April 29, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
588 Fans

1. PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when PSYCHO pinned Motoshima with the High Fly Bomb (9:57).
2. Ram Kaichow defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Onryo Clutch (6:55).
3. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Nakatsu pinned Ohka with a Spinning Leg Lock (10:32).
4. Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine defeated Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura when Shoji pinned Katsumura with the Modified Jackhammer (13:33).
5. Utami Hayashihita defeated YuuRI with the Crusade (13:22).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Wada pinned Imanari with the Assault Point (13:46).
*Touchable fails in V3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi become the 6th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (22:07).
*V2 for Mizuki Watase.

In a rematch from three years ago, Mizuki Watase again defeated Keisuke Ishii to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World. He was lucky to get out of there in one piece though. The match took so much out of both champion and challenger that Watase needed help being walked to the back afterwards. He felt fulfilled none the less, saying there is nothing in the world with the kind of nourishment that pro wrestling has. He is determined to turn Ganbare☆Pro into a huge wrestling company and lead the way. He also said he loves Ishii and believes today should put away any thoughts Ishii has of retiring from wrestling. Ishii said he felt annoyed over losing yet another Korakuen Hall main event. However he could feel his confidence growing throughout the match and will fight Watase head to head again some day. He promised to work hard to get into the condition needed to not only headline Korakuen Hall but win a main event there too after eight failed times at trying.

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles changed hands with two former champions now regaining the gold. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi both held the belts before but with different partners. Today they defeated Touchable after a few close calls. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga almost had Maeguchi taken care of with the 3D. Imanari then hit Wada with the Lariat and Power Bomb but he kicked out from both moves. Wada turned things around and used the Assault Point to pin Imanari for the title change.

Last week Utami Hayashihita caused a stir when she announced she will be leaving her home promotion Marigold next month. Today was her first match since dropping that bombshell, facing YuuRI and beating her with the Crusade (Spinning Razor’s Edge Bomb). Hayashihita told reporters backstage that she is friends with YuuRI and they often drink together. She enjoyed the warm atmosphere of GanPro and is happy to see YuuRI grow in this environment. She compared the GanPro atmosphere to being surrounded by a big family, and she should know what that is like! When asked if she would ever come back here, Hayashihita said she isn’t thinking about the future at the moment, she’s living her present life to the fullest. YuuRI thinks Hayashihita has already decided on where she is going to go next and doesn’t know if they will ever be able to have another singles match together again. She will seize the chance if they can.

Akira Shoji & Hideki Sekine used the music of Pride Fighting Championship theme for their entrance and also their victory themes. When Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura attacked them with chairs at ringside, Suzuki mocked them by asking “What kind of Pride is this, you bastard?” Shoji got the win by using a Modified Jackhammer on Katsumura that he later named the Toyama Black Driver or TBD for short. Sekine said he and Shoji are the strongest pro wrestlers because they are both 52 years old and were born during the peak of Japan’s baby boom. The two of them are also carrying the legacies of Pride and RIZIN and think they can chase after the SOG Tag Titles next.

Ken Ohka cannot believe it’s been 25 years since his debut. He had his first match in the same year when Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima were all born! He doesn’t know what he can realistically contribute to society but he hopes his wrestling can play a part in bringing peace to Japan and across the world. He fought as hard as he could with Guts Ishijima against Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki but was ultimately rolled up into defeat on this day.

The match between Moeka Haruhi and Ram Kaichow was put together because the two of them both debuted in 2005. Haruhi tried winning by going for roll ups and other cradle moves but Kaichow caught her with the Onryo Clutch to get the three count instead.

In the leadup to the opening match, Nakamura revealed that he would avoid using Suplex type moves because he was coming back from a herniated cervical disc. He lived up to his word but the victory still went to the outsider team of PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu.

Yuna Manase attended the show and gave reporters an update to her current health. She is still recovering from getting surgery on her collarbone two months ago because the bone has not fully healed yet. However her doctor noticed an abnormality in her blood tests and after getting an MRI, it was discovered that Manase has swelling in her ovaries. According to her doctor, the ovaries swelled up to five times the normal size and it was a miracle they did not burst while Manase was wrestling. She is currently waiting on the official diagnosis but she is under the impression that she will need to get another operation done soon. She told this to the reporters in order to get the message across about how important it is to regularly get health checkups. She hopes she can be fully recovered in time for GanPro’s next Korakuen show but it will likely take several more months before she can return to the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026” Results

March 28, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
134 Fans

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yuya Susumu with the Spinning Body Bomb (5:55).
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: PSYCHO defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Reverse Clover Hold (8:49).
3. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Taiwan Ramen Man and Hora-chan when Haruhi pinned Ramen Man and Hora-chan with a Double Jackknife Pin (9:10).
4. Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima when Watase submitted Motojima with a Crab Hold (12:54).
5. Rin defeated YuuRI with a Locomotion School Boy (12:06).
6. Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka, Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji when Maeguchi pinned Tominaga with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (15:38).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated PSYCHO with a Tiger Suplex (12:07).

All this time spent demanding a match with Keisuke Ishii and Yuya Susumu lost to him in under six minutes? Well, Ishii was a man on a mission today because he was determined to become the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He was Ganbare☆Pro’s last hope against the outside competition when PSYCHO eliminated Shuichiro Katsumura over on the other side of the bracket. Ishii was able to beat PSYCHO in the final and he joked about the fans and probably even Mizuki Watase were disappointed over the result. However, Watase reminded Ishii of the match they had at Korakuen Hall three years ago. He wants the two of them to surpass it in the same building on 29th April! Ishii said that date is when he is at his absolute best form. Watase thought about what he meant and remembered that is the date when Ishii won the All Asia Tag Team Titles back in 2014!

At the end of Match #6 Tyson Maeguchi came to the realization that he just beat one half of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions and it was thanks to the other half. The finish of the match was Yumehito Imanari hitting Shinichiro Tominaga with a Lariat and then Maeguchi finished off Tominaga with the Flying Knee Kick. Maeguchi decided he should get a title shot against Touchable at the 29th April Korakuen show. Ken Ohka offered to be his tag partner but Maeguchi turned him down to team with Takuya Wada instead. Wada agreed, having already kept his schedule open hoping to get booked on the show. He warned everyone that he didn’t come back to GanPro to be treated like a punching bag again! Michiyoshi Mishima thought over their request and pointed out both Maeguchi and Wada are former tag champions but the physcial belts did not exist when Maeguchi was on the first champion team. Mishima felt the two of them would be perfect opponents for Touchable and agreed to book the match.

Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

March 10, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

The final match of Kaya Toribami in her current gimmick will be against HIMAWARI. After that Toribami will become Sakura Hattori.

BASARA “BASARA 302 ~TAKAGARI 33~”, 21/03/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka Vs Ippanjin Munenori Sawa
2. Evil Uno & Ram Kaichow Vs Shota & Marika Kobashi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takashi Sasaki, Naoshi Sano & Demonio Uno Vs Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Mac Matsushita
4. Special Single Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Kumadori
5. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
6. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
7. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

What in the hell is this lineup? We’re getting a 6-Man Tag Match between “Goro Tsurumi’s Genes” against the “Toryumon Genes”. Evil Uno is teaming up with Ram Kaichow even though there is also Demonio Uno on the show. The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. YuuRI Vs Rin
4. Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

A mini tournament has been put together to decide who will be the next Japanese wrestler to face Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title (he wants to defend the belt in America next month). As part of this tournament Yuya Susumu will finally gets his long awaited singles match against Keisuke Ishii. The other side of the bracket sees Shuichiro Katsumura face PSYCHO.

A big month of singles matches lies ahead for YuuRI. She has two important opponents to fight soon, the first of which is Rin (aka Rin Kadokura) as part of Rin’s road to retirement.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Something With To-y & Kazuki Hirata: To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Playfulness Series Act 5: Danshoku Dieno Vs Hinata Kasai
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki Army!: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Nise Daisuke Sasaki A, Nise Daisuke Sasaki B & Deka Daisuke Sasaki
4. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
2. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu

Friends and foes alike will be gathering together to celebrate not only Ganbare☆Pro’s 13th Anniversary but also Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling as well. He recently beat Guts Ishijima for the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title but here they will be tag partners. Masaaki Mochizuki returns to GanPro for the first time since losing the SOG Title. Ryota Nakatsu is also coming over from BASARA to take part in Ohka’s match.

The second of YuuRI’s big matches will be against Marigold’s own Utami Hayashihita!

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026” Results

March 7, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
143 Fans

1. Yumehito Imanari defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Crab Hold (10:23).
2. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shin Suzuki defeated Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika when Shoji pinned Shiryu with the STO (10:13).
3. Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami with the AUF DIE FRESSE (12:37).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated YuuRI with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:18).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Susumu submitted Tominaga with the Crossface Lock (11:31).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the Venetian (16:08).
*V1 for Mizuki Watase.

The first title defence is in the bag but it almost could have gone so wrong for Mizuki Watase. He was ready to fight Takuya Wada, “The King Of Pancrase” and didn’t expect he would face Takuya Wada the pro wrestler. Watase kept simulating the match over and over to prepare for today and had the conclusion that as long as he wouldn’t give up to Wada’s submission holds, he would win in the end. That was proven right and he won by pinning Wada with the Venetian.

After the match Shuichiro Katsumura challenged Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and the champion said it is a match suitable to headline Korakuen Hall. That comment led to a chain reaction of different wrestlers getting into the ring. Keisuke Ishii said Katsumura was jumping the gun and if anybody deserved to be in a Korakuen title match main event again it is him. Then Yuya Susumu showed up complaining that Ishii should be fighting him next instead of getting a title shot again. PSYCHO also got into the ring to let everyone know he wants the next shot without actually saying anything. Michiyoshi Mishima thought a 4 Way Match should between everyone should determine the No. 1 Contender until someone shouted it should be a tournament instead. Mishima agreed and made a one day tournament for 28th March for the No. 1 Contendership. Ishii and Susumu will finally have their singles match while Katsumura faces PSYCHO. Meanwhile Watase said he wants to go have a title defence over in America before the next Korakuen show happens!

Shigehiro Irie must be missing Germany while the 16 Carat Gold Tournament is happening over there this weekend. He used his AUF DIE FRESSE finisher (holds the opponent’s arm in a Hammerlock behind their head and then knocks them down with an Elbow Butt) to win his match.

Some other matches were made for upcoming GanPro shows. On 28th March YuuRI will face Rin, the former Rin Kadokura who recently returned to wrestling but will be retiring from the business this upcoming May. Ken Ohka also wants to form a Toyama trio with Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji at that show. Then on 29th April there are two matches booked so far. The first is Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu to celebrate Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling. The other match is YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashishita from Marigold!

Yuni Injured, New Gen Army, Grand Princess ’26 PR Updates

March 3, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 8”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai

5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Hideki Okatani

Over the weekend Yuni injured his left elbow and he has since been diagnosed with a joint contusion that needs two weeks of rest in order to recover. For that reason Yuni will be missing all of the DDT shows in the first half of March starting with the next D GENERATIONS show. Mikiya Sasaki is replacing him as Ilusion’s new opponent.

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Junta Miyawaki & Antonio Honda
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Yuni & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase defeated Masaaki Mochizuki (c) with the Bare Elbow (18:10).
*Masaaki Mochizuki fails in V6. Mizuki Watase becomes the 10th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

The reign of Masaaki Mochizuki has come to an end. Mizuki Watase is now a two time Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion! He took an early advantage when during a fight outside the ring, Mochizuki missed a kick and his leg made contact with the corner post. While that didn’t stop Mochizuki from throwing kicks, Watase taunted him by saying he will stand and take the blows until the leg breaks! Mochizuki went on to Middle Kick him 19 times before giving him the Twister but it only got him a two count. Watase went to use the Venetian but Mochizuki escaped and hit the Shin Saikyou High Kick. However Watase wasn’t knocked down by it and he hit back with an Elbow Strike followed by the Bare Elbow Strike, pinning Mochizuki down to the mat to get the pin and become champion again.

Watase was too beaten up to start talking immediately after the match so he allowed Mochizuki to speak first. Mochizuki said its been 10 months since his first match in Ganbare☆Pro and 6 months since he became the SOG Champion. He thanked the fans for cheering him on despite being an outsider and he values the enjoyable experience he’s had here. He though he would have held the SOG Title for the rest of his career but instead his mission ended today. He then wrapped the title belt around Watase and Watase thanked him for being a strong wall that made all of the GanPro wrestlers grow by fighting him. Watase told Michiyoshi Mishima he’s going to cause some trouble because he is booked for a death match in America this April (does he mean the Death Vegas Invitacional?) and he will bring the belt with him. But as long as he is here, GanPro will never die! All of the wrestlers celebrating him left the ring to end the show but Takuya Wada was the last one to get out. He made a signal to Watase that he wants to challenge him for the title.

Yuya Susumi returned to GanPro looking to get his singles match with Keisuke Ishii. He got the winning submission in his match then reappeared after Ishii’s match to confront him over the potential singles bout.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026” Results

January 31, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
185 Fans

1. Akira Shoji defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Reverse Triangle Choke (5:29).
2. Hong Kong International Police Woman defeated Hong Kong International Police Man with the Ojosama Clutch (14:41).
3. Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Chanyota & Non Toraga when Manase pinned Toraga with the Lariat (8:24).
4. Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase defeated Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with a Bear Elbow (17:11).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii when Susumu submitted Ishii with the Crossface Lock (15:53).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with a Crucifix Pin (17:08).
*V5 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

It was a rocky road to get to this show with some changes happening along the way. Masaaki Mochizuki was supposed to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Munetatsu Nakamura but Nakamura pulled out with a neck injury and was replaced by Shinichiro Tominaga. Then the location of the show had to change from Takashimadaira Kumin Center over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING on short notice because the first venue was being turned into a polling station for the upcoming House Of Representative elections.

In the main event, Tominaga came close to winning with his finisher but Mochizuki countered it with a sudden Crucifix Pin to win the match and survive a close shave. He praised Tominaga for acting like a pinch hitter for today’s show. He heard that Tominaga is the strongest “amateur” pro wrestler but today’s performance showed there is nothing amateur about him. He had more of a sense for pro wrestling than many people Mochizuki has fought in the past. Mizuki Watase entered the ring and talked up Mochizuki for being a great champion. Watase feels like he is at the point where he can beat a great champion like Mochizuki so he wants a title shot. The champion knew he would face Watase some day but didn’t expect it to be this soon, although he admits the time is right in Watase’s case.

Yuya Susumu has come back to Ganbare☆Pro on a mission to get a singles match against Keisuke Ishii. In today’s tag match he countered Ishii’s Double Arm DDT into a Crossface Lock, making Ishii immediately tap out to the move. Susumu then promised he isn’t going to run away from GanPro just because he beat Ishii today. He’ll come back so he can get that singles match he wants so much.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka announced he will be teaming up with freelance wrestler Hiroaki Moriya at GanPro’s Osaka show on 1st March. They are scheduled to face Touchable at the show so Ohka wants the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles to be on the line. Yumehito Imanari agreed to the challenge but only on the condition that Ohka goes and vote in the elections before then.

More last minute changes were needed when Moeka Haruhi and Choun Shiryu both unexpectedly no showed the event. Luckily GanPro had two replacements on hand who had a grievance with each other. Hong Kong International Police Woman defeated Hong Kong International Police Man in a match that was built around a crime case involving police corruption.

70’s Team: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada, Choun-Shiryu, Yasu Urano & Tsuyoshi Okada

For the second year in a row Ganbare☆Pro held a one day tournament pitting three teams of different generations against each other. There was the 1970’s team, the 1980’s team and due to a shortage of members an alliance combining the Heisei era along with wrestlers born in the 1960’s. But just like last year it was the 1980’s team that ended up winning it. Yumehito Imanari told everyone afterward that his generation listened to TRF and he wants to tell AKIRA & Ricky Fuji in particular just how great the band is. The Heisei wrestlers weren’t in a dancing mood thought and promised to get revenge if a third tournament ever takes place.

The 1970’s team lost their chance of winning the tournament thanks to Shota Kawakami. The rookie took a major beating from Shuichiro Katsumura in their match that made its way outside the ring. When Katsumura was done and started walking back to the ring, Kawakami suddenly grabbed him and held him back as much as he could. He succeeded in stopping Katsumura from entering the ring in time, ending the match in a double countout.

Yuya Susumu from FREEDOMS was at the show and approached Munetatsu Nakamura after hearing that Nakamura wanted to fight him in a match. Susumu told him they can have the match at FREEDOM’s next Korakuen Hall show on 19th March and he will also put the King Of FREEDOM World Jr. Heavyweight Title on the line! He bragged that he can beat Nakamura within five minutes under normal circumstances. Nakamura responded that he will beat Susumu at Korakuen and take the belt from him. He then refused Susumu’s offer of a handshake.

At the start of the show Mizuki Watase announced he will return from his torn ACL injury on the 11th April Korakuen show! He only suffered his injury this past December and even his doctors are amazed by how fast his recovery is.

GANBARE☆PRO “WHERE EAGLES DARE 2024”, 17/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
186 Fans

1. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shota Kawakami with a High Kick (6:58).

*V3 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.
7. Emergency Decision ~ Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Yumehito Imanari defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Lou Thesz Press (8:04).

At the end of the show Keisuke Ishii was given the microphone to give out a closing speech. Yumehito Imanari interrupted him and challenged Ishii for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title on 27th December. Shuichiro Katsumura then got involved because he wants to be the next contender instead of Imanari. Michiyoshi Mishima was put on the spot to make a decision and after listening to the calls from fans as well as all the wrestlers he booked an impromptu No. 1 Contender match to take place immediately!

Imanari dodged a Moonsault from Katsumura and pinned him with the Lou Thesz Press to win the match and get the next title shot. He thanked Katsumura after the match for his behind the scenes work with Ganbare☆Pro especially when he is surrounded by people like himself who make unreasonable demands. He loves Ishii but has been beaten down by him so many times. In order to prove everything he has built in GanPro he needs to beat Ishii and take the title from him! He also identified Ishii’s father in the audience. Ishii’s father is a fan of Imanari and always cheers for him. So even though they get along, Imanari warns him that he will win the championship from his son!

Ken Ohka missed another chance to get a big championship win in his own company. He came close to pinning Mizuki Watase with the Flame Spear but Watase kicked out at the 2.99 count. He also ended up getting injured by dislocating his elbow during the match. Then when Shuji Ishikawa was busy fighting Shigehiro Irie outside the ring, Watase took over and pinned Ohka after a big Headbutt. Watase said afterward that Ohka cannot shine without having Danshoku Dieno & Muscle Sakai there to back him up. He wants Ohka to continue leading GanPro but he also wishes Ohka would have more trust in the rest of the GanPro family. Meanwhile Irie is worried he won’t be defending the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles again for the rest of the year because nobody came out to challenge them. Watase wants to spread the word out that they will defend the titles against anybody no matter what kind of wrestling they represent.

Kouki Iwasaki received more than just a bouquet for his 10th Anniversary Match. Katsumura also gave him a gift of diapers to celebrate the recent birth of Iwasaki’s second child. Iwasaki thanked everyone involved in the match as well as GanPro’s fans and management. He’s going to work harder than ever for his family and will look forward to his 15th and 20th anniversaries. He also said backstage that simply wrestling in GanPro is meaningless so if he comes back here next year he wants to fight for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title.

The FREEDOMS rivalry between F-SWAG and Munetatsu Nakamura led to Yuya Susumu coming over today for a match with Nakamura. The reigning King Of FREEDOM World Junior Heavyweight Champion won the match and flaunted his belt in front of Katsumura afterwards. He also tried to shake Nakamura’s hand after the match but was rejected. Nakamura has made it his goal to win that title from Susumu whether it happens in GanPro or in FREEDOMS.
