The main event came close to ending in a time limit draw. In the final minute Shuichiro Katsumura put Ken Ohka in the Ninja Choke while Keisuke Ishii got rid of Isami Kodaka with the Tiger Suplex. Ohka used a Vertical Drop Brainbuster to try and fight out of the choke but Katsumura held on and got the submission victory. Kodaka criticised Ohka for not lasting another 10 seconds to get the draw. But he was impressed by how strong Ishii & Katsumura are. He hopes to face them again even if his independent status makes it a little less possible. Ishii said he was surrounded by champions so he couldn’t lose today. He is now the best Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion of the bunch! Katsumura credited his drive to win back the title as the reason he won today. Ohka pointed out that he wrestled twice on the show.
For the Cosplay match Moeka Haruhi dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood, HARUKAZE was dressed as a Kyonshi vampire and Cherry was dressed as Haruhi, wearing her entire wrestling gear. The match finish had Haruhi climbing the corner to do the Diving Foot Stomp to HARUKAZE but Cherry snuck in and pinned HARUKAZE with the Spring Night Love before Haruhi could jump.
Shigehiro Irie offered to shake Shuhei Washida’s hand after their match. Washida slapped him across the face. An angry Irie kicked Washida away in response.
Kodaka got to reunite with Cherry at the end of the show. The two were part of Union Pro together from its launch to its closure. Their message is all wrestling is connected. You are alive with professional wrestling!

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “GANBARE☆AIR PARK”, 24/08/2019 Saitama Tokorozawa Air Park Town Shopping Street ??? Fans
1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Ken Ohka & Shuhei Washida when Ishii pinned Washida with the Arm Fold Carolina Reaper (20:18).
The second Ganbare☆Wrestling show of the day began in a Fresh Akiyama store is Air Park Town. The store manager brought out a title belt and said he would give the Air Town Park Championship to the winner of the match.
The match began with Keisuke Ishii and Shuhei Washida fighting their way into the shop while Shota and Ken Ohka fought next to the fans outside.
Inside the shop Ishii found a Jushin Liger mask and put it on. He tried to give Washida the Liger Bomb onto the ground but Washida escaped. The two then got into a Chop Battle on their way into a nearby bar.
The two teams got back together outside the shop with fruit and vegetables. Ishii placed a watermelon on the ground in between Ohka & Washida. He challenged Shota to break the watermelon with a stick while blindfolded. He tried but hit Ohka by accident. Washida then gave it a go and he too hit Ohka by accident.
The teams found carriages nearby and crashed them into each other. A chef then appeared with a plate of green curry. Ohka & Washida forced Ishii & Shota to eat the spicy curry.
Washida held Ishii in place for Ohka to attack him. Ohka charged in but Shota threw a banana peel in front of Ohka and he slipped on it. Ishii then Suplexed Washida onto some boxes.
Ishii grabbed a shop sign advertising the shop’s first anniversary and hit Washida over the head with it. He then put Washida in the Double Arm Neck Lock. Washida tried not to submit but when Shota forced a Carolina Reaper pepper into his mouth, Washida gave up.
The store manager presented Ishii with the Air Park Title for winning the match. Ishii said today was fun and now he got to spread the word of Ganpro in Tokorozawa as a champion. Ohka ended the night by shouting “Ganbare☆Tokorozawa!”

6. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 20th Champions Decision Match: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol defeated Guts Ishijima, Masked Mystery & Shota when Mongol pinned Shota with a Cross Body (13:06). *GPW become the 20th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
Miss Mongol thanked Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari for giving her the opportunities to wrestle even at her age. Before the show took place Mongol contacted Atsushi Onita for permission to close out the show the same way he used to. Onita gave her his blessing but after she did it, the Real GUTS Army attacked them. Shota said today’s result was a fluke and he demanded some rematches to take place on 10th and 11th August. Guts Ishijima won’t be at the 10th August show because he already has a booking with 666. Shota promised to bring along a replacement.
Minoru Fujita approached Shuichiro Katsumura after the semi-main and asked for a match with him. Fujita originally promised he would never come back to Ganbare☆Wrestling but he really wants to wrestle Katsumura. They agreed to have a match on 10th August but the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title will not be on the line.
Naoshi Sano beat Chikara clean then challenged Mitsuo Momota to a match. However Momota had another idea. It is clear that he and his son cannot beat Sano so rather then fight him again, they should all team up instead! That would be a better way for them to study Sano’s strength. Sano and Chikara were both puzzled by the idea but Momota convinced them to try it out.
Ken Ohka had some big news for Kouki Iwasaki. Next month he is going to have a couple of opponents from Big Japan coming in! Iwasaki faces Akira Hyodo on 10th August and Ryuichi Kawakami on the 11th!
Ohka and Shuhei Washida attempted to Bottle Cap Challenge before the show began but they both failed. So they changed the rules into a water drinking contest. Washida beat Ohka.

5. Grasp The Best WONDERFUL LIFE! Iwasaki’s Greatest! – Southside Wrestling World Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Beast Bomber (16:41) *V6 for Shigehiro Irie.
Shigehiro Irie’s tour of Japan with the Southside Wrestling World Title has lead to a string of defences in a short period of time. The sixth and latest defence was against Kouki Iwasaki at Ganbare☆Wrestling. Irie said that he will be going back to Europe with the title but he hopes to wrestle Iwasaki again. However Ken Ohka entered the ring and demanded a shot at the title on 17th July. Irie said he won’t be in Japan that day. Ohka then asked for a match in August. Irie couldn’t commit so Ohka then told Irie to challenge him the next time he comes back to Japan. Irie then suddenly knocked out Ohka with the Beast Bomber.
The combined powers of the GPW alliance succeeded in beating Real GUTS Army in a violent clash. Yumehito Imanari came out wearing a leather jacket similar to Jon Moxley’s “MOX” jacket but with “SEX” on the back instead. Ohka was busted open but with the help of Imanari & Miss Mongol, was able to pin Shota with the Thunder Fire Power Bomb. After the match Ohka demanded Guts Ishijima to bring back the retired GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles that used to be defended in Guts World until its closure. Ohka explained that life is a fight with guts. If GUTS do not want to be in a title match then they have no guts! Ishijima accepted the demand and will bring back the titles on 17th July.
Hiroshi Yamato challenged Shuichiro Katsumura for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Yamato said he has now wrestled in over 50 different wrestling promotions and if he becomes the Independent Jr. Champion he can then raise the belt’s prestige and also the wrestling scene at large by defending it in various different promotions.
Champ Phoenix made the mistake of taking Choun-Shiryu lightly, treating him as an easy opponent and leaving his guard open so Shiryu could pin him with La Magistral Cradle. Shiryu told Phoenix that he’s been living in Japan for 15 years so he should have been treated with respect.
The rookie Shuhei Washida is showing more aggression in his matches. He refused to shake Mitomi Masayuki’s hand before their match and even had to be held back by the referee at one point. However Masayuki took over and used a modified Camel Clutch called the Baby Clutch to make Washida submit.
Masayuki announced before the show that he is forming his own promotion called P.P.P. Tokyo. He said he learned to work hard in Ganpro and will use that spirit to make this new project succeed. P.P.P. will have a business relationship with Ganpro. The first sign of this is Ganpro hosting a match at the debut P.P.P. show in Shinjuku FACE on 30th September.

Today HEAT-UP was victorious over Ganbare☆Wrestling! The main event was an 8-Man Elimination Tag Match between the two promotions. Ganpro suffered a major blow early on when Ken Ohka was pushed off the top rope by TAMURA, eliminating him three minutes in. Hirohsi Watanabe pinned Shota with a Leg Roll Clutch but Shota was able to clasp onto Watanabe’s arms and pin his shoulders down in the process, resulting in a double pinfall. Kouki Iwasaki got rid of Keito Murota with a Crab Hold and Daisuke Kanehira pinned Shuhei Washida with a Knee Strike minutes later. It was all up to Iwasaki but even thought he got to eliminate TAMURA, Kanehira sent him packing to win the match for HEAT-UP.
As the promotion’s champion, Kanehira was going to announce the next show to take place in Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR but Ohka interrupted him. TAMURA tried to calm Ohka down by telling him it’s time for the next generation led by Kanehira and Iwasaki to take over. TAMURA suggested that he and Ohka should retire right away but Ohka stopped him. HEAT-UP were given the chance to give the show closing speech but it devolved into another brawl between the two sides. Kanehira got the last words in and said BASEMENT MON☆STAR is heating up!
Since Keisuke Ishii and Yumehito Imanari are both hosting their own shows later today they faced off here. Ishii won with the Tiger Suplex and then the Double Arm Neck Lock.
Ohka announced early in the show that Moeka Haruhi was unable to appear today. Haruhi was standing beside him when he said this. She was “replaced” by the debuting “Reiwa”-ko. Haruhi was made to wrestle in different novelty masks that were bought from Don Quijote as the match went on.
Choun-Shiryu was given permission to use his weapons during his match with Shuichiro Katsumura. In return Katsumura put on heavy MMA gloves and they absorbed the impact from Shiryu’s Double Stomp. Katsumura gave him a Fisherman Buster then made him submit to the Ninja Choke.

6. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Keisuke Ishii (c) with the Ninja Choke (23:43). *Keisuke Ishii fails in V7. Shuichiro Katsumura becomes the 28th Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!
2019 in Ganbare☆Wrestling begins with a title change! Shuichiro Katsumura was taken to his limit by Keisuke Ishii until he countered the Double Arm DDT into the Ninja Choke for the tapout victory. Katsumura thanked Ishii for giving him another shot at the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title even thought Ishii already defended the belt against him last June. Katsumura also said that he now feels like he belongs in Ganpro. He nominated Shota as his first challenger because they are tied one a piece in singles matches. The match takes place on 26th January.
Although he lost the match, Yumehito Imanari talked about how much he idolised Minoru Fujita ever since he was a high school student. Imanari thought Fujita had a Lion Heart like Chris Jericho. Fujita shook Imanari’s hand but then gave him an Implant DDT and the Tombstone Piledriver. He doesn’t care what some fucking idiot from Ganpro thinks about him! Suddenly Moeka Haruhi entered the ring demanding a match against Fujita. Fujita accepted and tried to flirt with Haruhi. She kicked him in the face.
A bunch of wrestlers gave their new year’s resolution at the beginning of the show. Imanari wants to develop his own style of wrestling. Ishii wants to grow more as a wrestler and also help Ganpro become bigger. Kouki Iwasaki wants Ganpro to be the place to see frenetic fights. Shota wants to meet the expectations of his fans after having a bad 2018. Shuhei Washida wants to make up for the time he was away because of injury and become stronger in the process. HARUKAZE wants to have a whirlwind 2019. Haruhi was inspired by Imanari’s speech at Korakuen Hall in December and wants to show everyone the direction the company will go this year. Ken Ohka wants everybody to be themselves. Some of the roster may think they are doing this already but he wants them to really think if they are doing what they want to do in Ganpro. And of course, Ohka wants Ganpro to become a major pro wrestling league!
