This Thursday’s Korakuen Double Header

March 18, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 91 ~BETTER BREAK~”, 21/03/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Yasu Urano
2. Aiseki Tag Vs Sento Minzoku!: Fuminori Abe & Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita

5. Yoga Vs Stretch! Final Settlement Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Best Stretchman V3, Best Stretchman Amazon & Stretchman Man
6. Steel Can Hardcore Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Jun Masaoka
7. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Isami Kodaka thinks that BASARA has stood in place ever since his injury last September. The solution to get BASARA moving again is for Kodaka to win the Union MAX Title for the fifth time. Ryota Nakatsu disagrees. He remembers from the start everyone did not want BASARA to just be the Isami Kodaka Show. Nakatsu must win so the shift from the Isami Era to the Nakatsu Era is completed.

The Iron Family have become the official ambassadors for Peavey Japan. Peavey is famous for their line of guitar amps and other audio equipment. FUMA and his team will be using a Peavey amp for their entrance. Also the trios match is now a Hardcore Elimination match with the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line.

I think they missed an opportunity for the DISASTER BOX reunion. If you want Shogo Takagi to team with the new gen version of the group wouldn’t it make more sense to team him with Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura? Another idea is replace the ALL OUT team with the Ueno, Yoshimura & HARASHIMA for a full blown DISASTER BOX match.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WE WILL ROCK YOU 2019”, 23/03/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

5. Tiger Vs Dragon: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura

Memories of Union Pro will come flooding back when Ken Ohka and Isami Kodaka face off. Both of them have long and storied histories with the sub-promotion during its ten year existence. Kodaka was there from the start while Ohka arrived six months after him. They have grown and evolved a lot since its closure.

BASARA “BASARA 90 ~UTAGE~” Results

February 26, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 90 ~UTAGE~”, 26/02/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
214 Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Masato Kamino with the Let’s Combine (6:16).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Hiroshi submitted Senga with the Scorpion Deathlock (4:07).
3. FUMA, SAGAT & Trans-Am ★ Ryuji defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Nakano with the Heavy Metal Anthem (10:20).
4. Yusuke Kubo defeated Jun Masaoka with the Wrist Clutch Goro Suplex (11:21).
5. Aiseki Tag Vs Stretchmen!: Fuminori Abe & Ikuto Hidaka defeated Best Stretchman V3 & Best Stretchman Amazon when Hidaka submitted V3 with the Shawn Capture (11:24).
6. Sparky Vs Sento Minzoku!: Isami Kodaka, Minoru Fujita & Daiki Shimomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizara when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with the Isamuashi Zan (14:16).

Although Ryota Nakatsu was pinned by Isami Kodaka, he feels good about today’s turn of events. Today Kodaka wrestled like a man resurrected and Nakatsu can now look forward to defending the Union MAX Title against the best version of Kodaka. It wouldn’t be worthwhile for Nakatsu to beat Kodaka if Kodaka is off his game. When Sparky left, Kodaka asked Ryuichi Sekine to get him a beer. The fans chanted for Sekine and as a joke the music guy played Sekine’s music instead of Kodaka’s to close out the show.

There was no clean fighting from either Yusuke Kubo or Jun Masaoka in their anticipated singles match. Kubo carried an iron pipe with him and threw powder in Masaoka’s face. Masaoka would try to rip apart Kubo’s mask when he was in control of the match. A well placed Lariat from Kubo put him in position to use a move from his past, the Wrist Clutch Goro Suplex, to win. After the match Takumi Tsukamoto entered the ring to check on Masaoka but Masaoka shrugged him off. He told Tsukamoto he’s not in BASARA to make friends. He doesn’t want to team with him, he wants to fight him instead! Tsukamoto told him if that’s what he wants then so be it. But he better be prepared.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi was on trial for allegedly defrauding a yoga instructor into giving him a free lesson during his journey in India. Hiroshi interrupted the proceedings by getting Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga to do yoga with him. Senga stopped because he heard that yoga can be a dangerous because it can expose the human body to disease. Senga showed proof by taking off his shirt and revealing there was eczema across his back from doing yoga last week! Ryu agreed that yoga was unsanitary and the two decided to attack Hiroshi. Hiroshi Clotheslined the both of them and made Senga tap out to a Scorpion Deathlock. Hiroshi then told Senga he wants one final match against the Best Stretchmen on 21st March. His partners will be The Brahman Brothers! Senga accepted the challenge then admitted he actually got eczema from going to a love hotel and getting bitten by a bed bug. He was already gone when the others realised he just admitted to lying in court during the trial.

BASARA “BASARA 89 ~THREE ARROWS~” Results

February 24, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 89 ~THREE ARROWS~”, 24/02/2019
Hiroshima Industry Center West Exhibition Hall
301 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Sparky Vs Sento Minzoku!! Full Confrontation Single Match: Daiki Shimomura defeated Akiyori Takizawa with the Orange Sunset (7:45).
2. Kenshin Chikano defeated Takato Nakano with the Sliding Leg Lariat (6:53).
3. Best Stretchman V3, Best Stretchman Amazon & Stretchman Man defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT & Rey Paloma when V3 pinned SAGAT after the Double Stretch Kick (7:21).
4. Devil Magician & Yuya Susumu defeated Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino when Susumu pinned Kamino with the Front Crash (8:54).
5. Steel Can Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Tsukamoto pinned Kubo with the Zudon (17:54).
6. Sparky Vs Sento Minzoku!! Full Confrontation Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Naoki Tanizaki defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Tanizaki pinned Sekine after the Merged Implant Bomb (16:08).

Ryota Nakatsu & Naoki Tanizaki worked together to put Ryuichi Sekine away with a double team Implant Bomb. Isami Kodaka told Nakatsu he is trying harder as he grows older. Nakatsu said Kodaka misunderstands because Nakatsu’s generation is also doing their best. They are both determined to win the Union MAX Title match at Korakuen Hall on 21st March.

Yuya Susumu wrestles for FREEDOMS. Devil Magician is a local Hiroshima indy wrestler and might be related to Rey Paroma. I’m not sure. Before the show began there was a performance by Sanyo High School’s drum department and the DDT website I think says the mother of Magician and Paroma introduced the band to the audience. I’m unsure if I got that translation correct.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “DON’T STOP ME NOW 2019” Results

February 21, 2019

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “DON’T STOP ME NOW 2019”, 21/02/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
151 Fans

1. Kicking The Soul: Hiroshi Yamato & Nobuhiko Tsurumaki defeated Kouki Iwasaki & Shuhei Washida when Yamato pinned Washida with a Fisherman Suplex (11:50).
2. Ganpro Special Dream Match!: Naoshi Sano defeated Chikara by Referee Stoppage (8:46).
3. There Are Evil Spaces In the Middle Of Ganjo!: Moeka Haruhi Vs Andras Miyagi ended in a Double Countout (2:15).
3a. Rematch: Moeka Haruhi Vs Andras Miyagi ended in a Double Countout (9:21).
4. Are You In A Wrestling Textbook? Yumehito Imanari’s Believe S-Road: Shinjiro Otani defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Spiral Bomb (15:10).
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku ~Fate Reunion! Ohka & Isami!~: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota defeated Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when Ohka pinned Shimomura with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:06).
6. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku ~Fort Of Ganpro~: Minoru Fujita defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Samson Clutch (17:07).

Minoru Fujita grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat in the main event. Keisuke Ishii knocked him off the apron to the floor with the Kneel Kick. But when Ishii got Fujita back into the ring, Fujita caught him in the Samson Clutch to win the match. Afterwards Fujita said that regardless of the current feud between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Sento Minzoku, he was honored to have a singles match with Ishii in Tokyo today. He wants Ishii to stay on his level until the day he dies. Yumehito Imanari came out to challenge Fujita for a rematch. He is now learning from Shinjiro Otani’s pro wrestling textbook and if Fujita is a true pro wrestler, he will agree to a match on 23rd March. Fujita accepted the challenge because he isn’t going to let somebody surpass him just because they read a book written by one of the best wrestlers in Japan.

That’s not the only big match booked for the 23rd. After the semi-main event Ken Ohka called out to Isami Kodaka. At first Kodaka ignored him until Ohka kept screaming at him for a fight, saying it was personal. Kodaka accepts and they will face off on the 23rd!

Imanari learned a lot from wrestling Otani today. In fact Otani said Imanari deserves to read his textbook of pro wrestling. All 165 pages of it. Doesn’t matter if he is strong or weak, cool or bad. A real pro wrestler learns how to go about this sport in their own way.

Andras Miyagi didn’t come to Ganpro to make any friends especially with Moeka Haruhi. They wouldn’t stop fighting each other outside of the ring so they got counted out. A restart was allowed and the match lasted longer this time but it still ended with the same result. This time Haruhi almost entered the ring in time but Miyagi struck her with a chair, knocking her back to the floor in time to be counted out.

The worst thing that could happen to Chikara in the ring took place today. His chopping hand got injured! Thanks to a distracted referee, Naoshi Sano used the ring bell as a shield against Chikara’s Saber Chops. Chikara was in so much pain that the referee had to stop the match and declare Sano the winner. A concerned Mitsuo Momota checked on his son afterwards.

BASARA “BASARA 91 ~BETTER BREAK~”, 21/03/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka

The win-loss record for Sento Minzoku hasn’t been perfect since Isami Kodaka’s return. The Sparky group have been victorious over them a couple of times, enough for Kodaka to shy away from the idea of challenging for the Union MAX Title. However in a twist Ryota Nakatsu approached him for a match with the championship on the line. Nakatsu’s run as champion is approaching a high level of success among the title’s history. A defence against Kodaka will bring it to another level.

BASARA “BASARA 88 ~LIKE A ROSE~” Results

February 10, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 88 ~LIKE A ROSE~”, 10/02/2019
Tokyo Seijo Hall
178 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Jun Masaoka defeated Fuminori Abe, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Masaoka pinned Nakano with a Thrust Kick (13:13).
2. Sakigake!! Iron Family Vs Best Stretchmen Full Scale Single Match: Stretchman Man defeated SAGAT with the Cancun Tornado (8:41).
3. Sakigake!! Iron Family Vs Best Stretchmen Full Scale Single Match: FUMA defeated Best Stretchman Amazon with the Iron Maiden (9:42).
4. Sakigake!! Iron Family Vs Best Stretchmen Full Scale Single Match: Best Stretchman V3 defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with an Axe Bomber (11:01).
5. Yusuke Kubo defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Modified Metal Roll (13:23).
6. Sparky Vs Sento Minzoku!: Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Nakatsu pinned Shimomura with the V Slider (17:55).

Isami Kodaka commended his partner Daiki Shimomura for improving so much and evolving as a wrestler. He also praised Ryota Nakatsu for defending the Union MAX Title three times. Kodaka thought things went so bad for Sento Minzoku today that it was time to leave the ring for Sparky to celebrate. However Nakatsu stopped him and said he wants his next title defence to be against Kodaka! BASARA is returning to Korakuen Hall on 21st March so they decided that is the perfect time to have the match.

Moments after Yusuke Kubo won his match against Ryuichi Sekine, he was attacked by Jun Masaoka! Just like last time Masaoka tried to unmask Kubo. He was stopped by the other members of the Iron Family. Kubo challenged Masaoka to a match on 26th February. Kubo will have turned 32 years old by the match takes place so he warned Masaoka that he will have powered up by one!

The Best Stretch store has been saved! A three match series between the Best Stretchmen and the Iron Family was tied going into the final match. Stretchman Man defeated SAGAT then FUMA beat Best Stretchman Amazon. In the deciding bout Best Stretchman V3 went up against Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. During the match Stretchman’s hood slipped off leading Hiroshi to point out it is really Daichi Kazato under the costume. V3 kicked out of the Riki Lariat and removed his hood again before hitting an Axe Bomber to win the match. The Best Stretchmen celebrated until V3/Kazato called to Hiroshi. As they were fighting he realised that stretching and yoga go along with each other perfectly. The Best Stretch store has some empty slots in its schedule so he made an offer for Hiroshi to teach yoga classes there in his spare time.

BASARA “BASARA 87 ~FEAST~” Results

January 29, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 87 ~FEAST~”, 29/01/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura defeated Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when Sekine submitted Kamino with the Let’s Combine (9:16).
2. Yusuke Kubo & SAGAT defeated Takato Nakano & Jun Masaoka by Disqualification when Masaoka unmasked Kubo (7:54).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Trans-Am ★ Ryuji & Gouma Ryu defeated Best Stretchman V3, Best Stretchman Amazon & Stretchman Man when Hiroshi submitted V3 with a Scorpion Lock (8:53).
4. Steel Can Hardcore Death Match: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated FUMA with the Running Zudon (13:03).
5. Sento Minzoku Vs Sparky!: Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa when Kodaka pinned Takizawa with a Cradle (12:19).
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Fuminori Abe with the V Slider (16:57).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Ryota Nakatsu stands tall after his third Union MAX Title defence. His battle plan for Fuminori Abe was to combat his submission holds with German Suplexes and Buzzsaw Kicks until he could hit the V Slider to win. He didn’t expect to be punched in the face so hard but he has no bad feelings towards Abe over it. Abe said that three years ago they had a match together that he lost. He lost again today but he got more in against Nakatsu this time. Both Nakatsu and Abe praised each other and before Abe left he said he will beat Nakatsu within a year so Nakatsu better be prepared.

Isami Kodaka pinned Akiyori Takizawa with a Cradle thanks to Minoru Fujita giving Takizawa an Enzuigiri from the ring apron as he ran the ropes.

FUMA set up a trap to get the advantage on Takumi Tsukamoto. When it was time for FUMA’s entrance, SAGAT came out instead. While Tsukamoto argued with him, FUMA snuck into the ring and attacked Tsukamoto from behind with a chair. SAGAT stuck around to hit Tsukamoto with a Lariat while FUMA distracted the referee. More chairs were used until the steel cans were brought out. It was all going well for FUMA until he missed the Heavy Metal Anthem, crashing onto the chairs after Tsukamoto rolled out of the way. Tsukamoto hit FUMA with the cans and won with the Running Zudon. The two glared at each other after the match without either saying a word.

The ownership rights of the Best Stretch store was on the line in Match #3. Best Stretchman V3 tried to cancel the stipulation because the store is run independently from DDT but the match went ahead. For the second show in a row Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi channelled Riki Choshu to do the Lariat and the Scorpion Deathlock on V3 to win the match. V3 protested by saying he didn’t give up (he did) then demanded a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match next month. Hiroshi agreed and picked FUMA & SAGAT as his partners. Stretchman Man instead demanded a three match series on the next show. They all agreed to the following three matches: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Stretchman Man, FUMA Vs Best Stretchman Amazon and Best Stretchman V3 Vs FUMA. Whichever side wins the most gets the Best Stretch store!

Things got very heated between Yusuke Kubo and Jun Masaoka during their match. Masaoka targets Kubo’s mask by untying the strings. Then when the match was at its peak, Masaoka grabbed Kubo by the mask and pulled it off! The referee called for a disqualification. Masaoka didn’t care and hit the unmasked Kubo with a Thrust Kick while Kubo was trying to cover his face. Kubo returned fire and gave Masaoka a Back Drop. The two had to be pulled apart by their tag partners but Masaoka had the last say by holding up Kubo’s mask.
