BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~” Results

December 14, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Lil Kraken with the Goregrind (8:28).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Gouma when Hiroshi submitted Gouma with the Kesagatame (11:11).
3. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kubo pinned Kamino with the Death Metal Roll (14:00).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the O-Cannon Bomb (16:19).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Banana Senga with the V Slider (16:47).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Ryota Nakatsu jokingly made sure he didn’t break Banana Senga’s jaw this time and kept asking him if his chin was ok after the main event. Senga was angry over losing to Nakatsu and had to be held back by Tsutomu Oosugi. He was told he was getting hot headed before their next match where this time the IRON FIST Tag Titles will be on the line. After Speed Of Sounds left, Nakatsu said he & SAGAT will win the belts on 26th December and he will become a double crown champion! Sparky and SOS later had another confrontation backstage after the show.

Earlier this year Takumi Tsukamoto was a triple crown champion holding the Union MAX Title, the BJW Death Match Title and the obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title. He eventually lost the first two but still has the CCW Title in his possession. Little is known about the origins of the title but Tsukamoto was told it was brought to Japan by Bad News Allen around 20 years ago and other former champions include Shigeo Okumura and Kazuhiko Matsuzaki. It was revived five years ago and Tsukamoto was even part of the tournament to crown the new champion. Daichi Kazato told him he never defends the title so he dared him to put it on the line against him. It took some convincing but in the end Tsukamoto agreed to a title match on 26th December.

This was Minoru Fujita’s first match in BASARA since August. Masahiro Takanashi paused the match to congratulate him on his return from illness. He then hit him with the Rocket Punch.

During Match #2 Kazato and Oosugi got into an endless cycle of Tombstone reversals along the entrance ramp that took them away from ringside and out of their match. They returned to the ring still doing the reversals after Match #4. Oosugi won out by hitting the Tombstone on Kazato and left. Kazato then grabbed a microphone while prone and made his CCW Title challenge to Tsukamoto.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Since Kenta Kobashi will be in attendance to see the D-Ou Grand Prix final, Tetsuya Endo decided to visit him at his gym during the week to get some feedback on his tournament performance. Endo also brought up his plans to create a new unit. He asked Kobashi for advice, citing Kobashi’s experience leading units such as GET and Burning. Kobashi said a unit needs a strategist so Endo’s position would improve if he finds a councilor. Endo immediately asked Kobashi if he could take that role in the unit. Kobashi declined because he is not interested in returning to the ring. He did however invite Endo back to his gym again after the Grand Prix so they could talk more about potential members for Endo’s new unit.

While I’ve been writing up this blog post, all of a sudden DDT sends out a tweet in English hyping up a big mystery name. “That BIG NAME that everyone’s talking about recently will be at DDT 12.26 NEVER MIND 2021 in YOYOGI! The name will be announced at DDT 12.5 Korakuen Hall! Stay tuned LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!” I’m out of the loop on this one.

A heavyweight match gives Naomi Yoshimura a chance to get past his poor D-Ou performances. Yukio Naya is still trying to get his act together but picked up some recent wins here and there.

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Banana Senga

Banana Senga scored a big win on the last show when he pinned Isami Kodaka in their tag match. He later stepped up to challenge Ryota Nakatsu next for the Union MAX Title. Around five years ago Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a match and while he accepts the blame over the injury, he doesn’t think he is responsible now to pay for any compensation towards Senga. Instead he is willing to defend the MAX Title against him.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN FITNESS SHOP NAGOYA PARCO SAKAE”, 17/12/2021
Aichi Fitness Shop Nagoya Parco Sakae Store

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO

The “big name” is going to be the Egg isn’t it? The Egg shows up and wins the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title because of that’s what should happen. Pay DDT the money to do this, Netflix!

BASARA “BASARA 180 ~WHITE WAGTAIL~”, 26/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Nakatsu accepting Senga’s challenge for the MAX Title on two weeks notice came as part of a deal. That match happens first then Sparky gets an IRON FIST Tag Titles shot against Speed Of Sounds two weeks after that.


BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~” Results

November 30, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil Kraken & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Kraken with the Samurai’s Return (13:34).
2. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Kubo submitted Gouma with the Crossface Lock (9:28).
3. Masahiro Takanashi defeated FUMA with the Uwabami (14:58).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Senga pinned Kodaka with the Cancun Tornado (15:09).
*V1 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with a Rolling Back Clutch Hold (20:12).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.

All is good between Sparky after their Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu said only people who are the same age and on the same team could fight each other like they do. It was a fight to the death but all that separated Nakatsu from SAGAT was a rolling pin. Nakatsu says it is his new move and he wants to call it the Nakaroll.

Speed Of Sounds approached Sparky after the main event. Banana Senga said he has a history with Nakatsu. Five years ago they were supposed to have a singles match but before it took place Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a tag team bout. Senga says Nakatsu owes him a lot of money over it so he should get a MAX Title shot on 14th December. Nakatsu agreed but in return he wants an IRON FIST Tag Titles match with SAGAT against as his partner on 26th December. Senga didn’t want to commit because what if he breaks his jaw again in the MAX Title match? Tsutomu Oosugi encouraged him to win the MAX Title, then they can defend the IRON FIST Titles and then Senga will be a double champion!

The two Sparky wrestlers are ready to fight over the Union MAX Title. Whenever they team together Ryota Nakatsu and SAGAT use the Big Mac to win their matches. They won’t be able to do that here when it’s one on one against each other.

They are doing this format a little earlier this year but this time around it is for the entire show! Ten matches, each one with a seven minute time limit, will all be randomly chosen on 4th December. There are 21 wrestlers available so one of the matches is a 3 Way Match so there will be nobody left out.

The final Ganbare☆Pro show of the year is happening on Christmas Day featuring friends old and new. Mizuki Watase and Tyson Maeguchi are included in Ganpro’s signature match, the Survival Tag.

Miku Aono and Misa Matsui are both from Actwres girl’Z. Hey if Ganpro wants to gather together all the AWG girls and make Ganbare☆Joshi their new home then I’d be fine with that.


BASARA “BASARA 175 & 176” Results

November 27, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 175 ~THE 15TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021

??? Fans – Withheld

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Lil Kraken with an Inverted Hurricanrana (10:54).

5. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Oosugi pinned Nakano with the Pictures At An Exhibition: Kobito (14:31).

Even though Gouma was not there to celebrate his anniversary match, everyone involved dressed up like him, carried law books and did his spots.

BASARA “BASARA 176 ~THE 16TH FOX PRINCE~”, 27/11/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Isami Kodaka defeated Lil Kraken with an Octopus Hold (8:48).
2. 3 Way Match: FUMA defeated Daiki Shimomura and Yasu Urano when FUMA submitted both Shimomura and Urano with a Camel Clutch Boston Crab (9:52).
3. Masato Kamino defeated Yusuke Kubo with the Lariat (11:28).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Oosugi pinned Kazato with a Cradle (11:44).
5. Ryota Nakatsu 7th Anniversary Match: Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Takato Nakano when Nakatsu pinned Nakano after the Happy Set (18:05).

The Happy Set is another version of the Big Mac, where a bunch more wrestlers stack up on each other before hitting a combined splash on the victim. In other words it’s named after the Happy Meal, except Japan calls it the Happy Set. It’s exactly the kind of treat everyone should get for Ryota Nakatsu’s celebration. Poor SAGAT had to carry all that weight though.

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi

Okay, now we have the official match order for the show. Konosuke Takeshita versus Yuji Okabayashi is the headlining match.

Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

Rina Amikura is from Actwres girl’Z.

BASARA “BASARA 174 ~TAKAGARI 6~”, 13/11/2021
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT & Fuminori Abe

Speed Of Sounds and Masahiro Takanashi will be on the show. I believe Takanashi still owes Fuminori Abe that rematch.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
2. International Princess Title Match: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The trios time limit draw at the last show has left both Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe wanting more against each other. Watanabe asked Noa for a singles match and Noa is willing to put the IP Title on the line for it. She has defended the title against Raku already so if she beats Watanabe then everyone can agree that Noa is the best of the Up Up Girls!

The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs SAGAT

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~” Results

October 24, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~”, 24/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).
2. Gouma & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned Kazato with a Diving Body Press (6:16).
3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.

There are last minute changes to the card after SAGAT tested positive for Covid-19. SAGAT had been feeling unwell with a low fever during the week and went to get tested. Isami Kodaka and Takumi Tsukamoto were both in close contact with him during the period and will also miss tomorrow’s show. All three of them will be absent for two weeks so they can self isolate.

The Union MAX Title match has been postponed and Minoru Fujita will face Gouma in a singles match instead. The IRON FIST Tag Titles match has been moved up to the main event with Akiyori Takizawa substituting for SAGAT.

Makoto Oishi tweeted about his back injury he suffered during yesterday’s match. He is currently under examinations at a hospital in Shiroishi. He said he feels sore but doesn’t have any numbness in his back. Other than that he’s just waiting for updates at this point. DDT themselves haven’t said anything about it yet.

Fujitsu Stadium Kawasaki

0. Electric Current Explosion 8-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Maki Itoh Vs Kuro-chan, Super Sasadango Machine, Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Hikari Noa

4. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Saki Akai is taking the initiative and challenged DAMNATION for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! The concern coming from the rest of Eruption is whether or not Akai is ready to face the powerful trio of Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino. Endo in particular is riding a high as the tourist ambassador of Shiroishi City banishing everyone he beats from his hometown. There are no actual stipulations preventing those wrestlers from visiting that place again but nobody can convince Endo otherwise. Akai isn’t afraid of the mighty task ahead of her. She sees Eruption and DAMNATION as the two strongest groups in DDT so the match must happen to see who is best!
