7. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

As of today, Yusuke Okada has signed a full time deal with DDT! On the DDT side, they were interested in signing him at some point and the deciding factor was when Okada fought Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title on 14th March. Sanshiro Takagi was worried that he might have missed the window to sign Okada because as a freelancer he could have gone somewhere else afterwards. Okada admitted he wasn’t thinking about his status with DDT after that match. His only concern was standing out in the ring. He still wants to broaden his wrestling horizons and DDT is a world he doesn’t know about so he will devote himself to find out. His goal for now is to win the UNIVERSAL Title because he is becoming obsessed with surpassing Ueno. It won’t be easy for him so he will build himself up to it step by step so the DDT fans will recognize him. Takagi said the signing of Okada happening so soon after signing Jun Akiyama is just a coincidence. Takagi wants Okada to wrestle everyone in DDT from all generations. If the timing is right then Takagi believes Okada will be active in DDT for a long time.

The date and location for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2021” will be announced during the show. All that has been said so far is the event will be held in front of fans and is taking place in a first time big venue for DDT.

DDT/NOAH/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GANBARE☆PRO “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”, 06/06/2021
Saitama Super Arena

1. DDT Vs NOAH Battle: Yuki Iino, Keigo Nakamura & Toui Kojima Vs Junta Miyawaki, Kinya Okada & Yasutaka Yano
2. DDT Vs NOAH Battle: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs X
4. GHC Heavyweight Title: Keiji Muto (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X

The first two DDT Vs NOAH matches have been made. The big one is Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno from DDT against NOAH’s Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura. There is a little bit of history to this match. Kiyomiya was part of a NOAH team that defeated a DDT team featuring Takeshita & Ueno in a 6-Man Tag match at “TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 2” back in August 2019. Inamura now wants a piece of them to show how strong his team is. Kiyomiya sees himself in a similar position to Takeshita since both are former heavyweight champions for their promotions and neither will be challenging for a title at the show. Ueno thinks people misunderstand him whenever he says DDT is fun pro wrestling. Fun and strength are two different things but they also go hand and hand together. Ueno wants his team to win to prove DDT is fun, strong and shouldn’t be underestimated. Takeshita also seems to have a chip on his shoulder over any opinion that NOAH is better than DDT.

The other DDT Vs NOAH match is based around the newer wrestlers from both companies. It is confirmed to be the opening match.

BASARA “BASARA 152 ~GLITTER~” Results

March 23, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 152 ~GLITTER~”, 23/03/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when SAGAT pinned Nakano after the Big Mac (11:16).
2. BASARA Official Rules Double Jacket Bout: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Oosugi submitted Gouma with a Reverse Cross Armbreaker (R4 0:24).
3. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Shimomura pinned Kubo with the Orange Sunset (19:13).
*V2 for Sento Minzoku.
4. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daichi Kazato with a Crab Hold (14:30).
*V4 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Bonus Track – Final Trans-Am: The ★ Trans-Am defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Perfect 5 (8:09).

Today BASARA bid farewell to The ★ Trans-Am (aka Trans-Am ★ Ji, aka Trans-Am ★ Ryuji, aka Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi, aka Ryuichi Kawakami). He is going back to America but his future lies elsewhere, some place GLEAT so I hear. For his final BASARA match, his opponent Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi appeared in his classic pre-yoga costume wearing a blonde wig to match the hairstyle he had at that time. The wig was accidentally pulled off during the match and Hiroshi reacted to it by reverting to his current yoga persona. The BASARA roster took part in the farewell ceremony for Ryuji after the match.

Takumi Tsukamoto is handling the double champion role well. He now has 4 Union MAX Title defences to his name, the latest coming from a submission win over Daichi Kazato. He said winning this match gave him a lot of confidence. Nobody came out to challenge him afterwards which he thinks is a good thing. It shows he has become so strong that everyone might now be scared of him!

Isami Kodaka wants to give Daiki Shimomura all of the credit for their successful IRON FIST Tag Titles defence against IRON PRIEST. According to Kodaka, he couldn’t get his engine running until late the very end of the match. But he isn’t going to dwell on that. Instead, Kodaka wants to defend the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title on a BASARA show next month. He needs Big Japan’s permission first but hopes they will let him do a title match on 10th April.

What are the full rules for the Jacket Match? According to Gouma, nobody knows! It was made even more confusing when applied to a tag team match. Speed Of Sounds were able to beat Gouma & Fuminori Abe fair and square but the two sides kept fighting after it ended.

DDT “WRESTLING OKEHAZAMA 2021”, 19/03/2021
Nagoya Naka Sports Center

ALL OUT is all gone so it’s time for some members to go their separate ways. Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata are still connected together by the DDT Sauna Club. Also Akito has the Young Communication Generation to keep him company. It’s Yuki Iino who is going out on his own for now. His destination is to beat Yuji Hino but what direction will he take to get there?

Takagi’s team gets their title match here. This will be the first defence for the current champions led by Shinya Aoki. They just need to win this one match to tie the championship record for most title defences. Even so, the belts still have more history than the proposed IWGP World Heavyweight Title.

BASARA “HAMAMATSU SLUDGE BASARA~”, 04/04/2021
Shizuoka Kamikoen General Center

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Yasu Urano & Michio Kageyama

Thunder Rosa & Riho Vs Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. & Maki Itoh (w/ Reba)

Maki Itoh is now in America wrestling in AEW! This is the “scheduling conflict” that took Itoh out of yesterday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro PPV. It caught me by surprise. It shouldn’t have because the hints were there all along but it did. The schedule clash, Itoh telling Miyu Yamashita she was going away for a while, her tweets back and forth with Britt Baker and then her Twitter going quiet for pretty much an entire day. I didn’t put two and two together because I thought there was some sort of quarantine she would have had to take which would make the whole scenario impossible. Turns out all you need to enter Florida is a negative Covid-19 test from the last 72 hours and you’re good to go. Even then it would have been difficult to get from Tokyo on Saturday to Florida on Sunday which is why her appearance was kept as a surprise. The slightest delay in travel would have resulted in her missing the show. But hey, she’s in AEW for now and is already making friends… and reuniting with foes from her past like Thunder Rosa and Riho. Good luck, America. She can be a handful.

BASARA “BASARA 152 ~GLITTER~”, 23/03/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano
2. Jacket Tag Match: Fuminori Abe & Gouma Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs The ★ Trans-Am
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daichi Kazato

It’s a Trans-Am ★ Reunion. The wrestler previously known as Trans-Am ★ Ryuji lost his name in January after he had a “Dragon Contra Dragon” match against Gouma Ryu. That match ended in a draw so both men lost the “Ryu” related part of their names. As a result of this, Trans-Am ★ Ryuji is now simply being called The ★ Trans-Am.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel

The winners of the first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament is NEO Biishiki-gun. The last thing Sakisama wants is more trophies so she is letting Mei Saint-Michel keep both of them in her room. Instead, Sakisama wants to get something better looking like the Princess Tag Team Titles! It is up to The Bakuretsu Sisters to stop them. Neither Nodoka Tenma or Yuki Aino have ever beaten the previous iterations of NEO Biishiki-gun in title matches though. Like for a lot of the roster, Sakisama is a difficult road block to get past.
