1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Takato Nakano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Takagari (6:47).
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Masato Kamino defeated Isami Kodaka with the Lariat (7:43).
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takato Nakano with the V Slider (5:15).

5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe when Hidaka submitted Inoue with the Shawn Capture (15:17).
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Lariat (17:16).
Masato Kamino is the last man standing afer winning three matches in the 1-Day Tournament. All of his opponents were former Union MAX Champions too. He beat Isami Kodaka clean in Round 1, survived FUMA’s Crossface Lock to roll him up for a pinfall in Round 2 and outlasted Ryota Nakatsu with a Lariat to the back of the head in the final. The tournament was Kamino’s idea in the first place and he received praise from Takato Nakano (who also beat a former champion in Takumi Tsukamoto before getting eliminated by Nakatsu) for winning it.
Kamino told the fans he wants to get his MAX Title shot at the last BASARA show of the year. Suddenly Minoru Fujita entered the room to everyone’s surprise because he was already wrestling in Shinjuku FACE today. He got in the ring in a hurry and told Kamino they will have the title match at 29th December, which is what Kamino wanted anyway. Fujita wants to end the year with a successful title defence so he can say 2024 was his year from start to finish. Kamino shared a toast with him to confirm the match rather than go through a contract signing ceremony.
Itsuki Aoki now has the distinction of being the first woman to wrestle in BASARA. Her Shawn Capture leader Ikuto Hidaka won their match by using, what else, the Shawn Capture for the submission victory.

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada when Sasaki submitted Takanashi with the Crossover Face Lock (13:57). *V4 for DAMNATION T.A.
With Sumo Hall coming up at the end of the year, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki have a long war ahead of them that’s bringing in almost everybody with attachment to either SCHADENFREUDE International or DAMNATION T.A. Today’s battle was over the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and quickly turned into a brawl around ringside. Sasaki and Brookes attacked each other with chairs while MJ Paul fell victim to a balcony length rubber band attack. KANON bested Takeshi Masada in their face off and left the match to the two unit leaders. Brookes had Sasaki beaten with the Praying Mantis Bomb but the pin was interrupted by DAMNATION T.A pulling the ref out of the ring. Ilusion then interfered but Munetatsu Nakamura came after him to even the odds. More chaos broke out with Demus and Antonio Honda getting in on the action. When things finally calmed down, DAMNATION T.A isolated Masahiro Takanashi and picked him apart. Sasaki countered the Takatonic with the Implant and then he gave Brookes a Low Blow. Sasaki & KANON then did the Freedom Call to Takanashi and he was then choked out by Sasaki’s Crossover Face Lock to give the champions the win.
After the match Sasaki told Brookes he and SCHADENFREUDE are nothing special. Love, romance and dreams are powerless before Sasaki! He only works for championships and the KO-D Openweight Title will definitely be his. Sasaki will be the last man standing in Sumo Hall on 28th December. He then said backstage there is a reason why he hasn’t challenged for the KO-D Title in four years but he won’t reveal it today. Instead he wants everyone to know he will be the one to bring the KO-D Title to Las Vegas next April. Brookes said there are plenty more matches to come in the next month and he will defend the title at Sumo Hall.
The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a “Forbidden Battle” between Danshoku Dieno and Yuni. For five minutes of the match Yuni benefitted from “Cinderella Time” that meant Dieno would be immediately disqualified if he used any of his lewd moveset against him. However once that time ran out, the ban was lifted and the match would continue with no DQs whatsoever. Yuni wanted to win quickly so he went for high risk moves from the get-go while Dieno kept stopping himself from using his typical attacks. Time ran out though and Dieno instantly took over the match. Yuni eventually fought fire with fire by giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then hit two Moonsaults followed by the Fireball Splash. Dieno was still in the match so Yuni went for a Phoenix Splash. Dieno rolled out of the way, applied the Lip Lock, did the Danshoku Driver and then used a Triangle Choke to win.
Yuni refused to shake Dieno’s hand after the match. Backstage Dieno called him a rival and warned him not to get tripped up by everyone who just treats him as a high school student. That’s not just in pro wrestling but in life too. Yuni is only going to get stronger from here so Dieno doesn’t want to see him get spoiled and pampered just because he is in high school. Yuni understands that and appreciates that Dieno treated him like a pro wrestler. He thinks today was a rite of passage for him on the way to winning the Extreme Title and also the KO-D Title while he is still in high school. Next up for Dieno is an unexpected opponent for 28th December. It was announced after the show he will face Great-O-Khan at Sumo Hall!
Thanks to Shunma Katsumata’s ACL injury the KO-D Tag Team Titles were vacated earlier this week and today’s title match was cancelled. The replacement match was still The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING but as a 6-Man Tag Match instead. Yuya Koroku was frustrated to have his title shot taken away from him so he wanted to make an example out of To-y. That ended up being a mistake. Thanks to some teamwork from Yuki Ueno & MAO, To-y ended up pinning Koroku with the Kojima Impact! Koroku couldn’t believe it but still said after the match he will not give up on chasing after the KO-D Tag Titles. To-y said he has just as many frustrations as Koroku because he was fighting for Katsumata when he really wants to win the KO-D Tag Title himself. The two argued about having a rematch until Hisaya Imabayashi came up with an idea. Tetsuya Endo & Koroku will face MAO & To-y at Sumo Hall with the vacant KO-D Tag Titles on the line! Endo talked down to Koroku backstage because he thought every point To-y made was right and he outperformed Koroku on the microphone. Of course wrestlers perform for the fans but they still need to have an ego because a pro wrestler in an embodiment of their ego. Meanwhile Yuki Iino talked about his upcoming match with Tomohiro Ishii on the 22nd December Korakuen show. He thinks Sumo Hall is where all of BURNING can regain their momentum going into the new year.
Akito wanted to have a match with Isami Kodaka for his 15th Anniversary because Kodaka was one of his seniors who helped him so much throughout his career. The two had a back and forth match that included a little trick from Akito where he used the ref as a shield. However Kodaka got the better of him by doing a Brainbuster and then pinning him down legs over shoulders to get the three count. Akito thanked him for the match and suggested they wrestle again for his 20th Anniversary. Kodaka said he would be on his 27th Anniversary by then so they should make the match the main event instead of putting it in the middle of the card.
There was a 6-Man Tag Match that was there to put the focus on Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya but its attention was stolen away by the end of it. HARASHIMA & Tomomitsu Matsunaga did well to control Shinya Aoki until Aoki trapped Matsunaga in the Full Nelson Hold to get the three count. When the dust was settling, Akiyama and Naya had a staredown outside the ring, getting themselves ready for Sumo Hall. However Aoki then got on the microphone to talk about something completely different…
One of the many matches Aoki has been trying make happen this year is a bout against Kenoh from NOAH. Aoki told the fans in Korakuen Hall that on 1st January he will go to NOAH’s Budokan Hall show to have a match with Kenoh! That claim brought the actual Kenoh down to ringside where he angrily denied the match is going to happen. Aoki then asked him if they should have a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show instead? Kenoh told him he would never climb back into DDT’s cheap and dirty ring. He respects the MMA version of Aoki but not the DDT version. He then ordered the NOAH rookie Yu Owada to have a match with Aoki right now! Aoki pinned Owada in seconds with the Full Nelson Hold. Then Keigo Nakamura got on the microphone asking to fight Kenoh for insulting the DDT fans. A brawl broke out between the four wrestlers and ended with Kenoh agreeing to a match at Sumo Hall. It will be Aoki & Nakamura against Kenoh & Owada!
Earlier in the day before the show began, Kazuki Hirata assaulted Yuki Ueno with a ring bell hammer to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He then brought the hammer with him to fight off his six opponents in the Handicap match put together to celebrate his 37th birthday. Since it was his birthday he said the match was No DQ so he was allowed to bash everyone over the head with the hammer. Ueno then returned and pleaded Hirata to stop because this isn’t how is usually behaves. To try and win Hirata back, Ueno put on the Hirata GO! glasses and got the other wrestlers to dance with him. Hirata saw the light and joined in… until Ueno put him in a Sleeper Hold and Yoshihiko pinned him with the Reincarnation to become the champion.
Hirata was still in the ring when the O-MENZ dancer Kumadori entered the ring to talk to him. He thinks Hirata is a good dancer so they should have a dance battle. But when it began Kumadori pushed Hirata down and showed off his breakdance moves. Hirata praised his skill and admitted he cannot beat him in either dancing or wrestling. He then offered to team up with Kumadori for the dancer’s debut at Sumo Hall. The two agreed and their match will be against Makoto Oishi & Akito.
DAMNATION T.A had a good day at Korakuen. There was the title defence in the main event and also a tag victory in the opener. Demus & Ilusion didn’t take long to beat Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi. It fell apart for the losing team when Nakamura aimed a Super Kick for Ilusion that was ducked and hit Sumi instead. Demus took the opportunity to pin Sumi with La Valagueza after that.
DDT usually makes their news announcements at the start of the show but today they waited until two matches were completed first. Sanshiro Takagi gave an update that he is not ready to return to the ring yet. However he still has a special idea to celebrate his 30th Anniversary in wrestling next year. He will be producing his own show at Shinjuku FACE called “NEVER SAY NEVER” but the catch is nobody under DDT contract will be booked for it. Instead he will rely on his connections with freelancers and wrestlers from other companies to fill up the card. The first match announced for the show is Toru Owashi & Dump Matsumoto Vs The Brahman Brothers! Takagi’s goal is to come up with an unbelievable card of matches.
The NωA idol project is back with Oishi’s handpicked members deciding on their new group name. Katsumata, Yuni & Sumi will now be called NωA Jr. whenever they perform together as idols. Their debut song and CD will be unveiled at Sumo Hall. Sumi admitted he hasn’t practiced the song yet but he’s still all set for the debut.
Yesterday came the sad news that Yusuke Okada was going to retire from pro wrestling. He is still recovering from his cancer and is unable to get back to the condition needed to start wrestling again. Today is officially the date of his retirement and he got to give a speech to the fans during the show. He told the fans his treatment is going well and he is feeling fine but he thought about this decision a lot. He wrestled for 8 years and 4 of them were with DDT. He has met the best teammates and fans and will support DDT as a fan himself from now on. Takagi and Akiyama presented him with bouquets of flowers and Okada met with many wrestlers outside the ring for his exit. Included among them were Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura. Backstage Okada said he would like to still be involved with DDT in some way.
DDT announced they will be part of two shows at Las Vegas next April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week. “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!” will be held on 18th April (same day as the Tokyo Joshi Pro show) and “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” will be on the 19th.
BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~”, 17/11/2024 Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. FUMA defeated Takeru Inoue with a Stretch Muffler Hold (10:57).
2. 4 Way Match: Daiki Shimomura defeated Daichi Kazato, Yasu Urano and Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:48).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated KUBITO with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:18).
4. Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ryuichi Sekine with La Magistral Cradle (11:17).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Kamino pinned SAGAT with the Lariat (17:24).
After the main event Masato Kamino declared himself the next challenger for the Union MAX Title. However several other wrestlers came out and argued one by one that they should get the title shot instead. Rather than have a Battle Royal to determine the No.1 Contender, Kamino came up with the idea of doing a one day tournament on 29th November. Kamino, Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano, Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka and FUMA are the six wrestlers taking part. Lil’ Kraken also wanted to get involved but everyone else rejected him.
1. Lil’ Kraken defeated Takeru Inoue with the Period. (7:23).
2. Basara Jacket 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sekimoto defeated KUBITO, Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga by TKO when Ryu injured his back giving Sekimoto the Argentine Backbreaker (R3 1:47).
3. SAGAT & Antonio Honda defeated Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi when SAGAT pinned Urano with the Superman Press (14:25).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Tsuki no Ishi (10:19).
5. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida when Kodaka pinned Yoshida with the Modified Samson Clutch (23:12).
On 24th November Isami Kodaka will be challenging Ayato Yoshida for the 2AW Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall. Due to scheduling 2AW were not able to book any prelim matches between the two so BASARA organised one for today. Kodaka’s team went into the match with a small disadvantage because Minoru Fujita wrestled with a dislocated and fractured thumb joint. Yoshida was made to team with Daichi Kazato against his wishes because he had enough of him from his previous BASARA appearance in August. He was right to be concerned because Kazato decided to hurt his own hand before fighting Fujita to make sure it was now an even fight between them. Also Kazato ended up costing Yoshida the match when he missed a Rocket Punch and hit his partner by mistake. Kodaka then put Yoshida in the Modified Samson Clutch for the three count.
Kodaka told Yoshida after the match he will give it his all on 24th November and won’t beat him in a weird way like today. He’s been a champion in many promotions but never for 2AW so he’s looking forward to adding one of their championships to his collection. Fujita also promoted his own match on the show and offered to be in Kodaka’s corner. The two of them allowed Yoshida to close out the show but he got annoyed because he doesn’t understand why they would let him do that. He also got angry at the fans booing his closing speech. Backstage Yoshida said BASARA and its fans are all messed up and full of annoying people.
Gouma Ryu’s bad back became a problem for him again. He wanted to put Daisuke Sekimoto in the Argentine Backbreaker but didn’t have the strength to lift him. KUBITO and Banana Senga helped Ryu commit to the move but when Ryu lifted Sekimoto onto his shoulders his back went out and he had to give up the match. Sekimoto wanted to read out a legal indictment out of the match but Senga interrupted him. Senga then revealed the Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial will return next time.
The Period. (the full stop is intentional) used by Lil’ Kraken is a Standing Shining Wizard.

One of their opponents is Daichi Sato, the teenager from HEAT-UP who was also on the short lived DDTeeeen!! shows a couple of years ago. That doesn’t sound threatening at all but Masashi Takeda as Sato’s partner will give that team a fighting chance against the heavyweights.
A battle will break out between Ram Kaichow and Brahman Shu! They have gone forth to gather soldiers under their respective banners and those soldiers may end up looking familiar to everyone in the venue.
Last but not least is an international 6-Man Tag Match where Demus & Ilusion are joined by Anarko Montaña on the DAMNATION T.A side. Facing them is the babyface trio of Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
2. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c/c) Vs Yuni
Akito wanted a special opponent for a match that will celebrate the 15th Anniversary of his debut. When Akito wrestled as a freelancer in Tokyo, Isami Kodaka became a close companion of his. They worked, drank and studied wrestling together. Kodaka was also a big influence for the kind of pro wrestler Akito developed into. Akito credits Kodaka for helping him create the IPPON Lighttube Death Match. However they rarely have the chance to wrestle each other because they are so busy with their jobs in DDT and BASARA respectively. So for Akito’s 15th Anniversary he wants to finally get in the ring with Kodaka again so they can reminisce about old memories while also fighting with the passion from those times.
1. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Takeru Inoue when Senga pinned Inoue after a Running Knee Butt from Oosugi (10:37).
2. Chicharito Shoki defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Floracion (7:22).

It’s been a while since the last time Isami Kodaka won a BASARA main event so he really wanted everyone to know how happy he was when he won the UWA World Tag Team Titles with Hideyoshi Kamitani. As for Kamitani his schedule is going to get even busier because he now has three championships to defend. Kodaka also feels relieved to have beaten Aijin Tag after he failed to beat them for the titles a month ago. Both Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino are catching up to him but it’s thanks to Kamitani he was able to win today. Nakano is upset because he wanted to defend the titles in several different companies but could only do it twice in BASARA. Kamino is thinking about getting stronger as a singles wrestlrs so he can win tag matches by himself. He is also now aiming to surpass Kamitani.

He convinced them to give him another go because this time he has an even more powerful tag partner, Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan. Yesterday Kamitani became the first wrestler ever to hold both the BJW Strong World Heavyweight Title and the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title at the same time so he’s now coming into the match as Big Japan’s Double Crown champ.

This time instead of facing The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Los Angeles they are going to fight Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews in Seattle. In the minds of the champions Vixen & Matthews are a makeshift team being put together to challenge them. However in DEFY they are two rivals attempting to put aside their differences in order to both become champions again.
Zara Zakher has been added to the show. Speaking of Zakher…

It was around four years and eight months ago when Masahiro Takanashi defended the Union MAX Title against Minoru Fujita. It would be the last successful defence of his reign and he would lose the belt a month later by getting injured during his next title match. He never felt like he was beaten for the belt. Fujita meanwhile has been carrying the defeat to Takanashi ever since it happened and wanted the chance to exorcise it. So today’s match was an important title match for both wrestlers. Takanashi can regain the MAX Title and continue from where he was cut off or Fujita beats him properly and avenges his defeat from 2020. Either way Takanashi came to BASARA to finally get some closure.
The match was a bitter fight and Fujita even admitted out loud he waited four years for this. He did the Tombstone Piledriver but Takanashi kicked out of it. Fujita then countered the Takatonic and went for another Tombstone but it was turned into a Cradle for a nearfall. The two wrestlers kept countering Cradle moves on each other until Fujita pinned down Takanashi with the Modified Samson Clutch for the three count. Fujita said he worked really hard for this win which is why he is really happy about it. He and Takanashi now both have one win against each other. Takanashi said they could settle their score with a drinking contest in the ring. The two did just that with Takanashi finishing his drink before Fujita could. Fujita called Takanashi an irreplaceable friend who is always there for him. Also Fujita now has the record for most MAX Title defences in a single reign.
Daichi Kazato tried using a lot of unusual rolling moves to confuse Billy Ken Kid but in the end Kid was able to roll Kazato onto his shoulders and pin him down for the victory.
Even though Isami Kodaka lost to Masato Kamino he asked him for a UWA World Tag Team Titles shot after the match. Kodaka also said Hideyoshi Kamitani will be his partner because they haven’t teamed together in a while. Kamino accepted the challenge for 22nd October and said Aijin Tag won’t lose to a hastily made team.
At the start of the show FUMA and Gouma Ryu started talking about their careers outside of wrestling (hunter and lawyer respectively) and started getting along even though they were supposed to be opponents later. KUBITO then called Ryu a part-time wrestler which Ryu found insulting. FUMA & Ryu both wouldn’t stand for it so they decided to change their 6-Man Tag Match into a Handicap match. The two of them were now teaming up against the other four wrestlers! During the match Ryu kept getting ganged up on by his opponents and FUMA got tired of saving him. FUMA walked out of the match leaving Ryu to fight by himself. Through sheer luck Ryu fought off his opponents and climbed the top rope to hit a big finish on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. FUMA then reappeared at the entrance armed with his hunting rifle and he shot Ryu. Ryu ended up falling on top of Hiroshi anyway and scored the pinfall.

5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Kamino pinned Sekine with the Lariat (15:33). *V1 for Aijin Tag.
The main event was held under No Tag Rules. Aijin Tag defeated Sento Minzoku to retain the UWA World Tag Team Titles. The win tasted sweet for Masato Kamino because he pinned Ryuichi Sekine for the victory. Takato Nakani also spoke highly of Sekine and Isami Kodaka joked about how everything today is about Sekine. Aijin Tag would like to continue defending the UWA Tag Titles against more wrestlers from different promotions. Nakano wants to wreck havoc across the indies but Kamino would rather go do it in New Japan.
Masahiro Takanashi suddenly made his entrance at the end of the show while the others were still in the ring. He introduced himself as the 13th Union MAX Champion and was here to settle something that happened in BASARA four years ago. Minoru Fujita knew what he was talking about. He challenged Takanashi for the MAX Title in February 2020 and lost to him. But it was from that point on when everything clicked for Fujita. Since then he has won several championships, was crowned as the MVP of the Japanese indies, fell so gravely ill that he almost died, made a miraculous recovery and came back to wrestling to win more championships. There is one achievement left for him and that is to avenge his loss against Takanashi! Fujita and Takanashi will fight for the MAX Title on 11th October.
The BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro match got heated. First Yumehito Imanari attacked Ryota Nakatsu before the bell. Nakatsu responded by chasing after him with his baseball bat. Nakatsu also got intense with Mizuki Watase whenever they were facing off. The finish was Imanari pinning Lil’ Kraken with a Lariat but after the end Kraken got back up and attacked Imanari until they were kept apart.
Kota Sekifuda was a last minute replacement for Takeru Inoue in the opening match. Inoue had a fever and was unable to wrestle.
