To-y Still Injured, Ohka Gets Mochizuki, TJPW Title Matches Confirmed

March 24, 2025

Apparently tomorrow is when the official DDT website gets a makeover while Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally get an official website of their own again. For my own sake I hope it’s not going to make getting info more difficult.

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Shota Kofuji
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Kosuke Sato
3. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii
4. Masato Kamino Vs Yuko Miyamoto
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ryota Nakatsu V Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Yasu Urano

The match order for tomorrow’s BASARA show is swapped around a little bit.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazusada Higuchi & JJ Furno
2. 3 Way Match: Shishamo Power Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Yuni
3. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida
5. Special Tag Match: Takuya Nomura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
6. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Keigo Nakamura

To-y hasn’t recovered from his injury yet so he will be missing this week’s shows. The show on 26th March now has one less match on it after a bunch of wrestlers were moved around for To-y’s absence.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs JJ Furno
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
6. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X

Not as many changes to Night 2 but a chunk of that lineup depends on how the KING OF DRUNK stuff turns out anyway. Makoto Oishi is now on the show though.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)

1. Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko Vs Yuki Aino, Kaya Toribami & Ivy Steele
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo Vs Chika Nanase
3. Maki Itoh Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer
5. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Toha & Mifu Ashida
6. Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi Vs Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto

At first it seems weird that Yuki Arai’s match isn’t the main event of this show but then I remember she has a concert to prepare for that’s happening at the end. Also there’s a Princess Of Princess Title match that needs to be built up. Priorities, people!

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. 3 Way Match: Yukio Naya Vs JJ Furno Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Yasu Urano & Yuni
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazusada Higuchi
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
6. MAO’s Last The 37KAMIINA Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Takeshi Masada

DDT have put together a ragtag team for MAO’s last match as a member of The 37KAMIINA. It starts out looking like an all-star squad with HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dieno then we get wacky with Kazuki Hirata and end with a youthful wild card in Takeshi Masada.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT APRIL”, 03/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
2. Ilusion Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura Vs To-y & Takeshi Masada

The young wrestlers take most of the stage for April’s “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” show including a return to the generational rivalry between Yuni and Ilusion.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Daichi Sato
3. Naomi Yoshimura’s Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, To-y, Takeshi Masada & JJ Furno
4. 2 Vs 1 Special Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs KANON
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

This looks a little bit awkward. Minoru Suzuki clearly enjoys being in the ring with Yuki Ueno but he did just take the DDT Universal Title away from him. How is Ueno going to act next to him when they team up together? The match is a chance for either HARASHIMA or Danshoku Dieno to nab themselves a future Universal Title shot if things go their way too.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Hartley Jackson, Daisuke®️ & HARUKAZE Vs Yasu Urano, PSYCHO & Banny Oikawa
2. Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Mizuki Watase’s Return Match: Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Choun-Shiryu & Rekka Vs Kouki Iwasaki, Takuya Wada, Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami
4. Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, Koguma & Hazuki Vs Moeka Haruhi, YuuRI & Ami Manase
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Masaaki Mochizuki
6. Special Tag Team Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata & Tatsuhito Takaiwa
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Here’s the full line up for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall. After weeks of searching Ken Ohka found his star opponent. It’s Masaaki Mochizuki from Dragongate! We also have Mizuki Watase returning in an 8-Man Tag (looks to me like he isn’t 100% ready yet) and a reunion of the Hentai Punch Drunkers. Meanwhile Munetatsu Nakamura picked up a friend from his recent FREEDOMS appearance, bringing Toru Sugiura over to team with him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Jada Stone
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The three title matches for Las Vegas are now confirmed. Mizuki has taken the risk of choosing Miyu Yamashita for her next Princess Title defence in the hopes she can finally beat her one on one. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have formed the team Ober Eats to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Last but not least there is the rematch of Suzume versus Jada Stone with the International Princess Title again on the line.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「WEST」”, 05/05/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Raku (c) Vs Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana

TJPW’s Golden Week shows will feature the Japanese debut of Malaysian wrestler Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana. As part of her tour she will face Raku for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. Diana currently holds the APAC Women’s Title in Malaysia and is the latest name from the Southeast Asian wrestling scene to work with TJPW.

BASARA “BASARA 273 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~” Results

March 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 273 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 14/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated KUBITO & Lil’ Kraken when Sekine submitted Kraken with the Let’s Combine (11:03).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Takeru Inoue defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Inoue pinned Senga with the Lockdown (8:42).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Kaji Tomato & Kota Sekifuda defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi and Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Sekifuda pinned Kazato after the Speedman (12:39).
4. Daiki Shimomura defeated FUMA with La Magistral Cradle (14:39).
5. Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated SAGAT & Ryota Nakatsu when Kodaka pinned SAGAT With the Isamiashi Zan (19:54).

Today was a fresh start for Isami Kodaka. He appeared wearing a new costume as well as sporting a fresh hair dye job. However he hasn’t quite moved on from Sento Minzoku yet. After winning in the main event, Kodaka challenged Ryota Nakatsu for the Union MAX Title with the goal of becoming champion and then defending the belt against all other former members of the disbanded group! Nakatsu agreed to have the title match in Kodaka’s hometown of Yokohama on 12th April.

Daiki Shimomura feels like he’s done all that he can after he beat FUMA in a singles match today. With Keisuke Ishii by his side he thinks they can’t lose when they face FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on 12th April. All he can do until then is maybe think up of a tag team name.

The injured Takeru Inoue was put on trial accused of habitual gambling, referencing a recent news story about the comedian Takahira Kuruma getting in trouble for similar reasons. Both Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga pressured him with questions, asking him why he chose to train with HEAT-UP first before joining BASARA and insinuating that Inoue has never had a girlfriend. That last one caused Inoue to snap because he had four girlfriends in total when he was in high school. Inoue told the two to take wrestling seriously and ended up beating the both of them in a match to be declared Not Guilty.

9. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

There is guaranteed to be new champions crowned on this show because DDT decided the winners of Harimao versus NωA Jr. will be rewarded with the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Shota Kofuji
2. Masato Kamino Vs Yuko Miyamoto
3. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii
4. Isami Kodaka Vs Kosuke Sato
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ryota Nakatsu V Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Yasu Urano

All of the current BASARA champions are teaming up for the main event. That gives the opposing team a great chance to get a title shot somewhere down the line if they can beat them.

DDT “WEDDING HALL PRO WRESTLING SPRING FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU”, 30/03/2025
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida

4. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Last year’s Wedding Hall show that wasn’t to be has not been abandoned. DDT had to wait until the end of March a year later to finally walk down the wedding aisle for a wrestling show. The venue is an outdoor one too so if it rains on the day it might end up getting postponed again.

DDT “DDT & SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU PRESENTS WEDDING PRO WRESTLING”, 30/03/2025
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata

There will also be a Falls Count Anywhere match taking place in the venue later in the day. Due to the flexibility of the match stipulation it should be able to go ahead under shelter somewhere if rain does happen to change plans.

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Shota Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Tag Match: Yumiko Hotta & Miku Kanae Vs Mio Shirai & Saran
3. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Maki Itoh
4. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

Two more matches added to Sanshiro Takagi’s new project. The joshi tag match has Yumiko Hotta & Miku Kanae coming in representing the T-HEARTS promotion against two wrestlers who left Ice Ribbon at the end of last year. Mio Shirai needs no introduction. Saran is 16 years old yet is already reaching four years of in-ring experience under her belt.

Shota’s opponent Mikiya Sasaki is nicknamed the “Dotonbori Bronco” and is heavily influenced by Dory Funk Jr. He’s been wrestling for 20 years across the micro indies.

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Gouma Ryu Vs Kikutaro

Kikutaro has been in a few legal troubles here and there but his match with Gouma Ryu here will not be in the court room.

They Will Get Along Because They’re Both From Saitama, Hanami KING OF DRUNK, Updates For Las Vegas Shows

March 5, 2025

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH”, 06/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs To-y & Yukio Naya

Recent D GENERATIONS CUP finalists Yuya Koroku and Takeshi Masada face off once again.

There will also be a live performance by NωA Jr. on tomorrow’s show.

BASARA “BASARA 273 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 14/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Takeru Inoue Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Kaji Tomato & Kota Sekifuda

The next few BASARA shows will have matches building up the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match scheduled for April. Here FUMA faces Daiki Shimomura one on one.

GANBARE☆PRO “JUSTICE LEAGUE 2025”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Shota Kofuji
2. Hanako Nakamori, Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Yuna Manase, YuuRI & Banny Oikawa
3. Shinichiro Tominaga & Rekka Vs Takuya Wada & PSYCHO
4. Ken Ohka Vs Tyson Maeguchi
5. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Choun-Shiryu Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuki Kanzaki & Munetatsu Nakamura
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

One more challenge is in Yumehito Imanari’s way before he gets to headline a Korakuen Hall show as the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. The man standing in his way is Fuminori Abe. Chances are somebody on the card will be the one to approach the champion at the end of the show to make the Korakuen challenge. We’re probably going to hear who Ken Ohka’s mystery opponent is going to be too.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTER 2025”, 23/03/2025
Osaka City Miyakojima Community Center

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku, HARASHIMA & Akito

The main event is a preview for Koroku’s KO-D Openweight Title match in April. Whether the champion is Chris Brookes or Masahiro Takanashi is nothing for him to worry about here because both of them will be on the other team.

It feels good to type up Kazusada Higuchi’s name in these updates again.

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii

The two partners challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Titles are going to fight each other first. The only thing Daiki Shimomura and Keisuke Ishii have in common is they’re both from Saitama. They’ll get to learn more about each other by having a match in the ring.

Yuko Miyamoto from 666, Kosuke Sato from Big Japan and Shota Kofuji from Osaka Style Wrestling will both be on the show.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs JJ Furno
2. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs To-y Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Ishida

DDT is putting together a competition at this month’s Beer Garden shows called Hanami KING OF DRUNK. It is to determine the No. 1 heavy drinker of springtime. There will be a 9-Man Rumble on the first show where the last three men standing will move on to the final.

For the first time ever there will be a Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match. We will quickly figure out why there was never one done before this.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X Vs X

The six wrestlers who don’t qualify for the KING OF DRUNK final will be put into a 6-Man Tag so they can all nurse their hangovers together.

There will be a Wrestlers Bring The Weapons Death Match on the undercard. However each wrestler in the match is given a 5,000 yen budget and they cannot spend past it for their weapon of choice.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

The masked dancer Kumadori is coming back to DDT this April. He made his pro wrestling debut during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” at the end of last year with the rest of O-MENZ by his side. Will they all be there with him again?

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii

Will Shimomura & Ishii become a well oiled tag team in time to challenge Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA for the belts? Ishii has never held the Iron Fist Tag Titles. FUMA has never directly beaten Ishii so that is why he is giving him this chance at winning the belts.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

The first match is made official for the Las Vegas Tokyo Joshi Pro show. Miu Watanabe is getting another big name foreign opponent by facing Masha Slamovich! I think this match being put together has blown open the possibilities for who will get the title matches on the same show. Whenever Slamovich is booked by TJPW she usually hovers around the champions but here she is getting Watanabe in a big first time matchup. That means Watanabe is also off the table for being in any of the title matches.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

Two new names are added to the lineup. Konosuke Takeshita will be there and so too will Shunma Katsumata. No mention yet if either will be on the next day’s “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show. Katsumata will likely be added but I doubt Takeshita will be there.

Sayuri Namba To Graduate From TJPW In June

March 4, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 FINAL”, 22/06/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

A press conference was held today where Sayuri Namba announced she will be graduating from her role as Tokyo Joshi Pro’s ring announcer later this summer. Her final show with the company will be the 22nd June event held in Ryogoku KFC Hall. She explained her reason for graduating is because last year she qualified for a working holiday visa and she would like to go live abroad. In fact she already has a location in mind: Vancouver, Canada. She chose that city because it is difficult to get an American visa at the moment and Vancouver is close by while also being an easy place to live in (according to people around her). She does not have any friends or know any employers who live over there so she is currently studying as a Japanese language teacher as a backup plan. Even though she is graduating from TJPW, she said she would still love to help them out whenever they go hold events overseas.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAYURI NAMBA’s DREAM COME TRUE SPECIAL”, 14/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Before she graduates on 22nd June, there will be a special show held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 14th June. She doesn’t know what to do for it yet because why would a wrestling show present the ring announcer as the main character? But she is certain there will be interesting things happening that you will not see anywhere else. She is talking to people so she can come up with ideas that she thinks are interesting rather than simply being good.

No decision has been made by any side yet over how the ring announcer will be replaced. Namba is currently hooked on audition shows so she would like to do one to find her successor. She doesn’t know how many applications that would get. She would like the next announcer to be somebody who loves entertainment because having fun and being creative are the most important things about the job. She has years worth of notes saved on her phone so she can pass them on.

5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Sekine submitted Abe with the Let’s Combine (17:57).
*Astronauts fail in V5. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA become the 13th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

With Sento Minzoku now in the rear view, Ryuiche Sekine has found new success for himself by joining forces with FUMA to win the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! The pair of wrestlers have bonded over both being farmers away from the wrestling ring as well as having similar backgrounds in karate. Fuminori Abe tried to break down Sekine with his submissions and limb work but found no help from his partner Takuya Nomura because FUMA had cut him off. FUMA took care of Nomura with an Exploder Suplex while Sekine wore down Abe with Low Roundhouse Kicks until he applied the Combine and Abe gave up.

Sekine thanked their opponents for the match and promised them he and FUMA will help grow the Iron Fist Tag Titles Astronauts had been nurturing so carefully. Sekine & FUMA then decided they will aim for 100 title defences together! Abe admitted defeat and compared Sekine’s Combine submission to Suwama’s Last Ride Power Bomb as the moves that hurt his back the worst. Nomura promised he will get stronger from tomorrow and will be back in BASARA soon.

Win, lose or draw Yuki Ishida was happy to wrestle Ryota Nakatsu in a match filled with the Harimao and Dosukoi spirit. The other members Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura were at the show too. Higuchi said he would like to wrestle in BASARA again after his return match in DDT happens. Nakatsu would like the whole unit to appear together in BASARA again.

Over the last few months Ayato Yoshida has been getting boos from fans over in 2AW. It carried over to BASARA today because the fans were booing him after every action he made in his match against Daiki Shimomura. Yoshida got the last laugh by winning the match with his Pump Kick finisher called the Revenge For Your Booing. He also called the fans drunks as he was leaving the ring.

Ayumu Honda also didn’t show good sportsmanship in his match with KUBITO. After Honda beat KUBITO with a Jumping Armbar, he held up KUBITO’s arm after the match only to jump him and attack the limb even more.

Moeka Haruhi celebrates the 20th Anniversary of her debut match this week and fought one of her PURE-J opponents Hanako Nakamori. Even though Haruhi lost the match, Nakamori spoke glowingly about her afterward. She heard Haruhi credited her for becoming a stronger wrestler but the truth is it’s quite the opposite. Nakamori promised she will continue to look up to Haruhi as a rival because that’s the kind of friend she wants to be. Haruhi thanked everyone for coming to the show when there are so many other options nearby for them to spend their time today. She also thanked the referee Tommy for doing so much to help her throughout her entire wrestling career. Haruhi will always do what she wants for herself but whenever she does something for someone else she will work 100 times harder. For that reason she wants to be the kind of person who makes everybody want to work hard together.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

The Union MAX Title reign is off to a good start for Masato Kamino but is he becoming to smug about it? He has really become proud of his muscular body as of late. However Ryota Nakatsu thinks that Kamino loves himself so much it’s starting to overshadow BASARA and the MAX Title.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

No need to worry about 121000000 being banned from Japan. They successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles in Chile and will have no trouble travelling home where Kyoraku Kyomei will be waiting for them.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~” Results

February 10, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~”, 10/02/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato after an Moroashigari Otoshi (10:22).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with La Bufadora (9:50).
3. SAGAT & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Nakatsu pinned Kawakami with the V Slider (10:40).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted Hiroshi with the Let’s Combine (14:06).
5. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Lariat (18:39).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.

Masato Kamino won the Aijin Tag battle against Takato Nakano to remain the Union MAX Champion. Nakano accepted defeat and will move to the back of the line. In the meantime he wants to see Kamino become even stronger to lead BASARA forward. They can also start teaming up again because it’s been a while since Aijin Tag last had a tag match together. Ryota Nakatsu then climbed into the ring. He praised Kamino for his victory but can also sense just how much Kamino loves himself. It’s enough to overshadow his love for BASARA and the MAX Title. Nakatsu however thinks his own love for BASARA and the MAX Title is clear to see so he wants the next title shot. Kamino accepted the challenge and the match will happen on 2nd March.

Today was the final match of Sento Minzoku as a unit. It was a 6-Man Tag match with the three active members all teaming together while Minoru Fujita was in their corner at ringside. After they beat Asian Kung Fu Revolution, all four members posed for the fans, laid their towels down on the canvas and all removed their monkey tails to place on top of the towels. Isami Kodaka then officially declared Sento Minzoku has disbanded. Backstage he said his desire to promote BASARA has not changed and he will continue to find ways to make it more exciting. Ryuichi Sekine said because he had reliable partners looking over him he was able to do whatever he wanted during his time in the unit. He will use that experience to step up in the future. Daiki Shimomura wonders if he would have been able to grow as he did if he never joined the unit and worn the tail. He thanked the others for teaching him so much. Fujita felt like he was able to become a part of BASARA thanks to Sento Minzoku. The unit disbanding does not mean he will be leaving BASARA. He’ll be back from his break eventually.
