DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II THE FINAL”, 05/12/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku

5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Since Kenta Kobashi will be in attendance to see the D-Ou Grand Prix final, Tetsuya Endo decided to visit him at his gym during the week to get some feedback on his tournament performance. Endo also brought up his plans to create a new unit. He asked Kobashi for advice, citing Kobashi’s experience leading units such as GET and Burning. Kobashi said a unit needs a strategist so Endo’s position would improve if he finds a councilor. Endo immediately asked Kobashi if he could take that role in the unit. Kobashi declined because he is not interested in returning to the ring. He did however invite Endo back to his gym again after the Grand Prix so they could talk more about potential members for Endo’s new unit.

While I’ve been writing up this blog post, all of a sudden DDT sends out a tweet in English hyping up a big mystery name. “That BIG NAME that everyone’s talking about recently will be at DDT 12.26 NEVER MIND 2021 in YOYOGI! The name will be announced at DDT 12.5 Korakuen Hall! Stay tuned LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!” I’m out of the loop on this one.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN MAEBASHI”, 11/12/2021
Gunma YAMADA Green Dome Maebashi Sub-Event Area

1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata

6. Maebashi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima Vs HARASHIMA, Yuji Hino & Chris Brookes

A heavyweight match gives Naomi Yoshimura a chance to get past his poor D-Ou performances. Yukio Naya is still trying to get his act together but picked up some recent wins here and there.

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Banana Senga

Banana Senga scored a big win on the last show when he pinned Isami Kodaka in their tag match. He later stepped up to challenge Ryota Nakatsu next for the Union MAX Title. Around five years ago Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a match and while he accepts the blame over the injury, he doesn’t think he is responsible now to pay for any compensation towards Senga. Instead he is willing to defend the MAX Title against him.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN FITNESS SHOP NAGOYA PARCO SAKAE”, 17/12/2021
Aichi Fitness Shop Nagoya Parco Sakae Store

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO

DDT is fitting in one last Rojo Pro Wrestling match before the holidays.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “DASH! GLIDE! NAGOYA CASTLE!”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Arai

Somebody close to Yuki Arai will be in attendance for her big match to do guest commentary. It is Shiori Aoki from SKE48. Arai & Aoki worked together as a TikTok duo called Oshiyuki.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021
Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium

0. Dark Match – DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Vent Vert Jack
1. Special Single Match: Shuji Kondo Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

The “big name” is going to be the Egg isn’t it? The Egg shows up and wins the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title because of that’s what should happen. Pay DDT the money to do this, Netflix!

BASARA “BASARA 180 ~WHITE WAGTAIL~”, 26/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Nakatsu accepting Senga’s challenge for the MAX Title on two weeks notice came as part of a deal. That match happens first then Sparky gets an IRON FIST Tag Titles shot against Speed Of Sounds two weeks after that.

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~” Results

November 30, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil Kraken & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Kraken with the Samurai’s Return (13:34).
2. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Kubo submitted Gouma with the Crossface Lock (9:28).
3. Masahiro Takanashi defeated FUMA with the Uwabami (14:58).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Senga pinned Kodaka with the Cancun Tornado (15:09).
*V1 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with a Rolling Back Clutch Hold (20:12).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.

All is good between Sparky after their Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu said only people who are the same age and on the same team could fight each other like they do. It was a fight to the death but all that separated Nakatsu from SAGAT was a rolling pin. Nakatsu says it is his new move and he wants to call it the Nakaroll.

Speed Of Sounds approached Sparky after the main event. Banana Senga said he has a history with Nakatsu. Five years ago they were supposed to have a singles match but before it took place Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a tag team bout. Senga says Nakatsu owes him a lot of money over it so he should get a MAX Title shot on 14th December. Nakatsu agreed but in return he wants an IRON FIST Tag Titles match with SAGAT against as his partner on 26th December. Senga didn’t want to commit because what if he breaks his jaw again in the MAX Title match? Tsutomu Oosugi encouraged him to win the MAX Title, then they can defend the IRON FIST Titles and then Senga will be a double champion!

Usually every Christmas Tokyo Joshi Pro puts together some special matches that are randomly chosen by lottery. They are doing this format a little earlier this year but this time around it is for the entire show! Ten matches, each one with a seven minute time limit, will all be randomly chosen on 4th December. There are 21 wrestlers available so one of the matches is a 3 Way Match so there will be nobody left out.

GANBARE☆PRO “HOME ALONE 2021”, 25/12/2021

The final Ganbare☆Pro show of the year is happening on Christmas Day featuring friends old and new. Mizuki Watase and Tyson Maeguchi are included in Ganpro’s signature match, the Survival Tag.

Miku Aono and Misa Matsui are both from Actwres girl’Z. Hey if Ganpro wants to gather together all the AWG girls and make Ganbare☆Joshi their new home then I’d be fine with that.

BASARA “BASARA 175 & 176” Results

November 27, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 175 ~THE 15TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Lil Kraken with an Inverted Hurricanrana (10:54).
2. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT defeated Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato when SAGAT pinned Kazato after the Big Mac (13:00).
3. Give Up Only Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Masahiro Takanashi ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
4. Gouma 16th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Fuminori Abe defeated FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Abe pinned Hiroshi with a School Boy (9:53).
5. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Oosugi pinned Nakano with the Pictures At An Exhibition: Kobito (14:31).

Even though Gouma was not there to celebrate his anniversary match, everyone involved dressed up like him, carried law books and did his spots.

BASARA “BASARA 176 ~THE 16TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Isami Kodaka defeated Lil Kraken with an Octopus Hold (8:48).
2. 3 Way Match: FUMA defeated Daiki Shimomura and Yasu Urano when FUMA submitted both Shimomura and Urano with a Camel Clutch Boston Crab (9:52).
3. Masato Kamino defeated Yusuke Kubo with the Lariat (11:28).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Oosugi pinned Kazato with a Cradle (11:44).
5. Ryota Nakatsu 7th Anniversary Match: Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Takato Nakano when Nakatsu pinned Nakano after the Happy Set (18:05).

The Happy Set is another version of the Big Mac, where a bunch more wrestlers stack up on each other before hitting a combined splash on the victim. In other words it’s named after the Happy Meal, except Japan calls it the Happy Set. It’s exactly the kind of treat everyone should get for Ryota Nakatsu’s celebration. Poor SAGAT had to carry all that weight though.

Ganbare☆Climax Finals Tomorrow, BASARA Anniversaries, D-Ou Final Is Set

November 22, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 FINAL ROUND”, 23/11/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa
2. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Yumehito Imanari Vs Tetsuhiro Kuroda
3. Ganpro Special Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Yuna Manase, YuuRI & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Baliyan Akki
4. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Taison Maeguchi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Wakadori Vs DNA! Ganpro Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Kouki Iwasaki Vs Mizuki Watase
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Final: X Vs X

We already saw what Shuichiro Katsumura and Yumehito Imanari have been doing to prepare for the Ganbare☆Climax finals. This week the outsiders Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Tatsuhito Takaiwa were interviewed about their thoughts over the tournament. Kuroda was so impressed by Ken Ohka taking so many Lariats in their match that he wants him to be his first challenger if he becomes the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. He understands that Imanari is growing stronger but Kuroda has been wrestling for 29 years now. He wants to win because he can.

Takaiwa has mixed opinions on his tournament matches so far. Taison Maeguchi is a complete novice in pro wrestling so Takaiwa only cared about bringing out his feelings in the ring. The match against Mizuki Watase however felt more like pro wrestling. Both matches warmed Takaiwa’s heart in some way. He will be cautious against Katsumura but believes he has the heart to win the tournament. If he wins the Spirit Of Ganbare Title then he will have a Triple Crown of indie titles made up of that, the UWA World Jr. Title and the WEW Jr. Title. Takaiwa was also the first ever IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champion with Shinjiro Otani. Since Otani has a relationship with Ganbare☆Pro that means Takaiwa has no choice but to become the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion!

BASARA “BASARA 175 ~THE 15TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Lil Kraken
2. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato
3. Give Up Only Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Masahiro Takanashi
4. Gouma 16th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Fuminori Abe Vs FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
5. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

Two anniversaries are being celebrated by BASARA later this week. Gouma has his 16th anniversary in wrestling. However he will not be at the show that is celebrating his career. What is this, Survivor Series?

BASARA “BASARA 176 ~THE 16TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021

1. Isami Kodaka Vs Lil Kraken
2. 3 Way Match: FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Yasu Urano

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II THE FINAL”, 05/12/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku
0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Mizuki Watase
1. Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito, Saki Akai & Toui Kojima
2. Special Single Match: Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Sanshiro Takagi
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II Special 10-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuji Hino & Bodyguard Vs HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes, MAO & Yuji Okabayashi
5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

The final is all about The 37KAMIINA. High school classmates Yuki Ueno and Konosuke Takeshita both won their blocks and have a big clash set for Korakuen Hall. Takeshita is unbeaten in this tournament while holding the KO-D Openweight Title. Ueno has climbed tooth and nail past a very difficult cast of opponents to meet his friend up at the top.

Daisuke Sasaki revealed that around ten years ago, Soma Takao made him eat dog food. He didn’t give much detail as to why it happened but the humiliation never left him. All this time they were together in DAMNATION and Sasaki let his anger over it linger. Apparently this was all part of a very long term plan. Sasaki brought Takao into DAMNATION just so he could eventually attack him from behind and make him eat dog food!

All of the D-Ou Grand Prix participants who failed to make the final are in a big 10-Man Tag Match. It’s the A Block Vs the B Block!

Two weeks before their Current Blast Death Match, Pheromones get Sanshiro Takagi all to themselves in a Handicap Match. Takagi has to have a trick up his sleeve otherwise why would he end up in a situation like this?

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 12/12/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Extreme Title – No Seconds Rule: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari

The DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi has accused Yumehito Imanari as being the root of all evil behind the existence of Pheromones. He is calling in Shinya Aoki to deal with Imanari and get rid of him. Aoki also decided to put the DDT Extreme Title on the line and used his power as champion to ban all ringside attendants. That means Pheromones cannot be in Imanari’s corner. Imanari promised the match will still be indecent and he can’t wait for Aoki to experience it.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Hyper Misao
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Susumu Yokosuka, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Kuro-chan

Hyper Misao felt left out when Shunma Katsumata didn’t include her in yesterday’s Hardcore Dark Match. She also wants revenge for The 37KAMIINA humiliating her at the Tokyo Dome last month. The solution is to challenge Katsumata to a Hardcore Match!

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021
Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium

0. Dark Match – DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Vent Vert Jack
1. Special Single Match: Shuji Kondo Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

Two birthday gifts were given to Kazuki Hirata for next month’s big show in Nagoya. He is confused about both. He doesn’t understand why he is getting a match against Shuji Kondo because they never wrestled before despite being connected via DRAGONGATE. Hirata also doesn’t know why bringing in Maku Donaruto is a present for him.

Pheromones Don’t Want To Be Stopped, Rookies Get 1st Hardcore Match, Hikari Vs Miu For IP Title

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Decision Match – No DQ Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shinya Aoki & Yusuke Okada
2. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya
3. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Bodyguard & Naomi Yoshimura
4. Special Hardcore Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Chris Brookes & Drew Parker
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: HARASHIMA Vs Kazusada Higuchi
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi

Okay, now we have the official match order for the show. Konosuke Takeshita versus Yuji Okabayashi is the headlining match.

Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 06/11/2021
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Haruna Neko
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi VsNodoka Tenma Vs Mahiro Kiryu

It’s been ages since Tokyo Joshi Pro held an event in Yokohama. They did a charity match there last year but this will be their first proper event in two years. The focus will be on the upcoming International Princess Title match taking place later this month.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “HIKARI NO ROCK 2021”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Japan-China Full Scale Battle Special Single Match: Cherry Vs Choun-Shiryu
2. Japan-US-India Full Scale Battle Special 3 Way Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Shota Vs Baliyan Akki
3. Ganjo Special Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Seiya Morohashi & Moeka Haruhi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shinichiro Tominaga & Rina Amikura
4. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 2: YuuRI Vs Maya Yukihi
5. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Saki Akai Vs Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE

Some international flavour is being added to the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. Also can Keisuke Ishii and Shinichiro Tominaga get along after Tominaga quickly eliminated Ishii from the Ganbare☆Climax?

Rina Amikura is from Actwres girl’Z.

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 2ND ROUND”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

7. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2B: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yumehito Imanari

The main four Ganjo girls are also involved in the Ganbare☆Pro show later that day. HARUKAZE is on a win streak against Yuna Manase. Meanwhile YuuRI is still looking for her first win and Moeka Haruhi is always a threat.

BASARA “BASARA 174 ~TAKAGARI 6~”, 13/11/2021
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT & Fuminori Abe

Speed Of Sounds and Masahiro Takanashi will be on the show. I believe Takanashi still owes Fuminori Abe that rematch.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata Produce Match – My First Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuya Koroku Vs Hideki Okatani & Toui Kojima

5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: HARASHIMA Vs Yuji Okabayashi

Who let Shunma Katsumata do this? He’s putting together a Hardcore match for the rookies! Doesn’t he know that rookies break easily? Yuya Koroku, Hideki Okatani and Toui Kojima will take part in their first ever Hardcore match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
2. International Princess Title Match: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The trios time limit draw at the last show has left both Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe wanting more against each other. Watanabe asked Noa for a singles match and Noa is willing to put the IP Title on the line for it. She has defended the title against Raku already so if she beats Watanabe then everyone can agree that Noa is the best of the Up Up Girls!

The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~” Results

October 24, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~”, 24/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).
2. Gouma & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned Kazato with a Diving Body Press (6:16).
3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.

BASARA “BASARA 171 ~GLITTER~” Results

September 28, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 171 ~GLITTER~”, 28/09/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano when SAGAT submitted Nakano with a Modified Backbreaker (9:32)
2. Jacket Double Bout: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma defeated Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage when Hiroshi used the Infinite STO on Kazato (R4 1:58).

4. Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Abe submitted Oosugi with the Manjigatame (11:49).
5. Union MAX Next Challenger Decision League – Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (21:02).

Ryota Nakatsu wins the Decision League and will face Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title at Korakuen Hall on 24th October! Nakatsu praised FUMA and admitted he could have lost to him today. Nakatsu called out Tsukamoto and called him really strong. Tsukamoto returned the compliment but told him he isn’t going to win the MAX Title from him. Nakatsu told the fans he and Tsukamoto are both 30 years old and they are going to have a passionate fight at Korakuen.

The 6-Man Tag Match was built around two things. The first was the amount of champions involved in the match. Isami Kodaka, Fuminori Abe and Takuya Nomura all entered carrying belts from several different promotions. The second was Astronauts and Speed Of Sounds facing off to see who is stronger. Abe made Tsutomu Oosugi submit to win the match but asked SOS if they could fight them again on 24th October for the IRON FIST Tag Titles. SOS accepted and Banana Senga said they will show Astronauts the true essence of tag team wrestling.

Toru Owashi attacked Isami Kodaka and Daiki Shimomura after Match #3. He almost Choke Slammed Shimomura onto a pile of chairs but was stopped and kicked out of the venue. As Owashi was leaving he told the Sento Minzoku wrestlers to polish the UWA 6-Man Tag Team Title belts every day because his team are coming to take them on 24th October!

Extra stipulations were added to the Jacket Match after every round. The first round was using regular tag rules, the second turned into a Tornado Tag Match and the third round onwards allowed weapons to be used.
