GanJo Restart Update

March 8, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO RESTART ’23”, 01/04/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. Exhibition Match: Riara Vs Moeka Haruhi
1. Gatoh Move Offer Match: Sayaka Obihiro Vs Chie Koishikawa
2. Special Tag Match: Ami Manase & Moeka Haruhi Vs Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi
3. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa

A press conference was held by Ganbare☆Joshi in Shibuya yesterday to announce the card for the brand’s restart on 1st April. The decision was made for YuuRI Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa to be the main event. Both women strongly appealed to be given the ball and carry GanJo in Yuna Manase’s absence so it is fitting for the two of them to face each other in the headline match. Hasegawa said GanJo welcomed her back into pro wrestling when she returned from injury and had no place to call home. She is aware that the wrestlers who carried GanJo in the past all had to overcome difficulties and smash through the walls built in front of them. YuuRI is Hasegawa’s first wall in her goal to make the brand exciting. YuuRI meanwhile realised she became overconfident after she earned her first win last October. So now she has to get over that and build up momentum by winning the first main event of the relaunch. The two of them are still working together to build the brand, no matter who wins. GanJo has several shows now scheduled for the rest of the year and they will be all women matches.

Manase sent in a video message because she was advised by her doctor to stay at home while she is recovering from her knee surgery. In the video Manase said she is sending somebody from her family to wrestle at the show on her behalf. The person is Ami Manase, Yuna’s younger sister who is a more energetic, powerful and happier woman than she is. A masked woman then entered the room and introduced herself as Ami. Michiyoshi Mishima looked at her and asked if she is really Rina Amikura because he recognises her voice and figure. Ami denied it and repeated she is Yuna’s sister who wants to wrestle on her behalf. Moeka Haruhi never knew Manase had a sister but she is more than happy to welcome her into GanJo. Ami explained she is wearing a mask because she still wants to keep some privacy. She had been secretly training and learned how to do the Lariat from her sister. She would also like to be called Amin, which just so happens to be Amikura’s nickname.

The GanJo trainee Riara is still training towards her eventual debut match. She praised the other wrestlers for always looking out for her during practice. One particular thing that kept Riara’s spirits up was when Haruhi sent a message telling her to look up instead of forward. Riara getting a five minute exhibition match against Haruhi has motivated her to fight with all of her strength even though she feels like she will be crushed under pressure. Haruhi told her she does not need to feel pressure. All she has to do is show what she has practiced, keep the sparkle in her eyes, convey her feelings in the ring and hit her with everything she has. With that said, Haruhi said the exhibition will show whether or not Riara will be ready to make her pro debut soon. If the trainee passes this test then 5th May at Korakuen Hall will likely be where she turns pro.

GANBARE☆PRO “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD 2023” Results

February 25, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD 2023”, 25/02/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
103 Fans

1. Shota defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Gargano Escape (11:37).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Kabuto Mitomi defeated Soma Takao & Yuki Kanzaki when Imanari pinned Kanzaki with the Lariat (14:01).
3. GanJo Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE defeated YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Haruhi pinned YuuRI with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:10).
4. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Keisuke Ishii defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson when Ishii pinned Katsumura wit the Locomotion High Angle Double Arm DDT (13:39).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Elbow Butt (18:31).
*V3 for Mizuki Watase.

Just like he promised, a damaged right arm didn’t stop Mizuki Watase from defending the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against Shinichiro Tominaga. His arm was targeted by the challenger but Watase fought through the pain and even used his right elbow to smash Tominaga over and over until he couldn’t kick out anymore. Watase said after the match that having hot matches helps make him grow. As long as he is in a ring and has the Spirit Of Ganbare Title, he wonders how far can he run? Which is why at the end of March Watase will be going to wrestle in America! He is doing this to set a small fire for Ganbare☆Pro that will eventually set the world ablaze!

Ganpro advisor Michiyoshi Mishima had an announcement about the newly created Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. There will be a 4 team tournament taking place to crown the first champions beginning on 25th March with the final taking place on 1st May. Ken Ohka later asked Keisuke Ishii to enter the tournament together because they won their match today. Ishii turned him down because he has other plans in mind. Ohka then asked Shuichiro Katsumura to team with him. It took a little bit of convincing but Katsumura agreed to do it.

Both Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE gave words of encouragement to YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa for their intentions to relaunch Ganbare☆Joshi. Haruhi said it was a brand started by themselves and Yuna Manase so she has high hopes for YuuRI & Hasegawa to carry it on. HARUKAZE also promised to do her best to support their efforts. Hasegawa talked about her original home promotion shutting down while she was away from wrestling. She had no place to return to until she found Ganpro. She wants to help build Ganjo into a brand that Manase can return to as well as be the place where Riara makes her debut. YuuRI said they will do her best on the reboot show on 1st April so all six Ganjo members can someday create a new story together!

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE” Results

February 23, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 23/02/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
89 Fans

1. GanPro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE defeated Kentaro Hachisu & Moeka Haruhi when Imanari pinned Hachisu with the Lou Thesz Press (12:05).
2. 3 Way Match: Hong Kong International Policewoman (YuuRI) and Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman (Yoshiko Hasegawa) defeated Hong Kong International Policeman when International Policewoman and Domestic Policewoman both pinned Policeman after the Domestic Nunchuck Punch (15:17).
3. All Pro-gun Vs New Pro-gun: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Double Countout (10:20).
3a. Rematch – The Return Of LariPro 2023: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Draw after a Quadruple Knockout (10:20).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Takuya Wada & Yuki Kanzaki defeated Shinichiro Tominaga, Tyson Maeguchi & Munetatsu Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (24:36).

The last Ganbare☆Pro show of today kept Mizuki Watase and Shinichiro Tominaga apart in different matches, although they did interact in a contract signing at the start of the show. The main event instead focused on Watase fighting against the rookie Munetatsu Nakamura. Watase encouraged his opponent to keep firing Elbow Strikes at him before stopping him with a Dropkick to the face. Nakamura kicked out of that but was then pinned with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Watase praised Nakamura after the match, telling him he’s happy to see such a gutsy newcomer in Ganpro.

The return of Lariat Pro Wrestling was delayed when both teams decided to do a match between “All Pro” and “New Pro” tributes. Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga were on the “All Pro” side while the “New Pro” team was made up of Ken Ohka & Shota. Everyone changed their movesets to the theme songs of famous wrestlers that played throughout the match. Things got out of hand and the fighting made its way out of the ring, causing the match to end in a Double Countout. A rematch immediately happened, this time under the Lariat Pro Wrestling brand. Everyone threw Lariats at each other until all four of them were knocked out, resulting in another draw.

The 3 Way Match turned into a scheduling nightmare because none of the original participants were around to take part. Hong Kong International Policeman was missing so Choun-Shiryu appeared in his place. Yoshiko Hasegawa was gone so Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman took her place. Then it turned out YuuRI wasn’t there either so Hong Kong International Policewoman had to substitute for her. The two Policewomen agreed to fight Shiryu two on one. He got annoyed by that and left the match halfway through. Then all of a sudden Hong Kong International Policeman finally showed up and started planting evidence on people to “catch” them red handed. He allegedly found a bag of pills in Daisuke Kiso’s pocket and made the referee overlook any of his cheating in return for letting him off the hook. The two Policewomen had enough though and double teamed the corrupt cop, pinning him together while Kiso made a fast three count. Hong Kong International Policeman was arrested after the match and dragged out of the venue in handcuffs.

The show began with a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Tominaga admitted that Watase embodies the spirit of Ganpro more than anyone else in the promotion, which means he works harder than everybody. Tominaga cannot match that but he would have never challenged Watase if he wasn’t confident he could beat him. Watase is nursing an injured arm but will fight through the pain. He heard Daisuke Kiso will be the referee so he told him not to stop the match if his arm injury gets worse. Even if he suffers a broken arm, Watase will still fight.

Yuka Sakazaki is back in Japan after her latest AEW tour and Janai Kai is in the country as well. Julia Nagano will also be at the show despite being unable to wrestle because of her finger injury.

There will be three announcements happening before the show begins. We know there are still a few trainees that have not debuted yet (Shino, Haru, Momo and Toga). Also The Up Up Girls social media has been teasing new music involving the Pro Wrestling arm of the unit.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED VOL. 1”, 11/02/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

8. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya

Noriyuki Yoshida usually only appears in DDT shows whenever they are in Sapporo. Getting the opportunity to team with BURNING is enough to make him travel to Yokohama.

Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Shota Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Yumehito Imanari & Kabuto Mitomi Vs Soma Takao & Yuki Kanzaki

4. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Match #4 sounds like a nice, friendly kickabout on a Saturday night.

Does the name Kabuto Mitomi sound familiar? He used to appear regularly in Ganbare☆Pro and other places as Masayuki Mitomi. In 2019 he formed P.P.P Tokyo and changed his ring name to Kabuto Mitomi two years ago. His appearance here with Yumehito Imanari continues the growing relationship between GanPro and P.P.P.

The “Young Ganbare” wrestler takes on a member of the “Monthly Young Communication” generation when Munetatsu Nakamura faces Shota.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2023”, 26/02/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya

DDT is being sponsored by the Yamada Suisan seafood company again which means the return of the masked wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The two of them were on the same team last time but now will be opponents the next time they step into the ring together. DDT will be doing a wrestling show with Yamada Suisan in April so don’t be surprised if some meat eating tough guys appear and provoke our seafood loving grapplers.

The international trio of Kip Sabian, Chris Brookes & Hagane Shinno have another trios match together but this time they have the two big singles champions opposing them along with Makoto Oishi!

Everybody in the D GENERATIONS CUP who do not qualify for the final will take part in a 6-Man Tag Match.

1. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Takuya Wada
2. GanJo Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Miyuki Takase
3. GanJo Special Tag Match: HARUKAZE & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Moeka Haruhi & Asahi

More preparation going into the Ganbare☆Joshi restart in April. Asahi and Miyuki Takase are here to take on the home team joshi. Also, what does Moeka Haruhi make of all of this? She remains freelance and can sit on the fence while YuuRI and Yoshiko Hasegawa try to figure out how to relaunch a division.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM ONITA ~DDO HATAAGE BATTLE~”, 19/03/2023
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Jado Alert Issued! Current Blast Jado Missile 6-Man Tag Team Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs HARASHIMA, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata

Warning! Warning! Jado alert! I’d be saying that if it referred to the pro wrestler but in this case Jado stands for “Japan-Danger-Onita”. It is an emergency system that will be installed into the wrestling ring for this exploding death match. When the system’s button is pressed, a countdown will begin warning the residents of Tsurumi that a missile is about to be launched into the ring! When the missile hits its target there will be a massive explosion.

DDT “DDT GOES HOLLYWOOD”, 30/03/2023
Ukrainian Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & Yoshihiko
2. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Joey Janela
3. Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuki Ueno

Two new matches added to the card. First is ShunMao taking on the odd pairing of Chris Brookes & Yoshihiko. After that is a rematch from the D-Ou Grand Prix now set for Los Angeles. Joey Janela beat Tetsuya Endo in an upset last November.

DDT/GCW “GCW VS DDT”, 31/03/2023
Ukrainian Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Dark Sheik Vs Saki Akai
2. Blake Christian Vs Kazusada Higuchi
3. Jordan Oliver & Nick Wayne Vs MAO & Mike Bailey

Freshly announced while I was typing this up is the next GCW Vs DDT match. Kazusada Higuchi takes on a man currently without any friends on the GCW side. Blake Christian has been undefeated in GCW singles matches so far this year. Beating Higuchi will be a big accomplishment to add to his momentum.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2023 IN YOKOHAMA”, 03/05/2023
Yokohama Budokan

1. DDT Universal Title: Naruki Doi (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs X

There will be both a KO-D Openweight Title match and a DDT Universal Title match at the big Yokohama Budokan show.

7. Final Set – Naniwa Kenko Land Yu~topia Presents ~The World Unknown To The 37KAMIINA~: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Toi Kojima

The mystery man Gorgeous Matsuno warned Yuki Ueno about has been revealed. It’s… Gabai Ji-chan? Are we sure Ueno is the one fighting against the odds in this match and not his elderly opponents?

Keigo Nakamura has a chance to take the lead in the D GENERATIONS CUP B Block. Yuki Ishida already lost his first match and cannot afford to lose another. Over in the A Block Kazuma Sumi will try to avoid ending his tournament with three defeats in a row. Ilusion’s next match is happening on 11th February so where he stands on the 14th will be very different depending if he wins or loses that match. He may be fighting for the top spot or his match with Sumi could end up becoming the wooden spoon match of their group.

A bunch of sauna related brands are sponsoring many of the matches on the show. The winners of each sponsored match will receive a prize such as free sauna passes and branded clothing.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/02/2023

Takuya Wada returns to Ganbare☆Pro for a second go around. His second visit is going to be very different this time because he will be in the middle of the build up for Mizuki Watase Vs Shinichiro Tominaga.

In the main event when you eliminate the captain you win the match. But the captain’s identity is a mystery and won’t be revealed until they are eliminated!

Perhaps some of the opponents YuuRI and Yoshiko Hasegawa will be facing in the next two months will suggest who will be on the GanJo relaunch show in April. Like Rina Amikura here.

Manase Injured, GanJo Restart Going Ahead

February 6, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO RESTART ’23”, 01/04/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

A press conference was held by Ganbare☆Pro today for Yuna Manase with Ken Ohka and Michiyoshi Mishima also in attendance. It was to announce that Manase will be out of action for the time being in order to get knee surgery. She revealed she’s been dealing with a ruptured ACL and also a damaged meniscus in her left leg. The origin of the injury happened two years ago but Manase refused to get surgery at the time. Ganbare☆Joshi had begun running shows that year and she wanted to be part of them. Taking a long time off to heal her injury was an unnecessary option and she does not regret her decision. Last Autumn she noticed the pain in her knees was rising higher and consulted with everyone in the company over what to do. She continued to wrestle because it was at the time when she was getting so many opportunities everywhere from fighting in a Spirit Of Ganbare Title match to wrestling in other promotions like Ice Ribbon and Marvelous. Over the new year her doctor told her the knee was in worse condition and she needed to get the surgery. He was also sympathetic to Manase and told her “you did your best.” There is no timetable for Manase’s return but once she gets the surgery she thinks it will be about 10 months before she can start rehabbing her knee.

Ohka was full of praise for Manase’s fighting spirit and being part of Ganpro’s family. He knows she will be back in the ring some day and everyone will be there to support her. A reporter asked Mishima if the announcement will effect the GanJo division. Mishima said the all women GanJo show they announced at the end of last year was originally going to take place this month but then Manase’s situation came up. They also found out HARUKAZE’s schedule outside of pro wrestling (she is part of a comedy duo called Never Give Up) has gotten busier. She told them she prefers to be on the regular GanPro shows whenever she is available because she wants to fight men as well as women. So GanJo will become a blank slate because its two main characters are missing and they will wait for Manase’s return to restart it.

At that moment the press conference was suddenly interrupted by YuuRI and Yoshiko Hasegawa. With Manase out of action, the two of them asked if they could carry GanJo in her place? They both have not been wrestling for long but they want to protect GanPro and keep the flame of GanJo burning for Manase to return. Ohka told them it is not easy to produce a wrestling show by themselves but he was able to do it for the very first GanPro event with just 15,000 yen. He is happy to see YuuRI & Hasegawa doing whatever they can to help and told them the relaunch show will go ahead! Mishima decided the show will take place in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 1st April because GanPro already had the venue reserved for that date. It is now up to YuuRI & Hasegawa to put it all together!

Yoshiko Hasegawa is popping up in Tokyo Joshi Pro again.

And here is the big finale to the tournament. Can Miyu Yamashita finally break her tournament curse? Will Maki Itoh add the Max Heart Tournament with the Tokyo Princess Cup in her trophy case? Or will Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao prove that nothing beats the combination of kaiju and superhero!

4. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya

The KO-D Openweight Title scene has been shaken up in the aftermath of this past weekend. Yuji Hino is now the champion and has two wrestlers fighting over who should face him for the title at “JUDGEMENT 2023”. Before that gets settled those two potential challengers have to team up against Hino & Makoto Oishi.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN BURLESQUE TOKYO ~KO-D TAG TEAM BATTLE ON THE STREET! SHUNMAO VS BONNO DAI SHACHO!~”, 23/02/2023
Burlesque Tokyo

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe

It’s like something out of Sega’s Yakuza series. The KO-D Tag Team Titles are being put on the line in a Falls Count Anywhere match because two teams of crazy wrestlers. Where is it taking place? At the glitzy and glamoruous Burlesque Tokyo club in Roppongi! The idea from Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe brings back memories of Takagi’s adventures with Munenori Sawa when they were the champions. ShunMao are up for the challenge.

GANBARE☆PRO “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD 2023”, 25/02/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Mizuki Watase is aiming to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare Title twice in February. His next title defence is against Towa Iwasaki in BURST on the 19th. Should he win that match then his singles bout against Shinichiro Tominaga on the 25th will also have the title on the line. Even if Watase loses the title to Iwasaki, he will be facing Tominaga on the 25th no matter what.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2023”, 26/02/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP – Final: Winner Of A Block Vs Winner Of B Block

3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs X & X
4. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya

The No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Title will either be HARASHIMA or Yukio Naya. HARASHIMA wants to be the one who challenges for the championship in the main event of DDT’s 26th Anniversary show. Naya has become a stronger wrestler thanks to Hino so it will mean so much to him if he can beat Hino for the KO-D Title.

Whoever leaves Roppongi as the KO-D Tag Champions will have to defend the belts at this show three days later.

Three wrestlers who have very little in common are joining up to challenge BURNING for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The one thread that connects Shinya Aoki, Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine is they all do regular radio appearances outside of wrestling. Sasadango convinced DDT to give the three of them a title shot because they can all promote it on the radio in the lead up to the show.

DDT “HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2023”, 12/03/2023
Saitama Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park Outdoor Stage

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”, 18/03/2023
Ariake Coliseum

1. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Yuki Arai
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

The second match announced for “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” is a real doozy. Yuki Arai gets a second shot against Aja Kong but this time she will be on her own. Their first match against each other was a tag match that took place five months into Arai’s wrestling career. It was so long ago in Arai’s mind that she will no rewatch the match because she is a different wrestler now. She thinks her head has gotten harder so she is not scared of being hit by Kong’s steel cans again.

Ueno’s Universal Blueprint, Tournament Updates

January 12, 2023

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN SHINJUKU ~FIRE!~”, 13/01/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Keigo Nakamura Comeback Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Hideki Okatani & Keigo Nakamura
2. MJ Paul & KANON Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi

6. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
7. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya
8. DDT Universal Title – Survival 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The three wrestlers taking part in the DDT Universal Title match all met for a press conference held yesterday. Naruki Doi said he is ready to continue his fight with Daisuke Sasaki after the two went to a 30 minute draw over a week ago. He expects to settle his score with Sasaki first, then beat Yuki Ueno to win the title. Sasaki (who was drinking) said the match does not need Ueno and he accused him of devaluing the Universal Title after Ueno lost to Kazusada Higuchi at “NEVER MIND 2022”. Sasaki thinks it is now up to him and Doi to make the belt be worth more than the KO-D Openweight Title. Ueno calmly ignored Sasaki’s insults and spoke about his upcoming plans with the title. After he defends it tomorrow, he will put the belt on the line against Samuray Del Sol on 21st March and then he will bring it with him to America. It is his dream to defend the Universal Title in the USA so everything from here on out will be a journey towards that destination.

Before tomorrow’s show begins there will be a contract signing for both the DDT Extreme Title Match for 21st January and the KO-D Tag Team Titles Match for 29th January.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 15/01/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Wakana Uehara
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao Vs Pom Harajuku
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI Vs Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2B: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1A: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1B: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Yuki Aino & Raku

The Max Heart Tournament begins and I have to rewrite the tournament layout because 121000000 Vs Free WiFi is put down as part of the 2nd Round even though it will be both team’s first match.

Wakana Uehara gets her wish and will face Shoko Nakajima. The way it plays out in her head is it will be a high flying battle in the skies. It’s probably not going to turn out that way.

BASARA “BASARA 208 ~HATAAGE ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/01/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The last few months of 2022 saw a bit of a career revival for Yasu Urano thanks to successes in both BASARA and JUST TAP OUT. It’s up to Isami Kodaka to make sure the freelancer does not spoil BASARA’s 7th anniversary by defending the Union MAX Title against him.

Fuminori Abe will have his first match in BASARA since going freelance on this show.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 21/01/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuki Ueno, Toi Kojima & Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Makoto Oishi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Chris Brookes Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani
3. Yokohama Two Major Singles Match I: Yusuke Okada Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno
4. Yokohama Two Major Singles Match II: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino
5. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Antonio Honda

Higuchi and Yuji Hino return to the venue where their 30 minute draw took place. The 6-Man Tag here will be their last meeting before the KO-D Title bout on the 29th.

If Shinichiro Kawamatsu wrestles in a suit does that mean he wears one in the sauna too? That is my first thought after finding out he will team with The 37KAMIINA.

GANBARE☆PRO “TRANSPORTER 2023”, 28/01/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Young Ganbare Cup: Yumehito Imanari (2) Vs Kentaro Hachisu (2)
2. Young Ganbare Cup: Yuki Kanzaki (0) Vs Munetatsu Nakamura (0)
3. Yuna Manase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
4. Mizuki Watase & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Ken Ohka & Thanomsak Toba

What a start to the year Mizuki Watase and Tyson Maeguchi had. The two had a great match for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and now they are teaming up together for a clash against Ken Ohka & Thanomsak Toba.

Yuna Manase versus Yoshiko Hasegawa is a first time singles match between the two.

Over in the Young Ganbare Cup either Yumehito Imanari or Kentaro Hachisu can get one win closer to winning the tournament outright if one can beat the other. Meanwhile when Yuki Kanzaki and Munetatsu Nakamura face each other one of them can get their first win in Ganbare☆Pro.

GANBARE☆PRO “SHUICHIRO KATSUMURA PRODUCE”, 28/01/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. 3-Man Grappling Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, HARUKAZE & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & Tyson Maeguchi Vs HARASHIMA, Mizuki Watase & Keisuke Ishii

Shuichiro Katsumura is keeping himself busy for his show during the tripleshot. Not only is he doing the main event but he is running the gauntlet by taking part in three grappling rules bouts with no striking allowed. Each bout will have a five minute time limit and victory can be achieved by submission or referee stoppage. If a bout goes to a time limit draw then whoever made the least rope breaks will win. If both wrestlers have the same amount then it will remain a tie.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 28/01/2023

3. Oji Specialty GanPro Style Survival 8-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shota, Shinichiro Tominaga & Hartley Jackson

One of the other shows for the tripleshot brings back the Ganpro Survival Tag Match.

If nobody in the Young Ganbare Cup has won all three of their matches then the wrestlers who finish in the top two will face off in a final match to determine the tournament champion.
