GANBARE☆WRESTLING “CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 8”, 16/11/2014
West Chofu Martial Arts Arena
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Origin Regression ~The Student Wrestler~: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tiger Bed Scene with a Face Lock (6:58).
2. URRC Round 2 – Mixed Match Super Fight: Yuji Kito defeated Manami Koda with the Clothesline From Kudzu (9:18).

5. On The Other Side Of The Mind EPISODE 1 ~Yukihiro I~: Yukihiro Abe defeated Yumehito Imanari with the AOISHODO (10:41).
6. GanPro Revolution??: Shota & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Ken Ohka & Osamu Namiguchi when Shota pinned Namiguchi with the Frog Splash (14:27).

It has always been an uphill battle for Ken Ohka. From his days as the Eternal Young Lion to the hero of Ganbare☆Wrestling, there is always a tough challenge in his path. Right now Ohka is getting into a violent feud with his former friend Shota who sided with another enemy Mitomi Masayuki. Ohka’s latest plan of teaming with his arch rival Osamu Namiguchi failed. It almost worked, Namiguchi had Shota pinned with a Fisherman Suplex but Masayuki pulled the referee out of the ring. Shota recovered and hit a Frog Splash for the unexpected victory. Ohka was left in a bloody mess but challenged Shota & Masayuki to another match on 28th December, this time with Yumehito Imanari as his partner.

GENTARO was pretty enthusiastic to see Imanari take on Yukihiro Abe. It was Abe’s first match in four years and he earned the victory. GENTARO challenged Abe to a match and it was accepted for 28/12.

The returning Hong Kong International Police Man wrestled with a neck brace during the 3 Way Match. His neck injury was so bad that he submitted during a pinfall after Choun-Shiryu gave him the Chinese Gory Bomb. As a result, Shiryu got to unmask Police Man. To the surprise of no one, it was Atsushi Maruyama. Actually that’s a lie, Shiryu was actually stunned when he found out who it was. He never expected it to be Maruyama because he knew Maruyama was out of action with a neck injury. Police Man denied he was Maruyama and demanded proof. He then said he will leave and never return.

When Manami Koda lost her URRC match again, Imanari had some ideas to help her improve. He gave her a pair of black rimmed glasses and said she looks like the singer Angela Aki. He told her to wear the glasses for her next match and that her new idol name is Angela Ami.

Shota revealed his reasons for turning on Ken Ohka and Ganbare☆Wrestling. Shota thinks that Ganpuro has lost its heat and excitement. Nobody in Ganpuro fights as crazy as they used to so he decided to join forces with someone who does, it just so happens to be the enemy. Shota believes he and Mitomi Masayuki share something in common. They both fight with a sense of crisis. He wants to create something new and start a revolution in Ganpuro.

Former DDT wrestler Yukihiro Abe has come to Ganpuro. He and Yumehito Imanari reunited after last seeing each other 4 years ago when Imanari directed a documentary about Abe. When Ken Ohka found out, he was so excited he made Imanari Vs Abe for this show.

Hong Kong International Police Man is coming back even though he was last revealed to be the banished Atsushi Maruyama. Will it be the same guy this time?

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 6”, 28/09/2014
West Chofu Martial Arts Arena
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy

Even though Ken Ohka and Osamu Namiguchi won their match, Namiguchi was in no mood to play friendship. He rejected a handshake from Ohka and said he only teamed with him because they had common enemies. Now that was out of the way he next wants a singles match with Ohka. The challenge was accepted and will take place on 17th October.

The feud between Power Of Dreams and Union showed no signs of cooling off. Yumehito Imanari lost to Tomoya Kawamura and then both got involved in the Chikara Vs Mitomo Masayuki match. A brawl between the four led to a no contest. Ohka announced a No DQ Tag Team match for the 17th October show.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita

A lot of pressure is on Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita for the main event. Kenny Omega was able to beat them handily last week and that was with Daisuke Sasaki instead of Kota Ibushi. Omega has been relentless with his insults, calling Endo a D-Rank virgin and Takeshita a G-Rank brat. He thinks they have no chance of winning. Ibushi feels the same because a week is not enough time to prepare for the Golden Lovers. He thinks the challengers have less than 1% chance of winning and even then they need to be lucky. Takeshita believes it is not impossible to beat the Golden Lovers and this match will be his and Endo’s rebirth.

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Shuji Kondo with the One Winged Angel (21:01).
*V4 for Kenny Omega.

Another All Japan Jr. Heavyweight bites the dust in the company’s attempt to unseat Kenny Omega as their champion. This time it was Shuji Kondo that stepped up to the plate only to fall to the One Winged Angel. After the match KAI came out to challenge Omega to a title match. Kenny extended his hand for a handshake only to smack KAI over the head with the title belt. He then threw insults at KAI, calling him a fool who was not a hero to the All Japan fans. Omega could next defend the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title back home in DDT on April 1st when he faces Shigehiro Irie in a singles match. That is of course if Irie drops enough weight to qualify as a Jr. Heavyweight.

A few days before Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma were supposed to defend their KO-D Tag Team Title in DDT, they go over to STYLE-E to defend the belts against Masato Shibata & Shota. Although the challengers got some momentum during the match, the match ended with Takagi giving Shota a Spiccoli Driver and then handing him over to Soma for a Go 2 Sleep and finally the Boma Ye to win the match.
