365 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. SAGAT defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Zero Distance Goregrind (8:49).

3. 3 Way Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizara defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano and Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider (11:20).
4. Special Single Match: Daichi Kazato defeated Best Stretchman V3 (Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi) with the Explosive Axe Bomber (10:58).
5. Double Dragon Vs Sakigake!! Iron Family ~ Hardcore Tag Match: Ryuichi Sekine & Ryuji Ito defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Sekine submitted FUMA with the Combine (14:47).
6. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Final: Isami Kodaka defeated Minoru Fujita with the Isamiashi Zan (18:59).

The all Sento Minzoku final in the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ was won by Isami Kodaka! In the semi-finals both Kodaka and Minoru Fujita won their matches with the Samson Clutch so the move was expected to show up here. Kodaka used it first but Fujita was able to kick out of it. The same result happened when Fujita used the same move. Fujita went for the Fire Spear but Kodaka cut it off with a Knee Strike and won the match with the Isamiashi Zan. Kodaka called Fujita his master thanked him from the bottom of his heart. And since the 500,000 yen prize originally belonged to Kodaka anyway, he decided to give the money over to Fujita so he can put together his own BASARA show on 24th July. Fujita accepted the money but admitted there isn’t much time for him to prepare his plans. The show ended with all of Sento Minzoku standing together wishing everyone “PEACE & Fxxk!”

Ryuji Ito’s visit to BASARA had him and Ryuichi Sekine facing FUMA & Yusuke Kubo in a Hardcore match. Chairs, steel cans and a ladder were used by both teams to pummel each other. Ito hit FUMA with a chair so hard across the back that the chair’s frame bent. FUMA & Kubo gave Sekine the Crucifixion Of Death onto the ladder. Sekine Superplexed FUMA onto the steel cans. He finally put FUMA away by blocking a chair attack and applying the Combine to make FUMA give up.

The transformation of Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi into Perfect Best Stretchman V3 meant that Daichi Kazato had to fight his own creation. Kazato used his stretching submission moves but found out that Stretchman was able to withstand them. Stretchman took out a spare Best Stretchman hood and forced it onto Kazato’s head. However Kazato’s will was too strong and he was able to rip it off. He went to hit an Axe Bomber when Stretchman suddenly removed his own hood, turning himself back into Hiroshi. He told Kazato he was now free from the Stretchman’s power but it was a trap! When Kazato dropped his guard, Hiroshi put the hood back on and struck Kazato with a Trigger Point strike. He went for the Stretch Bomber but Kazato countered it with the Rider Kick. He unmasked Stretchman again and hit the Explosive Axe Bomber for the three count.

Kazato said he finally surpassed Best Stretchman V3 but he could still hear V3’s voice in the hood. He leaned in to listen closer and the hood one again found its way onto Kazato’s head! V3 said he can die many times but will always return. But there is nothing to fear. It turns out Kazato has passed V3’s challenge! His reward is the ability to use the power of Best Stretchman without the need to wear the hood. Kazato tested it out by stretching the referee to great effect. Excited with his newly gained powers, Kazato chose the next person he must surpass. Hiro Tsumaki, aka FUMA!

The 3 Way Tag was used by Ryota Nakatsu to prepare for the annual BASARA Vs Dove Pro summer series. The team of Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino did well together despite their lack of experience compared to everyone else. But in the end Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider.

It will take more than a Rabbit Punch to take out Banana Senga. He still had the wherewithal to block Fuminori Abe and set up Tsutomu Oosugi to Cradle him. Speed Of Sounds also did a good job keeping Ikuto Hidaka at bay.

SAGAT was able to counter the Orange Sunset into a short range Goregrind to beat Daiki Shimomura. With this result SAGAT avenged the pin he took from Shimomura at last month’s tag match.


Have We Been Teleported Back To The Sengoku Era?

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN ODAWARA”, 10/02/2013
Odawara Sub Arena

1. Odawara Castle Siege Match: Narita Nagachika (Sanshiro Takagi), Princess Kai (Hiroyo Matsumoto) & Hojo Ujimasa (Akito) Vs Ishida Mitsunari (Danshoku Dino), Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Michael Nakazawa) & Date Masamune (DJ Nira)
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA

The former Hiro Tsumaki has changed his ringname to FUMA after taking suggestions from fans online. After a lot of consideration, Tsumaki whittled down the entries to three choices: FUMA, Aishu Ranba and Marasho. In the end he chose FUMA. The name is inspired by Fuma Kotaro, the 16th century leader of a ninja clan that was based in Odawara, Tsumaki’s hometown. Tsumaki also liked the name because it is written in romaji, so even foreign fans will know his name.

FUMA’s timing of the announcement also worked out to his advantage because he now has a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles in his hometown. FUMA will form a Union team with Shuji Ishikawa to take on the champions (and FUMA’s stablemates) HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano. For this match FUMA considers himself as wrestling for Union rather than Ura-Shima-Hiro (or are they now called Ura-Shima-Fuma?).

A mysterious document was sent to Tsurumi Amon that foretold of an upcoming siege in Odawara. Word has spread that Toyotomi Hideyoshi (no, not the Osaka Pro wrestler) has gathered his forces and are marching towards Odawara as we speak. Together with samurai commander Ishida Mitsunari and tactician Date Masamune (no, not the other Osaka Pro wrestler), the trio will spearhead the attack on Odawara Castle. Meanwhile, those in the castle are preparing for battle. Hojo Ujimasa along with Narita Nagachika have rallied their troops and also have the beautiful but deadly Princess Kai on their side. Together, they must protect their castle of chairs from destruction.

I’m now in the mood to watch Sengoku Basara after typing all of that.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA”, 11/02/2013
Oyama City Cultural Center

1. Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira Vs Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma
2. Yasu Urano Vs Shigehiro Irie

After all that flavour text for the Odawara show, there is not much to say about the show in Oyama one day later. Drift continue their war with DDT. While Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma have the odd hurdle of Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira to climb over, Shigehiro Irie has the far tougher challenge of facing Yasu Urano one on one.


BIG “G” BANG Title Shot, Olé Yankee, GENTARO’s Family Grudge

April 19, 2012

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka, SAGAT
1. Handicap Match Of Love: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Rion Mizuki & Rumi Kazama
2. Goro Tsurumi, El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr Vs Big Rude, Black Spider Clutch & GENTARO
3. Age Contra Makeup: Cherry Vs Mio Shirai
4. New Sanshiro Takagi Vs New Keizo Matsuda
5. Hiro Tsumaki Triumph: Hiro Tsumaki & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico
6. BJW Tag Team Title: Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – ??? Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

As DDT Extreme Champion, Yuko Miyamoto gets to decide what match he and Ken Ohka will have for the belt. He will announce it sometime before the show takes place.

Back at the Big Japan/Union joint show, BIG “G” BANG defeated Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu in a hotly contested match-up. Since then, Sasaki & Shinobu have become the BJW Tag Team Champions. Due to their victory over the new champions, Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie have now been given a title shot that will take place in Union. This match takes place a day before Ishikawa faces Abdullah Kobayashi for the BJW Death Match Title at Big Japan’s biggest show of the year. So Shuji could wind up with two Big Japan titles in two days.

Isami Kodaka is looking forward to teaming with El Generico for the first time. After their battles over the Extreme Title, he now thinks they will have a lot of fun tagging together. However, Isami does not have the same views on Kengo Ohka. He doesn’t exactly hate Kengo, it’s more of a strong dislike of the man. The wild card of the match is Hiro Tsumaki, who has been absent from Union for several months. Turns out he spent his time away from Union by wrestling for Okinawa Pro. Kodaka does not know what Tsumaki has learned during his time in Okinawa or what to expect from his return. Even though the match is titled “Hiro Tsumaki Triumph” Isami also wants the match to be called “Union Next Stage.”

Big Rude abducted GENTARO in an attempt to have him wrestle against the Tsurumi family. During the press conference for the event, Big Rude brought in a blindfolded GENTARO into the room and over to the table before revealing what he wanted from him. GENTARO has a bad history with Goro Tsurumi and his two sons. Their grudge began over an incident involving vegetable oil that took place in Mexico many years ago. GENTARO agreed to help Rude fight the Tsumaki clan and Black Spider Clutch has also been added to their team. GENTARO said he heard a rumour that Clutch once ate a baby. That’s probably not the most reassuring thing to tell someone who will be tagging with the guy.

The Union League Experiment continues with at least Madoka and SAGAT involved in the latest offering. It has not been decided yet if anymore wrestlers will be involved on the night.
