7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Elbow To You, Dear (23:18).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event brought back the days of RENEGADES with Mizuki Watase entering the ring wearing a suit to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Shigehiro Irie. It was a match where Watase surpassed his close friend, almost knocking him out with Elbow Strikes. He also used a version of the Venetian that looked a lot like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on the same day that Hiroyoshi Tenzan was retiring from wrestling. Irie was still conscious from the strikes and had enough whereabotus to tell the referee not to stop the match. Instead, Irie continued to take the blows for one last stand until he fell towards Watase. He was caught and Watase thanked Irie before knocking him down with one last Elbow Strike and pinning him to win.

Watase thanked Irie again after the match and joked he can bring him to Disney Land sometime. Watase is proud to say everything he learned in wrestling was taught to him by Irie and he will become the greatest masterpiece Irie has ever trained. Irie didn’t want to take the credit and told Watase he did it all by himself. He remembers a beautiful show they saw together at Disney Land that featured a line once said by Walt Disney: “It’s just been a sort of dress rehearsal, and we’re just getting started.” Watase and Irie are only just getting started too. Later backstage Irie described the match as a “Dramatic Dream”. Watase understands that and does not forget where the two of them came from.

Takumi Iroha had been looking forward to her first singles match with YuuRI today. She always thought she had a knack for wrestling and the pre-match comments from YuuRI about surpassing her idol sounded kind of scary to her. Iroha is used to younger wrestlers who pick fights with her having a chip on their shoulder but she found it refreshing to see YuuRI express herself without trying to act cool about it. Iroha enjoyed wrestling her today and looks forward to crushing her again and again. YuuRI said she would give it her all to start a big revolution today but it didn’t happen. But if her performance motivated the fans to work harder then she can accept that result with no regrets.

New champions were crowned earlier in the show when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated The Deadlock to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Katsumura & Susumu also now have the team name Sussun Katsun. The MMA fighting vibes were felt throughout the match when Tyson Maeguchi pulled a tyre out to lure Katsumura into a Tyre Boxing fight. However the referee refused to let that happen and got rid of it. Katsumura ended up putting Takuya Wada into a Ninja Choke and tapped him out while Susumu held back Maeguchi in a Crossface. The Deadlock have said they want to remain a team after losing the titles but they may also go fight each other in a singles match to push each other into improving more.

After the match, Katsumura said there is no other 50 year old like him. Susumu can’t say that because he is 43. Sussun Katsun then opened themselves up to be challenged by anybody. Rydeen Hagane walked out to answer their call followed by her opponent earlier in the night Moeka Haruhi. The two decided they have to be the first challengers for the new tag champions. Katsumura & Susumu attempted to cheap shot them but Hagane knocked the both of them down with a Double Lariat. She and Haruhi then posed with the title belts. Backstage Haruhi described her team with Hagane like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also said she is the original Ganbare☆Joshi, having first appeared in GanPro during its debut year in 2013 as Gorikiko. So she thinks she definitely deserves to be a champion here!

Ken Ohka felt like he had a great day today. He took on a rare double booking at Korakuen Hall where he won both matches. First he beat Yumi Ohka in a Ohka Contra Ohka match that main evented a WAVE show (Yumi now cannot use the name Ohka for the next two and a half months) then later here in GanPro he scored the winning fall in a 6-Man Tag Match that continued the celebration of his 25th Anniversary in wrestling. Even more impressive, he pinned Isami Kodaka to get that second win. Now he’s feeling so good about this anniversary he wants to hold a third match to celebrate it and challenged Yumehito Imanari. However, Imanari got angry at the idea because he thinks Ganbare☆Pro has been relying too much on anniversaries in general lately to book their matches instead of coming up with other storylines. It’s annoying enough that Ohka wants a third commemorative match to begin with.

Today was the final GanPro show for referee Nido Teshima. He is the referee for TTT Pro Wrestling and will be retiring on 1st September, 2027 but today was his last appearance in GanPro. The roster gifted Teshima with a bouquet and celebrated with him to end the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026” Results

July 25, 2026

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

1. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon defeated Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear (10:40).
2. YuuRI defeated Echika Miyabi with a Camel Clutch Sleeper Hold (11:13).
3. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura by Referee Stoppage after a Knee Strike (11:31).
4. Takuya Wada defeated Yuya Susumu by Referee Stoppage with a Triangle Choke (12:20).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI when Irie pinned Kawakami with a Lariat (19:24).

The Team Dream Futures reunion was a successful one after they defeated Mizuki Watase’s side. Shigehiro Irie doesn’t want to spend much time in the past however. He hears from fans so often that they used to watch him a lot or they used to like him. Irie wants to show everyone that right now he is alive and well in the wrestling world. He will prove it by winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Watase at Korakuen Hall on 15th August. Watase then brought up all the times he travelled with Irie around the world from America to Germany. He believes Irie is still the best wrestler he knows which is why he wants to defend the title against him. He does not want to hear any talk about injuries or surgeries from either side from now until the match has ended. Instead he told Irie they should show everyone the best 15th August ever!

Both preview matches for the 15th August Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles bout ended in Referee Stoppages. Tyson Maeguchi knocked out Shuichiro Katsumura after catching him with a Knee Strike while Takuya Wada held Yuya Susumu in a Triangle Choke until the referee had to step in. Katsumura has no memory of how his match ended but he thinks he won while Susumu claims he had Wada pinned in a Cradle for the three count before he passed out in the Triangle Choke. The Deadlock couldn’t help but laugh when they heard that both of their opponents thought they had won. They think next time they should beat them in a way that they will still remember afterwards.

The finish to the opening match happened after Rydeen Hagane accidentally hit Moeka Haruhi with a Lariat, leading to Ken Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear afterward. When Haruhi recovered she got into a fight with Hagane after the match and the two blamed each other for losing. Ohka broke things up and decided a match between Haruhi and Hagane will happen at the 15th August Korakuen show.

At the end of the show Ohka revealed his partners for the 6-Man Tag Match on 15th August. His first partner is going to be Akira Shoji but before he could announce his second, Shinichiro Tominaga walked in and complained about not being chosen. He asked why and Ohka said it is because the other partner will be Masashi Takeda! According to Ohka, Masada is allowed to join the Toyama Army because his father is from Toyama and he also spent many summer vacations in the area when he was a student. SUSHI then appeared asking to be booked for the show but Ohka rejected him. Luckily for SUSHI, he later got the booking anyway and he will be part of the undercard at Korakuen.

Sweet Secret, Mune’s ACL Injury, Super Japan Sends Off Shinjuku FACE

July 7, 2026

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

The wrestlers from Nariagari have been chosen for the dark match. I recognize a few of those names from previous appearances. Couldn’t tell you what they’ve accomplished since then though.

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

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga

5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Sweet Secret
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We have a mystery on our hands. Mizuki is taking on an unknown opponent who is only being advertised as “Sweet Secret“. If that name by itself is a clue then it’s the only one we’ve got so far.

One of the undercard tag matches is following up on a few things from earlier this year. MIRAI & Toga are teaming up again for a match against Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. That means it’s another meeting between MIRAI and Haru Kazashiro after their really good singles match last month.

The debut of Momo Sato sees her getting thrown into the ring with the three other shortest term wrestlers in Tokyo Joshi Pro at the moment.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Ali Najima
2. FUMA Vs SAGAT
3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Thanomsak Toba
4. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda Vs Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

This is the go-home show before BASARA heads back to Korakuen Hall next month. Champions and challengers all mixing it up with each other is the name of the game in the main event. Shuji Ishikawa is teaming with Yankee Two Kenju given all of their history together while Takumi Tsukamoto is joining up with Aijin Tag.

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 & X Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

The 6-Man Tag Match was supposed to have Munetatsu Nakamura in it but unfortunately he injured his right knee at the Ganbare☆Pro show over the weekend. He has since been diagnosed with a ruptured ACL and will be out of action for the time being.

A sudden civil war over the Toyama region is now turning into a little inter-promotional match with PURE-J. After the last GanPro show Ken Ohka declined to include Yumehito Imanari into his Toyama based group of wrestlers so Imanari went and formed his own Anti-Toyama team with Sentaro Motoshima & Moeka Haruhi both agreeing to join him. Rydeen Hagane from PURE-J fills out his group. Ohka has bolstered up his forces by bringing in Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga as well as PURE-J’s Leon.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Pray for Mizuki Watase to come out of the match in one piece. The last time Shigehiro Irie fought for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he lost to Imanari but still beat him up bad enough that he was left in rough shape for weeks afterward. Now Watase wants to defend the title against his good friend even though Irie is kind of feeling like he’s past his peak. Maybe for Watase’s physical sake let’s hope that is the case.

Shuichiro Katsumura once held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Takuya Wada. Now he is trying to win them off him. Yuya Susumu is getting his first crack at winning a GanPro championship and maybe he can get it if Tyson Maeguchi is feeling a little punch drunk by the time the match takes place.

No word yet on if Nakamura’s match with Chris Brookes will be cancelled because of his knee injury. There is currently no timeframe for his return.

It’s time again for YuuRI to try and take down one of her idols. Takumi Iroha is her next big name joshi opponent.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Satoshi Kojima

Previously DDT had this date booked but it is now going to be a Super Japan show. It will be a special one because it is happening two days before Shinjuku FACE closes down for good. Headlining this important show will be a battle pitting Super Japan against New Japan. Where else could Yuji Nagata against Satoshi Kojima ever be put together?!?

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

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

And the KO-D Tag Title match gets the main event spot over the DDT Extreme Title bout on Sunday.

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

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

DDT’s current No. 1 celebrates his first decade of wrestling later this September. Yuki Ueno already revealed he wants his match on the show to involved Shunma Katsumata and we now know it’s going to be a singles bout between the two of them.

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026” Results

May 31, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026”, 31/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama Industrial Trade Hall
196 Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Knee Drop (8:07).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Yuuka defeated YuuRi & Kirari Wakana when Haruhi pinned Wakana with the Ojousama Clutch (15:20).
3. Ken Ohka & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Nakamura pinned Kawakami with the Octopus Killer (14:01).
4. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu when Tominaga pinned Ryu with a Moonsault Press (16:18).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine when Maeguchi pinned Shoji with the Kaibutsu Goroshi (13:28).
*V1 for The Deadlock.

Pride FC nostalgia can only take you so far these days and that kind of fighting spirit wasn’t enough to beat The Deadlock today. Hideki Sekine used his size and weight to throw the champions around but after he gave Takuya Wada a German Suplex, Tyson Maeguchi knocked him back with a Lariat. Maeguchi then avoided a Brainbuster from Akira Shoji and broke him down with knee strikes and kicks until a strong Middle Kick kept him down for the three count. The two teams shook hands afterwards and Maeguchi began asking if they could make a title challenge of his own? He called out Mizuki Watase and asked him for a match with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on the line. Then after that Watase can bring in a tag partner for a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles later down the line. Michiyoshi Mishima said he can book the SOG Title match first for 14th June. Backstage Watase said he might choose Shigehiro Irie as his partner because they already held the SOG Tag Titles together before. But he could go another direction and pick either Jun Kasai or even Rukiya instead.

Had things turned out differently during the show, Watase would have had a different opponent for his next title defence. Munetatsu Nakamura tried to approach him before their tag match began but Shota Kawakami cut him off. Nakamura ended up beating him using an Arm Clutch Belly-To-Belly Suplex called the Octopus Killer. That turned out to be a fitting name because Mishima then announced that Nakamura will be facing Chris Brookes at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show! Nakamura told the fans his history with Brookes from being a fan of his into becoming his friend. Brookes has done so much to help Nakamura out when he was injured including partially paying for his medical treatment. Nakamura asked Mishima to make this match happen on a Ganbare☆Pro because he thinks the best way of paying Brookes back is to beat him in a wrestling match.

Shino Taking Time Off, GanPro Going All In On MMA Tag Teams, Other Injury News

May 18, 2026

I am going travelling this week so there may be some delays in posting results and other news. Things will be back to normal service before the King Of DDT finals happen at the end of the month.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni
4. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Rukiya
5. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y

With the weekend now passed, Masami Inahata has not been medically cleared to return from his back injury. He will now miss this week’s D GENERATIONS show. Rukiya’s new opponent is Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Mifu Ashida
2. Raku Vs Kira Summer
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Toga & Chika Nanase
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Shino Suzuki will be taking a leave of absence from both her pro wrestling and idol careers to recover from health issues. Her doctor diagnosed that she needed treatment and rest from her activities until they and Tokyo Joshi Pro can determine when she will be cleared to return.

The 3 Way Match that Suzuki was booked for later this week will now be just a singles match between Pom Harajuku and Mifu Ashida.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumaa, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

The majority of D GENERATIONS are filling up the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Yuni summoned up the courage to challenge paleyouth for the titles because NωA Jr. only held the belts for a very short amount of time last year and didn’t get to do anything with them before losing in their first defence. Kazuma Sumi also sees this as a chance to take down three rivals from his generation in one go. I have an inkling that could backfire and we end up with somebody from paleyouth as the next Japanese challenger for the DDT Universal Title.

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026”, 31/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama Industrial Trade Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. YuuRi & Kirari Wakana Vs Moeka Haruhi & Yuuka
3. Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami Vs Ken Ohka & Munetatsu Nakamura
4. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine

The main event is full of faces that only their mothers could love. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi are now called The Deadlock after winning the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Their first defence will be against another pair of like-minded MMA pro wrestlers: Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine!

Over the weekend YuuRI suffered a minor head injury at an Ito Dojo (Kaoru Ito’s dojo) show held in Shin-Kiba. After going to the hospital, the injury and treatment was not deemed serious but YuuRI is taking this week off to recover. She will be cleared in time to wrestle at the GanPro show in Kanagawa.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MIRAI Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

A big test is waiting for Haru Kazashiro in Korakuen Hall next month. She is going to face MIRAI one on one!

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026” Results

May 6, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026”, 06/05/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Chie Ozora with the Haruhi Rainbow (7:14).
2. Yuya Susumu & Reiya Igarashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Sentaro Motoshima when Igarashi pinned Motoshima with the Fisherman Suplex (12:59).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Soi when YuuRI submitted Soi with the Spiral Dragon Sleeper (13:45).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Rekka defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Imanari submitted Kawakami with a Headlock (18:56).
5. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Fuminori Abe when Shoji pinned Maeguchi with the Toyama Black Driver (14:23).

The main event pitted wrestlers from Toyama against wrestlers from the Kanto region. When Akira Shoji scored the winning pin on Tyson Maeguchi, it didn’t take long for Ken Ohka to brag about Toyama winning because it is more urban while Kanto is filled with country bumpkins. Ohka then said when Shoji & Hideki Sekine win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles, he and Shinichiro Tominaga will be the first to challenge them. Although Maeguchi lost directly to Shoji, he is still confident he can defend the tag titles against him. His reasoning is Shoji only has power and his slow speed is a big weakness that can be exploited. He also revealed he and Takuya Wada came up with a new team name. They are now called The Deadlock.

The Toyama team’s bragging didn’t go unnoticed by Shuichiro Katsumura. The Ganbare☆Pro show on 31st May with the tag title match is being held in his home city of Yokohama. He claims to have powerful allies over there so in order to counter the Toyama trio, he is forming the Yokohama City Naka Ward Association. Its three members are Katsumura, Minoru Fujita and Gouma Ryu. He warns this group is stronger than the Toyama team and he’s going to prove it!
