Ganbare Pro ran one of their biggest events of the year, if not their biggest, today, an event that like Tokyo Joshi Pro earlier in the day would feature vocal cheering and streamer throwing allowed for the first time in over 2 years as Japanese wrestling slowly attempts to return to normal amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
