Ganbare Pro has their monthly event coming up today, which is a major event with 3 big matches. The highlight of the non-title matches is the return of Yuna Manase, who has been out since early last year due to injury. She stepped down as the GM of Ganbare Women ahead of her in-ring return. The 2 title matches start with a Pro Wrestling EVE (England) title match as EVE International Champion Yuu defends against Yoshiko Hasegawa, then in the main event Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion Shuichiro Katsumura defends against Takuya Wada.
Today’s event will be held at Yokohama Raidant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will likely be no commentary. There will be an intermission after the 4th match. That will extend the 6-match event by about 15-20 minutes so the running time will probably be a little over 2 1/2 hours. Also, this event will be happening at the same time as a Pro Wrestling NOAH event that is live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE so there may be delays in the posting of results.
Today’s lineup:
Shota vs. Munetatsu Nakamura
YuuRI & Riara vs. HARUKAZE & Bunny OIkawa
Ken Ohka, Mizuki Watase & Tyson Maeguchi vs. Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shinichiro Tominaga
Pro Wrestling EVE International Champion Yuu vs. Yoshiko Hasegawa for the title
Intermission
Yuna Manase & Yumehito Imanari vs. Sayaka Unagi & Minoru Fujita

The next event is a Ganbare Women event on 3/9 followed by the next Ganbare event on 3/20, both at Takashimadaira Community Center in Tokyo. This may be the last Ganbare Women event in the current format due to several wrestlers leaving the promotion next month and Ganbare also separating from ownership of DDT & CyberFIght Corporation to become an independent promotion. However, the promotion’s events will continue to be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. For the next 2 events, broadcast plans TBA.
