It was an all Cavalry main event in Day 2 of the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Ryuichi Sekine and Ryota Nakatsu had a little friendly argument at the beginning of the show but when the time came it was all serious between them. Nakatsu avoided Sekine’s High Kicks and locked in a Cross Armbreaker to make his stablemate tap out. Nakatsu said fighting Sekine was a painful but interesting experience.

Miyagi wrestler Masamune was the local attraction for this show teaming with Isami Kodaka. Also making his BASARA debut was Masashi Takeda, a former tag partner of Kodaka. After the Masamune said he wasn’t done wrestling in BASARA. Kodaka shook his hand and told the fans to stay tuned for more tag team bouts and even a singles match with Masamune.

There was no messing around for Hiroshi Fukuda when he fought Abdullah Kobayashi in a Hardcore match. He brought out a Singapore cane while Kobayashi carried a paper bag to the ring and took out an Iron Claw. SAGAT helped out Fukuda when he grabbed Kobayashi by the ropes but the plan backfired when Kobayashi ducked a Superman Punch, causing SAGAT to take the hit. Fukuda tried to win with the Perfect Plex onto a chair but it didn’t work. Kobayashi instead gave both Fukuda and SAGAT the Bakachinga Elbow Drop to win. Fukuda laid the blame on SAGAT for the defeat. Kobayashi agreed with him.

In the remaining Heaven Summit matches Daichi Kazato and FUMA both earned points. Kazato is now in the lead of Block B after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. Kazato is now focused on beating FUMA on 13th May. Ever since Union closed he sees their relationship as two brothers fighting with each other. FUMA was happy with his win over Ryu Gouma even though it was by countout. His goal for the league is not just to win but to take over BASARA by force. Gouma’s strategy to win points by countout has not changed even though it isn’t working for him so far.

The Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament began with four matches, two from each group. In the main event Takumi Tsukamoto fought with Hiroshi Fukuda for almost 20 minutes until a Tiger Suplex won him the match. Fukuda was no joke here and Tsukamoto collapsed in exhaustion afterwards. He praised Fukuda for bring strong and wondered how similar the Perfect Plex is to his own Fisherman Suplex.

Isami Kodaka’s injured left eye was targeted by Yusuke Kubo throughout their match. Kodaka countered the Goro Suplex into a European Clutch for the victory and credited Dick Togo for teaching him how to win matches that way.

Ryuichi Sekine countered SAGAT’s Goregrind with a High Kick and the Ryusetsu to win his first match of the tournament. Sekine said he will ride on a horse to victory and become the new ace of BASARA. SAGAT grunted a lot in his post-match interview but did say enough to warn his remaining opponents he will become more violent.

After the opening exchange between Daichi Kazato and Ryu Gouma had finished Gouma shouted “Ladies and gentlemen this is wrestling!” He then left the ring and requested Kazato to fight him outside. Gouma’s plan for the tournament is to win or tie all of his matches by countout. Kazato didn’t fall for the plan but later in the match Gouma was able to drag him out of the ring. However the plan backfired and Kazato made it back to the ring and left Gouma outside to get counted out.

1. Hi69 & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Koji Iwamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when Hi69 pinned Nakatsu with the Stuka Splash (16:04).
2. Hercules Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Oosugi pinned Kubo with the Tsukinoishi (7:00).
3. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ Exhibition Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Ryu Gouma ended in a Double Countout (6:48).
4. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ Exhibition Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated SAGAT with the Perfect Plex (9:46)
5. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ Exhibition Match: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato with the Ryusetsu (12:28).

Three preview matches for the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament took place on this show. Each match had a Group A wrestler against a Group B wrestler. It is possible that one of these matches can end up happening again in the final match.

In the main event Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato in a back and forth contest. Sekine got the fall when he hit the Kamikaze followed bu the Ryusetsu kick. Sekine said after the match that he cannot afford to lose even to his Cavalry partner Ryota Nakatsu. His goal is to be the ace of BASARA! Kazato defended his loss by claiming it’s all part of his secret plan. This match was just a test.

Buddies Hiroshi Fukuda and SAGAT had to face each other one on one. According to Fukuda, SAGAT said he wanted to have a sporting contest between the two because he respects Fukuda so much. Turns out it was a mistranslation because SAGAT did not hold back from aggressively attacking his friend. Fukuda fought back with some dirty tactics including a Low Blow after the referee was knocked down. Fukuda wore down SAGAT with a Dragon Sleeper and was able to pin him with the Perfect Plex. The two made up afterwards.

Under normal circumstances Isami Kodaka Vs Ryu Gouma is a mismatch. However Kodaka went into the match with his head heavily bandaged to cover a left eye injury. That evened the odds a little bit. Kodaka was still getting the better of Gouma, so much so that Gouma eventually wanted to quit and left the ring with Kodaka chasing after him. Gouma offered a handshake with the intention to low blow Kodaka but it was blocked. Kodaka tried to Suplex Gouma onto the floor but that was also blocked. With the referee counting close to 20 Kodaka tried to return to the ring but Gouma attacked him with his Statue Book until they were both counted out. Backstage Kodaka was unhappy with the result. A draw is the same as a loss to him. He reckons his eye injury will be healed before the tournament starts so he’s not letting that worry him. Gouma thinks if he can get a draw with the ace of BASARA then he can get a draw with anybody! His goal now seems to be to end all of his group matches in a draw!

1. Hi69 defeated SAGAT with a Foot And Neck Cradle (5:26).
2. Kikutaro defeated Ryu Gouma with a Russian Leg Sweep (8:56).
3. Kazuhiro Tamura & Daichi Kazato defeated Koji Iwamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when Kazato pinned Nakatsu with the Sister Abigail (11:31).
4. Hardcore Match: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Madoka with the Dragon Kick (11:35).
5. UWA Middleweight Title: MEN’S Teioh (c) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a European Clutch (13:45).
*V1 for MEN’S Teioh.
6. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Kodaka pinned Kubo with the Zeyyari (21:31).

BASARA’s first two Hardcore matches were held on this show. Isami Kodaka thought it was just the thing to put Kotetsu Gundan in their place. It wasn’t as violent as a Death Match but there were chairs, a ladder and a giant hammer involved. Kodaka scored the win but wasn’t finished with FUMA. He called him into the ring for an urgent “business meeting”. He told FUMA that his heavy metal obsession is unusual and quite frankly a middle finger to everyone else. FUMA said his costume is cool because it is made out of steel and metal! Kodaka challenged FUMA to a Steel Cage Match at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in a few days time. FUMA said they could make it a 6-Man Tag Cage match. Kodaka accepted and said they should be able to squeeze six men into the cage.

MEN’S Teioh was brought over to BASARA to hold the first defence of his UWA Middleweight Title reign against Hiroshi Fukuda. The former members of World Men’s Club duked it out with Fukuda playing some dirty tricks along the way. He lured Teioh out of the ring to chase him in circles until he stopped him with a Shoulder Block. Teioh got revenge by throwing Fukuda shoulder first into the corner post. Teioh worked on the shoulder until Fukuda grabbed the referee and pulled him into the way. Fukuda hit the Perfect Plex but the referee slowly counted the pin in protest. Fukuda let go of the hold to complain but was rolled over into a European Clutch to lose the match. Fukuda took the loss in his stride and asked Teioh if they could have another fun match sometime. Teioh heard about BASARA lifting its ban on Hardcore match. He himself isn’t interested but he might know someone who could participate in a Hardcore Match again… Terry Boy! Fukuda Vs Terry Boy in a Hardcore Match was set for 14th April.

The other Hardcore Match was between Ryuichi Sekine and Madoka. Sekine brought out a guitar so Madoka found a ukelele in response. A pile of chairs was used by both as the landing zone for some big moves. Sekine smashed his guitar over Madoka and hit a chair-assisted Dragon Kick to win the match.

Sekine defeated Tsutomu Oosugi in the main event and with Nakatsu challenged SOS to another tag team match once Hercules Senga recovers from injury.

Cavalry invited Koji Iwamoto to pose with them at the end of the show. He is accepted as the team’s newest member. Sekine said if Isami Kodaka is the king of BASARA then Cavalry are The Three Musketeers!

Nakatsu was originally supposed to face Hercules Senga in the semi-main event but Senga is out of action with a jaw injury. Takumi Tsukamoto took his place. Nakatsu stayed focus and refused to shake Tsukamoto’s hand before and after the match.

1. Atsushi Maruyama & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato & Hi69 when Oosugi pinned Kazato with the Tsuki No Ishii (11:24).
2. Kikutaro defeated Ryu Gouma with a DDT (9:13).

6. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Isamuashi Zan (17:05).

It took a while for Isami Kodaka to say anything after his match with Ryuichi Sekine. Finally he said “Tough.” Sekine could only muster up enough energy to say thanks. Kodaka said BASARA is still small but it is quickly growing with a show in Osaka already under its belt. They will light a fire in Japan and they will do a rematch in Japan!

FUMA continues to preach about heavy metal. Why did his team win? Because they came out to “Painkiller” by Judas Priest. Why did he pin Yusuke Kubo? Because he has heavy metal in his soul and it makes him the best in head banging. He offered to help Kubo find his heavy metal self and join his heavy metal band like Madoka and HAYATA have. Kubo said that despite losing every match in BASARA so far he has been reborn. But he admits something is missing, his losses prove that. He has a match with Shiori Asahi coming up in March. Asahi is the current Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion so Kubo will challenge him for the belt! FUMA will keep an eye on that match,

Hiroshi Fukuda has learned how to sooth SAGAT’s violent behaviour enough for them to work as a team. He tried to translate his grunts for the audience. Apparently SAGAT thanked the fans for coming to the show but that’s all Fukuda could translate.

Ryu Gouma tried to get Kikutaro disqualified for using foul and abusive language. Kikutaro DDT’d him onto his statute book.

The Japanese wrestling scene is kind of falling apart at the moment but hey, at least Pro Wrestling BASARA signed a new wrestler. Ryuichi Sekine is jumping from K-DOJO to BASARA citing an opportunity to try new things in new places. TAKA Michinoku and Isami Kodaka confirmed the transfer at a press conference held today in Shinjuku and the change will be official on 21st January, the date of BASARA’s debut show. Sekine will honour his existing bookings with K-DOJO including a match against Tatsumi Fujinami set to take place in March. TAKA noted Sekine’s recent growth by wrestling in Big Japan and DDT’s spin off Tavern Wrestling. He also compared it to when he himself left Michinoku Pro. He is confident of Sekine’s new home promotion because Kodaka is also a K-DOJO graduate.
