BASARA “VAJRA 17 WU”, 30/08/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
87 Fans

1. Hi69 defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Stuka Splash (9:35).
2. Ryuichi Sekine & Koji Iwamoto defeated Madoka & Yusuke Kubo when Sekine submitted Kubo with the Let’s Combine (11:11).
3. Reverse Wrestling Court: Gouma Ryu defeated MC.33 and Atsushi Maruyama when Ryu pinned Maruyama with the Not Guilty (14:01).
4. HEAVY METAL vs BEST STRETCH: FUMA & Jaki Numazawa defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when FUMA pinned Kazato with the Heavy Metal Anthem (13:05).
5. Triangle Basara: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT when Hiroshi pinned SAGAT with the Perfect Plex (10:49).

Although Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT are a tag team in BASARA, it was every man for himself in the 3 Way Match with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Well, kind of. As the match progressed Tsukamoto and Hiroshi started fighting each other over who gets to have SAGAT. Hiroshi said SAGAT is his pet but Tsukamoto responded that SAGAT is his buddy. SAGAT escaped the Perfect Plex but his momentum was stopped with a Spinebuster. That allowed Hiroshi to do the Perfect Plex again and pick up the win. After a bit of bickering after the match, Tsukamoto shook hands with both Hiroshi and SAGAT.

Jaki Numazawa is blending in well with his new IRON PRIEST pal. He wrestled in a similar heavy metal costume as FUMA for their match. Daichi Kazato tried to block out the heavy metal stuff by singing his own song about the Best Stretch gym he works for. He was able to Clothesline Numazawa out of the ring but FUMA gave him an Extreme Twist Of Fate. FUMA then pinned Kazato with the Heavy Metal Anthem. He is pleased to have “NUMA-METAL” as his new support act as IRON PRIEST prepares to battle with Cavalry next month.

After Match #3, Tomoya Kawamura made an unexpected appearance wearing a suit. The former Rainbow Kawamura wanted to speak to Isami Kodaka. MC.33 who had just wrestled disappeared and Kodaka just so happened to appear in his place. Kawamura talked to him about being in Union Pro together but an injury robbed him the chance of wrestling there for the company’s final months. When he came back he became Rainbow Kawamura so he could have some fun but now it was time for his old self to come back. Kawamura announced he will quit DNA and now wants to wrestle in BASARA! Kodaka accepted him into BASARA and booked a match between the two of them on 8th September.

Hiroshima Industrial Hall – East Exhibition Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

After his actions at Sumo Hall sorting LiLiCo’s love life, Danshoku Dino now thinks of himself as a Wrestling Mentalist. He brought love into the ring for LiLiCo, arguably too much of it. He wants to help other wrestlers with his treatments. First up is his Fantastic Memories partner Keisuke Ishii.

Kazuki Hirata threw down a challenge at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016” but it remains to be seen if he gets the spot. Although Hirata was never a member of Team Drift, Takao considers him a friend and thinks a match with him for the title would be emotional. Takao is hoping to defend the title in both DDT and All Japan.

Endo says he has nothing but gratitude for Sasaki ever since he was invited to join DAMNATION. Sasaki is continuing to call the rest of the DDT roster “B Grade Garbage Wrestlers”. However he admires Yuko Miyamoto.

LiLiCo has a bunch of suiters looking for her hand in marriage so they can become famous. Dino came up with the bright idea to have a winner takes all match between the potential grooms. In a twist, Suguru Miyatake convinced Amon Tsurumi to add Dino to the match to wrestle on his behalf. Miyatake is not fit to go back to the ring but is desperate to become famous… I mean marry LiLiCo because he loves her or whatever.

BASARA “VAJRA 17 ~NOBLE FIGURE DANCING~”, 20/08/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Koji Iwamoto defeated Takuya Nomura & Fuminori Abe when Sekine submitted Nomura with the Let’s Combine (10:43).

*V1 for Abdullah Kobayashi, Masaya Takahashi & Takayuki Ueki.

The chairman of the Yokohama Shopping Street Federation that sponsors the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Titles was pleased with the main event. He described it as pure pro wrestling at its very best, which is very good. FUMA said Abdullah Kobayashi’s bald head reminds him of Rob Halford from Judas Priest and Piet Sielck from Iron Savior. Kobayashi didn’t know who they were and asked if they are Japanese. FUMA then apologised to the fans for IRON PRIEST’s failure to win the titles. He said IRON PRIEST will impregnate the pro wrestling world with heavy metal. “Thorns and chains to the soft heart! KEEP ON ROCKIN’ Heavy Metal Anthem! We are IRON PRIEST!”

SAGAT was focused on beating Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi in the Hardcore Tag Match but it was not meant to be. Hiroshi stopped the Goregrind with a Spinebuster onto a Ladder. The Perfect Plex afterwards was the end for SAGAT. Hiroshi rubbed in his victory by saying how fun it is to wrestle in a variety of matches. He then challenged SAGAT to a singles match on 30th August. However Takumi Tsukamoto stepped in and demanded to be in the match too. It was decided that a 3 Way Match will take place instead.

In return he wanted to take one third of Tsukamoto’s prize. Tsukamoto accepted the offer but it was a trick! Gouma rolled up Tsukamoto but couldn’t pin him. Gouma later tried to hit him with his law book but he got a Thrust Kick to the face for his troubles.

Hi69 won the Meat Milage Card on the this show. Ryuichi Sekine somehow got his hands on the card and bought 3,000 yen worth of steak for himself after the show.

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~” Results

July 29, 2016

hiroshi-perfectplex

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~”, 28/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
203 Fans

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Kazato with the V Slider (10:06).
2. Reverse Wrestling Court: Hi69 defeated Ryu Gouma and Atsushi Maruyama when Hi69 pinned both Gouma and Maruyama with the Stuka Splash (11:13).
*Hi69 is not guilty.
3. Chain Match: Yusuke Kubo defeated SAGAT by Referee Stoppage with a Chain-Assisted Camel Clutch (12:38).
4. TLC Match: FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Heavy Metal Anthem (13:35).
5. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Masamune defeated Kengo Mashimo & Madoka when Kodaka pinned Madoka with the Zeyyari (16:53).
6. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Perfect Plex (15:12).

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s claim of being the best wrestler, “foriegn” or otherwise in BASARA stays intact with a win over Ryuichi Sekine. Hiroshi mentioned this was his fifth singles match with Sekine and his first victory against him.

Kengo Mashimo had to be held back from Isami Kodaka after their tag match. Mashimo yelled that it wasn’t over between them two. Kodaka said he was holding the 2nd ever Shinjuku Strongest Ground Budokai tournament on 28th September and he wants Mashimo to enter. Mashimo considered but when he found out Daisuke Sekimoto and Yasu Urano were also entering he accepted the invitation.

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and the Kotetsu Gundan came to a conclusion with two different hardcore matches. Kotetsu Gundan came out on top of both bouts to definitively win the feud. In the Chain Match Yusuke Kubo choked out SAGAT with the chain, forcing the referee to call for the bell. Although the unit feud is over, the rivalry between these two may return in the future. FUMA then defeated Takumi Tsukamoto in a TLC Match. Tsukamoto admitted defeat and called FUMA a strong wrestler even if his heavy metal antics get in the way. FUMA then began to ramble on about instrumental songs and how they emit a melody of sorrow without the need for words. He offered a truce to Tsukamoto. Together they can be comrades united by hearts made out of the same steel. Tsukamoto called himself the Ballad Fighter and gave the heavy metal hand sign. Backstage, Tsukamoto and Kubo announced the official name of their unit. Gone is Kotetsu Gundan, now they are IRON PRIEST!

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title tournament kicks off. DAMNATION were intimidating enough when they formed and now they look unstoppable with Tetsuya Endo on their side. Fantastic Memories were formed especially for this tournament but there is now a conflict of interests because Super Sasadango Machine also manages NωA.

DDT “HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2016”, 24/07/2016
Tokyo Big Sight

Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Konosuke Takashita & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & MAO Vs Soma Takao & Kota Umeda

4. Chain Match: SAGAT Vs Yusuke Kubo
5. TLC Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs FUMA
6. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

In his quest to become the BASARA ace, Ryuichi Sekine refuses to accept Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi as the true winner of Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~. Hiroshi thinks Sekine is just jealous that the greatest “foreign” wrestler in the company won the tournament.

SAGAT demanded his match with Yusuke Kubo to be a Chain Match. The reason for this is important. SAGAT often used a chain on his enemies back when he was part of the King Legion stable in Union. The same stable FUMA was the leader of.

BASARA “VAJRA 15 WU” Results

July 22, 2016

sekine-warns-hiroshi

BASARA “VAJRA 15 WU”, 20/07/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
92 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hi69 & Daichi Kazato defeated Koji Iwamoto & Ryu Gouma when Hi69 pinned Gouma with a School Boy (11:19).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Yusuke Kubo with a Thrust Kick (11:41).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with the Heavy Metal Anthem (13:46)
4. MC.33 Comeback ~ Ultra Special Premium Deluxe Single Match: MC.33 defeated Atsushi Maruyama with the Buzzsaw Kick (15:57).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Oosugi pinned Nakatsu with the Tsukinoishi (16:48).

Ryuichi Sekine had some harsh words for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after the main event. Sekine isn’t happy that Hiroshi won the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament last month. When they face off one on one next week Sekine says he will kick Hiroshi until he becomes the true Itadaki champion. Hiroshi wants to know why Sekine is so angry? Is he jealous of Hiroshi’s good looks? No, it’s because Hiroshi is at the highest level in the world and is BASARA’s strongest foreigner!

With Isami Kodaka absent from the show, the masked wrestler MC.33 took his place for his first match in 10 years. MC.33 kept yelling “YO!” as he wrestled with Atsushi Maruyama. He then interrupted the match and challenged Maruyama to a wrestling theme song guessing game. Maruyama took the challenge but attacked MC.33 when he was losing the game. At one point Maruyama kicked MC.33 below the belt. That caused MC.33 to kick the referee below the belt by accident. MC.33 told Maruyama he really wanted to win the match and convinced him to take his moves. Maruyama then apologised every time he kicked out of a pin. MC.33 finally won when he made Maruyama flinch and then Buzzsaw Kicked him when his guard was down.

The Kotetsu Gundan Vs Tsukasaga Army series ended 1-1. Takumi Tsukamoto beat Yusuke Kubo but FUMA defeated SAGAT afterwards. FUMA continued to attack SAGAT after their match and a brawl between the two teams broke out. They will face off in a Hardcore Tag Match in Shin-Kiba next week. SAGAT now wants the Hardcore Match to provide Chains for them to use. During their time together in King Legion back in Union both FUMA and SAGAT attacked their opponents with chains.

Kodaka Vs Mike Bailey will take place on the 1st August Tavern Wrestling show. Also happening on 3rd August is the first ever Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix four man tournament.

Iron Man Update, MC.33 Coming To BASARA, Ganbare Prepares For Korakuen

July 13, 2016

Time for an update on the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s tour of America. When we last left the belt it was being held by Ricochet, you know the guy from that gif? No, not the English fella the other one. Yeah him. Since then the title lineage went like this: Brian Metz, Matt Striker, Cheerleader Melissa (by massage), Matt Cross (via too much food), Brian Cage, Joey Ryan, Laura James (as burlesque luchadora Alacrana Plata #2), Buggy Nova (in a proper wrestling match!), Ryan again (not in a proper wrestling match), Scarlett Bordeaux, Rhyno (traded an autograph for the title) and now Robbie E (his win counts as a Ladder Match). Last one is interesting because it’s a TNA guy beating someone who just appeared on an NXT broadcast. So yeah, this championship of all things is now providing the inter-promotional competition some fans have craved for years.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “OSAKA BEER GARDEN WRESTLING 2016”, 24/07/2016
Osaka Okinawa Hall

1. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs OSAKA Joshi Wrestling: Mitomi Masayuki & Chikara Vs Sawako Shimono & Rina Yamashita
2. Hybrid☆Ganbare: Takaku Fuke Vs Takafumi Ito
3. Ganpuro In OSAKA Special Tag Match: Shota & TORU Vs YO-HEY & Shinichiro Tominaga
4. Yukihiro Abe Tomodachi-gun Graduation Test: Minoru Fujita Vs Yukihiro Abe
5. Ganpuro Hardcore Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Ai Shimizu Vs Yumehito Imanari & Bambi

Ken Ohka is continuing his hard work to make Ganbare☆Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall debut a success. Ideas include different seating layouts including a reserved seat placed inside the ring for the entire show. Ohka was told this was done recently by Kuishinbo Kamen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING but he is not deterred by that. Ohka has hundreds of ideas like having chairs placed in the arena balconies. He thinks they can fill thousands more people that way.

It seems that Yumehito Imanari and Bambi have sorted out their problems and are willing to team together. Imanari is thrilled by this news. This Hardcore match is put together to show Osaka what Ganpuro is all about. Each wrestler will have a weapon with them for the match. Bambi has her whip and Imanari is bringing a lot of candy.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS… 2016”, 30/07/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. USA! USA! USA!: Shota Vs American Balloon
2. Transformation And Goddesses, Encounter Gatomubu!: Shinichiro Tominaga & Ai Shimizu Vs Sayaka Obihiro & X
3. Stop It A Veteran Of The Mystery!: Mars Spector Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Rainbow Kawamura
4. Wrestling & Martial Arts DX: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Takafumi Ito & Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Is He A True Friend?: Ken Ohka Vs Minoru Fujita

Ohka stormed a Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya earlier this week requesting Emi Sakura to wrestle for Ganpuro in August. Sakura was offended by Ohka’s attitude and turned down the offer. However Sayaka Obihiro took up the offer instead. Ohka wants to make sure Obihiro will be a good enough replacement by putting her in a tryout match at the end of the month.

Mitomi Masayuki is becoming obsessed over Mars Spector. He wants to avenge Shibata’s loss to Spector and is determined to fight him again and again and again until he wins. His stablemate Rainbow Kawamura offered to help. An enemy of Enjo-gun is his enemy too.
