No Repeat Rule, Takeshita And Chihiro Back Against Each Other, VENYU Finale

August 28, 2026

DDT “LAST SUMMER STANDING ~SUMMER’S RECKONING~”, 30/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
1. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi & Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama & Fuminori Abe
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
4. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title ~ A One Time Trump Card -NO REPEAT RULE-: Shunma Katsumata (c/c) Vs Kumadori
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato

The stakes for the match between Shunma Katsumata and Kumadori have suddenly grown higher. Katsumata recently won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so he now has to defend that belt alongside the DDT Extreme Title. He also decided on the match stipulation where he and Kumadori are not allowed to repeat their moves. The match can be won either under normal circumstances, by throwing your opponent over the top rope out of the ring or if they get disqualified for doing the same move twice. However striking moves are generic enough to not count towards the stipulation so Kumadori can at least rely on punching and kicking to make up for his limited moveset.

The Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders going into this weekend’s show are Chris Brookes (Red) and Antonio Honda (Purple AAAA).

6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated CIMA with the Back Drop Hold (18:05).

Some little known history between Yuji Nagata and CIMA was revisited for the main event of the latest Super Japan show. When CIMA was only two months into his pro wrestling career he apparently had a WCW match with Nagata inside the Universal Studios that held tapings at the time. He stuck around for a while to be Nagata’s weight training partner until their paths split off. Today, 19 years later they had their rematch. Nagata entered the ring with the amateur parody wrestler Ujikoji Nagata alongside him but the match with CIMA was played completely straight. CIMA targeted Nagata’s left leg before moving up to his big moves but Nagata kicked out of the Swan Dive Meteroa. In return, Nagata gave CIMA an Exploder Suplex, a Running Knee Strike and then the Back Drop Hold to get the pinfall.

Nagata said CIMA is completely different from how he was 29 years ago and he now understands how many tough battles he has gone through. CIMA pointed out that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down soon but his battle with Nagata is not over. He wants to have another rematch in 30 years time when he is 79 and Nagata will be 88! After CIMA left the ring, Nagata wanted to talk to someone else so he called for Satoshi Kojima to come face him. Nagata then revealed that his contract with New Japan was supposed to end in 2024 which is why Sanshiro Takagi chose him to be the ace of Super Japan. Plans changed and New Japan extended his deal but Nagata is still proud of the work he is doing here. He doesn’t appreciate Kojima suddenly popping up in Super Japan and be paid for acting like he can do whatever he wants! Kojima said ever since 2013 he’s been constantly DM’ing Takagi about working with him for whatever ideas they can come up with so he hasn’t come to Super Japan for the money. Takagi and Masayuki Uchida both stepped in to tell Nagata and Kojima they should wrestle each other at the next Super Japan show scheduled for Shinjuku FACE on 28th September, two days before the venue closes down for good. Uchida in particular loves the idea and thinks it is a match that can only happen in Super Japan. Takagi is even going far enough to call it a battle between Super Japan and New Japan!

Maybe Nagata had a point about Kojima not taking Super Japan seriously because Kojima showed up for his match acting like one of The Brahman Brothers! He appeared in full Brahman gear and that included a large patch stuck over his head to make his hair resemble a skullet. It appeared that Brahman Koji was brainwashed into acting this way and he joined along with the usual messy Brahman spots. He even drooled out orange coloured goo from his mouth after he took damage from Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe. Kojima finally snapped out of it when Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei both accidentally threw powder into his face. Next thing they knew, Kojima was knocking them down with Lariats and allowing Sanshiro Takagi to give them Stunners before stacking them up for the victory. The Brahmans had lost Brahman Koji today but they can just go find another new member to join them and make summer memories together.

Somehow Ken Ohka got busted open really heavily at the start of his match after Hayabusa got him with a Topé Con Hilo. While Ohka showed some fighting spirit by continuing on, he eventually fell to Hayabusa’s Firebird Splash. Hayabusa had heard about Ohka’s request to fight him so he asked him how he felt after the match? Ohka said he will be turning 49 this year. He ran away from a wrestling dojo in his mid-twenties but he was eventually forgiven and he worked hard to establish Ganbare☆Pro. He has proved that despite having negative experiences, a 49 year old like him can still get married and have three kids by working hard. So if Hayabusa also has a dream then he shouldn’t give up either.

There is a follow up to Kota Ibushi’s sudden appearance at the previous Super Japan show but it is going in a completely different direction. Mac Matsushita lost his fight against Thanomsak Toba but later joined up with him, Ibushi and Tyson Maeguchi backstage to announced that Matsushita has now joined the Ibushi Wrestling Institute! Takagi gave his endorsement to the move meaning that Matsushita is now no longer exclusive to just wrestling on Super Japan shows.

The return of the Unpaid Rumble had a few actual professional wrestlers sneaking into it. Takagi and Shota were already advertised for it pretty much to oversee all of the amateur and parody gimmicks filling up the ring. However Mio Shirai appeared as one of the early entrants and the biggest surprise of all was Daisuke Sekimoto showing up to clear out whoever was left and then win the whole thing! Unfortunately he didn’t realise until afterwards that entries for the match was on a volunteer only basis so he wasn’t going to be paid for anything. His prize for winning is an offer to participate in future Super Japan shows also for free. Sekimoto said he will consider it.

April 7, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 29: TONIC IMMOBILITY”, 07/04/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes & Chie Koishikawa defeated “Princess Ram” (Dark King Ueki) & “Munek” (Princess Ram) (w/ “Dark King Ueki” (Munek)) when Koishikawa submitted Ram with an Octopus Hold (12:48).
2. Noise Prevention Silence Death Match: Baliyan Akki defeated Mr. Malo when Malo sneezed (9:01).
3. Yuya Aoki & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Yuya MAOki & Daisuke Sekifuda when Sekimoto pinned Sekifuda with a Lariat (13:20).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) defeated Antonio Honda with a Backslide Pin (19:40).
*V1 for Mr. Bueno.

It was back to business as usual for Baka Gaijin + Friends after playing hosts to Mystery Wrestling last month. Although for this show we had a championship challenge laid out in advance. Antonio Honda had confronted Mr. Bueno in the outside world a couple of weeks ago to ask for a shot at the BK-G Openweight Title. When the going got tough for Bueno, he “tagged in” Mr. Malo to help him fight Honda. Malo got away with it by throwing his poncho over Daisuke Kiso’s head so he wouldn’t see anything. Honda then injured his knee but as he tried to tell his Gongitsune joke, Bueno showed good sportsmanship by wrapping tape around the injured knee. He then realized Honda’s injury was something he could target so he focused his attacks there. Honda fought back by choking Bueno with the tape and then using it to tie them together like it was a strap match. It backfired when he ended up tangling his hands together while doing the Bionic Elbow. Bueno blocked the Gongitsune joke because he doesn’t understand Japanese and he ended up countering another Bionic Elbow into a Backslide Pin to win the match. After the match Baliyan Akki walked out and challenged Bueno for the title at the next show on 19th May.

It turns out that Baka Gaijin has its own Strong BK division of wrestlers. MAO & Kota Sekifuda entered the room pretending to be the Big Japan pair of Yuya Aoki and Daisuke Sekimoto. Then the real Aoki and Sekimoto entered the room looking bemused at the appearance of their doppelgangers. For an added BJW bonus, Takayuki Ueki briefly joined Mr. HAKU on commentary to impersonate Hirotsugu Suyama. The real Strong BJ wrestlers showed the pretenders what they are all about but their opponents found spots to copy those movements back at them. What they couldn’t replicate was Sekimoto’s strength. He grabbed Aoki and Sekifuda together to give them a Double German Suplex before Lariating Sekifuda down to the mat for the three count.

Today was Akki’s first time meeting Mr. Malo but there was a communication issue because Malo never speaks. Akki took it upon himself to make Malo speak by force by challenging him to a Noise Prevention Silence Death Match! I either wrestler made a loud sound they would lose so both of them were very careful with how they fought each other. The action was slow and methodical in more ways than one until Kiso was knocked aside. Akki screamed at Malo while Kiso was distracted but Malo fought back by taking out his black mask an wrapping it over Akki’s face. Malo then grabbed a flower and brushed it under Akki’s nose expecting him to sneeze but nothing happened. Instead Akki grabbed the flower a few minutes later and did the same to Malo to get the intended result!

Something felt a bit off about Ueki’s Magic Kingdom in the opening match. Their opponents Chris Brookes & Chie Koishikawa had to ignore the unusual atmosphere to fight their enemies and win the match. “Munek” used a bubble wand to summon walls to throw Brookes into but still had a neck injury to worry about. Brookes & Koishikawa weren’t afraid to target that neck injury when necessary. “Princess Ram” was more focused towards acting cute than usual while “Dark King Ueki” stood on the sidelines instructing his minions. The Magic Kingdom brought out a chained swing to attach from the ceiling but Brookes ended up trapping “Munek” on it in midair, becoming completely unable to save “Ram” from giving up to Koishikawa’s Octopus Hold. Brookes at least had the right idea to lift “Munek” back down after the match.

6. Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine when Tanaka pinned FUMA with the Sliding D (15:43).

BASARA returned to the area FUMA has called home for quite a few years now. Their annual visit to Gunma pits FUMA against some big name opponents in the past and it was the same here. He & Ryuichi Sekine wore new matching gear for their tag match against the two outsiders Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto. While their teamwork took them far, including a tandem that had Sekine give Tanaka the Kamikaze after FUMA hit them with a Missile Dropkick from behind, victory escaped from their grasp. Sekimoto grabbed both Tanaka and FUMA to do a Double German Suplex and Tanaka got up first to hit FUMA with the Sliding D for the win.

Ryota Nakatsu tried to impress the locals by bringing along the three championships he currently holds (BASARA’s own Union MAX Title, the Dove Tag Title from Dove Pro and the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title from Ganbare☆Pro) but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spoiled his day by getting the pin over him!

January 21, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~9TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE~”, 21/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Shota Kawakami with a Half Crab Hold (7:29).
2. Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken defeated Yasu Urano & Banana Senga when Nakano pinned Urano with the Takagari (12:15).
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Masato Kamino defeated Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi when Nakatsu pinned Arashi with a Jackknife Pin (19:06).
4. Inaugural Rumble: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato by Ring Out (24:21).
Order Of Elimination: Gouma Ryu, Gouma Ryu, Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi, KUBITO, SAGAT, Gouma Ryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takumi Tsukamoto, FUMA and Daichi Kazato.

Look at how fast time flies. Today is BASARA’s 9th anniversary of their launch and they celebrated by holding a Rumble match with nostalgic elements included. Daichi Kazato wore the costume he wrestled in nine years ago, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi showed up as Hiroshi Fukuda again in full USA gear plus a blonde wig, FUMA started acting like a heavy metal rocker again and Gouma Ryu kept getting eliminated over and over. Ryuichi Sekine was the last man standing and he told everyone how lucky he felt today. He also felt touched fighting with FUMA again and suggested they team up more often. In fact, the two of them should go challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! FUMA was still feeling the heavy metal energy and accepted the offer. He started having second thoughts later backstage when he found out Sekine is a fake heavy metal fan but Sekine reminded him they still have a bond together because they are both farmers.

Masato Kamino wasn’t satisfied with his team winning today’s match. He and Ryota Nakatsu were able to beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi but that’s only because Arashi missed Nakatsu with the Diving Senton and was then accidentally hit by a Lariat from Sekimoto. Nakatsu ended up pinning Arashi with a Jackknife Pin. Kamino had wanted himself to get a definitive win against either opponent and that didn’t happen.

The injured Takeru Inoue was in attendance to greet the fans at the start of the show and apologize for being unable to compete today. Isami Kodaka later pointed out Inoue must have only been 10 years old when BASARA was created. Kodaka also said he wants BASARA to be more fun for the wrestlers because if they’re not enjoying it, then the fans won’t either. Looking back Kodaka said BASARA struggled to survive during the Covid-19 pandemic so the company cannot take the future for granted.

There are two strong opponents who Masato Kamino lost to in singles matches last year that he wants to fight again. They are Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi. Kamino wants to settle the score in one match so he asked BASARA to bring them back together as a tag team for him to fight. Kamino also decided he won’t team with Takato Nakano because they will soon fight each other for the Union MAX Title. Instead, Ryota Nakatsu will be Kamino’s partner for this match.

It’s Royal Rumble season so add BASARA to the growing list of companies that are doing their own version of the match this year.

DDT “NEW YEAR, NEW HERO. 2025 ~A NEW STORY BEGINS~”, 26/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. DDT Universal Title: Gringo Loco (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

According to both DDT and Gringo Loco he has defended the DDT Universal Title twice in North America. One was in Canada for Demand Lucha and I cannot for the life of me find where or when the second one took place. For his third defence he is nominating Yuki Ueno because he stands out the most to Loco. It will be Loco’s first time defending the title in Japan.

Danshoku Dieno made the decision to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Gorgeous Matsuno because he does not know if they will ever get another chance to do the match. Matsuno is still known to the public for a public divorce he went through in the 1990s where he was accused by his wife at the time of abuse. The divorce was finalised but it was also ruled by the court that there was no evidence to support the accusation. Dieno only knows Matsuno through his wrestling career and feels the need to have a heart to heart match while he still holds the Extreme Title. Dieno also wants a contract signed that says no one will be responsible for anything that happens in the ring during the match.

BASARA “BASARA 266 ~SOUEN~” Results

January 10, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 266 ~SOUEN~”, 10/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Takeru Inoue with the Gore Grind (10:13).
2. FUMA defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Jawbreaker (12:37).
3. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Minoru Fujita defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Fujita pinned Ryu after a Double Kawazu-gake Otoshi (8:51).
4. 3 Way Tag Match – No Tag Rules: Daiki Shimomura & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato Yasu Urano & Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato after a Standing Moonsault/Jackknife Pin Combo (10:04).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when Kamino pinned Nakatsu with the Lariat (15:34).

After the main event Lil’ Kraken started a rap and was about to challenge Masato Kamino for the Union MAX Title. However Takato Nakano stopped Kraken with a Dropkick and decided to challenge Kamino instead! He sees Kamino currently has three indie championships (the other two are a TTT Indie Unified Six Man Tag Team Title and the Shinjuku Nichome ILNP Title) but the MAX Title is the only one he wants. Kamino said it will be a rare match where Aijin Tag fights each other. He will crush his partner because he is creating a new era and he’s not asking Nakano to follow him.

Backstage after the show Kamino said there are two wrestlers who beat him last year that he wants to get revenge on. So on 21st January he wants a match against Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi! He’ll go through that match first and then have his title bout with Nakano on a later date.

Minoru Fujita is on a break from wrestling in BASARA but he was still called in for a Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial. Banana Senga spent more time trying to speak like Kenny Omega and also wishing Tsutomu Oosugi a happy birthday than talking about the trial. He eventually accused Fujita of fraud because BASARA was still paying him during his time off. Fujita easily defeated Senga and Gouma Ryu to convince the ref/judge he is not guilty.

After the trial Isami Kodaka announced that Sento Minzoku is splitting up! The unit is disbanding in order to let Ryuichi Sekine fight more often without them as well as to help Daiki Shimomura’s future development. He and Fujita came to the decision on the car ride home after Fujita lost the MAX Title. Their last match as a group will be on 10th February.

FUMA told Sekine after their match that he woke up today at 5am to work on his farm before coming over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING. He’s proud to be a pro wrestler and asks if Sekine feels the same? He wants the two of them as part-time farmers to continue working hard in BASARA.
