Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023

May 15, 2023

The 8th annual Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament is going to be the main focus for BASARA during the summer. This year uses the familiar format of a 16-man single eliminaion bracket. Every match will have a 30 minute time limit except for the final, which has no time limit. A draw of any kind will eliminate both wrestlers from the tournament. An odd bit of scheduling this year is half of the 2nd Round will take place on the same day the 2nd Half of Round 1 is completed. The complete 2nd Round schedule has not been finalized yet for this reason. It will have to be sorted out depending on which wrestlers are available to wrestle on 3rd June and which are available for 17th June. This year’s contestants are:

Isami Kodaka (8th Appearance, 2019 Winner)
Takumi Tsukamoto (8th Appearance)
FUMA (8th Appearance)
Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (7th Appearance, 2016 Winner)

DDT “KING OF DDT 2023 2ND ROUND” Results

May 7, 2023

DDT “KING OF DDT 2023 2ND ROUND”, 07/05/2023
Shinjuku FACE
206 Fans

0. Dark Match: Yuni & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi when Ishida pinned Sumi with the Flame Palm (6:58).
1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Akito & Antonio Honda by TKO when Iino used the Sleeper From A Wise Reincarnated Man on Honda (6:38).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON defeated Shunma Katsumata, Toy Kojima & Takeshi Masada when KANON pinned Masada with the Sleepy Hollow (9:00).
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yusuke Okada defeated HARASHIMA, Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sakaguchi pinned Hirata with the PK (14:14).
4. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 2: Yuki Ueno defeated Kotaro Suzuki with the WR (12:59).
5. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 2: Jun Akiyama defeated MAO with the Sterness Dust (10:19).
6. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 2: Chris Brookes defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Praying Mantis Bomb (12:04).
7. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 2: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Hideki Okatani with the Brain Claw Slam (16:04).

Former allies in Eruption crossed paths in the King Of DDT 2nd Round. Last year’s winner Kazusada Higuchi fought Hideki Okatani, the youngster who was all set to blaze through the tournament and make a name for himself. Okatani threw his best shot and did get to leave a mark on his opponent but Higuchi stood tall in the end and beat him with the Brain Claw Slam. It wasn’t all bad news for Okatani though. Shunma Katsumata approached him backstage after the main event offering him a DDT Extreme Title shot. Okatani eliminated him in Round 1 so Katsumata wants to settle that score, putting his title on the line in order to do so. Okatani accepted and Katsumata promised to come up with a stipulation that will show off more of Okatani to the fans.

Chris Brookes somehow got a hold of Mecha Mummy’s fist and brought it into his match against Sanshiro Takagi. However a misfired attack knocked out Yukinori Matsui by accident. This also happened after Brookes accidentally took out Daisuke Kiso with a missed RKO. With no more referees in sight Brookes and Takagi fought out of the ring and around the room. Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream bike but Brookes smashed a plastic box over his head and then threw him into a castle of chairs. Back in the ring both Masahiro Takanashi and Drew Parker interfered to help Brookes out. Takagi fought on but a combination of being put through a table and having more plastic boxes smashed over his head became overwhelming. With nothing left to give, he was pinned with the Praying Mantis Bomb. Backstage Takagi said when he first met Brookes in Japan he thought he had the potential to become the top wrestler in DDT. Today he is convinced Brookes will reach that level.

One thing you should know by now is you should never count out Jun Akiyama in any competition. He reaches the final four by defeating MAO in today’s bout. It took quite a bit to get that result though. The Exploder Suplex and a bare Knee Strike wasn’t enough to put MAO away. Instead Akiyama had to pull out the old Sterness Dust to get his hand raised in the end. MAO didn’t think the match was going to be so close. He went into today with an empty head and came out of the match with a little bit of Akiyama knowledge filling it up. He’ll be going to wrestle in America again soon so he plans to push himself while still wrestling at his own pace.

In a battle of skill, Yuki Ueno came out on top against Kotaro Suzuki. The Endless Waltz couldn’t dizzy Ueno enough to keep him pinned and he also kicked out of a Tombstone. Suzuki then went for the Blue Destiny but Ueno got out of the move and twisted Suzuki into the WR to win the match. Suzuki refuses to let his time in DDT end like this and wants a rematch with Ueno to get revenge.

A lottery was held after the main event to pair off the semi-finals on 21st May. Ueno will face Higuchi and Brookes has to take on Akiyama. Ueno thinks it’s all well and good to see Higuchi shave his head and act like he has given himself a fresh start. But Ueno thinks he himself has been developing too. Higuchi is not giving the final a single thought until he beats Ueno first. Brookes knows he has to go on and win King Of DDT after both HARASHIMA and Takagi have given him their support. If he can beat those two then he can beat Akiyama! But Akiyama has been doing this for decades. Fighting Brookes in a singles match is going to be a new experience for him.

Kazuki Hirata wanted to cheer up and motivate his friend HARASHIMA during their match. He decided the two of them dancing together would be the best way to achieve that. Unfortunately their dance got cut off by the other team and Hirata wound up getting destroyed by Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Sakaguchi, losing the match for his side.

Shunma Katsumata tried to replicate Komander’s tight rope walk into a dive during his match. It ended poorly and Katsumata crotched himself on the rope.

The first appearance of Yuki Iino since his failure to win the KO-D Openweight Title showed him in a crazy state that even has Danshoku Dieno worried. This was a different kind of “Sexy” than everyone is used to seeing. First Iino ran across the entrance way wearing what can be best described as half a speedo. Then when he reappeared for the actual team entrance, Hisaya Imabayashi stopped Pheromones and convinced Dieno to get Iino back into his proper wrestling costume. The match went ahead with Dieno, Akito and Antonio Honda all trying to stop Iino from stripping naked. Honda got Iino to calm down with a lewd Gongitsune joke. In return the now relaxed and enlightened Iino sent both Akito & Honda to sleep with a Sleeper Hold to win the match. Dieno promised the fans that Iino will return to his normal “Sexy” self the next time we see him.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2023 1ST ROUND” Results

May 6, 2023

DDT “KING OF DDT 2023 1ST ROUND”, 06/05/2023
Shinjuku FACE
234 Fans

1. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yusuke Okada by TKO with a Headbutt (9:11).
2. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Hideki Okatani defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Double Arm Suplex (8:50)
3. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi with the Texas Clothesline (3:40).
4. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA with two Praying Mantis Bombs (12:08).
5. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Jun Akiyama defeate Tetsuya Endo with a Torture Rack Turn Back (10:12).
6. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: MAO defeated Takeshi Masada with the Senpukyaku (9:28).
7. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Kotaro Suzuki defeated KANON with an Inside Cradle 8:43).
8. King Of DDT 2023 – Round 1: Yuki Ueno defeated Naruki Doi with the WR (16:19).

Some eye catching results can be found among the first round matches in this year’s King Of DDT tournament. Naruki Doi’s decision to stick around in DDT to claim more prizes hit a wall when Yuki Ueno defeated him in the main event. Ueno jumped over the Bakatare Sliding Kick and landed with a Double Knee Drop onto Doi. However he missed the BME and Doi hit his next attempt at the Sliding Kick, this time aiming for the back of the head. Doi wanted to finish him off with the Muscular Bomb but Ueno countered it into a Cradle for a nearfall and then got the WR to get the win. The result is revenge for Doi taking the DDT Universal Title from Ueno earlier this year. Ueno again told the fans he is going to carry DDT on his back and he wants the audience to give him all of the power of their support.

KANON was left stunned over how he lost to Kotaro Suzuki. He gave him the Sleepy Hollow but Suzuki immediately cradled his shoulders onto the mat and scored the three count from out of nowhere. It left KANON is dispair because he is back to the bottom with no championships again. Suzuki wanted KANON to know that just because you hit your finishing move does not mean you drop your guard in the last second. Suzuki now moves on to face Ueno tomorrow and it’s a match he’s been really looking forward to since he came to DDT

The martial arts background of Takeshi Masada inspired MAO to go barefoot for their match that consisted almost entirely of strike moves. MAO won out by using the Senpukyaku whirlwind kick to sweep away Masada’s Triangle Kick. He praised Masada afterwards, saying it is guys like him who make DDT interesting. It makes MAO make changes to his gameplan, such as to wrestle barefoot like he did here. It makes MAO enjoy himself in the ring more. Masada however is now feeling confused over where he stands compared to the other young wrestlers on the roster. Is he on the right path by having a different wrestling style than the others or has he become lazy?

The DDT Universal Champion is out in the first round but when it’s from losing to Jun Akiyama can you call it an upset? Maybe it is when it’s Tetsuya Endo who is meant to be the leader of BURNING, not Akiyama. Endo was on track to winning when he gave Akiyama the Exploder Suplex three times in a row. But when he lifted him up into the Torture Rack, Akiyama rolled him over and pinned his shoulders to the mat. Well at least he can focus on that mystery former WWE wrestler now. Akiyama now has to deal with MAO in Round 2 tomorrow.

It took two Praying Mantis Bombs to get here but Chris Brookes scored a huge win against HARASHIMA, eliminating one of DDT’s most distinguished wrestlers in the 1st Round. By beating “Mr. DDT”, Brookes is now certain he is going to win the rest of the tournament. HARASHIMA is not left wondering if he is no longer as strong enough any more. It isn’t a thought he gets that often. But since Brookes beat him, he now supports Brookes to go all the way and win King Of DDT.

After five years away from King Of DDT, Sanshiro Takagi returned to the tournament with a vengeance. He defeated Yukio Sakaguchi in under 4 minutes but that result came from both men looking to win as soon as possible. Takagi’s used of the Stunner and then bringing back the Texas Clothesline gave him the victory. He admits if the match lasted even a minute longer he would have lost. He takes on Brookes in Round 2 and now has the time to figure out what he is weakest at.

Hideki Okatani took a longer path to enter the tournament than everyone else and he wasn’t going to do all that just to get eliminated in Round 1. He pulled off an upset by pinning Shunma Katsumata clean with the Double Arm Suplex. Okatani even called Katsumata pathetic because a double champion shouldn’t be losing in Round 1!

The day kicked off with Kazusada Higuchi entering the room with a newly shaved head ready to fight Yusuke Okada. Power versus speed was the name of the game here and power won out. Okada was pretty much on his last legs when he had the idea to Headbutt his opponent for one last desperate attack. When that didn’t work Higuchi returned the favour with his own Headbutt, knocking out Okada and ending the match. Higuchi praised Okada for showing passion in the ring. But he has nothing to say about his next opponent Okatani other than he is going to crush him tomorrow.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME” Results

April 29, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME”, 29/04/2023
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
273 Fans

-. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara by Forfeit.
1. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Maki Itoh, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Aino pinned Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (9:25).
2. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Mizuki, Yuka Sakazaki & Shino Suzuki when Tatsumi pinned Suzuki with the Twist Of Fate (10:22).
3. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga when Misao pinned Toga with the Hypami Returns (?:??).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Wakana Uehara with the Blizzard Suplex (5:27).
5. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow (9:31).
6. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with an Inverted Hurricanrana (7:32).
7. Sawyer Wreck defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Choke Slam (6:20).
8. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (15:05).

The “Love Triangle” of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku showed off the strength of their bond by winning today’s trios tournament! Aino’s use of the Venus DDT got them past the opening round. Raku’s pillow was a key item in winning the semi-final because it was used to block Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Then came the final where the spotlight was put on Pom Harajuku. Aino got rid of Shoko Nakajima with the Venus DDT, Raku used the Doctor Yellow on Hyper Misao and it all led to Harajuku pinning Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. It was the biggest win in Harajuku’s career. She promised not to cry during their victory speech but did so anyway.

Meanwhile the other team in the final called themselves Kyoraku Torimei but Misao thinks it may have been a mistake to use that name. Both Nakajima & Misao agreed it was time to disband the trio with Toribami but insist it is not Toribami’s fault. They praised her for showing guts and tenacity today but feel it is time for them to flap their wings towards their own bright futures.

The American death match wrestler Sawyer Wreck won her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut against Moka Miyamoto by throwing and slamming her around the ring. Backstage Wreck said she always dances with death and she will show her love of violence in the Lighttube Death Match against Hikari Noa on Monday. Wreck also took part in the Princess Of Princess Title contract signing with Mizuki that was held after the show. She asked if lighttubes would also be allowed in that match too? Mizuki said she will do her best because she thinks Wreck is underestimating her.

Tatsumi and Suzume also took part in the signing ceremony for their International Princess Title match. Suzume spoke about how much she admires Tatsumi. It was enough to make her become a pro wrestler without any experience in martial arts or entertainment. Tatsumi wants to defend her title 100 times. She is not taking this reign for granted so there is no room for her to make any mistakes again. She also thinks Suzume was knocking on the forbidden gate when she choked her in their last match together. Suzume does not believe she is stronger than Tatsumi but she proved in last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup she can beat her.

9. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yuki “Not Sexy” Iino

MAO believes he has spoken no lies in his war of words with Endo. He gets frustrated whenever he sees Endo carrying the DDT Universal Title because he thinks he is more worthy of being the champion. Endo can see some of the points MAO has made over the last few weeks but does not understand why MAO thinks he is a better fit to be Universal Champion. He thinks the only way MAO can prove his point is if he beats him for the title.

Shunma Katsumata has already received a lot of toys from DDT fans to use in the TLC Match, including a box of Beyblades from the GM Hisaya Imabayashi.

The arrival of Rayne Leverkusen in DDT has Saki Akai feeling a little confused over what her opponent’s goal is. She understands her situation of trying to make your own path while being related to a famous celebrity but other than that she does not know what legacy Leverkusen will leave behind in DDT once she goes home. Leverkusen’s response is she is very passionate about pro wrestling and quit her job to do this tour of Japan and make a name for herself. Her wrestling career isn’t even two years old yet but she already holds three different championships. She brought up that if Akai beats her then she will have to defend one of those titles against her in a rematch.

The first two matches on the main card have been changed a little bit because of Keigo Nakamura’s injury. Yuya Koroku is moving down a match to take Nakamura’s place in the opener. Koroku’s original spot is now being taken by Diego! He is already in Japan and was invited to a recent DDT show by Katsumata. It will be his first match for DDT in almost six years!

During a press conference Chiitan used a baseball bat to destroy an 18-liter can to show its intention to beat Chris Brookes. Suddenly Brookes entered the room and attacked the mascot along with Akito. Brookes put Akito through a table with a Piledriver but Chiitan fought him off with the Shining Wizard and Tornado DDT. Akito was able to get back up and keep the two apart.

Sanshiro Takagi is hoping it will be such a success that they can turn it into an annual event. He warns that the wrestlers could get so heated up during their matches that they might bring the fighting inside the building.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE” Results

March 25, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 25/03/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
81 Fans

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Half Crab Hold (7:59).
2. Rina Amikura & YuuRI defeated Moeka Haruhi & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Amikura pinned Hasegawa with a Diving Senton from the Corner Stage (10:56).
3. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii defeated Mizuki Watase, Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuki Kanzaki (16:01).
3a. Shuichiro Katsumura eliminated Shinichiro Tominaga by Ring Out (8:21).
3b. Mizuki Watase eliminated Shuichiro Katsumura by Ring Out (11:21).
3c. Keisuke Ishii eliminated Mizuki Watase by Ring Out (12:21).
3d. Yuki Kanzaki eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out (13:43).
3e. Ken Ohka eliminated Yuki Kanzaki with the Spear Of Flame (16:01).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Yumehito Imanari defeated Shota & Soma Takao when Takaiwa pinned Shota with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (17:49).

The last show on today’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleshot ended up shaping a lot of the card for Ganpro’s return to Korakuen Hall on 5th May. In the main event The All-Star Junior All-Stars defeated ROMANCE DAWN to advance to the tournament final. They will now face Hentai Punch Drunkers at Korakuen to determine the first ever Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. It left Junior Stars in a familiar position because Tatsuhito Takaiwa became the first Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion by beatin Yumehito Imanari in a tournament final a year and a half ago. They vowed to win the Tag Titles by drinking highballs together during their post-match interview.

Earlier today on Mizuki Watase’s own produce show, Keisuke Ishii pinned him clean. Then on this show Ishii eliminated Watase in the 6-Man Tag Match. This resulted in Ishii challenging Watase for the SOG Title on 5th May because he has never won a singles main event in Korakuen. Watase accepted the challenge so he can show the world not only his own strength but the greatness of Ganpro too.

Isami Kodaka was in attendance to be in Daiki Shimomura’s corner for his match against Munetatsu Nakamura. His presence attracted the attention of several Ganpro wrestlers. First, Shota asked Kodaka to be his opponent for his 15th Anniversary mach on 22nd April. Kodaka accepted and shook Shota’s hand. Seems friendly enough. Then the mood of the room changed after Shimomura beat Nakamura by submission. Nakamura refused to shake his opponent’s hand after the match and Ken Ohka spoke about his frustration over Ganpro being unable to beat any of the wrestlers from Sento Minzoku. Kodaka said he can tell Nakamura has guts but he doesn’t sense if Ohka has any. This led to a Ganpro Vs Sento Minzoku match being set up for 5th May.
