BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~” Results

December 14, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Lil Kraken with the Goregrind (8:28).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Gouma when Hiroshi submitted Gouma with the Kesagatame (11:11).
3. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kubo pinned Kamino with the Death Metal Roll (14:00).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the O-Cannon Bomb (16:19).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Banana Senga with the V Slider (16:47).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Ryota Nakatsu jokingly made sure he didn’t break Banana Senga’s jaw this time and kept asking him if his chin was ok after the main event. Senga was angry over losing to Nakatsu and had to be held back by Tsutomu Oosugi. He was told he was getting hot headed before their next match where this time the IRON FIST Tag Titles will be on the line. After Speed Of Sounds left, Nakatsu said he & SAGAT will win the belts on 26th December and he will become a double crown champion! Sparky and SOS later had another confrontation backstage after the show.

Earlier this year Takumi Tsukamoto was a triple crown champion holding the Union MAX Title, the BJW Death Match Title and the obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title. He eventually lost the first two but still has the CCW Title in his possession. Little is known about the origins of the title but Tsukamoto was told it was brought to Japan by Bad News Allen around 20 years ago and other former champions include Shigeo Okumura and Kazuhiko Matsuzaki. It was revived five years ago and Tsukamoto was even part of the tournament to crown the new champion. Daichi Kazato told him he never defends the title so he dared him to put it on the line against him. It took some convincing but in the end Tsukamoto agreed to a title match on 26th December.

This was Minoru Fujita’s first match in BASARA since August. Masahiro Takanashi paused the match to congratulate him on his return from illness. He then hit him with the Rocket Punch.

During Match #2 Kazato and Oosugi got into an endless cycle of Tombstone reversals along the entrance ramp that took them away from ringside and out of their match. They returned to the ring still doing the reversals after Match #4. Oosugi won out by hitting the Tombstone on Kazato and left. Kazato then grabbed a microphone while prone and made his CCW Title challenge to Tsukamoto.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Since Kenta Kobashi will be in attendance to see the D-Ou Grand Prix final, Tetsuya Endo decided to visit him at his gym during the week to get some feedback on his tournament performance. Endo also brought up his plans to create a new unit. He asked Kobashi for advice, citing Kobashi’s experience leading units such as GET and Burning. Kobashi said a unit needs a strategist so Endo’s position would improve if he finds a councilor. Endo immediately asked Kobashi if he could take that role in the unit. Kobashi declined because he is not interested in returning to the ring. He did however invite Endo back to his gym again after the Grand Prix so they could talk more about potential members for Endo’s new unit.

While I’ve been writing up this blog post, all of a sudden DDT sends out a tweet in English hyping up a big mystery name. “That BIG NAME that everyone’s talking about recently will be at DDT 12.26 NEVER MIND 2021 in YOYOGI! The name will be announced at DDT 12.5 Korakuen Hall! Stay tuned LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!” I’m out of the loop on this one.

A heavyweight match gives Naomi Yoshimura a chance to get past his poor D-Ou performances. Yukio Naya is still trying to get his act together but picked up some recent wins here and there.

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Banana Senga

Banana Senga scored a big win on the last show when he pinned Isami Kodaka in their tag match. He later stepped up to challenge Ryota Nakatsu next for the Union MAX Title. Around five years ago Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a match and while he accepts the blame over the injury, he doesn’t think he is responsible now to pay for any compensation towards Senga. Instead he is willing to defend the MAX Title against him.

BASARA “BASARA 180 ~WHITE WAGTAIL~”, 26/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Nakatsu accepting Senga’s challenge for the MAX Title on two weeks notice came as part of a deal. That match happens first then Sparky gets an IRON FIST Tag Titles shot against Speed Of Sounds two weeks after that.

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~” Results

November 30, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil Kraken & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Kraken with the Samurai’s Return (13:34).
2. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Kubo submitted Gouma with the Crossface Lock (9:28).
3. Masahiro Takanashi defeated FUMA with the Uwabami (14:58).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Senga pinned Kodaka with the Cancun Tornado (15:09).
*V1 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with a Rolling Back Clutch Hold (20:12).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.

All is good between Sparky after their Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu said only people who are the same age and on the same team could fight each other like they do. It was a fight to the death but all that separated Nakatsu from SAGAT was a rolling pin. Nakatsu says it is his new move and he wants to call it the Nakaroll.

Speed Of Sounds approached Sparky after the main event. Banana Senga said he has a history with Nakatsu. Five years ago they were supposed to have a singles match but before it took place Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a tag team bout. Senga says Nakatsu owes him a lot of money over it so he should get a MAX Title shot on 14th December. Nakatsu agreed but in return he wants an IRON FIST Tag Titles match with SAGAT against as his partner on 26th December. Senga didn’t want to commit because what if he breaks his jaw again in the MAX Title match? Tsutomu Oosugi encouraged him to win the MAX Title, then they can defend the IRON FIST Titles and then Senga will be a double champion!

One of Kodaka’s buddies from Big Japan is finishing up his tour and heading home before the end of the year. But before Drew Parker moves on to the next stage of his career, he comes to BASARA to face his rival one last time. At least for now.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

During the week Mizuki Watase unexpectedly requested a move from DDT to Ganbare☆Pro. DDT had met with Watase to discuss his plans and all sides agreed to go through with the move as of 25th November. Watase’s match against Yusuke Okada on 5th December will still go ahead and it is now his send-off match from DDT. Watase has wrestled in Ganpro several times and thinks the heat from the fans matches his own temperature. He is grateful to DDT for having him for 6 years including his debut match in Sumo Hall. He hopes to get stronger so the next time he steps in a DDT ring he will return the favour. This move also opens up Watase’s options because he wants to wrestle in other companies, in foreign countries and against various people. If he can get that kind of schedule then he will be able to wrestle the same amount of matches as he would if he stayed in DDT.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021

4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs SAKI & Yuna Mizumori

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are looking for their next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They can be anyone or anything. Yuka Sakazaki said it is not necessary for their opponents to be human. She brings up the possible pairing of Pokotan & Yoshihiko as potential challengers. She doesn’t know much about TropicaWild because she doesn’t interact much with other joshi promotions. Mizuki however has history with SAKI. They both teamed together for their debut match almost a decade ago! Together they were Buribato♡, the “Brilliant Battle Girls” of LLPW-X.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 12/12/2021

Yuki Ueno is still preparing for the D-Ou Grand Prix final that will be against Takeshita. As for the other three HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo and Kazusada Higuchi had their time to lick their wounds. It’s time to get up and move on.

DDT takes on a Nagoya promotion known as Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling. The company is allegedly the only joshi wrestling promotion in Nagoya and has existed since 2013. It is also named after an adult magazine which is another sign that all is not as it seems. The only wrestler associated with Dera Beppin is Papillon Akemi, a masked wrestler designed to look like a shoujo manga character. If it’s joshi that Akemi wants then joshi is what Akemi will get. Saki Akai is stepping up on the DDT side.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

Even though Mizuki doesn’t like to fight against Miyu Yamashita she does have a good win-loss record against her. She has now been full-time with Tokyo Joshi Pro for a year now and wants to carry the promotion on her back. That means she needs to take the Princess Of Princess Title from Yamashita. The champion has been beaten by Mizuki twice this year. During the Tokyo Princess Cup as well as yesterday’s Princess Tag Titles match. She respects her so much that she wants the match to take place on the annual Ittenyon show. There is no better time for Yamashita to avenge those losses.

Hikari Noa will next defend the International Princess Title against the winner of a Battle Royal taking place on 4th December. The participants of the Battle Royal will all be chosen by a fan votes on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. If you are subscribed to WRESTLE UNIVERSE then you can vote here using your name and User ID. Only one vote is allowed per account. Any multiple votes found will invalidate all of your votes. Noa thinks if a wrestler who has not been able to move up a step gets voted into the Battle Royal and wins the title shot, it will be a chance for that person to gain confidence. She will watch the Battle Royal and form her strategy depending on who wins.

The eligible wrestlers you can vote for are Yuki Aino, Yuki Arai, Maki Itoh, Arisu Endo, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Marika Kobashi, Suzume, Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma, Shoko Nakajima, Haruna Neko, Hyper Misao, Pom Harajuku, Moka Miyamoto, Raku and Miu Watanabe. Those excluded from the pool are either the current champions or not in Japan right now.

GANBARE☆PRO “TROPIC THUNDER 2022”, 10/01/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Ken Ohka

For his first Spirit Of Ganbare Title defence, Tatsuhito Takaiwa is wasting no time and nominated Ken Ohka as his challenger. Takaiwa calls Ohka the symbol of Ganpro and since this is a Ganpro title there is nobody more fitting to get the first shot. If he can’t beat Ohka then he thinks there was no point in becoming the champion.

October 24, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~”, 24/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).
2. Gouma & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned Kazato with a Diving Body Press (6:16).
3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.

BASARA “BASARA 171 ~GLITTER~” Results

September 28, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 171 ~GLITTER~”, 28/09/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano when SAGAT submitted Nakano with a Modified Backbreaker (9:32)
2. Jacket Double Bout: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma defeated Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage when Hiroshi used the Infinite STO on Kazato (R4 1:58).
3. Masato Kamino defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Lariat (13:15).
4. Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Abe submitted Oosugi with the Manjigatame (11:49).
5. Union MAX Next Challenger Decision League – Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (21:02).

Ryota Nakatsu wins the Decision League and will face Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title at Korakuen Hall on 24th October! Nakatsu praised FUMA and admitted he could have lost to him today. Nakatsu called out Tsukamoto and called him really strong. Tsukamoto returned the compliment but told him he isn’t going to win the MAX Title from him. Nakatsu told the fans he and Tsukamoto are both 30 years old and they are going to have a passionate fight at Korakuen.

The 6-Man Tag Match was built around two things. The first was the amount of champions involved in the match. Isami Kodaka, Fuminori Abe and Takuya Nomura all entered carrying belts from several different promotions. The second was Astronauts and Speed Of Sounds facing off to see who is stronger. Abe made Tsutomu Oosugi submit to win the match but asked SOS if they could fight them again on 24th October for the IRON FIST Tag Titles. SOS accepted and Banana Senga said they will show Astronauts the true essence of tag team wrestling.

Toru Owashi attacked Isami Kodaka and Daiki Shimomura after Match #3. He almost Choke Slammed Shimomura onto a pile of chairs but was stopped and kicked out of the venue. As Owashi was leaving he told the Sento Minzoku wrestlers to polish the UWA 6-Man Tag Team Title belts every day because his team are coming to take them on 24th October!

Extra stipulations were added to the Jacket Match after every round. The first round was using regular tag rules, the second turned into a Tornado Tag Match and the third round onwards allowed weapons to be used.

BASARA “BASARA 165 ~GLITTER~” Results

July 27, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 165 ~GLITTER~”, 27/07/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano with a Warior’s Return Turnover (7:24).

5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa when Abe pinned Nakatsu with the Onryo Clutch (16:48).
*V1 for Astronauts.

Astronauts say that the momentum of BASARA and Big Japan cannot be stopped by anything, even by Coronavirus or the Olympics! After failing to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles today, Ryota Nakatsu said he will now focus on regaining the Union MAX Title. That’s not all from Sparky, they want another tag title shot when SAGAT is cleared to wrestle again.

Since the MAX Title match was postponed, Minoru Fujita had to fight Gouma instead. The two ended up fighting outside and Gouma held onto Fujita’s leg long enough for both of them to get counted out. After the match Fujita promised that when he wins the MAX Title, he will first defend it against Masahiro Takanashi. He then told Gouma he will be the second defence afterwards!

On the day of the show, it was announced that Takumi Tsukamoto was no longer considered a close contact to SAGAT and is now free to leave quarantine. However he was still absent from the show because he did not have enough time to travel to the venue.

Isami Kodaka and Takumi Tsukamoto were both in close contact with him during the period and will also miss tomorrow’s show. All three of them will be absent for two weeks so they can self isolate.

The Union MAX Title match has been postponed and Minoru Fujita will face Gouma in a singles match instead. The IRON FIST Tag Titles match has been moved up to the main event with Akiyori Takizawa substituting for SAGAT.

The Double Title match is now just for one championship after Shinya Aoki lost the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at a charity football game DDT was at. Danshoku Dieno is now the current champion. Aoki still has the DDT Extreme Title so that is up for grabs against MAO.
