DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTTOIKE 2026”, 19/07/2026

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Muscle Sakai (w/ KIMIHIRO)

After Super Sasadango Machine lost a Mask Contra Mask stipulation against Strange Love Connection last month, the unit felt pity for him and decided he can join the group on a part time basis. The conditions are that it is Muscle Sasaki joining the unit instead of Sasadango Machine and he only gets to be a member whenever SLC has a match in Nagoya. Later this month will be Sakai’s first appearance in SLC.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI Vs Echika Miyabi
2. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon Vs Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane
3. Takuya Wada Vs Yuya Susumu
4. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

It looks like Ganbare☆Pro just can’t get rid of SUSHI now. He wanted to get booked again and the promotion are living up to their word this time. Although it did take Munetatsu Nakamura getting injured for this to happen. SUSHI will be filling in for the injured Nakamura in the 6-Man Tag Match, teaming with Mizuki Watase so soon after they fought over the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. But Watase doesn’t have to worry about him when Shigehiro Irie is on the opposite team as part of a Team Drift reunion.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Shunma Katsumata

3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

The special opponent BASARA was looking for Ryota Nakatsu is Shunma Katsumata! The description of Katsumata being a rival of Nakatsu despite not having many matches against him thanks to their careers both growing in the DNA sub-brand.

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026” Results

July 4, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
166 Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Mia with a Double Wrist Armsault (7:27).
2. Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with a Northern Lights Suplex (11:18).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Ishii with a Flying Armbar (14:39).
4. Baliyan Akki defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by Referee Stoppage (3:02).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Maeguchi pinned Ohka with a Buzzsaw Kick (14:13).
*V2 for The Deadlock.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated SUSHI with the Bare Elbow (15:00).
*V4 for Mizuki Watase.

The Ganbare☆Pro management can breathe a little sigh of relief because Mizuki Watase was able to beat SUSHI and remain the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. After the match Michiyoshi Mishima approached Watase asking him who he wants to defend the title against at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show. Watase started talking about when he wanted to leave DDT there was one person he talked to first and this person assured he will help him get bookings if none were to come his way. Watase is currently the champion of GanPro but he wants to feel like the challenger so his opponent is going to be Shigehiro Irie! It turned out Irie was already in the venue and he got into the ring. He admitted he is not as strong as Watase thinks he is right now but he doesn’t want to make excuses over it anymore. The two shook hands (both using their left because its closer to the heart) and confirmed the title match will go ahead.

The Deadlock passed their second Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles defence by beating Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima. Their next challengers quickly emerged when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu came out demanding a title shot. Mishima accepted the demand and booked the match for 15th August.

Match #4 had to be abruptly stopped when Munetatsu Nakamura injured his knee after he did a Plancha onto Baliyan Akki. The injury was bad enough at the time that he had to be stretchered off and sent straight to the hospital. Akki tried to keep the audience’s spirits up in the meantime by calling Nakamura a strong wrestler who will definitely return from this setback. GanPro sent out an update that the early examinations have shown no bone damage and they are now awaiting a more detailed diagnosis. Nakamura will be out of action in the meantime.

Yuna Manase was at the show and greeted the fans. She had successful surgery for ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids and was discharged from hospital last week. During her speech she expressed her gratitude for everyone’s support during this time.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka brought up an idea to expand his team of Toyama based wrestlers. Yumehito Imanari asked if he could join because he is friends with Ohka’s father and would often stay over at his home. However Ohka declined his request which made Imanari explode in anger. Now he is going to form his own Anti-Toyama team to get revenge on Ken and his dad!

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

This is the match order for tomorrow’s DDT show in Osaka. It will be the last warm up match for The 37KAMIINA and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC before Sunday’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. No Referee Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

During the week MAO ran over Sanshiro Takagi in a van for the fourth time in six years. The officiating whenever that happens during matches leaves a lot to be desired and Takagi has lost all faith in the DDT referees ever doing anything about it. So for Takagi’s upcoming match with MAO in Korakuen Hall there will not be any referees involved at all! Instead it will be up to the audience to count the pinfalls in unison and if the majority get to three in sync, that will decide the winner. Other than that the match will be No DQ and have no countouts. We cannot trust a room of 1,000 people to all be able to count up to 20 by themselves at the same time without the proper guidance present.

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Baliyan Akki
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs SUSHI

SUSHI last wrestled for Ganbare☆Pro in April and was led to believe he would be booked for more shows with the promotion. That never happened and he’s been left out in the cold until he appeared at the most recent show demanding an explanation while pleading for a booking. Nobody expected he would be getting a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title shot out of it. Mizuki Watase doesn’t appreciate his bosses not living up to any promises they make to others so he agreed to wrestle SUSHI and put his championship on the line.

Watase’s decision to do that match has pushed back his plan to challenge The Deadlock for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. That gives Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima the chance to step in and grab the shot for themselves.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026

4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

It’s a match made in heaven for Sakura Hirota’s debut in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Throw her in there with Raku & Pom Harajuku then watch the magic happen. Given her talents when it comes to impersonating wrestlers, Hirota could show up as any of the other wrestlers in the match. She can get a yarn wig for HIMAWARI, ruffle some newspaper pages together to make Mifu Ashida’s pom-poms or cover herself in orange wallpaper in order to become Chika Nanase.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026” Results

June 14, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
151 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ishijima pinned Tominaga with the Twister (9:27).
2. YuuRI defeated Moe Hiiro with a Sleeper Hold (7:59).
3. Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shota Kawakami with the Back Drop (11:34).
4. Baliyan Akki & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Shigehiro Irie & Sentaro Motoshima when Nakamura pinned Motoshima with the Octopus Killer (14:20).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura 50th Birthday Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Kikujiro Umezawa defeated Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Moeka Haruhi when Katsumura submitted Imanari with the Standing Ninja Choke (16:05).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Venetian 3rd Time (13:22).
*V3 for Mizuki Watase.

Tyson Maeguchi showed up to the main event in his “Ultimate” form which prompted Mizuki Watase to take off his own boots and wrestling gear so he could also fight in his “Ultimate” form. Watase also leaned into Maeguchi’s strikes determined not to lose to the kickboxing style. He had a few close calls with Maeguchi getting some 2.9 pin counts. Maeguchi then decided to take off his boxing gloves and fight bare handed, almost knocking Watase out with a Knuckle Punch. Watase survived all of that to fight back with a Brainbuster, a Michinoku Driver II and finally the Venetian to get the win. Watase then told Maeguchi after the match he wants a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. However, Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima have also thrown out a challenge for the belts and later convinced Maeguchi to give them the match first on 4th July.

All throughout the show the wrestler SUSHI would walk down to the ring after some matches and plead his case for Ganbare☆Pro to book him again. He first confronted Ohka after the opening match to complain why he hasn’t appeared in GanPro since his first appearance in April. Ohka wasn’t interested and used the excuse that he is not the matchmaker to ignore him. Keisuke Ishii also turned down the offer of fighting SUSHI again, explaining the time isn’t right for him to get revenge for SUSHI pinning him last time around. SUSHI then interrupted an announcement from Michiyoshi Mishima asking to get booked only to be told has has to wait until the show was over to come talk about it. It wasn’t until after the main event was finished when Watase decided to nominate SUSHI as the next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title because unlike the others he likes to make sure promises are kept! Mishima reluctantly booked the title match for 4th July but only because Watase would throw another tantrum if it doesn’t happen.

With his 50th birthday approaching on 17th June, Shuichiro Katsumura decided his first goal at that age is to beat Takuya Wada for the SOG Tag Titles. He also told his opponents to remember today’s match when they all turn 50. He knows Wada will be fifty in two years time and Yumehito Imanari in ten years time. He then asked Moeka Haruhi how old she is and her answer was she hasn’t kept count since she turned 25.

Mishima’s big announcement that SUSHI interrupted was regarding YuuRI and her match at GanPro’s next Korakuen Hall show on 15th August. She is going to face Takumi Iroha in a singles match! YuuRI requested this match to happen because she has looked up to Iroha and watched her matches even before YuuRI became a wrestler herself. However she believes she cannot beat Iroha if she holds onto that admiration forever. That is the lesson she learned from her match with Utami Hayashihita back in April. So when she faces Iroha she will not be fighting her idol. Instead she is going to spark her own revolution inside Korakuen!

GANBARE☆PRO “NEON DEMON 2026” Results

April 5, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “NEON DEMON 2026”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takuya Wada & Ryuma Sekimo defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Sentaro Motoshima when Wada submitted Sekimo with a Front Choke (13:28).
2. Moeka Haruhi & YuuRI defeated Yuki Mashiro & Konomi Hori when YuuRI submitted Hori with a Flying Body Scissors Sleeper Hold (14:44).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (11:14).
4. Mizuki Watase & SUSHI defeated Keisuke Ishii & Leatherface when SUSHI pinned Ishii with a School Boy (10:35).
5. Ken Ohka, Guts Ishijima & Banana Senga defeated Yumehito Imanari, Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with the Flame Spear (19:32).

The main event was set up to help Ken Ohka prepare for his 25th Anniversary match taking place on 29th April at Korakuen Hall. He said afterwards he wants to make that show an exciting one with all of his friends. He then held a post-show talk with Guts Ishijima that was suddenly interrupted by Leatherface dragging Mizuki Watase into the ring. Keisuke Ishii got in and attacked Watase with the Double Arm Lock Driver before leaving the venue with his suitcase.

Leatherface was at the show because he was Ishii’s mystery partner for the tag team match against Watase and his surprise choice, SUSHI. Things went crazy in the end with Leatherface accidentally hitting Ishii with a Lariat. Watase then hit Ishii with an Elbow Butt, knocking him into a School Boy from SUSHI for the pinfall. Watase bragged that the result was decided from the start because he anticipated Ishii would bring in Leatherface but Ishii never expected Watase would tag with SUSHI.

After Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi in a preview of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles match, their respective partners Yumehito Imanari and Takuya Wada got into a staredown with each other. Backstage Imanari said he could feel the emotion in Maeguchi’s blows but he was the calmer wrestler today. The wrestlers with martial art backgrounds are scary because they are always ready to take on anyone. Touchable can be passionate too but they also calmly observe the situation as the match progresses. That’s why Touchable are confident they will defend the tag titles on 29th April. Maeguchi admitted he fell into his bad habit of rushing to win today. He wants to be perfectly prepared for the title match. Wada complained that everybody else are doing comical things in Ganbare☆Pro while he is trying to be serious.
