6. Osaka Special 8-Woman Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo
No title changes for Tokyo Joshi Pro yesterday so that means Shoko Nakajima and Mizuki are added to tomorrow’s main event. Rika Tatsumi takes Yuka Sakazaki’s place on the team after Sakazaki was invited by AEW to enter a qualifying match for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. She takes on Riho for a spot in the tournament on the next episode of Rampage.

6. Yuna Manase Triumphant Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari, Kaji Tomato & Yuna Manase Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shota & Ayame Sasamura
Remember that story about how a young Shinichiro Tominaga once tried to get into K-DOJO? That’s why he considers Chiba his second home. Both GENTARO & Yasu Urano were involved with K-DOJO at the time Tominaga tried to get in. After all these years will they accept the wrestler he has grown into?
It was a big surprise to see Naoya Nomura show up yesterday asking to wrestle a match in Ganpro. He and Mizuki Watase have formed team in Capture International called REAL BLOOD and they are ready to show it to a new audience. Watase wants everyone to know that he wrestles in other places besides Ganpro so an alliance like this did not come from out of nowhere.
GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA”, 10/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. Special Tag Match ~ CDK Vs ROMANCE DAWN: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shota & Soma Takao
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Ken Ohka
The biggest match in Ganpro history is set. Ken Ohka founded Ganpro in 2013 and Yumehito Imanari was his very first signing. Fast forward to 2022 and they will fight each other in a headline match at Ota Ward Gymnsium. Imanari’s newly won Spirit Of Ganbare Title will also be on the line.
Shota & Soma Takao are having a blast teaming together as ROMANCE DAWN. They now want to take on the best teams around and that means CDK are in their sights. CDK are ready for them but are a little confused that ROMANCE DAWN have not asked for any of their tag team championships to be on the line. For now the match is non-title and advertised as a special attraction.

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2022”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
380 Fans
1. Punch Drunker Vs Nobleman Of The Spirit World: Onryo defeated Tyson Maeguchi with a Cradle (9:30).
2. Ganpro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: HARUKAZE & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Yuu Yamagata & Shinichiro Tominaga when Okada submitted Tominaga with a Cross Armbreaker (6:40).
3. Nippon Ganbare Union Vs VENYU Full-Scale Battle: Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Kamifuku pinned YuuRI with the Famouser (11:30).
4. Ganpro’s Famous 3 Way Battle! ROMANCE DAWN Vs ChocoPro Vs BASARA: Shota & Soma Takao defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda and Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano when Shota pinned Honda with the Gannosuke Clutch (14:43).
5. Ganpro Special Single Match ~A Better Tomorrow~: Ken Ohka defeated Muscle Sakai with 3 Flame Spears in a row (11:09).
6. LOVE PHANTOM 2022 ~Special Tag Match~: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase when Ishii pinned Watase with the Kneel Kick (21:56).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) with a Lariat (17:20).
*Tatsuhito Takaiwa fails in V4. Yumehito Imanari becomes the 2nd Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!
The Imanari Revolution that began four years ago has reached its climax. Yumehito Imanari is the new Spirit Of Ganbare Champion! The first champion Tatsuhito Takaiwa looked to be unbeatable especially when he used the Death Valley Bomb to put away all challengers. But today Imanari withstood the move, forcing the champion to hit an Avalanche version and tiring him out in the process. The two got into a Lariat duel until Imanari gave Takaiwa a taste of his own medicine by using his own finisher on him! Takaiwa kicked out at two but was finally down for the count after Imanari hit him with one more Lariat.
Imanari thanked Takaiwa for coming to Ganbare☆Pro and increasing the value of the title by being its first champion. Imanari defeated him today but the respect he has for him remains the same. Takaiwa told Imanari to polish the belt and make it even more valuable. He also gave out words of encouragement for the injured Shinjiro Otani. When he left, Ken Ohka came out and challenged Imanari for a title shot at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 10th July. Imanari accepted because if it wasn’t for Ohka and Ganpro, he would not be in this position today.
The pure-blooded tag team match showdown between Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki against Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase was a hard fought battle. Watase was taken to his limit by Ishii. It took two Tiger Suplexes and the Kneel Kick to finally put him away. Katsumura wants it to be known that these four all represent Ganpro and it is up to them to make Ganpro more exciting. He also welcomes adding more wrestlers to the promotion. He said this in response to the big appearance after the match.
Former All Japan wrestler Naoya Nomura entered the ring after the tag match. He called it an exciting match, one that makes him want to be involved with them. So on 14th May when Ganpro goes to Chiba he wants to wrestle a match there! Nomura is currently involved with a promotion called Capture International where he and Watase formed a team called REAL BLOOD. He asked Watase if they should bring REAL BLOOD to Ganpro!
Ken Ohka’s journey back to the top of the mountain he created led him to an emotional match with his close friend Muscle Sakai. Their match featured voices coming from their hearts, interrupting the action to tell the audience what their friendship meant to them. It also revealed their true motives. Sakai wants to beat Ohka while Ohka never wants to lose! In the end Ohka had to hit Sakai with the Fire Spear three times before he finally won. Ohka declared his challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title afterwards and spoke of his joy over getting to wrestle Sakai again. Sakai spoke of discovering something thanks to this match. He found out he does his best when his opponent is trying to kill him!
The 3 Way Tag match ended with ROMANCE DAWN getting their hands raised. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda almost had Takumi Tsukamoto beaten but Yasu Urano made the save. Honda then got into an exchange with Shota. He started winding up for a big Bionic Elbow when Shota suddenly rolled him over with the Gannosuke Clutch to score the three count. Shota said he’s been teaming with Soma Takao for half a year now and they’re getting good responses. It makes him enthusiastic to fight the best tag teams out there so he wants ROMANCE DAWN to take on CDK at Ota Ward Gym! Masahiro Takanashi questioned if Shota only wants it to be a “Special Tag Match” and not for any of their tag team championships. But he accepted the challenge to a match on 10th July.
The friendship between Yuna Manase and Yuki Kamifuku was briefly put aside when Nippon Ganbare Union took on VENYU. The heavy hits came from Manase and Asuka while YuuRI stepped up to give Kamifuku some trouble. Asuka wiped out Manase with an Asai Moonsault. YuuRI’s momentum of nearfalls got cut down when Kamifuku gave her the Famouser. The win for VENYU was a natural result according to Asuka. Manase and Kamifuku though put aside their problems and shook hands after the match.
A mixed tag match reunited HARUKAZE with Yuu Yamagata, although they were on opposite sides here. The result was determined by the men though when Tsuyoshi Okada made Shinichiro Tominaga submit to a Cross Armbreaker.
No matter how much Tyson Maeguchi is learning about pro wrestling, nothing could have prepared him for Onryo. Plenty of dusty ectoplasm flew around and covered Maeguchi inside, outside and even underneath the ring. A referee distraction caused Maeguchi to get blinded with more powder so Onryo could roll him up for the three count.

BURNING has a two pronged attack going into this show. Tetsuya Endo is confident he will defend the KO-D Openweight Title against Yuki Ueno next month but Ueno thinks it is a guarantee that he will beat Endo instead. Jun Akiyama will be challenging CDK for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon and made it known he dislikes their cheating ways, like when they get the referee physically involved in their matches.
MAO gets another tag match against Asuka & Yuji Hino. This time he has Shunma Katsumata teaming with him.

He won’t give any hints unless he gets goes out and gets drunk with a reporter that will pay his tab.
The brief period of success for Toui Kojima has worn off and he is back to his losing ways. He won a match after fighting Shinya Aoki and thinks doing it again will bring him back to winning ways.

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Hyper Misao
Now it is Kyoraku Kyomei who are fighting over the Princess Of Princess Title. The challenge was made by Hyper Misao in order to become stronger. She needs to fight the toughest opponent and that right now is Shoko Nakajima. The two are still friends but Misao quickly launched the first shot, giving Nakajima a Stunner to warn her to keep her guard up at all times!
The Magical Sugar Rabbits are not taking Free WiFi seriously. They kept making connectivity jokes instead of accepting their opponents’ challenge.
Tokyo Joshi Pro has confirmed that Reika Saiki’s retirement ceremony will be held during the show.

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari
The contract for the main event has been signed but Yumehito Imanari is looking out of his depth. Tatsuhito Takaiwa tricked him into lowering his guard so he could hit him with a Lariat during the signing. He previously beat Imanari to become the Spirit Of Ganbare Title but that was part of a tournament. Since both wrestlers will be fresh going into the match this time, Takaiwa wonders if the true champion is going to be determined.
Match #4 will not be happening. Shinjiro Otani suffered a scary injury at yesterday’s ZERO1 show in Sumo Hall when he took a German Suplex into the turnbuckles. He is still conscious but hasn’t been able to move his limbs since. There is no official diagnosis yet but Otani’s wrestling career might be over.
An old friend of Ken Ohka has come to offer him guidance. Muscle Sakai misses the days when Ganbare☆Pro was built around Ohka and wants him to headline Ganpro’s biggest show in Ota Ward Gymnasium this Summer. But Ohka is nowhere near ready for it so Sakai will wrestle him to bring that spark back and prepare him for his return to the main event.
Yuna Manase got a surprise visit from a friend too. Yuki Kamifuku is calling by Ganpro for a visit so she can catch up with her. However Kamifuku is now besties with Asuka while Manase has formed the Nippon Ganbare Union with YuuRI. If that’s not enough, one of YuuRI’s first matches in Ganpro was a disappointed effort against Asuka. This is her chance to make up for it by putting up a better fight.

8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino
Arisuzu have a brand new tag team name. Suzume is the Daisy and Arisu Endo is the Monkey so together they are now called Daisy Monkey!
Saki Akai & Yuki Arai got together during the week for a special training session. First they announced their tag team name. They are called Reiwa AA Cannon. The AA stands for two things. They have the same blood type (A) and they both won the same Award for Best Newcomer from Tokyo Sports. Or maybe it’s just both of their surnames beginning with A and somebody wanted to make a BI Cannon reference. Akai wanted to teach Arai the most important thing in pro wrestling… The ring entrance! It is what shows off the individuality of a pro wrestler the most and walking out there looking like a bore will make fans lose interest. Arai agrees because it was the entrances that caught her eye when she saw pro wrestling for the first time. Akai taught Arai to copy her entrance and in returned then tried to replicate Arai’s entrance.

7. Tetsuya Endo 10th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
10 years of Tetsuya Endo will be celebrated in the main event. Looking back on his debut I’m surprised Akito isn’t part of his match because Endo submitted to him back then. Keisuke Ishii and the wrestler now known as Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi were the other two people in that match but I can understand why DDT didn’t bring them over. How about this for trivia? Endo’s original tag partner for his debut was supposed to be another DDT rookie Takashi Dai. Unfortunately he suffered a career ending injury in his own debut match two weeks earlier so Ishii replaced him.
After this show Konosuke Takeshita will take part in an Youtube autograph signing and then that’s it for him in DDT for the time being. Don’t be surprised if he shows up somewhere in AEW next week because it sounds like the beginning of his excursion is imminent.
It’s unusual to see two KO-D championship matches placed so early on the card back to back. I don’t know what the schedules outside of DDT are like for the wrestlers involved so I can’t say for certain if it is because somebody is working somewhere else later that day. I don’t think it is for the partial live broadcast on Youtube either because it’s just the two dark matches that are being advertised for that.

6. DDT x ONLY WE Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yuji Hino & Quiet Storm Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Shogun Okamoto & Akira Raijin
DDT is brought back into the world of ONLY WE and the group’s feud with PERON GRANDES. Joining the two sides is HARASHIMA teaming with ONLY WE and Daisuke Sasaki teaming with PERON GRANDES.
A nice little reunion for The Iyasareru is happening here. Or maybe not given who their opponents are. I can’t tell if DDT switching the naming positions of Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno on upcoming cards is an intentional hint of something coming up on the horizon or just a sign that Iino has become the centerpiece of Pheromones. Iino has been the more successful of the two in-ring recently but Dieno still looks like he is calling the shots.

After the masked man’s debut in January, Shishamo Power is back to wrestle in Tokyo for the first time but so far his trainer Toru Owashi is nowhere to be seen. He is teaming with Naomi Yoshimura but his opponents remain the same. Akito & Yukio Naya do not want the people to eat fish like Shishamo recommends. They are meat eaters through and through!

6. Kobe Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Genki Horiguchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Antonio Honda
The addition of Genki Horiguchi to the show means Kazuki Hirata gets to take another step on his journey through the Dragon System. There’s an alternate universe where Hirata never left Kobe and instead he made it onto the DRAGONGATE roster. Who knows where his wrestling career would have taken him from there? I bet he and Horiguchi would have turned face and heel on each other at least twice both ways.

It was revealed yesterday that Konosuke Takeshita is travelling to America to wrestle for AEW next month. He wrestled three matches for them in Jacksonville last year and it only motivated him to come back even bigger. His goal this time is to wrestle on TV shows like Dynamite and Rampage as well as to become a champion against the high level of competition AEW has. His stay will last a lot longer with no return date planned at the moment. He claims he won’t be using a return ticket, he only has an outbound flight in his itinerary. Although he promised he will find a way to come back to DDT for big matches every now and then. He said he is grateful to both DDT and AEW for giving him this opportunity. Takeshita is promoting this as Chapter 2 of his wrestling career.
DDT “APRIL FOOL 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/04/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida
2. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul

5. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Maya Yukihi & Akito
6. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima
7. Yokohama Specialty Special Tag Match: MAO & Chris Brookes Vs Asuka & Yuji Hino
A few of the matches coming out of yesterday’s Korakuen Hall show are getting preview bouts in Yokohama. There is also the announcement that an “athlete” who wants to participate in DDT will be at the show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
2. Marika Kobashi Vs Raku
3. Hyper Misao Vs Miu Watanabe
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Juria Nagano
5. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino
The new Princess Of Princess Champion doesn’t have to wait long for her first defence. Shoko Nakajima takes on Yuki Aino who is forging a new path on her own now that her sister has graduated. She is confident she can take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro like the previous champions have done before her.
Arisuzu aren’t shy about showing off their bond and think it is strong enough to dethrone The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The Princess Tag Team Champions are using their reign to show TJPW a whole new world filled with glitter and sparkles but they warn their challengers there is so much more to them than that.
It’s been a year and a half since Saki Akai was last in TJPW. She pops by again to team with Yuki Arai.
Can’t ask for a tougher second match for Juria Nagano. It’s Karate versus Karate when she has to take on Miyu Yamashita.
This will be Marika Kobashi’s last match in Korakuen Hall.
GANBARE☆PRO “CRY BABY 2022”, 09/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

4. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tyson Maeguchi
5. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Ken Ohka Vs Mizuki Watase
A fired up Mizuki Watase wants to climb to the top of Ganbare☆Pro because he doesn’t think Ken Ohka is on that level anymore. He pinned him over the weekend so they’re going to have a singles match to settle their beef.
DDT “APRIL FOOL 22”, 10/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
0. Dark Match: Toui Kojima & El Unicorn Vs Yuya Koroku & Ilusion

6. Tetsuya Endo 10th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
DDT’s next visit to Korakuen is to celebrate Tetsuya Endo’s 10th Anniversary! A lot of people important to his career will be part of his commemorative match.
We’re going to get a look through DDT’s history of women’s wrestling with Bambi & Cherry coming back for a special match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi have been looking for a reason to team together and this one seems to be just right.
El Unicorn returns after missing the Sumo Hall show with covid. He and Ilusion still have their rivalry building up. It is fitting to see that mixed together with the Toui Kojima and Yuya Koroku feud.
DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan
1. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
With Takeshita taking a leave of absence to go wrestling in AEW soon, Yuki Ueno is looking to pick up the torch and be the man to carry DDT into the future instead of Endo. It will be the first defence of the new KO-D Openweight Title belt too.
MAO is also showing a desire to wrestle abroad again and he wants the DDT Universal Title to help him do it. He challenged anyone with an international presence to face him in a title match. Asuka accepted the challenge, pointing out a recent tour of Italy and an upcoming tour of the UK as suitable qualifications to get the title shot.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
Former TJPW wrestler Reika Saiki announced she will be retiring from pro wrestling and muscle fitness this May. According to Saiki, TJPW will be hosting her retirement ceremony. There will be more to write about this when TJPW officially advertises it on their end.
GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2022”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari
It was Yumehito Imanari who Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated to be crowned the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. Enough time has passed for Imanari to take another crack at it. He is already playing mind games by claiming the hype video for the match will only feature footage of himself and there will be no clips of Takaiwa at all.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
119 Fans
1. ROMANCE DAWN Vs Wrestle Drunkers: Shota & Soma Takao defeated Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi when Shota pinned Maeguchi with the Gannosuke Clutch (9:25).
2. Ganjo Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi, Maya Yukihi & Ann Cham defeated Yuna Manase, HARUKAZE & YuuRI when Haruhi submitted YuuRI with the 79.5MHz (9:11).
3. Special Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari defeated Shigehiro Irie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Imanari pinned Shimatani with the Lou Thesz Press (17:36).
4. Ganpro & ChocoPro Union Vs Power Of Tiger: Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase defeated Ken Ohka & Baliyan Akki when Watase pinned Ohka with the Back Drop (16:24).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (24:33).
*V3 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
The Strongest Super Dragon defeats The Strongest Amateur! Tatsuhito Takaiwa was impressed by Shinichiro Tominaga though and told him he is not an amateur anymore. Takaiwa encourage him to try again because he would like to wrestle him one more time. Yumehito Imanari then challenged Takaiwa for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title at Korakuen Hall on 3rd May. Since Imanari is in charge of the video production, he says the hype video of the match will be all about him and Takaiwa won’t be in it at all! Takaiwa accepted the challenge and told Imanari he doesn’t mind the video as long as Imanari doesn’t do anything embarrassing with it.
Mizuki Watase fired himself up and scored a pinfall on Ken Ohka! Backstage Watase said there are a lot of wrestlers in Ganbare☆Pro who can the main attraction but Ohka isn’t one of them anymore. He needs to show his mettle and prove he belongs at the top. Ohka took offence to his comments and challenged Watase to a singles match on 9th April.

4. Ganpro & ChocoPro Union Vs Power Of Tiger: Ken Ohka & Baliyan Akki Vs Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
This is the match order for Ganbare☆Pro’s show tomorrow. The main event might be the culmination of Shinichiro Tominaga’s entire pro wrestling career. The “amateur” pro wrestler has always supported Ganpro even though he was never a full blown member of the roster. But if he was to beat Tatsuhito Takaiwa it would be a massive victory for the home team.
DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2022”, 27/03/2022

1. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani

7. After Judgement 2022 Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
A new KO-D Openweight Title belt will be given to Tetsuya Endo but will somebody step forth and challenge him for the title shot in May?
DDT doesn’t care if Michael Nakazawa is with AEW and booked in a title match, he is not going to main event the show!
DDT “APRIL FOOL 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/04/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida
2. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul
3. Masahiro Takanashi & Soma Takao Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Maya Yukihi & Akito
The bad blood between Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi has all been washed away but they are still going to be fierce opponents even though Yukihi requested to team up with Akai. She also has to deal with Antonio Honda for the first time ever. At the time of writing, Honda is today the latest Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion.
Footage of Honda winning the Iron Man Title has appeared online. The champion Lingling somehow lost the title to an apple during the filming of a CyberFight talk show on ABEMA. She was challenged to crush the apple with her bare hand but she couldn’t do it. When she told the referee she gave up, he took her words literally and declared the apple as the new champion. Honda then walked in and fought the apple, narrowly pinning it after a close fight to take the title.
DDT “KOMINATO RAILWAY TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 02/04/2022

3. Yoro Valley Day 2022 Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
The Battle Royal will take place on a moving train, I assume with every participant entering separately at different train stations. Only Hiroshi Yamato is being advertised in advance. The rest of the participants will not be revealed until the day of the show. The other two matches will be held in a wrestling ring set up at the final destination of Yoro Gorge Station, starting minutes after the Battle Royal train arrives.

2. Katsumura-gun Vs ROMANCE DAWN: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada Vs Shota & Soma Takao
Tsuyoshi Okada is hanging around Ganpro a little more than usual lately. He is somebody who before has popped up on shows here and there but maybe he’s committing to the place a little bit more this year. He’s been a good teammate for Shuichiro Katsumura so maybe he’s just happy helping a friend out.

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
A press conference was held between the wrestlers participating in the inter-promotional match between Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro. Both Nao Kakuta and Yuna Manase want their teams to put on an exciting match fitting for Sumo Hall. It is the first time Kakuta really feels like she is part of TJPW and she wants to show Manase she is not the same person she was back in Actwres girl’Z. The other members of Team TJPW shared their thoughts. Mahiro Kiryu is keeping her eyes open at the rest of Team Ganpro because she doesn’t know much about them. She does like mahjong though so she wants to win with a high score. Haruna Neko wants to do everything she can as a cat and will scratch everyone. Kaya Toribami admits to being the least experienced girl on the team but reminds everyone that her mask is based on the most ferocious bird in the world, the cassowary. She will learn from her opponents to become strong and deserving of wearing the mask.
The members of Ganbare☆Joshi then spoke. YuuRI is glad to wrestle in Sumo Hall where she discovered pro wrestling in the first place. HARUKAZE described how Ganpro picked her up and gave her friends so the company is an important family to her. She wants to make the name of Ganpro known to everyone. Moeka Haruhi called Manase the Sun of Ganpro while she is the Rainbow. When Manase challenged TJPW in the first place, everyone in Ganjo decided to join her. Just don’t miss the rainbow while you’re busy looking at the sun. Manase wanted her team to show more energy so they started chanting “Ganjo!” over and over. Kakuta told them the blue flame is hotter than the red flame which is why Team TJPW are staying calm in response to them. Manase then gave a passionate rant about wanting their match to have so much heat behind it. The conference ended with a fist bump between the team captains.
Two special guest ring announcers will be at the show. The “Anime Idol Chick” Minami Momochi was Tokyo Joshi’s ring announcer for the first four years of the promotion. Kero Tanaka is the famous ring announcer from the 1980s and 1990s who has worked with TJPW before at some of their previous Ittenyon shows. They will each announce one or two matches on the day.

9. KO-D Openweight Title – Japan Bakery Marketing Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
Yesterday the celebrity couple of LiLiCo & Ryohei Odai were hard at work training with Akito for LiLiCo’s retirement match. Odai isn’t in shape and had trouble even stretching during the warmups. He then got back pain from running the ropes. Meanwhile LiLiCo had no trouble training for wrestling again and worked out how to move around the ring without putting stress on her injured knees. Akito then put together some double team moves with LiLiCo before setting up an extreme training exercise. He stripped down to his O-back and went into the Hell Gate position on the corner. He explained they need to get used to having their faces thrown into another person’s ass because that is what Pheromones like to do. Suddenly Pheromones themselves appeared and attacked Akito, stripping him naked! Odai couldn’t help because of his back pain and he collapsed with LiLiCo when they tried the double team attack they learned. Pheromones left after a confrontation with LiLiCo where they said they will see her at Sumo Hall. Akito told Odai to train his hips more while LiLiCo promised to win using the love between a husband and wife!
GANBARE☆PRO “FIFTH ELEMENT 2022”, 26/03/2022

1. Ganjo Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, HARUKAZE & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi, Maya Yukihi & Ann Cham
2. ROMANCE DAWN Vs Wrestle Drunkers: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
The so-called strongest amateur pro wrestler in Japan Shinichiro Tominaga is the one who is challenging Tatsuhito Takaiwa next. Takaiwa is trying to raise the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title‘s prestige up to the highest level in Japan and fighting somebody on the level on Tominaga will not help him. However he sees potential in the guy and if Tominaga can live up to that potential it may not be a waste of time after all.
The bond between Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi has grown stronger after they fought each other. They want to continue wrestling together as tag partners and opponents so it looks like Wrestle Drunkers are here to stay!
Irie is booked for the show but it will depend on how quickly he recovers from covid. Nobuhiro Shimatani is also advertised to appear.

GANBARE☆PRO “MERCURY RISING 2022”, 06/03/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
105 Fans
1. Nippon Ganbare Union To Become AAAW Tag Team Champions: Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Cherry & Sayaka when Manase pinned Sayaka with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:28).
2. Ganpro Mixed Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Moeka Haruhi defeated Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE when Haruhi pinned HARUKAZE with the Foot Stomp (10:50).
3. Tiger & Tiger Vs Power Of Nobu: Kouki Iwasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase when Shimatani pinned Katsumura with a Jackknife Pin (17:44).
4. Special Single Match – Wrestle Drunker Vs Punch Drunker: Keisuke Ishii defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Throwaway Tiger Suplex (9:20).
5. Takaiwa Army Vs Ganpro Full-Scale Battle: Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa, 5th Black Tiger & Kenya Maeda when Tominaga pinned Maeda with the Moonsault Press (14:50).
A new challenger has stepped forth for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. The “amateur” himself Shinichiro Tominaga picked up the win in the main event and threw out the challenge to Tatsuhito Takaiwa. The match will be the Strongest Super Dragon against the Strongest Amateur! Takaiwa wants to raise the title’s prestige to match those from the IWGP and GHC brands so it should not be fought for by amateurs. However he accepted Tominaga’s challenge in the hopes that Tominaga will improve and fight him with full determination. The title match will take place on 26th March at Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
Both Keisuke Ishii and Tyson Maeguchi are buzzing after their match against each other. Whether it’s as a tag team or as opponents, Ishii wants to continue wrestling with the ex-kickboxer. Maeguchi would prefer they stay as opponents so they can have more exciting matches against each other.
Ken Ohka has picked a fight with ChocoPro! Last week he made an unexpected appearance at one of their shows challenging Baliyan Akki for the Super Asia Title and left him laying with the Spear Of Fire. Akki showed up at Ganbare☆Pro today to confront Ohka over his actions. He said that person isn’t the hungry Ken Ohka he knew when he wrestled for Ganpro years ago. If that person doesn’t show up at Ichigaya Chocolate Square on 12th March then he won’t have a chance to win the title. Ohka knows the deal. He is going to ChocoPro on his own with no backup so he cannot mess up this opportunity! The two got into a fight and Mizuki Watase broke them up. He told Ohka afterwards he is defending Ganpro’s honour in this fight so he must not lose.

*V2 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
A hot topic in Japanese wrestling right now is how hard the old guard are fighting to stay in the spotlight. It’s happening in Ganbare☆Pro too where Tatsuhito Takaiwa has a tight grip on the new Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He successfully defended the championship against Kouki Iwasaki in the main event of Korakuen Hall after a hard fought battle. Any hope Ganpro had of their “young general” bringing the belt back home failed to materialize after the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb put him away. Takaiwa called the match the toughest he’s had in years because he is not good against kickers. Iwasaki agreed, describing the champion as a man who crawled up from Hell. Takaiwa is being a good spirit despite being somewhat of an outsider. He made a promise to help Ganpro grow bigger while he is their champion and welcomes anyone to come challenge him. He is willing to have a rematch against Iwasaki but he also wants to learn more about the rest of the roster for potential opponents.
The trio of Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were too strong from ROMANCE DAWN & Shinichiro Tominaga to sail through. Irie smashed through Soma Takao with the Traffic Accident while Ishii took Shota out of play. That left Tominaga on his own ducking and diving all of his opponent’s big moves. He dodged the Beast Bomber and Kneel Kick but Ohka finally caught him with the Flame Spear to get the win.
In December 2015 The Great Sasuke gave Yumehito Imanari a “Great Prophecy” predicting he would have a breakout year in 2016. Nothing has happened since then and Imanari puts the blame on Sasuke for giving him a false blessing. That is what led to their singles match today. Sasuke, being the nutjob he is, did a Senton Bomb to the floor and missed. He was able to keep fighting until Imanari beat him with a Lariat. A tearful Imanari told Sasuke he still believes in the prophecy because it drives him to do his best. Sasuke gave an excuse that his prophecies sometimes have a time lag so Imanari’s one will definitely come true this year!
The Mixed Tag Match brought violence on an absurd level with some of the bizarre weapons being used. Mizuki Watase wore a tiger paw glove covered in barbed wire, HARUKAZE carried a garbage bag filled with empty plastic bottles, Akane Fujita had a baseball bat covered in thumbtacks and Shunma Katsumata had a bad with toy blocks stuck to it. Other weapons used included chairs, a ladder, an acupressure foot mat, steel cans and concrete blocks. Katsumata & Fujita kept accusing each other of stealing their own weapon ideas but had to get along out of necessity to win the match. Katsumata told Akane they keep winning together but they should stop before Sanshiro Takagi decides to make them team up again. Akane said that’s his problem and she will team with whoever the company offers to her. Watase & HARUKAZE enjoyed doing the match and like the idea of becoming a Hardcore Manzai tag team.
The Ganbare☆Joshi division was put on display in Match #2. YuuRI was put through the wringer by Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi so Yuna Manase used her own size and power to spark a comeback. YuuRI also got her second wind but it couldn’t last against Yukihi. After Haruhi got Manase out of the ring, Yukihi stretched and pulled YuuRI in the Whiteout until she gave up.
In the opening match Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada joined forces to beat Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi. It was a Power Bomb from Shimatani that was suddenly countered into a Triangle Choke from Katsumura that led to that result.
2022 is going to be a big year schedule wise for Ganpro. There will be three more Korakuen shows this year on 3rd May, 13th August and 27th December. Pocchari Joshi will also return for its third show on 26th April. But that’s not all. Ganpro are making their biggest gamble yet to become a major pro wrestling promotion. On 10th July they are going to run Ota Ward Gymnasium! When Ganpro began in 2013 Ohka only had 150,000 yen and Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic (now known as Ichigaya Chocolate Square) as a venue. He likes venues like that and Itabashi Green Hall but believes the time has come to grow bigger and become more major. That is why Ganpro is running Korakuen four times a year and also going to Ota Ward. He wants to keep the momentum going so one day Ganpro will reach Sumo Hall and the Tokyo Dome! He also said if Ganpro works hard and Japan works hard they can create a booming economy together!
