The campsite match being rescheduled has resulted in two replacements. Yukio Sakaguchi and Shuichiro Katsumura are both no longer able to take part due to other commitments on the new date. Makoto Oishi takes Sakaguchi’s place in one of the DDT teams. Yumehito Imanari takes Katsumura’s place in the Ganbare☆Wrestling team.

There are a few changes to the undercard matches thanks to Nobuhiro Shimatani wanting to challenge BASARA wrestlers, Isami Kodaka in particular. He wants a match with Kodaka after Kodaka pinned him last week. For now he has to do with Takato Nakano in the pre-show match. Hiroshi Yamato takes Shimatani’s place in the 4 Way Tag, continuing Yamato’s unusual association with DAMNATION. Not quite a friend but not quite an enemy either.

A few injuries during the week alters tomorrow’s card. The light one is Sanshiro Takagi. He injured his right eye and is missing this show. He will be getting it further examined next week but hopes to be clear for Masahiro Takanashi’s show on the 15th. Gorgeous Matsuno took it upon himself to replace Takagi in Match #2.

The bad injury happened to Kazusada Higuchi during yesterday’s “UNIVERSE.1” show. He tore his right PCL and has no timetable for a return. He does not need surgery and will be aiming to recover as soon as possible. Ryota Nakatsu takes Higuchi’s place in Match #3.

Sadly this means Higuchi will be missing the campsite match as well. Yukio Sakaguchi replaces him here. Also SAGAT is sick with the flu so he is being substituted with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi.

Takato Nakano approached Sento Minzoku asking for a UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. He gathered together Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano to be his partners.

Hopefully SAGAT will be well again in time for his Last Man Standing match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~TEMPLE OF THE SUN~”, 15/09/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma Vs Himawari Unagi Vs Pom Harajuku
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI Vs Raku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Mirai Maiumi
5. Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa
6. Natsumi Maki, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Yuna Manase, Maki Itoh & Mina Shirakawa
7. Sakisama Vs Yuki Kamifuku
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Misao

With the new 2nd Gen belt over her shoulder, Shoko Nakajima is now even more motivated to defend the Princess Title. Her next challenger is the wrestler who has by far progressed the most among the roster this year, Misao. Ever since Misao shed her superhero persona and joined NEO Biishiki-gun she has gone from strength to strength.

I wonder if Sakisama holds a grudge with Yuki Kamifuku over her attempt to join NEO Biishiki-gun last year? Kamifuku joined the unit as an apprentice last May then quit after two weeks when she figured out it was a bad fit for her.

Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa is a match to watch out for. The two members of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) have developed so much in the ring this year and part of the reason why is they branched out to other tag teams outside of their unit (Momoiro Sparkling for Watanabe and Pandemic Boo-Boo for Noa). Gotta be honest here, I think Raku is in danger of never catching up to them.

6. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito
7. Kurashiki Specialty Beauty Area Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo continue their feud. The danger here is they could do so much damage to each other that there won’t be much left for Jiro Kuroshio to deal with at the end of the month.

No word yet on who will replace Higuchi in the Marunage match.

Gota Ihashi gets his Oretachi Pro Wrestling buddies into the opener.

6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki Vs Dalys & Nodoka Tenma
7. International Princess Title: Natsumi Maki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

Natsumi Maki and Yuna Manase kind of have a sisterly relationship going back to their early years in Actwres girl’Z (am I allowed to mention that place?). Manase pinned Maki in Maki’s first match since becoming the International Princess Champion so obviously Manase gets the first shot.

CMLL luchadora Dalys makes her Tokyo Joshi debut. The 10 year veteran from Panama is being thrown right into the top card mix.

I guess Higuchi is missing the heavyweight 3 Way too.

To really make this an Ultimate Party, Konosuke Takeshita wants to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against the DDT Extreme Champion in a double title match! Right now the Extreme Champ in Jiro Kuroshio. All he has to do is get past HARASHIMA and Endo in the 3 Way Match. Easier said than done.

A few relationship situations to look out for on this show. Has The Iron Family truly put their differences aside now that FUMA is on Team Dove Pro? How will Daichi Kazato gel with Best Stretchman Amazon now that he is only partially possessed by Best Stretchman V3? Last, the opener is between Takato Nakano and Masato Kamino who regularly team together.

5. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine, Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Naoki Tanizaki, “brother” YASSHI & Kohei Kinoshita when Kodaka pinned Tanizaki with the Isamiashi Zan (17:01).
*V1 for Sento Minzoku.

Today’s Shinjuku FACE doubleheader began with BASARA’s turn in the Beer Garden. Dove Pro came in with the goal of winning the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles from Sento Minzoku. The main event was even done “DOVE Style” by playing music while everyone fought. “brother” YASSHI did his best to annoy everyone while Kohei Kinoshita co-operated well with his partners. They were kept busy with Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura but the match went down to Isami Kodaka and Naoki Tanizaki. Kodaka survived the Implant Bomb and hit the Isamiashi Zan for his team’s first successful title defence.

 

Kodaka said today’s matches were a little confusing because there were BASARA wrestlers in Dove Pro teams. Tanizaki told him that Dove Pro defeated BASARA today three matches to two. Kodaka disagreed because BASARA won the main event title match. They’ll continue this feud in Osaka on 12th August.

Ryota Nakatsu got new theme music for his match with Kenshin Chikano. His right arm was targeted but plenty of kicks and the V Slider got him a big win in the BASRA Vs Dove Pro rivalry.

Changes were made to a few matches at the start of the show when it was revealed that FUMA was jumping ship to Dove Pro! He made the decision because Dove Pro’s ending song is more heavy metal than BASARA’s ending song. Kodaka decided to add FUMA and SAGAT to opposite teams in the Hardcore Tag Match. The Dove Pro team won when Gunso threw a chair in SAGAT’s face. Yusuke Kubo pushed FUMA away after the match but they reconciled with the heavy metal hand sign. At the end of the show Kodaka told FUMA that BASARA is not ashamed of heavy metal. They will hold another “FUMA FEST” this year so they hope he will be return to BASARA for that.

Rey Paloma used a Sleeper Hold to render Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi unconscious. However Hiroshi’s yoga ability made him reach enlightenment in this situation so he was able to fight back. Paloma powered up in his own way by pulling down his wrestling tights to his ankles and wrestling the rest of the match in a red thong. The tights also prevented Hiroshi from doing the Scorpion Deathlock because they would his own legs would get tangled in them. That allowed Paloma to use steal the win with a Backslide Pin.

The 8 Way Drunkers match was changed to a 6 Way with the removal of FUMA and SAGAT. The rules were a wrestler had to drink a shot of tequila after every kickout or rope break. Shoichi Uchida stood around dressed like a bartender providing the drinks. Everybody got drunk. Uchida ended up shoving the bottle of tequila into Takato Nakano’s mouth and Kabuki Kid took advantage to get the pin.

6. Sento Minzoku Vs Dove Pro Wrestling!: Ryuichi Sekine, Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Gunso, Kabuki Kid & Mataro Aoki by Referee Stoppage when Sekine used the Let’s Combine on Kid (13:53).

The referee stopped the main event and awarded the match to Sento Minzoku when Kabuki Kid was unresponsive in Ryuichi Sekine’s Combine submission hold. The Dove Pro team complained about the result and started a brawl with the BASARA wrestlers. Isami Kodaka told the Dove wrestlers that their battles will continue in Shinjuku and Osaka next month. Gunso called the referee biased while Naoki Tanizaki promised to take the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles from Isami Kodaka and his buddies. Kodaka said this feud is not about Tokyo Vs Osaka but he would protect Shinjuku from Tanizaki.

What sparked the bad tensions took place in the previous match. Tanizaki used Kodaka’s finisher the Isamiashi Zan on Takato Nakano to win the match. He and Ryota Nakatsu got in each other’s faces afterwards and begun fighting until they were pulled apart.

Fuminori Abe and Jun Masaoka fought to a twenty minute draw. Abe offered a handshake when the match was over but Masaoka stuck up a middle finger instead.

6. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Final: Isami Kodaka defeated Minoru Fujita with the Isamiashi Zan (18:59).

The all Sento Minzoku final in the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ was won by Isami Kodaka! In the semi-finals both Kodaka and Minoru Fujita won their matches with the Samson Clutch so the move was expected to show up here. Kodaka used it first but Fujita was able to kick out of it. The same result happened when Fujita used the same move. Fujita went for the Fire Spear but Kodaka cut it off with a Knee Strike and won the match with the Isamiashi Zan. Kodaka called Fujita his master thanked him from the bottom of his heart. And since the 500,000 yen prize originally belonged to Kodaka anyway, he decided to give the money over to Fujita so he can put together his own BASARA show on 24th July. Fujita accepted the money but admitted there isn’t much time for him to prepare his plans. The show ended with all of Sento Minzoku standing together wishing everyone “PEACE & Fxxk!”

Ryuji Ito’s visit to BASARA had him and Ryuichi Sekine facing FUMA & Yusuke Kubo in a Hardcore match. Chairs, steel cans and a ladder were used by both teams to pummel each other. Ito hit FUMA with a chair so hard across the back that the chair’s frame bent. FUMA & Kubo gave Sekine the Crucifixion Of Death onto the ladder. Sekine Superplexed FUMA onto the steel cans. He finally put FUMA away by blocking a chair attack and applying the Combine to make FUMA give up.

The transformation of Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi into Perfect Best Stretchman V3 meant that Daichi Kazato had to fight his own creation. Kazato used his stretching submission moves but found out that Stretchman was able to withstand them. Stretchman took out a spare Best Stretchman hood and forced it onto Kazato’s head. However Kazato’s will was too strong and he was able to rip it off. He went to hit an Axe Bomber when Stretchman suddenly removed his own hood, turning himself back into Hiroshi. He told Kazato he was now free from the Stretchman’s power but it was a trap! When Kazato dropped his guard, Hiroshi put the hood back on and struck Kazato with a Trigger Point strike. He went for the Stretch Bomber but Kazato countered it with the Rider Kick. He unmasked Stretchman again and hit the Explosive Axe Bomber for the three count.

Kazato said he finally surpassed Best Stretchman V3 but he could still hear V3’s voice in the hood. He leaned in to listen closer and the hood one again found its way onto Kazato’s head! V3 said he can die many times but will always return. But there is nothing to fear. It turns out Kazato has passed V3’s challenge! His reward is the ability to use the power of Best Stretchman without the need to wear the hood. Kazato tested it out by stretching the referee to great effect. Excited with his newly gained powers, Kazato chose the next person he must surpass. Hiro Tsumaki, aka FUMA!

The 3 Way Tag was used by Ryota Nakatsu to prepare for the annual BASARA Vs Dove Pro summer series. The team of Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino did well together despite their lack of experience compared to everyone else. But in the end Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider.

It will take more than a Rabbit Punch to take out Banana Senga. He still had the wherewithal to block Fuminori Abe and set up Tsutomu Oosugi to Cradle him. Speed Of Sounds also did a good job keeping Ikuto Hidaka at bay.

SAGAT was able to counter the Orange Sunset into a short range Goregrind to beat Daiki Shimomura. With this result SAGAT avenged the pin he took from Shimomura at last month’s tag match.

3. Sento Minzoku Vs Sakigake!! Iron Family: Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura defeated SAGAT & Yusuke Kubo when Shimomura pinned SAGAT with the Orange Sunset (10:23).
4. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takato Nakano with a Cross Armbreaker (11:45).
5. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Round 2: Isami Kodaka defeated Tsutomu Oosugi (w/ Banana Senga) with a Modified Forward Roll (20:15).

The Heaven Summit semi-finals are now official. Isami Kodaka and Ryota Nakatsu join Minoru Fujita and SAGAT in the final four. After Kodaka defeated Tsutomu Oosuji, he said BASARA has given him many good rivals but he cannot afford to give away the 500,000 yen tournament prize to anyone else but himself! He also told everyone the new catchphrase he came up with when he was at Game Changer Wrestling earlier this month: “Peace & Fuck!”

Nakatsu was able to counter Takato Nakano’s La Magistral Cradle into a Cross Armbreaker to make him tap. He didn’t take Nakano lightly because Nakano was able to beat Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a flash pin in the 1st Round. However Nakatsu believes he trains too much for Nakano to ever catch up with him. Now Nakatsu gets to wrestle Kodaka in a singles match for the first time in three months.

If SAGAT thought he was upper tier now with his tournament run then Daiki Shimomura sent him crashing back down to Earth. A surprise Sunset Orange pinned SAGAT for the big tag match upset. FUMA is trying to keep SAGAT motivated by saying he has the prestige of the Iron Family inside him but SAGAT can’t help but feel angry over the result.

The mysterious power of the Best Stretchman hood was shown again in Match #2 when it was passed from wrestler to wrestler, briefly turning them into Best Stretchman V3. FUMA ended up with the hood and he used the Best Stretch Bomber to pin V3/Daichi Kazato. Afterwards FUMA as V3 yelled that everyone was still weak. He ordered everyone to do 666 stretches until Stretchman Man pulled the hood off him.
