BASARA “VAJRA 10 WU” Results

May 13, 2016

kodaka-sagat

BASARA “VAJRA 10 WU”, 13/05/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
77 Fans

1. Dance! Ueki Police 24 Hours ~Hiroshi 100 Moments Of Barrage~: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Takayuki Ueki with a School Boy (9:04).
2. Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto defeated Tsutomu Oosugi, Hercules Chinga & Yusuke Kubo when Sekine pinned Kubo with the Ryusetsu (10:50).
3. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ B Block: Takumi Tsukamoto (4) defeated Ryu Gouma (0) by Countout (8:05).
4. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ A Block: Isami Kodaka (4) defeated SAGAT (0) with the Zeyyari (15:40).
5. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ B Block: FUMA (4) defeated Daichi Kazato (4) with the Heavy Metal Anthem (20:25).

Block A Standings

1. Isami Kodaka (4)
-. Ryuichi Sekine (2)
-. Ryota Nakatsu (2)
4. Yusuke Kubo (0)
-. SAGAT (0)

Block B Standings

1. FUMA (4)
-. Daichi Kazato (4)
-. Takumi Tsukamoto (4)
4. Hiroshi Fukuda (0)
-. Ryu Gouma (0)

The race to the top of Block B is now wide open after FUMA defeated Daichi Kazato. Despite the tension between the two Kazato has now earned FUMA’s respect. FUMA called back to the first BASARA show when he said Kazato was not tough enough to be heavy metal like he is. Turns out he was wrong. There are many kinds of heavy metal and he can tell in his soul that Kazato is heavy metal in his own way. FUMA thinks Kazato is a great rival for him in BASARA.

Over in Block A Isami Kodaka has taken the lead after two wins in two matches. He’s aiming to go undefeated for the entire tournament. SAGAT accepts that he lost to one of the best wrestlers on the indie scene but realises he must win his remaining matches by any means.

Once again Ryu Gouma’s countout plan backfired. The only thing that went right for him was successfully convincing Kyohei Wada that his law book is an official weapon and could be used legally in the match. Takumi Tsukamoto wasn’t allowed to use his giant hammer. He won the match anyway but felt strange over it ending by countout.

5. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daichi Kazato with the Drake Driver (14:36).

Takumi Tsukamoto was full of praise for Daicho Kazato after the main event. He called out Isami Kodaka to talk about their upcoming match on 26th February. He said he’s been wrestling with Kodaka for four years and he’s learned a lot during that time. He is grateful for the opportunity BASARA has given him. Kodaka said he is amazed by the young wrestlers like Tsukamoto and Kazato.

BASARA’s two new tag teams went to a 20 minute draw against each other. FUMA was close to winning the match in the final seconds when he gave Ryuichi Sekine the Heavy Metal Anthem but the bell rang before he could go for the pin. Madoka also brought out a ukulele and smashed it over Sekine’s head. Madoka hasn’t completely figured out FUMA’s new obsession with heavy metal music but he promises to find his own metal music to fit in.

After the 3 Way Match Atsushi Maruyama called out Ryu Gouma for being unable to wrestle fair and square and always using weapons. He challenged Gouma to a fight and then attacked him with his Statute Book. Gouma recovered and hit the Jumping Neckbreaker. Maruyama backed off and they both agreed to settle their feud with one more 3 Way Match on 26th February.

Either let Tomodachi-gun book the January show or they will all skip it and come back in February. Heck, maybe they’ll skip February too!

When Tomodachi-gun left ringside Ohka broke down into tears. The other members of Ganpuro all tried to fire him up with words of encouragement and also by physically striking him. Ohka snapped out of it and accepted Tomodachi-gun’s demand for next month.

4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Tomodachi-gun: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Minoru Fujita & Yukihiro Abe

Ganbare☆Wrestling is still reeling from the betrayal of Yukihiro Abe joining Tomodachi-gun. Abe was randomly picked to be kicked out of Ganpuro when they were defeated in a Loser Leaves Town match. Abe unreasonably blames Ken Ohka and the rest of Ganpuro for dumping him and has joined their enemies to get revenge.

An announcement will be made at the show about the Ganbare☆Wrestling Grand Prix 2015.

From out of nowhere Ganpuro revealed it will be presenting a few matches for the RIZIN Martial Arts EXPO in Saitama Super Arena’s Community Hub. The expo takes place from 29th to 31st December in the build up to the RIZIN FIGHTING WORLD GRAND-PRIX 2015 on New Year’s Eve.
