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

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

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!

4. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Shiro Koshinaka, Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (14:15).

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.

Back in March former Dragon Gate wrestler Kotoka reemerged after a multiple year long absence away from the ring to be a part of Kazuki Hirata’s 15th Anniversary show. Then he sort of disappeared again but now he’s back to wrestle on a Super Japan show. Wrestling hasn’t been his priority in years because he has a career managing many, many gyms across Tokyo and Osaka (he currently has 24 gyms according to his Instagram account) so he is now going to use the name Gym Leader Kotoka, at least for this match. Kotoka will be part of a “Dragon Gene” tag team with Mac Matsushita to take on the super indie tag team of monk wrestler Fuminori Abe and Filipino wrestler Bryan Ishizaka.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

It’s all new champions across Tokyo Joshi Pro and two of them have defences lined up for the October Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe is putting the newly won Princess Of Princess Title on the line against Yuki Aino in order to see how much passion Aino can bring to the match.

Yuna Manase & Toga were already the next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles and now they will face Ober Eats instead of Kyoraku Kyomei. The dynamic to watch out for here is how Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase will fight each other. They used to team together as Cat’s Pye and one of Kamifuku’s failed attempts to win the tag titles came from that team.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL PART 1 TEAM TJ”, 24/11/2025

The first show will consist of “Team TJ” wrestlers and the second show will have “Team PW” wrestlers. Miyu Yamashita is on neither because she will be touring overseas during that period. Both shows will have around 4 or 5 matches each.

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025” Results

September 16, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025”, 15/09/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
149 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Sentaro Motoshima with (9:09).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Makoto defeated YuuRI & Misa Kagura when Haruhi submitted Kagura ith the 79.5MHz 2.0 (9:36)
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Brainbuster Slam (13:06).
4. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:06).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Yuna Manase when Sasaki pinned Manase with a Lariat (15:21).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Ken Ohka by Referee Stoppage with the Triple Three 3 Lock (23:52).

There was a dispute over who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title but now it is clear. Masaaki Mochizuki’s original nominee Shuichiro Katsumura beat Ken Ohka to earn the title shot. The ref was forced to stop the match when Ohka was trapped in the Triple Three 3 Lock but wouldn’t (or couldn’t) give up. After the match Katsumura spoke about how much he’s looked up to Ohka for the last ten years because Ohka protected Ganbare☆Pro from all invaders. In that time more people joined GanPro and became strong enough to do their part in protecting the company. Ohka was fired up from the speech and promised to continue leading GanPro for as long as there are people who will follow him.

Emotions over the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS feud are getting even hotter. The match didn’t even start when the two teams started fighting each other. The FREEDOMS side won thanks to Takashi Sasaki pinning Yuna Manase with a Lariat but the fighting continued after the match had ended. When things started looking too dangerous, YuuRI showed up to protect Manase from Sasaki. His taunting also made her mad enough to spray him in the face. He still declared while leaving that FREEDOMS had successfully taken over the GanPro ring.

GanPro also have attacks from BASARA to worry about. When Takumi Tsukamoto’s team won in Match #3, Mizuki Watase held up his Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title at him and said he wants to defend the belts against BASARA wrestlers. He then said he and Shigehiro Irie can face Tsukamoto and Ryota Nakatsu for their next title defence on 27th September! Tsukamoto liked the idea but did not agree to it straight away because he will need to check with Nakatsu first.

When the show had ended, YuuRI & Manase went back to the ring to rally the fans. YuuRI said she doesn’t want to be limited to the Ganbre☆Joshi division because she wants to join the fight against FREEDOMS! Sasaki and his team overheard her and came up with an idea. Both promotions are busy running their own shows on 20th September but Shin-Kiba 1st RING recently informed him that they have a slot vacant for 16th October. So let’s have the two sides take part in a full scale battle that day! Every match will be FREEDOMS Vs GanPro and Sasaki can even organize it to have the FREEDOMS fans fill up one side of the building and the GanPro fans fill up the other side. Michiyoshi Mishima agreed to the idea but started having doubts when Sasaki told him the FREEDOMS side will include Jun Kasai and Mammoth Sasaki. However Manase and YuuRI are both excited to finally join the fight.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will miss the next several shows to rest and take care of her physical health.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025” Results

July 19, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
172 Fans

0. Exhibition Match: Ken Ohka Vs Sentaro Motoshima went to a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase defeated Makoto & Chika when Manase pinned Chika with the Lariat (9:16).
2. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shota Kawakami with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (8:33).
3. YuuRI defeated Mio Shirai with the Swanton Bomb (10:15).
4. Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada defeated Keisuke Ishii & Leatherface when Katsumura pinned Ishii with the KKB (11:40).
5. Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga when Mochizuki pinned Tominaga with the Twister (14:00).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with the Venetian (19:03).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie.

Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura wanted to be a big deal going into the main event so they made their entrance by driving a car into Shin-Kiba 1st RING! In the preview match last month Mizuki Watase used an Arm Lock submission he named the NAGISA to take Nakamura to the brink of injury. He used the move on Nakamura again in this match but this time Nakamura was able to escape it. He tried to gain some momentum on Watase but Shigehiro Irie was there to stop that from happening. Watase had to beat the determination out of Nakamura before he could get a three count with the Venetian. He bowed after the match to show respect but Nakamura was in such an emotional state he slapped Watase in response. Watase took it in his stride and told the fans Nakamura is a talent that Ganbare☆Pro is proud of. However Watase wants GanPro to grow and fill bigger buildings than Shin-Kiba. He will be facing Jun Kasai at Korakuen Hall on 26th August to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut. He believes when he beats Kasai it will blow up GanPro to even greater heights!

Sugiura also had praise to give Nakamura backstage. As far as he sees it, Nakamura is no longer Young Ganbare or the future of GanPro. He is a star for GanPro now! Nakamura agrees because new rookies have arrived and he does not want to be lumped in with them. He wants to continue teaming with Sugiura so they can go win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles together.

The first time Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka have teamed up could not have gotten any better for them. When their tag match broke down into chaos, Ohka went and gave Shinichiro Tominaga the Flame Spear and Mochizuki finished him off with the Twister Brainbuster. With a 100% victory record (they’ve only had one match) Ohka thinks the two of them can go straight into challenging for the SOG Tag Titles. Mochizuki couldn’t believe it is that easy to challenge for a title in GanPro but he decided the team isn’t going to work out and he declined the offer. The reason is because Mochizuki has his eyes on a bigger prize. He wants to fight Yumehito Imanari for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title! Imanari quickly agreed to it and Michiyoshi Mishima was overjoyed to book the match for 26th August as long as Dragongate gives him permission. Mochizuki assured him that they don’t have a show that day so he is 99.999999% certain they will approve it.

Keisuke Ishii took a big risk in teaming with Leatherface and it blew up in his face. They ended up getting in each other’s way once too often and Leatherface ended up attacking Ishii instead of the other team! When the monster left the ring in anger, Shuichiro Katsumura picked up the pieces and pinned Ishii to win.

It was a big day for YuuRI because not only did she wrestle in a new outfit but she defeated Mio Shirai all by herself too. The result completely rips up the plan Shirai had to stay in GanPro. Had she won the match she would have thrown out a challenge to anyone in the promotion to fight her at Korakuen on 26th August. But in the aftermath of losing today’s match she hasn’t received any further booking offers from GanPro. She doesn’t want to believe it because GanPro is built on losers getting second chances. She wonders if she needs to go have a talk with Ohka to get another booking.

The name of Tyson Maeguchi’s finisher is a phrase that’s normally used to politely asked to be excused. The actual move is a Pumping Knee Strike to the face and there’s not really a polite way to do that.

There was a public exhibition involving the trainee Sentaro Motoshima before the show began. He fought a five minute practice match with Ohka where the aim was simply to last the time limit rather than win or lose. Motoshima still tried to pin Ohka after giving him a Body Slam but only got a one count out of it. Ohka then did a Body Slam of his own and held Motoshima in a Crab Hold until the time expired.

GanPro’s sort of friendly rivalry with FREEDOMS is not ending here. At the end of the show Takashi Sasaki confronted Ohka and Katsumura telling them there is still a lot to happen between the two groups. He likes the inter-promotional matches and wants more to help liven up the indies. There will be GanPro Vs FREEDOMS matches taking place on the 11th August GanPro show, the 17th August FREEDOMS show and the 26th August Korakuen show.

Nao Kakuta will be at Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation show as a special guest commentator. Another special guest will be Teppei Arita, a Japanese comedian who has written several books about pro wrestling and also hosts his own Youtube series about current stories from around the industry. In fact Hasegawa was interviewed on a recent episode that was uploaded last week.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Last month Ayumu Honda joined forces with Hyakusho Ikki even though he didn’t really want to. Blame Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi for that. We’ll see how much of a united force they can be in a few days time.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs Makoto & Chika
2. YuuRI Vs Mio Shirai
3. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura

High hopes are fueling Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura’s challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. Nakamura would have gotten injured by Mizuki Watase last month if it wasn’t for Sugiura throwing in the towel. Watase gets needing to preserve yourself for the big title match but he and Shigehiro Irie want the challengers to not say die once the actual match takes place.

Bad tension is building up between YuuRI and Mio Shirai. Will it spill over into something worse when they have their singles match?

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku
2. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura
3. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

What’s the most chaotic pair of opponents you can find for Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura? How about El Desperado & Maki Itoh! The two originally met in America while working the same GCW show and have been tweeting back and forth for a while about teaming up. Now looks like the perfect time to make it happen. Itoh wants Desperado to learn the Itoh Respect Army dance for their entrance. He didn’t expect that to be part of the deal.

TJPW say a health issue is preventing Max The Impaler from participating at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so Pom Harajuku needs a new tag team partner. Luckily for her TJPW has decided to bring in Kyoko Inoue as the replacement! The joshi legend currently wrestles for Diana, a promotion that just so happened to join the UJPW recently so I wonder if that new connection helped put this deal together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~UENO KITEKITE DAI SAKUSEN~”, 26/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki

Yuki Arai will wrestle at a Garafes show for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs X

A couple of weeks after Despy appears in TJPW he will then show up in BASARA to team with Isami Kodaka. The two of them were specifically put together for Aijin Tag to fight against.

The Grace Group bus company have their own independent wrestling promotion called GRACE PROJECT. They don’t really have their own roster, save for Captain Grace who is the man in charge of the whole thing. Instead their shows are filled with indie wrestlers from across Japan including those who compete in BASARA. So a lot of familiar faces are showing up in their offer match for the show.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

Looks like Sanshiro Takagi and The Brahman Brothers are going to get their way. For one night Yuji Nagata is going to become Brahman Yuji! That’s bad news for Astronauts and Munenori Sawa because Nagata does look like he has a good bowling arm.

What can I write about a Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki match? Nothing much.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will also be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025” Results

June 22, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025”, 22/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
196 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Choun-Shiryu defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (9:05).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with a Knee Drop (6:40).
3. GanPro Ultimate Rules: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Thanomsak Toba by Referee Stoppage with a Body-locking Sleeper Hold (2:20).
4. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Last Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Match: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa defeated YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara when Manase pinned Hasegawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:22).
5. Mizuki Watase defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by TKO when Watase used the NAGISA on Nakamura and Toru Sugiura threw in the towel (12:54).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Power Bomb (12:36).
*V5 for Yumehito Imanari.

Given that Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi is digging deep into his combat sports roots he aimed to beat Yumehito Imanari by knockout. But Imanari’s faith in pro wrestling won out in the end. He was reminded of the time Keiji Muto fought Don Frye and Muto said he had no choice but to prepare for his Frye’s punches. Imanari was able to beat the 10 counts, block Maeguchi’s punches and drop him with a Power Bomb to get the win in the end. Imanari gave praise to Maeguchi after the match for being who he wants to be, which is a goal of Ganbare☆Pro. He found a way to mix together kickboxing with pro wrestling and take it all over the indies. Imanari brought up that they recently wrestled a match together at a okonomiyaki restaurant in Suidobashi. He congratulated Maeguchi on becoming a real kickboxing pro wrestler and told him they should wrestle each other in that restaurant again.

Mizuki Watase kept taunting Munetatsu Nakamura with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title belt which fired Nakamura up for to fight him. Watase taunted him again by screaming Nakamura will never win the belt like this. He put Nakamura in a Front Neck Lock with an Arm Lock added on but Nakamura wouldn’t give up. His tag partner Toru Sugiura threw in a towel from ringside to forfeit the match. Nakamura complained about it but Sugiura explained afterward, asking him what if he broke his arm? If it was a title match he’d understand losing one or two arms behind but it’s not worth doing it for this match. Watase understood Sugiura’s point and told both of them to bring this same feeling with them for the title bout next month. Sugiura & Nakamura promised that when they win the SOG Tag Titles they will be all over Shukan Puroresu and Wrestle Universe!

All of the Ganbare☆Joshi division gathered together for Yoshiko Hasegawa’s final match in GanPro before she retires from pro wrestling. Riara returned to GanPro for the occasion and even HARUKAZE showed up to be the ring announcer. Hasegawa got to start off the match with Moeka Haruhi. Then YuuRI & Riara helped beat down Yuna Manase so Hasegawa could put her in the Muffler Hold but Banny Oikawa cut her off. Manase was able to get the pin on Hasegawa by giving her the Suzuki Dynamic, a move she hasn’t used for a while in GanPro. After the match Manase said she was so nervous about today that she forgot her wrestling boots and had to borrow Ken Ohka’s boots for the match. She told Hasegawa she will always be a part of GanJo as long as she keeps trying. So if she doesn’t feel like trying anymore she will always be allowed to come back and wrestle matches to find her strength again. Hasegawa then surprised Manase with a roll up and everyone else did a three count so they could all call Hasegawa the winner.

Ken Ohka has been inspired recently by Masaaki Mochizuki challenging for the Open The Dream Gate Title at the age of 55 years old. He wants to put the message out there that he would like to team with Mochizuki for a match on 19th July.

In his post-show comments, Imanari brought up that today has been a busy day for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He and Maeguchi fought each other in GanPro, Kota Ibushi returned to AEW and shootboxer Yukimitsu Takahashi won his fight today. So in Imanari’s mind today was like a birthday for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute.

GANBARE☆PRO “GRAND BLEU 2025” Results

June 1, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “GRAND BLEU 2025”, 01/06/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
137 Fans

1. Keisuke Goto defeated Shota Kawakami with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:06).
2. Ken Ohka, PSYCHO & Moeka Haruhi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga, Daisuke® & Banny Oikawa when PSYCHO pinned Daisuke® with the God Trap (10:54).
3. Yuna Manase & Mio Shirai defeated YuuRI & Nanami Hatano when Shirai pinned YuuRI with the Purple Flash (9:52).
4. GanPro Ultimate Rules: Tyson Maeguchi & Thanomsak Toba defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada by Knockout when Maeguchi knocked out Katsumura with a Right Backhand Blow (14:00).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Yumehito Imanari, Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie when Nakamura pinned Watase with the German Suplex (21:34).

Munetatsu Nakamura was recently given the nickname “GanPro’s Promising Hope” and he is starting to prove he deserves the moniker. He scored the pinfall on Mizuki Watase in the main event thanks to some help from Toru Sugiura. The two set Watase up with a German Suplex for a nearfall. Then Sugiura hit Watase with a Rolling Elbow and Nakamura landed another German Suplex to get the three count. Nakamura then challenged Watase & Shigehiro Irie for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles on 22nd June. However both Irie and Sugiura have bookings elsewhere that day. Michiyoshi Mishima decided the title match can happen on 19th July and 22nd June will get a Watase Vs Nakamura singles match instead.

The GanPro Ultimate Rules fitted Tyson Maeguchi really well and he ended up knocking out Shuichiro Katsumura to win the match for his team. In fact he likes the rules so much he might start calling himself Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi whenever he fights with gloves on. Bolstered by the win, he approached Yumehito Imanari at the end of the show and challenged him for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He told Imanari he’s been treading the muddy waters of indie wrestling for the last year and finally climbed his way up to this point. Imanari agreed and wants the title match to happen on 22nd June. He pointed out that they both belong to the Ibushi Wrestling Institute and he knows what it is like to get stuck in the muddy waters of independent wrestling.

Mio Shirai is getting comfortable being in the ring again ever since she returned from retirement five months ago. After beating YuuRI today she wonders if YuuRI has been getting any stronger too wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro and Ice Ribbon? YuuRI may think she is but she should be training even harder if she wants to beat Shirai. If she has a problem with that then they can have a singles match against each other. GanPro obliged and booked the match for 19th July.

Mishima introduced everyone to a new trainee. Sentaro Motoshima was born in Kagoshima on 4th October, 2001. He is currently getting ready for his debut match and will participate in exhibition matches on upcoming shows as part of his preparations.
