6. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Fuminori Abe by Knockout with the Isamiashi Zan (19:27).
*V3 for Isami Kodaka.
Fuminori Abe’s attempt to win back the Union MAX Title failed after he lost to Isami Kodaka by Knockout. The two pulled no punches against each other, ending with Kodaka cutting down the challenger with the Isamiashi Zan. Abe was given a 10 count to return to his feet and he almost made it. By 9 he was propping himself back up to a standing position by using the ropes but he collapsed and the referee made it to 10 to end the match. Kodaka celebrated the win with the rest of Sento Minzoku and spent his victory speech saying how great pro wrestling is. He also told Abe that the next time they fight each other he is going to beat him by pinfall.
Abe got to give a speech too and talked about his last five years wrestling under the BASARA banner. He does not know how much longer his career is going to last but he will dedicate what’s left of it to the development of independent wrestling, BASARA included. He explained himself further after the show by revealing his contract with BASARA is ending on 31st December and he made the decision to go freelance in 2023. He joked about going to WWE but in reality nothing is changing. Abe will continue to appear at BASARA on a regular basis on the same kind of deal Minoru Fujita and Yasu Urano are doing. The indies have helped Abe and nurtured him throughout his life so this is how he is going to pay it back. That’s why he kept this announcement for after the show instead of saying it in the ring.
In 2016 Takumi Tsukamoto won the first ever IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT with Isami Kodaka but there IRON FIST Tag Titles did not exist yet. So it wasn’t until today that Tsukamoto finally won the titles with Urano as his partner. He thinks the belts were made for him because they feature a moon design on one of the plates and he has a moon on his ring gear. Aijin Tag are depressed to lose the titles this quickly after dedicating so much of their year trying to win them.
Ryuichi Sekine is happy to be back in pro wrestling even though he lost his return match. He spent his time away from the ring as a farmer and plans to continue doing that career along with pro wrestling from now on. Sekine will come back for more matches but has not decided when they will happen next.
