Ganbare Pro ran a small house show event today, representing the final build to their next event and the next Spirit of Ganbare World Openweight Championship match.
Today’s event was held at Oji Basement MON*STAR in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 84, a legit sellout. Remember it’s a VERY SMALL venue.
Match 1: Yumehito Imanari beat Yuki Kanzaki.
Match 2: Tyson Maeguchi beat Mizuki Watase by KO.
Match 3: In a Secret Captains Fall Elimination Match with over the top rope rules, where the match ended immediately when/if a captain was eliminated, Shinichiro Tominaga, HARUKAZE, Yuna Mizumori & Yoshiko Hasegawa beat Takao Soma, Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & YuuRI. The captains were Tominaga & YuuRI. Order of elimination: Hasegawa by Manase, Haruhi by Tominaga, Soma by Tominaga, HARUKAZE by Manase, Mizumori by Manase, YuuRI by Tominaga. Because YuuRI was the captain, her team loses even though Manase was never eliminated.
Match 4: Keisuke Ishii beat Ken Ohka.
Main Event: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takaaki Iwasaki beat Hartley Jackson & Seiya Morohashi. Katsumura beat Morohashi with Triple 3 Lock.
The next event is 11/3 at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama with Jackson-Katsumura for the Spirit of Ganbare World Openweight Championship and Iwasaki’s final match in the promotion (expiring contract). Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 11/2 at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT.
