanari has to team with Gorikiko in a Handicap Match just to have a chance of beating him at full strength.

After winning the G3 Climax back in August, Shota now aims to become the ace of Ganbare☆Wrestling. Osochin Aries is his hand picked opponent to kick start his journey.

The Champion Vs Champion matches continue. For the second time in 2013 the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Extreme Title will both be put on the line and for the moment the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title will be involved too. HARASHIMA won the Iron Man Title from Danshoku Dino, defending the KO-D Title in the process. Antonio Honda won a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament (which I now consider a bigger achievement than winning the Bound For Glory Series) to become the number one contender.

5c. Ken Ohka and Bad Tension TAMAGAWA were both eliminated by Double Ring Out (15:10).
5d. Yumehito Imanari eliminated Osamu Namiguchi by Ring Out (19:16).

Ganbare☆Pro scored a major victory over its invading enemy in the biggest show of its short existence. Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Tomohiro Otani defeated the team of Osamu Namiguchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in the main event. Otani was added to the team when he successfully passed Ohka’s Spear of Flame training, which consisted of being struck once in the abdomen with a flaming torch without being knocked off your feet. The training probably wasn’t the best idea because Otani was taken away by a stretcher and had to wrestle the match with his abdomen covered in medical tape. Yumehito Imanari was the hero of the day. He was the last man standing, eliminating Osamu Namiguchi to win the match for Ganpuro. After the match Imanari told Namiguchi he is not afraid to face him in a singles match. Ken Ohka also announced he will face Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in Shibuya on 30th October. Ohka wants to rehabilitate the man who betrayed him and he wants no interference involved.

J-Soul Pandita III is a large, uncontrollable ape-like creature. Its match with Ultraman Robin was called off when Pandita attacked the referee until Survival Tobita came to the rescue. Ohka decided that Tobita and Pandita will have a match on 30/10.

Gorikiko and Hanako Nakamori both wrestled while wearing Uniqlo branded clothing.

The Public Offer match was answered by three different groups. Ice Ribbon, wrestler Kim Yocchan and micro indy group RAW all answered the call. Ganpuro’s solution was to hold all three matches in the ring at the same time.


Ganbare In Shin-Kiba, Union 8th Anniversary Tournament, Mochizuki Enters Hard Hit

2. Hanako Nakamori Vs Gorikiko
3. Ultraman Robin Vs J-Soul Pandita III
4. Ricky Fuji Vs Shota
5. 6-Man Elimination Tag Team Match: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & X Vs Osamu Namiguchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Bad Tension TAMAGAWA

Last time on Ganbare☆Wrestling, Batten Tamagawa turned on Ken Ohka and sided with the invaders Osamu Namiguchi and Kazuhiko Ogasawara, changing his name to Bad Tension TAMAGAWA in the process. Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari get their first shot at revenge with a 6-Man Elimination Tag match that main events Ganpuro’s first Shin-Kiba show. However the Ganpuro team needs a third member. Tomohiro Otani volunteered to team with Ohka and Imanari but they aren’t too sure. Ohka decided to give Imanari an important challenge to prove he is strong and tough. He will put Otani through special training on the day of the show so he can teach him his Spear of Flame finisher. If Otani can pass the challenge and learn the move, he will be added to the team.

Ganbare☆Wrestling wants new wrestlers and they don’t mind who they are. Ken Ohka has opened up spots in the roster for new wrestlers no matter what their gender, wrestling experience and profession are. Ganpuro opened up a mixi website for applications and they will choose people to wrestle at the show.

Mitomi Masayuki recently entered the contest and is desperate to win the heart of any woman involved. Mr. Nagata (no not Yuji!), a producer for Idea Pocket gets to decide who will be in Masayuki’s corner for the match.

HARD HIT “ROAD TO KORAKUEN”, 27/10/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kamen Shooter Super Rider Vs Takaku Fuke
2. Poai Suganuma Vs Kotaro Nasu
3. Super Tiger Vs Koji Iwamoto
4. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Masaaki Mochizuki

Dragon Gate’s Masaaki Mochizuki makes his Hard Hit debut to take on Yukio Sakaguchi.

Koji Iwamoto from Sportiva Entertainment is also a student of judo. He asked to enter Hard Hit and not to be paired with a joke fighter. Super Tiger is his opponent and he is to be taken seriously. Why? Because a lot of the Hard Hit roster thinks he is very dangerous and don’t want to get hurt by him.

Poai Suganuma is a graduate from the BJ Penn MMA Academy. He faced and defeated Hikaru Sato in his Pancrase debut back in 2005. He is not familiar with the Hard Hit ruleset but Sato believes he is a strong fighter.

Hikaru Sato, Yasu Kubota and Tiger Shark will be fighting on the card.


UNION “SUMMER FESTIVAL 2013” Results

UNION “SUMMER FESTIVAL 2013”, 24/08/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
211 Fans – No Vacancy

1. FUMA & Daichi Kazato defeated Kotaro Nasu & SAGAT when FUMA pinned SAGAT with a Sole Butt (10:57).
2. Choun-Shiryu defeated Ryu Gouma with the Chinese Bombs Away (6:20).
3. Idea Pocket Presents – 4 Way Match: Menso~re Oyaji defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Mio Shirai and Kaori Yoneyama when Oyaji pinned Fukuda with a School Boy (0:19).
3a. Mio Shirai & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & Menso~re Oyaji when Shirai pinned Fukuda with a Headbutt (4:40).
4. Rumi Kazama Produce – A Little Early Union Ceremony Send-Off: GAMI defeated Cherry with a Cradle (7:57).
5. Feast Of Men Who Have Messed Up COOL: HAYATA & Takao Soma defeated Madoka & Mitomi Masayuki when HAYATA pinned Masayuki with a Moonsault (12:33).
6. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi when Kodaka pinned Morohashi with the Zan Isamu Leg (15:23).

Isami Kodaka challenged the Nazo Fukumen to a match against himself and Yuko Miyamoto at the next Union show. During the confrontation HAYATA suddenly appeared and unmasked Nazo Fukumen B, causing him to flee from ringside.

Cherry read a tearful goodbye message to GAMI after their match. She admitted it was selfish of her to ask for a singles match before GAMI retired. GAMI thanked Cherry and also the fans because she did not not know what kind of reaction she would get from them today.

The Idea Pocket prize this month was the chance to collaborate with Rika Seibi and Tsubasa Amami for a future project. Menso~re Oyaji won the match immediately with a roll up on Hiroshi Fukuda. Mio Shirai called out Oyaji and told him it was not a convincing victory. Kaori Yoneyama was also angry at the result. Amami said she would only do a collaboration if the person won a decent match. Shirai then demanded a tag team match between the men and the women to solve the dispute. The match went ahead and Shirai pinned Fukuda to win the prize. The idols suggested they could do a DVD or calender shoot together with Shirai. The DVD suggestion got a big pop from the crowd.

Ryu Gouma interrogated Choun-Shiryu over his true nationality before their match. Gouma began asking if it was correct that Choun debuted for Muscle in 2004 as a student from Peking University Graduate School. Choun said there was no doubt. Objection! Gouma looked at Wikipedia and found out that Shiryu went to a Japanese university. Shirai denied it because anyone can edit Wikipedia and fill it with fake information. When Gouma pressed further, Shiryu had enough and jumped him to start the match. He was able to beat Gouma with the Chinese Gory Bomb followed by the Chinese Bombs Away. That was enough to convince Gouma that he really is Chinese. Gouma apologised for doubting Shiryu.

Since that problem is now out of the way, Gouma now has another reason to fight Shiryu. Gouma doubts his opponent is really Chinese and he will use this match as an opportunity to discover what Shiryu’s nationality really is.
