GANBARE☆PRO “FACE/OFF 2021” Results

June 12, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “FACE/OFF 2021”, 12/06/2021
Kitazawa Town Hall
104 Fans

1. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Round 1: Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase defeated Shota & Miss Mongol when Imanari pinned Shota with an Aerial Body Drop (10:31).
2. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii & HARUKAZE defeated Shigehiro Irie & Miyako Matsumoto when Ishii pinned Matsumoto with the Hidoiwaza (10:00).
3. Shu Sakurai Trial Single Match: Shinjiro Otani defeated Shu Sakurai with a Knifehand Strike Chop (16:45).
4. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Round 1: Asuka & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Kouki Iwasaki & Itsuki Aoki when Asuka pinned Aoki with the Safflower Robe (13:39).
5. 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi defeated Ken Ohka & Cherry when Katsumura submitted Ohka with the Ninja Choke (16:36).

The 1st Ganpro Mixed Tag Tournament is finally under way. Every match in the opening round had a 30 minute time limit and any time limit draw would be decided with 1 Count Sudden Death rules. Most of the teams entering the tournament has their own team name to add to the fun. Also there were rumours spreading in the locker room during the show that a Mixed Tag Team Championship might be created and rewarded to the tournament winners.

In the main event Harukatsu Shoot (Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi) defeated Ken-chan Cherry-chan (Ken Ohka & Cherry). Katsumura blocked the Fire Spear with the Ninja Choke and held onto the move even when Ohka turned it into the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka couldn’t shake him off and had to give up. Cherry blamed Ohka for the lost and kept telling him he shouldn’t have tapped out no matter how bad his neck was getting twisted. Haruhi said her team will go on to win the tournament. They will also be defending the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles tomorrow outside of Ganbare☆Pro.

The Weekend Lovers of Asuka & Shinichiro Tominaga advance after beating Team Frenzy (Kouki Iwasaki & Itsuki Aoki). The teamwork shown by Weekend Lovers was the deciding factor. They used a Double Super Kick to get rid of Iwasaki then doubleteamed Aoki until the finish. Iwasaki asked Aoki if they should practice under Ikuto Hidaka to get better. Aoki suggested bringing in Munenori Sawa instead. Asuka isn’t sure if the rumours of a new championship are true but if it is then she wants to be the first champion.

The non-tournament match had Shinjiro Otani beat Shu Sakurai as part of Sakurai’s trial series. It was Yumehito Imanari’s idea to put the match together because he wants Otani to wrestle in Ganpro more often. Imanari thinks there were some NOAH fans who came to the show today because of “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”. He is happy to see Ganpro grow but understands there is a limit due to its size which is why he called upon Otani to help them out. The heat of Ohka and the heat of Otani combined will create a hot pot of pro wrestling!

Back to the tournament. Harukaze Kogyo (Keisuke Ishii & HARUKAZE) eliminated Kinniku Kurukuru Shojo Tai (Shigehiro Irie & Miyako Matsumoto) in an even 10 minutes. Ishii pinned Matsumoto with his modified version of the Emerald Flowsion. Irie shook his opponents’ hands after the match but ignored Matsumoto and left her alone in the ring. Backstage Irie threw in his support for a Mixed Tag Team Championship to be created. He’d fight for one with a different tag partner though. Meanwhile Ishii told HARUKAZE that he wants them to fight like they are going to split up if they lose, just like how it happened with DREAMS HARU TRUE. However HARUKAZE said she is fighting with the goal of reuniting DREAMS HARU TRUE.

Last but not least, Gyaku Funka Murasaki En-gun (Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase) defeated the team known as Yasashiku Naritai (Shota & Miss Mongol). The power of FMW was summoned when Shota & Miss Mongol did a United Thunder Fire Power Bomb to Imanari. But Imanari blocked Shota’s Frog Splash with his knees and pinned him with a Lou Thesz Press.

The semi-finals on 27th June are Harukatsu Shoot Vs Gyaku Funka Murasaki En-gun and Weekend Lovers Vs Harukaze Kogyo. The final is held on the same day.

For a match to celebrate 19 years in the industry, Isami Kodaka has picked Kengo Mashimo as his opponent. Sometimes they get along, usually when they have to. But most of the time they don’t. There is a level of respect between them and I’m sure Mashimo will behave. With that said, he probably isn’t going to care if Kodaka gets roughed up more than usual on his special day.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK”, 17/06/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume, Haruna Neko, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo

6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Marika Kobashi
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

With momentum on her side Miyu Yamashita now aims to be the first Double Princess Champion in Tokyo Joshi. Her tag partner Maki Itoh was upset that Yamashita didn’t call on her to join the photo call with Jun Akiyama and Naomichi Marufuji at the end of “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” that was used for the front cover of the latest Weekly Pro-Wrestling issue. Yoshihiko was on it but not Itoh? Come on! Yamashita cheered her up by saying she loves her and knows it was Itoh who cheered for her the most. They’ll make it to the cover of the next issue when they win the Princess Tag Team Titles.

Mei Saint-Michel has been preparing for the match by doing everything but pro wrestling. She’s been playing the piano, writing, learning ballet, doing tea ceremonies and much more. Sakisama promises to make the challengers scream. The more she makes them scream, the more it excites her. The date of the title match was scheduled without her permission so she’ll take her anger out on 121000000.

Six years into her career, Marika Kobashi is ready for her first singles title shot. She wants to win the International Princess Title, turn it into the International Gal Title and bring it to Shibuya where she will become the strongest Gal in the world! Hikari Noa is excited for the match because it proves the IP Title is all about the individuality of the champion and her challengers. She thinks of herself as the main character and her opponents are monsters she must beat one by one.

There is a lot of attention surrounding Yuki Arai’s arrival into TJPW. She is nervous going into her first singles match but wants to show everyone what she is capable of. Her opponent Mirai Maiumi isn’t going to let her hog all the spotlight. She too understands it is an important match. An unbreakable spirit is the biggest weapon a pro wrestler can have and Arai is sure to get one from her countless supporters. To combat this, Mirai has created her own idol unit called MSS48 (Mirai Strong Style 48). She is the only member so far but will recruit anyone who has the power, speed, mentality and excellence that matches her own.

GANBARE☆PRO “TRUE ROMANCE 2021” Results

May 29, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “TRUE ROMANCE 2021”, 29/05/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
70 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Ganpro Survival Tag Match – Ohka-gun Vs Ishii-gun: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari, Shota & Yuna Mizumori (3) defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (2) (32:44).
1a. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Imanari knocked Irie out of the ring (13:14).
1b. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Ishii pinned Imanari with the Double Arm Driver (15:13).
1c. Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki ended in a Double Ring Out when Ohka and Ishii were both knocked out of the ring (20:18).
1d. Shota & Yuna Mizumori defeated Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE when Mizumori pinned HARUKAZE with the Supergirl (32:44).
2. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai defeated Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Shunosuke submitted Tominaga with the Ninja Choke (28:26).
*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!

4. Ganpro Vs DDT Full Scale Battle: Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno when Ishii pinned Katsumata with the Kneel Kick (11:40).
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.

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021” Results

January 17, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021”, 17/01/2021
Osaka Hirano Kumin Hall
112 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Woman In Osaka Castle ~Ganjo Special Tag Match~: SAKI & Haruka Aikawa defeated HARUKAZE & Momoka Hanazono when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with a Brainbuster (14:35).
2. Ganpro East-West Battle 2021!: Tsuyoshi Okada & Kota Umeda defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Iwasaki Umeda pinned Tominaga with the Umeda Driver (9:24).
3. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Ganpro Osaka Winter Team! THE HALFEE Vs Pocchari Joshi East-West Allied Forces Full Scale Battle!: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa defeated Kuuga, Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase when Shunosuke submitted Manase with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (9:37).
*V2 for THE HALFEE.
4. Battle Without Honor ~Father Of 2 Children At Home Vs Father Of 2 Children With Child Support~: Ken Ohka defeated Shoichi Uchida with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (14:15).
5. Ganpro Sanada Maru! Team Drift Vs Team MAKAI Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota & Asuka when Ishii pinned Shota with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:07).

For the first time in a year Ganbare☆Pro was back in Osaka. Shota was in a hard fought match today teaming with Asuka against Team Drift. Asuka was taken out by Shigehiro Irie’s Beast Bomber, leaving Shota to fight Keisuke Ishii. Shota countered the High Angle Double Arm DDT into the Gannosuke Clutch but only got a nearfall out of it. Ishii cut off Shota with a Running Knee and pinned him with the Double Arm DDT. Ishii said he didn’t want to be left behind because the other three wrestlers have a lot of momentum behind them. For him it was a stubborn match and a stubborn victory. Shota is finding himself in a rut since losing the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title during the week. He hasn’t won a match since then and now he has to figure out what to do against Yasu Urano now that there is no championship at stake.

The battle of the dads began with Shoichi Uchida trying to start a “Child Support” chant. He doesn’t have a good history with marriage (twice divorced and four kids in total) which makes him mad when he sees other wrestlers with happy families, like Ken Ohka. The two of them argued over their opinions about marriage as the match turned more into a No DQ brawl with chairs involved. Uchida was motivated enough to kick out of the Fire Spear at one but Ohka finished him off with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka shouted at Uchida “Why didn’t you show that passion when you were married?” while he pinned him.

Yuna Manase wanted the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles put on the line at the last minute. THE HALFEE turned her down until Yumehito Imanari handed out pWo (Pocchari World Order) shirts to his tag partners to show they are a unit. Kuuga was given an S sized shirt which he hated so he walked off. He came back when Manase took out an XL shirt for him. THE HALFEE agreed to defend the titles and came out on top. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the teamwork they’ve been doing for over a year wasn’t going to lost against a brand new team. Shu Sakurai wants to defend the trios title all the time in 2021 and end the year with THE HALFEE appearing in the Red And White Song Battle on New Year’s Eve. Moehiko Harumisawa is annoyed that she didn’t maintain their instruments properly. Imanari still thinks forming the pWo with Manase is a good idea.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAGICIANS RED 2020” Results

November 23, 2020

GANBARE☆PRO “MAGICIANS RED 2020”, 23/11/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Washi Sakurai Trial Single Match: Yuma 24 defeated Washi Sakurai with the Takizawa Package (10:03).
2. Ganpro Send-Off Match – Yuna Manase Road To Tag Champion: Ken Ohka & Yuna Mizumori defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuna Manase when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Flame Spear (7:32).
3. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari when Shota pinned Imanari with the Gannosuke Clutch (14:32).
4. The Young General Will Avenge The General’s Death! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Stray Dog High Kick (19:45).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka (c) defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Modified Capture Buster (16:15).
*V2 for Asuka.

Asuka praised Moeka Haruhi for giving her a tough challenge today. She wants the two of them to get along within Ganbare☆Pro and create exciting matches together. Haruhi shook her hand and said it doesn’t matter that they’re both freelancers. All the women here are Ganbare☆Joshi! Asuka agreed and told the audience there is one Ganpro show left on the schedule this year. However she will continue to be on Ganpro shows throughout 2021 to increase the value of the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title.

Backstage after the show, Shota approached Asuka and congratulated her for a good match. He said he was supposed to visit Mexico for an expedition this year but he had to cancel those plans. The only other goal he made for 2020 was become the Independent Jr. Champion. Since there is only one Ganpro show left in 2020 he wants a title shot on 26th December. Asuka wasn’t interested. Shota then said who knows what will happen to the world after December? Fortunes could change for anybody. Also Shota whispered to Asuka that she has beaten him before so it would be an easy defence. Asuka changed her mind and accepted the challenge.

Ikuto Hidaka is still undefeated in Ganpro after his win over Kouki Iwasaki. The High Kick combo that ended with the Stray Dog High Kick was too much for Iwasaki to handle.

Shota showed off his KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt to the crowd after his match. He pinned Yumehito Imanari with the Gannosuke Clutch after a missed Clothesline from Shuichiro Katsumura hit Imanari by mistake. Shota talked about winning the championship with a team of wrestlers all representing Young Communication. Another wrestler from that generation is his tag partner for today Keisuke Ishii. He told Ishii that Young Communication will be holding a special reunion show on 16th January and it would not be possible to do it without Ishii being there. Ishii told him he is free that day so he will be there.

Ken Ohka gave words of encouragement to Yuna Manase and Yuna Mizumori after their match. He didn’t know the match was a send-off for them but could see the passion they displayed. He said Ganpro has climbed up out of the basement floor and now feels like a hot spring. He told W☆YUNA to go carry the soul of Ganpro when they enter tomorrow’s tag tournament in Actwres girl’Z. If W☆YUNA become champions then Ohka and Shinichiro Tominaga will have a match against them when they come back! Manase thanked Ohka for the speech but would have preferred if she got the pin in her own send-off match. The point was for her to win and get momentum! Still, she will be sure to win the tournament with Mizumori.

In a last minute change, Yasu Urano was unable to compete due to poor physical condition. Taking his place was Yuma 24, previously just known as Yuma from K-DOJO. He wore a flashy jacket during his entrance and was accompanied to the ring by Shota. He seemed to care more about showing off than trying to win which meant Washi Sakurai had a more even fight than expected. At one point Yuma did the People’s Elbow with some robot dancing mixed in. Sakurai tried fighting back but Yuma got him pinned with the Takizawa Package to win.

HARUKAZE greeted the fans before the show. She wanted to do a magic trick to make up for not being able to wrestle today but gave up because the trick was too small for the entire audience to see. She then announced the show was starting but was told by the other wrestlers she was too early.
