BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~” Results

June 21, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~”, 21/06/2022

??? Fans – Withheld

5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (20:24).
*Ryota Nakatsu fails in V7. Isami Kodaka becomes the 17th Union MAX Champion!

The Union MAX Title belongs to Isami Kodaka once more! He brought Ryota Nakatsu’s dominant reign to an end with an unexpected use of a Fire Thunder Driver to set up not one, not two but three Diving Knee Drops in a row. It’s been four years since Kodaka last held the title and he isn’t eager to risk losing it so quickly. He announced he will not put the title on the line against Yuko Miyamoto for his 20th Anniversary match at Korakuen Hall on 18th July. The upcoming match is what inspired him to use the Fire Thunder today and he promises the match will be the culmination of Yankee Two Kenju.

Speed Of Sounds defended the IRON FIST Tag Titles while wearing homemade robot helmets and acting like RoboCop.

Chicharito Shoki got the win against Lil’ Kraken out of nowhere with the Torvezino Clutch. Kraken got angry over the result and attacked Shoki after the match forcing the two to be pulled apart.

At the start of the show Yusuke Kubo came out, making his first public appearance in BASARA since he was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis back in March. Kubo announced his return match will be on 10th July and he will be using a new name to mark the occasion. Yusuke Kubo is now called KUBITO! He explained it is sort of like the Mexican version of calling him “Kubo-chan”. The origin of the name comes from his time staying in Mexico when the landlady of the place he stayed in always called him “Kubito”.

BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~” Results

April 12, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~”, 12/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Kraken with a German Suplex (12:04).
2. Jacket Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Gouma by Knockout with the Nagabuchi K (24:02).
3. Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa when Shimomura pinned Nakatsu with an Inverted Hurricanrana (17:35).
4. Shigehiro Irie defeated SAGAT with the Beast Bomber (17:10).
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Oosugi pinned Kamino with a School Boy (18:09).
*V4 for Speed Of Sounds.

It was a lucky result for Speed Of Sounds today. They barely defeated Aijin Tag thanks to a Thrust Kick from Banana Senga to Masato Kamino leading into a School Boy from Tsutomu Oosugi. Senga admitted afterwards that the match was even closer than the one last month and they probably wouldn’t win if they did another rematch. Oosugi cut him off but Takato Nakano’s eyes lit up and he begged for another rematch next month. SOS won’t do it so Nakano told them to hold onto the IRON FIST Tag Titles until Aijin Tag can earn another title shot.

Shigehiro Irie offered to shake SAGAT’s hand after their match but SAGAT refused. Instead he begged Irie for a rematch somewhere down the line. Irie nodded and left the ring.

A “perfect three count” happened when Daiki Shimomura pinned Ryota Nakatsu in their tag match. He pinned him with a 2 count before and today’s three count means Shimomura now has the confidence he needs to beat Nakatsu again when the Union MAX Title is on the line on 28th April.

The Jacket Match between Fuminori Abe and Gouma actually begun during the show opening announcements and continued while the opening tag match was going on. Both matches ended up getting mixed together at points. This was allowed to happen because the Jacket Match had No DQs, No Countouts and could only be won by Knockout. Abe won by knocking out Gouma with the Nagabuchi Kick. Asian Kung Fu Revolution then attacked the both of them because it turns out Abe and Gouma just ruined FUMA’s 12th Anniversary match! Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano came back out to rescue them, leading to a big brawl between everyone in the ring.

8. DDT Universal Title – Hardcore 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Jun Kasai Vs MAO
9. KO-D Openweight Title – Japan Bakery Marketing Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

Michael Nakazawa holds a grudge with Sanshiro Takagi for all of the times Takagi has embarrassed him inside and out of the ring. The only way this problem can be settled is with an I’m Sorry Match. It is no holds barred, no countouts and the match will only end when one wrestler says “I’m Sorry” to his opponent on a microphone.

The WRESTLE UNIVERSE broadcast of the show will include English commentary from Baliyan Akki, Hiroshi Arai and Christelle Ciari.

BASARA “BASARA 187 ~THE 18TH FOX PRINCE~”, 26/03/2022

You thought we were done with The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING tag matches? Ha, fat chance!

It’s time for Pheromones and DAMNATION T.A to cross each other’s paths. They have a regular tag match here to build up to the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match two weeks later.

BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~”, 12/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

The Aijin Tag of Nakano & Kamino already lost a non-title match to Speed Of Sounds. However they were given praise and told they were welcome for a rematch sometime. Aijin Tag took the compliments to heart and challenged SOS for the IRON FIST Tag Titles because if they have even a tiny chance of winning the belts, they will go for it. Did SOS accidentally talk themselves into losing their championship?

BASARA “BASARA 189 ~GLITTER~”, 28/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

The youngest member of Sento Minzoku has fought for the Union MAX Title twice before. The first of which was even against Ryota Nakatsu during Nakatsu’s first reign. Daiki Shimomura beat Nakatsu the last time they fought each other but it was in a 2 Count Rules match. He is confident he can pin Nakatsu for a 3 Count and take the MAX Title from him.

BASARA “BASARA 185 ~GLITTER~” Results

March 15, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 185 ~GLITTER~”, 15/03/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato when Shimomura pinned Kazato with the Swanton Bomb (15:00).
2. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Gouma and Lil Kraken when SAGAT pinned Gouma with the Goregrind (7:18).
3. Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano when Brookes pinned Urano after the OATH At The Peach Garden (15:08).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Oosugi pinned Nakano with a Cradle (9:40).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated FUMA with a Back Roll Clutch (16:40).
*V4 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Ryota Nakatsu beats FUMA by the skin of his teeth to retain the Union MAX Title. Nakatsu thanked FUMA for the challenge and FUMA admitted the champion’s judo was stronger than his own kung fu. Daiki Shimomura walked out and reminded Nakatsu he beat him in the first round of last year’s Heaven Summit tournament. It was in a 2 Count match and even so, Tsukamoto claims he kicked out at 1.9. Shimomura said he can beat him with a three count so he challenged him to a title match next month.

Speed Of Sounds praised their opponents for becoming a stronger tag team, one that could beat them the next time they wrestle each other. Takato Nakano took their word and demanded a rematch with the IRON FIST Tag Titles on the line. If it is true that he and Masato Kamino have even a tiny percent chance of beating SOS then they want to take it. Tsutomu Oosugi tried to explain he only said that as a compliment but he & Banana Senga had to accept the challenge in the end. Nakano & Kamino want to win the belts and stand at the forefront of BASARA!

The OATH At The Peach Garden used by CDK is a Super Kick from Masahiro Takanashi into a Back Clutch Hold from Chris Brookes.

BASARA “BASARA 182 ~GLITTER~” Results

January 25, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 182 ~GLITTER~”, 25/01/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT, Akiyori Takizawa & Yasu Urano defeated Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when SAGAT pinned Kraken with the Goregrind (13:26).
2. Fuminori Abe & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Daichi Kazato when Takanashi pinned Kazato with the Hangover!! (11:01).
3. Last Single: Isami Kodaka Vs Tank Nagai ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Gouma with the Osotogari (9:39).
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Oosugi pinned FUMA with a Cradle (16:40).
*V3 for Speed Of Sounds.

With another title defence in the books, Speed Of Sounds think everything was easy-peasy today. Last time they held the IRON FIST Tag Titles they defended them for a year. This time they want to defend it for two years so it will feel like going from Normal difficulty to Hard mode. IRON PRIEST thought they had everything it took to win the titles today. Yusuke Kubo thinks their plan fell apart in the middle of the match. FUMA put everything he gained from the two years since the teams last fought each other into the match and felt he failed right at the end. They will not lose hope though and are ready for a rematch whenever and wherever Speed Of Sounds want it.

For the last time Isami Kodaka and Tank Nagai got to wrestle each other. After the match ended in a draw, Kodaka told Nagai that just because his wrestling career is ending does not mean his life is. No matter what Nagai does next, Kodaka wants him to remember this match and go for it. Nagai said he and his wife Mio Shirai are about to have their third child. The next time he comes to BASARA in some form, he’ll be able to show the power of all five members of his family.

Two Close Contacts Changes Tomorrow’s Show

January 2, 2022

DDT “DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY OPENING SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3000 YEN BOX OFFICE!!”, 03/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Soma Takao, Gota Ihashi & Yuki Ishida
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Yuji Hino, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku
3. Special Mixed Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Saki Akai Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Maya Yukihi
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Pokotan
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Ueno
6. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Hideki Okatani
7. HARASHIMA & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Naomi Yoshimura
8. DDT 25th Anniversary Opening Memorial Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Shinya Aoki

Both Yukio Naya and Yusuke Okada were recently identified as close contacts with Covid and have to pull out of tomorrow’s show. Neither have shown any illness but will both stay home to avoid any possible spread of the virus. Changes are made to the card because of this. Yuya Koroku no longer has a singles match (Okada was his original opponent), instead he will replace Naya in what is now Match #2.

BASARA “BASARA 182 ~GLITTER~”, 25/01/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

On New Year’s Eve Ryota Nakatsu won a Battle Royal to determine the No. 1 Contender of the Union MAX Title. Since he is already the champion his reward was to choose his next opponent. He picked Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, the person he last eliminated to win the Battle Royal.

The first IRON FIST Tag Champions have a chance to reclaim the belts. Look BASARA is a small promotion they can only cycle through the same teams for title matches over and over. IRON PRIEST lost the titles to Speed Of Sounds the first time around too. So maybe winning them back will bring some closure to the rivalry on their end.
