2022 Ganbare Pro-Wrestling event
Wrestle Sekigahara was a professional wrestling event promoted by CyberFight's sub-brand Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling (GanPro). It took place on July 10, 2022, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Ota City General Gymnasium. The event aired live on CyberAgent's streaming service Wrestle Universe. This was the first event held by GanPro in this arena and it is regarded as being the largest event produced by the brand as of date.
Production.
Background.
Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling (GanPro) was founded in 2013 by Ken Ohka as a sub-brand of DDT Pro-Wrestling. In 2020, when DDT and Pro Wrestling Noah merged into CyberFight, GanPro and DDT's "joshi" sub-brand TJPW began being promoted as sister promotions under the CyberFight umbrella.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, audiences at pro-wrestling shows had been asked to refrain from emitting vocal noises and limit their interactions to applause. In July 2022, during a press conference, CyberFight announced that those restrictions would be lifted starting with the TJPW event Summer Sun Princess 2022 on July 9.
Storylines.
The event featured eight professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On July 5, GanPro announced the signing of a new female talent, the identity of which will be revealed at the event.
