1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Takato Nakano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Takagari (6:47).
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Masato Kamino defeated Isami Kodaka with the Lariat (7:43).
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takato Nakano with the V Slider (5:15).
4. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Masato Kamino defeated FUMA with a Cradle (10:18).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe when Hidaka submitted Inoue with the Shawn Capture (15:17).
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Lariat (17:16).
Masato Kamino is the last man standing afer winning three matches in the 1-Day Tournament. All of his opponents were former Union MAX Champions too. He beat Isami Kodaka clean in Round 1, survived FUMA’s Crossface Lock to roll him up for a pinfall in Round 2 and outlasted Ryota Nakatsu with a Lariat to the back of the head in the final. The tournament was Kamino’s idea in the first place and he received praise from Takato Nakano (who also beat a former champion in Takumi Tsukamoto before getting eliminated by Nakatsu) for winning it.
Kamino told the fans he wants to get his MAX Title shot at the last BASARA show of the year. Suddenly Minoru Fujita entered the room to everyone’s surprise because he was already wrestling in Shinjuku FACE today. He got in the ring in a hurry and told Kamino they will have the title match at 29th December, which is what Kamino wanted anyway. Fujita wants to end the year with a successful title defence so he can say 2024 was his year from start to finish. Kamino shared a toast with him to confirm the match rather than go through a contract signing ceremony.
Itsuki Aoki now has the distinction of being the first woman to wrestle in BASARA. Her Shawn Capture leader Ikuto Hidaka won their match by using, what else, the Shawn Capture for the submission victory.
DNA “DNA 10TH ANNIVERSARY”, 28/11/2024 Shinjuku FACE 312 Fans – No Vacancy
1. MAO & Mizuki Watase Vs Yuki Iino & Masato Kamino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
2. Akira Jo & Yuki Ishida defeated Choun-Shiryu & Rekka when Jo pinned Shiryu with the Spinebuster (8:21).
3. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Yuni with the German Suplex (10:55).
4. Banana Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daiki Shimomura & Check Shimatani when Oosugi pinned Shimomura with the Pictures At An Exhibition (13:42).
5. Kota Umeda, Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Keigo Nakamura, To-y & Yuya Koroku when Umeda pinned Nakamura with a Right High Kick (15:00).
6. Yuki Ueno defeated Diego with the WR (16:22).
During the Autumn of 2024 DDT surprised everyone by unveiling an entire class of pro wrestling students ready to make their debuts. They were all part of a sub-brand called DNA (DDT New Attitude) and its first show was held on 24th November of that year. Some of the wrestlers came and went but many were around for DNA’s run until 2018 when the generation was ready to graduate into full time pro wrestlers for DDT or its other brands. The generation reunited here today to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of DNA’s first show. Those who are still active in wrestling wanted to show how much they have grown since then while a few of those who moved on from the ring showed up to see old friends again.
The main event was planned to be Yuki Ueno against Shunma Katsumata but an injury forced Katsumata to pull out of the match. Diego, the wrestler from Chile who wrestled on DNA shows as Guanchulo offered to step in as Katsumata’s replacement as a favor for his Los Amigos tag partner. Diego tried to win by using the Crossface Lock but Ueno fought back with Dropkicks and pinned him with the WR. Ueno said when he started his wrestling career in DNA he didn’t know what to do but Diego was there to make his life in the dorm better. He told Diego that they should have another match either in Japan or Chile. He also wants the match with Katsumata to happen in a DNA ring eventually. Ueno wonders maybe he and Diego can team together and beat up Katsumata instead! Diego will be heading back home soon and everyone here will be in his heart.
Wrestlers from the current D GENERATIONS era of DDT were also part of the show to show how DDT continues to look towards the future. The semi-main event was a 6-Man Tag pitting DNA against D GENERATIONS. Kota Umeda, Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki had all wrestled on the first DNA show and were a united trio against Keigo Nakamura, To-y & Yuya Koroku. The match paired off Nakatsu against To-y, Iwasaki against Koroku and came down to Umeda pinning Nakamura with a Right High Kick. Both teams showed interest in having more matches against each other. The younger fighters want to surpass their seniors while Umeda in particular still wants to prove his vision of DNA was always the right one.
One of the regular tag teams put together in DNA was Gran MilliMeters so it was an emotional reunion for Daiki Shimomura & Check Shimatani. They lost to Speed Of Sounds in a competitive match but they didn’t let that result ruin their night. Shimatani is currently busy wrestling in Mexico these days but he did not want to miss this anniversary and felt many emotions when he got the invitation to take part. SOS felt like they deserved some attention too because this year is their 20th Anniversary in wrestling.
Yuni from DDT and Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro battled each other in another segment of the show dedicated to the new generation, the DDTeeeen!! project in particular. Nakamura got the upper hand by doing the Michinoku Driver II and won when he pinned Yuni with a German Suplex. Nakamura is happy to win but said he has never fought the coach who taught them. He wants to meet and beat that guy to finally get closure from DDTeeeen!! Yuni thought there was no way he could lose to Nakamura but was proven wrong. He wants to wrestle him again as well as Ilusion.
DNA was only around for a few years but it was long enough for a heel unit to pop up and cause trouble. The Naomi Kingdom was led by Naomi Yoshimura back when he was a young punk with a chip on his shoulder. He couldn’t wrestle today because he is still rehabilitating from his neck injury but he still came here to watch one of his stablemates Akira Jo wrestle. Jo’s tag partner Yuki Ishida is connected to Yoshimura through Harimao. Ishida believes if he was around for DNA he would have been a Naomi Kingdom member too. The opposing team were frustrated after losing the match. Rekka wants to fight Yoshimura anytime he is able to wrestle again. The veteran Choun-Shiryu didn’t like how he was treated because of his age and promised to fight again at the 15th Anniversary when he will be 51 years old.
A time limit draw was the result of the opening tag match featuring four of the most established wrestlers from DNA who are currently still active. MAO & Mizuki Watase were the tenacious pairing while Yuki Iino & Masato Kamino fought them as the team of muscleheads. When time was running out the wrestlers yelled that they weren’t going to lose to each other. Both teams were reaching their limit when the 15 minute time limit ran out and the match was ruled a draw. Watase said they can have a rematch anywhere if the others want to.
There was an entrance ceremony before the first match for all of the wrestlers taking part. Also Katsumata was joined by Kazusada Higuchi and Suguru Miyatake to greet the audience at the start of the show.
BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~”, 17/11/2024 Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR ??? Fans – Unannounced

After the main event Masato Kamino declared himself the next challenger for the Union MAX Title. However several other wrestlers came out and argued one by one that they should get the title shot instead. Rather than have a Battle Royal to determine the No.1 Contender, Kamino came up with the idea of doing a one day tournament on 29th November. Kamino, Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano, Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka and FUMA are the six wrestlers taking part. Lil’ Kraken also wanted to get involved but everyone else rejected him.

Right now Yuni is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion so odds are good the title will be brought over to Seattle for the weekend.

The DNA reunion is shaping up. Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuki Ueno is put together because those two wrestlers were a vital part of what was considered DNA’s second chapter.

Okubo’s final match for now will be against Yuki Kamifuku. Her opponent is not going to take it easy on her though. Kamifuku said she is going to pluck out Okubo’s eyes and sell them off like jewelry!
BASARA “BASARA 260 ~KOO~”, 30/10/2024 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
Over the weekend BASARA announced that Daiki Shimomura’s one year suspension had come to an end and he will be returning to wrestling at the end of this month. Shimomura was suspended from all BASARA related activities last October over an incident that was only reported as inappropriate behavior from his private life. To this day I still haven’t heard anything to even suggest what the incident was. But it was enough that BASARA had to make a public apology afterward while Shimomura had to disappear from wrestling for a year. His return match has him in the ring with the other members of Sento Minzoku.
1. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Harutoki

All of the Right To Challenge Shields have been used up so now its back to traditional ways to get title matches. Chris Brookes challenged Shinya Aoki for the KO-D Openweight Title to see which one of them loves DDT more.
The feud between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A continues with Takeshi Masada and Ilusion facing each other one on one. Ilusion wants to destroy Masada’s pretty face!
An all mascot showdown is taking place thanks to Pokotan and Touchi-kun. Originally Pokotan wanted to fight the Japan Self-Defence Force mascot but changed his tune after watching Touchi-kun’s training for the match. Now Pokotan wants to team up with Touchi-kun to take on another tag team. DDT held a press conference today annnouncing that the other team will also be made up of mascots. Oshinari-kun is the mascot for the Oshinari Shopping District and Higapyon is the mascot of Tokyo Higashi Shinkin Bank, the business that owns the naming rights for the venue. Shinichiro Kawamatsu brought the two mascots to a shrine for the announcement but didn’t expect Pokotan to show up and attack Oshinari-kun with a steel basin! However he held back from attacking Higapyon because he thinks that mascot is cute.
Tickets for the show are free so there are a lot of sponsorships up and down the card to fund the event.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN ASAKUSA”, 09/10/2024 Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater 240 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
0. Dark Match ~ Sponsored By Nariagari: KAKARU & Tawaramachi Kid Jr. defeated Shosaku Inoue & Tataki Torino when KAKARU pinned Inoue with the Fly! Nitoyaro (11:54).
1. Special Single Match: Yukio Naya defeated Antonio Honda with a Crab Hold (7:21).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Moka Miyamoto defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Rashomon (6:54).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko defeated Shunma Katsumata, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Takao with the Danshoku Driver (12:42). *Danshoku Dieno wins Soma Takao’s Blue Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, Akito & Kazuma Sumi when Paul pinned Sumi with the Reverse Splash (10:51).
5. Special Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura when Nakatsu pinned Nakamura with the V Slider (13:15).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Koroku with the Kojima Impact (19:53).
The Spear was the turning point in the main event. Yuki Iino was able to hit To-y with the move like he usually does but he used it again when the match broke down and this time tackled Yuya Koroku by accident. To-y then got the upper hand by giving Iino a Brainbuster and he pinned Koroku with the Kojima Impact. A triumphant To-y told Iino after the match that no matter how many times he is knocked down, he will always get back up. It will keep happening until To-y finally breaks Iino and wins the DDT Universal Title! Backstage MAO says he and To-y keep having to encourage each other for their upcoming matches. MAO lost the Universal Title to Iino so he is cheering on To-y to win it for him. To-y is encouraging MAO to be brave and fight Kota Umeda again because MAO was always scared of him back in DNA.
Most of Harimao were back together. Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida were teaming up while Naomi Yoshimura was present for the match. However Yoshimura is still not cleared to return to wrestling yet and Nakatsu claims he is banned from entering Kyushu so that’s why Ishida has chosen wrestlers from outside Harimao to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles next week. Ishida will instead team with Akito & Yukio Naya. He is calling the team the Dosukoi Three Musketeers.
Chris Brookes is now focused on getting revenge on DAMNATION T.A. He didn’t team with anyone else from SCHADENFREUDE International today but that didn’t stop him from attacking his enemies before the match began. Daisuke Sasaki later complained about Brookes fighting dirty and asked if it’s because he’s mad that Ilusion belongs to DAMNATION T.A now? Brookes promised SCHADENFREUDE will kill DAMNATION T.A at Korakuen Hall later this month. Meanwhile KANON mocked Akito for only challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles because Ishida told him to join his team. Sasaki suggested that KANON should fight Akito for the DDT Extreme Title instead.
Today’s show was taking place on Jun Akiyama’s birthday but it is Danshoku Dieno who left with a present. He pinned Soma Takao to take one of his Right To Challenge Shields. Dieno already has an idea of what to do with the Shield but isn’t telling anyone what it is. Also in the match Kazuki Hirata complained he is always being booked against Yoshihiko so he attacked the doll with skewers and his team injured the doll with a Super Piledriver. However later in the match the room went dark and Yoshihiko made a dramatic reappearance from the rafters. Shunma Katsumata accused Yoshihiko of copying Sting so Yoshihiko attacked him with the skewers.
The show had several comedians booked to perform in-between some of the matches. Sanshiro Takagi took part in one of the skits dressed as Kenshiro from Fist Of The North Star.

Yoshiko Hasegawa won’t be there because of a scheduling conflict. Runa Okubo is out of action with an injury she suffered during her match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 03/10/2024 Shinjuku FACE
1. Jun Akiyama, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi Vs Toru Owashi, Masahiro Takanashi & Ilusion
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Keigo Nakamura & To-y
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno
On the day that Makoto Oishi’s contract ends with DDT he gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Danshoku Dieno. The two of them have never held the titles together and don’t even know what will happen next if they beat ShunMao. It won’t be the last time we will ever see Oishi in DDT but whenever he does show up again it will be as a freelancer. The match means a lot to MAO & Shunma Katsumata too because Oishi has been a mentor to them for their entire careers.
Ilusion has gotten SCHADENFREUDE International a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles but he isn’t allowed to be on the challenger team. DAMNATION T.A don’t want to defend the titles against him but have no problem putting the belts on the line against the rest of SCHADENFREUDE.
Out of all the possible DDT Universal Title challengers stepping forward, To-y is one of the more unlikely to beat Yuki Iino. But he is looking for ways to get a title shot. He couldn’t go through with cashing in his Right To Challenge Shield because Iino physically stopped him at every opportunity. Now To-y no longer has the Shield but is taking the chance of facing Iino directly in a tag match. This is all if Iino is still the champion after his defence with Yukio Naya of course.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’24”, 06/10/2024 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazahiro Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
4. Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Shino Suzuki
5. Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase & HIMAWARI
6. Ryo Mizunami Vs Arisu Endo
7. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Xia Zhao
8. Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita Vs Meiko Satomura & Shoko Nakajima
When news came out about Meiko Satomura’s plan to retire from pro wrestling next year, Miyu Yamashita immediately went to Tetsuya Koda asking him to bring Satomura back to Tokyo Joshi Pro for one more match. Yamashita never got along with Satomura in their interactions together back in 2017 because Satomura wasn’t impressed with her as a wrestler. So now here we are seven years later and this might be Yamashita’s final chance to measure herself up against the legend. Miu Watanabe and Shoko Nakajima are also getting in on the action to get their one and only match with Satomura.
Xia Zhao has a pinfall victory over Yuki Kamifuku so she next wants to take the Asian Double Crown from her. Yuki Kamifuku is willing to put both the Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title because gambling big in this situation works out for her no matter the result. She either rips off the bandage by losing both belts at the same time or looks cool for defending two championships at once.
Both Ryo Mizunami and Arisu Endo are coming off of title losses at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”. Where they go from here might depend on the result of this match.
The idea of putting Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi together as a team sounds unhinged. Yuna Manase can deal with it but HIMAWARI might find herself in trouble should she end up in a 2-on-1 situation.
It will be up to Shino Suzuki to guide Andreza Giant Panda safely down to the ring. Mizuki is going to have so much fun trying to Double Stomp him that Mahiro Kiryu will have to apologise on her behalf!

BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~”, 11/10/2024 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi
The unexpected next challenger for the Union MAX Title is Masahiro Takanashi! He held the title once before during 2019 and 2020. His final successful defence was even against the current champion Minoru Fujita. That result is something Fujita wants to avenge so he is ready to face Takanashi in a rematch over four years in the making.
BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~”, 24/09/2024 Shin-Kiba 1st RING ??? Fans
1. Kota Sekifuda defeated KUBITO with a Crossface Lock Reversal (11:46).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Banana Senga & Yuki Kanzaki when Oosugi pinned Senga with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:10).
3. Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken when Imanari pinned Kraken with the Lariat (15:06).
4. Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita when Ishijima pinned SAGAT with the Ghostbuster (13:48).
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Kamino pinned Sekine with the Lariat (15:33). *V1 for Aijin Tag.
The main event was held under No Tag Rules. Aijin Tag defeated Sento Minzoku to retain the UWA World Tag Team Titles. The win tasted sweet for Masato Kamino because he pinned Ryuichi Sekine for the victory. Takato Nakani also spoke highly of Sekine and Isami Kodaka joked about how everything today is about Sekine. Aijin Tag would like to continue defending the UWA Tag Titles against more wrestlers from different promotions. Nakano wants to wreck havoc across the indies but Kamino would rather go do it in New Japan.
Masahiro Takanashi suddenly made his entrance at the end of the show while the others were still in the ring. He introduced himself as the 13th Union MAX Champion and was here to settle something that happened in BASARA four years ago. Minoru Fujita knew what he was talking about. He challenged Takanashi for the MAX Title in February 2020 and lost to him. But it was from that point on when everything clicked for Fujita. Since then he has won several championships, was crowned as the MVP of the Japanese indies, fell so gravely ill that he almost died, made a miraculous recovery and came back to wrestling to win more championships. There is one achievement left for him and that is to avenge his loss against Takanashi! Fujita and Takanashi will fight for the MAX Title on 11th October.
The BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro match got heated. First Yumehito Imanari attacked Ryota Nakatsu before the bell. Nakatsu responded by chasing after him with his baseball bat. Nakatsu also got intense with Mizuki Watase whenever they were facing off. The finish was Imanari pinning Lil’ Kraken with a Lariat but after the end Kraken got back up and attacked Imanari until they were kept apart.
Kota Sekifuda was a last minute replacement for Takeru Inoue in the opening match. Inoue had a fever and was unable to wrestle.
BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL! ~THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT~”, 11/09/2024 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Unannounced

3. 4 Way Tag Match: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken and Gouma Ryu & Yasu Urano when Senga pinned Ryu with a School Boy (12:11).
4. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato (c) when Nakano pinned Sekifuda with the Takagari (13:39). *Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato fails in V5. Aijin Tag becomes the 37th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
5. Hardcore Match: Yusaku Ito defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with a Stacked Chair Shots (15:56).
6. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Naoki Tanizaki ended in a Double Knockout (13:40).
The former Sparky wrestlers fought each other to a double knockout. In the final moments of the match Naoki Tanizaki did the Implant for a nearfall and Ryota Nakatsu came back with a Thrust Kick followed by a Northern Lights Bomb. Both men were down and out by that point with neither being able to answer the 10 count. They were able to have the energy to talk afterwards. Nakatsu’s been wrestling for ten years now and his time in Sparky made up a lot of that time. Whether it was in BASARA or Dove Pro, Tanizaki has been a huge part of his wrestling career. Tanizaki said he always considered Nakatsu as a rival. He also promoted a Dove Pro show happening on 12th October that Nakatsu is also booked for. They will settle their match on another day but tonight they’re going to have a good drink together!
The show also celebrated Takumi Tsukamoto’s 15th anniversary in wrestling. He had a Hardcore Match against Yusaku Ito that featured steel cans and chairs as the main weapons. They kept doing moves to each other onto a pile of chairs but neither could win the match that way. So Ito decided to stack up on chairs and swing them at Tsukamoto for a powerful chairshot that finally put him down for the three count. Tsukamoto later said he lost to a thug and wants to have a rematch with that thug for his 20th anniversary. He also had kinder words to say about Ito, like calling him his little brother.
The UWA World Tag Team Titles have come to BASARA and now belong to Aijin Tag! A Frog Splash from Kota Sekifuda proved to be a big mistake when Takato Nakano blocked it with his knees. Nakano & Masato Kamino then upped the double team moves on him so Nakano could pin Sekifuda with the Takagari. The title change comes right before Kaji Tomato runs his own self produced show later this month. That has to sting at least a little bit. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine announced after the show they want to challenge Aijin Tag for the belts on 24th September.
