BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~” Results

March 28, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~”, 28/03/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Leo Isaka defeated Lil’ Kraken with an Inverted Hurricanrana (8:49).
2. Basara Strange Style Jacket Match: Gouma Ryu defeated Ryota Nakatsu by Disqualification (R3 1:08).
3. FUMA & KUBITO defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when FUMA submitted Sekine with the Cross Armbreaker (11:09).
4. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakano pinned Kazato after a Two Story Diving Body Press (8:59).
5. CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: SAGAT defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with an Argentine Backbreaker (12:42).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V5. SAGAT becomes the 14th CCW Canadian Heavyweight Champion!
6. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the Koryu (15:38).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V6. Banana Senga becomes the 18th Union MAX Champion!

The Japanese indies are being taken over by Speed Of Sounds. Last month Tsutomu Oosugi won his first singles title by becoming the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Champion. It inspired his tag team partner Banana Senga to challenge Isami Kodaka for the Union MAX Title. Today in an upset Senga pinned Kodaka to win that championship! Kodaka asked for a rematch only to be told by Takumi Tsukamoto that the loser of the match shouldn’t be doing that. SAGAT then came out and reminded Tsukamoto he beat him earlier in the show so Tsukamoto can’t ask for a title shot either. Senga decided that Kodaka and Tsukamoto should fight each other for the No. 1 Contendership but in the meantime he needs another challenger. SAGAT stepped forward and said they can have a title match together on 18th April.

Please inform the nation of Canada that SAGAT is now their champion. He won the obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title from Tsukamoto and now has a chance to become a Double Crown champion in BASARA. Tsukamoto has the contact details for CCW and according to him they are relatively easy to get in touch with. SAGAT will need their permission to authorize title defences but the good news is they are usually quick to respond to those requests.

Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka challenged Aijin Tag to a IRON FIST Tag Titles match on 18th April. Kraken told them he’s always wanted to join a unit in BASARA but he has no chance of fitting in with any of the current ones. So he decided to team with Isaka instead because they are both from Tochigi.

15. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yukio Naya

A press conference was held in Shinjuku today for some of the matches on the show. Yuki Ueno said he feels honored that an international superstar has come to Japan wanting to fight him. Samuray Del Sol said the one place he has not conquered is Japan. He first learned of DDT by seeing footage of El Generico wrestling Kota Ibushi there. He’s been watching and studying Ueno’s matches so is excited to be wrestling the best.

Konosuke Takeshita reminded everyone that he’s been with DDT for over ten years and the only person he hasn’t wrestled one on one is his boss Sanshiro Takagi. They have no choice but to finally do this match now. He has gratitude for Takagi and sees this as a match between a parent and their child. Takagi’s been a great father figure but the time has come to surpass him. Takagi said he wants to be in the best shape he can for the match. Some injuries have gotten in his way but he isn’t letting that be any excuse. He won’t let Takeshita move past him so easily and will do his best to crush him! Takeshita also said his experience in AEW has given him a hunger he couldn’t get in Japan because spots on their shows are so limited.

The “Super Powerhouse Tag Team” made themselves known while Super Sasadango Machine & Antonio Honda were being interviewed. The two men thought they were going to get Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima until they worked out that TenKoji’s schedule wouldn’t make it possible. Instead they are getting The Wasteland War Party! Both Sasadango & Honda were terrified by the appearance of Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer. The War Party left them laying on the floor with Headbutts. When Honda regained consciousness he began to cry. He thought he was getting a dream match but instead it’s going to be a nightmare!

Away from the press conference in a separate interview, Saki Akai talked about her upcoming match against Masahiro Takanashi. They had one previous singles match together in the 1st Round of the King Of DDT 2018. Takanashi won that match but for the rematch Akai warns there is a part of her that he does not know about. If she can tap into it tomorrow she can find a way to beat him. Then when that match is done Akai wants to focus on Eruption winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in order to push Hideki Okatani up to the next level. She has other plans to celebrate her 10 year anniversary later in the year. Yukio Sakaguchi taught her how to fight in the ring so she would like to face him in a match. She hopes Yoshiko will come back from her break some day for another match. Danshoku Dieno is another past opponent she wants to do a big match with again. She also suggested Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita and Sumire Natsu as potential future opponents for her in a DDT ring.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 22/03/2023

We have come out of “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” with brand new champions holding all of the titles in Tokyo Joshi Pro. We also have some wrestlers refreshing their looks while the new generation of debuts have landed and taken their first steps. Where we go from here is towards Los Angeles.

It wouldn’t be right if The Wasteland War Party went home without getting a chance to say goodbye to Pom Harajuku. I’m sure she appreciates it.

Shino Suzuki is having her first ever singles match. Suzume is her opponent.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR IN SHINJUKU 2023”, 24/03/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi

It’s rare to see promotion for an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title singles match in advance. Akito Vs Yusuke Okada will go ahead even if Akito loses the belt before it happens.

The lineup for the King Of DDT 2023 will be revealed during this show.

BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~”, 28/03/2023

5. CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs SAGAT
6. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Banana Senga

The super obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title held by Takumi Tsukamoto is being defended again in BASARA. Tsukamoto brought the belt into the company at the end of 2021. He’s defended it twice here but usually saves his title matches for other indies. SAGAT is his next challenger.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LOS ANGELES”, 31/03/2023
Globe Theatre, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Janai Kai
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
3. Hyper Misao & Trish Adora Vs Yuki Aino & Raku
4. Shoko Nakajima & Miu Watanabe Vs Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer
5. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Billie Starkz
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki

Some of the new champions making their first defences on the USA show. 121000000 Vs The Magical Sugar Rabbits in the main event now has the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line. Yuka Sakazaki wants to show everyone how much MagiRabi has powered up from fighting each other. Mizuki has the least experience wrestling overseas of the four but now she is the Princess Of Princess Champion she is not scared of any challenge. She’s also excited by the possibility of becoming the only person in TJPW to hold two Princess Titles at the same time. Miyu Yamashita believes the timing is right for 121000000 to beat MagiRabi on TJPW’s first USA show. Maki Itoh wants her American simps to know they are getting to see her TJPW form instead of the usual version they see from her previous appearances in the country.

Billie Starkz claims she was going to challenge the International Princess Champion no matter who it was coming out “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. That it happens to be her already scheduled opponent Rika Tatsumi made it a lot easier for her to get the title shot. With the match happening in America, Starkz will get to fight for the championship in front of her friends and family. The new champion Tatsumi has already begun changing her look to be more America-like (or “AmeRika”) in order to truly act like an international champion. She went to this press conference wearing sunglasses and drinking a cola. She isn’t worried about fighting Starkz in her home country because it is still happening on a TJPW show. That means Tatsumi still has the home field advantage.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION IN NIIGATA”, 16/04/2023
Niigata Bandaijima Multi-Purpose Plaza

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki, Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs Joey Janela, Sanshiro Takagi & Takeshi Masada

According to Atsushi Onita he paid 400,000 yen to trademark the Current Blast Death Match. Rather than trying to buy it off him, Sanshiro Takagi would rather take it by force. He still wants DDT to take ownership of the trademark and is joining forces with Joey Janela to do it. Janela has made it his number one goal during his latest tour of Japan to destroy his hero Onita in an exploding death match. Takagi also picked Takeshi Masada to be their tag partner, thinking this kind of dangerous atmosphere is just what the super rookie has been missing. Onita has his DDO allies Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima backing him up. If their winning ways continue then Onita has promised to create a new Current Blast 6-Man Tag Team Championhip as something new for them to fight for!

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FOUR: WHEN GOOD DOGS DO BAD THINGS”, 18/04/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Masashi Takeda Vs Death Worm
2. Special Tag Team Match: Sayaka & Baliyan Akki Vs MAO & Chie Koishikawa
3. Special Tag Team Match: Rina Yamashita & Drew Parker Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

Rina Yamashita and Masashi Takeda are the next guests to join in the Baka Gaijin party. Also Baliyan Akki & Sayaka will together wrestle their first match on one of these shows. It’s about time Akki wrestled on one of them. Maybe Chris Brookes & Drew Parker will do the camera work and commentary for his match.

To celebrate his 10th anniversary in wrestling, SAGAT takes on Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan. They’ve only been in the same match together once for an Elimination Tag held on a BJW show last July. SAGAT enjoyed the experience of fighting Kamitani so much he’s been wanting a singles match against him ever since. BASARA was able to put it together for his special occasion.

7. DDT Extreme Title – Monoboke Death Match: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Antonio Honda

The goal of the Monoboke Death Match is for Antonio Honda to make Jun Akiyama laugh. Every time Honda kicks out of a pin or uses a rope break to escape a submission, he gets to make a joke. If he can get Akiyama to laugh three times he will win the match. Akiyama on the other hand needs to beat Honda by pinfall or submission three times in order to successfully defend the DDT Extreme Title.

If Daisuke Sasaki ends his self-imposed exile and shows up he will be booked for a match. The undercard will be changed around as a result.

MAO & Shunma Katsumata will not be at the show because they will be wrestling in California for Prestige that same day.

He committed to challenge Doi anyway because he now thinks winning the title from him will cheer Sasaki up and bring him out of hiding.

Kotaro Suzuki, Kip Sabian, Penelope Ford and Shinya Ishida will all be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 207 ~TAKAGARI 14~” Results

December 17, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 207 ~TAKAGARI 14~”, 17/12/2022

6. Decide Who Will Be Fuminori Abe II! All BASARA Participation Overkill Battle Royal!: Fuminori Abe defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto, FUMA, KUBITO, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Ryota Nakatsu, Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken (0:02).
*Fuminori Abe wins the right to become Fuminori Abe II.
6a. Rematch: Fuminori Abe defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto, FUMA, KUBITO, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Ryota Nakatsu, Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken (0:11).
*Fuminori Abe wins the right to become Fuminori Abe II.
6b. Re-rematch: Fuminori Abe defeated Isami Kodaka with the Manjigatame (6:15).
*Fuminori Abe wins the right to become Fuminori Abe II.

The final BASARA show of 2022 was produced by Fuminori Abe because it was his last show under contract with the company before he goes freelance next year. The main event was a Battle Royal to grant the winner naming rights for Fuminori Abe II. The match had to be restarted several times because everybody kept immediately knocking each other out of the ring, leaving Abe on his own as the supposed winner. Even when the Battle Royal had a proper finish it was still Abe who won it. So he now gets to be his own successor.

Another one of his ideas was a match that pitted Christmas-gun against Buddhist-gun in a religious battle. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT & Yasu Urano represented the spirit of Christmas while Abe led Takumi Tsukamoto & Banana Senga into a fight with peaceful intentions. At one point Hiroshi sang Christmas songs to psychologically damage Abe. IT stopped when Abe figured out chanting Buddhist prayers had the same effect on Hiroshi. The two eventually knocked each other out ending the match in a draw. Not that the result matters. BASARA made sure to tell everyone afterwards the match was fictional, just in case anyone found it sacrilegious.

The second show was built around a challenge series between the Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces led by Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & FUMA against the Ninja USA Forces led by Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT. 2 points were given for a win and 1 was given for a draw. The series ended in a 5-5 tie after the main event so maybe another challenge will be held again sometime in the future.

The final match had a scroll hanging above the ring and the winning team was whoever could pull it down first. It was not a Ladder match however and there were none to be seen. Everyone piled together for Hiroshi and Nakatsu to climb onto and the two fought beneath the scroll. Hiroshi was knocked off the pile and Nakatsu was able to grab the scroll before falling after him to win the match.

Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken missed the memo on the jacket match and came down to the ring wearing swimming costumes instead of martial arts gear.

BASARA “BASARA 189 ~GLITTER~” Results

April 28, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 189 ~GLITTER~”, 28/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

5. Union MAX Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the V Slider (18:51).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.

It’s now five Union Max Title defences for Ryota Nakatsu, tying the amount from his first reign. He is proud of how passionate Daiki Shimomura fought but told him he should not be satisfied over it. Nakatsu is old and Shimomura are young but they both have a lot of energy so they will continue doing their best for BASARA! No new challenger came out but instead the president of GRACE GROUP asked him for three favours. First, he wants to host a Grace Project show on 5th June built around BASARA taking on a group of wrestlers representing the Grace Family. Nakatsu agreed to it.

The president brought out Kamui and Kenya Maeda. They said the entire Grace Family has already been chosen. They are Kamui, Katsumi Oribe, Kota Umeda, Tomoya Hirata, Daisuke Masaoka and Takashi Sasaki! Nakatsu accepted the challenge and talked with the president over who should be on BASARA’s team. They decided on Nakatsu, Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Isami Kodaka and maybe they will offer the last spot to SAGAT. Maeda then introduced himself as Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s number one disciple and kept repeating himself when Kodaka acted like he wasn’t paying attention. They agreed to a singles match against each other at a Grace Project show taking place in two days time. That was the president’s second request. The third and final request was allowing them to sell tickets to the show at the concession area after the show.

Before the 6-Man Tag Match began, Gouma warned the Asian Kung Fu Revolution that someone on their team was going to betray them. Daichi Kazato immediately said it wasn’t him over and over. However Gouma kept getting in the way of his own teammates until he got into a fight with Takumi Tsukamoto, causing a full scale brawl to start and the match to end in a Double DQ. FUMA then revealed Gouma was the traitor all along and he is the newest member of Asian Kung Fu Revolution! The match restarted and this time Gouma kept messing up and hitting his new teammates. They turned on him causing the other team to come to his aid. However this was another trick and Gouma hugged Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi as another sign of betrayal. Gouma then gave Tsukamoto the Jumping Neckbreaker Drop and Hiroshi pinned him with the Tani Otoshi. The two teams continued brawling after the match and all fought their way backstage.
