The Final Road Towards The End Of The Year Starts Now

December 2, 2025

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. 18th Anniversary Special Single Match ~ A Match Of Hate?: Chris Brookes Vs X
3. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

According to Chris Brookes on Twitter, today’s big show for Baka Gaijin + Friends has sold out of tickets!

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025”, 03/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
2. Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Hideki Okatani & Demus
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs HARASHIMA, Akito & Kumadori
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano

Some new title programs have opened up for DDT’s last few weeks of the year. We also have what could be the last ROMANCE DAWN tag match for a while. More on why that is later.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya Vs Yasu Urano & Rekka
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan
3. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
4. Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
5. 3 Way Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO Vs Choun Shiryu
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Ilusion Vs Hinata Kasai
2. 3 Way Match: To-y Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida

This will be the last time in 2025 that MAO will get to wrestle in his home area.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

A new tag team has shown up to challenge Ober Eats! It’s familiar territory for Yuki Aino as she finds herself back to being a tag wrestler but she’s happy to hear that Haru Kazashiro wants to team with her. YukiHaru are wasting no time and have quickly made the Princess Tag Team Titles their target.

The guests announced for the show so far are Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, J-Rod and Max The Impaler.

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025” Results

November 29, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
143 Fans

1. Choun Shiryu, Kaori Yoneyama & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi, Chika & MASA☆TAKA when Shiryu pinned TAKA with the Chinese Bombs Away (8:08).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Sentaro Motoshima when Imanari submitted Motoshima with a Bull Naked Choke (13:39).
3. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase, Rukiya & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (15:12).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI when Nakatsu submitted YuuRI with a Sleeper Hold (15:34).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (15:47).
*V3 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

Ken Ohka’s bad luck at fighting for singles championships continues as he failed to win his own promotion’s top title in his fourth attempt. He tried using a Dragon Suplex when the Spear Of Flame couldn’t get him the win but Masaaki Mochizuki wore him down with kicks until the Shin Saikyou High Kick finished the job. After the match Mochizuki said Ohka had gotten better since their previous match back in April but no matter how much Ohka closes the gap, Mochizuki will always be better than him. He then called out for someone to challenge him otherwise he will keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title going into 2026. Keisuke Ishii entered the ring and said he now believes he is the one to beat him. Mochizuki recognised Ishii because of his Kneel Kick and tried to remember if they competed in the same All Japan Jr. Heavyweight tournament about ten years ago. But he wants to see if his High Kick is better than Ishii’s Kneel Kick so the title match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th December. Ishii said he has main evented Korakuen six times but never won any of those matches. Mochizuki told him that what happened six times will happen seven times so be prepared.

Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI came so close to bringing the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home but a mistimed attack blew their chances. While Katsumura trapped Takumi Tsukamoto in an Ankle Lock, YuuRI grabbed Ryota Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold. Katsumura then went to throw a High Kick at Nakatsu but he ducked and YuuRI got hit instead. Nakatsu then put YuuRI in the Rear Naked Choke, forcing YuuRI to pass out in the move. While the champions celebrated their win, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga entered the ring to challenge them for the tag titles on 27th December. They are also now going by the tag team name Touchable and pointed out they are not some hastily put together duo like the recent batch of title challengers. Touchable have been wrestling together in Ganbare☆Pro as opponents and partners since April.

At the end of the show Ishii, Imanari & Tominaga were confronted by Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima and a fight broke out between the two groups. The younger wrestlers then challenged the veterans to a 6-Man Tag Match on 13th December and if they win, they will take the title shots booked for Korakuen Hall!

It was announced that Yuna Manase is bringing Toga and Chika Nanase from Tokyo Joshi Pro over for the 13th December show. The match will be Hot Shot against YuuRI & Nanase.

D GENERATIONS SP, YuuRI Gearing Up To A Big End Of The Year, Watanabe Vs Suzume At Ittenyon

November 10, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS SP”, 11/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima
3. To-y Vs Daichi Sato
4. Special Single Match: Daiki Nagai Vs Rukiya
5. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Katsuya Murashima Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori
6. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

Tomorrow is a big day for D GENERATIONS because their next show is in Shinjuku FACE rather than the outdoor theater at Ueno Park. There’s also a few young New Japan wrestlers involved too.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

An extra caveat of the Weapon Rumble is the weapons must be bought using only money that To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have won from gambling in the leadup to the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee

It’s been five years of YuuRI but can she make it to six when Sareee is standing in her way?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Ittenyon is getting something completely fresh for its headline match. As far as I know, Miu Watanabe and Suzume have only had two previous singles matches together and they were both in 2022. The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025” Results

November 9, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Fisherman Buster (9:53).
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa defeated Haruka Umesaki & Soy when YuuRI submitted Soy with a Spiral Dragon Sleeper (12:05).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase when Johnson pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife Pin (11:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Kneel Kick (11:53).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu by Referee Stoppage when Nakatsu used a Rear Naked Choke on Shiryu (18:52).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (19:57).
*V2 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

This was Yuna Manase’s second chance at becoming the first woman to win a Spirit Of Ganbare Championship. She is now also the second woman Masaaki Mochizuki ever had a singles match against, the first being Sakura Hirota twelve years ago. He wasn’t comfortable at first having to fight Manase but took her seriously when she went on the attack from the start of the match. Manase was able to kick out of the Twister but was pretty much out on her feet so Mochizuki finished her off with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (right leg instead of the left leg). He told her afterwards she doesn’t need to say anything about the match because everyone who came to see it understood it very well. He’s now starting to love wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro because of how fun it is and looks forward to facing his next challenger. He then helped walk Manase out of the ring and back to the locker room. Backstage Manase said she just had a championship match against Masaaki Mochizuki so she can absolutely call herself a pro wrestler and be proud of it.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka approached Michiyoshi Mishima and begged for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title shot so he can do his part to protect GanPro. He also thinks as the founder of the company it would be fitting if he was the one to beat Mochizuki for the title. Mishima said if Mochizuki will agree to it, he will put the match together. When Mochizuki learned of the idea, he pointed out that Ohka couldn’t beat Shuichiro Katsumura in the previous No. 1 Contender match. But he accepts the challenge and is confident he will beat Ohka in five minutes. GanPro is trying to get the match booked for their 29th November show in Tokyo but they are aware that Dragon Gate also has a show taking place in Okinawa that day.

Ohka had a chance on this show to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles but it didn’t turn out that way in the end. Choun Shiryu did a big stunt dive from the top of a wall onto Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto but back in the ring Ohka accidentally hit him with the Flame Spear. Nakatsu took advantage and clamped a Rear Naked Choke onto Shiryu until the referee decided to stop the match. The BASARA team then found out who is next to challenge them. YuuRI came out and said she doesn’t want to be confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division so she is challenging them to a title match! When it was pointed out that she doesn’t have a partner, Katsumura joined her side and said a tomboy like YuuRI needs a guardian like himself. The title match will go ahead on 29th November.

The reason why YuuRI made that challenge is because she is currently riding on a big confidence boost. That was caused by her announcement earlier in the show that she will be facing Sareee at Korakuen Hall on 27th December! The match will celebrate YuuRI’s 5th Anniversary in wrestling and she promises it won’t just be a dream match. She will use everything she has accumulated in the last five years together to beat Sareee!

Moeka Haruhi will return from her hiatus on the 29th November show.

Next Gen Tournament Final, New Title Bouts, Malaysia Match Updates

October 20, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Ren Konatsu
3. Mizuki Vs Toga
4. Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Hyper Misao & Raku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Suzume & Pom Harajuku
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida

Due to the Double Elimination format, Uta Takami only needs to beat Chika Nanase once to win the Next Generation Tournament because Nanase has already lost once in the competition. Since Takami has been unbeaten for the whole tournament, Nanase will need to beat her twice in order to become the tournament winner. If Nanase does beat Takami here they will immediately start the grand final rematch to crown the winner.

Shoko Nakajima won’t be at the show because she will be wrestling in Mexico around the same time period.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

An American challenger now awaits Miu Watanabe. All she knows about J-Rod is she looks muscular in her pictures so Watanabe is expecting a power versus power battle over the belt.

Ober Eats next have HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki as the next challengers standing in their way. Yuki Kamifuku isn’t worried because she thinks her team with Wakana Uehara are leagues ahead of their opponents. So much so that she is naming other team Plain Long Hair.

Right as I am typing up this post, Tokyo Joshi Pro tweeted that Nakajima will defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on this show. Her opponent will be revealed tomorrow.

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. Keisuke Ishii Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

After taking a few days to make a decision, Ganbare☆Pro have picked Yuna Manase to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title.

GanPro have also put their trust in Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu to try and beat the BASARA team for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. The two of them have been friends for many, many years. Well before either Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto even started in the business.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 15/11/2025
JioSpace, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

1. MYPW Sponsored Match: Wonder Boy & Miles Karu Vs Fienic Rose & ‘Love Warrior’ Syawal
2. Marika Kobashi & Kira Summer Vs Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Emman Azman Vs Chris Brookes, Shota & Jack Alexander
4. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Raku Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Poppy Shay

The joint show in Malaysia has some local wrestlers taking part alongside the DDT and TJPW crews. Those coming over from Malaysia Pro Wrestling (or MYPW for short) include the country’s first female wrestler Poppy Shay jumping into the deep end of TJPW while Emman Azman and Jack Alexander get a taste of what DDT can be like. Also the MYPW are putting together their own match between two of their tag teams Juicy Boyz and LOVE×FRDM.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025” Results

October 13, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025”, 13/10/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
129 Fans

1. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Back-Roll German Suplex (9:15).
2. Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu defeated Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi when Shiryu pinned Maeguchi with the Baozi (12:00).
3. Mizuki Watase defeated Rukiya with the Bare Elbow (10:50).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Imanari pinned Manase with the Lariat (11:47).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Zudon (14:40).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura ended in a Double Knockout (17:45).
*V1 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

For the first time in the young history of this championship, a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match ended in a draw. Both Masaaki Mochizuki and Shuichiro Katsumura ended beating each other up to the point where neither of them could answer a ten count from the referee. Mochizuki still had the strength to speak after the match and he admitted Katsumura was better than he expected. He told the rest of the Ganbare☆Pro roster they should be proud of him and then asked if anyone else in the group could handle the kind of match these two old men just had? Ken Ohka praised Katsumura for working so hard and suggested to the others it will be up to them to convince GanPro who should be the next challenger. Katsumura later tweeted that at the age of 49, the last goal he needs to achieve before he turns 50 is to beat Mochizuki!

Ohka also showered praise for Shota Kawakami after his attempt to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Keisuke Ishii ended in failure. Ohka then decided he will be next to challenge Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto for the belts. When the BASARA team pointed out that would make it a 2-on-1 match, Ohka revealed that his partner will be Choun Shiryu! The match will happen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 9th November. The champions claim that place is BASARA’s main venue so they will have the home field advantage. Ohka disagrees because he and Shiryu combined have wrestled three times as many matches there than Nakatsu & Tsukamoto have!

In a few days time GanPro will be facing FREEDOMS in “The Battle Of Shin-Kiba” so wrestlers on the GanPro side fought each other to prepare themselves. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga won against Yuna Manase & YuuRI but the loss only fired up the Ganbare☆Joshi pair even more. Manase asked Imanari after the match to train with her for the next three days before the show takes place. Imanari said GanPro has been around for men and women since the start and it will be better to motivate each other in the ring instead of just talking about it.

The end of the show was suddenly crashed by Toru Sugiura and Tomoya Hirata from FREEDOMS. They came out telling GanPro that their end is coming on 16th October! They also started bullying a GanPro staff member known to everyone at the shows as Nobita. However it turns out that Nobita was originally a trainee in SMASH and also made his pro wrestling debut in 2014 with Asuka Project under the name Takahiro Nakayama until health problems ended his career before it ever got going. Imanari & Manase warned the FREEDOMS side that Nobita is GanPro’s secret weapon in the rivalry and he will be their second at ringside when Imanari & Manase take on Sugiura & Takashi Sasaki.

Double the titles, double the fun and double the reasons to do prelim tag matches! The last match listed here is previews for both the KO-D Openweight Title match and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match too.

All of Harimao are getting together for an 8-Man Tag Match. Their opponents are filling up a similar size dynamic with The Apex and Jun Akiyama being there as the heavyweights alongside little Rukiya as… not the heavyweight.

The match order for the show has not been decided yet for everything except Match #2. Now that Kazuki Hirata is no longer the KO-D Champion, DDT is sending him right back home to the second match of the card. They’re making a series out of it so he won’t feel bad.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025”, 13/10/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Mizuki Watase Vs Rukiya
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles are now held by a BASARA team. The two top brass from the rival promotion will be coming back to defend the belts in Ganbare☆Pro and there is already a pair of wrestlers wanting to fight them. Keisuke Ishii made the challenge and wanted one of the other GanPro veterans to team with him but instead Shota Kawakami was able to convince him that they should challenge together instead.

In a good move for speeding up Rukiya’s progression, he is heading over to GanPro for a match with Mizuki Watase. It’s the kind of match that will teach him how to wrestle while wearing his heart in his sleeve.

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025” Results

September 28, 2025

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025”, 28/09/2025
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Lariat (8:53).
2. Minoru Fujita & MAZADA defeated Takato Nakano & Takeru Inoue when MAZADA pinned Inoue with the Shoda Otoshi (15:07).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the Zudon (11:54).
4. Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT with the Modified OPA! (9:31).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Ryota Hama & Kotaro Nasu when Hiroshi pinned Nakatsu with a Spinebuster (11:29).
6. Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine when Tanaka pinned FUMA with the Sliding D (15:43).

BASARA returned to the area FUMA has called home for quite a few years now. Their annual visit to Gunma pits FUMA against some big name opponents in the past and it was the same here. He & Ryuichi Sekine wore new matching gear for their tag match against the two outsiders Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto. While their teamwork took them far, including a tandem that had Sekine give Tanaka the Kamikaze after FUMA hit them with a Missile Dropkick from behind, victory escaped from their grasp. Sekimoto grabbed both Tanaka and FUMA to do a Double German Suplex and Tanaka got up first to hit FUMA with the Sliding D for the win.

Ryota Nakatsu tried to impress the locals by bringing along the three championships he currently holds (BASARA’s own Union MAX Title, the Dove Tag Title from Dove Pro and the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title from Ganbare☆Pro) but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spoiled his day by getting the pin over him!

What was supposed to be a fun day at Tokorozawa Park Town for Ganbare☆Pro has turned into a bit of an emergency because they have lost one of their championships to a rival organization! Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto from BASARA have brought an end to Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase’s title reign but plans were quickly put in place for GanPro to launch at rescue mission. After the main event Keisuke Ishii said he will go win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back and he will do it with either Yumehito Imanari or Shinichiro Tominaga as his tag partner. However Shota Kawakami stepped up and pleaded to team with Ishii, claiming he would have beaten him today with the Fisherman Buster if Ishii’s teammates didn’t come break the pin. Ishii asked the crowd for their opinion and their chants for Kawakami convinced him to make a decision. Michiyoshi Mishima told the pair to go get his championships back and Kawakami even suggested he can take one of the BASARA titles in the process! Meanwhile the new champs are inviting GanPro fans to come see BASARA because they think BASARA is more fun.

When Match #2 spilt to the outside, Aja Kong went over to the shop sponsoring the show Fresh Ariyama and grabbed some of their produce to attack her opponents with.
