BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~”, 11/10/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano defeated Takeru Inoue with a Step-up Enzuigiri (8:15).
2. 2 Vs 4 Handicap Match: FUMA & Gouma Ryu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & KUBITO when Ryu pinned Hiroshi with a Diving Body Press (12:47).
3. Masato Kamino & Yusuke Kodama defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Kamino pinned Kodaka with the Lariat (9:07).
4. Billy Ken Kid defeated Daichi Kazato with a Cradle (12:37).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Modified Samson Clutch (22:21).
*V7 for Minoru Fujita.

It was around four years and eight months ago when Masahiro Takanashi defended the Union MAX Title against Minoru Fujita. It would be the last successful defence of his reign and he would lose the belt a month later by getting injured during his next title match. He never felt like he was beaten for the belt. Fujita meanwhile has been carrying the defeat to Takanashi ever since it happened and wanted the chance to exorcise it. So today’s match was an important title match for both wrestlers. Takanashi can regain the MAX Title and continue from where he was cut off or Fujita beats him properly and avenges his defeat from 2020. Either way Takanashi came to BASARA to finally get some closure.

The match was a bitter fight and Fujita even admitted out loud he waited four years for this. He did the Tombstone Piledriver but Takanashi kicked out of it. Fujita then countered the Takatonic and went for another Tombstone but it was turned into a Cradle for a nearfall. The two wrestlers kept countering Cradle moves on each other until Fujita pinned down Takanashi with the Modified Samson Clutch for the three count. Fujita said he worked really hard for this win which is why he is really happy about it. He and Takanashi now both have one win against each other. Takanashi said they could settle their score with a drinking contest in the ring. The two did just that with Takanashi finishing his drink before Fujita could. Fujita called Takanashi an irreplaceable friend who is always there for him. Also Fujita now has the record for most MAX Title defences in a single reign.

Daichi Kazato tried using a lot of unusual rolling moves to confuse Billy Ken Kid but in the end Kid was able to roll Kazato onto his shoulders and pin him down for the victory.

Even though Isami Kodaka lost to Masato Kamino he asked him for a UWA World Tag Team Titles shot after the match. Kodaka also said Hideyoshi Kamitani will be his partner because they haven’t teamed together in a while. Kamino accepted the challenge for 22nd October and said Aijin Tag won’t lose to a hastily made team.

At the start of the show FUMA and Gouma Ryu started talking about their careers outside of wrestling (hunter and lawyer respectively) and started getting along even though they were supposed to be opponents later. KUBITO then called Ryu a part-time wrestler which Ryu found insulting. FUMA & Ryu both wouldn’t stand for it so they decided to change their 6-Man Tag Match into a Handicap match. The two of them were now teaming up against the other four wrestlers! During the match Ryu kept getting ganged up on by his opponents and FUMA got tired of saving him. FUMA walked out of the match leaving Ryu to fight by himself. Through sheer luck Ryu fought off his opponents and climbed the top rope to hit a big finish on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. FUMA then reappeared at the entrance armed with his hunting rifle and he shot Ryu. Ryu ended up falling on top of Hiroshi anyway and scored the pinfall.

BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~” Results

August 27, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~”, 27/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Banana Senga defeated KUBITO & Lil’ Kraken when Senga pinned Kaken with a Jumping Spinning Cradle (11:10).
2. SAGAT, Takeru Inoue & Judo Master defeated Gouma Ryu, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano when Master pinned Ryu with the Osotogari (12:25).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated Tsutomu Oosugi wwith a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:32).
4. Ayato Yoshida defeated Daichi Kazato with an Oklahoma Roll (14:39).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Abe submitted Sekine with the O-Manjigatame (14:24).
*V2 for Astronauts.

Astronauts are among the wrestlers who are happy to see BASARA increasing its schedule because it means they get to have even more fun matches like the one they had today against Cavalry. They retained the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles and told Cavalry to get stronger so they can fight each other again and again. The finish to the match went awry because Fuminori Abe put Ryuichi Sekine in the Manjigatame and the bell rang prematurely. The match continued and Sekine gave up anyway. Both Abe & Takuya Nomura are confident they can defend the tag titles forever until they die. They also describe the matches they want to do should be like good snacks for everyone to enjoy with their drinks. Ryota Nakatsu likes the sound of that because the show ended too late for him to catch his last train home so he’s going to spend the rest of the night drinking instead.

Two days ago Ayato Yoshida won the 2AW Openweight Title over in his home promotion. When his match against Daichi Kazato began Kazato congratulated him on the achievement. The match ended with Kazato missing the Firebird Splash and Yoshida used an Oklahoma Roll to pin him.

At the start of the show Gouma Ryu complained about having gout in his foot. All of the other wrestlers in the match he was booked for except for Takeru Inoue stepped on his foot to see if he was telling the truth but that only made his injury worse. Ryu was able to wrestle in the match despite that but lost after taking an Osotogari throw from Judo Master.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 21, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka when Nakano pinned Isaka with the Kenkatabami (8:53).
2. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT, Gouma Ryu & Antonio Honda by Referee Stoppage when Kazato submitted Ryu with the Trigger Point (9:01).
3. Karate Master & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master when Karate Master pinned Master with the Let’s Seikentsu Mid-level Thrust (8:05).
4. Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Modern Times (13:34).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) when Abe submitted Nakatsu with the Arm Hold Manjigatame (15:33).
*Harimao fails in V5. Astronauts becomes the 12th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

That’s all she wrote for Harimao’s run as the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. The titles now belong to Astronauts! It happened when Fuminori Abe trapped Ryota Nakatsu in the Manjigatame while Takuya Nomura cut off Kazusada Higuchi by putting him in a similar submission hold. Abe told Nomura after the match they will go on a fierce road of title defences that only they can do. Not only are they going to liven up BASARA but the rest of the wrestling world too! They are even thinking about defending the belts overseas.

In a manner similar to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s recent disappearances, Ryuichi Sekine wasn’t anywhere to be found for his match today (apparently he took a nap somewhere backstage and overslept). Luckily a replacement was found in a newcomer called Karate Master. Just like Judo Master his martial arts talents are cancelled out by his lack of pro wrestling knowledge. However he did know how to pin his opponent and did so after hitting Master with a Karate style Diving Fist Drop. After the match Minoru Fujita and Takumi Tsukamoto continued to fight each other. Fujita blamed it on the karate gi he wore for the match. He claims it made him more fired up than usual so he will never wear it again.

Last month SAGAT and Gouma Ryu had a confrontation that included Ryu objecting to SAGAT making Superman references without permission to use the trademark. That must have all been solved this month because SAGAT wore his Superman inspired gear, Antonio Honda was straight up wearing a full Superman costume and Ryu revealed during the match he was also wearing a Superman costume beneath his suit. Unfortunately their superpowers werent’ strong enough and Daichi Kazato rendered Ryu unconscious by grabbing the trigger points in his shoulders.

BASARA “BASARA 249 ~UTAGE~” Results

May 28, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 249 ~UTAGE~”, 28/05/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ryuichi Sekine, Fuminori Abe & Gaia Hox defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Yasu Urano when Hox pinned FUMA with the Butterfly Effect (13:11).
2. SAGAT defeated Gouma Ryu with the Superman Splash (8:41).
3. Lil’ Kraken, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kraken pinned Nakano with the High Angle Jumping Knee Butt (9:43).
4. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master when Nakatsu pinned Master with the V Slider (16:47).
*V4 for Harimao.
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Daichi Kazato with a Body Press after Kazato missed the Firebird Splash (20:33).
*V4 for Minoru Fujita.

So close but yet so far. Daichi Kazato kicked out of the SAYONARA Tombstone twice and got Minoru Fujita in position for a big high flying move to finish him off. Kazato went for the Firebird Special but Fujita rolled out of the way and Kazato crashed onto the mat. The miss cost him everything because Fujita pinned him afterwards to remain as the Union MAX Champion. After the match Fujita told Kazato he knows nothing about him but was happy to share a little bit of his heart with him today. Kazato thanked the fans for supporting him and apologised to them for losing. When he left the ring, Fujita waited to see if anyone would come out to challenge him. Nobody did so he closed out the show by himself. Backstage Fujita told reporters that good matches happen all the time but they will be forgotten about after a month or even a week. What he sets out to do is have a match that will leave a deep mark in everyone’s hearts like a scar. That is what makes a great match to him.

Is there any team out there that can beat Harimao? That is the question now being asked by the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions after their latest successful title defence. Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master had a bumpy road leading into the title match but went into the match as a well oiled team. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough even with Master taking off his gi to take the match up a level against Ryota Nakatsu while Tsukamoto took out Kazasada Higuchi with a Plancha. Harimao won in the end and praised the challengers for giving them a good fight.

Today was Takato Nakano’s first match back from his minor shoulder injury. He lost his tag match though. Lil’ Kraken got the pin on him with the Juping Knee Butt. Nakano wanted to keep fighting Kraken after the match but Masato Kamino stepped in to stop him.

The lawyer Gouma Ryu kept accusing SAGAT of copyright infringement during their match. Everytime SAGAT did something that allegedly copied something else, Ryu would threaten him with a 10,000 yen fine or jail time if he couldn’t afford it. SAGAT wanted to do a Running Cannonball into the corner? Ryu would fine him because he is copying Shigehiro Irie. He wanted to do a Superman Splash? That was infringing American copyrights. It led to SAGAT constantly searching for money outside the ring so he could pay the fines. He then turned the tables after Ryu gave him the Running Neckbreaker and shouted his catchphrase because Ryu is just copying Ryuma Go! From that point on SAGAT ignored the warnings and beat Ryu with the Superman Splash.

BASARA “BASARA 246 ~UTAGE~” Results

April 30, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 246 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yasu Urano & Yuki Ishikawa defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Masato Kamino when Urano pinned Sekine with a School Boy (12:24).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated SAGAT & Gouma Ryu when Senga pinned Ryu after the Goregrind from SAGAT (10:40).
3. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated Isami Kodaka, Takato Nakano & Gaia Hox when Kazato pinned Nakano with a Rocket Punch (12:28).
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master when Nakatsu pinned Master with the V Slider (12:09).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Mechakucha-katame (17:23).
*V3 for Minoru Fujita.

Just like what happened at the last BASARA show, pulling off Lil’ Kraken’s mask comes with a big risk. Minoru Fujita unmasked him during the main event and Kraken blinded him with Poison Mist out of self defence. Kraken continued to wrestle unmasked for the rest of the match but was caught in a modified Gokuraku-gatame and had to give up. Fujita was still blinded after the match and had to give his victory speech while being unable to see anything. Daichi Kazato then entered the ring and excitedly challenged Fujita for the Union MAX Title. However Isami Kodaka demanded Kazato face him in a singles match first. Kodaka has his own plans in mind but he will only reveal what it is after he beats Kazato.

The No. 1 Contenders for the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles hit a speed bump on the road to their title shot. One-half of the champions Ryota Nakatsu was able to beat Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master while teaming with Fuminori Abe insteado of Kazusada Higuchi. Master seems to remember what the rules of pro wrestling are but now the problem with him is his mask. Nakatsu kept pulling at his mask to block his sight and it eventually paid off with the win.

In Match #2 SAGAT hit Banana Senga with the Goregrind but they landed on top of Gouma Ryu. Since Ryu’s shoulders were pinned to the mat, the referee counted Senga pinning him instead of SAGAT pinning Senga.

The Yuki Ishikawa that fought in the opener is the Big Japan wrestler, not the shoot style fighter. Today was his first match with BASARA.

BASARA “BASARA 244 ~UTAGE~” Results

March 19, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 244 ~UTAGE~”, 19/03/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Fuminori Abe defeated Lil’ Kraken with a School Boy (10:11).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Gouma Ryu and Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano when Oosugi pinned Ryu after a Thrust Kick from Senga (9:28).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Judo Master Vs FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato ended in a Draw when Tsukamoto and Kazato pinned each other (12:17).
4. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Isami Kosaka with the Doctor Bomb (13:11).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Masato Kamino with a Modified Inside Cradle (18:04).
*V2 for Minoru Fujita.

Minoru Fujita praised Masato Kamino for being a strong opponent and let him give have time on the microphone after the match. Kamino was disappointed not to win today but reminded Fujita they will face each other again in another title bout this weekend. This time it will be in TTT in a match for the TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Fujita is one of the title holders over there. Then Lil’ Kraken entered the ring and asked Fujita for a Union MAX Title shot. He figured since both Takato Nakano and now Masato Kamino lost to Fujita, he is next in line from their generation to challenge the champion. Fujita didn’t like the idea until he remembered that Kraken beat The Great Sasuke at Korakuen Hall last December. That doesn’t sit right with Fujita because he has never beaten Sasuke one on one. The title match will happen on 30th April.

Isami Kodaka tried targeting Kazusada Higuchi’s right arm during their match. The plan worked for a while but Higuchi was able to tough it out and beat Kodaka clean in a preview of next month’s IRON FIST Tag Team Titles match.

Match #2 ended with everybody piling on top of Gouma Ryu for the pin. Speed Of Sounds were ruled the winners because they were directly on top of him.

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~” Results

March 9, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Goregrind (8:27).
2. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga when KUBITO submitted Ryu with a Crossface Lock (7:24).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (12:42).
4. Masato Kamino & Chicharito Shoki defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judo Master when Kamino pinned Master with the Lariat (14:54).
5. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (18:52).

2024 could be the year Sento Minzoku is back on top of the BASARA mountain. Minoru Fujita is currently the Union MAX Champion and the result of today’s main event could lead to the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles coming back to him too. Isami Kodaka pinned Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and told Fujita he wants the two of them to challenge Harimao for the titles. Nakatsu complained that Fujita shouldn’t have to be Kodaka’s partner and Ryuichi Sekine should do it instead. However he eventually agreed to put the belts on the line against Fujita & Kodaka. Kazusada Higuchi’s next BASARA appearance is on 19th March but Fujita is already defending the Union MAX Title on 19th March on that show. He refuses to wrestle twice, especially if it is in two championship matches back to back. They all think Higuchi will be available to wrestle in BASARA again on 20th April so they will do the title match there unless they got Higuchi’s schedule wrong.

Sekine announced he will be back to wrestling on a regular schedule with BASARA starting from next month. He made it a goal to work his way into becoming a champion again.

Yesterday BASARA reported that Takato Nakano had a fever but tested negative for covid. They decided to pull him from the show as a precaution and brought in Chicharito Shoki to replace him. If that wasn’t enough, it was announced that the love sickness Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is suffering from has gotten worse so he couldn’t wrestle today either. The masked Judo Master was suspiciously in the venue again to take his place for the second show in a row. He seemed to have a better understanding of pro wrestling this time but still lost to Masato Kamino.

Today is the first time Gouma Ryu wrestled in Takashimadaira Kumin Center for a BASARA show. He thought he was taking part in another Pro Wrestling Trial but Banana Senga forgot to bring his outfit. They held a court session arguing whether or not injuring your opponent in a pro wrestling match should be a crime. They told KUBITO and Yasu Urano to wrestle each other in order to provide evidence. None of their actions injured either of them so the referee/judge declared them Not Guilty. Ryu did not accept the result and convinced Senga to fight the other two. KUBITO & Urano quickly beat them.

6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

So let’s get this straight. Yuka Sakazaki graduated from TJPW in December, hasn’t wrestled a match anywhere else since for whatever reason and is now going to make a special appearance to compete at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”? Yeah, beats me what’s going on or what she will do there. Mizuki wants to team with her again and is scared over the idea it won’t happen. Sakazaki helped train Juria Nagano so she can say goodbye to her there. What if Sakazaki wants to get in the ring with Masha Slamovich again? Or maybe she wants to fight Andreza Giant Panda while she still has the chance.

5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Modified Tombstone Piledriver (18:04).
*V1 for Minoru Fujita.

Takato Nakano had his own cheering section led by Kaori Yoneyama, Cherry, Matsuzawa-san and other people related to the YMZ wrestling promotion during the main event. He was able to kick out of the Samson Clutch but Minoru Fujita eventually pinned him with the Modified Tombstone. After the match Masato Kamino challenged Fujita to a title match. Fujita asked if Kamino can drum up the same level of support as Takano did? Are Yoneyama, Cherry or Matsuzawa-san going to come back and cheer him on too? Fujita has never gotten to lead BASARA until now so he wants to fill up Shin-Kiba 1st RING with people no matter if they support him or his challengers. He agreed to the match for next month.

There was a sudden announcement that Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi missed the show due to a bout of love sickness. His replacement was a masked fighter going by the name Judo Master. He was quickly pinned by Ryota Nakatsu and admitted to Takumi Tsukamoto afterward he does not understand the rules of pro wrestling. The two teams agreed to restart the match and this time Master got the hang of things. He lost again though, this time to Isami Kodaka.

The opening match also had to restart a couple of times because Gouma Ryu kept getting pinned quickly. He kept pleading on the microphone to do rematches and got the fans to side with him.
