GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025” Results

December 13, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
195 Fans

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya defeated Yasu Urano & Rekka when Watase pinned Rekka with the Venetian (10:59).
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall (9:36).
3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji when Maeguchi pinned Ohka with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (7:33).
4. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated YuuRI & Chika Nanase when Manase pinned Nanase after the Dynamic Hot Shot (13:27).
5. 3 Way Match: PSYCHO defeated Shuichiro Katsumura and Choun Shiryu when PSYCHO pinned Shiryu with the Got Trip (15:00).
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when Ishii submitted Motoshima with a Crab Hold (21:13).

The end of year title shots are safe and sound among the veterans. They crushed the mini-rebellion put together by the rookies who wanted to take over the main event scene for themselves. Keisuke Ishii said the match shows that Ganbare☆Pro has a strong sense of purpose all over from the young wrestlers to the most experienced. All that needs to be done now is for he, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga to reclaim the titles from the current outsider champions in order to lead into the next year. Tominaga told the rookies they may feel like they are hated right now but they will understand in 10 years time.

Not only did Hot Shot get to team up in GanPro but they now have a tag team finisher to win matches with. The Dynamic Hot Shot is when Yuna Manase gives the opponent the Suzuki Dynamic along with Toga doing a Facebuster. Toga spoke about how happy she is to do the match because she looks up to Manase. She also notices how much attention she gives YuuRI but after wrestling her today she understands why. Toga also enjoys how much she is wrestling Chika Nanase lately and hopes that will continue back in Tokyo Joshi Pro. YuuRI gave motivation to Nanase by explaining how everyone who steps into a GanPro ring gets the Ganbare☆Spirit passed on to them.

Today was the first time the MMA fighter Akira Shoji wrestled in GanPro. He was teaming with Ken Ohka because the two are from Toyama. He will be back on 27th December to have a match with Shuichiro Katsumura but if there is one person he would like to meet in the ring again, it is Nobuhiko Takada given their connections to Pride FC. Shoji doesn’t know how often he will be wrestling in GanPro but while he is here he hopes to show off how sharp his skills still are.

After the show had ended, Takashi Sasaki appeared in the room wanting to talk to Yuna Manase. She had been sending him messages asking to team up and he wanted to answer her in person. He is moved by Manase’s passion and wants to team with her even though GanPro and FREEDOMS are rivals. However he wants to be sure that Manase is dedicated enough that they can go all the way towards winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles? She assured him that she is so they agreed to team up for the Mixed Tag Match at 27th December.

The Mixed Tag Match got other updates as well. Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-Chan have decided to team up together after their match earlier in the show ended in a draw. She warns all the other teams that they will be booed against Gabai Ji-Chan no matter what they do. Also HARUKAZE received a message from Hartley Jackson asking to be added to the match, making it a 4 Way Tag. He is willing to team with anyone but would prefer HARUKAZE to be his partner. HARUKAZE agreed to have a one day return to wrestling so Lethal Weapon can team up again!

The Final Road Towards The End Of The Year Starts Now

December 2, 2025

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. 18th Anniversary Special Single Match ~ A Match Of Hate?: Chris Brookes Vs X
3. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

According to Chris Brookes on Twitter, today’s big show for Baka Gaijin + Friends has sold out of tickets!

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025”, 03/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
2. Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Hideki Okatani & Demus
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs HARASHIMA, Akito & Kumadori
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano

Some new title programs have opened up for DDT’s last few weeks of the year. We also have what could be the last ROMANCE DAWN tag match for a while. More on why that is later.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya Vs Yasu Urano & Rekka
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan
3. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
4. Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
5. 3 Way Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO Vs Choun Shiryu
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Ilusion Vs Hinata Kasai
2. 3 Way Match: To-y Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida

This will be the last time in 2025 that MAO will get to wrestle in his home area.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

A new tag team has shown up to challenge Ober Eats! It’s familiar territory for Yuki Aino as she finds herself back to being a tag wrestler but she’s happy to hear that Haru Kazashiro wants to team with her. YukiHaru are wasting no time and have quickly made the Princess Tag Team Titles their target.

The guests announced for the show so far are Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, J-Rod and Max The Impaler.

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025” Results

November 29, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
143 Fans

1. Choun Shiryu, Kaori Yoneyama & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi, Chika & MASA☆TAKA when Shiryu pinned TAKA with the Chinese Bombs Away (8:08).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Sentaro Motoshima when Imanari submitted Motoshima with a Bull Naked Choke (13:39).
3. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase, Rukiya & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (15:12).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI when Nakatsu submitted YuuRI with a Sleeper Hold (15:34).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (15:47).
*V3 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

Ken Ohka’s bad luck at fighting for singles championships continues as he failed to win his own promotion’s top title in his fourth attempt. He tried using a Dragon Suplex when the Spear Of Flame couldn’t get him the win but Masaaki Mochizuki wore him down with kicks until the Shin Saikyou High Kick finished the job. After the match Mochizuki said Ohka had gotten better since their previous match back in April but no matter how much Ohka closes the gap, Mochizuki will always be better than him. He then called out for someone to challenge him otherwise he will keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title going into 2026. Keisuke Ishii entered the ring and said he now believes he is the one to beat him. Mochizuki recognised Ishii because of his Kneel Kick and tried to remember if they competed in the same All Japan Jr. Heavyweight tournament about ten years ago. But he wants to see if his High Kick is better than Ishii’s Kneel Kick so the title match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th December. Ishii said he has main evented Korakuen six times but never won any of those matches. Mochizuki told him that what happened six times will happen seven times so be prepared.

Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI came so close to bringing the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home but a mistimed attack blew their chances. While Katsumura trapped Takumi Tsukamoto in an Ankle Lock, YuuRI grabbed Ryota Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold. Katsumura then went to throw a High Kick at Nakatsu but he ducked and YuuRI got hit instead. Nakatsu then put YuuRI in the Rear Naked Choke, forcing YuuRI to pass out in the move. While the champions celebrated their win, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga entered the ring to challenge them for the tag titles on 27th December. They are also now going by the tag team name Touchable and pointed out they are not some hastily put together duo like the recent batch of title challengers. Touchable have been wrestling together in Ganbare☆Pro as opponents and partners since April.

At the end of the show Ishii, Imanari & Tominaga were confronted by Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima and a fight broke out between the two groups. The younger wrestlers then challenged the veterans to a 6-Man Tag Match on 13th December and if they win, they will take the title shots booked for Korakuen Hall!

It was announced that Yuna Manase is bringing Toga and Chika Nanase from Tokyo Joshi Pro over for the 13th December show. The match will be Hot Shot against YuuRI & Nanase.

D GENERATIONS SP, YuuRI Gearing Up To A Big End Of The Year, Watanabe Vs Suzume At Ittenyon

November 10, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS SP”, 11/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima
3. To-y Vs Daichi Sato
4. Special Single Match: Daiki Nagai Vs Rukiya
5. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Katsuya Murashima Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori
6. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

Tomorrow is a big day for D GENERATIONS because their next show is in Shinjuku FACE rather than the outdoor theater at Ueno Park. There’s also a few young New Japan wrestlers involved too.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

An extra caveat of the Weapon Rumble is the weapons must be bought using only money that To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have won from gambling in the leadup to the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee

It’s been five years of YuuRI but can she make it to six when Sareee is standing in her way?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Ittenyon is getting something completely fresh for its headline match. As far as I know, Miu Watanabe and Suzume have only had two previous singles matches together and they were both in 2022. The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025” Results

November 9, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Fisherman Buster (9:53).
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa defeated Haruka Umesaki & Soy when YuuRI submitted Soy with a Spiral Dragon Sleeper (12:05).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase when Johnson pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife Pin (11:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Kneel Kick (11:53).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu by Referee Stoppage when Nakatsu used a Rear Naked Choke on Shiryu (18:52).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (19:57).
*V2 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

This was Yuna Manase’s second chance at becoming the first woman to win a Spirit Of Ganbare Championship. She is now also the second woman Masaaki Mochizuki ever had a singles match against, the first being Sakura Hirota twelve years ago. He wasn’t comfortable at first having to fight Manase but took her seriously when she went on the attack from the start of the match. Manase was able to kick out of the Twister but was pretty much out on her feet so Mochizuki finished her off with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (right leg instead of the left leg). He told her afterwards she doesn’t need to say anything about the match because everyone who came to see it understood it very well. He’s now starting to love wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro because of how fun it is and looks forward to facing his next challenger. He then helped walk Manase out of the ring and back to the locker room. Backstage Manase said she just had a championship match against Masaaki Mochizuki so she can absolutely call herself a pro wrestler and be proud of it.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka approached Michiyoshi Mishima and begged for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title shot so he can do his part to protect GanPro. He also thinks as the founder of the company it would be fitting if he was the one to beat Mochizuki for the title. Mishima said if Mochizuki will agree to it, he will put the match together. When Mochizuki learned of the idea, he pointed out that Ohka couldn’t beat Shuichiro Katsumura in the previous No. 1 Contender match. But he accepts the challenge and is confident he will beat Ohka in five minutes. GanPro is trying to get the match booked for their 29th November show in Tokyo but they are aware that Dragon Gate also has a show taking place in Okinawa that day.

Ohka had a chance on this show to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles but it didn’t turn out that way in the end. Choun Shiryu did a big stunt dive from the top of a wall onto Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto but back in the ring Ohka accidentally hit him with the Flame Spear. Nakatsu took advantage and clamped a Rear Naked Choke onto Shiryu until the referee decided to stop the match. The BASARA team then found out who is next to challenge them. YuuRI came out and said she doesn’t want to be confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division so she is challenging them to a title match! When it was pointed out that she doesn’t have a partner, Katsumura joined her side and said a tomboy like YuuRI needs a guardian like himself. The title match will go ahead on 29th November.

The reason why YuuRI made that challenge is because she is currently riding on a big confidence boost. That was caused by her announcement earlier in the show that she will be facing Sareee at Korakuen Hall on 27th December! The match will celebrate YuuRI’s 5th Anniversary in wrestling and she promises it won’t just be a dream match. She will use everything she has accumulated in the last five years together to beat Sareee!

Moeka Haruhi will return from her hiatus on the 29th November show.

FREEDOMS/GANBARE☆PRO “SHIN-KIBA NO JIN!!” Results

October 16, 2025

FREEDOMS/GANBARE☆PRO “SHIN-KIBA NO JIN!!”, 16/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
176 Fans (FREEDOMS Supporters: 58 Fans, GanPro Supporters: 118 Fans)

1. Dragon Libre & Reiya Igarashi defeated Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when Libre pinned Motoshima with the Dragon Suplex (11:34).
2. Shuichiro Katsumura defeated GENTARO with the Triple Two 2 Lock (10:22).
3. Violento Jack defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Charro Negro (8:55).
4. Mammoth Sasaki, Daisuke Masaoka & Kenji Fukimoto defeated Keisuke Ishii, Takuya Wada & YuuRI when Sasaki pinned YuuRI with the 29 Years Old (13:17).
5. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase (w/ Nobita) defeated Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura when Manase pinned Sasaki with a Lariat (12:07).
6. Fluorescent Lighttube + Weapon Tag Death Match: Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata defeated Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase when Kasai pinned Ohka with the Cross-Arm Stimulation onto the Fluorescent Lighttubes (18:07).

A rivalry between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS has been brewing for a while now in a bid by both promotions to liven up the indies. The two sides agreed to hold an all out battle at Shin-Kiba 1st RING with the venue split in half for their supporters. GanPro overwhelmingly won the audience battle by drawing 118 of their own fans to the show while FREEDOMS could only draw in 58 fans. Takashi Sasaki’s excuse is most of the FREEDOMS fans were busy with their jobs while the GanPro fanbase have too much time on their hands. When it came to the match results, FREEDOMS ended up on the winners side with four of the six matches going their way. This isn’t the end of the rivalry though. Sasaki wants it to continue until one side completely gives up! Ken Ohka agreed and the two of them will come up with something in the future to keep this “GANDOM” series going.

The main event was chaotic enough with the usage of lighttubes and chairs as weapons but since it was the last match of the show, both sides went all out including the wrestlers at ring side who all joined in on their team’s train attacks. Ohka hit two Flame Spears on Jun Kasai but Tomoya Hirata stabbed him in the head with bamboo skewers. Mizuki Watase tried breaking up pinfalls to keep his team in the match but Ohka was eventually put away with the Cross-Arm Stimulation that smashed him through a bundle of lighttubes. Kasai said the GanPro team inspired him today and he also appreciated how enthusiastic the GanPro fans were too.

GanPro did get a big win in the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase brought along the GanPro staff member Nobita to be their second at ringside. He ended up getting bullied by Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura as they have been doing in the lead up to the show. Sugiura took his glasses and even emptied out a box of glasswear to try and Suplex Nobita onto. However Nobita was saved by the GanPro team and he got revenge by Body Slamming Sugiura onto the pile of glasses. Manase then got the surprise pin on Sasaki with a Lariat to win the match! Imanari said this is what happens when the bullied kid in class ends up training like crazy. He turns into a total killing machine! Meanwhile Sasaki and Manase both threw out the idea of having a singles match against each other to settle their differences. Manase wants the match to happen at Korakuen Hall.

YuuRI wasn’t as successful at her attempt of wrestling against the men. However although she lost Match #4 for her team after being pinned by Mammoth Sasaki, she earned everyone’s respect with her efforts. Sasaki begrudgingly shook her hand and raised it after the match. Things between Jun Masaoka and Keisuke Ishii was a bit more heated with the two of them butting heads before leaving the ring.

There was also respect earned between Violento Jack and Munetatsu Nakamura. Jack thought he was going to be wrestling some young brat but he ended up being impressed by Nakamura’s abilities. The current King Of FREEDOM World Champion used his submission finisher to make Nakamura give up and then gave him a fist bump when the dust had settled.

Shuichiro Katsumura requested GENTARO to be his opponent for the show because he considered the two to have something of a rivalry going on due to their wrestling styles. GENTARO planned on winning by pinfall while Katsumura focused on trying to submit him. It led to Katsumura countering GENTARO’s pinning cradle into a Triangle Choke that then switched into the Nagata Lock 3 for the win.

In the opening match, Dragon Libre & Reiya Igarashi pulled out a FREEDOMS flag and flaunted it in the ring to celebrate their victory. Igarashi said he could feel the fighting spirit coming from Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima so he wanted to overwhelm them with his own strength.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025” Results

October 13, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025”, 13/10/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
129 Fans

1. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Back-Roll German Suplex (9:15).
2. Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu defeated Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi when Shiryu pinned Maeguchi with the Baozi (12:00).
3. Mizuki Watase defeated Rukiya with the Bare Elbow (10:50).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Imanari pinned Manase with the Lariat (11:47).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Zudon (14:40).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura ended in a Double Knockout (17:45).
*V1 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

For the first time in the young history of this championship, a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match ended in a draw. Both Masaaki Mochizuki and Shuichiro Katsumura ended beating each other up to the point where neither of them could answer a ten count from the referee. Mochizuki still had the strength to speak after the match and he admitted Katsumura was better than he expected. He told the rest of the Ganbare☆Pro roster they should be proud of him and then asked if anyone else in the group could handle the kind of match these two old men just had? Ken Ohka praised Katsumura for working so hard and suggested to the others it will be up to them to convince GanPro who should be the next challenger. Katsumura later tweeted that at the age of 49, the last goal he needs to achieve before he turns 50 is to beat Mochizuki!

Ohka also showered praise for Shota Kawakami after his attempt to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Keisuke Ishii ended in failure. Ohka then decided he will be next to challenge Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto for the belts. When the BASARA team pointed out that would make it a 2-on-1 match, Ohka revealed that his partner will be Choun Shiryu! The match will happen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 9th November. The champions claim that place is BASARA’s main venue so they will have the home field advantage. Ohka disagrees because he and Shiryu combined have wrestled three times as many matches there than Nakatsu & Tsukamoto have!

In a few days time GanPro will be facing FREEDOMS in “The Battle Of Shin-Kiba” so wrestlers on the GanPro side fought each other to prepare themselves. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga won against Yuna Manase & YuuRI but the loss only fired up the Ganbare☆Joshi pair even more. Manase asked Imanari after the match to train with her for the next three days before the show takes place. Imanari said GanPro has been around for men and women since the start and it will be better to motivate each other in the ring instead of just talking about it.

The end of the show was suddenly crashed by Toru Sugiura and Tomoya Hirata from FREEDOMS. They came out telling GanPro that their end is coming on 16th October! They also started bullying a GanPro staff member known to everyone at the shows as Nobita. However it turns out that Nobita was originally a trainee in SMASH and also made his pro wrestling debut in 2014 with Asuka Project under the name Takahiro Nakayama until health problems ended his career before it ever got going. Imanari & Manase warned the FREEDOMS side that Nobita is GanPro’s secret weapon in the rivalry and he will be their second at ringside when Imanari & Manase take on Sugiura & Takashi Sasaki.

7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro

Yuna Manase & Toga have chosen a name for their tag team. They can now be called Hot Shot whenever they team together. They think it is the perfect name for them because it’s a phrase used for athletes who both excel in sports and can attract attention.

A fan vote that was done on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Twitter has Uta Takami as the favorite to win the Next Generation Tournament ahead of Kira Summer. Although Chika Nanase didn’t finish last in the vote (that was Ren Konatsu), her low score as well as being left out of TJPW’s second season of the Next Generation Youtube series and also not having a homecoming show yet is convincing her she is the tournament underdog.

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025” Results

September 16, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025”, 15/09/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
149 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Sentaro Motoshima with (9:09).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Makoto defeated YuuRI & Misa Kagura when Haruhi submitted Kagura ith the 79.5MHz 2.0 (9:36)
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Brainbuster Slam (13:06).
4. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:06).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Yuna Manase when Sasaki pinned Manase with a Lariat (15:21).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Ken Ohka by Referee Stoppage with the Triple Three 3 Lock (23:52).

There was a dispute over who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title but now it is clear. Masaaki Mochizuki’s original nominee Shuichiro Katsumura beat Ken Ohka to earn the title shot. The ref was forced to stop the match when Ohka was trapped in the Triple Three 3 Lock but wouldn’t (or couldn’t) give up. After the match Katsumura spoke about how much he’s looked up to Ohka for the last ten years because Ohka protected Ganbare☆Pro from all invaders. In that time more people joined GanPro and became strong enough to do their part in protecting the company. Ohka was fired up from the speech and promised to continue leading GanPro for as long as there are people who will follow him.

Emotions over the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS feud are getting even hotter. The match didn’t even start when the two teams started fighting each other. The FREEDOMS side won thanks to Takashi Sasaki pinning Yuna Manase with a Lariat but the fighting continued after the match had ended. When things started looking too dangerous, YuuRI showed up to protect Manase from Sasaki. His taunting also made her mad enough to spray him in the face. He still declared while leaving that FREEDOMS had successfully taken over the GanPro ring.

GanPro also have attacks from BASARA to worry about. When Takumi Tsukamoto’s team won in Match #3, Mizuki Watase held up his Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title at him and said he wants to defend the belts against BASARA wrestlers. He then said he and Shigehiro Irie can face Tsukamoto and Ryota Nakatsu for their next title defence on 27th September! Tsukamoto liked the idea but did not agree to it straight away because he will need to check with Nakatsu first.

When the show had ended, YuuRI & Manase went back to the ring to rally the fans. YuuRI said she doesn’t want to be limited to the Ganbre☆Joshi division because she wants to join the fight against FREEDOMS! Sasaki and his team overheard her and came up with an idea. Both promotions are busy running their own shows on 20th September but Shin-Kiba 1st RING recently informed him that they have a slot vacant for 16th October. So let’s have the two sides take part in a full scale battle that day! Every match will be FREEDOMS Vs GanPro and Sasaki can even organize it to have the FREEDOMS fans fill up one side of the building and the GanPro fans fill up the other side. Michiyoshi Mishima agreed to the idea but started having doubts when Sasaki told him the FREEDOMS side will include Jun Kasai and Mammoth Sasaki. However Manase and YuuRI are both excited to finally join the fight.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will miss the next several shows to rest and take care of her physical health.
