BASARA “BASARA 255 ~HIEN~” Results

BASARA “BASARA 255 ~HIEN~”, 13/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT defeated Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue when SAGAT pinned Inoue with the Goregrind (9:40).
2. Takato Nakano defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Takagari (7:37).
3. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Big Bang Catastrophe (14:59).
4. Kengo Mashimo & Fuminori Abe defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Abe submitted Sekine with a Back Knee Hold (13:36).
5. Kuma Arashi defeated Masato Kamino with the Diving Senton (11:58).

Today was the beginning of BASARA’s new brand split when it comes to running shows at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The “HIEN” shows promise to present Hard Mode style wrestling while BASARA’s usual presentation is being saved for “SOUEN” events. In the main event Masato Kamino lost to the visitor Kuma Arashi but the two were in good spirits with each other after the match. Takato Nakano joined up with Kamino to have a toast with fans to close out the show. The two of them promised to lead this new direction for BASARA and pull each other in many different directions.

Fuminori Abe outwrestled Ryuichi Sekine in a preview of the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match. Abe countered the Let’s Combine into a Cradle for a nearfall and then turned that into a Back Knee Hold to make Sekine submit. Sekine will always admit when he is beaten and that happened today. He promised he will fight harder to beat Astronauts in the title match. Abe thinks highly of Sekine because he is a wonderful and genuine person. But he is not going to let him take the titles away from him, no matter how explosive he will be.

In what could have been an ode to Keith Lee, the Big Bang Catastrophe was used by Daisuke Sekimoto to win his match against Ryota Nakatsu.

After Nakano won his match against Kota Sekifuda, he reminded the crowd that Sekifuda is one-half of the UWA World Tag Team Champions with Kaji Tomato. Since Nakano just defeated him, he wants Aijin Tag to get a title shot! Sekifuda said he only just lost the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title to Ikuto Hidaka and he will die before he loses this championship too. He and Tomato already have a title defence lined up somewhere else anyway so he declined Nakano’s challenge. Nakano warned him that Aijin Tag will be waiting to take the titles from them.

The opening match was changed around because Lil’ Kraken suffered a back injury yesterday. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue were meant to be opponents but were now on the same team. Inoue’s original partner Takumi Tsukamoto teamed up with SAGAT instead.

Kodaka was asked after the show if the Chouten ~Itadaki~ will happen this year and if the brand split will have any effect on it? He is considering having the tournament once BASARA has settled into the new format. He has an idea to split the field in half between “HIEN” and “SOUEN” wrestlers because he does not intend to have many of them work on both brands.

East Army: Shunma Katsumata (Chiba), HARASHIMA (Tokyo), Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo), MAO (Miyagi), Tetsuya Endo (Miyagi), Yuki Iino (Tokyo), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), KANON (Ishikawa), Toru Owashi (Nagano), Makoto Oishi (Shizuoka), Akito (Aichi), Yukio Naya (Tokyo), Keigo Nakamura (Iwate), Yuya Koroku (Chiba), Yoshiko Hasegawa (Saitama) and Riara (Miyagi)

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

It wasn’t possible for DDT to bring Shunma Katsumata and Kohei Kinoshita together to sign the contract for their DDT Extreme Title match so a remote press conference was held for them yesterday. Katsumata decided the rules for the match is they will score a point for every second they pin their opponent for. The first wrestler to reach 37 points in total will be the winner and champion. The reason why Katsumata chose 37 as the target number is because 37 means “sauna” and he heard Kinoshita also likes saunas.

Kinoshita said he wanted to wrestle in DDT for years but it was always difficult to get bookings because he lives in Kansai. He is excited to wrestle for a title and will use this match as a chance to expand his horizons. Katsumata had wanted to do a singles match with him ever since they fought each other in a 6-Man Tag at Yukinori Matsui’s produce show back in May. He is even happier the match gets to happen in Osaka. Even though the contract signing was done electronically, the two still found a way to almost start a brawl by arguing with each other over who is going to win.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST”, 24/08/2024
Tokyo Nakano Moonstep

1. Special Tag Team Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa Vs Thanomsak Toba & Sayaka
2. International 4 Way Dance: Shivam Vs Dr. Gore Vs Monomoth Vs Jake De Leon
3. Triple Threat Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano
4. Special Single Match: Maya Yukihi Vs Ram Kaichow

The first few matches for “FUCKED UP FEST” have been revealed. Maya Yukihi and Ram Kaichow are being paired off against each other. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Yasu Urano come to Baka Gaijin + Friends for the first time. An international 4 Way invites Shivam, Dr. Gore, Monomoth and Jake De Leon all to Japan. Also Chie Koishikawa, Thanomsak Toba and Sayaka all return to the Baka Gaijin mat.

The event is supposed to be an all day thing and so far Masahiro Takanashi is the only regular to have a match announced. A lot of the other regulars haven’t been mentioned yet so expect a lot more matches to be added soon.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao 15th Anniversary ~ Special Single Match: Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Seven years after his last match with the company Kota Ibushi is finally going to wrestle in DDT again! His return match is being purposely put together too because one of his opponents is Tetsuya Endo. When Ibushi left DDT, Endo was one of the wrestlers he entrusted the future of the promotion to. Ibushi wants to prove to everyone he is in much better form than his NOAH match at the start of the year. He had a five minute exhibition at GLEAT recently where he looked alright but still nowhere near the image of Ibushi that we all know and love. I’d say if he’s reduced to just being the hot tag for the match he won’t embarrass himself. Heck if he just wants to goof around Korakuen Hall and fight up in the balcony again for old time’s sake that won’t be bad either. Unless his teases of going over the barrier get taken too far…

BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~”, 27/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

The “SOUEN” events are supposedly going to be the same kind of shows BASARA were already doing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING before they increased the schedule. The first match announced definitely goes into the promotion’s history because Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu are reuniting as Cavalry to challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Cavalry was one of the first new teams established in BASARA during the brand’s debut year back in 2016. It lasted until 2018 when Nakatsu won the Union MAX Title and Sekine felt it was time for them to split up so he could challenge him for the belt. It’s only fitting that another championship is what gets them to reunite six years later.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 21, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka when Nakano pinned Isaka with the Kenkatabami (8:53).
2. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT, Gouma Ryu & Antonio Honda by Referee Stoppage when Kazato submitted Ryu with the Trigger Point (9:01).
3. Karate Master & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Karate Master pinned Judomaster with the Let’s Seikentsu Mid-level Thrust (8:05).
4. Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Modern Times (13:34).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) when Abe submitted Nakatsu with the Arm Hold Manjigatame (15:33).
*Harimao fails in V5. Astronauts becomes the 12th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

That’s all she wrote for Harimao’s run as the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. The titles now belong to Astronauts! It happened when Fuminori Abe trapped Ryota Nakatsu in the Manjigatame while Takuya Nomura cut off Kazusada Higuchi by putting him in a similar submission hold. Abe told Nomura after the match they will go on a fierce road of title defences that only they can do. Not only are they going to liven up BASARA but the rest of the wrestling world too! They are even thinking about defending the belts overseas.

In a manner similar to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s recent disappearances, Ryuichi Sekine wasn’t anywhere to be found for his match today (apparently he took a nap somewhere backstage and overslept). Luckily a replacement was found in a newcomer called Karate Master. Just like Judomaster his martial arts talents are cancelled out by his lack of pro wrestling knowledge. However he did know how to pin his opponent and did so after hitting Judomaster with a Karate style Diving Fist Drop. After the match Minoru Fujita and Takumi Tsukamoto continued to fight each other. Fujita blamed it on the karate gi he wore for the match. He claims it made him more fired up than usual so he will never wear it again.

Last month SAGAT and Gouma Ryu had a confrontation that included Ryu objecting to SAGAT making Superman references without permission to use the trademark. That must have all been solved this month because SAGAT wore his Superman inspired gear, Antonio Honda was straight up wearing a full Superman costume and Ryu revealed during the match he was also wearing a Superman costume beneath his suit. Unfortunately their superpowers werent’ strong enough and Daichi Kazato rendered Ryu unconscious by grabbing the trigger points in his shoulders.

BASARA “BASARA 248 ~TAKAGARI 24~” Results

May 11, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 248 ~TAKAGARI 24~”, 11/05/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chicharito Shoki & Daiju Wakamatsu defeated Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when Shoki pinned Kamino with a Side School Boy (12:47).
2. Minoru Fujita defeated SAGAT with a Rope Assisted Cradle (12:42).
3. Lil’ Kraken, Leo Isaka & Takahiro Katori defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Jet Bar when Kraken pinned KUBITO with the High Angle Jumping Knee Butt (16:12).
4. Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted Hiroshi with the Let’s Combine (14:00).
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Match: Daichi Kazato defeated Isami Kodaka with the Firebird Splash (17:46).

Could this be the breakthrough match for Daichi Kazato? He pulled out a Firebird Splash to beat Isami Kodaka and become No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He told fans he still has a long way to go but he wants to have more intense matches to make BASARA the most fun place in the world! Minoru Fujita told him the title match on 28th May will be a battle to break either Kazato’s heart or his own!

In a confusing turn of events, Judomaster has suddenly gone missing and cannot be found. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi just so happens to live near the venue so he was able to fill in on short notice. Ryota Nakatsu insulted him during the match by telling everyone that Judomaster’s techniques are better. Takumi Tsukamoto even yelled at Hiroshi to do better during the grappling exchanges. Hiroshi ended up tapping out to Ryuichi Sekine which only made Tsukamoto even madder. He then lost his temper and attacked Hiroshi after the match.

Fujita played a lot of mind games with SAGAT from calling him a cat so fans would chant “SAGA-nyan” to forcing him to wear his old mask. He also asked SAGAT to take it easy on him because tomorrow is Mother’s Day in Japan and he just wants to see his mom again. SAGAT agreed to wear the mask and even tried to hide his face when Fujita later pulled the mask off. The confusion worked and SAGAT was able to pin SAGAT with a School Boy while placing one of his foots on the rope for leverage.

After the show Kodaka told reporters that he wants BASARA to start holding two “~UTAGE~” events a month beginning in August. The roster has grown big enough that he had to start leaving regulars off of recent shows. On the other hand there has also been a freshness to recent events because of the young wrestlers from elsewhere working on the undercard. He does not want to cut down on either so his solution is to increase the schedule. That way whoever misses the first “~UTAGE~” event of the month can be booked for the second. The “~UTAGE~” brand will be split into Red shows and Blue shows but BASARA is not doing a brand split. Some wrestlers will be appearing on both and if anyone only ever gets booked for one particular side it will be a coincidence.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING” Results

April 14, 2024

BASARA “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring
??? fans – Unannounced

1. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Lil’ Kraken with a School Boy (9:34).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated FUMA & Daichi Kazato when Oosugi pinned Kazato after a Two Plato Avalanche Double Brainbuster (11:01).
3. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yasu Urano when Kamino pinned Hiroshi with the Lariat (7:50).
4. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:43).

Wrestling couple Ryuichi Sekine and Nodoka Tenma came up with an idea to hold a show while the sakura is in full bloom to attract people towards their village. The result was the creation of Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling. The first attempt at running an event was split into two parts. The first half of the day had BASARA producing matches for the show. Sekine himself wrestled in the main event portion, losing to Isami Kodaka in their first singles match against each other since 2019.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring
??? fans – Unannounced

1. Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Canadian Backbreaker (6:17).
2. Mizuki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Cutie Special (8:59).
3. Rika Tatsumi & Nao Kakuta defeated Arisu Endo & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Kiryu with the Missile Hip (12:01).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino defeated Aja Kong & Raku when Aino pinned Raku with the UBV (13:25).

The second half of matches were handled by Tokyo Joshi Pro. Being a TJPW graduate herself, Tenma got involved at ringside for a couple of the bouts both as a willing and unwilling participant. Aja Kong was also the big name guest for the last match of the day. She teamed with Raku but the two of them lost to Shoko Nakajima and Tenma’s younger sister Yuki Aino.

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~” Results

March 9, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Goregrind (8:27).
2. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga when KUBITO submitted Ryu with a Crossface Lock (7:24).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (12:42).
4. Masato Kamino & Chicharito Shoki defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Kamino pinned Judomaster with the Lariat (14:54).
5. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (18:52).

2024 could be the year Sento Minzoku is back on top of the BASARA mountain. Minoru Fujita is currently the Union MAX Champion and the result of today’s main event could lead to the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles coming back to him too. Isami Kodaka pinned Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and told Fujita he wants the two of them to challenge Harimao for the titles. Nakatsu complained that Fujita shouldn’t have to be Kodaka’s partner and Ryuichi Sekine should do it instead. However he eventually agreed to put the belts on the line against Fujita & Kodaka. Kazusada Higuchi’s next BASARA appearance is on 19th March but Fujita is already defending the Union MAX Title on 19th March on that show. He refuses to wrestle twice, especially if it is in two championship matches back to back. They all think Higuchi will be available to wrestle in BASARA again on 20th April so they will do the title match there unless they got Higuchi’s schedule wrong.

Sekine announced he will be back to wrestling on a regular schedule with BASARA starting from next month. He made it a goal to work his way into becoming a champion again.

Yesterday BASARA reported that Takato Nakano had a fever but tested negative for covid. They decided to pull him from the show as a precaution and brought in Chicharito Shoki to replace him. If that wasn’t enough, it was announced that the love sickness Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is suffering from has gotten worse so he couldn’t wrestle today either. The masked Judomaster was suspiciously in the venue again to take his place for the second show in a row. He seemed to have a better understanding of pro wrestling this time but still lost to Masato Kamino.

Today is the first time Gouma Ryu wrestled in Takashimadaira Kumin Center for a BASARA show. He thought he was taking part in another Pro Wrestling Trial but Banana Senga forgot to bring his outfit. They held a court session arguing whether or not injuring your opponent in a pro wrestling match should be a crime. They told KUBITO and Yasu Urano to wrestle each other in order to provide evidence. None of their actions injured either of them so the referee/judge declared them Not Guilty. Ryu did not accept the result and convinced Senga to fight the other two. KUBITO & Urano quickly beat them.

D.O.A Vs Another D.O.A, Takechi Is A Draw, Gaisenzakura Pro Wrestling

January 9, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 ~MIZUKI’S HOMETOWN IS KOBE!~”, 13/01/2024
Kobe Art Center

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Raku Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Kaya Toribami & Toga
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI
5. Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
6. Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Nao Kakuta Vs Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku

An emergency decision was made by Tokyo Joshi Pro to book Ryo Mizunami for this Saturday’s show. There should be more appearances to come for her while she holds the Princess Tag Team Titles with Yuki Aino.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 ~YUKI’S HOMETOWN IS OKAYAMA!~”, 14/01/2024
Okayama Convention Center Event Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Kaya Toribami Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Nao Kakuta Vs Toga
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mizuki & HIMAWARI
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Wakana Uehara
6. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino

Sadly Mizunami will not be at the show in Aino’s hometown the next day.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024”, 28/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MAO Birthday Commemorative Match: MAO & TAKA Michinoku Vs X & X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Naruki Doi
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – DEAD OR ALIVE Contra DEAD OR ALIVE: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Hikaru Sato, Kazusada Higuchi & Ryo Kawamura
4. DDT Extreme Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Naya

I’m starting to think D.O.A coming up with that name for themselves was a bad idea. The phrase “Dead Or Alive” is so common that there are plenty of wrestlers out there who claim they used it first. After the unit dealt with Bodyguard’s complaints they then found out Hikaru Sato is upset with them because he thinks they stole his catchphrase. Sato sent Kazusada Higuchi to tell them they should defend both the name and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against them. Sato & Higuchi will be joined by Ryo Kawamura. The previous times Kawamura has appeared in DDT he’s been using different Sylvester Stallone gimmicks (Rocky Kawamura, Rambo Kawamura, Rocky Kawamura II, etc). He might be coming back just as himself this time.

The birthday match for MAO is a special one because he gets to team with TAKA Michinoku for the first time ever! Michinoku has been a big influence for him over the years and has inspired a lot of his moveset.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuna Manase Return Match: Yuna Manase Vs X
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Takuya Wada

The new king of Ganbare☆Pro has decided to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against his own tag team partner. Over the weekend Shuichiro Katsumura defended both of his championships, including the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles he holds with Takuya Wada. With nobody stepping up to challenge him for either title Katsumura suggested he and Wada fight each other while they wait for new opponents to emerge. The title match will happen in Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024”, 25/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match: Kaisei Takechi Vs X

Currently all tickets for this show has sold out so DDT will be adding additional seating to go on sale later this week. That’s how much of a hot ticket Kaisei Takechi’s debut match is. Takechi has a black belt in Judo and has been coached by Yuki Ueno in training. For that reason Takechi would like to team with Ueno for his first match. The 25 year old also wants to face opponents who are in the same age range as him because competition within the young generation is going to liven up the wrestling world. He cannot commit to a full match schedule due to his work with THE RAMPAGE but he would like to wrestle more after his debut. He currently weighs 77kg but feels his body as it is now is only built for dancing. So he is bulking up and aims to weigh in at 85kg for the match. Takechi is also trying to figure out what wrestling move he wants to use as his signature. When he dances he often raises his right fist into the air and shouts “THE RAMPAGE” so he wants to come up with something that will follow that.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The main event for Sumo Hall is a rematch from the Tokyo Princess Cup 2022 Semi Final. Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita in what has been their last singles match together until now. Next time will be in the main event of Sumo Hall for the Princess Of Princess Title!

BASARA/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring

A free outdoor pro wrestling show is being put together by Ryuichi Sekine and Nodoka Tenma in a little village found on the northwest side of Okayama. The couple run a farm together in Shinjo Village and want people to get to know the area better. So they have come up with Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling an event built around agriculture, food and wrestling. The wrestling portion of the event will be split into two parts. One part will be a men’s wrestling show featuring talent from BASARA. The other part with be a women’s show with TJPW involved. If the event is a success then the plan will be to make it an annual tradition held every April when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

BASARA “BASARA 239 ~UTAGE~” Results

January 7, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 239 ~UTAGE~”, 07/01/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated KUBITO & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned KUBITO with the Mushagaeshi (11:36).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Oosugi pinned Sekine after the Pictures At An Exhibition ~Dwarf~ with Senga (10:16).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi by Knockout with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:14).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Daichi Kazato, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura when Kraken pinned Kazato with a Jumping Knee Butt (10:27).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA (c) with the Modified Samson Clutch (20:57).
*FUMA fails in V3. Minoru Fujita becomes the 21st Union MAX Champion!

The new year for BASARA begins with Minoru Fujita as the brand new Union MAX Champion! The man with nothing left in his life but pro wrestling defeated FUMA and promised to lead BASARA into 2024. Takato Nakano came out and congratulated Fujita but told him he thinks BASARA cannot progress until they have a more youthful energy to liven things up. Fujita accepted his challenge for the MAX Title. He’s been wrestling for 20 years and will continue to wrestle for 30 or even 40 more! Fujita thinks 2023 was a tough year for both BASARA and Sento Minzoku so 2024 is going to be the year of their counterattack.

It was previously announced in December but Ryuichi Sekine is trying to crowdfund his own wrestling show in Okayama on 14th April. It is a project that his wife Nodoka Tenma is also involved with so the show may end up featuring wrestlers from both BASARA and Tokyo Joshi Pro.

*V1 for Sento Minzoku.
6. Union MAX Title: FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (16:21).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V1. FUMA becomes the 20th Union MAX Champion!

For the first time in three years BASARA held their all you can drink “~UTAGE~” show again in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. In the main event FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto to become a three time Union MAX Champion! By beating Tsukamoto today and also Ryota Nakatsu recently, FUMA now thinks he has gotten revenge for all of his biggest failings in the last few years in his bid to become champion again. There are more wrestlers out there he wants to get revenge on. The first one on his mind is a certain wrestler from Osaka who he has never beaten. His name is Eisa8 and FUMA fought him often under a mask in Okinawa Pro. He is going to see what his own schedule is like next month before he challenges Eisa8 to a title match. BASARA will be in Osaka on 23rd September and FUMA also wants the promotion to run a show in Gunma on 14th October.

Gouma Ryu bribed the referee with money to give him the advantage against Nakatsu in the Jacket Match. It caused the ref to count slowly after Nakatsu knocked out Ryu. The ref was given more money by Ryu on the canvas to stop the 10 count entirely. The ref also fast counted Nakatsu and ignored Ryu using his law book as a weapon. When Nakatsu took the book from him and threatened to hit him back, the ref was bribed into disqualifying Nakatsu entirely.

A big upset in early in the show saw Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka win as a tag team for the first time against Sento Minzoku. Isaka ended up dodging Isami Kodaka’s finisher and used an Inside Cradle to pin him for the three count. With this result Kraken suggested they challenge Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita for the IRON FIST Tag Titles on 18th September. Fujita later accepted the challenge. He & Shimomura just beat Speed Of Sounds today so what chance do Kraken & Isaka have?

Daichi Kazato announced that Asian Kung Fu Revolution will be producing the 17th September show.

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match gets a warm up bout when one third of the current champions Hideki Okatani faces Yuko Miyamoto.

A tag match built around the different martial arts of each competitor is being put together. Shinya Aoki represents Judo, Yuki Ishida represents (Sumo), Thanomsak Toba represents Kickboxing and Rukiya represents Grappiling.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Death Match returns to the Beer Garden! When music plays you must dance no matter what! Don’t know why they have faith in Antonio Honda showing up though. He often misses these things and need to be replaced by someone else. What’s A.YAZAWA up to?

Daydream are the only previous champion team involved in the tournament so the final will feature at least one pairing who were never champions together before. However if Kyoraku Kyomei and Daydream both win then that means the final consists of all former tag champions.
