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.

Hikari Noa will be coming back to Japan empty handed. She lost to Alex Windsor on last night’s EVE show preventing her from becoming a two time International Princess Champion. Windsor has some unfinished business going on in EVE so it will be a while before she can be seen in Tokyo Joshi Pro. However TJPW are continuing their relationship with EVE by sending over Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao to their annual “WRESTLE QUEENDOM” show in November. Yamashita’s match for that day is against Millie McKenzie. In return EVE is sending Rhia O’Reilly & Nightshade, aka The Uprising to Japan sometime in the future. The two of them are expecting to get a Princess Tag Team Titles match once they come over.

7. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Asuka
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the O-40 Title have both suddenly been vacated?!? Toru Owashi wants to prove he is taking the KO-D Tag Team Titles match seriously so he is discarding the two championships he’s been carrying around for months. Even though he’s been the O-40 Champion for almost two years, he still considers it Gorgeous Matsuno’s pride and joy. Matsuno still reminds him on the regular to keep the belt polished. Meanwhile many of Owashi’s friends have held the Iron Man Title over the years. He is willing to throw all of that away in order to become the new KO-D Tag Champion with HARASHIMA. His request was accepted by Hisaya Imabayashi (who just turned 50 yesterday) and Harimao paid respect to Owashi for his decision.

Cheering will be allowed at this show too. You probably wouldn’t hear it over the explosions anyway.

Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater

0. Dark Match ~ Nariagari Offer Match: Tawaramachi Kid Jr. & Super Nikuyaki Machine Vs Sumo Ninja Kyu & Tadaki Toronomi

The Explosion Death Match will be held under Scramble Bunkhouse rules. That is when the two teams start the match at opposite ends of the venue and all charge into each other when the bell rings. Four weapons will be rigged with explosives: a barbed wire bat, a block toy bat, a board covered in mines and for the first time ever a Current Blast Bazooka! The last one is Yukio Naya’s idea because his grandfather Taiho got his name from a cannon. He promises it will smash The 37KAMIINA to smithereens! Shunma Katsumata is aiming to take both the Right To Challenge NFT from Shinya Aoki and the “Evil Ways” jacket from Atsushi Onita.

Four over four months there have been four women training with Tokyo Joshi Pro to become pro wrestlers as part of a reality show. The show is called Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- and episodes have been uploaded weekly to TJPW’s Youtube channel. One of the four competitors will win the chance to have their debut pro wrestling bout with TJPW. Three of them are still part of the project and are making their final preparations which involves a one off show taking place in Shinjuku FACE. There will be an exhibition match on the show involving Wakana Uehara, Himari Manaka and Risako. It is their final exam before the winner of the show is determined. The regular TJPW roster will fill up the rest of the card.

Tokyo Dome City Hall

Hikari Noa won’t be around this week because she will be in England trying to win back the International Princess Title from Alex Windsor at an EVE show.

BASARA “BASARA 199 ~GLITTER~”, 06/09/2022
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
2. Makoto Oishi 20th Anniversary Match ~ Men’s Club Vs The 37KAMIINA: Makoto Oishi, MEN’S Teoih & Shiori Asahi Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata

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).
3. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Nakano pinned Nakatsu with a Cradle (13:02).
4. Daiki Shimomura defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Swanton Bomb (15:12).
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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 04/09/2022
Aichi Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu

The one piece of advice Mahiro Kiryu regularly gets is to show a more assertive side of herself. She always acts so apologetic and afraid to step on anybody’s toes. So to see her challenge Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Team Titles despite having lost matches to Saki Akai & Yuki Arai earlier this year is a step in the right direction on that front. Yuki Kamifuku knew the day would come that Toyo Mates would challenge for the titles but didn’t expect it to be this soon. However she supports Kiryu showing more confidence in herself and will stand side by side with her against the champions.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2022”, 04/09/2022
Aichi Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Yusuke Okada Vs Takeshi Masada
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
3. Akito & Shinya Ishida Vs MAO & Yuki Ishida
4. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino, Yuki Ueno & Makoto Oishi
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Asuka
6. Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

The Exploding Death Match could be getting outshined by some of the new additions to the card. Harimao have been challenged by DISASTER BOX to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against them. Naomi Yoshimura made fun of Toru Owashi in response to this by saying he only has good matches once every four years. Owashi however is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and the O-40 Champion. It would make his year to win the tag titles with HARASHIMA and become a triple crown champion in DDT!

DDT “STERNNESS 30TH ANNIVERSARY ~JUN AKIYAMA 30TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 18/09/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Jun Akiyama Debut 30th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo & Yoshinobu Kanemaru Vs Yuji Nagata, Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata

Old and new generations of BURNING are being represented in Jun Akiyama’s 30th Anniversary match. Endo is from the current version of BURNING while Yoshinobu Kanemaru comes from the original and third editions of the unit. Akiyama also gave his reasons for choosing his opponents. Yuji Nagata has been an important figure throughout Akiyama’s career, Konosuke Takeshita learned the Jumping Knee Strike from Akiyama and Katsumata reminds Akiyama so much of Kanemaru.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS III”, 09/10/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki

Yuka Sakazaki winning the Tokyo Princess Cup has received a strong reaction online from fans thinking it should have been Miu Watanabe’s year to win it. No matter what, the main event of “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” is confirmed to be the rematch between Sakazaki and Shoko Nakajima for the Princess Of Princess Title.

Max The Impaler has arrived in Japan and went on a rampage inside the Tokyo Sports offices. Max stormed into the building during the early afternoon in search of Pom Harajuku. When they could not find her, they instead took one of the female employees hostage. Max also stole some gyoza dumplings in the office kitchen before escaping with their hostage. After Max left, Tetsuya Koda got in touch with Tokyo Sports explaining he sent a great foreign wrestler over for a promotional interview and wanted to know how it went? When staff explained what happened, Koda came to the conclusion he misunderstood the meaning of the word “great” when it is applied to Max. He went to retrieve the employee from Max and safely returned her to the office. The bag of dumplings however was empty when he found it.

Meanwhile the rest of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster are spending the day sharing their fondest memories of Pom Harajuku, fully expecting her to get destroyed by Max in the ring tomorrow.

8. Road To WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022! Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama

The debuting Takeshi Masada says he wants to leave an impact in his first match so DDT fans will remember him. He discovered pro wrestling back in junior high school when his brother showed him a Youtube video of Kota Ibushi. He already knew about pro wrestling from the Showa era but never knew how spectacular it could be until he saw that video. He took up Shorinji Kempo because his high school did not have a wrestling club. His desire to become a pro wrestler became so strong he quit the Shorinji Kempo club and applied for the DDTeeeen!! project. The pandemic cancelled those plans until he talked to Makoto Oishi at a DDT show in Osaka and applied for DDT’s proper dojo. He’s never been an honor student of any sort so he is confused that he is already debuting after only three months of training. In the future Masada wants to do street wrestling matches in his hometown and at his university campus whenever he goes back to college.

Joey Janela has also arrived safely in Japan, ready to take on Akito for the DDT Extreme Title.
