6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

The former KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions are getting an immediate rematch. NωA Jr. lost the belts to DAMNATION T.A over the weekend leading to a dilemma for Shunma Katsumata. He wants to win the titles again but this time with Yuki Ueno & To-y in The 37KAMIINA. However Yuni & Kazuma Sumi wanted this rematch to win back the titles with Katsumata under the NωA Jr. unit. DDT decided to go with NωA Jr. over The 37KAMIINA for the next title match.

The Strange Love Connection’s MC KIMIHIRO finally makes his DDT debut on this show.

On yesterday’s DDT show Yuki Ishida got beaten up pretty badly so he has been taken off this weekend’s two shows in order to recover. He is expected to be back in action on the 6th May Korakuen Hall show unless he hasn’t recovered in time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SASA KAMABOKO~”, 04/05/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi Vs Yuni

6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato

There are a couple of times a year I get reminded that DDT can book Jun Akiyama and Kazuki Hirata as a team together. This is one of those times.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「WEST」”, 05/05/2025

Both Mizuki and Suzume have picked their teams from a random lottery. Mizuki’s team is the Takoyaki Team while Suzume’s team is the Kushikatsu Team. Now the two captains will decide on their entry order based on Kendo team competitions (Senpo, Jiho, Chuken, Fukusho and Taisho) which doesn’t necessarily mean they will be ordered from weakest to strongest.

GANBARE☆PRO “YOUNG GANBARE SUMMIT”, 10/05/2025

1. Tyson Maeguchi Vs MASA☆TAKA

GanPro recently had Masaaki Mochizuki on their Korakuen Hall show so now his son Mochizuki Jr. enters their ring for the first time for a clash against Munetatsu Nakamura. Also a lot of fresh faces from around the scene are on board from Chanyota to Kirari Wakana to Ali Najima to MASA☆TAKA and plenty more in between.

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025” Results

March 16, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
138 Fans

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Shota Kofuji with a School Boy (7:50).
2. Yuna Manase, YuuRI & Banny Oikawa defeated Hanako Nakamori, Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when YuuRI pinned HARUKAZE with the Swanton Bomb (10:07).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga & Rekka defeated Takuya Wada & PSYCHO when Tominaga pinned Wada with the JK (13:30).
4. Ken Ohka defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Flame Spear (12:15).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuki Kanzaki & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Choun-Shiryu when Nakamura pinned Shiryu with a German Suplex (14:29).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Fuminori Abe with a Sliding Lariat (19:35).
*V3 for Yumehito Imanari.

A back and forth match between Yumehito Imanari and Fuminori Abe led to both wrestlers scrambling for pins multiple times until Imanari kept Ae down for the three count after a Sliding Lariat. Imanari praised Abe after the match for using the Fighting Detectives to pursue his ideals for pro wrestling. He is influenced by them so when Imanari becomes influential to Abe they can have a rematch. Abe usually dislikes it when he hears people say they will do their best but he understands where Imanari is coming from. Also if Abe knew what his vision for pro wrestling is he would have quit wrestling a long time ago!

Imanari’s next Spirit Of Ganbare World Title defence will be at Korakuen Hall on 11th April. As he was promoting the show Shinichiro Tominaga came down to the ring to challenge him. He has gotten three title shots in the past and failed every time but that is nothing to repeating his second year of university! Imanari talked about his past with Tominaga because he once filmed his student wrestling matches for a documentary. It was his first video project so they have known each other for a long time and can have a title match that only they can do together.

HARUKAZE announced that she will soon be taking a break from pro wrestling to go work in her father’s business. She told fans that she met with her 80 year old father over Christmas and he asked her to take over his self employed business. HARUKAZE turned him down at the time because she wanted to focus on wrestling and comedy. She then took some time to think about it further and realized she’s been living a bit too freely so she changed her mind and will go work for him after all. Her final match before her break will be on 5th May and she insists she is not retiring from pro wrestling. Until then she wants to win one of her last remaining matches. Yuna Manase told her that women who work hard are always accepted into Ganbare☆Joshi and that means HARUKAZE will always be a part of GanJo.

Today was Shota Kawakami’s first singles win and it happened close to the first anniversary of his debut match. On 5th May he will face his coach Shota in a match to celebrate that anniversary.

BASARA “BASARA 273 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 14/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Shota Kofuji

5. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Choun-Shiryu Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuki Kanzaki & Munetatsu Nakamura
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

One more challenge is in Yumehito Imanari’s way before he gets to headline a Korakuen Hall show as the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. The man standing in his way is Fuminori Abe. Chances are somebody on the card will be the one to approach the champion at the end of the show to make the Korakuen challenge. We’re probably going to hear who Ken Ohka’s mystery opponent is going to be too.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTER 2025”, 23/03/2025
Osaka City Miyakojima Community Center

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku, HARASHIMA & Akito

The main event is a preview for Koroku’s KO-D Openweight Title match in April. Whether the champion is Chris Brookes or Masahiro Takanashi is nothing for him to worry about here because both of them will be on the other team.

It feels good to type up Kazusada Higuchi’s name in these updates again.

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii

The two partners challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Titles are going to fight each other first. The only thing Daiki Shimomura and Keisuke Ishii have in common is they’re both from Saitama. They’ll get to learn more about each other by having a match in the ring.

Yuko Miyamoto from 666, Kosuke Sato from Big Japan and Shota Kofuji from Osaka Style Wrestling will both be on the show.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs JJ Furno
2. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs To-y Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Ishida

DDT is putting together a competition at this month’s Beer Garden shows called Hanami KING OF DRUNK. It is to determine the No. 1 heavy drinker of springtime. There will be a 9-Man Rumble on the first show where the last three men standing will move on to the final.

For the first time ever there will be a Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match. We will quickly figure out why there was never one done before this.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X Vs X

The six wrestlers who don’t qualify for the KING OF DRUNK final will be put into a 6-Man Tag so they can all nurse their hangovers together.

There will be a Wrestlers Bring The Weapons Death Match on the undercard. However each wrestler in the match is given a 5,000 yen budget and they cannot spend past it for their weapon of choice.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

The masked dancer Kumadori is coming back to DDT this April. He made his pro wrestling debut during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” at the end of last year with the rest of O-MENZ by his side. Will they all be there with him again?

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii

Will Shimomura & Ishii become a well oiled tag team in time to challenge Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA for the belts? Ishii has never held the Iron Fist Tag Titles. FUMA has never directly beaten Ishii so that is why he is giving him this chance at winning the belts.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

The first match is made official for the Las Vegas Tokyo Joshi Pro show. Miu Watanabe is getting another big name foreign opponent by facing Masha Slamovich! I think this match being put together has blown open the possibilities for who will get the title matches on the same show. Whenever Slamovich is booked by TJPW she usually hovers around the champions but here she is getting Watanabe in a big first time matchup. That means Watanabe is also off the table for being in any of the title matches.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

Two new names are added to the lineup. Konosuke Takeshita will be there and so too will Shunma Katsumata. No mention yet if either will be on the next day’s “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show. Katsumata will likely be added but I doubt Takeshita will be there.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~” Results

March 2, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda when KUBITO submitted Hiroshi with an Ankle Hold (11:48).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii defeated Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano when Shimomura pinned Nakano with the Swanton Bomb (10:26).
3. Kuishinbo Kamen defeated Daichi Kazato with the Be Back Hold (10:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine, Takumi Tsukamoto & FUMA defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA pinned Kraken with the Heavy Metal Anthem (16:22).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masato Kamino (c) with the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock (20:32).
*Masato Kamino fails in V2. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 23rd Union MAX Champion!

When Ryota Nakatsu challenged Masato Kamino to a Union MAX Title match it was because he accused Kamino for lacking humility as a champion. He cared more about his muscles than he did for the belt. Perhaps he learned his lesson today because Nakatsu defeated him and became the new champion! The difference maker came when Nakatsu countered Kamino’s Lariat with a Jumping Armbar and turned it into what he calls the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock. Nakatsu reminded Kamino that he didn’t show enough love for the title or BASARA. However he was able to make it this far from his love of muscles alone so he can keep going that direction as long as he shows a little gratitude to the company every now and then. Kamino understood and shook Nakatsu’s hand. He also bowed to everyone before leaving ringside. Nakatsu then thanked Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura for being in his corner to represent Harimao today.

Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA were challenged by Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. What links those two together is they are both from Saitama. Ishii wants a shot because he has never held that championship before. FUMA told Ishii he needs more justification than that to ask for a title match. However FUMA has never beaten Ishii before so he accepted the challenge.

The referee got annoyed at Daichi Kazato and Kuishinbo Kamen for joking around instead of having a wrestling match. Kazato’s response to that was “What’s a match?” He later missed a Firebird Splash and Kamen lightly pushed him over into the Be Back Hold for the pinfall victory.

The opening match was changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi pulled out at the last minute due to love sickness. Judomaster replaced him and convinced Ayumu Honda to wrestle in a judo uniform like he does. But Yasu Urano hates having to fight people who wear those uniforms and unmasked Judomaster, forcing him to flee. Somehow Hiroshi returned from his sickness and rejoined the match in Judomaster’s place. His performance was still rusty and he ended up attacking Honda by accident, causing Honda to leave ringside in anger. Hiroshi then called for help and Judomaster returned but looking slightly different this time. However he took too long to get to the ring. By the time he climbed in, Hiroshi gave up to KUBITO’s Ankle Lock.

A ten bell salute was given at the start of the show for the recent passing of Osamu Nishimura.

SCHADENFREUDE Fighting Each Other, Kasai Vs Itoh, Vegas Getting 3 Princess Title Matches

February 27, 2025

“YOSHIKO HASEGAWA INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE -YOPPY’S NEXT STAGE-”, 28/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Crasher Inoba & Shinyabaito Hashimoto Vs Kurechika Okane & Hiroshi Tanabota
2. 3 Way Match: Erina Yamanaka Vs Riara Vs Imori Annou
3. Kaya Toribami Vs HIMAWARI
4. SAKI & Kakeru Sekiguchi Vs Yuko Sakurai & Rina Amikura
5. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Hikari Shimizu

According to Yoshiko Hasegawa herself tomorrow might be the last time she runs an independent wrestling show. She already put one together with with Riara last year after they both left Ganbare☆Pro. She is doing this one on her birthday because it’s her only chance to wrestle Hikari Shimizu before Shimizu’s retirement.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. KUBITO & Yasu Urano Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda
2. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takumi Tsukamoto & FUMA Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo
4. Daichi Kazato Vs Kuishinbo Kamen
5. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

One the last BASARA show Ayumu Honda continued to attack KUBITO to the point where it tried to injure his arm. The two will meet each other again but this time in a tag match with Yasu Urano and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi also involved. Maybe Hiroshi’s yoga antics can calm everyone down.

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025”, 08/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku Vs Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: KANON Vs MJ Paul
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Minoru Suzuki & Akito
6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda

Is SCHADENFREUDE International about to eat itself alive over the KO-D Openweight Title? When the title match takes place both Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi are going to have the fight of their lives. The prelim tag could be a preview of what to expect or perhaps might be the last chance they get to have some fun in the ring together before their big title fight. It looks like Takeshi Masada and Antonio Honda are taking sides already too.

Before KANON can get his hands on Daisuke Sasaki, first he will have to get past MJ Paul.

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Maki Itoh
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

The second match booked for Sanshiro Takagi’s new project will answer the question of who will win in a battle of charisma? Will it be the death match charisma of Jun Kasai or the new era joshi charisma of Maki Itoh?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

When Tokyo Joshi Pro said they want their Las Vegas show to be their biggest American event yet they mean it. Not only do they now have a show sponsor but they confirmed all three of their championships will be defended at the show. The card will be put together after “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” has wrapped up and the results on that show will help determine what matches will happen in Vegas.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO MEN’S ASSOCIATION EVENT VOL. 2” Results

February 24, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO MEN’S ASSOCIATION EVENT VOL. 2”, 24/02/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
101 Fans

1. 80’s Vs 70’s: PSYCHO & Rekka defeated Yasu Urano & Tsuyoshi Okada when PSYCHO pinned Okada with the God Trap (12:59).

6. Heisei Vs 80’s: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura when Tominaga pinned Nakamura with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (14:14).
*80’s Team (6) defeated 60’s & Heisei Team (3) and 70’s Team (3).

60’s & Heisei Team: AKIRA, Ricky Fuji, Toru Sugiura, Daisuke®️, Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami

80’s Team: Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii, PSYCHO, Shinichiro Tominaga, Tyson Maeguchi & Rekka

70’s Team: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada, Choun-Shiryu, Yasu Urano & Tsuyoshi Okada

For the second year in a row Ganbare☆Pro held a one day tournament pitting three teams of different generations against each other. There was the 1970’s team, the 1980’s team and due to a shortage of members an alliance combining the Heisei era along with wrestlers born in the 1960’s. But just like last year it was the 1980’s team that ended up winning it. Yumehito Imanari told everyone afterward that his generation listened to TRF and he wants to tell AKIRA & Ricky Fuji in particular just how great the band is. The Heisei wrestlers weren’t in a dancing mood thought and promised to get revenge if a third tournament ever takes place.

The 1970’s team lost their chance of winning the tournament thanks to Shota Kawakami. The rookie took a major beating from Shuichiro Katsumura in their match that made its way outside the ring. When Katsumura was done and started walking back to the ring, Kawakami suddenly grabbed him and held him back as much as he could. He succeeded in stopping Katsumura from entering the ring in time, ending the match in a double countout.

Yuya Susumu from FREEDOMS was at the show and approached Munetatsu Nakamura after hearing that Nakamura wanted to fight him in a match. Susumu told him they can have the match at FREEDOM’s next Korakuen Hall show on 19th March and he will also put the King Of FREEDOM World Jr. Heavyweight Title on the line! He bragged that he can beat Nakamura within five minutes under normal circumstances. Nakamura responded that he will beat Susumu at Korakuen and take the belt from him. He then refused Susumu’s offer of a handshake.

At the start of the show Mizuki Watase announced he will return from his torn ACL injury on the 11th April Korakuen show! He only suffered his injury this past December and even his doctors are amazed by how fast his recovery is.

The match was slightly changed because Keisuke Ishii fell sick and couldn’t appear. Ken Ohka who was meant to be the special referee instead took Ishii’s place in the Falls Count Anywhere Match. Shota Kawakami ended up taking signature moves from everybody including the Ganbare☆Pro wrestlers who were not part of the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

There was also a press conference where Yumehito Imanari and Michiyoshi Mishima announced who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title will be. Imanari revealed he nominated Fuminori Abe to get the shot on 16th March. One of Imanari’s goals as champion is to fight the wrestlers he lost to on his journey to winning the SOG Title. He remembers facing Abe for the ZERO1 World Junior Heavyweight Title & ZERO1 International Junior Heavyweight Title back in 2021 and losing to him. It was a very important match for him because the original plan was for Abe to face Shinjiro Otani in the main event of a Korakuen Hall show but Otani got injured and Imanari was chosen to be his replacement. He never forgotten what Abe told him that day and he will always be a fan of him. So now he gets to make a wish come true by putting together this rematch. Abe said at the time of the match he felt great pity towards Imanari for the position he was suddenly put in but as the match went on, Abe experienced emotions he had never felt before. After he won he felt a sense of pride for giving Imanari the opportunity. He would have liked to do the rematch in Korakuen but after giving the idea some thought, he instead asked for it to take place at Takashimadaira Kumin Center because it is a truly independent venue. He also made sure to keep 11th April free in his schedule because he is confident he will win the championship and have his first defence at GanPro’s Korakuen Hall show that day.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ken Ohka Vs X
2. Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi, YuuRI & Ami Manase Vs Yuna Manase, Hazuki & Koguma
3. Special Tag Team Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata & Tatsuhito Takaiwa

A few matches for the 11th April Korakuen show were also announced at the event. Shuichiro Katsumura revealed he will be teaming with Ishii on the show to take on New Japan legends Yuji Nagata and Tatsuhito Takaiwa! Ishii sent in a message explaining that GanPro wanted him to team with Nagata on the show but he thought it would be better for them to be on opposing teams. The story of the match in Ishii’s mind will be him getting to beat the people he looked up to as a boy. Katsumura said he also has an attachment to those two wrestlers. In 2006 he lost to Yuji’s brother Katsuhiko Nagata at the end of year K-1 “DYNAMITE!!” show and remembers Yuji saluting the fans in the ring after the fight. So he would love it if Yuji brought Katsuhiko along to be at ringside for the show. Katsumura also joked about being a New Japan kid teaming with Ishii who is an All Japan kid.

A 6-Woman Tag Match was also announced pitting Ganbare☆Joshi against a special trio of wrestlers reuniting together. Yuna Manase is bringing in Hazuki & Koguma from Stardom to team with her! The three of them are all from the same fifth generation of Stardom wrestlers but their careers split off in different directions. Manase was able to re-establish contact with them at an Ice Ribbon show last year and hatched a plan for her to team up with FWC for the first time ever. She also had reasons for choosing the wrestlers on the GanJo team. YuuRI is around the same age as Hazuki & Koguma so Manase wants to see them face off. Moeka Haruhi recently celebrated her 20th Anniversary and Manase wanted to be her opponent for the Anniversary match. Last but not least, Ami Manase is still Yuna’s younger sister and only just recently started training for wrestling again after being away for over a year.

Ohka claims that GanPro’s zodiac cycle has come full circle because he was born in the Year Of The Snake and GanPro’s first Korakuen show since going independent is also happening during the Year Of The Snake. He feels like this is fake and predicts he is going to be involved in a big singles match on the show. Something that will be on par with his match against Jushin Liger from Union Pro in 2009.

6. Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Arisu Endo

The match update for this show on the DDT website refers to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro as a master and disciple relationship. Now there’s a future I see for Aino: The trainer of future champions!

Uta Takami is probably going to have a much nicer experience being in the ring with Miu Watanabe this time around. They won’t be fighting each other and they’ll have Raku & Pom Harajuku as their opponents so the potential beating will be more emotional than physical.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Kuishinbo Kamen
2. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The Union MAX Title reign is off to a good start for Masato Kamino but is he becoming to smug about it? He has really become proud of his muscular body as of late. However Ryota Nakatsu thinks that Kamino loves himself so much it’s starting to overshadow BASARA and the MAX Title.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

No need to worry about 121000000 being banned from Japan. They successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles in Chile and will have no trouble travelling home where Kyoraku Kyomei will be waiting for them.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024” Results

October 14, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024”, 14/10/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
221 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuki Kanzaki defeated Shota Kawakami with the Fisherman Buster (7:29).
2. Masamune, Yumehito Imanari & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Choun-Shiryu & Takuya Wada when Imanari pinned Shiryu with a Power Bomb (12:19).
3. Ken Ohka defeated Daisuke®️ with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:06).
4. Gaia Hox & Jun Masaoka defeated defeated Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura when Hox pinned Nakamura with the BUTTERFLY EFFECT (13:02).
5. Makoto & SAKI defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with the Running Brainbuster (17:44).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Watase pinned Manase with the Elbow Butt (22:09).
*V1 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.

Today was the day for Ganbare☆Joshi to show their spirit and take over main event. The division’s top two names Yuna Manase & YuuRI fought Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles on the line. Manase & YuuRI tried fighting fire with fire against the champions in order to show just how determined they were to win. Sadly the admirable performance ended in defeat. Irie took care of YuuRI with a Lariat and Watase used his signature moves on Manase. She kept kicking out of the pins so Watase pulled off his elbow pad and hit an exposed Elbow Butt to finally get the three count.

Watase praised Nippon Ganbare☆Rengo after the match for being so strong. He thought he would never lose to a team of women who can only try hard but this match convinced him it could happen after all. He encouraged GanJo to train more so they can have a rematch. Manase revealed she recently spoke to Shinjiro Otani and he gave her advice on how to win the match. He told her to keep going until she wins. She thanked Irie for fighting her & YuuRI today so he could get to understand their feelings. YuuRI said one day a GanJo wrestler will win a GanPro championship.

Over the last month Munetatsu Nakamura has been losing matches to Gaia Hox & Jun Masaoka across the wrestling scene. The pair known as F-SWAG have beaten Nakamura on both GanPro and FREEDOMS shows leading Nakamura to make a rash decision today. He was meant to wrestle Keisuke Ishii on a singles match but when he found out F-SWAG was in the area today he convinced Ishii to team with him for a tag match against them instead. F-SWAG won the match and have now beaten Nakamura for the third time in a row. The rookie still wants to keep fighting them no matter what company it will take place in. Masaoka doesn’t deny that Nakamura loves wrestling and GanPro but he explained that the rookie hasn’t changed much in their matches together. Ishii though? Masaoka enjoyed wrestling him and would be happy to have a singles match against him anytime. Hox also called out Shota Kawakami to stand with Nakamura if this rivalry against F-SWAG is going to continue.
