BASARA “BASARA 155 ~GLITTER~” Results

April 20, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 155 ~GLITTER~”, 20/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Minoru Fujita, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Fujita pinned Kazato with the Tombstone Piledriver (11:50).
2. 3 Way Match: Daisuke Kamibayashi defeated Fuminori Abe, Gouma and Yasu Urano when Kamibayashi pinned Gouma with a Standing Moonsault (7:51).
3. FUMA defeated Takato Nakano with a Cross Armbreaker (11:19).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
*V3 for Sento Minzoku.
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Masato Kamino with the Dragon Kicker (15:11).
*V5 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

Takumi Tsukamoto called Masato Kamino an insanely strong opponent. He fought off his Lariats, avoided being thrown with the Verdict and used a Dragon Kicker to get the win. His next goal is to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ as the reigning Union MAX Champion. Then he can nominated his next challenger.

The time expired in the IRON FIST Tag Titles match right after Ryota Nakatsu gave Isami Kodaka the V Slider. Daiki Shimomura took himself out when he missed a Swanton Bomb while SAGAT was there to break the count when Kodaka had Nakatsu beaten with a Brainbuster. Kodaka got a nearfall with the Diving Double Knee Drop but Nakatsu got back into it with a High Kick, a German Suplex and then the V Slider when time ran out. Nakatsu spoke of his regret to tag in SAGAT to finish the job while SAGAT thinks they would have won if they hit the Big Mac.

Gouma got permission to change the rules to the 3 Way Match. Only two wrestlers were allowed to fight in the ring at one time. The odd man out had to wait on the apron and be tagged in to enter the match. At one point Gouma had Fuminori Abe pinned in La Magistral Cradle but Abe grabbed referee Daisuke Kamibayashi’s hand to stop him from counting three. Under the new rules that counted as a tag and Kamibayashi had to wrestle Gouma. Yasu Urano hit Gouma with a Lariat but fell out of the ring when Kamibayashi lowered the ropes. Kamibayashi then pinned Gouma with a Standing Moonsault and Abe performed the three count to award him the win.

The 2021 Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament will be held from 18th May to 7th July. This year’s tournament is back to being BASARA only after last year’s edition was co-promoted with Dove Pro.

The 5th May show in Itabashi Green Hall will celebrate Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s 10th Anniversary in pro wrestling.

Today is the beginning of a trial period where BASARA is allowing its fans to cheer and make noise during the show, as long as they still wear their protective masks over their mouths and noses.

2. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi

After yesterday’s event we now have Smile Pissari as the KO-D Tag Team Champions and they already have a title defence lined up. Yuji Okabayashi’s schedule is a busy one and his next free date to appear on DDT is next Sunday. The title match is happening because Jun Akiyama wanted a shot in return for giving HARASHIMA the next KO-D Openweight Title shot. Makoto Oishi has been moved out of the opener to be in the main event.

BASARA “BASARA 155 ~GLITTER~”, 20/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
2. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Masato Kamino

Takumi Tsukamoto has been slipping a bit with Masato Kamino pinning him on the last show. Kamino’s use of the Lariat is giving him win after win, enough to grant him a Union MAX Title shot.

The Sparky pair of Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT have been pretty successful and gotten even better with their new tag team finishing move. The Big Mac where Nakatsu (plus another if it is a trios match) jumps onto SAGAT’s back and they all splash down onto the victim. That will give Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura plenty to chew on when the IRON FIST Tag Titles are on the line.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2021 SPRING”, 02/05/2021
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: X & X Vs X & X
2. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: X & X Vs X & X
3. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Final – Current Blast Death Match: X & X Vs X & X

The last slot in the Spring Tag Tournament has been spilled. Atsushi Onita demanded Kuro-chan & Super Sasadango Machine to enter the tournament so he can settle his grudge from last December with them. Sasadango is entering the tournament but he found a better “Kuro-chan” to team with. One that Onita has a lot of history with. His partner is Tetsuhiro Kuroda!

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs X, X, X & X
2. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
3. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

A double title match is added. At least it is supposed to be one. If Saki Akai ends up losing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title before the show then it will just be the DDT Extreme Title on the line so she is in the match no matter what. Chris Brookes promises to come up with a strange match type for them to fight in.

Team Thoroughbred achieved their goal of winning the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles. Now they have to defend them.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!!”, 09/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs X
2. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
3. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

It will be half a year since Naomi Yoshimura’s last match when he returns to action. Yoshimura took time off to recover from cervical injuries after wrestling with back pain for around a year. He asked for Yuki Ueno to be his opponent and it is under consideration.

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 HARASHIMA

Akiyama took down one icon of DDT when he beat Danshoku Dieno. Now he is aiming to take down another. HARASHIMA has been the backbone of DDT more than any other wrestler who stepped foot in the company.

BASARA “BASARA 149 ~GLITTER~” Results

February 16, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 149 ~GLITTER~”, 16/02/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano with the Opa (8:19).
2. Handicap Match: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Minoru Fujita, Gouma & Rekka when FUMA pinned Gouma when FUMA submitted Gouma with a Crab Hold (7:47).
3. Jacket Match: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Cross Heel Hold (R3 1:45).
4. Yasu Urano, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino when Urano pinned Kamino with a Cradle (12:10).
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) defeated SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa when Shimomura pinned Takizawa with the Swanton Bomb (13:38).
*V1 for Sento Minzoku.

Sento Minzoku were challenged by FUMA & Yusuke Kubo for the IRON FIST Tag Titles in a rematch from last year’s IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-final. FUMA is convinced the result back then wasn’t right and that IRON PRIEST is the better team. Daiki Shimomura accepted and wants the match to happen on 23rd March.

Yasu Urano tried to lull Takumi Tsukamoto into a false sense of security with a handshake after their match. Tsukamoto knew what was coming and blocked a sneak kick Urano threw at him. Tsukamoto then pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket and tried to suffocate Urano with it until the others at ringside pulled them apart.

Ryota Nakatsu is getting invested in the Jacket Match concept. He is keeping a ranking and currently places himself in first. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi went into the match ranked 7th and there was no change after Nakatsu tapped him out.

BASARA “BASARA 147 ~GLITTER~” Results

January 26, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 147 ~GLITTER~”, 26/01/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Rekka defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when FUMA submitted Nakano with a Tiger Dance Hold (11:17).
2. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Takizawa pinned Hiroshi with the Tilt 3 (10:24).
3. BASARA Official Rule Jacket Match: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Gouma with a Rear Naked Choke (R4 0:14).
4. Fuminori Abe, Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when Abe pinned Sekine with a Crucifix Pin (10:22).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Yusuke Kubo with a Reverse Crab Hold (15:24).
*V2 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

Yasu Urano challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title and wanted it to happen right there and then just like when he challenged for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title at Ganbare☆Pro recently. Tsukamoto asked for some rest and the two eventually agreed to have the title match on 25th February. Urano kept asking for the match to happen as soon as possible but Tsukamoto wants the match to happen at a big show like the February Shinjuku FACE event. He has a busy schedule that week in February because he will be defending the BJW Death Match Title a few days before.

Everyone in Match #4 did the Kamikaze to each other as their way of saying goodbye to Ryuichi Sekine. When it was Sekine’s turn to do it on Fuminori Abe they both broke down into tears. Sekine was encouraged to finish the move but Abe countered it into a Crucifix Pin for the three count. Isami Kodaka encouraged Sekine to enjoy his break from wrestling and to remember this is not a retirement. He will come back to the ring someday.

Match #3 was turned into an MMA style Jacket Match. Both Ryota Nakatsu and Gouma had to fight in a judo jacket with fingerless gloves. Nakatsu dominated the fight and drained Gouma’s energy until he was finally choked out in Round 4.

SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa want to challenge for the IRON FIST TAG Titles.

BASARA “BASARA 146 ~5TH ANNIVERSARY~” Results

January 20, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 146 ~5TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 20/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Ryota Nakatsu ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
2. Dragon Contra Dragon: Gouma Ryu Vs Trans-Am ★ Ryuji ended in a Double Countout (6:30).
*Both Gouma Ryu and Trans-Am ★ Ryuji cannot use Ryu in their name anymore.
3. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Naoki Tanizaki, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa when Kubo pinned SAGAT with the Death Metal Roll (9:17).
4. Minoru Fujita & Ikuto Hidaka defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Fujita pinned Nakano with the SAYONARA Modified Tombstone Piledriver (12:05).
5. Match For The Right To Take The Name Ryuichi Sekine II: Fuminori Abe defeated Yasu Urano with the Manjigatame (5:40).
*Fuminori Abe wins the right to take the name Ryuichi Sekine II.
6. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) when Kodaka pinned Oosugi with a Backwards Cradle (12:35).
*Speed Of Sounds fail in V8. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura become the 3rd IRON FIST Tag Champions!
7. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated FUMA with the Running Zudon (16:35).
*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

Takumi Tsukamoto and FUMA have become different people in the five years since BASARA was launched. Tsukamoto admits that his style of wrestling does not match with FUMA’s. But that is why he wanted to beat him today in order to retain the Union MAX Title. He was nervous to defend the title in the main event of BASARA’s 5th Anniversary and he is proud to be a double champion along with the BJW Death Match Title he won on 2nd January. Yusuke Kubo challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title on 26th January. Kubo wants it to be an exciting match between two wrestlers from Kyushu.

The IRON FIST Tag Titles are now claimed by Sento Minzoku! The new champions edged out the win when Isami Kodaka countered the Tsuki no Ishi into a cradle for the three count. Kodaka felt he was at his limit and his partner Daiki Shimomura was the key for their victory today. Shimomura wants to nominate their first challengers as soon as possible while Kodaka is more patient and prefers to wait for a team to challenge them. He understands the scenery of BASARA is changing around him so he wants to have more fun with the position he is in. For Speed Of Sounds they are thinking about taking a different direction after having a dominant title reign. Both Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga want to chase after singles titles because they are more than just as a tag team.

Since Ryuichi Sekine is going to take time off soon, Match #5 was chosen to determine who will become Ryuichi Sekine II. Both Fuminori Abe and Yasu Urano entered to Sekine’s entrance music and attempted to use his moves on each other. Abe couldn’t decide on which of Sekine’s move to use for the finish so he went for his own Manjigatame instead. He then told everyone only the original Ryuichi Sekine should use the Let’s Combine and he hopes he will come back when he feels like it.

The double countout in the Dragon Contra Dragon match happened when Trans-Am ★ Ryuji chased Gouma Ryu around ringside. They scrambled to get back in before the twenty count but both fell to the floor as the referee counted 20. As a result, both Gouma Ryu and Trans-Am ★ Ryuji will get “Ryu” stripped from their names.

Sekine assures everyone he is not retiring after his match with Ryota Nakatsu. He just needs a break because right now he can no longer do various things at once. He wants to take time off, study something new and maybe when he comes back he will be 2 meters tall and can enter the heavyweight division.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ -CHRISTMAS EVE EDITION-” Results

December 24, 2020

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ -CHRISTMAS EVE EDITION-”, 24/12/2020
Kitazawa Town Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Homoiro Clover Z Vs NωA Full Scale Battle ~ Oishi Contra Oishi: Danshoku Dieno, Akito & Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Makoto Oishi ended in a draw when everyone pinned Oishi with the Combined Miracle Ecstasy (10:37).
2. DDT x Ganpro Exchange Battle: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota defeated HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata when Shota pinned Hirata with a Mexican Clutch (12:58).
3. On The Day Of Your Birthday! 45th Anniversary Of Toru Owashi’s Birth!: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Toru Owashi and Keigo Nakamura when Sekine pinned Nakamura with a Backslide Pin (9:08).
4. Special Referee Series Part 2: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Yasu Urano with a Bionic Elbow (10:48). (Special Referees: Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi)
5. BOYZ-Like Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Jun Masaoka with the Praying Mantis Bomb (11:15).
6. DNA Alumni Association 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & Mizuki Watase when Higuchi submitted Katsumata with the Canadian Backbreaker (15:47).

The main event was a throwback to DNA with each wrestler wearing their old wrestling gear from the days when they were on that brand. After the match Akito came out and thanked Shunma Katsumata for wrestling twice on the show. Katsumata complained about having to do that on Christmas Eve. He hates it so much he now hates Christmas! Makoto Oishi, Danshoku Dieno and MAO came out to try and cheer him up because the BOYZ were supposed to give a present to the all female audience. Instead, they told Katsumata to close his eyes because the women were going to give him a gift. When he opened them back up he saw the audience waving glow sticks to music for him. This made Katsumata happy because it felt like a sauna for his eyes. He thanked everyone and asked when the next BOYZ show will take place. Akito said it will happen next March.

Chris Brookes teased Jun Masaoka by putting a Santa hat on his head at the start of the match. He also called him cute a lot. Masaoka used the referee as a shield and also a step to launch himself at Brookes to make up for the height difference. Brookes caught him in midair with a Knee Strike and immediately hit the Praying Mantis Bomb for the win.

Match #4 was only mean to have one special referee with Antonio Honda in the role. However he tripped and hurt his knee when entering the ring and called for somebody to replace him. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi came out and used his yoga knowledge to heal Honda. In return he was allowed take part in the Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yasu Urano match as the second referee. They got in each other’s way, Hiroshi missed pinfalls, tapouts and illegal moves because he was too busy exercising and Honda kept taking 1,000 yen bribes to switch sides. Takeshita appealed to Honda by setting up the Bionic Elbow but Urano blocked it. Hiroshi made fun of him over it which made Honda mad. Honda remembered that he, Takeshita and Hiroshi were all part of the same unit Happy Motels. Hiroshi remembered too and he began singing with Honda over their happy memories together. Meanwhile Takeshita hit Urano with the Bionic Elbow and won with the move. Hiroshi then sang “Amazing Grace” as one last gift for everyone.

Toru Owashi, Ryuichi Sekine and Keigo Nakamura all wanted to appeal to the audience but got little response to their antics. Wearing Santa hats didn’t work, wrestling didn’t work, writing on each other’s faces with a marker didn’t work, trying (and failing) to play a saxophone didn’t work. The only one laughing at their antics was Daisuke Kiso and that made the three of them look even more foolish. They all attacked Kiso but he fought back with a mixture of lucha and MMA spots. Nakamura encouraged Owashi to climb the top rope and win with a flying move because it is his birthday today. When Owashi got up there, Sekine rolled Nakamura over with a Backslide and stole the win. Afterwards Akito came out and surveyed the audience over who their favourite performer was in the match. Kiso received the biggest applause so he was the winner. Akito granted him a regular spot in BOYZ for his reward.

Even though Match #2 was between a DDT team and a Ganbare☆Wrestling show. However Kazuki Hirata and Shota wanted the match to be wrestled in a speedy Young Communication style. Neither of them think HARASHIMA and Shuichiro Katsumura are capable of doing that because of their age.

During the show opening ceremony, Makoto Oishi was pulled in two directions by Homoiro Clover Z and NωA. He was unintentionally dragged to the back by because both teams refused to let him go. Their match was first on the card and Oishi had to participate in the musical entrances for both teams, tiring him out before the match even began. He wrestled for both teams, switching back and forth throughout the match while each side’s music in the background changed for who he was fighting with. It reached the point where Oishi didn’t know what to do so he ended up attacking everybody in the ring! Dieno, Akito, Katsumata and MAO all worked together to fight back and they all piled on top of Oishi to pin him. Everyone except for Oishi were announced as the winners. Oishi got on the microphone and said he loves both Homoiro Clover Z and NωA so he cannot choose between them. Suddenly, Hideki Okatani ran into the ring angry at Oishi for not choosing Junretsu. Okatani stabbed Oishi and laughed as the room went dark.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano with a Cross Body Turnback (7:01).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Gouma Ryu with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:05).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a No Contest (12:34).
4. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Fuminori Abe with the Let’s Combine (10:52).
5. Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Masato Kamino defeated FUMA, Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Running Zudon (15:49).
6. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Final: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with the Isamiashi Zan (20:26).

A Sento Minzoku team has won this year’s IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT! The team of Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura will now challenge Speed Of Sounds for the IRON FIST TAG Titles at Korakuen Hall on 20th January.

Takumi Tsukamoto chose his opponent for the main event of BASARA’s 5th Anniversary show. He narrowed it down to FUMA and Daichi Kazato because he faced against both of them in the main event tag of the very first BASARA show. In the end, Tsukamoto chose FUMA and their match will have the Union MAX Title on the line.

The Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a draw when Hiroshi began to sing “Silent Night”. Fujita joined in and they left the ring together in harmony while the match was still going on. The referee called off the match because the wrestlers had no reason to fight each other.
