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

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.

BASARA “BASARA 284 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 23, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 284 ~UTAGE~”, 23/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Lil’ Kraken defeated Takeru Inoue with a Northern Lights Suplex (10:12).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Gouma Ryu & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano and Daiki Shimomura & Masato Kamino when Ryu pinned Kazato with La Magistral Cradle (9:25).
3. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga by Disqualification when Gouma Ryu and Tsutomu Oosugi both interfered (10:45).
4. Isami Kodaka defeated Takato Nakano with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (12:44).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ryota Nakatsu (2) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (1) (26:43).
5a. Takumi Tsukamoto pinned Nakatsu with an Ouchi-gari (15:53).
5b. Ryuichi Sekine submitted Ayumu Honda with the Let’s Combine (21:57).
5c. Ryota Nakatsu pinned Takumi Tsukamoto with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (26:43).

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.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 8, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Takeru Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (8:59).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu when Oosugi pinned Ryu after a Double Brainbuster (7:52).
3. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura when SAGAT pinned Kazato with the Gore Grind (10:56).
4. Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe defeated Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda when Kraken pinned Sekine with the Period. (13:41).
5. Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano when Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider (14:13).

During the main event Takumi Tsukamoto taunted Ryota Nakatsu in a bid to provoke the Union MAX Champion. But his attempt to hive him the Zudon was stopped by Isami Kodaka and Nakatsu went on to beat Takato Nakano with the V Slider. After the match Nakatsu told Takeru Inoue to hand him over an envelope because inside it was the name of his next MAX Title challenger. He then crumpled up the envelope and decided Tsukamoto will face him for the title at Korakuen Hall on 3rd August! The two of them are now the highest ranked management in BASARA so Nakatsu thinks the promotion’s biggest match of the year should be between those two. Tsukamoto said he will do his best to win the title and write BASARA’s next page.

It turns out Ayumu Honda really didn’t want to join forces with Hyakusho Ikki. He betrayed Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA and helped Lil’ Kraken with the match for the other team. Honda whispered into Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s ear after the match and had him interpret his message. Hiroshi told Hyakusho Ikki that Honda would never join a lame team like them. He only went near them because he wants the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. He already has a partner ready and he’s at the show today. Suddenly out walked Kengo Mashimo and he started fighting Hyakusho Ikki with Honda that made its way to the back! Later when things calmed down FUMA said Honda had made fun of farmers. Sekine warns that when you make fun of farmers you will see hell! They’re going to fight Honda & Mashimo fair and square with the Iron Fist Tag Titles on the line.

After Match #3 several wrestlers all got in the ring trying to figure out what match they should have on 3rd August. Daichi Kazato completely lost track of who he wanted to team with so Gouma Ryu suggested they do a 3 Way Trios Match. Ryu himself isn’t going to wrestle. Instead he wants to be in the corner of Speed Of Sounds & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Kazato decided he will team with Yasu Urano and a third person. Both Minoru Fujita & SAGAT agreed to team with each other and go find another partner. Later in the day Hiroshi, Ryu & SOS all decided to form a new unit called with-kai.

The young trio of Daichi Sato, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi will be getting some tough matches at the Beer Garden this time around. Kazusada Higuchi is the common opponent on both teams facing them.

Where in the hell did Keisuke Ishii dig up Leatherface from?!? This match has a bit of W*ING flavour to it because we have a horror movie monster fighting a tag team of martial artists. Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada better use their preparation time getting to know the best way to disarm a chainsaw wielding maniac.

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

June 25, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Shota Kofuji with the Lariat (11:12).
2. Isami Kodaka & Shiori Asahi Vs Yasu Urano & Hagane Shinno ended in a Draw when Asahi and Urano pinned each other (11:58).
3. Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi defeated Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano when Toba pinned Nakano with the Back Blow (11:16).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takeru Inoue with a Wrist Lock (12:32).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA submitted Kraken with an Armbar (14:39).
*V2 for Hyakusho Ikki.

The new bond between the Super Family is not as strong as the farmer’s bond that Hyakusho Ikki have. Lil’ Kraken missed a Frog Splash, giving FUMA the opening to submit him with an Armbar. He called Kraken & Akira Jo tough opponents after the match but he and Ryuichi Sekine are hard workers from the countryside. They spent the morning preparing for this Iron Fist Tag Team Titles by feeding chickens and cleaning out their coops before travelling to the venue. FUMA doesn’t understand why young people today think working hard is uncool but he and Sekine are going to cherish today’s successful title defence. They now have two wins with 98 to go until they reach their goal of 100 title defences.

Takeru Inoue lost to Ryota Nakatsu in his return match from injury. He shook Nakatsu’s hand afterwards and Nakatsu twisted Inoue’s healed arm as a joke. He said he only did it to show Inoue survived having his injured limb targeted. Inoue said the pain he felt in the match was something he hadn’t felt in a long time but he is happy to wrestle again. Nakatsu is still decided who the next Union MAX Title challenger should be. He said he got a few challenges from other promotions after he won the Chouten ~Itadaki~ but his time is now being taken up by his new role as BASARA’s president.

Match #2 ended in a draw when both teams all got tangled up with each other from a back and forth Double Brainbuster spot. Isami Kodaka, Shiori Asahi, Yasu Urano and Hagane Shinno all ended up rolling their shoulders onto the canvas and they were all pinned for the three count.

Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino opened up the show with an announcement for BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall on 3rd August. Aijin Tag will team up to face Isami Kodaka & El Desperado! Kamino is aware that Desperado and Nakano already know each other but does Desperado know who he is? He sent out a warning that despite his muscular look, he is still a junior heavyweight so he is going to overwhelm the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion with his muscles!

BASARA “BASARA 281 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 29~” Results

June 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 281 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 29~”, 15/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Fateful Seven: Minoru Fujita Vs Takato Nakano ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall (7:13).
2. Ultimate Rumble Battle: Takumi Tsukamoto, Ayumu Honda & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato, Ryota Nakatsu & Isami Kodaka when Honda submitted Kazato with an Armbar (?:??).
3. Jusenkyo Battle: SAGAT defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Vader Bomb (12:22).
4. Baseball-ken: Banana Senga & FUMA defeated Masato Kamino & Daiki Shimomura when Kamino stripped naked (11:11).
5. Prison Siege: Lil’ Kraken defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Kenobi-Style Cradle (6:28).
6. Decisive Battle By A Draw: Takato Nakano, Ryota Nakatsu, Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA, Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita, Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Ayumu Honda when Nakano pinned Hiroshi with the Takagari (5:38).

Martial Arts Health Army: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA, Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita, Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Ayumu Honda

Sports Fighting Army: Takato Nakano, Ryota Nakatsu, Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken

The first BASARA show held under new management pitted wrestlers who use martial arts to keep active against wrestlers who prefer to partake in other kinds of sports. This was set up when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Takato Nakano had an argument about it on the previous show. Everyone on the martial arts team fought in karate outfits and other similar clothing. Meanwhile the sports team all wore different types of outfits from gym tracksuits to baseball kits to swimming togs.

Every match had different rules applied. The Prison Siege was a Lumberjack Match. The “Baseball-ken” rules were somehow about forcing wrestlers to take off one piece of clothing as a penalty until they were completely naked (the lights went out before Masato Kamino took off his g-string). The Jusenkyo Battle had Ryuichi Sekine and SAGAT behave like different people or animals every time they were knocked out of the ring. The Ultimate Rumble Battle had everyone enter the match one at a time Royal Rumble style before they could win. The Fateful Seven had Minoru Fujita and Takato Nakano racing to get seven pin counts in total but they both reached a count of six and pinned each other for the seventh count, ending the match in a draw. By the end of the show the two sides were tied at two wins a piece so a 16-Man Tag Team match was held to determine a winner.

During the show Takeru Inoue announced his comeback match from injury will happen on 25th June.

Changes To BASARA Management

June 9, 2025

A press conference was held by BASARA today at their Pro Wrestling Clutch bar in Shinjuku to announce a change in management. BASARA’s founder Isami Kodaka has stepped down as president of the company and the role has been handed over to Ryota Nakatsu. Also the Sales Manager role has been given to Takumi Tsukamoto while Takato Nakano has been chosen to be the president of BASARA’s Players Association. Kodaka remains a part of BASARA as a representative partner and still bears responsibility for the company while a person named Mika Oyama is an executive partner.

It was revealed that BASARA is currently in debt with half of the shows they have put together being run at a loss because of low attendance. Their move to become an independent company happened around the time the Covid pandemic began and the lockdowns had a big effect on their attendance numbers dropping. They thought the attendance numbers would eventually recover coming out of the lockdowns but it never happened and they admit it will be difficult to survive unless they make drastic changes. The immediate goal for the new management is to improve attendance at the shows.

Kodaka believes he is unable to make the most of his position as both a pro wrestler and a company president so he is passing the baton over to Nakatsu. He thinks Nakatsu is well respected in the locker room and has earned the trust of everyone in the company to take charge. Kodaka will now get to focus on wrestling while Nakatsu, Tsukamoto and Nakano run the company in his place. He gets to have the final say but all authority now belongs to the new management team. All three promised to do their best to revitalize BASARA.

For the moment Nakatsu wants BASARA to continue running local village shows at Ryuichi Sekine and FUMA’s hometowns. He understands how everyone in the company now has different jobs and responsibilities compared to when the company was launched a decade ago. But he wants everyone get back the feeling they had when they first launched the company and work together as one. He is also aware that BASARA’s precursor Union Pro Wrestling made it to ten years before closing down. He wants BASARA to keep going for many decades more, pretty much until he retires. Kodaka had a similar mindset when he launched BASARA, claiming at the time he would retire whenever the company goes away.
