Ganbare Pro ran their first post-CyberFight Festival event today, finishing a very quick build to their next major event in July.
Today’s event was held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 112.
During the opening, fans were encouraged to bring their voices to the next event in July, where at both Ganbare and Tokyo Joshi Pro fans will be allowed to cheer vocally, throw ticker tape/streamers and post support banners for the first time since the pandemic began. Masks are still required for fans and capacity at the venue will be limited to 50% (that will mean max crowds of around 1500).
Match 1: Kouki Iwasaki beat Tatsuya Matsubo by submission.
Match 2: Mizuki Watase, Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE beat Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuna Manase & YuuRI. Haruhi pinned YuuRI after 79.5MHz.
Match 3: Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Shigehiro Irie beat Grief & Taison Maeguchi. Takaiwa pinned Maeguchi after Death Valley Bomb.
Match 4: Keisuke Ishii & Nobuhiro Shimatani beat Isami Kitaka & Daiki Shimomura. Ishii pinned Shimomura after Nail Kick.
Main Event: Ken Ohka, Masa Takanashi & Chris Brookes beat Yumehito Imanari, Shota & Takao Soma. Ohka pinned Imanari after Flame Spear.
The next event is 7/10 at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo, headlined by Imanari-Ohka for the Spirit of Ganbare Openweight Championship. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 7/9 at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET.
On a side note, if you subscribe to or renew your WRESTLE UNIVERSE subscription today, the monthly fee absolutely tanked for the coming month. I just got my renewal notice and this month’s current fee is $6.66 US. That is down by at least 40 cents from last month and is a new low since I have been a subscriber. For New Japan World subscribers, that will put the coming month’s renewal later this week around $7.50 US. BARGAINS!
