*Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga fail in V3. THE HALFEE become the 26th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

THE HALFEE are now two time GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions! For Shu Sakurai this was a very memorable moment for him. His debut match took place inside Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR and he is very happy to win back the title in the same building. Moehiko Harumisawa congratulated him for becoming a stronger wrestler. She said everybody in Ganbare☆Pro has strong character with a determination to survive. Their reward for that is winning the GWC 6-Man Tag Titles again. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the belts originally came from Guts World. On 13th June, THE HALFEE will be wrestling for Guts World’s successor TTT (Total Triumph Team). They announced they will defend the titles against Guts Ishijima and Speed Of Sounds. Shunosuke promised that they will prove the belts belong to THE HALFEE and Ganpro!

The former champions are now trying to figure out what caused them to lose today. Hagane Shinno pointed towards a lack of teamwork between the three of them. He and Asuka both admitted they don’t like Shinichiro Tominaga very much which isn’t a good dynamic for a trio. Shinno then argued that point doesn’t make sense because Asuka & Tominaga are still teaming together for the upcoming Mixed Tag Tournament. Tominaga said that was Daisuke Kiso’s idea so it is all his fault.

Ken Ohka’s squad were victorious over Keisuke Ishii’s team in the Survival Tag Match. The match was 2 Vs 2 for the entire time until one team was whittled down to its final member. It begun with Ohka & Yumehito Imanari against Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Over The Top Rope rules counted towards eliminations and Irie found that out the hard way. He charged towards Imanari, Imanari pulled the top rope down and Irie toppled out of the ring to be removed from the match. Kouki Iwasaki came in and Imanari didn’t last much longer. Ishii took him out with the Double Arm Driver to bring in Shota. Ohka then sacrificed himself to eliminate Ishii via Double Ring Out when he jumped off the apron while carrying Ishii over his shoulders. That brought in Yuna Mizumori (replacing an injured Yuna Manase) and HARUKAZE for the final fall. Mizumori avoided a Cross Armbreaker and pinned HARUKAZE with the Supergirl cradle for the victory. Mizumori wished for Manase to recover soon so they could team up again.

At the end of the show Ohka announced that he too would be at the TTT show. He & Imanari then promoted “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” on 6th June. Ohka said this is the era of Uber Eats and on 6th June you will see Uber Ganbare☆Pro!

1. Ganjo Vs Actwres girl’Z: Moeka Haruhi defeated Rina Amikura with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:16).
2. Ganjo Jacket Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Cherry with the Dogi Ninja Choke (11:52).
3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yumehito Imanari & Shota defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shu Sakurai when Shota pinned Sakurai with the Frog Splash (10:50).
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto when Shinno pinned Parker with the Ranhei (20:31).
*V2 for Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga.
5. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated HARUKAZE with the Cross Facelock (2:59).
6. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated Yuna Manase with the Cross Facelock (7:07).

The second Ganbare☆Joshi produced show was meant to give the spotlight to HARUKAZE and Yuna Manase but sadly for them Yuu Yamagata rained on their parade. Yamagata’s first match was against HARUKAZE and she was given an Armbreaker from HARUKAZE before the match even started. HARUKAZE went all or nothing into an Armbar but Yamagata fought out of it and easily won the match in under three minutes with the Cross Facelock. Her immediate match with Manase afterwards was more challenging but the end result was the same. Yamagata avoided the Suzumi Dynamic and rolled Manase into the Cross Facelock to win both of her matches by submission.

Yamagata was in a bad mood over the two matches. She called her opponents phony idols who don’t really want to lead joshi wrestling. It is impossible for them to shine in the joshi world. Yamagata had one last thing to say before she would leave. She will never be in this organization again! Manase cried over her defeat and was comforted by Moeka Haruhi. She told her no matter what happens, no matter how ugly they look, they are representing Ganbare☆Wrestling. Even if they are completely defeated they should let the fans see it all. Manase understood her point. She came here to Ganpro from Tokyo Joshi Pro with a vow never to give up or run away. There will be another Ganbare☆Joshi show in June. Manase and HARUKAZE promised after Golden Week they will drag Yamagata back to prove her wrong!

Chris Brookes & Drew Parker weren’t exactly thrilled to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto in the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. They were fine when left to their own devices (except for the moment where Parker tried to attack Hagane Shinno with scissors) but when Matsumoto wanted to get involved they would ignore her. Shinichiro Tominaga put them in position outside the ring for Asuka to Moonsault onto them. Matsumoto got a nearfall on Shinno with a Gannosuke Clutch. Shinno got one back and pinned Matsumoto with the Ranhei for a successful title defence. Brookes & Parker didn’t care about Matsumoto and left without her.

Minoru Fujita was at ringside working as a photographer during the Jacket Match. After Shuichiro Katsumura won the match against Cherry, Fujita shoved Ken Ohka into the ring. Katsumura then threw Ohka to the canvas and stole his wallet.

The Mixed Tag Tournament that was supposed to be held next month is confirmed to be cancelled. Haruhi thinks it will be brought back when it is safe to do so. And when it does she wants it to be named The Ganpro tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Marika Kobashi & Sena Shiori Vs Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs Hikari Noa
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Nao Kakuta
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Maki Itoh

Now that Maki Itoh has achieved her dream of going to AEW she thinks it is time for her to give back to everyone who made her who she is today. There is no bigger gift for her to give than to win the Princess Of Princess Title and bring Tokyo Joshi Pro all the way over to a sold out Tokyo Dome! The difference in popularity between her and Rika Tatsumi hasn’t gone unnoticed by the champion. She admits Itoh has become a major player while she is still on the indies level. But what’s strong is strong no matter what level you are at. Tatsumi crawled her way up to become the Princess Champion and she isn’t giving it away on her second defence.

Sakisama continues to act like The Bakuretsu Sisters are below her despite them being the current Princess Tag Team Champions. She thinks they shouldn’t be walking around with the belts because NEO Biishiki-gun won the Max Heart Tournament and that determines who is the strongest team in TJPW. Mei Saint-Michel is looking forward to decorating her room with the pink title belts. The Sisters said they are taking a piece from all of their previous title match opponents to stay as champions no matter what. They’ve also taken Sakisama’s “Korakuen Pork” insults and turned it into actual “Champion Pork” to sell inside Korakuen Hall during the show.

There is a lot of talk between Yuki Kamifuku and Nao Kakuta over the differences between standing out and being normal. Kamifuku wants to stand out as the International Princess Champion so she can draw in people who aren’t wrestling fans to TJPW. Kakuta believes the value of the IP Title changes depending on the person who claims it. It is valuable because of what Kamifuku has done as champion so far but Kakuta thinks she can become a wonderful champion too with how she is now.

1. Ganjo Jacket Match: Cherry Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
2. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shu Sakurai Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shota
3. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto
4. Ganjo Vs Actwres girl’Z: Moeka Haruhi Vs Rina Amikura
5. Special Single Match: HARUKAZE Vs Yuu Yamagata
6. Special Single Match: Yuna Manase Vs Yuu Yamagata

The original plan for Yuu Yamagata coming in to the show was just to wrestle HARUKAZE in a singles match. Those two haven’t wrestled each other since 2012. Unfortunately Yamagata has no memory of who HARUKAZE is and doesn’t want to wrestle her. Yuna Manase is the person who put this card together and she appealed to Yamagata to do the match. That caused Yamagata to then challenge Manase to a match on the show instead! After an argument between the three parties it was decided that Yamagata will wrestle twice on the show. Once against HARUKAZE and once against Manase.

Manase was able to make the Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga match against Gake no Fuchi Joshi for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

5. The Young General Of Ganpro: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ikuto Hidaka with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (15:29).
6. Daihyo Vs Daihyo ~ Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Takashi Sasaki defeated Ken Ohka with a Right Knee through lighttubes (18:48).

Way back when Ken Ohka was a high school student, he was part of the school’s baseball team. In his senior year his coach asked him if he knew what to tell the pitcher whenever they were in a pinch. The answer is “Ganbare! (Go for it!)” Those words stayed with Ohka ever since which is how Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling got its name. He was alone when he started Ganpro but gained many friends, enough that today’s show consisted entirely of matches where Ganpro took on other promotions.

The finale highlight this with Ohka taking on the FREEDOMS head honcho Takashi Sasaki in a Lighttube Death Match. Sasaki had Tomoya Hirata & Dragon Libre in his corner. Ohka purposely wore clothing similar to what he wore on the first Ganpro show eight years ago. Glass was smashed as the two fought. Ohka hit the Flame Spear but only got a two count. He went for another one with lighttubes in his arms but Sasaki smashed the glass with a Middle Kick. Ohka kicked out of a Superplex onto a pile of chairs then kicked out again after Sasaki smashed lighttubes into him with a Buzzsaw Kick. Sasaki finally put Ohka away with a Kamigoye style Right Knee through more lighttubes.

After the match Sasaki explained his history with Ohka to the fans in attendance. When Ohka first came to DDT he was a bad trainee who couldn’t do anything. According to Sasaki, he had to teach Ohka how to wrestle from scratch. This year when Ohka challenged him to a match, he was surprised. For years Sasaki thought Ohka saw him as some scary teacher that he didn’t want to remember. Now that they’ve spilled each other’s blood in a death match, it doesn’t matter if they are master and disciple. They should work hard together from now on. Sasaki told Ohka he has so many friends who support him so he should be grateful for them every day and do his best to repay them. And if Ganpro ever has any problems, Ohka is always welcome to ask Sasaki for help. Ohka said he definitely wanted to beat Sasaki today but his life will continue even though he lost. Ohka will turn 43 years old tomorrow and he will have another child later this year. That’s why he can’t stop Ganpro where it is now. He promises to make Ganpro bigger and one day defeat Takashi Sasaki! Ohka and Sasaki celebrated to “Bad Communication” to close out the show.

Kouki Iwasaki has stopped Ikuto Hidaka! It was a fight Iwasaki originally started so it was up to him to stop it in the rematch. The two almost fought to a double knockout but made it back to their feets for a final faceoff. Hidaka hit the Stray Dog High Kick but Iwasaki kept standing to give him a Back Drop. That momentum switch allowed Iwasaki to finally give Hidaka his first loss in Ganpro with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT finishing him off. Iwasaki said he was feeling a bit silly because he took way more kicks to the head in the match than he wanted. He wanted to be nice to Hidaka though so he told him “Age is just a number!” He thanked Hidaka for becoming an important part in his pro wrestling life. Hidaka told Iwasaki he doesn’t trust anyone who acts like a good boy when they win. He won today so he should be proud of himself.

Ganpro got a win over DDT when Keisuke Ishii & Shota beat The 37KAMIINA pair of Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno. Katsumata hid a firecracker and pulled it in Ishii’s mouth but it didn’t do much damage. Ishii blocked the ¡Hasta La Vista! and hit the Tiger Suplex then put him away with the Kneel Kick.

The first GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence for the new champions was a successful one. Their challengers went full steam ahead with the pWo presentation. It all went wrong though when Yumehito Imanari was struck with a Double Super Kick from Asuka & Hagane Shinno. The duo then got rid of Shigehiro Irie with a Double Spin Kick before Yuna Manase wiped them out with a Double Lariat. But with the ring cleared, Shinichiro Tominaga took his chance and pinned Imanari with the Moonsault. Backstage Tominaga said relationships are built over time but he wants his trio to become a happy unit together so they can achieve more defences. Asuka & Shinno are looking forward to that. They were all born and raised differently but they will die together! Meanwhile Irie asked Imanari what would Shinjiro Otani say to them right now? According to Imanari, Otani would say “Even if people call you chubby, love your body and keep passing that energy on to others!” Manase said she wants to win a championship with Imanari & Irie so they promised her they will get another chance some day. “pWo for life!”

Ganbare☆Joshi had a good day at the office with a win over an Actwres girl’Z team. HARUKAZE wrestled in new black and white gear that looks a lot like Tifa’s outfit from Final Fantasy VII. She also got the submission win, making Ayumi Hayashi tap out while Moeka Haruhi kept Miyuki Takase at bay.

The show began with Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano announcing they are hijacking Ganpro on behalf of the Fujita Pro Wrestling School! They proved their bad intentions by attacking THE HALFEE during their musical performance. On thing they didn’t anticipate was THE HALFEE using their numbers advantage because Moeka Haruhi briefly joined in to help her partners out. Shuichiro Katsumura tied up his opponents before tagging in Shu Sakurai to finish the job. It all went pear shaped when Fujita held onto Urano’s leg to stop him from being thrown around. Urano then stole the three count by using a European Side Headlock to roll Sakurai onto his shoulders to be pinned.

Konosuke Takeshita made a request to take April off from DDT. He isn’t sick or injured. Instead he wants to take a chance to evolve into something stronger and needs to be away for a month to do it. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn’t it? If it means what I think it means then I couldn’t be happier for the guy. Anyway he returns to DDT on 4th May.

Dieno accepted that Akiyama became part of DDT’s history when he signed a contract but the temptation of becoming KO-D Openweight Champion one more time means he cannot stay quiet anymore! If Akiyama hasn’t experienced full blown DDT before, he will now.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Nao Kakuta
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Maki Itoh

A criticism that has been aimed towards Nao Kakuta since she started wrestling for TJPW is that she is too normal to stand out. Even her challenge to Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title was considered plain or even a bit boring according to the champion. Kakuta thinks it is fine to be normal. She can be called the Normal Of Normal Princess as far as she is concerned. Her other nickname is “Rat Chaser” (she used to have a catgirl gimmick) and she found her rat in the form of Kamifuku. All she has to do now is catch her! Kakuta also said that she has no senpai or kohai figures in TJPW because she came from somewhere else so she feels comfortable enough to stretch out and use her own fighting styles that she likes.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

So far in his career, Kazusada Higuchi is 0-4 in KO-D Openweight Title matches. His chase for the title is unique compared to others because he had his very first title shot only 6 months after his debut. He understands the weight that comes with holding the title is and he is also one of the few DDT wrestlers speaking up against Jun Akiyama’s growing influence in the promotion. Higuchi decided to go back to his starting point, which is sumo. That is why he wrestled barefoot in his most recent match against Akiyama that ended in a double countout. Akiyama thinks this is the biggest flaw with DDT’s roster. These wrestlers don’t look outside their own company for ideas whereas he has done a lot of things in different promotions. That is how he was able to walk into DDT and become their coach and then their champion. He gave Higuchi an ultimatum over DDT’s training sessions. If Akiyama wins then Higuchi will have to say yes to every order that is given to him. But if Higuchi wins then Akiyama will not say a word to him from now on.

Team Thoroughbred are confident in their chances of winning the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles. According to Sanshiro Takagi, the opposing team captain Shinya Aoki is scared of facing powerful opponents. When Team Thoroughbred become champions, Takagi wants to expand the group to include second generation stars from other sports and forms of entertainment. His ideal amount is to mentor seven 2nd generation celebrities so they can dominate pro wrestling as the Seven Lights Of Parentage!

Chris Brookes is currently in discussions with DDT over his first DDT Extreme Title defence. He wants to remove all restrictions and have title defences outside of the usual Korakuen Hall shows. The perfect choice for his first defence is at his third self-produced DDT show that is scheduled to take place in April. His preferred opponent? Mecha Mummy!

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far.

9. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.
