7. Nivea Body Wash Presents Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 2 ~ Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Saki Akai, Maya Yukihi & Asuka Vs Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

The main event is now sponsored by Nivea. They have done a few sponsorship deals with CyberFight events every now and then thanks to Saki Akai. A few years ago she tweeted about what her skincare routine looks like as a pro wrestler which included the use of Nivea products. The tweet went viral, the company saw it and the two parties made contact with each other to do some business together.

In an interview on DDT’s website, Akai brought up the reasons why she chose the wrestlers in her main event. Her and Shoko Nakajima debuted around the same time and actually trained together despite Akai belonging to DDT and Nakajima being attached to the still in development Tokyo Joshi Pro. Akai knows how much TJPW separates itself from the rest of the joshi scene so she wanted to see Nakajima experience what it is like to wrestle with people from other promotions. Rina Yamashita is Akai’s favourite wrestler to have matches with, either as partners or opponents. She is excited to see where Yamashita’s career will go next. When Akai briefly got to wrestle in Stardom back in 2014, Takumi Iroha was the only person in the locker room to greet her. Akai became a fan of hers over the years and wanted to be in the same ring with her. Maya Yukihi is somebody Akai credits for making her the wrestler she is today because of how many times they wrestled each other in the first half of last year. Last but not least, Akai calls Asuka a genius who everyone can see is strong but also works very hard. Akai thinks the atmosphere created in her matches is wonderful and that she has everything important needed to be a wrestler.

All Japan wrestler Suwama told Tokyo Sports yesterday he will be attending this show in order to confront Jun Akiyama. Back in 2017 Suwama took part in an Explosion Death Match with Atsushi Onita. Akiyama was the AJPW president at the time and he criticised Suwama for taking part in the match. So when Suwama heard about Akiyama accepting a challenge from Onita to take part in a similar death match next month, it drove him mad. Suwama is even blaming his failure to win the Triple Crown a few days ago on Akiyama’s hypocritical decision. He got himself a ticket for Korakuen Hall this Sunday to see where the old man Akiyama has been isolating himself all this time.

BASARA “VAJRA 45 ~OSHU BATTLE~” Results

September 4, 2017

BASARA “VAJRA 45 ~OSHU BATTLE~”, 02/09/2017
Sendai City Miyagino Ward Cultural Center
136 Fans

1. SAGAT defeated Takato Nakano with the Trans-Am ★ Recliner (8:12).
2. Single Match With Beef Tongue As Ingredients: Atsushi Maruyama defeated Gouma Ryu by TKO (5:21).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Best Stretchman V3 when Tsumakoto pinned Stretchman with the Zudon (14:22).
4. Sendai Fest: FUMA & Ricky Fuji defeated Yusuke Kubo & Hagane when FUMA pinned Kubo with the Heavy Metal Anthem (14:24).
5. Isami Kodaka 15th Anniversary Memorial Match ~Miyagino Ward~: Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Minoru Fujita & Masamune ended in a Time Limit (30:00).

Isami Kodaka said that the main event felt like it lasted a blink of an eye. He talked about travelling to Puerto Rico for K-DOJO fifteen years ago. When he returned he found out that Minoru Fujita was now his teacher. He’s been learning from him ever since. Ryuichi Sekine wanted to say a few words but Fujita cut him off and told Kodaka to keep his indy wrestler silent. Sekine snapped back and told Fujita he’s an indy wrestler too. Fujita hugged everyone but didn’t look happy doing so.

FUMA got Ricky Fuji as his surprise tag team partner for the IRON PRIEST tag match. FUMA called the match perfect. He also announced Fuji will be a part of FUMA FEST in December.

Gouma Ryu and Atsushi Maruyama fought in a match involving a beef tongue and a 5 point system. Knock downs, rope breaks and beef tongue usage were scored against the wrestlers and the first to reach 5 points would lose. Maruyama won by the skin of his teeth with the beef tongue but wasn’t satisfied by the result. He attacked Gouma again but Gouma trapped him in a Cross Armbreaker until Maruyama tapped out.

BASARA “VAJRA 15 ~50 HUMAN YEARS~” Results

July 3, 2016

basara-vajra50

BASARA “VAJRA 15 ~50 HUMAN YEARS~”, 03/07/2016
Chikusa Culture Small Theater
186 Fans

1. Kazuhiro Tamura defeated Daichi Kazato with the Andre (12:09).
2. Best Phantom Consultation!: The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask No. 4 defeated Ryu Gouma with the Chingemaker (6:43).
3. Tsukasaga Army Vs Kotetsu Gundan: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT by TKO when Kubo knocked out SAGAT with the Snake Setsunawa (14:02).
4. Michio Kageyama, Makoto Hasuka & Hi69 defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto when Hi69 pinned Nakatsu with the Stuka Splash (19:14).
5. Isami Kodaka & Masamune defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Shinya Ishida when Kodaka pinned Ishida with the Zeyyari (21:24).

The result of Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament still stings for Isami Kodaka. He and Masamune refused to shake hands with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Shinya Ishida before the main event. Hiroshi kept rallying the fans by getting them to chant his new name. Fukuda countered Kodaka’s Isamuashi Zan with a Spinebuster but was taken out by Masamune’s WA4. Masamune and Fukuda then wore out Ishida until he couldn’t take anymore. Kodaka shook hands with Masamune afterwards and they promoted Masamune’s show on 14th August. Hiroshi said his birthday is on 15th August, the day America beat Japan in World War 2! Masamune said his birthday just so happens to be on 16th August. Kodaka was surprised by this revelation then went back to arguing with Hiroshi.

Yusuke Kubo used a Choke Sleeper with his legs wrapped around SAGAT’s body to choke him out in Match #3. He wove goodbye to SAGAT as he was helped out of the ring and then joined FUMA to brag about their victory in front of Takumi Tsukamoto. FUMA said they’re on the road straight to Heavy Metal Wrestling. Kubo said their group will become invincible!

Ryu Gouma was all ready and prepared to take on Konoka = Pale One when there was suddenly an announcement about Konoka being unable to appear because of otitis media. A masked man dressed completely in orange walked out and declared himself as Konoka’s replacement. He is called The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask No. 4 and his finisher the Chingemaker involves grabbing the opponent by the crotch and Clotheslining him. Kyohei Wada disallowed the move until Passion explained it was his deathblow. Wada then allowed it. A defeated Gouma is now convinced a great evil has been unleashed upon BASARA. It is now his duty to stop this secret wrestler and bring him to justice!

-. SAGAT (2)

Block B Standings

1. Hiroshi Fukuda (6)
2. FUMA (5)
-. Takumi Tsukamoto (5)
4. Daichi Kazato (4)
5. Ryu Gouma (0)

The group stage of Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ are now over and there are two clear block winners. Isami Kodaka and Hiroshi Fukuda will face each other in the final on 23rd June. Kodaka beat Ryota Nakatsu and Fukuda beat FUMA, both matches determined who would have won the blocks. Ryuichi Sekine was also in the running but he suffered an upset defeat to Yusuke Kubo.

Masamune called Kodaka into the ring after Match #3. He asked Kodaka if he was available on 14th August? Masamune will be running a show in Osaka that day and he wants to team with Kodaka to take on Billiken Kid & HUB! With the audience supporting the idea, Kodaka accepted.

Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT seem to have bonded after their hardcore match. After the bout Tsukamoto asked SAGAT to say his real feelings instead of having Hiroshi Fukuda speak on his behalf. SAGAT just screamed and grunted into the microphone. Tsukamoto said that was nothing to worry about and shook SAGAT’s hand after. SAGAT was a lot calmer in his post-match interview. He said that while he is still with Fukuda under the team name Hiroshi du Soleil, he is open to change and a possible team with Tsukamoto in the future.

Atsushi Maruyama arrived late to the show, appearing at ringside when it began. He and Ryu Gouma did their in-ring warm ups during the show introductions. Gouma wanted revenge on Koji Iwamoto for damaging his statute book on last Friday’s show. Gouma tried to use his book as a weapon but Kyohei Wada blocked him. That allowed Iwamoto to hit the Aloof Art and get the win for his team.

Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall

Block A Standings

Block B Standings

1. Daichi Kazato (4)
2. FUMA (2)
-. Takumi Tsukamoto (2)
4. Hiroshi Fukuda (0)
-. Ryu Gouma (0)

It was an all Cavalry main event in Day 2 of the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Ryuichi Sekine and Ryota Nakatsu had a little friendly argument at the beginning of the show but when the time came it was all serious between them. Nakatsu avoided Sekine’s High Kicks and locked in a Cross Armbreaker to make his stablemate tap out. Nakatsu said fighting Sekine was a painful but interesting experience.

Miyagi wrestler Masamune was the local attraction for this show teaming with Isami Kodaka. Also making his BASARA debut was Masashi Takeda, a former tag partner of Kodaka. After the Masamune said he wasn’t done wrestling in BASARA. Kodaka shook his hand and told the fans to stay tuned for more tag team bouts and even a singles match with Masamune.

There was no messing around for Hiroshi Fukuda when he fought Abdullah Kobayashi in a Hardcore match. He brought out a Singapore cane while Kobayashi carried a paper bag to the ring and took out an Iron Claw. SAGAT helped out Fukuda when he grabbed Kobayashi by the ropes but the plan backfired when Kobayashi ducked a Superman Punch, causing SAGAT to take the hit. Fukuda tried to win with the Perfect Plex onto a chair but it didn’t work. Kobayashi instead gave both Fukuda and SAGAT the Bakachinga Elbow Drop to win. Fukuda laid the blame on SAGAT for the defeat. Kobayashi agreed with him.

In the remaining Heaven Summit matches Daichi Kazato and FUMA both earned points. Kazato is now in the lead of Block B after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. Kazato is now focused on beating FUMA on 13th May. Ever since Union closed he sees their relationship as two brothers fighting with each other. FUMA was happy with his win over Ryu Gouma even though it was by countout. His goal for the league is not just to win but to take over BASARA by force. Gouma’s strategy to win points by countout has not changed even though it isn’t working for him so far.

BASARA “VAJRA 8 ~SPRING PLANTED DO NOT FALL IN VAIN~” Results

April 15, 2016

kodaka-cage

BASARA “VAJRA 8 ~SPRING PLANTED DO NOT FALL IN VAIN~”, 14/04/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
207 Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Koji Iwasaki defeated Kazuaki Mihara & SAGAT when Sekine pinned SAGAT with the Ryusetsu (10:52).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Hi69 and Kikutaro when Gouma submitted Kikutaro with a Ground Cobra Twist (11:58).
3. Hardcore Match: Terry Boy defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold (11:48).
4. Masamune defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Kaminarikiri (13:13).
5. Hardcore Cage 6-Man Tag Team Match: Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Daichi Kazato defeated FUMA, Madoka & Yusuke Kubo when Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Diving Double Knee Drop from the cage (24:50).

BASARA and Kotetsu Gundan went to war in a 6-Man Tag Cage Match. The rules were two members of a team had to escape the cage and the remaining member needed to pin, submit or knock out an opponent to win the match. Kyohei Wada was the man put in charge of the match as all 6 wrestlers entered the cage. Kotetsu Gundan started off in control when Madoka attacked Isami Kodaka with a bamboo sword while his team mates threw their opponents into the cage. Madoka quickly tried to escape but was told to come back down by Yusuke Kubo because it was too early to stop beating up their enemies. Kodaka grabbed the bamboo sword and fired back at the Kotetsu team. Takumi Tsukamoto’s Superplex to Madoka was blocked but when Madoka followed up with a Missile Dropkick he was whacked in mid-air with a massive hammer. Tsukamoto took the opportunity to be the first wrestler to escape the cage. Kotetsu Gundan regained control because of the numbers advantage. Madoka gave Daichi Kazato a Fire Thunder onto a table. It didn’t break but Madoka didn’t care. He escaped the cage to make it 4 wrestlers left in the ring. Kazato was next to climb the cage but took a moment to decide if he should escape or Moonsault back onto everyone in the cage. Kazato went with the Moonsault and hit his target. Even better, Kazato had enough time to recover and crawl out of the cage through the door. Kodaka was the last man on his team so he couldn’t escape to win. FUMA ordered Kubo to escape the cage while he held Kodaka back. So the final stage of the match was between Kodaka and FUMA. FUMA went for the Heavy Metal Hammer but Kodaka surprised him by smashing Madoka’s ukulele over his head. Kodaka placed a ladder on top of FUMA and hit the Diving Double Knee Drop but it left him in great pain. FUMA hit the Heavy Metal Hammer and the Heavy Metal Anthem but Kodaka would not stay down. Kodaka climbed to the top of the cage and hit the Diving Double Knee Drop on FUMA and that was enough to end the match. Afterwards Kodaka told Madoka he would reimburse him for the ukulele he broke. He was told the ukulele cost 30,000 yen and in response said he might have to take money out of the upcoming tournament prize to pay for it. A defeated FUMA told Kodaka “You are also metal!” Kodaka didn’t take that as a compliment and flipped FUMA a middle finger. He then climbed the turnbuckle and did the Diving Double Knee Drop onto the unbroken table. He isn’t metal, he’s hardcore!

Kodaka invited Masamune to team with him on the 3rd May show in Miyagi.

MEN’S Teioh returned to his Terry Boy persona for a Hardcore Match with Hiroshi Fukuda. Despite the special occasion Fukuda did not hold back and busted open Terry after an ambush belt attack. Fukuda did the Perfect Plex off of a ladder but Terry kicked out of the pin. Terry used the ladder himself to give Fukuda the Calf Branding and then submitted him with the Spinning Toe Hold.

BASARA announced its first tournament called Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~. It is a round robin tournament with two blocks of five wrestlers each. The winners of both groups will face each other in the final with 500,000 yen as the grand prize. The money comes from Kodaka’s savings apparently. Block A has Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT and Yusuke Kubo. Block B has FUMA, Takumi Tsukamoto, Daichi Kazato, Ryu Gouma and Hiroshi Fukuda.
