The four Nariagari have been picked for the dark match. Shosaku Inoue and Tawaramachi Kid Jr. have appeared on DDT shows before. I think Tataki Torino and KAKARU are making first time appearances here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES ~ AUTUMN APPETITE EXCITEMENT PRESENT”, 12/10/2024
Tokyo GOTANDA G6/G7

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Raku Vs Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki

Another season means another Garafes event hosting a few mat wrestling matches with Tokyo Joshi Pro and The Up Up Girls.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 13/10/2024
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1A: Toga Vs HIMAWARI
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Raku Vs Uta Takami
3. Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki Vs Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase
4. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Miki Fortune & Kira Summer
5. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Kaya Toribami
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto
7. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku

It’s been so long since TJPW had a tag team of sisters. Kira Summer is bringing over her sister Miki Fortune to team up together. Fortune’s a bit of a wild one so anyone expecting her to act just like Summer will be in for a surprise.

The Next Generation Tournament begins with on this show.

Shoko Nakajima will be in America for Deadlock Pro competing in the Battle Of The Best final so she will be missing this show. Yuki Kamifuku will also be absent because she will be defending the Asian Double Crown over in the Philippines.

DDT “THE LAST BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING OF 2024”, 17/10/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Street Kickboxing 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukimitsu Takahashi & Keigo Nakamura Vs Thanomsak Toba, Takeshi Masada & Gota Ihashi
6. Special 3-Way Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

Three units are clashing together for the next Beer Garden main event. BURNING, The 37KAMIINA and SCHADENFREUDE International are all sending two of their best for the match.

DDT “DDT PRO WRESTLING IN IKEBUKURO FULL MOON FESTIVAL 2024”, 19/10/2024
Tokyo Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park Outdoor Theater

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Tag Match: Akito & Pokotan Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs HARASHIMA, MIKAMI & Gota Ihashi
5. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Takayuki Ueki, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy Vs Keigo Nakamura, To-y, Yuya Koroku, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi

A team of five from DDT’s new generation are going to challenge for the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles. SCHADENFREUDE have Takayuki Ueki subbing in for Antonio Honda but he was part of the team when they originally won the belts anyway. So it may as well be the champions entering the match at full force.

MIKAMI makes another DDT appearance this year.

One day before the DDT Extreme Title is defended, Akito and Danshoku Dieno are facing off in a wacky tag match with Pokotan and Yoshihiko also involved. The stipulation for the title match hasn’t been chosen yet but it would be leaving it very late if this match is meant to set it up.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024”, 20/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida
3. Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Soma Takao, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
4. DAMNATION T.A Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
5. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

I bet it will have changed by the time this show happens but the two remaining Right To Challenge Shields are both currently being held by Soma Takao.

DDT “AKOS X DDT EKIMAE PRO WRESTLING”, 26/10/2024
Saitama AKOS Event Square

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Shunma Katsumata Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi
2. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

DDT is holding a few matches at a shopping area in Saitama. It is an outdoor show so bad weather on the day could cancel the event. The show notes say it can go ahead if it’s light rain but anything that can be described as stormy will call it off.

DDT “CHARISMANIA”, 06/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO Vs Naohiro Katsumi
2. The Greatest Wrestling Match Of CHARISMANIA: Daisuke Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto Vs Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita

So many people who have links to Daisuke Sasaki are coming to “CHARISMANIA”. He is teaming with Yuko Miyamoto to face his mentors Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita. Also KUBITO and Naohiro Katsumi will have a match together to commemorate Togo’s old wrestling school called SUPER CREW. The two of them along with Sasaki were part of the school’s first graduating class.

Also booked for the show are KANON, MJ Paul, Demus, Ilusion, Diego and Anarko Montaña.

Oishi’s Last Day In DDT, Satomura In TJPW One More Time, Fujia Vs Takanashi Rematch

September 25, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 28/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Haru Kazashiro Vs Chika Nanase
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Toga
4. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kira Summer
5. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Shino Suzuki Vs Suzume, Arisu Endo & Moka Miyamoto
6. Miu Watanabe, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Max The Impaler, Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI

A few people are missing from the show for different reasons. Both Raku and Pom Harajuku are missing the show because they will be wrestling in Thailand for SETUP that same day. Yoshiko Hasegawa won’t be there because of a scheduling conflict. Runa Okubo is out of action with an injury she suffered during her match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 ~ 3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 29/09/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura
2. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Antonio Honda, To-y & Ilusion
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi
5. DDT Extreme Title – IPPON Lighttube Tag Team Death Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Yuni
6. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs Yukio Naya
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi

To-y and Yuki Ishida swap places in Match #2 and Match #3 for some reason.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 03/10/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi Vs Toru Owashi, Masahiro Takanashi & Ilusion
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Keigo Nakamura & To-y
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno

On the day that Makoto Oishi’s contract ends with DDT he gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Danshoku Dieno. The two of them have never held the titles together and don’t even know what will happen next if they beat ShunMao. It won’t be the last time we will ever see Oishi in DDT but whenever he does show up again it will be as a freelancer. The match means a lot to MAO & Shunma Katsumata too because Oishi has been a mentor to them for their entire careers.

Ilusion has gotten SCHADENFREUDE International a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles but he isn’t allowed to be on the challenger team. DAMNATION T.A don’t want to defend the titles against him but have no problem putting the belts on the line against the rest of SCHADENFREUDE.

Out of all the possible DDT Universal Title challengers stepping forward, To-y is one of the more unlikely to beat Yuki Iino. But he is looking for ways to get a title shot. He couldn’t go through with cashing in his Right To Challenge Shield because Iino physically stopped him at every opportunity. Now To-y no longer has the Shield but is taking the chance of facing Iino directly in a tag match. This is all if Iino is still the champion after his defence with Yukio Naya of course.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’24”, 06/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazahiro Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
4. Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Shino Suzuki
5. Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase & HIMAWARI
6. Ryo Mizunami Vs Arisu Endo
7. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Xia Zhao
8. Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita Vs Meiko Satomura & Shoko Nakajima

When news came out about Meiko Satomura’s plan to retire from pro wrestling next year, Miyu Yamashita immediately went to Tetsuya Koda asking him to bring Satomura back to Tokyo Joshi Pro for one more match. Yamashita never got along with Satomura in their interactions together back in 2017 because Satomura wasn’t impressed with her as a wrestler. So now here we are seven years later and this might be Yamashita’s final chance to measure herself up against the legend. Miu Watanabe and Shoko Nakajima are also getting in on the action to get their one and only match with Satomura.

Xia Zhao has a pinfall victory over Yuki Kamifuku so she next wants to take the Asian Double Crown from her. Yuki Kamifuku is willing to put both the Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title because gambling big in this situation works out for her no matter the result. She either rips off the bandage by losing both belts at the same time or looks cool for defending two championships at once.

Both Ryo Mizunami and Arisu Endo are coming off of title losses at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”. Where they go from here might depend on the result of this match.

The idea of putting Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi together as a team sounds unhinged. Yuna Manase can deal with it but HIMAWARI might find herself in trouble should she end up in a 2-on-1 situation.

It will be up to Shino Suzuki to guide Andreza Giant Panda safely down to the ring. Mizuki is going to have so much fun trying to Double Stomp him that Mahiro Kiryu will have to apologise on her behalf!

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN ASAKUSA”, 09/10/2024
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Moka Miyamoto Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko Vs Shunma Katsumata, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

A few guests are coming in for DDT’s return to Asakusa. Ryota Nakatsu is coming over and wants to be in the ring with HARASHIMA. Also TJPW will be presenting a match between Moka Miyamoto and Haru Kazashiro.

BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~”, 11/10/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The unexpected next challenger for the Union MAX Title is Masahiro Takanashi! He held the title once before during 2019 and 2020. His final successful defence was even against the current champion Minoru Fujita. That result is something Fujita wants to avenge so he is ready to face Takanashi in a rematch over four years in the making.

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~” Results

September 24, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~”, 24/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans

1. Kota Sekifuda defeated KUBITO with a Crossface Lock Reversal (11:46).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Banana Senga & Yuki Kanzaki when Oosugi pinned Senga with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:10).
3. Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken when Imanari pinned Kraken with the Lariat (15:06).
4. Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita when Ishijima pinned SAGAT with the Ghostbuster (13:48).
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.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~” Results

August 4, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~”, 04/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeru Inoue Debut Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Takeru Inoue with a Brainbuster (9:10).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken and Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Kamino pinned Kraken with the Lariat (9:56).
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT when Sekine submitted SAGAT with the Let’s Combine (9:56).
4. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Yuki Ishikawa with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:10).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated KUBITO & Daisuke Sasaki when Abe submitted KUBITO with a Sleeper Hold (16:20).
*V1 for Astronauts.
6. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Yasu Urano with the BONEYARD (20:53).
*V6 for Minoru Fujita.

Minoru Fujita has now tied the record amount of Union MAX Title defences with six wins in this reign. He defeated Yasu Urano by dropping him with the Tombstone Piledriver and then making him submit to the Reverse Viper Hold, or BONEYARD as he likes to call it. With no clear challengers on the horizon Fujita called for a reset and will accept the challenge of anyone who comes forward. He told the fans how much he appreiciates the view because two years ago he came close to dying. He sees there is potential for growth in BASARA and he wants everyone in the promotion to reach that potential together.

Two proteges of Dick Togo challenged Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles but could not find a way to take the belts away from them. Takuya Nomura got rid of Daisuke Sasaki with a German Suplex and Fuminori Abe submitted KUBITO with a Sleeper Hold. After the match Abe and Sasaki had to be separated from each other. Then Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu entered the ring and declared themselves the next challengers for the tag titles. It’s a Cavalry reunion and the match will happen on 27th August!

It was a busy day for Isami Kodaka because he wrestled twice on the show. The match he had late in the card was against Yuki Ishikawa as part of Ishikawa’s road to retirement. Kodaka came out on top and Ishikawa praised him for having more than enough energy to wrestle twice. Ishikawa said he became the wrestler he is today thanks to Kodaka. He enjoyed wrestling him today and it makes him want to enjoy his remaining matches until his retirement on 12th August.

Kodaka’s other match on the show was against the debuting rookie Takeru Inoue. The newcomer fell to a Brainbuster but Kodaka was pleased with his performance. Since Inoue is BASARA’s first trained wrestler in over four years, Kodaka says he wants to nurture him carefully. Inoue said he joined BASARA because he admires Kodaka and his goal is to surpass him as the most unique wrestler. He also revealed his sports history is six years of volleyball and he spent a year training at the HEAT UP dojo.

I Chose The Wrong Time To Go On Holiday

July 16, 2024

Heads up, I have a really busy travel week this week. Unfortunately that means I don’t have the time to write any previews for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” or “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”. I will try my best to post match results, show reports and any other news whenever I can but it may come a few days late before I’m caught up on anything.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MJ Paul

No real clues in the lineup for what direction DDT will go next after Sumo Hall.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~SCORCHING SUMMER SPLASH~”, 27/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Raku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro appearance at the Garafes is later this month. The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) also recently announced a new trainee called Kana. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th August, 2005 and is 156cm tall. Her goal is to become both a regular pro wrestler and idol.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~”, 04/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Debut Match: Takeru Inoue Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Yuki Ishikawa
3. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Yasu Urano

All of Minoru Fujita’s defences of the Union MAX Title so far have been against BASARA wrestlers. Yasu Urano is going to be his first outsider opponent. For Fujita it may be the first time he feels like BASARA’s leader as their champion.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNCUT DIAMONDS 2024”, 16/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Shuji Ishikawa
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Takuya Wada

In just over a year and a half Takuya Wada has accomplished plenty in Ganbare☆Pro. He already held a championship here and now has a chance to take the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Keisuke Ishii.

Ken Ohka has called upon Shuji Ishikawa to challenge Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Ohka is on a mission to show everyone that wrestlers born in the 1970s are still up to snuff.

BASARA “BASARA 252 ~TAKAGARI 26~” Results

July 15, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 252 ~TAKAGARI 26~”, 15/07/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Isami Kodaka & Lil’ Kraken defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Kodaka pinned Kazato with the Ikki Tousen (11:30).
2. SAGAT & Judomaster Vs Banana Senga & Karate Master ended in a Double Countout (8:36).
3. FUMA defeated Gaia Hox with an Arm Bar (11:49).
4. KUBITO, Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when KUBITO submitted Nakatsu with the Crossover Face Lock (13:26).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Modified Samson Clutch (15:59).
*V5 for Minoru Fujita.

A Samson Clutch from out of nowhere resulted in Minoru Fujita retaining the Union MAX Title against Takumi Tsukamoto. Afterwards Tsukamoto wanted to speak on the microphone but didn’t have much to say so Yasu Urano took it from him. Urano told Fujita they have known each other for so long. Who is the next challenger going to be? It’s Urano! The fans called for the match to happen right away but Urano noticed the referees were already preparing to go home. Isami Kodaka stepped in and said the title match should happen somewhere important so it will take place at Korakuen Hall on 4th August! Fujita said ever since he won the title he hasn’t felt like he is the leader of BASARA. He does not know what he needs to do to satisfy that feeling but he will not give up on himself for as long as he lives.

There was a reason why KUBITO used the Crossface Lock to win his match. He wants to invite his classmate Daisuke Sasaki over to BASARA for its next Korakuen show. KUBITO has an idea for the two of them to team up and challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. He has not asked BASARA for permission to do this so we will have to wait and see if it will happen.

FUMA and Gaia Hox praised each other and shook hands after their match.

The growing rivalry between Judomaster and Karate Master is now dragging SAGAT and Banana Senga into the mix. Senga has 9 years of karate experience so he fits in fine. SAGAT though knows neither martial art. Instead he is a Taekwondo guy. The match turned into an brawl out of the ring where some wrestlers also acted like cats as well as martial artists. It lasted long enough for everyone to get counted out.

Out of all the other units MAO is going to team with against The 37KAMIINA this month, SCHADENFREUDE International on paper is the one he should get along with most.

Earlier today Danshoku Dieno won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Funky Kato so the belt is back within the DDT circle.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 21, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka when Nakano pinned Isaka with the Kenkatabami (8:53).
2. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT, Gouma Ryu & Antonio Honda by Referee Stoppage when Kazato submitted Ryu with the Trigger Point (9:01).
3. Karate Master & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Karate Master pinned Judomaster with the Let’s Seikentsu Mid-level Thrust (8:05).
4. Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Modern Times (13:34).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) when Abe submitted Nakatsu with the Arm Hold Manjigatame (15:33).
*Harimao fails in V5. Astronauts becomes the 12th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

That’s all she wrote for Harimao’s run as the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. The titles now belong to Astronauts! It happened when Fuminori Abe trapped Ryota Nakatsu in the Manjigatame while Takuya Nomura cut off Kazusada Higuchi by putting him in a similar submission hold. Abe told Nomura after the match they will go on a fierce road of title defences that only they can do. Not only are they going to liven up BASARA but the rest of the wrestling world too! They are even thinking about defending the belts overseas.

In a manner similar to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s recent disappearances, Ryuichi Sekine wasn’t anywhere to be found for his match today (apparently he took a nap somewhere backstage and overslept). Luckily a replacement was found in a newcomer called Karate Master. Just like Judomaster his martial arts talents are cancelled out by his lack of pro wrestling knowledge. However he did know how to pin his opponent and did so after hitting Judomaster with a Karate style Diving Fist Drop. After the match Minoru Fujita and Takumi Tsukamoto continued to fight each other. Fujita blamed it on the karate gi he wore for the match. He claims it made him more fired up than usual so he will never wear it again.

Last month SAGAT and Gouma Ryu had a confrontation that included Ryu objecting to SAGAT making Superman references without permission to use the trademark. That must have all been solved this month because SAGAT wore his Superman inspired gear, Antonio Honda was straight up wearing a full Superman costume and Ryu revealed during the match he was also wearing a Superman costume beneath his suit. Unfortunately their superpowers werent’ strong enough and Daichi Kazato rendered Ryu unconscious by grabbing the trigger points in his shoulders.

6. Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI Vs Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Moka Miyamoto
7. Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami Vs Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen

Miyu Yamashita is now back in Japan after finishing up the last of her current American dates over the weekend. Her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro is reviving 121000000 with Maki Itoh.

Match #4 is important because it is taking place on the same day as Runa Okubo’s 16th birthday! Her team with Haru Kazashiro is currently being called HaruRuna while Shino Suzuku & Uta Takami have been shortened down to ShinoUta.

Both Vert Vixen and LA Taylor have come out of Korakuen Hall without any championships. They can at least try to get some commiseration wins here for their troubles.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Isami Kodaka Vs Yasu Urano
2. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato vs SAGAT, Gouma Ryu & Antonio Honda

As part of Sanshiro Takagi’s final matches, he convinced CIMA to be in the same ring as Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata again.

A return to Osaka means Tsutenkakka gets to be on DDT shows again. He gets a big match against HARASHIMA to see what he is made of. I mean other than steel because he is already a tower in the body of a pro wrestler.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

TJPW’s big match for the summer is Daydream tearing each other apart for the Princess Of Princess Title! A match like this was always on the horizon and Rika Tatsumi thinks the time is now for it to happen. She wants to be the Princess Champion again even if it means having to take the belt from Miu Watanabe. That scenario happened before last year with the International Princess Title. Watanabe does not want history to repeat itself.

There’s been a couple of times already this year when Shoko Nakajima has been in the ring with Aja Kong. Now they get to fight each other one on one! It is a match both are looking forward too. Nakajima wants to have a wrestling career as long and illustrious as Kong’s, maybe even turn into the modern day equivalent of her. Kong meanwhile is isolating herself in the mountains in order to train for this match. That is how much she sees Nakajima as a threat to her.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Masato Tanaka
2. Dramatic Dream Match: El Desperado Vs Chris Brookes
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Go Shiozaki & Atsushi Kotoge
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

Earlier today Chris Brookes was one of several DDT wrestlers who were part of El Desperado’s invitational show (I’ll write a post about the show this evening). Brookes got on the microphone after his match to talk to Desperado who was at the commentary booth. He said they’ve known each other for years now but have never been in a match together. So he challenged him to a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show next month!
