And Now I’m Almost Caught Up

April 20, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CLIMB OVER ’23”, 22/04/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Shoko Nakajima, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara & Toga
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Raku Vs HIMAWARI
3. Vert Vixen Vs Moka Miyamoto
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Yuki Arai Vs Maki Itoh, Hikari Noa & Shino Suzuki
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

A contract signing was held for the Princess Tag Team Titles a few days ago. The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Pom Harajuku arrived to the building on time but Max The Impaler was nowhere to be seen. The three of them signed the contract anyway and gave comments about the upcoming match. Yuka Sakazaki said if Max does not show up for the title match then Harajuku will be too weak to wrestle by herself. Mizuki thinks the match will have to go ahead as a 2-On-1 Handicap match, which she thinks is convenient for her & Sakazaki. Harajuku was certain that Max would eventually show up and she was proven right. Max burst into the room, took a bite out of the contract, threw the remains at MagiRabi and then grabbed Harajuku and carried her out of the room. Sayuri Namba picked up the remains of the contract and declared it to be an official signature from Max so the title match will go ahead.

The potential next challengers could be coming out of the Daydream Vs Daisy Monkey match.

The trio known as Yuki Yuki Yuki are back teaming together to wrestle in front of a crowd for the first time. I don’t think they figured out who the team captain is yet.

Nao Kakuta is not on the show due to a schedule conflict. Also the teenagers Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo were not booked in order to avoid the burden of having to wrestle in Osaka and Tokyo on back to back days.

6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko

Everybody in the main event will be wrestling in somebody else’s costume.

Max The Impaler and Vert Vixen get to be the first foreign wrestlers to participate in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s fan club shows. Unless you count all of those last minute replacement gimmicks that always show up when somebody else gets unusually sick…

Banana Senga’s schedule is preventing him from appearing in BASARA again until May so Takumi Tsukamoto has to keep himself busy until then. Tsukamoto leads Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe to take on Sparky in an Elimination Tag Match.

A mystery opponent awaits for FUMA.

Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka are still teaming together like they promised after they failed to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles.

2. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Sawyer Wreck

Suzume thought it was impossible she would ever be a pro wrestler but Rika Tatsumi inspired her to do it. Now Suzume thinks it is impossible to beat Tatsumi and become the International Princess Champion. She’s done the impossible with the former so maybe she can do it again with the latter!

Yuki Arai fought against and lost to Maki Itoh in her debut match two years ago. They will now be tag partners for Arai’s 2nd Anniversary match. Their opponents are Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima doing a Miraclians reunion.

BASARA “BASARA 218 ~TAKAGARI 17~”, 13/05/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

When Senga is ready to return to BASARA he will put the Union MAX Title on the line against Tsukamoto. Senga found out he gets paid more money as a champion so he wants to earn enough money to get a hair transplant in Turkey (because it’s cheaper there than in Japan). Tsukamoto wants to be the MAX Champion again so he can try to break his tied record for the most title defences.

The opening match took place on the first show where Hentai Punch Drunkers eliminated Daishoken. The finish came when Hikaru Sato blocked the Spear Of Flame from Ken Ohka and turned it into a Front Sleeper. He then brought Ohka down to the mat and turned it into a Cross Armbreaker to make Ohka give up. Afterwards Sato introduced Tyson Maeguchi as the new hero of the world of Punch Drunkers. They advance to the final on 5th May.

Earlier this week Sanshiro Takagi asked Jun Akiyama to give the four student club wrestlers a training session at DDT’s dojo. Takagi remembered the story of MEN’S Teioh from his student pro wrestling days getting guidance from Giant Baba. This happened because Baba did not want to see Teioh get injured in the ring from having no proper training at the time. Since Akiyama is a disciple of Baba he was the perfect choice to teach Great-GO-Khan, Mazakon Kid, Macho Gallows and Dopyu♡McIntyre the basics of pro wrestling from lock ups to submission holds to rope work. Afterwards Akiyama told the media on site that if there are more student wrestlers who want to join DDT he will be there to welcome them.

Toi Kojima has picked up a fever and will not be able to appear on the show this Sunday. He’s been removed from the Pheromones Rumble.

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.

1. Shota defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Gargano Escape (11:37).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Kabuto Mitomi defeated Soma Takao & Yuki Kanzaki when Imanari pinned Kanzaki with the Lariat (14:01).

4. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Keisuke Ishii defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson when Ishii pinned Katsumura wit the Locomotion High Angle Double Arm DDT (13:39).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Elbow Butt (18:31).
*V3 for Mizuki Watase.

Just like he promised, a damaged right arm didn’t stop Mizuki Watase from defending the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against Shinichiro Tominaga. His arm was targeted by the challenger but Watase fought through the pain and even used his right elbow to smash Tominaga over and over until he couldn’t kick out anymore. Watase said after the match that having hot matches helps make him grow. As long as he is in a ring and has the Spirit Of Ganbare Title, he wonders how far can he run? Which is why at the end of March Watase will be going to wrestle in America! He is doing this to set a small fire for Ganbare☆Pro that will eventually set the world ablaze!

Ganpro advisor Michiyoshi Mishima had an announcement about the newly created Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. There will be a 4 team tournament taking place to crown the first champions beginning on 25th March with the final taking place on 1st May. Ken Ohka later asked Keisuke Ishii to enter the tournament together because they won their match today. Ishii turned him down because he has other plans in mind. Ohka then asked Shuichiro Katsumura to team with him. It took a little bit of convincing but Katsumura agreed to do it.

Both Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE gave words of encouragement to YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa for their intentions to relaunch Ganbare☆Joshi. Haruhi said it was a brand started by themselves and Yuna Manase so she has high hopes for YuuRI & Hasegawa to carry it on. HARUKAZE also promised to do her best to support their efforts. Hasegawa talked about her original home promotion shutting down while she was away from wrestling. She had no place to return to until she found Ganpro. She wants to help build Ganjo into a brand that Manase can return to as well as be the place where Riara makes her debut. YuuRI said they will do her best on the reboot show on 1st April so all six Ganjo members can someday create a new story together!

3e. Shinichiro Tominaga (C) eliminated Mizuki Watase (C) by TKO with the Watase-Style Front Neck Lock (14:54).
4. Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota when Takao pinned Shota with the Official Endless Waltz (16:08).

Soma Takao got one over on Shota in the latest match of their rivalry by catching him in the Official Endless Waltz for the three count. After the match ended Shota said he wanted to show his growth as a pro wrestler when he came back from America. That’s why he constantly wrestled against Takao instead of reforming ROMANCE DAWN with him. However the recent announcement of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles being established made Shota rethink his plans. He wants to win those belts with Takao! ROMANCE DAWN are going to be back together. But before they do Shota and Takao agreed to have a singles match against each other to settle their rivalry once and for all.

Mizuki Watase got some revenge on Shinichiro Tominaga for what happened earlier today. On the first show Tominaga made Watase submit in the main event. Here on the second show Watase got Tominaga to pass out to a Wrist-Clutch Front Neck Lock! Afterwards Watase brought up the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match happening in two days time. He said nobody comes to Ganbare☆Pro shows wanting to see the wrestlers think about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Any wrestler with that mindset does not deserve the title. Watase’s arm was already hurt but now so is Tominaga’s. Will Tominaga be willing to risk his arm to become the champion?

When the second show began, Shuichiro Katsumura said he was feeling tired but realised that there were fans in the audience who paid to see all three Ganpro shows today. According to him the ticket sales mean those fans are supporting the Japanese economy!

The second show of today’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleshot was all put together by Shuichiro Katsumura. It was a tiring event for him because he ended up wrestling in four matches of some sort. In the main event he did what he could with the energy he had left. He did well enough to put HARASHIMA in the Ninja Choke but that got broken up. Tsuyoshi Okada tagged in but found himself on the receiving end of the entire opposition’s attacks. It ended with HARASHIMA pinning Okada with the Somato. Katsumura said there are still eleven months left in the year so his goal is to have singles matches against HARASHIMA, Mizuki Watase & Keisuke Ishii by the end this year! He also said backstage he wants to produce three more GanPro shows this year so the stage is set for his goal to be completed.

The GanPro debut of former Pancrase fighter Takuya Wada was an odd one. His opponent was revealed to be Hong Kong International Policeman (Choun-Shiryu). Wada did not know who he was. When Policeman began introducing himself to everyone, Wada quickly put him in a Sleeper Hold and won the match in under 30 seconds. The match restarted and this time Policeman bribed the referee with 20,000 yen to tilt the match in his favour. America International Policeman (Shota) then walked to the ring with Wada’s phone and threatened to destroy it. Wada pleaded at him to stop and agreed to let Hong Kong Policeman bind his hands together with a wire. However Wada waited for an opening and attacked both his opponent and the referee despite having his hands tied together. He found a way to put Hong Kong Policeman in a Crossface and Policeman gave up. Wada thought his first GanPro experience was amazing and he’d be happy to come back here again.

The first match of the event was a series of grappling bouts between Katsumura and three opponents. Everyone involved took part wearing their own grappling gear of some sort. Katsumura was able to submit both Munetatsu Nakamura and HARUKAZE in his first two matches. The third was against an unannounced opponent and it was revealed to be HARASHIMA! Their match went to a five minute draw with both of them fighting over Heel Hooks in the final moments.
