Instead the movie role is how he will enter a new chapter of his life and he believes he will triumphantly return to Ganpro as a star.

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~” Results

September 6, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~”, 06/09/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Goregrind (9:41).
2. Basara Strange Style Jacket 3 Way Match: Gouma defeated Ryota Nakatsu and Fuminori Abe by Double Knockout after Nakatsu and Abe knocked each other out (R3 1:26).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Swivel Zudon (13:37).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) when Nakano pinned Oosugi after the Combined Swan Dive Body Scissors Drop (14:43).
*Speed Of Sounds fails in V7. Aijin Tag becomes the 6th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Isamiashi Zan (20:03).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

The Union MAX Title was on the line between two members of Sento Minzoku. The figurehead of the unit Isami Kodaka blocked Daiki Shimomura’s Swanton Bomb with his knees, cutting off the challenger’s best chance at winning the match. Shimomura still kept fighting and gave a final roar before Kodaka put a stop to him with the Isamiashi Zan. The two of them were joined by Minoru Fujita after the match, marking the first time in a while all active members of Sento Minzoku were in the ring together. They wished the fans “Peace & Fuck” to end the show.

Aijin Tag have finally beaten Speed Of Sounds to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles! They came up with a new double team move to do it too. Masato Kamino lifted Tsutomu Oosugi up for a Power Bomb and Takato Nakano flew into him with a Swan Dive Lou Thesz Press. Banana Senga told the new champions he is looking forward to seeing them defend the belts. He also told them not to lose the titles until SOS challenge them for the rematch.

Daichi Kazato approached Aijin Tag after the show asking for a title shot on 24th September. He implied he wanted to fight both of them on his own. They will accept the challenge if Kazato can find a tag partner in time.

The rankings for BASARA’s Jacket matches have gone topsy turvy over today’s result. It was a 3 Way match between Ryota Nakatsu, Fuminori Abe and Gouma. Nakatsu and Abe ended up knocking each other out while fighting over money that Gouma threw at them so Gouma was declared the winner. Gouma moved all the way from 15th to 1st in the rankings because of the win. Nakatsu dropped from 1st down to 2nd and Abe went from 4th to 5th.

The Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament returns in October. The opening show will be held on 11th October and more details will be revealed at a later date.

Cheering, hanging up banners and throwing streamers were all allowed on today’s show.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
2. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

Last week Isami Kodaka defended the Union MAX Title against Gunso at the annual BASARA/Dove Pro summer meet. With that out of the way, Kodaka accepted Daiki Shimomura’s challenge for the next title shot.

Speed Of Sounds already defended the IRON FIST Tag Titles against Aijin Tag back in April. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino are nothing if not persistent though. They keep wanting as many chances to beat SOS as they can to finally win the belts. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga admire their determination and do like wrestling them so another title match is going ahead.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2022”, 25/09/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Osamu Nishimura & Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs Akito & Yukio Naya
2. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Cara Noir
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

We’re getting a legislator tag team of Osamu Nishimura & Shinichiro Kawamatsu! Ota Ward was host to Kawamatsu’s debut match so it’s only fair for he and Nishimura to step into the ring again over at Nishimura’s home of Bunkyo Ward. That means they’re heading to Korakuen Hall together. Akito & Yukio Naya were chosen to be their opponents.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2022”, 12/10/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ishida 1st Anniversary Match ~ Playfulness Series Act 4: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Yuki Ishida

Makoto Oishi’s 20th Anniversary is a great time to revive Men’s Club! He’s bringing in MEN’S Teioh & Shiori Asahi to take on the new generation represented by The 37KAMIINA.

Yuki Ishida is not getting a similar amount of pomp and circumstance for his one year anniversary. He’s getting a first time singles match against Danshoku Dieno.

BASARA “BASARA 198 ~TAKAGARI 11~” Results

August 20, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 198 ~TAKAGARI 11~”, 20/08/2022
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Jun Masaoka defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Ambitions (11:36).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Thanomsak Toba defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato when Abe submitted Kazato with the Manjigatame (11:46).

5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Oosugi pinned Kodaka with teh Tsuki no Ishi (19:23).
*V6 for Speed Of Sounds.

Isami Kodaka blamed his team’s loss in the main event over his ring gear. His usual Yankee Two Kenju costume got damaged and when he ordered a replacement costume it came in grey when he asked for them to be black. In hindsight he realized that was a bad sign he & Yuko Miyamoto were going to lose today. Both of them felt nostalgic fighting against Speed Of Sounds again so they are happy with the match despite losing. SOS agrees and would like to fight Yankee Two Kenju again but not often. Like in 20 years time.

At the end of the show Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino came out and challenged SOS for the IRON FIST Tag Titles. SOS pointed out that Aijin Tag has never beaten them before and they’ve failed to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles from them twice, once in each of their title reigns. Nakano understands that but believes he and Kamino will win the next time. Senga appreciated their courage and accepted their challenge as long as they think they can surpass their last match. The title defence will happen on 6th September.

Daiki Shimomura has made it known he wants a shot at the Union MAX Title. He’s been in a lot of singles matches this year for BASARA and they’ve been going well for him. After beating Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi he wants to use this momentum to earn himself a title match.

BASARA “BASARA 191 ~GLITTER~” Results

May 26, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 191 ~GLITTER~”, 25/05/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Takato Nakano with the Wild Drive III (9:32).

*V3 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Masato Kamino with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (16:28).
*V6 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Even though Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masato Kamino, he called him a future Union MAX Champion after the main event. However when he tried asking him about how much he likes BASARA, Kamino instead said he is thinking about going to GLEAT more often. Then Isami Kodaka came out and said he is the only person left who can beat Nakatsu for the MAX Title. He challenged him to a title match on 21st June.

Takumi Tsukamoto revealed his motivation for defending the CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title. When he was in elementary school he once had a substitute teacher who was from Ottawa. Tsukamoto wants to hold onto the CCW Canadian Title until he reunites with this substitute teacher. His title defence today against Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi was also his most difficult challenge yet. Both of them fought wearing karate gear and Hiroshi was the most serious he’s been in years. Tsukamoto was able to counter a Triangle Choke into a Crab Hold to get the win.

The Dreams Surrounding The Championships, Unbreakable Rhio Coming To TJPW

May 19, 2022

So how about Konosuke Takeshita and Maki Itoh on AEW Dynamite last night? Not bad, eh? Takeshita faced Hangman Page in a non-title barnburner of a match while Itoh was the “Joker” entry in the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament fighting against a previous ally Britt Baker. Both lost their matches unfortunately but their positions on the show was a great sign of the relationship between DDT/TJPW and AEW.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Akito Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Super Hardcore Girls Vs Prominence Full-Scale Battle ~ Special Hardcore Match: Carousel❤️Shun & Elizabeth❤️Toy Vs Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita
5. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Ilusion & El Unicorn

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

A press conference was held today featuring CDK, MAO and Asuka to promote both of their upcoming title matches. First up is the KO-D Tag Team Titles match involving all four wrestlers. Asuka thinks she and MAO have a deeper bond together than CDK does. She thinks their high flying skills will fuse together and she is looking forward to becoming the first female KO-D Tag Champion. MAO describes his team with Asuka is a challenging adventure and he wants to help her achieve her goal because as a former tag champion he has a special attachment for those belts.

Masahiro Takanashi appreciates the gesture because he once teamed with Emi Sakura for a KO-D Tag Title match. However he thinks the title are still better off belonging to CDK. Chris Brookes had just watched Takeshita on AEW so he is currently feeling emotional. This show might be the first DDT show AEW fans will watch so Brookes feels the pressure. However he is confident the other three wrestlers will show these fans how great DDT is.

BASARA “BASARA 191 ~GLITTER~”, 25/05/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. SAGAT VS Takato Nakano
2. Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Gouma Vs Fuminori Abe, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano

4. CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Masato Kamino

A big run has been happening for Masato Kamino lately. He defeated Isami Kodaka last month and was the sole survivor of the 6-Man Tag Elimination match on the last show. He is the latest challenger to step up to Ryota Nakatsu’s impressive Union MAX Title reign.

The obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title is being defended again. Takumi Tsukamoto was just about the better man against Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi in the Elimination tag match but now Hiroshi has a score to settle with him over it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 29/05/2022

6. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The press conference continued with MAO and Takanashi talking about the DDT Universal Title match. This will be Takanashi’s first singles championship match since the Union MAX Title defence in February 2020 when he got injured. Since coming back he wrestled the new generation of DDT wrestlers. He wants to win the Universal Title so he can defend it against those same wrestlers as well as the younger members of the BASARA roster. He also mentioned Kazusada Higuchi and Kota Umeda as potential opponents. There is also one more wrestler he would really want to defend the Universal Title against but he won’t say who it is.

MAO’s history of matches against Takanashi were mostly in NωA Vs Shuten-dōji 6-Man Tags. The fact that he and Takanashi are about to headline Korakuen Hall is like a tribute for wrestlers like KUDO and Makoto Oishi. MAO has his own dream opponent for a title defence. He definitely wants to defend the Universal Title against Mike Bailey!

6. FRIED Yamada Festival Deep Fried Food! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Power & HARASHIMA Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Akito

The show is either happening right now or already happened while I write this but I want to get this news post out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of my Sunday.

DDT “DDT FREE -MAY-”, 11/05/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Saki Akai & Soma Takao Vs Maya Yukihi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Akito
3. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuji Hino & Toui Kojima

7. Road To Audience 2022! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, Asuka & Shunma Katsumata

A world tour is on the minds of CDK and Antonio Honda wants to join in. MAO needs the help from both of his tag team partners Shunma Katsumata & Asuka to make sure it will not be done at his expense.

While Tetsuya Endo waits for his next challenger to appear, BURNING will take on itself for a friendly tag match.

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Banana Senga
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Yasu Urano
3. Takato Nakano Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
4. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa
5. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino Vs FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Antonio Honda

I think Masato Kamino is the one to keep an eye on after his win against Isami Kodaka last month. Out of that line up in the main event he is the one I see getting the next Union MAX Title shot.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Antonio Honda & Yuki Ishida
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA & Akito
3. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Ilusion & El Unicorn
4. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Super Hardcore Girls Vs Prominence Full-Scale Battle ~ Special Hardcore Match: Carousel❤️Shun & Elizabeth❤️Toy Vs Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs MAO & Asuka
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles will either be won by Eruption or go back to DAMNATION T.A. The arrival of KANON to the unit along with Minoru Fujita still hanging around to interfere gives the previous champions the advantage. But Eruption aren’t in the mood to take on cheaters and Hideki Okatani in particular is looking to fight KANON.

The DDTeeeen!! pair are continuing to get big opportunities. Now Ilusion and El Unicorn are getting thrown in there with BURNING. They have the big boys Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya on their team to make it a more fair fight. Keep in mind there is a 38 year age difference between Jun Akiyama and El Unicorn.

DDT “BIG BATH REVIVAL! SHIRO NO YU ROJO PRO WRESTLING RETURNS”, 29/05/2022
Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima

For the first time DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match inside the Kumamoto Hot Spring with an audience watching on. Thirty people will be allowed to see the match but they will be advised to be socially distant and be barefoot because they will get wet.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022”, 01/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinichiro Kawamatsu (c) (w/ Nobutatsu Suzuki) Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

After a failed attempt by Pokotan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, DDT have booked Shinichiro Kawamatsu to defend the belt in a Battle Royal. However he has hired former MMA fighter Nobutatsu Suzuki as his bodyguard and he will be there to protect his client from all threats.

“CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, 12/06/2022
Saitama Super Arena

1. NOAH Vs DDT Battle ~ Special Single Match: Kenoh Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. GHC Heavyweight Title: Go Shiozaki (c) Vs Satoshi Kojima

The full card will be revealed on 10th May. The latest drama surrounding NOAH is NOSAWA Rongai leaving the company after his contract was not renewed. NOAH’s business under his watch as booker has apparently not made the higher ups (as in those above Sanshiro Takagi) in CyberFight/CyberAgent happy. Kendo Kashin is said to be the new booker and I worry about that. He has such a bizarre sense of humour when he does his own angles and is left to his own devices. I have no idea what to expect when he has an entire company worth of storylines to deal with. There are also rumours of frustration among certain parts of the roster over who gets pushed strong (along with the better pay that comes with it) and why. I do not think this effects the “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” lineup in any way that matters. As a long term story though there can be more and even bigger fallouts to come if NOAH’s position doesn’t improve.
