A Sento Minzoku team has won this year’s IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT! The team of Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura will now challenge Speed Of Sounds for the IRON FIST TAG Titles at Korakuen Hall on 20th January.

Takumi Tsukamoto chose his opponent for the main event of BASARA’s 5th Anniversary show. He narrowed it down to FUMA and Daichi Kazato because he faced against both of them in the main event tag of the very first BASARA show. In the end, Tsukamoto chose FUMA and their match will have the Union MAX Title on the line.

The Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a draw when Hiroshi began to sing “Silent Night”. Fujita joined in and they left the ring together in harmony while the match was still going on. The referee called off the match because the wrestlers had no reason to fight each other.

Sanshiro Takagi doesn’t think Yukio Naya’s impression of him on the Muscle shows is accurate enough. This match might backfire because Naya, Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine will have enough material combined to make fun of Takagi until the cows come home.

Over on the Sento Minzoku team, Daiki Shimomura has become determined to beat Nakatsu in the final. Since everyone is targeting somebody, Kodaka said he wants to beat SAGAT.


BASARA “BASARA 140 ~THE 7TH FOX PRINCE~” Results

November 15, 2020

BASARA “BASARA 140 ~THE 7TH FOX PRINCE~”, 14/11/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Yusuke Kubo defeated Masato Kamino with a Modified Gedo Clutch (11:06).
2. Asian Kung-Fu Generation Presents A Tragedy Of 4,000 Years In China! Phantom Curse Township 4 Way Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated FUMA, Daiki Shimomura and Takato Nakano when Hiroshi pinned Shimomura with a School Boy (10:10).

The second IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-final will be Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT. After the main event, Nakatsu called it the de facto final because Sparky beat the new Union MAX Champion in Takumi Tsukamoto and a respected veteran in Yasu Urano.

The rules for the 4 Way Match were created by Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. He was inspired by the Jusenkyo springs from Ranma 1/2 where stepping into the water will transform people into something else, like a cat for example. Sprinkling water onto them would turn them back to normal. So in this match wrestlers began acting like cats whenever they were thrown out of the ring.


IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT 2020

November 4, 2020

The 4th edition of the IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT will take place throughout the remaining months of the year. Last year’s tournament crowned the first IRON FIST TAG Champions.

Ueno Gets UNIVERSAL Title Shot, Akito Challenges Dieno, Akai & Manase Coming To Wrestle Princess

5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato

So DAMNATION seems to be split into two right now. There is the #DAMNHEARTS side led by Tetsuya Endo and there is the Daisuke Sasaki side that has Hiroshi Yamato as the only other member. What would Puma King think of this?

Shinya Aoki comes to ALL OUT’s aid in their fight against Junretsu.

BASARA “BASARA 137 ~GLITTER~”, 27/10/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. Gouma Ryu Vs Minoru Fujita
3. Fuminori Abe, Yasu Urano & Leo Isaka Vs Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura

6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

Yesterday, SAGAT lost for the first time as a Sparky member when his former ally Yusuke Kubo pinned him. The chance to avenge that loss comes later this month.

BASARA “BASARA 138 ~THE 6TH FOX PRINCE~”, 31/10/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. SAGAT Vs Takato Nakano
3. 4 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Takumo Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino Vs Yasu Urano
4. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

One less match than usual because all of Sento Minzoku is facing The Iron Family (plus Daichi Kazato). Also Gouma Ryu will be absent from the show so no trial shenanigans either.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against one half of Nautilus so now he takes on the other half. Yuki Ueno took offence to Brookes calling Naomi Yoshimura weak after beating him. Ueno then took more offence when Brookes suggested he is weaker than Yoshimura. He wants to shut Brookes up and take his title. Might even end up becoming a triple crown champion along with the two tag titles when all is said and done

The motivation levels for Akito and Danshoku Dieno seem to be going in opposite directions this year. Akito’s has been rising to the point where he became a Vice President of CyberFight. Dieno is still able to come up with ideas but has he passed his creative peak? A match between the two will provide a barometer for where both will stand in DDT.

The participants for the 2021 D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed on this show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
5. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

The first two semi-finalists in the International Princess Title tournament are Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi.

Saki Akai only wrestles in Tokyo Joshi Pro once or twice a year because DDT is her priority. For her 2020 appearance she will face Hyper Misao in a first time singles meeting. They were on opposite sides of a tag match once in 2015 but I think that may have been retconned into Akai getting replaced by Sakisama for some reason. Oh and there was also the storyline with that Saki Akamiya girl. Whatever happened to her? But enough about that.

Yuna Manase will be on the show. This will be her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi since leaving the promotion back in July. Look at her getting to wrestle everywhere!

*V6 for Speed Of Sounds.
7. Union MAX Title: Fuminori Abe (c) defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Arm Clutch Manjigatame (14:15).
*V3 for Fuminori Abe.

At the end of the main event, Fuminori Abe thanked Ryota Nakatsu for being a strong rival. Suddenly, Brahman Kei appeared and distracted Abe long enough for Brahman Shu to sneak up and throw powder in his face. The Brahman Brothers then attacked Abe with a Stop sign. They did this because they want to take the Union MAX Title at the next Shin-Kiba 1st RING show on 29th September. Kei will be the one wrestling because Shu is worried he will get sick before the show again. Abe accepted the challenge but was warned by Kei that if he dies, he will fall into hell and be reborn as a maggot! Abe is not part of any unit in BASARA so he asked for Takuya Nomura to help him prepare. As a monk, Abe won’t be reincarnated into a maggot. When he dies he will go to paradise.

Nomura was given the middle finger by Isami Kodaka after their draw.

SAGAT is confirmed to be the newest member of Sparky. He has a new look to fit in with the unit including a yellow Big Van Vader style mask worn for his entrance.

BASARA’s 5th Anniversary show will be held in Korakuen Hall on 20th January.

Kouki Iwasaki has injured his left thigh and cannot wrestle on tomorrow’s show. Shota will now be doing double duty wrestling in matches against Minoru Fujita and then Ikuto Hidaka. However the Hidaka match will be a singles match held under tag team rules. Both wrestlers will select a wrestler to stand in their corner and tag in when needed. If they get pinned then the match continues until Shota or Hidaka are pinned. Long story short, it’s a Captain’s Fall Tag Match.

Tokyo Shinagawa The Grand Hall

In sudden news, Natsumi Maki and Mina Shirakawa will be finishing up with Tokyo Joshi Pro at the end of the month. That means this show will be their final matches with the promotion. Both of their contracts are expiring on 30th September but TJPW made the decision not to re-sign them. Both of them have thanked the fans for supporting them and would be grateful if they continue to do so wherever their wrestling careers take them. Maki said her year and 8 months in TJPW were very important and gave her big steps to climb. Shirakawa said she will continue to devote herself every day to grow as a wrestler.

*V5 for Speed Of Sounds.

There was a big upset in Match #3 when Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated FUMA & SAGAT. The finish saw Kamino score the pin on FUMA, without a doubt the biggest in his career. This happened because FUMA hit SAGAT by mistake and SAGAT hit him with a Spear in response. This left FUMA open for Kamino to Lariat him for the victory. Afterwards trouble brewed when FUMA and SAGAT got into a fight. The Iron Family came out to break them up. FUMA left with the rest of the Iron Family but SAGAT stayed in the ring on his own. Sparky members Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa then came out and shook hands with SAGAT. They all left the ring together.
