BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano and Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with a Spinning Crucifix Pin (10:40).
2. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Super Earth Reverse Spin Slam (8:50).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Running Zudon (8:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when FUMA submitted Kawakami with an Arm Bar (10:58).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the V Slider (13:24).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The main event was a battle between the BASARA boss and the Ganbare☆Pro boss over the future of the Union MAX Title. The challenger Ken Ohka felt he deserved to take the championship as one of the few remaining Union Pro wrestlers still around. However Ryota Nakatsu withstood the Spear Of Flame and turned it into the V Slider to defend the championship. After the match Nakatsu confronted Ohka over a rumour that he already offered title match to somebody on 28th December if he ha become the champion today. Ohka admitted he did and the person he made the offer to was the one wrestler you think of above anyone else when it comes to Union Pro, Shuji Ishikawa!

28th December is the only date Ishikawa has available for the rest of the year so Ohka decided they could do the title match on that day’s BASARA show. Nakatsu thought about it and pointed out that Seiya Morohashi is also still active. Ohka then admitted he was going to give him a title shot on the 27th December BASARA show. Nakatsu decided he will give Morohashi a MAX Title shot on 11th December and the champion coming out of it will then defend the belt against Ishikawa on the 28th. He is aware that this plan can backfire and turn BASARA’s final show of the year into a Union Pro memorial!

Three days ago Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken went over to 2AW and lost to MJ2 in a failed attempt to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA. After his match today, Shimomura said he isn’t giving up chasing after the title and now wants Takumi Tsukamoto to help get the belts back. Tsukamoto made sure that Shimomura is motivated enough to do that before accepting to team up with him.

Takato Nakano threw out a challenge to Kosuke Sato for the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title. The two have known each other through the Hamaguchi Gym ever since Nakano moved to Tokyo when he was 18 years old. He thinks Sato is the wrestler most like himself and also the person he would like to wrestle the most.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~” Results

October 31, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami defeated Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when Ohka pinned Inoue with the Flame Spear (11:35).
2. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with the Hurricane Driver (9:13).
3. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Tomoya Hirata & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato & Daiki Shimomura when Hirata pinned Kazato with the Tower Hacker Bomb (9:24).
4. Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Masashi Takeda defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Tsukamoto pinned Sekine with the Zudon onto the Chairs (13:26).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Honda submitted Nakano with an Arm Bar (15:37).
*V2 for MJ2.
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (15:42).
*V4 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The big move Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi kept trying to use in the Union MAX Title bout was the Perfect Plex. It took him several attempts to pull it off against Ryota Nakatsu but when it finally hit it wasn’t enough to pin the champion. Nakatsu brought in a counter attack that took Hiroshi’s energy away. But rather than finish him immediately, Nakatsu gave Hiroshi one last chance to fight back. Hiroshi hit him with a Knuckle Punch but had nothing left to give so Nakatsu gave him the V Slider and pinned him for three. Nakatsu praised Hiroshi for his passion and leaving his feelings all out in the ring. When he started to talk about his next title defence, Ken Ohka entered the ring chanting the number “4642” over and over. Ohka told Nakatsu that number is how many days its been since he left Union Pro Wrestling back on 13th February, 2013! Not a day has gone by without Ohka remembering Union Pro and the only thing left around that represents it is the Union MAX Title. As a Union original that belt has Ohka’s name on it which means he deserves to have it! Nakatsu accepted his challenge for 18th November.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Titles remain with MJ2 after Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda defeated Aijin Tag. Mashimo and Masato Kamino took each other out so the finish came down to Honda against Takato Nakano. Honda countered a roll up into an Arm Bar and increased the pressure by clutching onto Nakano’s leg. Nakano wouldn’t give up but the referee had to stop the match in MJ2’s favour. After the match Kyu Mogami spoke on behalf of his stablemates and said the next Iron Fist Tag Titles defence will happen at a 2AW show in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 15th November. Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken ended up confronting MJ2 backstage later to challenge them at that show.

Gouma Ryu will be taking a break from wrestling for a few months to focus on other priorities in his career. Today was his last match in BASARA for the time being until he returns.

BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~”, 15/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA by Disqualification after a Weapon Attack (11:26).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato when Kamino pinned Kazato with the Lariat (11:01).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) defeated Isami Kodaka, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue when Hiroshi pinned Inoue with the Perfect Plex (8:57).
4. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Tomoki Hatano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami when SAGAT pinned Shimomura with a Spinning Bearhug Slam (12:34).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma when Nakano pinned Shuma with the Takagari (18:30).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament winners are Aijin Tag! They got past Shitamachi Rocket in the semi final, mostly because Daichi Kazato’s constant backfiring moves was too much for even Ryota Nakatsu to make up for. Their opponents in the final were the two delinquints from MJ2. They got past Hyakusho Ikki by tricking Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA into using weapons in front of the ref so they would get disqualified. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino were able to defeat Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma to win the final but they told the fans afterwards that is only half of MJ2 they have beaten. The other half Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda also happen to be the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions so Aijin Tag want to face them next with the belts on the line! Honda was in the corner for Mogami & Shuma during the show. He didn’t say anything but did shake hands with Nakano & Kamino to accept their challenge. The title match will happen on 31st October.

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

October 2, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Banana Senga and Ryuma Sekimo when SAGAT pinned Sekio with the Goregrind (8:58).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto when Sekine submitted Kodaka with the Let’s Combine (14:21).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Hiroshi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (11:47).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken when Mogami pinned Kraken after a Weapon Attack (10:47).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Takagari (15:59).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament begins and Aijin Tag are feeling unstoppable. Their opponents Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano both have a background in volleyball and used volleyball inspired moves. They even name their team the Death Volleyball Club. Although they lost to Aijin Tag today, Inoue & Hatano claim just need to beat them the next two times they meet in order to become the real winners in the end.

The MJ2 domination in BASARA slightly increases with one half currently holding the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles and the other half here advancing past the first round. Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma cheated to be Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken by attacking them with a chair. Neither of them thought the win was anything special and they felt like their opponents were missing for the entire match. They warn everyone that MJ2 is in BASARA to take it over!

Ryota Nakatsu got one back on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after getting pinned by him in Gunma last week. This time Nakatsu avoided the Spinebuster and used an Inverted Hurricanrana to get the three count on his upcoming Union MAX Title challenger. Daichi Kazato also thinks he and Nakatsu won because Gouma Ryu, the brains of WizRYU, wasn’t there to be with his team today. Shitamachi Rocket feel like they still need to improve as a team but if they have a score for today it is 95 out of 100.

The winners of the very first IRON FIST Tag Tournament decided to enter it again but couldn’t make it past the first round this time. Instead Ryuichi Sekine rolled up Isami Kodaka into a position for FUMA to kick him so Sekine could then apply the Let’s Combine to make Kodaka give up without Takumi Tsukamoto being able to stop it.

The IRON FIST Tag Tournament semi-finals on 15th October will be Shimatachi Rocket Vs Aijin Tag in the A Block and Hyakusho Ikki Vs MJ2 in the B Block. The final will take place on the same show.

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~” Results

September 17, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tomoki Hatano defeated Takeru Inoue with the Diving Guillotine Drop (9:40).
2. Takato Nakano defeated Gouma Ryu with a Brainbuster (8:16).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto and Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken when FUMA pinned Kraken with a Buzzsaw Kick (9:27).
4. Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Guts Ishijima defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino & Tsutomu Oosugi when Kazato pinned Kamino with a School Boy (12:21).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) defeated SAGAT & Minoru Fujita when Mashimo submitted SAGAT with the Mudo (18:55).
*V1 for MJ2.

While most of BASARA are preparing for the IRON FIST Tag Tournament starting next month, there was the matter of the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles to deal with today. The outsider team of Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda successfully defended the belts against the Super Family when SAGAT couldn’t free himself from Mashimo’s submission finisher. After the match Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi interpreted for Honda and called it an easy win. He also according to Hiroshi called everybody in BASARA wimps because there are no other immediate challengers for MJ2 to fight.

Gouma Ryu was feeling motivated to fight as if he was the main character today so he ordered the rest of WizRYU away so he could fight Takato Nakano on his own. He then bribed the ref with 10,000 yen to get calls and pin counts in his favour. At one point Nakano sent Ryu to sleep with a Sleeper Hold so the referee forced him to let it go. However despite the favortism, Nakano was able to beat Ryu clean.

Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats Goes Overseas, Team 100% Yuki, TOGO FAMILY

September 5, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 6 ~DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT SEPTEMBER~”, 06/09/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Six Major Single Match I: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Six Major Single Match II: Ilusion Vs Rukiya
3. Six Major Single Match III: Ryoma Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Sato
4. Six Major Single Match IV: Hideki Okatani Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. Six Major Single Match V: To-y Vs Takeshi Masada
6. Six Major Single Match VI: Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida

A very busy weekend of shows ahead. Let’s start off with the match order for the D GENERATIONS show that will kick everything off.

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Iino (Red), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuya Koroku (Green).

DDT “YOKOHAMA BAY☆CLUTCH”, 06/09/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, HARASHIMA & Yuki Ishida Vs Shigehiro Irie, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi
3. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs KANON, KANON & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Shinya Aoki Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The card has been changed around a bit because Akito has aggravated an old injury of his and will not be at the show tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will come in to take his place.

A big task awaits for Takeshi Masada. It’s bad enough he pissed off Minoru Suzuki when he challenged him for the DDT Universal Title but before that match happens he also has to deal with Shinya Aoki in the meantime.

Yuki Iino will be hold an emergency press conference at the show tomorrow. I don’t expect the news to be drastic like him leaving the company anytime soon just because he’s already in the middle of a storyline and holds a few prizes that DDT would need take off of him if he was to leave for somewhere else. Maybe he just wants to announce when he is cashing in his title shot.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU ~EXTRA TIME~”, 12/09/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Akito, Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs To-y, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Takeshi Masada
4. Our LariPro ’25: HARASHIMA, Keisuke Ishii & MAO Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. Enter Sandman Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
6. Yukio Naya 8th Anniversary ~ Special Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Iino & Jun Akiyama

The addition of KANON to the Enter Sandman Match also means KIMIHIRO will be getting involved too. If there was ever a time for someone to try rapping over Metallica, this would be it.

Another match where Masada has to fight Aoki. That better sharpen him up for Suzuki pretty good.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I WANT TO SAVE EVERYONE WITH A SMILE ~ ARISU’S AIZUWAKAMATSU GRAND MARCH”, 13/09/2025
Fukushima Aizuwakamatsu City Tsurugajo Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Akabe) Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu (w/ Kappa Green)
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
3. Hyper Misao Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Miu Watanabe & Toga Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Mifu Ashida
6. Aja Kong, Suzume & Shino Suzuki Vs Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Kira Summer
7. Arisu Endo & Yuki Arai Vs Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro

On the same day this show happens, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will be wrestling each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title over in America. When MLW made the decision to book that match, Tokyo Joshi Pro came up with an idea to have the other halves Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats face each other back in Japan. That means Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara are going to clash one on one in an international buildup for the Princess Tag Team Titles!

One of the novelties that happen when TJPW come to Arisu Endo’s hometown is the local mascots get involved in the show. Akabe and Kappa Green have both featured on these shows in the past but never at the same time. Until next weekend that is.

DDT “SUMIRE SEPTEMBER LOVE 2025”, 14/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. MJ Paul Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryuto Vs Tomoya, Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Noriyuki Yoshida & Daichi Sato
4. Special 3 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 1!: Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Hideki Okatani
7. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Ilusion

The Sapporo Specialty Trial has become more important now that Kazuki Hirata is the KO-D Openweight Champion. It looks like Akito will be in good shape by the time these two matches take place.

DDT “SUMIRE MELTY LOVE 2025”, 15/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Danshoku Dieno, Ryuto & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: To-y, Tomoya & Noriyuki Yoshida Vs Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
3. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 2!: Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON Vs HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

TJPW isn’t the only place to have a trio of Yuki’s teaming together. DDT can do that too. Behold… Team 100% Yuki!

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
2. Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Guts Ishijima Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino & Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Takeru Inoue Vs Tomoki Hatano
4. Takato Nakano Vs Gouma Ryu
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Preparations for the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Tournament are in full gear at the next BASARA show. Takeru Inoue and Tomoki Hatano will be teaming up for the tournament but they will wrestle each other here first. Several other teams will be in action too.

At the last show Masato Kamino teamed up with WizRYU under a mask as Body Slam Machine. Now Gouma Ryu had nothing to do with that but the new unit is named after him so he better be careful if Takato Nakano thinks he is taking away his Aijin Tag partner.

Daichi Kazato gets his wish to team up with Guts Ishijima. His tournament partner Ryota Nakatsu is on the team too so at least there is someone normal there for Ishijima to get along with.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT: Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA & Akito
2. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

At the moment it’s unclear is Daisuke Sasaki’s rib injury will force him out of his own show. But at least on the undercard we get Dick Togo summoning several of his proteges together for a big tag match against DDT’s all stars. Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego all have Togo to thank for various part of their wrestling careers.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

DDT promised this week that a special guest will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and they revealed it to be Tetsuya Endo. He’ll be returning to DDT for one night only before going back to finish his year long excursion at NOAH.

IRON FIST Tag Tournament 2025

September 2, 2025

BASARA’s tag team tournament hasn’t really followed a solid schedule for the last while. When the promotion had its management change one of the early ideas they came up with was to hold another tag tournament this October. It’s only just recently that they revealed it is the next edition of the IRON FIST Tag Tournament. To mark the occasion of the tournament’s return after missing last year, the very first winners of the competition are among the participants. There are also wrestlers from 2AW and HEAT-UP taking part this year. The eight teams entering the tournament are:

Hyakusho Ikki (Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA)
Aijin Tag (Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino)
Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto
Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato
WizRYU (Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi)
Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~” Results

August 3, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami defeated Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue when Kawakami submitted Inoue with the Yurikamome (10:56).
2. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura defeated Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA when Shimomura pinned HIROYA with the Swanton Bomb (11:03).
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Daichi Kazato, Yasu Urano & Ayato Yoshida defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga and SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Antonio Honda when Kazato pinned Hiroshi with the OPA! (12:42).
4. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Desperado pinned Nakano with the Pinche Loco (14:54).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) when Honda submitted FUMA with the Jumping Armbar (14:56).
*Hyakusho Ikki fails in V3. MJ2 become the 14th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the V Slider (23:26).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

It has been just under one year since BASARA last held a show at Korakuen Hall. Now under new management, today’s show is the next chapter for the company. Even though they did not announce an attendance number, the word going around from them and wrestling reporters is this was the biggest crowd they have ever had! The new president Ryota Nakatsu credited everyone involved with the show from those signed with the company to those who wrestle freelance for all of the hard work they did to promote it. The next goal Nakatsu has in mind is to sell enough tickets to open up the north side of Korakuen and then fill that up too. He also promised to openly talk about the positives and negatives happening in BASARA because there is no point in a company like this trying to look cool.

In the main event Nakatsu defeated the new sales manager Takumi Tsukamoto in his first defence of the Union MAX Title. Nakatsu said it felt amazing for both of them to be BASARA’s main focus today. Tsukamoto agreed and is a litle worried he may have lost his mind during the match because it felt so good. Nakatsu then promoted the next show on 20th August until he was interrupted by Daichi Kazato and Ayato Yoshida. Kazato climbed the turnbuckle and held onto a large rubber strap. Yoshida then pulled the strap back and snapped it back into Kazato’s face. Nakatsu was confused until Kazato explained that is his way of challenging him for the MAX Title.

Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA named themselves Hyakusho Ikki because they wanted to defend the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles a hundred times. They couldn’t even make it to three. Instead Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda are the new champions after Honda made FUMA submit to the Jumping Armbar. FUMA later told Sekine that they were sent back down to rock bottom but that just means it’s time to start preparing for the next harvest. The challengers brought along Naka Shuma and Kyu Mogami to be their cornermen because all four of them are part of a unit in 2AW called MJ2. But when Mashimo & Honda won the titles Honda (through Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi) told Shuma & Mogami that they weren’t needed anymore! Backstage Shuma & Mogami said it’s boring to just be cornermen so they decided maybe they will come liven up BASARA too!

The first appearance of El Desperado in BASARA had a little extra backstory to it involving one of his opponents. Masato Kamino took the New Japan entrance exam back in October 2012 where he gave up on the test halfway through. But he remembers the sight of Kyosuke Mikami watching him in the crowd that day. They were opponents today with Desperado teaming up with Isami Kodaka while Kamino was part of the Aijin Tag with Takato Nakano. Desperado ended up winning when he gave Nakano the Reverse Tiger Driver followed by the Pinche Loco. Desperado praised his opponents and would like for more fans to discover them. He thinks Aijin Tag would even win over NJPW fans if they were to ever wrestle over there. Kodaka said he would love to team with Desperado again because it would be a shame for them to stop after just one match. Nakano said it was a dream come true to fight a New Japan champion because his mother loves NJPW. His next dream is to beat El Desperado! Kamino called this match a milestone in his life and he will be starting again from here. Aijin Tag are now thinking about entering a Jr. Tag tournament to make a new impact.

The Korakuen Hall preview was a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match featuring the participants of both the Union MAX Title and Iron Fist Tag Team Title bouts. Ryuichi Sekine attacked Kengo Mashimo from the get go with FUMA and Ayumu Honda joining in the brawl. Meanwhile Takumi Tsukamoto did his best to block Ryota Nakatsu’s big moves and used an Ouchi-gari throw from Judo to pin him. In the second fall Honda was cut off by FUMA from giving Sekine an Arm Lock. That allowed Sekine to put him in the Let’s Combine to win this round by submission. In the final fall Tsukamoto aimed to beat Nakatsu again but Nakatsu caught him in a Back Roll Clutch instead to get the victory. The two got along after the match and agreed that they cannot wait until 3rd August. Honda also spoke out loud for the first time on a BASARA show but simply said he and Mashimo will take the Iron Fist Tag Titles from Hyakusho Ikki. Nakatsu called for all of the wrestlers to get into the ring for the end of the show and said it would be a big loss for the planet if fun things like BASARA disappeared. So they’re going to make the Korakuen Hall show a great one!

Isami Kodaka said it’s been a while since his last singles match with Takato Nakano but he could see how much he has grown since then. Kodaka is confident that if Nakano was at his mercy today then he isn’t worried that Aijin Tag can beat him and El Desperado at Korakuen. Nakano said whether his team wins or loses, the biggest thing in pro wrestling is presence. Masato Kamino pointed out that he and Nakano will always be together while Kodaka & Desperado do not have that kind of loyalty to each other. He is confident their strength together will win out at the end.
