BASARA “BASARA 255 ~HIEN~”, 13/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT defeated Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue when SAGAT pinned Inoue with the Goregrind (9:40).
2. Takato Nakano defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Takagari (7:37).
3. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Big Bang Catastrophe (14:59).
4. Kengo Mashimo & Fuminori Abe defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Abe submitted Sekine with a Back Knee Hold (13:36).
5. Kuma Arashi defeated Masato Kamino with the Diving Senton (11:58).
Today was the beginning of BASARA’s new brand split when it comes to running shows at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The “HIEN” shows promise to present Hard Mode style wrestling while BASARA’s usual presentation is being saved for “SOUEN” events. In the main event Masato Kamino lost to the visitor Kuma Arashi but the two were in good spirits with each other after the match. Takato Nakano joined up with Kamino to have a toast with fans to close out the show. The two of them promised to lead this new direction for BASARA and pull each other in many different directions.
Fuminori Abe outwrestled Ryuichi Sekine in a preview of the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match. Abe countered the Let’s Combine into a Cradle for a nearfall and then turned that into a Back Knee Hold to make Sekine submit. Sekine will always admit when he is beaten and that happened today. He promised he will fight harder to beat Astronauts in the title match. Abe thinks highly of Sekine because he is a wonderful and genuine person. But he is not going to let him take the titles away from him, no matter how explosive he will be.
In what could have been an ode to Keith Lee, the Big Bang Catastrophe was used by Daisuke Sekimoto to win his match against Ryota Nakatsu.
After Nakano won his match against Kota Sekifuda, he reminded the crowd that Sekifuda is one-half of the UWA World Tag Team Champions with Kaji Tomato. Since Nakano just defeated him, he wants Aijin Tag to get a title shot! Sekifuda said he only just lost the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title to Ikuto Hidaka and he will die before he loses this championship too. He and Tomato already have a title defence lined up somewhere else anyway so he declined Nakano’s challenge. Nakano warned him that Aijin Tag will be waiting to take the titles from them.
The opening match was changed around because Lil’ Kraken suffered a back injury yesterday. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue were meant to be opponents but were now on the same team. Inoue’s original partner Takumi Tsukamoto teamed up with SAGAT instead.
Kodaka was asked after the show if the Chouten ~Itadaki~ will happen this year and if the brand split will have any effect on it? He is considering having the tournament once BASARA has settled into the new format. He has an idea to split the field in half between “HIEN” and “SOUEN” wrestlers because he does not intend to have many of them work on both brands.

East Army: Shunma Katsumata (Chiba), HARASHIMA (Tokyo), Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo), MAO (Miyagi), Tetsuya Endo (Miyagi), Yuki Iino (Tokyo), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), KANON (Ishikawa), Toru Owashi (Nagano), Makoto Oishi (Shizuoka), Akito (Aichi), Yukio Naya (Tokyo), Keigo Nakamura (Iwate), Yuya Koroku (Chiba), Yoshiko Hasegawa (Saitama) and Riara (Miyagi)

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion
It wasn’t possible for DDT to bring Shunma Katsumata and Kohei Kinoshita together to sign the contract for their DDT Extreme Title match so a remote press conference was held for them yesterday. Katsumata decided the rules for the match is they will score a point for every second they pin their opponent for. The first wrestler to reach 37 points in total will be the winner and champion. The reason why Katsumata chose 37 as the target number is because 37 means “sauna” and he heard Kinoshita also likes saunas.
Kinoshita said he wanted to wrestle in DDT for years but it was always difficult to get bookings because he lives in Kansai. He is excited to wrestle for a title and will use this match as a chance to expand his horizons. Katsumata had wanted to do a singles match with him ever since they fought each other in a 6-Man Tag at Yukinori Matsui’s produce show back in May. He is even happier the match gets to happen in Osaka. Even though the contract signing was done electronically, the two still found a way to almost start a brawl by arguing with each other over who is going to win.
BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST”, 24/08/2024

2. International 4 Way Dance: Shivam Vs Dr. Gore Vs Monomoth Vs Jake De Leon
3. Triple Threat Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano
4. Special Single Match: Maya Yukihi Vs Ram Kaichow
The first few matches for “FUCKED UP FEST” have been revealed. Maya Yukihi and Ram Kaichow are being paired off against each other. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Yasu Urano come to Baka Gaijin + Friends for the first time. An international 4 Way invites Shivam, Dr. Gore, Monomoth and Jake De Leon all to Japan. Also Chie Koishikawa, Thanomsak Toba and Sayaka all return to the Baka Gaijin mat.
The event is supposed to be an all day thing and so far Masahiro Takanashi is the only regular to have a match announced. A lot of the other regulars haven’t been mentioned yet so expect a lot more matches to be added soon.
DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Soma Takao 15th Anniversary ~ Special Single Match: Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki
Seven years after his last match with the company Kota Ibushi is finally going to wrestle in DDT again! His return match is being purposely put together too because one of his opponents is Tetsuya Endo. When Ibushi left DDT, Endo was one of the wrestlers he entrusted the future of the promotion to. Ibushi wants to prove to everyone he is in much better form than his NOAH match at the start of the year. He had a five minute exhibition at GLEAT recently where he looked alright but still nowhere near the image of Ibushi that we all know and love. I’d say if he’s reduced to just being the hot tag for the match he won’t embarrass himself. Heck if he just wants to goof around Korakuen Hall and fight up in the balcony again for old time’s sake that won’t be bad either. Unless his teases of going over the barrier get taken too far…
BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~”, 27/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu
The “SOUEN” events are supposedly going to be the same kind of shows BASARA were already doing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING before they increased the schedule. The first match announced definitely goes into the promotion’s history because Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu are reuniting as Cavalry to challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Cavalry was one of the first new teams established in BASARA during the brand’s debut year back in 2016. It lasted until 2018 when Nakatsu won the Union MAX Title and Sekine felt it was time for them to split up so he could challenge him for the belt. It’s only fitting that another championship is what gets them to reunite six years later.

7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Aino
8. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Ryo Mizunami
Eight women remain in the Tokyo Princess Cup. From this point onwards the bracket will get shuffled up so no one who wins will immediately know who they will face in the semi finals. Usually the lottery will happen at the end of the show.
Maki Itoh’s latest tour with GCW brings her going from Japan to America back to Japan and then to America once more. Masha Slamovich is on the Japan tour too and she is teaming with Toga to take on 121000000.
This will be the first time all four current members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) are teaming together for an 8-Woman Tag Match.
HIMAWARI won’t be at the show because she is making a stage appearance somewhere else that day. Whatever the performance is about involves a lot of swordplay.

4. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi
5. International Special 4 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Joey Janela Vs Effy Vs Takeshi Masada
6. International Special Single Match: Danhausen Vs Kazuki Hirata
What is more powerful than Kazuki Hirata dancing to “Tokyo GO!”? Maybe Danhausen dancing to “Tequila”? It is a Beer Garden show after all.
During the week Joey Janela revealed he has been suffering from gallstone pancreatitis. It sounded like he was going to be out of action for a while but instead he went ahead and wrestled in GCW as scheduled. He is also determined to be in Japan for the tour and DDT on their end has not said anything that suggests otherwise.

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.

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Takuya Wada
Another Ganbare☆Joshi Vs Ice Ribbon tag match is coming up. This time Ice Ribbon are sending people from both sides of the experience scale. There should be no need to explain who Tsukasa Fujimoto is at this point. She has been a central figure for the company for so long now. Teaming with her is the brand new rookie Kirari Wakana. The 18 year old only just had her debut match earlier this month and is already getting some good results her way. Yuna Manase & YuuRI better watch out and not take her lightly.

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~”, 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.
