YuuRI Wins ICE×∞ Title In Ice Ribbon

June 24, 2024

ICE RIBBON “AFTER THE RAIN, RIBBON 2024”, 23/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,088 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa defeated Totoro Satsuki, Yuna Manase & Asuka Fujitaki when Umino pinned Satsuki with a Hurricanrana (16:31).
6. ICE×∞ Title Decision Match: YuuRI defeated Hamuko Hoshi with the Swanton Bomb (21:53).
*YuuRI becomes the 38th ICE×∞ Champion!

One of the places you will often find YuuRI wrestle in away from Ganbare☆Pro is Ice Ribbon. She’s been doing pretty well there too, going as far as to win the ICE×∞ Title last summer. Earlier this year the ICE×∞ Title had to be vacated when the champion Ibuki Hoshi, the person who won the belt from YuuRI, announced she was pregnant. Ice Ribbon held a league tournament to determine a new champion and the final came down to YuuRI versus Hamuko Hoshi (who just so happens to be Ibuki’s mother). YuuRI broke Hoshi down with Thrust Kicks and Buzzsaw Kicks until she could hit the Swanton Bomb. One wasn’t enough so YuuRI had to hit it again to win the tournament and become champion again. In her victory speech she declared herself the superhero of Ice Ribbon! GanPro will always be her home but she considers Ice Ribbon her second home and does not want to be considered an outsider champion this time round.

Yuna Manase also likes to spend time wrestling in Ice Ribbon. She has a tag team here with Totoro Satsuki called BIG★DEKAI!!! and they are currently the International Ribbon Tag Team Champions (YuuRI held the title last year too). They have yet to have a title defence, instead they wrestled on this show with Asuka Fujitaki losing a 6-Woman Tag Match against Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa.

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SPOOFING SIDE STORY~” Results

April 26, 2022

GANBARE☆PRO “POCCHARI JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 3 ~WAIST SPOOFING SIDE STORY~”, 26/04/2022
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
50 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special Poccha Libre Match ~Fighting Illustrator Vs American Drag Queen From The Philippines~: Yappy defeated Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (8:14).
2. PocchaJo New Chapter ~Fighting Weather Reporter Vs Former Weightlifting Women’s Triple Crown Champion~: YuuRI Vs Maika Ozaki ended in a No Contest when Beauty Suzuki, 643 Mangaritsutsua and Yappy all interfered (7:50).
2a. Overtime: Maika Ozaki & Yappy defeated YuuRI & Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) when Yappy pinned Suzuki with the Choke Skull Slam (5:38).
3. PocchaJo 3rd Anniversary Match: Yumehito Imanari defeated Yuna Manase with a Lariat (16:35).

The return of Pocchari Joshi to celebrate its 3rd Anniversary was also a chance to bring Yumehito Imanari’s vision back to its origin. He created the sub-brand to let joshi of a certain size show off their individuality and charm in the ring. He hopes Yuna Manase and others will continue to do so. At the end of the show, Imanari invited Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon into the ring. She has been teaming with Manase in Ice Ribbon lately and they are fighting to get a shot at the International Ribbon Tag Team Titles. Imanari encouraged the pair to continue chasing after the belts and told Satsuki to carry Ice Ribbon on her back.

Moeka Haruhi was pulled off the show after she tested positive for covid. Maika Ozaki’s replacement opponent was YuuRI but their match was spoiled when Beauty Suzuki & 643 Mangaritsutsua started interfering on YuuRI’s behalf. Yappy then came out to even the odds and a big fight caused the match to get thrown out. The four wrestlers agreed to do a Ganbare☆Pro Vs Ice Ribbon tag match on the spot. The Ganpro team fell apart when Suzuki accidentally hit his partner. The scenario then happened in reverse but this time YuuRI’s attack was intentional as payback. Mangaritsutsua tried to get involved but Ozaki put the drag queen in a Torture Rack while Yappy finished off Suzuki.

I should have expected Yumehito Imanari to bring back Pocchari Joshi for his produce show. Yuna Manase takes on Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon. At least for now she is with Ice Ribbon. Not a lot of good news coming out of that place lately.

Hajime was once known as Hajime Nomura from WRESTLE-1. He switched over to an undead facepaint look right around the time W1 collapsed last year. He has since haunted the indie scene and will make his first appearance in Ganpro.
