No Repeat Rule, Takeshita And Chihiro Back Against Each Other, VENYU Finale

August 28, 2026

DDT “LAST SUMMER STANDING ~SUMMER’S RECKONING~”, 30/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
1. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi & Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama & Fuminori Abe
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
4. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title ~ A One Time Trump Card -NO REPEAT RULE-: Shunma Katsumata (c/c) Vs Kumadori
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato

The stakes for the match between Shunma Katsumata and Kumadori have suddenly grown higher. Katsumata recently won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so he now has to defend that belt alongside the DDT Extreme Title. He also decided on the match stipulation where he and Kumadori are not allowed to repeat their moves. The match can be won either under normal circumstances, by throwing your opponent over the top rope out of the ring or if they get disqualified for doing the same move twice. However striking moves are generic enough to not count towards the stipulation so Kumadori can at least rely on punching and kicking to make up for his limited moveset.

The Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders going into this weekend’s show are Chris Brookes (Red) and Antonio Honda (Purple AAAA).

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAGAWA IN BOATRACE TAMAGAWA”, 02/09/2026

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata

A scheduling conflict with Yuki Iino has pulled him off the show. Soma Takao replaces him in the opening match.

4. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & To-y Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Kazuma Sumi
5. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

Why did it take seven years to run back Konosuke Takeshita Vs Chihiro Hashimoto? Okay, okay, I know. He’s been busy with AEW and New Japan while every time Hashimoto came to DDT it was to fight either Yuki Iino or Shinya Aoki. But hey we get To-y and Kazuma Sumi get thrown into the mix as well.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026” Results

August 15, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
576 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga, Shota Kawakami & Guts Ishijima defeated Keisuke Ishii, Sentaro Motoshima & SUSHI when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with the FOX・JUMP・OVER (8:37).
2. Rydeen Hagane defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Moonsault Press (6:55).
3. Yumehito Imanari defeated Hyo Ogawa with the Lariat (8:33).
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Masashi Takeda defeated Isami Kodaka, Chris Brookes & Fuminori Abe when Ohka pinned Kodaka with the Flame Spear (12:20).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) when Katsumura submitted Wada with the Modified Ninja Choke (11:47).
*The Deadlock fails in V3. Sussun Katsun become the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team champions!
6. Yamazaki Electric Presents – Special Single Match: Takumi Iroha defeated YuuRI with the Running Three (14:23).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Elbow To You, Dear (23:18).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event brought back the days of RENEGADES with Mizuki Watase entering the ring wearing a suit to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Shigehiro Irie. It was a match where Watase surpassed his close friend, almost knocking him out with Elbow Strikes. He also used a version of the Venetian that looked a lot like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on the same day that Hiroyoshi Tenzan was retiring from wrestling. Irie was still conscious from the strikes and had enough whereabotus to tell the referee not to stop the match. Instead, Irie continued to take the blows for one last stand until he fell towards Watase. He was caught and Watase thanked Irie before knocking him down with one last Elbow Strike and pinning him to win.

Watase thanked Irie again after the match and joked he can bring him to Disney Land sometime. Watase is proud to say everything he learned in wrestling was taught to him by Irie and he will become the greatest masterpiece Irie has ever trained. Irie didn’t want to take the credit and told Watase he did it all by himself. He remembers a beautiful show they saw together at Disney Land that featured a line once said by Walt Disney: “It’s just been a sort of dress rehearsal, and we’re just getting started.” Watase and Irie are only just getting started too. Later backstage Irie described the match as a “Dramatic Dream”. Watase understands that and does not forget where the two of them came from.

Takumi Iroha had been looking forward to her first singles match with YuuRI today. She always thought she had a knack for wrestling and the pre-match comments from YuuRI about surpassing her idol sounded kind of scary to her. Iroha is used to younger wrestlers who pick fights with her having a chip on their shoulder but she found it refreshing to see YuuRI express herself without trying to act cool about it. Iroha enjoyed wrestling her today and looks forward to crushing her again and again. YuuRI said she would give it her all to start a big revolution today but it didn’t happen. But if her performance motivated the fans to work harder then she can accept that result with no regrets.

New champions were crowned earlier in the show when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated The Deadlock to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Katsumura & Susumu also now have the team name Sussun Katsun. The MMA fighting vibes were felt throughout the match when Tyson Maeguchi pulled a tyre out to lure Katsumura into a Tyre Boxing fight. However the referee refused to let that happen and got rid of it. Katsumura ended up putting Takuya Wada into a Ninja Choke and tapped him out while Susumu held back Maeguchi in a Crossface. The Deadlock have said they want to remain a team after losing the titles but they may also go fight each other in a singles match to push each other into improving more.

After the match, Katsumura said there is no other 50 year old like him. Susumu can’t say that because he is 43. Sussun Katsun then opened themselves up to be challenged by anybody. Rydeen Hagane walked out to answer their call followed by her opponent earlier in the night Moeka Haruhi. The two decided they have to be the first challengers for the new tag champions. Katsumura & Susumu attempted to cheap shot them but Hagane knocked the both of them down with a Double Lariat. She and Haruhi then posed with the title belts. Backstage Haruhi described her team with Hagane like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also said she is the original Ganbare☆Joshi, having first appeared in GanPro during its debut year in 2013 as Gorikiko. So she thinks she definitely deserves to be a champion here!

Ken Ohka felt like he had a great day today. He took on a rare double booking at Korakuen Hall where he won both matches. First he beat Yumi Ohka in a Ohka Contra Ohka match that main evented a WAVE show (Yumi now cannot use the name Ohka for the next two and a half months) then later here in GanPro he scored the winning fall in a 6-Man Tag Match that continued the celebration of his 25th Anniversary in wrestling. Even more impressive, he pinned Isami Kodaka to get that second win. Now he’s feeling so good about this anniversary he wants to hold a third match to celebrate it and challenged Yumehito Imanari. However, Imanari got angry at the idea because he thinks Ganbare☆Pro has been relying too much on anniversaries in general lately to book their matches instead of coming up with other storylines. It’s annoying enough that Ohka wants a third commemorative match to begin with.

Today was the final GanPro show for referee Nido Teshima. He is the referee for TTT Pro Wrestling and will be retiring on 1st September, 2027 but today was his last appearance in GanPro. The roster gifted Teshima with a bouquet and celebrated with him to end the show.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~” Results

August 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Seiya Morohashi defeated Daiki Shimomura, Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Inoue with the Atomic Bomb (11:32).
2. Grace Project Presents – 3-Way 6-Man Tag Match: SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Captain Grace, Yusaku Ito & Violento Jack and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Dynamic Bomb (9:16).
3. Ayato Yoshida defeated Daichi Kazato with the Leg Clutch Back Drop (12:39).
4. Dosukoi no Tsudoi Presents: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shunma Katsumata with the V Slider (13:58).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Nakano pinned Kodaka with the Takagari (15:15).
*V5 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title – Clutch Supporters Association Presents: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa (c) with the Zudon (18:41).
*Shuji Ishikawa fails in V5. Takumi Tsukamoto becomes the 25th Union MAX Champion!

After eight months the Union MAX Title is now back around the waist of a BASARA wrestler. Takumi Tsukamoto kicked out of the Giant Driver and went on to pin Shuji Ishikawa with the Zudon to cause the title change. There were no hard feelings over the result and Ishikawa wrapped the title around Tsukamoto after the match. The new champion said when he stepped into the ring today it felt like his opponent was 4 metres tall but a real man always wants to hunt the big ones. Tsukamoto told Ishikawa he was the first person he ever had a Lighttube Death Match with and today he is happy to beat him in an important Korakuen Hall main event. He also thanked him for doing his part to make BASARA more exciting over the last year.

Tsukamoto invited the rest of the BASARA locker room into the ring for the closing speech. Ryota Nakatsu brought up the upcoming closure of Shinjuku FACE next month and reminded everyone the venue held BASARA’s first show ten years ago. He challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title at BASARA’s final show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd September. However, Daiki Shimomura interrupted him and said that date is still a while away. He brought up how he was the only person to beat Tsukamoto in Tsukamoto’s 7-Match Trial last month so he should be getting a title shot first. Tsukamoto agreed to put the MAX Title on the line against Shimomura in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 21st August. The winner and therefore the champion will then go on to defend the title against Nakatsu at September’s Shinjuku FACE show.

Aijin Tag are marching on towards their goal of breaking the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles record for most defences. They are now at five wins after beating Yankee Two Kenji. The win came from Masato Kamino giving Isami Kodaka a Lariat before Kodaka could lift up Takato Nakano for a Power Bomb. Then while Kamino took care of Yuko Miyamoto, Nakano climbed the top turnbuckle and hit the Takagari on Kodaka for the three count. Kamino called it a decisive win which means Aijin Tag has now surpassed Yankee Two Kenji! Miyamoto admitted the goal he and Kodaka put forth today was quite high for them to reach. They’re both becoming old men but they are still going out there because they are strong.

Former rivals and classmates from the DNA days met each other again when Nakatsu took on Shunma Katsumata. Since this match was happening in BASARA that meant Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet was not on the line (the rule was changed to being DDT exclusive a few years ago). The match came close to ending in a Double Knockout but they both got back up to continue fighting until Nakatsu won by using the V Slider. Nakatsu later said he was really grateful that Katsumata wrestled here today given that he is also booked for a DDT show in Osaka later this evening. He thinks it was fun to have two people who have worked so hard in the last ten years clash against each other.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 24, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (9:10).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (15:02).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with a Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:01).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Rear Naked Choke (7:58).
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Miyamoto pinned Nakano with the Moonsault Press (16:22).

20 years of connective bonds and experience between Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto was the difference maker in today’s BASARA main event. While the result focuses more on Yankee Two Kenju beating Aijin Tag, it was Ishikawa who got on the microphone afterwards to ask Takumi Tsukamoto thinks he really can climb the mountain and win the Union MAX Title? Tsukamoto said he can do it but Ishikawa warned that Tsukamoto will feel the pain to the fullest on 2nd August. Isami Kodaka then asked Aijin Tag if they really think they fought like champions today? Takato Nakano said the only reason why Kodaka is standing out right now is because Yuko Miyamoto is with him. Kodaka claimed that even though he is a BASARA wrestler, on 2nd August he will be wrestling like an outsider with Miyamoto.

Ryota Nakatsu called his match with Thanomsak Toba a warm up for the Shunma Katsumata bout on 2nd August. With the Korakuen Hall show coming up, Nakatsu spoke to media after the show and talked about last summer’s BASARA show at Korakuen. That was when BASARA management went through a change and while they were worried about the state of the company, they ended up drawing their largest crowd in history. This year Nakatsu thinks his hunger for success has diminished a little and the company still isn’t stable yet but everyone there is giving it their all. He won’t know how the Korakuen show will go until he sees the results of everyone’s hard work.

Where’s The One Wish Willow When You Need It?

July 17, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga

5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Chris Brookes
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Unfortunately Willow Nightingale’s flight was cancelled and Tokyo Joshi Pro were unable to rearrange her travel plans to get her to the show in time so her match with Mizuki has been cancelled. Mizuki will now be facing Chris Brookes tomorrow in a last minute attempt to find Mizuki a big name opponent. Given that Nightingale teased doing an angle with Thekla while in Japan (Thekla is over there as part of the AEW–Stardom relationship) I don’t know if this means her entire trip was cancelled or just her TJPW booking.

Normally when a TJPW rookie has her debut match in a tag team bout she enters to the music of her senpai tag partner. However Shion Kanzaki has given her approval to let Momo Sato enter the match to her own theme song for her debut.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTTOIKE 2026”, 19/07/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Junta Miyawaki, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

Shunma Katsumata has the Red Gauntlet, Masami Inahata has the Blue Gauntlet and Ilusion has the Purple Gauntlet that lets him cash in on either of the other two.

The Nagoya show is sold out.

Osaka Umeda Stella Hall

1. East Vs West Showdown: Daichi Sato (Kanagawa), KANON (Ishikawa), Viento Levante (Iwate) & Hinata Kasai (Kanagawa) Vs Yuni (Osaka), Yuki Ishida (Kumamoto), Rukiya (Osaka) & Masami Inahata (Osaka)
2. East Vs West Showdown: Shunma Katsumata (Chiba) & To-y (Saitama) Vs Kazuma Sumi (Mie) & Junta Miyawaki (Kagawa)

An entire show of DDT matches pitting the roster from the east side of Japan against everybody from the west side. Among the match is one where Soma Takao & Shota reunite as ROMANCE DAWN.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs X
2. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs X & X
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO)
4. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & DOUKI Vs Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo
5. Special Single Match: YAMATO Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
7. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

Antonio Honda claims he only picked Tetsuya Endo as his tag partner because it would make the match against Daisuke Sasaki & DOUKI more exciting. However Endo has history with both Honda and Sasaki. He used to be in DAMNATION with Sasaki and isn’t impressed with what Sasaki has been doing lately. Endo also used to be in Happy Motel with Honda and this match will be the first time in about a decade when the two will be teaming up together.

Either paleyouth are going to break the record of most KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title defences or Viento Levante will find redemption over his decision to keep his luchador gimmick.

BASARA’s recent tournament ended with Takumi Tsukamoto becoming the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He said he will stop Shuji Ishikawa from being the champion for the next ten years because that means Ishikawa will be holding onto the belt until he is sixty.

A big name tag team is reuniting in BASARA, giving Aijin Tag a big target to take down in order to prove they are the promotion’s best ever duo. Isami Kodaka has stopped his recent losing streak while Yuko Miyamoto is all of a sudden getting a couple of title matches in different places. We should pay attention because Yankee Two Kenju might be back and better than ever.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 23, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with a Spinning Cradle (5:44).
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: Lil’ Kraken defeated FUMA with the Period. (8:03).
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue when Kodaka pinned Kamino with a Modified Cradle (11:33).
4. 3 Vs 4 Vs 2 Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga& Gouma Ryu and Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano when Nakatsu submitted Ryu with an Armbar (7:25).
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Dragon Kicker (13:08).

Out of all the BASARA wrestlers who want to be the next challenger for Shuji Ishikawa, it is Takumi Tsukamoto who is the last one standing. He used Daiki Shimomura’s Hurricanrana against him to get a three count and advance to the final. Meeting him there was Lil’ Kraken who scored an upset win over FUMA earlier in the show. Tsukamoto beat him down and almost won by countout but Kraken made a last gasp comeback. That wasn’t enough though and Tsukamoto put him away with the Dragon Kicker to win the tournament. He will now face Ishikawa for the Union MAX Title on 2nd August. He heard that Ishikawa wants to remain champion for ten years Tsukamoto will not allow that to happen because that would mean Ishikawa is champion until he’s 60!

Isami Kodaka got to beat his recent string of bad results in BASARA although he was in a tired heap by the end of his match. He got to pin Masato Kamino by dodging his Lariat and then cradling him for the three count. Kamino was pissed off to lose to someone that was pretty much beaten, so much so that Takato Nakano joked he was lying dead on the mat. Kodaka said there is nothing wrong with collapsing after a match and there is nothing wrong about getting old either. After all, he thought Takato & Kamino were both young and here they are already turned 30. He then announced he invited a friend to come to the 2nd August show and the two of them would like to fight Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Kodaka’s partner is going to be Yuko Miyamoto! Aijin Tag accepted the challenge because it will be their chance to surpass Yankee Two Kenju!

The 3 Way Trios match was changed into a irregular 3 Way Match because of Gouma Ryu. He decided to team with the other members of WizRYU instead of Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano. So the match ended up being between one team of three wrestlers, one team of four wrestlers and one team of two wrestlers.

The 2nd August show will be at Korakuen Hall and Ryota Nakatsu revealed he is trying to put together a special match with an outside wrestler. BASARA have already decided which wrestler they want to appear but have not made an offer to them yet. But according to Nakatsu it is somebody he has not wrestled many singles matches against and he would consider this person to be a rival of his.

BASARA “BASARA 308 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 9, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 308 ~UTAGE~”, 09/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shuji Ishikawa, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Takeru Inoue, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Ishikawa pinned Inoue with the Fire Thunder (8:53).
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Isami Kodaka with the Zudon (6:25).
3. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 1: FUMA defeated Daichi Kazato with the Armbar (9:01).
4. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1: Daiki Shimomura defeated SAGAT with a Samson Clutch (4:23).
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 1: Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Period. (10:04).
6. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda when Kamino pinned Hiroshi with the Lariat (14:31).
*V4 for Aijin Tag.

Aijin Tag are on fire at the moment. They are also fully prepared this time if any team out there tries to steal the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles from them. No new challengers stepped forward so Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino were free to celebrate with some energy drinks. Kamino decided to raise a toast for muscles because softness cannot overcome hardness. Nakano thinks he tried to make something up on the spot and that was all he could come up with. Backstage, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi apologized to Ayumu Honda for losing the match. Honda whispered something in his ear and according to Hiroshi, Honda said he must push himself hard until he is peeing blood.

The tournament semi finals on 23rd June will be Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura and FUMA Vs Lil’ Kraken. Tsukamoto beat Isami Kodaka in a short match but needed to hit his finisher twice to pin him. Daichi Kazato showed respect to FUMA because of their previous connection in Asian Kung Fu Revolution. He referred to FUMA by his surname Tsumaki and said he helped create the Daichi Kazato that exists today. Shimomura beat SAGAT with the Samson Clutch but SAGAT protested to the ref he kicked out before three. Shimomura calls it a messy win but only the result matters to him right now. Kraken said he’s been getting into shape and doing other things to prepare himself, although he considers luck may have played a part in him beating Ryota Nakatsu. Still, he won the match and is going to celebrate by visiting a famous hot spring in Utsunomiya.

Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed to see Kodaka get knocked out in the first round. Tsukamoto is also noticing that Kodaka has been losing his momentum lately and thinks he should be able to do more. Kodaka said he isn’t going to give up because he never gives up easily. In Ishikawa’s mind none of this matters because he decided he is going to hold onto the Union MAX Title for ten years.

Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament

June 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 308 ~UTAGE~”, 09/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1A: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Isami Kodaka
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1B: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura
3. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 1A: FUMA Vs Daichi Kazato

6. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda

Normally around this time of year BASARA would hold their annual Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. This might still be it but they have not branded the competition as such so far. Instead Shuji Ishikawa wants the BASARA locker room to figure out for themselves who should get the next Union MAX Title shot. There are eight challengers, which isn’t enough to do a full blown Chouten playoff. Every match in the first round will have a 15 minute time limit. In the case of a draw happening, both wrestlers will be eliminated.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 2: Winner Of Round 1A Vs Winner Of Round 1B
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 2: Winner Of Round 1A Vs Winner Of Round 1B
3. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B

The time limit of the semi finals will be 20 minutes each. The double elimination rule for a draw will still be in effect for that round. The final will have no time limit in the hopes of guaranteeing a winner. Imagine the company going through all that trouble just to balls it up at the last hurdle.

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~” Results

May 29, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Yuya Susumu & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Gouma Ryu when Sugiura pinned Ryu with the Right Elbow With Model Six Laws (6:39).
3. FUMA defeated Seiya Morohashi with an Armbar (0:14).
3a. Rematch: FUMA defeated Seiya Morohashi with an Armbar (10:05).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida when Hiroshi pinned Kazato with the Perfect Plex (10:15).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Urano after the Aijin III (17:11).
*V3 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated SAGAT with the Running Knee Lift (14:24).
*V4 for Shuji Ishikawa.

With another Union MAX Title defence under his belt, Shuji Ishikawa is finding more wrestlers coming forward to challenge him. SAGAT asked if he could get a rematch soon but Ishikawa told him it is way too soon for him to get another title match. Lil’ Kraken then declared himself the next challenger only for Isami Kodaka to knock him out mid-sentence. Ishikawa then found himself surrounded by five wrestlers: Daichi Kazato, Ryota Nakatsu, Daiki Shimomura, Takumi Tsukamoto and FUMA. Ishikawa joked about being popular lately and wishing the five men were five women instead. He told the group to decide among themselves who the next challenger will be because there are too many of them for him to take on all at once and he only wants to fight the strongest one. They all left to allow Ishikawa to end the show by himself. He talked about being able to hold the MAX Title he was never able to win when Union Pro existed. He will continue to beat strong challengers and continue being the champion for the next ten years until he turns 60!

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi approached Aijin Tag after the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles claiming to have a message from Ayumu Honda. According to Hiroshi, Honda called Aijin Tag a third rate tag team who are not worthy of being champions. Judo is the national sport of Japan so Hiroshi & Honda want to challenge Aijin Tag for the tag titles on 9th June! Hiroshi added that the Iron Fist Tag Title belts would look better next to Honda’s black belt. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino both admitted to feeling banged up after fighting Fujita Pro Wrestling School. Their knees in particular were targeted by the challengers but they’re certain they will be in good shape for the next defence. Yasu Urano called the result a fluke and if the two teams fought each other another ten times, he and Minoru Fujita would win all of those ten matches.

Seiya Morohashi attacked FUMA during his entrance and they brawled around ringside. When they got into the ring and the match officially began, FUMA quickly caught Morohashi in an Armbar to win by submission. Morohashi demanded a rematch but only got it after he gave FUMA a dogeza style apology. Morohashi quickly lost his temper again but the rematch went ahead without controversy and FUMA made him tap to another Armbar. The two bowed to each other after the match and shook hands. They were also complimentary towards each other in their post-match interviews backstage until Morohashi handled FUMA’s deer hide jacket too hard.
