The final BASARA show of 2022 was produced by Fuminori Abe because it was his last show under contract with the company before he goes freelance next year. The main event was a Battle Royal to grant the winner naming rights for Fuminori Abe II. The match had to be restarted several times because everybody kept immediately knocking each other out of the ring, leaving Abe on his own as the supposed winner. Even when the Battle Royal had a proper finish it was still Abe who won it. So he now gets to be his own successor.

Another one of his ideas was a match that pitted Christmas-gun against Buddhist-gun in a religious battle. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT & Yasu Urano represented the spirit of Christmas while Abe led Takumi Tsukamoto & Banana Senga into a fight with peaceful intentions. At one point Hiroshi sang Christmas songs to psychologically damage Abe. IT stopped when Abe figured out chanting Buddhist prayers had the same effect on Hiroshi. The two eventually knocked each other out ending the match in a draw. Not that the result matters. BASARA made sure to tell everyone afterwards the match was fictional, just in case anyone found it sacrilegious.

6. Kumamoto Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida when Oishi pinned Ishida after the Cactus Flower (20:36).

Yuki Ishida’s homecoming show was spoiled by Ω. Ishida got to speak on the microphone at the beginning of the show. The end of the show however had Makoto Oishi standing over him throwing insults in front of everyone. Yuji Hino also announced Ω will be producing his 20th Anniversary show in Kumamoto on 20th July next year. DDT will be back there before then in May so Ishida promises to become stronger in time for that.

The big news coming out of this show came from backstage comments made by Sanshiro Takagi & Akito about Atsushi Onita’s upcoming appearance on 7th January. All of a sudden they accused Onita of monopolizing the Current Blast Death Match gimmick! They fear that style of wrestling will die out when Onita is finally gone and called it a negative on the pro wrestling world. Takagi & Akito challenged him to put his trademark for the stipulation on the line in a 6-Man Tag Death Match. Soma Takao will be the third man on the DDT team, putting the three company president wrestlers together to take the trademark away from Onita by force. They claim it will be better if DDT gets control of the trademark so they can spread exploding death matches across the world.

Takeshi Masada still has a lot to learn, like don’t trust anybody while you are wrestling. He almost had Yusuke Okada beaten when Takagi suddenly told him he passed his test and can now go to the DDT show in Hollywood next year. Masada believed him and dropped his guard. Takagi then kicked him in the gut and gave him a Stunner so Okada could roll him up into a pin. Masada said he will remember this and swore revenge on Takagi.

Akito’s team winning today against Pheromones means that his requested stipulation is now added to their match on 29th December. That stipulation is Pheromones must disband if they lose that match.
