Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Round 2A: Minoru Fujita Vs Daiki Shimomura

Only one Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ match is happening on this show because Fuminori Abe Vs Takuya Nomura ended in a time limit draw, eliminating both of them from the tournament. Yasu Urano receives a bye straight to the semi-finals because of this. Daiki Shimomura is coming off of the biggest upset in Round 1, beating two time Itadaki winner Ryota Nakatsu. However that was under 2 Count Rules. Can he do the same against the veteran Minoru Fujita under the normal ruleset?

Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Round 2C: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs SAGAT
2. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Round 2D: FUMA Vs Isami Kodaka

The other half of the bracket isn’t missing anything. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is freshly motivated coming off of his 10th Anniversary show and his win over Takumi Tsukamoto in Round 1. His former ally SAGAT with his wild fighting style is waiting for him next. Meanwhile the Isami Kodaka versus FUMA rivalry is reignited with their latest battle coming up.

11. GHC Heavyweight Title – Triple Main Event III: Keiji Muto (c) Vs Naomichi Marufuji

The contracts have been signed for the three championship matches. The match order was decided by measuring the career achievements of the three current champions. That means the GHC Heavyweight Title match will be the last match on the show, the KO-D Openweight Title match will be before the GHC match and the Princess Of Princess Title match will be before the KO-D match.

Super Sasadango Machine tried to invade the NOAH show at Korakuen Hall on Saturday to negotiate who he will fight at Saitama Super Arena. Unfortunately he doesn’t understand how wrestlers are able to crash other companies and couldn’t get past the entrance because he had no ticket for the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK”, 17/06/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Marika Kobashi
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

Maki Itoh has a grand vision for 121000000. She wants herself and Miyu Yamashita to hold all the championships in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Yamashita can have the Princess Title, Itoh can get back the International Princess Title and they will also take one Princess Tag Team Title belt each. Now comes the tough job, beating NEO Biishiki-gun. They did it once before in February but NEO Biishiki-gun got their win back in the Max Heart Tournament final a month later. Time for the rubber match!

Now 20 years old, Marika Kobashi is challenging for her first singles title to prove she has grown up. There is some jealousy behind the move because she didn’t like seeing Hikari Noa win the IP Title before she did.

BASARA “BASARA 161 ~GLITTER~”, 29/06/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 2A Vs Yasu Urano

3. FUMA defeated Takato Nakano with a Cross Armbreaker (11:19).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
*V3 for Sento Minzoku.
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Masato Kamino with the Dragon Kicker (15:11).
*V5 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

Takumi Tsukamoto called Masato Kamino an insanely strong opponent. He fought off his Lariats, avoided being thrown with the Verdict and used a Dragon Kicker to get the win. His next goal is to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ as the reigning Union MAX Champion. Then he can nominated his next challenger.

The time expired in the IRON FIST Tag Titles match right after Ryota Nakatsu gave Isami Kodaka the V Slider. Daiki Shimomura took himself out when he missed a Swanton Bomb while SAGAT was there to break the count when Kodaka had Nakatsu beaten with a Brainbuster. Kodaka got a nearfall with the Diving Double Knee Drop but Nakatsu got back into it with a High Kick, a German Suplex and then the V Slider when time ran out. Nakatsu spoke of his regret to tag in SAGAT to finish the job while SAGAT thinks they would have won if they hit the Big Mac.

Gouma got permission to change the rules to the 3 Way Match. Only two wrestlers were allowed to fight in the ring at one time. The odd man out had to wait on the apron and be tagged in to enter the match. At one point Gouma had Fuminori Abe pinned in La Magistral Cradle but Abe grabbed referee Daisuke Kamibayashi’s hand to stop him from counting three. Under the new rules that counted as a tag and Kamibayashi had to wrestle Gouma. Yasu Urano hit Gouma with a Lariat but fell out of the ring when Kamibayashi lowered the ropes. Kamibayashi then pinned Gouma with a Standing Moonsault and Abe performed the three count to award him the win.

The 2021 Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament will be held from 18th May to 7th July. This year’s tournament is back to being BASARA only after last year’s edition was co-promoted with Dove Pro.

The 5th May show in Itabashi Green Hall will celebrate Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s 10th Anniversary in pro wrestling.

Today is the beginning of a trial period where BASARA is allowing its fans to cheer and make noise during the show, as long as they still wear their protective masks over their mouths and noses.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

As of today, Yusuke Okada has signed a full time deal with DDT! On the DDT side, they were interested in signing him at some point and the deciding factor was when Okada fought Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title on 14th March. Sanshiro Takagi was worried that he might have missed the window to sign Okada because as a freelancer he could have gone somewhere else afterwards. Okada admitted he wasn’t thinking about his status with DDT after that match. His only concern was standing out in the ring. He still wants to broaden his wrestling horizons and DDT is a world he doesn’t know about so he will devote himself to find out. His goal for now is to win the UNIVERSAL Title because he is becoming obsessed with surpassing Ueno. It won’t be easy for him so he will build himself up to it step by step so the DDT fans will recognize him. Takagi said the signing of Okada happening so soon after signing Jun Akiyama is just a coincidence. Takagi wants Okada to wrestle everyone in DDT from all generations. If the timing is right then Takagi believes Okada will be active in DDT for a long time.

The date and location for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2021” will be announced during the show. All that has been said so far is the event will be held in front of fans and is taking place in a first time big venue for DDT.

4. GHC Heavyweight Title: Keiji Muto (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X

The first two DDT Vs NOAH matches have been made. The big one is Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno from DDT against NOAH’s Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura. There is a little bit of history to this match. Kiyomiya was part of a NOAH team that defeated a DDT team featuring Takeshita & Ueno in a 6-Man Tag match at “TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 2” back in August 2019. Inamura now wants a piece of them to show how strong his team is. Kiyomiya sees himself in a similar position to Takeshita since both are former heavyweight champions for their promotions and neither will be challenging for a title at the show. Ueno thinks people misunderstand him whenever he says DDT is fun pro wrestling. Fun and strength are two different things but they also go hand and hand together. Ueno wants his team to win to prove DDT is fun, strong and shouldn’t be underestimated. Takeshita also seems to have a chip on his shoulder over any opinion that NOAH is better than DDT.

The other DDT Vs NOAH match is based around the newer wrestlers from both companies. It is confirmed to be the opening match.

BASARA “BASARA 152 ~GLITTER~” Results

March 23, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 152 ~GLITTER~”, 23/03/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when SAGAT pinned Nakano after the Big Mac (11:16).
2. BASARA Official Rules Double Jacket Bout: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Oosugi submitted Gouma with a Reverse Cross Armbreaker (R4 0:24).
3. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) defeated FUMA & Yusuke Kubo when Shimomura pinned Kubo with the Orange Sunset (19:13).
*V2 for Sento Minzoku.
4. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daichi Kazato with a Crab Hold (14:30).
*V4 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Bonus Track – Final Trans-Am: The ★ Trans-Am defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Perfect 5 (8:09).

Today BASARA bid farewell to The ★ Trans-Am (aka Trans-Am ★ Ji, aka Trans-Am ★ Ryuji, aka Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi, aka Ryuichi Kawakami). He is going back to America but his future lies elsewhere, some place GLEAT so I hear. For his final BASARA match, his opponent Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi appeared in his classic pre-yoga costume wearing a blonde wig to match the hairstyle he had at that time. The wig was accidentally pulled off during the match and Hiroshi reacted to it by reverting to his current yoga persona. The BASARA roster took part in the farewell ceremony for Ryuji after the match.

Takumi Tsukamoto is handling the double champion role well. He now has 4 Union MAX Title defences to his name, the latest coming from a submission win over Daichi Kazato. He said winning this match gave him a lot of confidence. Nobody came out to challenge him afterwards which he thinks is a good thing. It shows he has become so strong that everyone might now be scared of him!

Isami Kodaka wants to give Daiki Shimomura all of the credit for their successful IRON FIST Tag Titles defence against IRON PRIEST. According to Kodaka, he couldn’t get his engine running until late the very end of the match. But he isn’t going to dwell on that. Instead, Kodaka wants to defend the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title on a BASARA show next month. He needs Big Japan’s permission first but hopes they will let him do a title match on 10th April.

What are the full rules for the Jacket Match? According to Gouma, nobody knows! It was made even more confusing when applied to a tag team match. Speed Of Sounds were able to beat Gouma & Fuminori Abe fair and square but the two sides kept fighting after it ended.
