3. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tomohiro Otani
4. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
5. Gachinko Cement Match: Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Brian Cannon confronted Ken Ohka again to demand a rematch from the first Ganbare☆Wrestling event. However the stakes have been raised by making the rematch a Gachinko Cement Match. The two will fight on a mat placed on top of cement blocks. Cannon’s fandom of Jushin Liger is getting stronger as he now wears a homemade Liger costume underneath his suit.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is beginning to look like an island of misfit toys. Two failed trainees from other promotions have come into Ken Ohka’s promotion. Shinichiro Tominaga, the promising Union rookie from 2011 who quit the promotion after suffering a fractured forearm is back. His opponent Tomohiro Otani was invited to wrestle here by his friend Yumehito Imanari. Otani was a trainee for SMASH but never got anywhere due to “feeling broken.” Ganbare☆Wrestling is offering the two wrestlers a chance to redeem themselves.

1. Union Withdrawl Contra Mask Match: Seiya Morohashi, Cherry & Masato Shibata Vs Nazo Fukumen A, Nazo Fukumen P & Nazo Fukumen G ended in a draw when Morohashi and Fukumen G both pinned each other with a Double Backslide (7:50).

6c. Isami Kodaka eliminated Kenny Omega by Ring Out (26:23).
6d. Isami Kodaka eliminated Cao Zhang with the Isamu Leg Ki (28:11).

Isami Kodaka challenged Kenny Omega to a DDT Extreme Title match on 3rd May in Korakuen Hall. Nazo Fukumen A & P confronted the two and P said he should get a title shot… on 4th January. P said Union should have one giant match a year just like at Wrestle Kingdom. The Fukumen then attacked Kenny and Isami but were easily defeated.

The Nazo Fukumen also interfered in the Fly To Everywhere Title match. Cherry came to Kaori Yoneyama’s rescue and helped her defend the title. Yoneyama’s next defence will be in a 3 Way Match at the May Korakuen show against both Cherry and Nazo Fukumen B.

FUMA wrestled in a karate gi that was given to him by Kazuhiko Ogasawara.

Ryu Gouma was able to free SAGAT from Choun-Shiryu’s Chinese Vampire spell by feeding him bread. Shiryu has sworn he will get revenge on Gouma at Korakuen Hall and turn him into a Chinese Vampire Lawyer.

The war between Union and the Nazo Fukumen has caused even more casualties. Seiya Morohashi is the latest wrestler forced to withdraw from Union after getting pinned in a Mask Contra Withdrawl match. One of the Fukumen was also pinned and he unmasked. It was old man Gabaiji-chan! Morohashi was given a mini farewell ceremony including a video of his highlights in Union (2009: Morohashi joins Union. 2013: Morohashi withdraws from Union) and a fast 10 bell salute.

Mitomi Masayuki, the rookie who was supposed to debut last month until a traffic accident put him on the shelf announced he is going begin rehabbing the injuries.

Fukumen Invasion, Chinese Vampire, New Union Commentators

March 30, 2013

gouma-shiryu-sagat

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY”, 05/04/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryu Gouma Return Match: Ryu Gouma Vs Choun-Shiryu (w/ Cao Zhang)
2. Seiya Morohashi, Cherry & Masato Shibata Vs Nao Fukumen A, Nako Fukumen P & Nazo Fukumen G
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Kenny Omega, Cao Zhang & Menso~re Oyaji
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Nazo Fukumen B

The threat from a group of mysterious masked people is beginning to grow in Union. The Nazo Fukumen now consists of four people. Nazo Fukumen P has told reporters the gang’s aim is to bring true peace to the world. Every conflict on the planet is caused by the entire human race facing different directions. If all humans lived facing the same direction, there would be peace. He then went on a rant about how American toilets are better than Japanese toilets, so no prizes for guessing who is under the mask. The Nazo Fukumen also aim to commercialize their mask and turn it into a popular piece of merchandise.

Choun-Shiryu has brought SAGAT back from China and he is looking… different. SAGAT is now a Chinese Vampire and is under Shiryu’s control. Shiryu aims to do the same to Ryu Gouma so he can add a Chinese Vampire Lawyer to his growing army.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Mio Shirai are the new commentators for Union’s online broadcasts. Despite their recent banishments from competing inside the Union ring, Naomi Susan was able to bring them back into the brand under non-wrestling roles.

Objection! Ryu Gouma Comeback, Sapporo Specialty 4 Way

March 25, 2013

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY”, 05/04/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryu Gouma Return Match: Ryu Gouma Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu)
2. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Daichi Kazato
3. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Nazo Fukumen B

The law student turned pro wrestler turned lawyer will return to Union for his first match since November 2011. Ryu Gouma, who took his name from Ryuma Go isn’t the biggest or the strongest or the toughest or the most athletic guy on the roster. But he has probably the most unique background out of anyone in Union. How a law degree is supposed to win him matches is anyone’s guess but at least the guy has heart.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2 DAYS IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 07/04/2013
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KUDO Vs Masa Takanashi
3. Antonio Honda & Yoshihiko Vs Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma
4. Kenichi Yamamoto & HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito
5. Tomoya & MIKAMI Vs Makoto Oishi & Michael Nakazawa
6. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs DJ Nira & Yoshiko
7. Sapporo Specialty 4 Way Special Match: Shigehiro Irie Vs Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Yasu Urano

Sapporo is now acknowledged as the home of DDT’s crazy free for all matches. Expect the match to spill outside of the building at the very least. Yasu Urano currently holds one of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts and risks losing it if he gets pinned or submits in the match, even to the champion Shigehiro Irie.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013” Results

March 10, 2013

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
242 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mascara Contra Exile Tag Team Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen C ended in a Draw when Fukuda and Fukumen C pinned each other (9:07).
*Hiroshi Fukuda is exiled from Union. Nazo Fukumen C is revealed to be Shota.
2. Kotaro Nasu & Hasuka Makoto defeated Daichi Kazato & Shinya Ishida when Nasu submitted Kazato with a Cross Armbreaker (10:44).
3. Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu) defeated SAGAT with the Hulao (5:05).
4. Gabaiji-chan defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Gabai Bomb (12:12).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (14:07).
*Kaori Yoneyama is the 1st Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
6. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka defeated Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Masato Shibata (21:30).
6a. Isami Kodaka pinned Shuji Ishikawa with a School Boy (6:27).
6b. Shuji Ishikawa pinned Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (14:10).
6c. Isami Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Isamu Leg (21:30).

Among the instruments and equipment involved in the Giant Recital were guitars, trumpets and Yama amplifiers. Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed he didn’t get to sing. He and Naomi Susan invited Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai into the ring to sing a song. Isami Kodaka interrupted to challenge Kasai to a match for Freedoms at Korakuen Hall in May.

A Mascara Contra Exile match kicked off the show. It turns out the Nazo Fukumen has a third member since the female masked wrestler from the last show was replaced with a new masked man instead (Mio… I mean the mystery woman missed the show due to illness). Fukuda guessed Kijimuna was behind the mask. Kasai just casually said Ken Ohka was one of them. A Small Package led to Fukuda and Nazo Fukumen C pinning each other to end the match in a draw. As a result, Fukuda is now exiled from Union while Nazo Fukumen C had to unmask. The masked man was revealed to be Shota, who hadn’t wrestled in DDT or Union since last August and was desperate to return. He apologised for his plan and left the arena crying. Meanwhile Kasai consoled Fukuda and gave him a 5 bell salute.

The creator of the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title is now its first champion. Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry in the decision match to crown the first FTE Champion. Nazo Fukumen A challenged Kaori to a title match but Rumi Kazama refused to sanction the match because she said it is strictly a women’s championship. The masked man told Kazama to never forget those words and left. Yoneyama declared she will defend her new championship many times to any woman who challenges her.

The New Beijing team returned to Union with a fire in their belly. They were very angry over the controversial Japanese toilets versus Chinese toilets argument they had with Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai last month. Shiryu was upset that Cao Zhang was now put into a pointless match with the rookie SAGAT. He decided to make the match meaningful by presenting a mysterious bottle of liquid. Shiryu said it was a forbidden Vampire Elixir that was developed in China over 2,800 years ago. He claims the elixir can turn the dead into vampires. However, it is illegal in Japan to turn the dead into vampires so the bottle will be put up as a prize for the winner of the match. Cao Zhang defeated SAGAT and Shiryu forced SAGAT to drink the liquid. Shiryu promised that SAGAT will return with 4,000 years of Chinese technology powering him.

Kenny Omega will wrestle for Union on 5th April in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

Complete “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013” Card

March 7, 2013

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. SAGAT Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu)
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Gabaiji-chan
3. Daichi Kazato & Shinya Ishida Vs Kotaro Nasu & Hasuka Makoto
4. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Kaori Yoneyama
6. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Masato Shibata

The aim of the Giant Recital match is to grab a musical instrument at ringside and play it successfully. The first team to do so with two instruments will be declared the winners. Fans have been encouraged to bring their own instruments to be included in the match but Union does not guarantee they will be returned in the same condition they were before the match. Shuji Ishikawa thinks that it is only fitting for his Giant Recital to include another giant. So he has chosen Masato Shibata to be his and FUMA’s partner for the match. Shibata doesn’t wrestle often these days but his most recent appearances have been for Diamond Ring, Apache Pro and IGF.

Some extra micro indy wrestlers have been added to the show. Shinya Ishida is from Sportiva Entertainment and Hasuka Makoto is from Team Dera.

The monthly Union press conference was held today to promote their next event in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 10th March. Kaori Yoneyama introduced the brand new championship she named and designed herself, the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title. Even though the actual title belt itself has not been created yet, Kaori had a drawing of what the belt is supposed to look like. She said she wants the finished belt to be pink and silver. Cherry appeared and said she did not like Kaori’s design. However, she still wanted to be the first champion. Rumi Kazama has been appointed the commissioner of the belt and chose Kaori and Cherry as the two wrestlers who will battle to be crowned the first champion.

The Giant Recital is a Fans Bring The Instruments match. Musical instruments are legal to use as weapons and Union is asking its fans to supply them. Ken Ohka was originally planned to team with Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA but his spot is now vacant after he forced himself out of Union.
