BASARA “BASARA 82 ~FEAST~” Results

November 17, 2018

BASARA “BASARA 82 ~FEAST~”, 17/11/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
243 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano defeated Best Stretchman V3, Best Stretchman Amazon & Stretchman Man when Urano submitted Stretchman with a Mexican Stretch (9:38).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Jun Masaoka when Sekine submitted Hiroshi with the Lotus Let’s Combine (8:01).
3. Sparky Vs Sakigake!! Iron Family: Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizara defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Tanizaki pinned Kubo with the Implant (14:59).
4. Tenkaichi Jr. Tournament – Round 1: Fuminori Abe defeated Ikuto Hidaka with a Cradle (14:13).
5. Sento Minzoku Vs Ganbare☆Wrestling: Minoru Fujita & Daiki Shimomura defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shota when Fujita pinned Shota with the Modified Samson Clutch (11:09).
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with the Crescent Moon (16:37).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The show was focused on establishing the Nakatsu Gundan, who are now going to be called Sparky. With new yellow baseball jerseys being worn by every member and black strips under their eyes, today was the first time Ryota Nakatsu, Naoki Tanizaki and Akiyori Takizara were all together since the unit’s formation. Nakatsu defeated SAGAT in the main event to defend the Union MAX Title. He countered a Perfect Plex from SAGAT into the Crescent Moon modified Crab Hold to make the challenger submit. They shook hands afterwards and Sparky ended the show celebrating by drinking beers with the fans around the ring.

The Sento Minzoku Vs Ganbare☆Wrestling match turned into a brawl early and kept the bad tension all the way through. When the match was over Daiki Shimomura wanted to get Keisuke Ishii’s attention but Ishii ignored him.

Fuminori Abe’s win over Ikuto Hidaka means that he advances to the semi-final of the Tekaichi Jr. Tournament in Zero1. As part of the tournament gimmick, Abe is now in possession of two crystal balls. The tournament winner ends up possessing all of the balls and can use them to make a wish.

The finish of the 3 Way Match had Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi put himself in an upside down lotus position to meditate. Ryuichi Sekine simply grabbed onto Hiroshi from that position and applied the Let’s Combine to make him give up.

Best Stretchman V3 is starting to act like Yasu Urano is the 4th member of the Best Stretch team. He called him Uranoman throughout the opener and asked to team with him the next time BASARA is in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RED ANGEL 2018” Results

November 17, 2018

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RED ANGEL 2018”, 17/11/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
126 Fans

1. GanJo Final Settlement Match!: Moeka Haruhi defeated Manami Kanda with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:08).
2. THE ROOT OF WRESTLING TAG BATTLE!!: Nobuhiro Tsurumaki & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Takeshi Okada when Iwasaki pinned Okada with a Grounded Cobra Twist (12:07).
3. Hitori Shiten No Pro Wrestling, Encounter With The Mystery Of India: Keisuke Ishii defeated Baliyan Akki with the Body Strangle Reverse Full Nelson (12:55).
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs MAD DOG CLUB: Ben McCoy, Justin Dread & Vic Capri defeated Hiroshi Yamato, Yumehito Imanari & Shota when Dread pinned Shota with the Firebird Splash (12:16).
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku Again!: Ken Ohka defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:36).

Ken Ohka was left bloodied by Ryuichi Sekine but not beaten. Sekine busted Ohka open with a metal spike as they brawled outside the ring. Ohka escaped from the Let’s Combine and took control with some Dragon Screws and the Kamikaze. The two traded chops and heabutts until Ohka hit the Fire Spear and pinned Sekine with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka called Sekine his friend but also said if he is now his enemy because of Sento Minzoku then he will fight him as many times as possible. But now Ohka has another target in his sights. Minoru Fujita! Ohka needs an opponent for the big Korakuen Hall show on 16th January and he has a lot of history with Fujita. Ohka is challenging Fujita to a No Ropes Barbed Wire match for the main event! Fujita says his kind of pro wrestling isn’t going to get on the cover of Shukan Puroresu but the feelings he puts into it aren’t lies. He will give it his all at Korakuen!

The Ganbare☆Wrestling rookie Shuhei Washida approached Ohka at the end of the show pleading to be added to the Korakuen card. Washida cannot stand being away from Ganpro especially as more and more wrestlers join the group. He slapped Ohka to prove how serious he is and it was enough to convince him. Ohka was then blindsided when Minoru Fujita attacked him. Fujita set up a table at ringside and crushed Ohka through it with a Diving Body Press from the top rope. Fujita told Ohka that Sento Minzoku only has one purpose and that’s to destroy Ganpro!

The MAD DOG CLUB ruined everyone’s fun when they attacked Hiroshi Yamato, Yumehito Imanari & Shota before their match. The Ganpro team were dancing with radishes to entertain the fans when the MDC ambushed them.

Referee Daisuke Kiso got knocked out during the Moeka Haruhi Vs Manami Kanda match. Yumehito Imanari got in the ring all dressed up to take his place but Haruhi and Kanda quickly got rid of him.

HARUKAZE will return to Ganpro on 16th December. She will team with Moeka Haruhi to take on Sumire Natsu & Fairy Nihonbashi. Other matches announced are Kouki Iwasaki Vs Jake Lee and Keisuke Ishii Vs Jun Akiyama! Two other names were announced to appear. Yukihiro Abe and Mitomi Masayuki make their Ganpro returns!

BASARA “BASARA 81 ~WIND, CLOUDS AND RAINBOW~” Results

November 4, 2018

BASARA “BASARA 81 ~WIND, CLOUDS AND RAINBOW~”, 03/11/2018
Chiba Blue Field
127 Fans

1. Kaji Tomato defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Speed (7:28).
2. FUMA, SAGAT & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano when SAGAT pinned Tsukamoto with the Goregrind (16:40).
3. Yusuke Kubo defeated Jun Masaoka with the Death Metal Roll (11:56).
4. Sento Minzoku Vs FITNESS BEAUTY: Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated Yuji Hino & Yuta Suzuki when Sekine pinned Suzuki with the Ryusetsu (16:55).
5. NEW GENERATION TAG MATCH: Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Fuminori Abe & Takato Nakano when Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider (12:53).

After the main event Ryota Nakatsu noted that a lot of people in BASARA are getting up to stuff outside of the company. He pointed to Fuminori Abe entering the Tenka-Ichi tournament in ZERO1 and Daiki Shimomura asking for an Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title shot on 23rd November. Nakatsu isn’t concerned about all of that. He wants to keep his focus inside BASARA and will do that by defending the Union MAX Title on 17th November. Nakatsu never said who he was facing but he didn’t need to. SAGAT entered the ring and attempted to hit the Goregrind on Nakatsu but he moved out of the way! SAGAT got up and told Nakatsu he wanted the title shot because he is the only one from Union still in BASARA yet to challenge for the belt. Nakatsu accepted the challenge. He also announced the formation of his new unit. For now it will be called Nakatsu Gundan and the unit will consist of three members including himself. The other two will be revealed on 17th November. Nakatsu hopes the unit will have a proper name by the time BASARA returns to Chiba Blue Field in January.

Minoru Fujita has new gear to fit in a little bit more with the rest of Sento Minzoku. The match mostly centred around tension between Ryuichi Sekine and Yuta Suzuki. They put aside their differences after the match. Yuji Hino then decided to have some fun by trying to pull Sekine’s tail off. Sekine escaped with his tail but was left in a lot of pain.

BASARA “BASARA 80 ~OSAKA’S TEAM THE WORLD~” Results

October 14, 2018

BASARA “BASARA 80 ~OSAKA’S TEAM THE WORLD~”, 13/10/2018
Osaka World Pavilion
169 Fans

1. Best Stretchman V3 & Stretchman Man defeated Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano when V3 pinned Nakano with the Best Stretch Bomb (9:04).
2. BASARA World’s Three Big Singles Match ~Yoga Also Handled Care~: Naoki Tanizaki defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Implant (12:01).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Jun Masaoka defeated Yusuke Kubo & SAGAT when Masaoka pinned Kubo with the Caldera (12:50).

5. Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa when Sekine pinned Takizawa with a Cradle (17:00).
6. BASARA World’s Three Big Singles Match ~FUMA FEST extra track~: HUB defeated FUMA with the Snake Knife Package Hold (19:14).

After the main event HUB told FUMA it’s been a long time since they first met in Okinawa Pro around 6 or 7 years ago. Today was HUB’s first match in a month because he was recovering from an injury. He was afraid to wrestle today because he didn’t trust his relationship with FUMA. He is delighted to be proven wrong and he thanked FUMA and BASARA for the match today. FUMA called the result a perfect defeat for him. His goal for a long time was to be good enough to beat HUB and he is now more motivated than ever to achieve it. HUB encouraged FUMA to continue on as the leader of the Iron Family. FUMA promoted the next “FUMA FEST” to the Osaka crowd and apologised to them that the only show of the “tour” is in Tokyo. He brought up the idea of bringing “FUMA FEST” to Osaka next year.

The Sento Minzoku team told Ryota Nakatsu he has to keep leading BASARA as the Union MAX Champion while Isami Kodaka is absent. They warned him it’s a big challenge and he should be able to take it. Sento Minzoku then attacked Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa until Naoki Tanizaki surprised everyone by coming to the rescue. Sento Minzoku fled and Nakatsu accepted their challenge. He wants BASARA’s strongest to join together. He knows this is sudden but Nakatsu asked Tanizaki to join his sider. Nakatsu accepted and we now have a new unit. Ryota Nakatsu, Naoki Tanizaki and Akiyori Takizawa will fight for BASARA against Sento Minzoku, the Iron Family, the Best Stretch wrestlers and so on!

Jun Masaoka is starting to win more and more in his BASARA appearances. This time he got the pin on Yusuke Kubo and that got under the masked man’s skin. Kubo attacked Masaoka after their tag match and the two had to be pulled apart.

Tanizaki played along with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s yoga antics. It went to the point where Tanizaki worked as a base for Hiroshi’s stretches. Hiroshi ended up putting himself in position for Tanizaki to drop him with the Implant.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE 2018” Results

October 12, 2018

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE 2018”, 11/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
157 Fans

1. Fanfare Supporting Imanari Revolution: Shuichiro Katsumura & Nobuhiro Tsurumaki defeated Hiroshi Yamato & Yumehito Imanari when Katsumura submitted Imanari with the Ninja Choke (11:07).
2. “Spring” Is Not Over Yet!: Moeka Haruhi & Koharu Hinata defeated Saki & Manami Kanda when Haruhi pinned Kanda with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:27).
3. Ganpro Flow! Shigehiro Irie Spectacular Match!: Shigehiro Irie defeated Chikara with the Beast Bomber (11:47).
4. THE ROOT OF WRESTLING: Hideki Suzuki defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Double Arm Suplex (11:37).
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku Singles Series: Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita (3) defeated Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shota (2).
5a. Shota eliminated Daiki Shimomura with a Casadora (5:41).
5b. Minoru Fujita eliminated Shota with the SAYONARA (3:18).
5c. Minoru Fujita eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out (11:50).
5d. Ken Ohka eliminated Minoru Fujita by Ring Out (1:15).
5e. Ryuichi Sekine eliminated Ken Ohka with the Dragon Kick (11:26).

The first meeting between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Sento Minzoku took place as a singles Gauntlet match with Ring Out rules in effect until the final match. Things started off well for Ganpro when Shota pinned Daiki Shimomura. Sento Minzoku’s newest member Minoru Fujita turned the tables by beating Shota and then Keisuke Ishii. When Ken Ohka stepped into the ring to fight him, Fujita instead decided to eliminate himself. Ryuichi Sekine then attacked Ohka from behind to begin the final round of the match. Sekine bloodied Ohka’s forehead outside the ring and he blocked the Fire Spear with a Kneelift inside the ring. Sekine wrapped his tail around his leg and hit Ohka with the Dragon Kick. The extra power behind the move got Sekine and Sento Minzoku the victory, although Ohka did kick out right as the ref counted three.

The disputed finish led to a brawl between the two sides. During Sekine’s attempts to tell everyone it was a three count, Shimomura grabbed the microphone off him and told Ishii he was coming after him. He’s ready for a fight anytime, anywhere. Fujita then bragged about being back in the main story of Ganpro. He both won and lost his matches today, showing that this invasion isn’t as black and white as it seems. His purpose in the unit is to make everything good in both BASARA and Ganpro. Ohka said his side lost today but losing is never the end when it comes to wrestling. Life goes on and Ohka still has fight in him to have another match. He told everyone that both Ganpro and BASARA will be holding shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 17th November. Ohka wants singles matches against Sekine on one show and Fujita on the other. They both accepted. Sekine promised to be in perfect condition while Fujita told Ohka to borrow the power of B’z and “BAD COMMUNICATION” when they face off again.

Hideki Suzuki isn’t sure if Kouki Iwasaki has earned his respect yet, but Suzuki never wanted to give him that in the first place. Suzuki would rather have Iwasaki show no respect and come at him with a killer instinct. That is how Suzuki does it and he wants his opponents to do that too. With that said he did shake Iwasaki’s hand after the match.

The match between Shigehiro Irie and Chikara featured unexpected interference from Shin Mokujin Ken, Mizuki Watase and Keisuke Ishii. Both Watase and Ishii launched an attack train on Irie as a good gestured farewell. They encouraged the referee Daisuke Kiso to join in but Irie caught him. He threatened to give Kiso the Black Hole Slam but instead gently put him down and gave him a hug. Irie went on to beat Chikara and they shook with their left hands. Irie left the ring with a big smile on his face.

Both teams in the women’s match wanted to be called Team HARUKAZE. At the beginning of the show Moeka Haruhi announced she is joining Ganpro to support the Ganbare☆Joshi division in HARUKAZE’s absence.

Hiroshi Yamato & Yumehito Imanari brought radishes to the ring and used them as weapons on their opponents. Shuichiro Katsumura & Nobuhiro Tsurumaki turned the radishes against the team and won the match.

Ryota Nakatsu was sombre in victory after his first successful Union MAX Title defence. Daiki Shimomura has changed since he came to BASARA. They had an exciting match for the title but Nakatsu isn’t ready to lose to him yet. With no trouble brewing between them, Nakatsu encouraged Shimomura and the rest of Sento Minzoku to go beat Ganbare☆Wrestling at their next show. Nakatsu raised a toast on his own to end the show and said he felt lonely. He knows that somewhere Isami Kodaka is watching. Nakatsu is here waiting for him. Kodaka can feel confident in Nakatsu leading BASARA in his absence.

The Brahman Brothers are back to make a mess in BASARA. They did their bowling ball and suitcase spot but FUMA & SAGAT later turned the tables and did the same spot to them. They lifted up Brahman Kei for a double Razor’s Edge move called the Crucifixion Of Death but Brahman Shu stopped them by throwing powder in their faces. They later blinded SAGAT with the black India Ink and pinned him with the Five Body Dissatisfaction pinning combination. The Brahmans led a “Heavy Metal” chant after they won.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Minoru Fujita is definitely a member of Sento Minzoku. He has a tail now so it is undeniable. Fujita & Ryuichi Sekine couldn’t beat Ikuto Hidaka & Fuminori Abe within the time limit. Both teams demanded extra time to be added. They even did push ups and squats to prove to the referee that they were all still able to continue. Their appeal was interrupted when suddenly Ken Ohka & Shota from Ganpro ran into the ring and attacked Sekine! Ohka grabbed the microphone and was about to speak when Daiki Shimomura blindsided him with a Missile Dropkick knocking him out of the ring. Sekine regrouped with Shota outside and declared Ganpro’s upcoming match with Sento Minzoku to be an all out fight! They’re even willing to fight outnumbered 3 Vs 2 now that Fujita is involved with them. Fujita taunted the Ganpro duo and reminded them of their history together. Ohka attempted to get in the ring but Shimomura kicked him off, forcing Ganpro to retreat. Sekine then properly invited Fujita to join Sento Minzoku, placing his red hoodie over his back. Fujita accepted the invitation.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi convinced Best Stretchman V3 to try out some yoga stretches. When V3 went into the Halasana position where he lies on his back and rolls onto his shoulders by lifting his legs, he felt so relaxed that he fell asleep. Hiroshi then gently pinned him for the three count.

The former Banana Senga returned to this form so he could participate in the Reversal Pro Wrestling Trials again. However his transformation wasn’t entirely complete because he still had the Stretch Man Man hook worn over his hand. American wrestler Michael Wolf was under trial for fraud. Apparently they thought Wolf was Ryuichi Sekine in disguise. Both Senga and Gouma Ryu attacked Wolf thinking he was a fake foreigner. Wolf hit them with a Double Lariat and pinned Senga with the Blue Thunder to prove his innocence. Wolf then called the both of them fake lawyers and fake wrestlers in Japanese.

FUMA will take on The Great Sasuke in the main event of “FUMA FEST VOL.2” on 8th December. FUMA doesn’t like how Sasuke used a song from the movie “Anvil” as his entrance music years ago. FUMA thinks that song was boring so he wants to give Sasuke a real lesson in heavy metal!

An update was given for Isami Kodaka’s current health. He was allowed to leave his hospital earlier than planned but it is unknown when he will be fit to return to the ring.

HARASHIMA Vs Okuda, FUMA Vs HUB, Bakuretsu Sisters

October 3, 2018

I’ll be going on holiday tomorrow for a week so any upcoming news and results won’t be posted until next Thursday at the earliest. I’m going to have around 7 shows from all of the active brands to catch up on by the time I’m back so if anything big happens I’ll be sure to tweet about it once I find out.

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #20”, 10/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

0. NO TV Match: Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Keisuke Ishii & Yumehito Imanari
0. NO TV Match: Jason Kincaid & Michael Wolf Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino

5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Keisuke Okuda
6. Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo

An unprovoked attack by Keisuke Okuda on Kazuki Hirata led to a pull apart between him and HARASHIMA on this week’s episode of Maji Manji. A singles match between the two will settle their differences.

Konosuke Takeshita is the third Mote Mote wrestler.

The battle of RENEGADES sees Shigehiro Irie face off against Mizuki Watase. There is no bad blood between them so this will be more of a chance for them to say goodbye to each other.

Michael Wolf is an Oklahoma wrestler from Compound Pro Wrestling. He is 173cm tall and weighs 89kg.

BASARA “BASARA 80 ~OSAKA’S TEAM THE WORLD~”, 13/10/2018

5. BASARA World’s Three Big Singles Match ~Yoga Also Handled Care~: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Naoki Tanizaki
6. BASARA World’s Three Big Singles Match ~FUMA FEST extra track~: FUMA Vs HUB

In his previous BASARA appearances, HUB has acted as an on again off again member of IRON PRIEST and the the Metal Family. FUMA gets to face him in a match promoting “FUMA FEST VOL.2”.

The new Sento Minzoku unit is already finding a list of opponents to fight. Ryuichi Sekine will no doubt want to see how powerful his friend Ryota Nakatsu has become since becoming the Union MAX Champion. They both vowed to fight each other to become stronger wrestlers. Fuminori Abe is too pure and well behaved to fit in with the unit so he has to become a rival instead. Somebody speaking on behalf of Minoru Fujita signed him up for membership but we’ll see if he’s really up for it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SABAKU NO TAKA 2018”, 14/10/2018
Fukuoka Oki Gakuen Dome

2. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Miu

Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino are now called The Bakuretsu Sisters. They’ve been doing well together ever since Tenma’s makeover so more changes for them won’t hurt.

Goodbye To Shibuya DESEO, Sento Minzoku, Tokyo Joshi’s Forbidden 3 Rule, Irie In Ganpro

October 1, 2018

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THANK YOU SHIBUYA DESEO ~5 YEARS LATER I TREMBLE IN A MIRACLE I SET UP IN THIS PLACE~”, 03/10/2018
Shibuya DESEO

1. Azusa Takigawa Vs Yuu
2. Yuka Sakazaki & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
3. Miyu Yamashita & Yuna Manase Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

The original home venue for the early years of Tokyo Joshi Pro will be closing down for renovations and relocating to another part of Shibuya at the end of November. Tokyo Joshi are coming back for one more ringless show to send the place off. The first half of the event will consist of live performances from the Ito Respect Army, Konkatsu-gun, Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma and Yuki Aino. The second half of the show will be the three wrestling matches.

BASARA “BASARA 79 ~FEAST~”, 05/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Manabu Hara, Jun Masaoka & Akiyori Takizawa
2. Reversal Pro Wrestling Trial: Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga Vs X
3. Best Stretchman V3 & Best Stretchman Amazon Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yusuke Kubo
4. Minoru Fujita & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Sakigake!! Iron Family Vs Brahman Brothers!: FUMA & SAGAT Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

A press conference was held on the 27th September to announce the full card. Daiki Shimomura is the first person to challenge Ryota Nakatsu for the Union MAX Title. Shimomura admits he doesn’t know much about the history of that championship but he thinks he will become an interesting champion because of that reason. He also wants to beat Nakatsu more than he wants the belt. It’s been two years since they last faced each other one on one in the DNA Grand Prix. Shimomura cannot wait to show how much he has changed since then.

The other news to come out of the conference also involves Shimomura. Isami Kodaka sent a written message explaining that he is recovering from both a fractured jaw and a neck injury. He is interested in seeing what interesting things will happen to BASARA while he is gone. Who will gain power? Who will behave differently without him around? He will watch from the shadows but will do so as part of a new unit called Sento Minzoku. Also part of this unit are Ryuichi Sekine and Daiki Shimomura. Sekine has now grown a monkey’s tail just like Shimomura and he will be the leader of the group in Kodaka’s absence. They have made an offer to Minoru Fujita to join them. A person with a bag over his head claiming to be Fujita just said he will turn BASARA into a lawless zone now that the general is gone. Fuminori Abe offered his opinion on the matter and said his behaviour is too good for him to join Sento Minzoku.

Stretchman Man is back to being Banana Senga so he can do the Reversal Wrestling Trial again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOW DO YOU LIKE KITAZAWA?”, 08/10/2018
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Raku
2. Maki Itoh Vs Hinano
3. Yuu Vs Miu
4. Reika Saiki Vs Hikari
5. Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao Vs Priscilla Kelly & Shoko Nakajima
6. Azusa Takigawa Vs Yuna Manase (Special Referee: Nonoko)
7. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino

In two days time Sanshiro Takagi will be holding a meeting with several Tokyo Joshi wrestlers to discuss the Forbidden Three rule used by the promotion. There is confusion over how established the rules are because they were never strictly enforced. The women also think the rules aren’t even necessary for the majority of the roster because most of them are adults.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE 2018”, 11/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. “Spring” Is Not Over Yet!: Moeka Haruhi & Koharu Hinata Vs Saki & Manami Kanda
2. Ganpro Flow! Shigehiro Irie Spectacular Match!: Shigehiro Irie Vs Chikara
3. Fanfare Supporting Imanari Revolution: Hiroshi Yamato & Yumehito Imanari Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Nobuhiro Tsurumaki
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shota Vs Ryuichi Sekine, Daichi Shimomura & X
5. THE ROOT OF WRESTLING: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Hideki Suzuki

Sento Minzoku isn’t just going to stay put in BASARA. Sekine visited the recent Ganbare☆Wrestling show to challenge Ken Ohka to a match between the two groups. That challenge turned into an attack by Sekine so this isn’t going to be a friendly kickabout.

Shigehiro Irie’s first non-DDT appearance as a freelancer is with Ganpro. This will be his second match for the group. The first took place in August 2017.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOW DO YOU LIKE OSAKA?”, 13/10/2018

The combination of the Magical Sugar Rabbits and Miraclians has created the MagiRabIans!

Yuna Manase and Yuki Kamifuku are feuding over Kamifuku’s recent photoshoot for FRIDAY magazine.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SABAKU NO TAKA 2018”, 14/10/2018
