The entire day of shows was built around Sento Minzoku against Aijin Tag. The entire roster were split into two sides with points awarded for winning matches. After the first show Aijin Tag were leading Sento Minzoku by two points but that just meant they were one win ahead.

Then in the second show Aijin Tag kept the lead almost the entire way through. The score was briefly tied but when it was time for the main event, Sento Minzoku was still trailing by two points. It just was not going to be their day. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura to win the IRON FIST TAG Titles and end the series as the grand winners. Nakano pinned Kodaka as well resulting in him challenging Kodaka for the Union MAX Title on 28th February. They chose that date because both Kodaka and Nakano want to be the one carrying that belt into Korakuen Hall the next day at the “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023”!

The TJPW debut of Janai Kai has her teaming with Hikari Noa.

Either Wakana Uehara or HIMAWARI will get their first singles win. Unless a draw somehow happens.

Juria Nagano will not be on the show because of a left finger injury.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED VOL. 1”, 11/02/2023

8. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya

Higuchi invited an close friend of his to join Harimao and bolster up the unit while Naomi Yoshimura is out injured. Ryota Nakatsu from BASARA was Higuchi’s rival in DNA and is more than happy to give Harimao some reinforcement. He also doesn’t want people to think he is only filling in for Yoshimura because he is a fully fledged fourth member of the stable. Meanwhile DAMNATION T.A is still working out as a focused force even with Daisuke Sasaki still missing. Just like every other show that’s being advertised since his absence, the card can change if Sasaki appears at the show and is able to wrestle.

DDT “HEAT WAVE OVER FLOWERS 2 ~THE WORLD THAT EVERYONE DOES NOT KNOW~”, 14/02/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. D GENERATIONS CUP – B Block: Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuki Ishida
2. D GENERATIONS CUP – A Block: Kazuma Sumi Vs Ilusion

6. Special Tag Match: Akito & Sakura Hirota Vs Tetsuya Endo & Kazuki Hirata
7. Final Set ~The World Unknown To The 37KAMIINA~: MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno, Toi Kojima

DDT received a message from Gorgeous Matsuno earlier today about his singles match against Yuki Ueno. Matsuno warns there is another wrestler out there who wants to fight Ueno as much as he does so Matsuno is bringing him to the show. Matsuno also wants the match to turn into a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match because of this. Ueno accepts the challenge, thinking Matsuno is so little of a threat that it may as well still be a singles match.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2023”, 18/02/2023
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP – B Block: Toi Kojima (0) Vs Takeshi Masada (0)
2. D GENERATIONS CUP – A Block: Hideki Okatani (2) Vs Yuya Koroku (0)
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamura
4. Tetsuya Endo, Kotaro Suzuki & Yusuke Okada Vs Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Kazuma Sumi
5. Nagoya Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Yukio Naya Vs HARASHIMA, Soma Takao & Shinya Ishida
6. International Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kip Sabian (w/ Penelope Ford), Chris Brookes & Hagane Shinno Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida
7. DDT Universal Title: Naruki Doi (c) Vs KANON
8. DDT Extreme Title – Master Of Environment Match: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Akito

Once again Jun Akiyama is allowing his challenger to come up with the match stipulation for a DDT Extreme Title defence. This time it is Akito as the opponent and he came up with the Master Of Environment Match. All four corner turnbuckle pads will be removed and two green straps will criss cross the ring. Akiyama and Akito will fight under normal rules with the ring in this state. The green straps do not count as rope breaks. Akito was inspired by Gaia’s fight against Sikorsky in Baki The Grappler to come up with the match idea. That fight was all about how to use the environment as a weapon and Akito thinks he has a much better chance of beating Akiyama under a similar scenario. The concept might backfire though because Akiyama himself admits he does not move a lot in his matches. The restrictions caused by the extra ropes across the ring may not even matter in the end. Akito wants to return the Extreme Title belt back to purple if he wins it but accepts that it is the champion who gets to make that decision.

Proof of DAMNATION T.A still being a well oiled machine can be seen from how KANON is dealing with Naruki Doi. KANON & MJ Paul attacked Doi backstage after his match last weekend. Today at a press conference KANON approached Doi and apologised for his behaviour. Doi wanted to make sure if the DDT Universal Title defence against KANON is only going to involve those two and no one else. That means no Sasaki and no Paul in KANON’s corner while Doi will not have Kazuki Hirata in his. Doi then hesitantly shook KANON’s hand until KANON gave him a low blow! He told Doi his title reign won’t make it past its first defence in Nagoya!

Let’s see how this AEW relationship works out. Kip Sabian makes his DDT debut and Penelope Ford is by his side for extra danger. His first match here has him teaming with both Chris Brookes & Hagane Shinno as an international trio. Shinno recently had his own little excursion in AEW over the winter.

BASARA “BASARA 211 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 24~”, 18/02/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

The new IRON FIST Tag Champions are going up against former champions in their first defence. Isami Kodaka is now a double BASARA champion and Daiki Shimomura wants to hold the tag titles long enough for the “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023”. That’s if he is chosen as BASARA’s representative of course. He may have jumped the gun on that. Aijin Tag lost the belts to the previous champions and had already planned to challenge them to a rematch. Now that Sento Minzoku have the titles, Aijin Tag had to change their target.

DDT/GCW “GCW VS DDT”, 31/03/2023
Ukrainian Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Dark Sheik Vs Saki Akai
2. Jordan Oliver & Nick Wayne Vs MAO & Mike Bailey

We have our first two matches for the GCW Vs DDT show! The Moonlight Express reunite to take on The East West Express. The show will also pit GCW’s Dark Sheik against DDT’s own Saki Akai.

A partial lineup of other wrestlers have been announced. Team DDT so far consists of Kazusada Higuchi, Jun Akiyama and Yoshihiko. The first crop of GCW wrestlers showing up are Joey Janela, Blake Christian, EFFY and Allie Katch. The last two are being advertised together as Bussy (adding that to the taglist is going to be a dangerous game) so that means we have at least one other tag match happening.

BASARA “BASARA 209 ~GLITTER~” Results

January 31, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 209 ~GLITTER~”, 31/01/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Diving Double Knee Drop (7:38).
2. Jacket 3 Way Match: FUMA and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Gouma Ryu with an Arm Lock And Camel Clutch And Sickle Lock Combination (R3 1:29).
3. Masato Kamino & Fuminori Abe defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato when Kamino pinned Kazato with the Lariat (11:31).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa when Oosugi pinned Takizawa with a Cradle (10:36).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Brain Claw Slam (17:56).
6. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano (c) when Shimomura pinned Urano with the Swanton Bomb (16:40).
*Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano fails n V1. Sento Minzoku becomes the 8th IRON FIST Tag Champions!

Isami Kodaka lived up to his word and is now the first wrestler in BASARA to hold the Union MAX Title and IRON FIST Tag Titles at the same time! Daiki Shimomura was also excited to win the Tag Titles again for a second time. Aijin Tag came out after the match to challenge Sento Minzoku to a title match. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino wanted to win the belts back from Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano but now they will have to fight the new champions instead. Nakano is hoping to win so he can bring the belt with him to the “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023” on 1st March but Kamino interrupted him before he finished saying it. The new champions accepted and Kodaka decided the match will happen at Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR on 18th February. He also wants to defend the Union MAX Title in the same month so that will likely happen on the 28th in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

The match between friends and DNA rivals Kazusada Higuchi and Ryota Nakatsu almost ended in a double knockout. Both wrestlers were down for a 9 count after Nakatsu applied a Triangle Choke and Higuchi broke free by countering it with a Power Bomb. Higuchi got the better of Nakatsu in the final exchange and pinned him with the Brain Claw Slam. After the match Higuchi said he and Yuki Ishida are unsure when Naomi Yoshimura will return to action. He asked for Nakatsu’s help and offered him a spot in Harimao. Given their history together Nakatsu was happy to accept after the other members of Sparky gave him their blessing. He also made sure to note he is joining as a new member and not as a replacement for the injured Yoshimura. Higuchi explained in an interview after the show that he wanted to add a presence not from DDT to the unit. He always thought if Harimao was going to add a fourth member it would be Nakatsu.

Yuki Kamifuku will be missing the last set of Tokyo Joshi Pro shows in January because she will be touring southeast Asia that week. She has a match at SPW in Singapore on the 27th and another match at SET-UP in Thailand on the 28th.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEYOND THE ORIGIN, TO THE FUTURE”, 30/01/2023
TwinBox AKIHABARA

1. Princess Of The Decade: X Vs X

A one night tournament is taking place in the venue where TJPW held their very first event. TwinBox AKIHABARA was where Miyu Yamashita, KANNA and Chikage Kiba had their first exhibition matches on 30th January, 2013. To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of that event, TJPW is holding the Princess Of The Decade tournament on PPV featuring 19 wrestlers from the roster taking part. It will be an empty arena show with all of the matches being held on mats instead of a wrestling ring. The winner of the tournament will receive a luxurious prize. Yuka Sakazaki, Yuki Kamifuku and Wakana Uehara will not be on the show. Sakazaki and Kamifuku are both wrestling overseas while Uehara has a scheduling conflict.

BASARA “BASARA 209 ~GLITTER~”, 31/01/2023

Isami Kodaka has his eyes set on becoming the first wrestler to hold both BASARA championships at the same time. The current Union MAX Champion beat Yasu Urano over the weekend in a successful title defence. Now that he has a win over one half of the IRON FIST Tag Champions, Kodaka is calling upon Daiki Shimomura to help him achieve his goal while Urano & Takumi Tsukamoto are up for a challenging first defence.

The next challenger for Jun Akiyama is another wrestler who has a deep bond with the DDT Extreme Title. It’s Akito! He considers the Extreme Title to be the most important championship he has ever held and is not too thrilled to see the belt strap be changed from purple to white. The match will be happening in Nagoya too which is Akito’s home region.

BASARA “BASARA 208 ~HATAAGE ANNIVERSARY~” Results

January 21, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 208 ~HATAAGE ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/01/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans

1. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken when Senga pinned Kraken with a Jackknife Pin (9:09).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Kamino pinned Hiroshi with the Lariat (10:55).
3. SAGAT 10th Anniversary Match: Hideyoshi Kamitani defeated SAGAT with a Back Drop (16:36).
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when Nakatsu pinned Sekine with the V Slider (13:18).
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Yasu Urano with the Isamiashi Zan (22:17).
*V4 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka still wants to continue wrestling Yasu Urano after defending the Union MAX Title against him. He admits Urano is not the opponent you would associate with the main event of a BASARA anniversary show but Kodaka needed to defend the MAX Title today and his senpai Urano was the name that stuck out to him most. Since Urano is one half of the IRON FIST Tag Champions Kodaka now wants to challenge him for those belts so he can become the first wrestler in BASARA to hold both of the company’s championships at the same time. Urano & Takumi Tsukamoto will defend the tag titles against Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura on 31st January.

Akiyama’s 1st TLC Match, Kotaro BURNS Again, Rhio Challenges Yamashita For EVE Title

November 30, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 03/12/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Mizuki Vs Haruna Neko
2. Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Millie McKenzie Vs Shoko Nakajima & Suzume
4. Miu Watanabe Vs Mahiro Kiryu
5. Yuki Aino & Raku Vs Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo Vs Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto

The long road to Ittenyon has begun. Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita have plenty of time and matches with each other to prepare for the Princess Of Princess Title match on 4th January.

Raku has recovered from covid and is cleared to wrestle again. She missed out on the Princess Tag Team Titles match but her team with Yuki Aino continues.

Before Millie McKenzie goes back to England she is getting another match in Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Nao Kakuta is absent again because she is back doing her stage play.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 THE FINAL”, 04/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Antonio Honda
2. Soma Takao, Hideki Okatani & Hikaru Machida Vs Yuya Koroku, Yuki Ishida & Takeshi Masada
3. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Kotaro Suzuki & Yusuke Okada Vs MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuma Sumi
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & RSP Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita, MJ Paul & KANON
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Match: Joey Janela (c) Vs Jun Akiyama
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Yukio Naya

For the first time in his illustrious career Jun Akiyama is doing a TLC Match! Joey Janela chose the stipulation on purpose for that reason. He also thinks beating Akiyama in a TLC Match will benefit GCW and their expansion into Japan. Akiyama is not familiar with the match type even after his recent appearances in America for AEW. All he knows is it sounds like the kind of match Shunma Katsumata likes to do. Akiyama agreed to do the match and promises to do it with his own style. He hears that Janela has respect for him but he does not believe it.

During the week Akiyama held an interview with Kotaro Suzuki on his Youtube channel. Suzuki revealed his contract with NOAH had just expired and he is now a free agent. Akiyama suggested he come wrestle a match for DDT. He would set everything up for him to do it. Suzuki was a member of a previous version of BURNING so it only makes sense for him to be part of their team in the match against The 37KAMIINA. The sauna boys add Toi Kojima to even the numbers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT AUTUMN ~HAMAMATSU PERFORMANCE~”, 10/12/2022
Shizuoka Entetsu Hall

1. EVE Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Rhio

Here is “The Unbreakable” Rhio making her second tour of TJPW. On the same show that Yamashita won the EVE Title at, Rhio had already thrown her name out as the next challenger for the championship. McKenzie ended up leapfrogging her for to be Yamashita’s first challenger and there won’t be another EVE show taking place until January so Rhio is taking matters into her own hands. She is going back to Japan with the goal of winning the EVE Title and bringing it back home. EVE announced that should Rhio beat Yamashita and become the new champion, Yamashita will get a rematch in London on 7th January. I assume she’ll be doing that date with or without the title anyway.

BASARA “BASARA 206 ~RYU TOKOTO~”, 11/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Atsuki Aoyagi
3. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano
4. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

Yasu Urano is having a career resurgance on the indies. He made it to the final of the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament and currently holds the main championship in JUST TAP OUT. He can add more glory by teaming with Takumi Tsukamoto and winning the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Aijin Tag. The tournament is the connecting point for everyone in the match. Masato Kamino eliminated Tsukamoto in the first round and then beat his own partner Takato Nakano in the next. Urano beat Kamino in the semi final.

The current AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is coming to BASARA. In a first time meeting Daiki Shimomura is defending home turf against Atsuki Aoyagi!

DDT “DANSHOKU DIENO 20TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK PUBLICATION COMMEMORATION”, 21/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takeshi Masada
2. Pheromones Vs “Miyako & Ward” Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Shunma Katsumata

4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

Shinya Aoki wants his match against Chihiro Hashimoto to be held under Ganryujima Rules, which means the ropes will be removed from the ring. Hashimoto is unsure to accept the condition because she has never wrestled in that kind of environment before. What she is sure about is to beat Aoki by using her German Suplex finisher, the Albright.

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~” Results

September 6, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~”, 06/09/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Goregrind (9:41).
2. Basara Strange Style Jacket 3 Way Match: Gouma defeated Ryota Nakatsu and Fuminori Abe by Double Knockout after Nakatsu and Abe knocked each other out (R3 1:26).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Swivel Zudon (13:37).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) when Nakano pinned Oosugi after the Combined Swan Dive Body Scissors Drop (14:43).
*Speed Of Sounds fails in V7. Aijin Tag becomes the 6th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Isamiashi Zan (20:03).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

The Union MAX Title was on the line between two members of Sento Minzoku. The figurehead of the unit Isami Kodaka blocked Daiki Shimomura’s Swanton Bomb with his knees, cutting off the challenger’s best chance at winning the match. Shimomura still kept fighting and gave a final roar before Kodaka put a stop to him with the Isamiashi Zan. The two of them were joined by Minoru Fujita after the match, marking the first time in a while all active members of Sento Minzoku were in the ring together. They wished the fans “Peace & Fuck” to end the show.

Aijin Tag have finally beaten Speed Of Sounds to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles! They came up with a new double team move to do it too. Masato Kamino lifted Tsutomu Oosugi up for a Power Bomb and Takato Nakano flew into him with a Swan Dive Lou Thesz Press. Banana Senga told the new champions he is looking forward to seeing them defend the belts. He also told them not to lose the titles until SOS challenge them for the rematch.

Daichi Kazato approached Aijin Tag after the show asking for a title shot on 24th September. He implied he wanted to fight both of them on his own. They will accept the challenge if Kazato can find a tag partner in time.

The rankings for BASARA’s Jacket matches have gone topsy turvy over today’s result. It was a 3 Way match between Ryota Nakatsu, Fuminori Abe and Gouma. Nakatsu and Abe ended up knocking each other out while fighting over money that Gouma threw at them so Gouma was declared the winner. Gouma moved all the way from 15th to 1st in the rankings because of the win. Nakatsu dropped from 1st down to 2nd and Abe went from 4th to 5th.

The Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament returns in October. The opening show will be held on 11th October and more details will be revealed at a later date.

Cheering, hanging up banners and throwing streamers were all allowed on today’s show.

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~”, 06/09/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
2. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

Last week Isami Kodaka defended the Union MAX Title against Gunso at the annual BASARA/Dove Pro summer meet. With that out of the way, Kodaka accepted Daiki Shimomura’s challenge for the next title shot.

Speed Of Sounds already defended the IRON FIST Tag Titles against Aijin Tag back in April. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino are nothing if not persistent though. They keep wanting as many chances to beat SOS as they can to finally win the belts. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga admire their determination and do like wrestling them so another title match is going ahead.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2022”, 25/09/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Osamu Nishimura & Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs Akito & Yukio Naya
2. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Cara Noir
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

We’re getting a legislator tag team of Osamu Nishimura & Shinichiro Kawamatsu! Ota Ward was host to Kawamatsu’s debut match so it’s only fair for he and Nishimura to step into the ring again over at Nishimura’s home of Bunkyo Ward. That means they’re heading to Korakuen Hall together. Akito & Yukio Naya were chosen to be their opponents.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2022”, 12/10/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ishida 1st Anniversary Match ~ Playfulness Series Act 4: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Yuki Ishida

Makoto Oishi’s 20th Anniversary is a great time to revive Men’s Club! He’s bringing in MEN’S Teioh & Shiori Asahi to take on the new generation represented by The 37KAMIINA.

Yuki Ishida is not getting a similar amount of pomp and circumstance for his one year anniversary. He’s getting a first time singles match against Danshoku Dieno.
