GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIRE EMBLEM ’23” Results

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIRE EMBLEM ’23”, 02/05/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
117 Fans

0. Exhibition Match: Riara Vs Moeka Haruhi ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. Gatoh Move Offer Match: Chie Koishikawa defeated Tokiko Kirihara with a School Boy (8:54).
2. Special Single Match: Ami Manase Vs Marika Kobashi ended in a No Contest when Miyako Matsumoto interfered (6:48).
2a. Remtach: Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Alex Lee when Manase pinned Matsumoto with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:33).
3. Special Single Match: Tae Honma defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Tae Lock (13:44).
4. Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & YuuRI defeated Tomoka Inaba & HisokA when YuuRI pinned HisokA with the Swanton Bomb (18:09).

It’s still early in the Ganbare☆Joshi restart but YuuRI is already taking charge and finding outside targets to surpass. The target she has in mind is JUST TAP OUT and Tomoka Inaba in particular. Inaba was YuuRI’s senpai in JTO and last month she successfully defended the Queen Of JTO Title against her. But today YuuRI picked up the win by pinning HisokA with the Swanton Bomb.

This show is Moeka Haruhi’s last appearance in GanJo for the time being. She will be taking time off soon to donate her kidney to her sister. She was happy to end her last GanJo match with a win and promised she’ll be back to wrestle with everyone again.

Both Yoshiko Hasegawa and Tae Honma were happy to wrestle each other again. Their match was something Hasegawa had wanted to do from the moment she joined Ganbare☆Pro. Honma said she would love to come back to GanJo especially when Yuna Manase is able to wrestle again.

For the second time Miyako Matsumoto crashed the show and did so in the middle of the Ami Manase Vs Marika Kobashi match, attacking both women. She asked Michiyoshi Mishima again to be booked for GanJo and turn the match into a 3 Way. He did his best to politely turn her down. Matsumoto would not take no for an answer and revealed she brought along Bosnian wrestler Alex Lee to be her tag team partner so they could fight Manase & Kobashi in a tag match instead. The two had no choice and went ahead with the match. Manase ended up using her sister’s finishing move the Suzuki Dynamic to pin Matsumoto. However Matsumoto said she didn’t even use 1/100th of her ability. She told Mishima to book her on the next GanJo show on 17th June. If he doesn’t then she will break into his house. She already knows where he lives because they used to work together in Ice Ribbon.

Riara got to have another five minute exhibition with Haruhi before her pro debut takes place later this week. This time Riara was able to last the entire five minutes without giving up to the Half Crab Hold. Afterwards Haruhi asked if Riara showed her full strength in those five minutes. Her life is only now just beginning and she may only get one shot to win her debut match. She wants Riara to give it her all on 5th May.

More Of The Stuff I Missed

And here’s the second half covering everything else. Don’t know if I’ll be writing reports for the shows this weekend as soon as they happen. Might be better saving that for when I get home.
