Three shows from three promotions this weekend. Tokyo Joshi Pro starts it off on Saturday with Max The Impaler still around to crate some more danger.

7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi

Then on Sunday DDT welcomes back Kaisei Takeshi to the fold for his second ever wrestling match. He is fitting this in a very busy schedule that is full of different kinds of performances in different places. He is aiming for this match to surpass the shock of his debut.

BASARA “KANRA TOWN 65TH ANNIVERSARY – KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL”, 29/09/2024
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 13/10/2024
Acros Fukuoka

2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs X

The next DDT Universal Title defence after this weekend will happen on 13th October. Will Yuki Iino still be the champion or is Yukio Naya taking his spot?

The show will feature a rare Kota Umeda sighting! Just as rare is the O-40 Title being defended. Azul Dragon won the belt back in April and has defended it just once since then. I’ll have to go look where that defence happened because it wasn’t in DDT.

Shinya Aoki will be on the show.

DDT “YUKI ISHIDA TRIUMPH! GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 14/10/2024
Kumamoto L’celmo Yatsushiro

2. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata

Whether he’s champion or not, Iino will have to deal with Kazuki Hirata in Kumamoto. If Hirata still has the Right To Challenge Shield by then he could use it for a title shot. However he seems to despise being in possession of the Shield and has not shown interest in using it for a title shot of any kind.

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024”, 14/10/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Makoto & SAKI
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Yuna Manase & YuuRI

The lack of movement up the card for Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten to Yuna Manase so it’s time for a change. She wants GanJo matches to move up to the main event of Ganbare☆Pro events! She and YuuRI got themselves a big opportunity to do that by challenging Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase For the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles.

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Hartley Jackson

Yumehito Imanari blew his chance of facing Keisuke Ishii for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and ended up causing Ishii to defend the title against an even bigger challenger! Hartley Jackson is ready to remind everyone in GanPro that he is Ichiban by becoming a two-time champion.

6. FUMA Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine

For the second year in a row FUMA is bringing a BASARA show to his current home of Kanra Town in Gunma. The line-up is a little different than what BASARA usually serves up in Tokyo. Outsiders like Hideki Sekine, Yujiro Yamamoto, Shuichiro Katsumura, Ryota Hama and MAZADA are all booked up and down the card. FUMA likes to hunt so he’s going after one of the biggest beasts around in the form of Sekine.

DDT/DEFY “DDT IN UTERO”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

New wrestlers have been announced for the Seattle shows. Joining Konosuke Takeshita for the weekend are Daisuke Sasaki, Danshoku Dieno, MAO, Gringo Loco, Shota, Yuni and Yoshihiko.

BASARA “BASARA 252 ~TAKAGARI 26~” Results

July 15, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 252 ~TAKAGARI 26~”, 15/07/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Isami Kodaka & Lil’ Kraken defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Kodaka pinned Kazato with the Ikki Tousen (11:30).
2. SAGAT & Judo Master Vs Banana Senga & Karate Master ended in a Double Countout (8:36).
3. FUMA defeated Gaia Hox with an Arm Bar (11:49).
4. KUBITO, Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when KUBITO submitted Nakatsu with the Crossover Face Lock (13:26).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Modified Samson Clutch (15:59).
*V5 for Minoru Fujita.

A Samson Clutch from out of nowhere resulted in Minoru Fujita retaining the Union MAX Title against Takumi Tsukamoto. Afterwards Tsukamoto wanted to speak on the microphone but didn’t have much to say so Yasu Urano took it from him. Urano told Fujita they have known each other for so long. Who is the next challenger going to be? It’s Urano! The fans called for the match to happen right away but Urano noticed the referees were already preparing to go home. Isami Kodaka stepped in and said the title match should happen somewhere important so it will take place at Korakuen Hall on 4th August! Fujita said ever since he won the title he hasn’t felt like he is the leader of BASARA. He does not know what he needs to do to satisfy that feeling but he will not give up on himself for as long as he lives.

There was a reason why KUBITO used the Crossface Lock to win his match. He wants to invite his classmate Daisuke Sasaki over to BASARA for its next Korakuen show. KUBITO has an idea for the two of them to team up and challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. He has not asked BASARA for permission to do this so we will have to wait and see if it will happen.

FUMA and Gaia Hox praised each other and shook hands after their match.

The growing rivalry between Judo Master and Karate Master is now dragging SAGAT and Banana Senga into the mix. Senga has 9 years of karate experience so he fits in fine. SAGAT though knows neither martial art. Instead he is a Taekwondo guy. The match turned into an brawl out of the ring where some wrestlers also acted like cats as well as martial artists. It lasted long enough for everyone to get counted out.

BASARA “BASARA 250 ~TAKAGARI 25~” Results

June 2, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 250 ~TAKAGARI 25~”, 02/06/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano with a Rocket Punch (10:09).
2. FUMA & KUBITO defeated Lil’ Kraken & Takahiro Katori when KUBITO pinned Kraken with the Death Metal Roll (13:11).
3. Isami Kodaka & Judo Master Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga ended in a Double Countout (13:22).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masato Kamino with a Cradle (14:43).
5. Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Fuminori Abe defeated Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano & Ryuichi Sekine when Tsukamoto pinned Sekine with the Running Zudon (17:32).

After the main event Takumi Tsukamoto challenged Minoru Fujita for the Union MAX Title at the next Takashimadaira Kumin Center show on 15th July. Fujita said the atmosphere for this title match will be different because the audience in Takashimadaira are more calm and sober than the crowd who gets to drink a lot at BASARA shows held in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Backstage Tsukamoto said he wants to do a match that only BASARA can do, one that will dig deep into their hearts.

Yesterday it was announced that Astronauts will be challenging Harimao for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on 21st June. Fuminori Abe was on the winning side in the main event today. He also walked past Fujita during Fujita’s post match comments backstage.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi appeared with the other members of Asian Kung Fu Revolution at the start of the show to announce he has now become a first class Love Intructor. However seconds before his match took place he had to pull out when he suddenly came down with another bout of love sickness. Judo Master replaced him, making his first public appearance since losing the Iron Fist Tag Titles match with Tsukamoto a week ago. His tag match ended in a double countout when everyone fought up to the entrance stage. FUMA appeared in the ring armed with a rifle sensing wildlife was nearby and he shot down all of the wrestlers on the stage. Master tried to run back to the ring but FUMA shot him last and the referee finished the 20 count.

BASARA “BASARA 239 ~UTAGE~” Results

January 7, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 239 ~UTAGE~”, 07/01/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated KUBITO & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned KUBITO with the Mushagaeshi (11:36).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Oosugi pinned Sekine after the Pictures At An Exhibition ~Dwarf~ with Senga (10:16).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi by Knockout with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:14).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Daichi Kazato, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura when Kraken pinned Kazato with a Jumping Knee Butt (10:27).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA (c) with the Modified Samson Clutch (20:57).
*FUMA fails in V3. Minoru Fujita becomes the 21st Union MAX Champion!

The new year for BASARA begins with Minoru Fujita as the brand new Union MAX Champion! The man with nothing left in his life but pro wrestling defeated FUMA and promised to lead BASARA into 2024. Takato Nakano came out and congratulated Fujita but told him he thinks BASARA cannot progress until they have a more youthful energy to liven things up. Fujita accepted his challenge for the MAX Title. He’s been wrestling for 20 years and will continue to wrestle for 30 or even 40 more! Fujita thinks 2023 was a tough year for both BASARA and Sento Minzoku so 2024 is going to be the year of their counterattack.

It was previously announced in December but Ryuichi Sekine is trying to crowdfund his own wrestling show in Okayama on 14th April. It is a project that his wife Nodoka Tenma is also involved with so the show may end up featuring wrestlers from both BASARA and Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Full Ittenyon Card, Family Man Vs Divorced Man, MAO’s Crazy 4 Way, Ishida Injured

December 20, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’24”, 04/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga Vs Moka Miyamoto, Juria Nagano & Kaya Toribami
2. Mizuki & Runa Okubo Vs Ryo Mizunami & Haru Kazashiro
3. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
4. Riho Vs Shino Suzuki
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Aja Kong Vs Wakana Uehara
7. Special Single Match: Rina Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
8. International Princess Title: Max The Impaler (c) Vs Yuki Arai
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Masha Slamovich

This is the complete card for the Tokyo Joshi Pro Ittenyon show, ten matches in all. Riho from AEW was the most recent big name added to the lineup. Her match against Shino Suzuki will be her first appearance in TJPW since October 2022.

The match between Rina Yamashita and Maki Itoh does not have any violent stipulation attached to it yet. However Itoh warns that if her opponent uses a weapon then she will too. That is why she always brings her pizza cutter everywhere she goes.

Ryo Mizunami’s match sees her placed in the ring with Mizuki and the two youngest rookies Runa Okubo and Haru Kazashiro. Okubo has been developing a more power-based moveset so Mizunami is going to be a valuable opponent for her to learn from.

BASARA “BASARA 239 ~UTAGE~”, 07/01/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) Vs Minoru Fujita

When BASARA returns in the new year FUMA will put the Union MAX Title on the line against Minoru Fujita. The title challenge comes from Fujita wanting to turn around Sento Minzoku’s fortunes in 2024. The match also shows the opposite family lives between champion and challenger. FUMA got married this year and life as a whole has been fulfilling for him lately while Fujita is a divorced man with only pro wrestling to rely on. A man with nothing to lose is always a dangerous foe.

DDT “NEW YEAR’S CURRENT BLAST! 2024”, 14/01/2024
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Special 4 Way Match: MAO Vs Mecha Mummy Vs Mecha Pandita Vs Demonio Uno
2. All Asia Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Atsushi Onita & Toy Kojima

For some reason the Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market has become home to a number of pro wrestling’s most bizarre creations. Demonio Uno (or Demonio Dos) always pops up when TJPW runs shows there only to find out it is not the scariest monster in the area by a long shot. Mecha Mummy is going to show up after spending a year getting its improvements worked on over at Baka Gaijin + Friends. Then there is Mecha Pandita who as far as I know has not been seen since the short lived Bakuha Koshien promotion that ran during the pandemic. Filling out this 4 Way is MAO who is either the only normal part of the match or the most crazy out of everyone depending on your own point of view.

DDT “NEW YEAR FAN APPRECIATION DAY!”, 20/01/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: KANON Vs Yuni
2. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ilusion
3. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: Yukio Naya Vs Takeshi Masada
5. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Rukiya
6. New Year’s Six Major Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Hideki Okatani
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs Bryan Keith, Soma Takao & Shota

Six up and comers take on some of DDT’s mainstays in separate singles matches.

Yuki Ishida has opted to take time off in order to concentrate on treating a herniated lumbar disc. He had this injury back in August but returned in November. Unfortunately the injury is still bothering him so he is back out of action for the time being.

The last BASARA show of the year ended with Harimao holding a toast inside the ring. The main event was non-title but Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi are open to giving Aijin Tag a shot at the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles as long as Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino do their best. Harimao are just glad they get to end 2023 in BASARA on a happy note.

Isami Kodaka held the Spirit Of Ganbare Title belt above Shuichiro Katsumura to taunt him after their tag match. Minoru Fujita said the win was an overwhelming victory against Ganbare☆Pro and he looks forward to seeing Kodaka defend the title over there on 27th December. Fujita then decided to challenge FUMA for the Union MAX Title! He thinks everything fell apart for Sento Minzoku this year so in 2024 he will revitalize the group by beating FUMA for the championship. However FUMA said he does not have a good enough recent track record to deserve a shot. Fujita talked about FUMA recently getting married and having a fulfilling personal life while he has nothing but just pro wrestling to rely on. FUMA understood what he meant and accepted the challenge for 7th January.

The 3 Way Match was supposed to be A.YAZAWA’s specialty, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. It is where everyone has to dance whenever rock music plays over the speakers. However the sound system malfunctioned during the match and started playing drinking songs instead, causing the wrestlers to drink alcohol instead of dance.

*V1 for Harimao.
7. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with an Arm Clutch Fisherman Suplex (17:13).
*V2 for FUMA.

FUMA called Isami Kodaka his biggest wall going all the way back to the days of Union Pro. It is a wall he will always climb until they both retire. FUMA also said he is going to be the ace of BASARA in 2024 so he can make it a bigger organization in the pro wrestling world. Kodaka described FUMA as the competitive type when BASARA has many wrestlers who are playful.

In a close call, Harimao beat Speed Of Sounds to retain the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles. Even though Ryota Nakatsu scored the pinfall, he asked Kazusada Higuchi if they really did win because SOS were so hard to deal with.

The big upset of the day was Lil’ Kraken beating The Great Sasuke! Kraken is a big fan of his and hopes this won’t be the last time they are in the ring together. He won the match but felt there were times when Sasuke outclassed him. Next time Kraken wants to team with Sasuke in order to improve his own weaknesses. Sasuke said he lost in a pro wrestling match so next time he wants to face Kraken in a rap battle!

There wasn’t an upset when Takato Nakano faced Yuko Miyamoto though. Miyamoto won with the Moonsault Press and didn’t stick around to interact with Nakano any further afterwards.

The finish to the 3 Way Match was Masato Kamino putting Leo Isaka in a Camel Clutch while Isaka was applying his own Camel Clutch to Gouma Ryu. The added pressure forced Ryu to give up and since Isaka had the hold on him that meant Isaka was the winner.
