GANBARE☆PRO “SHOTA DEBUT 15TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCE SHOW 2023”, 22/04/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
65 Fans

1. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Tyson Splash (6:28).
2. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ilusion with a Turnback Jackknife Pin (7:36).
3. Gauntlet Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE, Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi, Soma Takao & YuuRI and Kabuto Mitomi & Echika Miyabi.
3a. Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi when HARUKAZE eliminated Katumura by Ring Out (11:44).
3b. Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE defeated Soma Takao & YuuRI when HARUKAZE eliminated YuuRI by Ring Out (11:44).
3c. Kabuto Mitomi & Echika Miyabi defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE when Mitomi eliminated HARUKAZE by Ring Out (7:38).

4. Shota Debut 15th Anniversary Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Shota with a Headlock (20:30).

Twenty minutes of back and forth wrestling between Shota and Isami Kodaka all came down to a simple Headlock to decide the winner. Kodaka clamped on the move tight, causing a tired Shota to give up and lose his 15th Anniversary match. Shota still thinks he made the right choice nominating Kodaka to be his opponent for the special occasion. He believes his wrestling career does not have long left but that does not mean he is going to quit the business yet. There’s still so much in the world he wants to experience. Kodaka was happy to be invited and wants other BASARA wrestlers to participate in Ganbare☆Pro more often, especially to have matches with Shota.

Keigo Hungry For Success, Sawyer Wreck Coming To TJPW, Spirit Of Ganbare Title Matches

March 27, 2023

I’m aiming to get the DDT and TJPW USA guides finished by Wednesday night.

After a long, grueling and dramatic tournament that was one match long, the World Hino Classic has finally reached the final. Pheromones must face Ω again but this time Yuji Hino’s senior from his high school wrestling club “brother” YASSHI is on the team! Pheromones must win if Yuki Iino wants any chance of getting a KO-D Openweight Title shot.

The challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles showed their confidence in very different ways during a press conference today. HARASHIMA pointed out that he & Keigo Nakamura have a 100% win rate as a team. Nakamura showed his determination by threatening to eat a live cockroach he brought along in a jar! Shunma Katsumata stopped him from going ahead with it.

GANBARE☆PRO “SHOTA DEBUT 15TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCE SHOW 2023”, 22/04/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” was hastily put together in order to introduce Sawyer Wreck to Tokyo Joshi Pro. Wreck stands 188cm tall and has been a regular opponent for Maki Itoh during Itoh’s visits to America. Her first match in TJPW is happening on 29th April but a few days later she will get to face Hikari Noa in a Death Match! What kind of Death Match will be announced on a later date.

Mahiro Kiryu will have to show her manners when she takes on Gabai Ji-chan.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’23”, 05/05/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Sawyer Wreck

The finals of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles Tournament is between The All-Star Junior All-Stars and Hentai Punch Drunkers.

The debuts of Dan The Dad & Kody Lane pits them against ROMANCE DAWN.

Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura will both be on the show representing the Sento Minzoku faction from BASARA.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE” Results

March 25, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 25/03/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
81 Fans

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Half Crab Hold (7:59).
2. Rina Amikura & YuuRI defeated Moeka Haruhi & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Amikura pinned Hasegawa with a Diving Senton from the Corner Stage (10:56).
3. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii defeated Mizuki Watase, Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuki Kanzaki (16:01).
3a. Shuichiro Katsumura eliminated Shinichiro Tominaga by Ring Out (8:21).
3b. Mizuki Watase eliminated Shuichiro Katsumura by Ring Out (11:21).
3c. Keisuke Ishii eliminated Mizuki Watase by Ring Out (12:21).
3d. Yuki Kanzaki eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out (13:43).
3e. Ken Ohka eliminated Yuki Kanzaki with the Spear Of Flame (16:01).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Yumehito Imanari defeated Shota & Soma Takao when Takaiwa pinned Shota with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (17:49).

The last show on today’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleshot ended up shaping a lot of the card for Ganpro’s return to Korakuen Hall on 5th May. In the main event The All-Star Junior All-Stars defeated ROMANCE DAWN to advance to the tournament final. They will now face Hentai Punch Drunkers at Korakuen to determine the first ever Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. It left Junior Stars in a familiar position because Tatsuhito Takaiwa became the first Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion by beatin Yumehito Imanari in a tournament final a year and a half ago. They vowed to win the Tag Titles by drinking highballs together during their post-match interview.

Earlier today on Mizuki Watase’s own produce show, Keisuke Ishii pinned him clean. Then on this show Ishii eliminated Watase in the 6-Man Tag Match. This resulted in Ishii challenging Watase for the SOG Title on 5th May because he has never won a singles main event in Korakuen. Watase accepted the challenge so he can show the world not only his own strength but the greatness of Ganpro too.

Isami Kodaka was in attendance to be in Daiki Shimomura’s corner for his match against Munetatsu Nakamura. His presence attracted the attention of several Ganpro wrestlers. First, Shota asked Kodaka to be his opponent for his 15th Anniversary mach on 22nd April. Kodaka accepted and shook Shota’s hand. Seems friendly enough. Then the mood of the room changed after Shimomura beat Nakamura by submission. Nakamura refused to shake his opponent’s hand after the match and Ken Ohka spoke about his frustration over Ganpro being unable to beat any of the wrestlers from Sento Minzoku. Kodaka said he can tell Nakamura has guts but he doesn’t sense if Ohka has any. This led to a Ganpro Vs Sento Minzoku match being set up for 5th May.

GANBARE☆PRO “SHOOTING IN THE COLD RAIN, A GUN FOR PROMISE 2023” Results

March 5, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “SHOOTING IN THE COLD RAIN, A GUN FOR PROMISE 2023”, 05/03/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
117 Fans

1. GanPro Three Big Singles Match: Takuya Wada defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Cross Heel Hold (6:44).
2. GanJo Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & Asahi defeated HARUKAZE & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Asahi pinned Hasegawa with the Chanmaru Boy (11:54).
3. GanJo Special Single Match: Miyuki Takase defeated YuuRI with the 2nd Rope Diving Guillotine Drop (12:27).
4. GanPro Three Big Singles Match: Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the I’m Sorry To Trouble You (11:40).
5. GanPro Three Big Singles Match: Shota defeated Soma Takao with a Backslide Pin (10:17).
6. GanPro Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Shuichiro Katsumura & Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Yumehito Imanari when Takaiwa pinned Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb (17:31).

The four teams who will enter the tournament to crown the first ever Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions are now decided. The show began with Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura confirming their entry together with the team name Daishoken. They said they were the heavy favorites to win the belts but only because they were the only team that had entered at that point. But if that means they can become champions without having to wrestle a match, they’ll be happy to take that route.

Later on after Tyson Maeguchi won his match with a Knee Kick to Shinichiro Tominaga, avenging his loss to him from last year. Afterwards Maeguchi asked Michiyoshi Mishima if he could enter the tag tournament. Mishima said he appreciates the hard work Maeguchi regularly gives for Ganbare☆Pro so he is allowed to take part. Maeguchi originally thought about teaming with Mizuki Watase but decided against it. He lost a Spirit Of Ganbare Title match against him recently and that would make teaming with him very awkward. So instead he invited somebody that he wanted to work with for a long time now to today’s show. It’s Hikaru Sato! It is Sato’s first time seeing a Ganpro show and he is surprised to find so many people he knows from other promotions all gathered together under the one roof. He agreed to team with Maeguchi and they will be using the Punch Drunkers team name. It is already an established name in Ganpro and whatever other names they could come up with will only be forgotten about tomorrow.

Then Shota beat Soma Takao one on one to finally put their rivalry to rest. Shota said his win today means he can finally free himself of being jealous over Takao. Now that their differences are put behind them, Shota & Takao can reform ROMANCE DAWN to enter the tag tournament. Takao agreed with the idea and the two started telling each other to get their tag team costumes washed and ready. Since they already have a lot of experience teaming together, ROMANCE DAWN has the head start over all the other teams.

Last but not least came the final team getting together after the main event. Tatsuhito Takaiwa pinned Yumehito Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb. He then told the fans he wants to be the first person to win the SOG Tag Titles just like he was the first to win the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles with Shinjiro Otani 25 years ago! Unfortunately Otani is unable to wrestle now because of his injuries so Takaiwa asked Imanari to team with him instead! Imanari agreed and said their team name is the All Star Junior Stars! You can call them Junior Stars for short! Takaiwa told him they can’t use that nickname without Koji Kanemoto’s permission. Imanari then changed the nickname to All Stars and Takaiwa seemed to be more accepting of it.

Everything Other Than The Big Show Lineups, Shino Suzuki Debut

February 27, 2023

A lot to get through here. I’ll save the “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” and “JUDGEMENT 2023” for the next post just to give the pages some breathing room. There will be so much to write about between the two “Big Match” events, Wrestlemania Weekend, a whole bunch of debuting wrestlers and all of the other international bookings to keep track of. Staying up to date with the all of the news and shows in the next month is probably going to kill me.

BASARA “BASARA 212 ~KOO~”, 28/02/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Lil’ Kraken & Tsutomu Oosugi
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga Vs Antonio Honda
3. FUMA & KUBITO Vs Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano
4. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daiki Shimomura & Fuminori Abe
6. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Takato Nakano

The lineup for the “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023~” was revealed over the weekend and it turns out Isami Kodaka is the only BASARA representative on the show. Takato Nakano was convinced he would be on it. Maybe winning the Union MAX Title away from Kodaka tomorrow will lead to a last minute change of plan.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~YOKOHAMA PERFORMANCE~”, 04/03/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Aino Vs Hikari Noa Vs Kaya Toribami

5. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Shoko Nakajima & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Haruna Neko Vs Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao & Nao Kakuta

One more chance for Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi to test themselves against each other before the International Princess Title match.

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” main event are in separate singles matches. Yuka Sakazaki has to fight Raku and her dreaded pillow. Mizuki continues going through a… um… well calling it a murderer’s row of opponents isn’t accurate given how little a challenge they’ve given her so far. More like a jaywalker’s path? That’s kind of the level of crime Pom Harajuku would commit I guess.

Daisy Monkey are back teaming up to take on the rookie pairing of Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI.

Maki Itoh is missing the show because she will be in America wrestling for GCW that day.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED VOL. 2”, 04/03/2023

All aboard for the journey to DDT’s 26th Anniversary show! The top three matches in Yokohama are all building towards “JUDGEMENT 2023”. Yuji Hino and Yukio Naya have a few preview tag matches to get ready for.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is now safe and sound in the hands of Yoshihiko. The doll still has a big challenge coming up, defending the belt in a Battle Royal.

Yuki Ueno will be absent from a few DDT shows this month because he got a part in a stage show.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE” Results

February 23, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 23/02/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
89 Fans

1. GanPro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE defeated Kentaro Hachisu & Moeka Haruhi when Imanari pinned Hachisu with the Lou Thesz Press (12:05).
2. 3 Way Match: Hong Kong International Policewoman (YuuRI) and Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman (Yoshiko Hasegawa) defeated Hong Kong International Policeman when International Policewoman and Domestic Policewoman both pinned Policeman after the Domestic Nunchuck Punch (15:17).
3. All Pro-gun Vs New Pro-gun: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Double Countout (10:20).
3a. Rematch – The Return Of LariPro 2023: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Draw after a Quadruple Knockout (10:20).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Takuya Wada & Yuki Kanzaki defeated Shinichiro Tominaga, Tyson Maeguchi & Munetatsu Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (24:36).

The last Ganbare☆Pro show of today kept Mizuki Watase and Shinichiro Tominaga apart in different matches, although they did interact in a contract signing at the start of the show. The main event instead focused on Watase fighting against the rookie Munetatsu Nakamura. Watase encouraged his opponent to keep firing Elbow Strikes at him before stopping him with a Dropkick to the face. Nakamura kicked out of that but was then pinned with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Watase praised Nakamura after the match, telling him he’s happy to see such a gutsy newcomer in Ganpro.

The return of Lariat Pro Wrestling was delayed when both teams decided to do a match between “All Pro” and “New Pro” tributes. Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga were on the “All Pro” side while the “New Pro” team was made up of Ken Ohka & Shota. Everyone changed their movesets to the theme songs of famous wrestlers that played throughout the match. Things got out of hand and the fighting made its way out of the ring, causing the match to end in a Double Countout. A rematch immediately happened, this time under the Lariat Pro Wrestling brand. Everyone threw Lariats at each other until all four of them were knocked out, resulting in another draw.

The 3 Way Match turned into a scheduling nightmare because none of the original participants were around to take part. Hong Kong International Policeman was missing so Choun-Shiryu appeared in his place. Yoshiko Hasegawa was gone so Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman took her place. Then it turned out YuuRI wasn’t there either so Hong Kong International Policewoman had to substitute for her. The two Policewomen agreed to fight Shiryu two on one. He got annoyed by that and left the match halfway through. Then all of a sudden Hong Kong International Policeman finally showed up and started planting evidence on people to “catch” them red handed. He allegedly found a bag of pills in Daisuke Kiso’s pocket and made the referee overlook any of his cheating in return for letting him off the hook. The two Policewomen had enough though and double teamed the corrupt cop, pinning him together while Kiso made a fast three count. Hong Kong International Policeman was arrested after the match and dragged out of the venue in handcuffs.

The show began with a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Tominaga admitted that Watase embodies the spirit of Ganpro more than anyone else in the promotion, which means he works harder than everybody. Tominaga cannot match that but he would have never challenged Watase if he wasn’t confident he could beat him. Watase is nursing an injured arm but will fight through the pain. He heard Daisuke Kiso will be the referee so he told him not to stop the match if his arm injury gets worse. Even if he suffers a broken arm, Watase will still fight.
