Preview: Gatoh Move ChocoPro #26 (6/23/20)

Following a long line of battles featuring Kaori Yoneyama, this upcoming episode of ChocoPro may prove to be less chaotic than shows prior. This doesn’t mean that the show will be any less eventful, as viewers will see the ChocoPro debut of another veteran. Will this name, who has been part of Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling events in the past, be able to not only pick up his first ChocoPro victory but perhaps even stand tall in the janken tournament? This, and more, will go down on this show.

Mitsuru Konno vs. Lulu Pencil

With each match, the freelance writer of Gatoh Move seems to get stronger. Last time on ChocoPro, “The Mightiest” Lulu Pencil challenged Kaori Yoneyama in the main event. Lulu Pencil gave the match everything she had, even digging down deep to pull out some effective offense. Though she gave Yoneyama a run for her money, the veteran in question managed to pick up the victory. With renewed vigor, Lulu Pencil will continue her path in ChocoPro with a match against Mitsuru Konno.

Since making her recent return to ChocoPro, the fortunes of Konno haven’t been the kindest. Whether it was against Yoneyama or Chris Brookes, just to name a few, the beer-loving “Leader” of Gatoh has been coming up short. These matches entertained viewers, to be sure, but it goes without saying that she will be looking to change her luck around. Can she do it against Lulu Pencil, who has proven that looks can be deceiving? Konno would be wise to keep her head on a swivel.

Yasu Urano (ChocoPro Debut) and Emi Sakura vs. Best Bros. (Baliyan Akki and Mei Suruga)

To say that Best Bros. have been on a roll would be an understatement. Last time on ChocoPro, Baliyan Akki and Mei Suruga were successful in their match against Mitsuru Konno and Tokiko Kirihara. They also secured victories over names such as Yuna Mizumori and Emi Sakura, which only helped their momentum. Akki and “Mei-chan” call themselves the “aces” of Gatoh Move and it isn’t without warrant. However, this match may prove to be a roadblock.

The work of Emi Sakura, in Gatoh Move and abroad, can’t be ignored. From Ice Ribbon to All Elite Wrestling, the founder of the purple-and-yellow promotion is well-traveled. Furthermore, she has been training hard as of late. On the final episode of ChocoPro for this month, she will face Yuna Mizumori in an anticipated showdown. Sakura will have to keep the “Pineapple Girl” of Gatoh Move by the wayside, however, as she goes into this match alongside a Japanese wrestling veteran.

Yasu Urano started wrestling in late 2000, wrestling for a number of promotions in Japan, Kaientai Dojo specifically. In nearly two decades, the “Philosopher in the Ring” became a prominent tag team wrestler. As a five-time KO-D Tag Team Champion, Urano is no stranger to tag team wrestling. However, with a new partner in the form of Sakura, will he be able to secure a win in his ChocoPro debut? This will be a main event not to miss.

ChocoPro #26 will air on June 23rd at 8 PM JST (7 AM ET.)

It will air live on the Gatoh Move YouTube channel for free before being available for on-demand viewing afterward. To support the company, you can sign up for their Patreon, which features multiple tiers, or their own on-demand streaming service linked below.
