1. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Let’s Combine (8:13).
2. Your Neighborhood Noise Trouble Solution: FUMA defeated Gouma Ryu with the Heavy Metal Anthem (R4 1:00).
3. Koji Iwamoto defeated Daichi Kazato with a German Suplex (11:24).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Shinya Ishida defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT when Hiroshi pinned SAGAT with the Perfect Plex (13:08).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu with an Armlock Manjigatame (17:33).

Ryota Nakatsu went into the main event putting in all that vhe could be he still lost to Isami Kodaka. Nakatsu admitted disappointment over the result and wants to face Kodaka again. It’s possible that they will have a match at the IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-finals if both of their teams win in the first round. Nakatsu asked Kodaka to remember him until then. He also warned Kodaka that Shinjiro Otani & Sean Guinness are formidable opponents while Nakatsu only has to worry about Masamune & Gouma Ryu.

The team of Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT continues to look a bit shaky. Before their match against Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Shinya Ishida began SAGAT asked Tsukamoto why he is entering the Iron Fist tournament with Kodaka instead of him. Tsukamoto said he already explained why and promised SAGAT he would work hard in this match to sort out their own relationship as a team. However their teamwork fell apart again and Hiroshi even used SAGAT’s momentum against Tsukamoto to get an advantage. Hiroshi got the win and gave SAGAT some encouragement because they are entering the tournament together. He called him a piece of junk in the process but it was meant to be encouragement. Hiroshi hopes he & SAGAT will face Kodaka & Tsuakmoto in the final.

Gouma Ryu has been complaining about FUMA playing his heavy metal music too loud wherever he goes. He challenged FUMA to a wrestling debate that would consist of 5 two minute rounds switching back and forth between wrestling and debating. FUMA struggled during the debate but took control when it switched to wrestling. Back in the debate FUMA could hardly contain his excitement when describing the emotional splendor of his favourite music genre. It ended with him doing an air guitar. In the next wrestling round Ryu was fed up and tried to hit FUMA with his law book. FUMA knocked Ryu down and placed the book on top of him. He then hit the Heavy Metal Anthem onto Ryu and the book to win the match.

1. Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Takuya Nomura & Fuminori Abe when Kazato pinned Abe with the Explosive Axe Bomber (11:18).
2. Tomoya Kawamura Belongs To BASARA 1st Leg: Isami Kodaka defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Zeyyari (11:51).
3. Hardcore Match: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated SAGAT with the Dumping Tiger Suplex (14:07).
4. Trans-Am ★ Trans-Am: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi defeated Atsushi Maruyama & Hi69 when Hiroshi pinned Maruyama with the Perfect Plex (16:16).
5. Cavalry Vs IRON PRIEST The Entire Conflict 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: FUMA, Madoka, Yusuke Kubo & Jaki Numazawa defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu, Koji Iwamoto & Masashi Takeda (27:08).
5a. Madoka eliminated Koji Iwamoto by Ring Out (12:13).
5b. Masashi Takeda eliminated Jaki Numazawa by Ring Out (15:45).
5c. Masashi Takeda and Yusuke Kubo were both eliminated by Ring Out (18:11).
5d. Ryuichi Sekine eliminated Madoka by Ring Out (21:40).
5e. FUMA eliminated Ryuichi Sekine by Ring Out (24:40).
5f. FUMA eliminated Ryota Nakatsu with the Heavy Metal Anthem (27:08).

IRON PRIEST stole Cavalry’s stick horses at the last BASARA show and brought them out before the main event to taunt their opponents. However Cavalry got one up on them with a surprise ambush to start the elimination match. IRON PRIEST scored the first elimination when Madoka pulled Koji Iwamoto over the ropes and knocking him off the apron. Jaki Numazawa tried to get rid of Masashi Takeda next but a reversal of fortunes led to Numazawa getting knocked out of the ring. Takeda then eliminated both Yusuke Kubo and himself with a Spear on the apron. Cavalry took the lead when FUMA accidentally hit Madoka with a High Kick, leading to his elimination. But a mistaken clash of partners happened to Cavalry too afterwards. Ryota Nakatsu hit Ryuichi Sekine and FUMA capitalized. That left FUMA and Sekine as the final two and FUMA got the only pinfall of the match to win it for IRON PRIEST. FUMA said IRON PRIEST has been the best unit in BASARA’s eight months of existence. To prove this he wants to hold a tag team tournament called the Iron Fist Tag League. However he said this while still wearing his mask so most of the audience just heard muffled yelling. FUMA also wants “Iron Fist” by Motorhead to be the league’s official theme song. Isami Kodaka suggested it should be a playoff instead of a league because they have no time to do another round robin tournament this year.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi brought in a new tag partner from America, Trans-Am ★ Ryuichi. However Atsushi Maruyama was convinced it was really Big Japan wrestler Ryuichi Kawakami pretending to be American. Ryuichi denied the accusation and got the fans to chant “Let’s go Trans-Am!” as he wrestled. Hi69 stopped Hiroshi from doing the Perfect Plex by hitting him with a chair. He and Maruyama then put their opponents in Sleeper Holds until “USA” chants woke them up. Team Trans-Am turned the tables and Hiroshi finally hit the Perfect Plex on Maruyama for the win.

The alliance between Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT is getting a little strained. Tsukamoto beat him in a Hardcore Match but offered to shake hands afterwards. SAGAT ignored it and headed directly to the exit.

Tomoya Kawamura had his first match in BASARA a day after his final match in DNA. The Rainbow Kawamura gimmick is now gone, Kawamura has reverted back to his previous self from before the injury. However he still put disinfectant on his hands before the match. Kawamura came close to winning with a Michinoku Driver II and Swanton Bomb but Kodaka fired back with the Zeyyari for the victory. Kodaka said his opponent was unexpectedly strong after watching video of his match from yesterday. He then welcomed Kawamura to BASARA.

The brackets for the 2nd Shinjuku Strongest Ground Budokai were revealed at the beginning of the show. The tournament takes place at Kodaka’s self-produced show on 28th September. The four first round matches are Shiori Asahi Vs Tatsuhiko Yoshino, FUMA Vs Kengo Mashimo, Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sekimoto and Isami Kodaka Vs Brahman Kei (w/ Brahman Shu). Manami Toyota and a mystery wrestler were given byes into the second round.

1. Hi69 defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Stuka Splash (9:35).
2. Ryuichi Sekine & Koji Iwamoto defeated Madoka & Yusuke Kubo when Sekine submitted Kubo with the Let’s Combine (11:11).
3. Reverse Wrestling Court: Gouma Ryu defeated MC.33 and Atsushi Maruyama when Ryu pinned Maruyama with the Not Guilty (14:01).
4. HEAVY METAL vs BEST STRETCH: FUMA & Jaki Numazawa defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when FUMA pinned Kazato with the Heavy Metal Anthem (13:05).
5. Triangle Basara: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT when Hiroshi pinned SAGAT with the Perfect Plex (10:49).

Although Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT are a tag team in BASARA, it was every man for himself in the 3 Way Match with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Well, kind of. As the match progressed Tsukamoto and Hiroshi started fighting each other over who gets to have SAGAT. Hiroshi said SAGAT is his pet but Tsukamoto responded that SAGAT is his buddy. SAGAT escaped the Perfect Plex but his momentum was stopped with a Spinebuster. That allowed Hiroshi to do the Perfect Plex again and pick up the win. After a bit of bickering after the match, Tsukamoto shook hands with both Hiroshi and SAGAT.

Jaki Numazawa is blending in well with his new IRON PRIEST pal. He wrestled in a similar heavy metal costume as FUMA for their match. Daichi Kazato tried to block out the heavy metal stuff by singing his own song about the Best Stretch gym he works for. He was able to Clothesline Numazawa out of the ring but FUMA gave him an Extreme Twist Of Fate. FUMA then pinned Kazato with the Heavy Metal Anthem. He is pleased to have “NUMA-METAL” as his new support act as IRON PRIEST prepares to battle with Cavalry next month.

After Match #3, Tomoya Kawamura made an unexpected appearance wearing a suit. The former Rainbow Kawamura wanted to speak to Isami Kodaka. MC.33 who had just wrestled disappeared and Kodaka just so happened to appear in his place. Kawamura talked to him about being in Union Pro together but an injury robbed him the chance of wrestling there for the company’s final months. When he came back he became Rainbow Kawamura so he could have some fun but now it was time for his old self to come back. Kawamura announced he will quit DNA and now wants to wrestle in BASARA! Kodaka accepted him into BASARA and booked a match between the two of them on 8th September.

*V1 for Abdullah Kobayashi, Masaya Takahashi & Takayuki Ueki.

The chairman of the Yokohama Shopping Street Federation that sponsors the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Titles was pleased with the main event. He described it as pure pro wrestling at its very best, which is very good. FUMA said Abdullah Kobayashi’s bald head reminds him of Rob Halford from Judas Priest and Piet Sielck from Iron Savior. Kobayashi didn’t know who they were and asked if they are Japanese. FUMA then apologised to the fans for IRON PRIEST’s failure to win the titles. He said IRON PRIEST will impregnate the pro wrestling world with heavy metal. “Thorns and chains to the soft heart! KEEP ON ROCKIN’ Heavy Metal Anthem! We are IRON PRIEST!”

SAGAT was focused on beating Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi in the Hardcore Tag Match but it was not meant to be. Hiroshi stopped the Goregrind with a Spinebuster onto a Ladder. The Perfect Plex afterwards was the end for SAGAT. Hiroshi rubbed in his victory by saying how fun it is to wrestle in a variety of matches. He then challenged SAGAT to a singles match on 30th August. However Takumi Tsukamoto stepped in and demanded to be in the match too. It was decided that a 3 Way Match will take place instead.

0. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Yasu Urano defeated Shintaro Murotani & Ryohei Fukuda when Urano submitted Fukuda with a Camel Clutch (8:08).
1. Hot Pants! Shuran! Multinational! Corps Combat Final Liqueur Decisive Battle: Ryuichi Sekine & Choun-Shiryu defeated Ryu Gouma & Yumehito Imanari and Masahiro Takanashi & DJ Nira when Shiryu pinned Nira after a Toe Kick from Yukinori Matsui (15:13).
2. Antonio Honda defeated Kikutaro with a Cradle (23:51).
3. Tuxedo Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Konosuke Takeshita by undressing him down to his underwear (11:13).

It was Happy Motels turn to run a show and they opted for a more classier affair than the others. Their show was presented as a dinner party with songs performed by Antonio Honda and his singer friends in between matches. To hammer this idea home the main event had Konosuke Takeshita and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi both wrestling in tuxedos. However the goal was to strip their opponent down to their underwear. It reached the point where Takeshita only had his shirt left on while Hiroshi was down to his trousers. Takeshita gave Hiroshi a Power Bomb but Hiroshi smartly grabbed onto Takeshita’s shirt mid-move so he could pull it off to win the match.

One year ago Honda took on the greatest challenge of his life, Transparent Mel Gibson. This year was an even great challenge. He wrestled Kikutaro for over 20 minutes! They both teased giving up while trading holds but it was just them saying words and names the sound like “Give Up”. This went on for five minutes. Ten minutes into the match Honda attempted a Quebrada but slipped on the rope. Kikutaro then started using Yukinori Matsui as a shield and a weapon on Honda. During a Chop Battle Kikutaro took his shirt off and started to take the match more seriously. Honda hit a Lou Thesz Press and Scorpion Death Drop but missed the Diving Fist Drop. Kikutaro hit the Shining Kikuzard for a nearfall. He went for a Body Slam but Honda countered it into a Small Package and got the three count. Both wrestlers bowed and hugged each other after the match.

The rules of Match #1 had a drinking song play at certain points of the match. Any wrestler who drank during the song could not be attacked. That meant any wrestler who did not drink during the song was targeted by everyone else. Ryuichi Sekine complained that he had gout and was told by his doctor not to drink any alcohol. So obviously everyone attacked him during the drinking song. Daisuke Kiso was pulled out of the ring during a flurry of pinfalls so Yukinori Matsui came in and kicked everyone to keep the match under control. He then fast counted a pin when Choun-Shiryu crawled onto DJ Nira. Sekine had enough and gave Matsui a Stunner. He then did a Stone Cole style beer bash with the other wrestlers joining in.

At the beginning of the show Yasu Urano was invited to the ring along with two members of DDT’s video team. Hiroshi decided that Urano would fight the video team in a Handicap Match starting straight away. The video team did okay but Urano was still able to beat them easily. One of the crew, Ryohei Fukuda bailed on his partner midway through because he had a something to get ready for that involved a really important person. He begged for forgiveness and then ran off. He reappeared at the end of the show wearing a tuxedo of his own. He invited his girlfriend Yuki into the ring for his important event. He proposed to her and she said yes! Honda sang “The Ladybug’s Samba” to them as a congratulatory gift then everyone sang “We Are The World” to close out the show.

6. Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix – Final: Akito defeated Isami Kodaka by IPPON (12:28).

Drunkers Kingdom ended with the Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix. Every match in the tournament had a single lighttube attached to the ropes. The goal was to use your opponent to break the lighttube by either throwing him through it, smashing him with it or slamming him onto it. Isami Kodaka defeated Takumi Tsukamoto by using a Samson Clutch to roll him onto the lighttube and break it. Akito, the wrestler who came up with the rules for the tournament, beat Yuko Miyamoto. Miyamoto narrowly avoided being slammed onto the lighttube by forming a bridge over it but Akito then Double Stomped him onto the tube. Akito went on to win the Grand Prix by dropping Kodaka with the Hanamasa onto the lighttube. Akito was given a trophy with IPPON written on it. He celebrated by using the trophy to drink beer. Kodaka said he wants the Grand Prix to be an annual event.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi wore a Judo uniform to go along with Mike Bailey’s Taekwondo outfit.

Hyper Misao said her job of protecting Shin-Kiba has become more difficult because of all the Pokémon that have recently appeared in the area. She said her phone detected a high level Pikachu backstage but that was just to distract Yuka Sakazaki so Shoko Nakajima would have to wrestle against two people on her own. Sakazaki eventually came back to aid her partner when she couldn’t find the Pikachu.

Ultimate Superstars Action took over the second day of Tavern Wrestling’s Drunkers Kingdom series and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi packed the show with “American” stars. The first one to appear was Ima Naryi who attacked Hiroshi and tried to give him the Twist Of Fate. Hiroshi countered the move into a Spinebuster. Hara Cena then came out and chased Hiroshi towards the Spanish Announce Table. Hiroshi tried to give Cena the Perfect Plex through the table but Cena blocked it. Cena then gave Hiroshi the Attitude Adjustment through the table instead!

sakabash2

The “Broken Heart Boy” Tsuyoso Michaels made a special appearance to officiate a match between Shimataniel Bryan and Sagawa Joe. Bryan led the “Yes!” chants but was had the disadvantage because Michaels kept counting fast or slow in favour for Joe. A bungled attack led to Joe accidentally knocking down Michaels. When he lifted Bryan up for the Muscle Buster, Michaels stood back up and gave Joe the Sweet Chin Music. Bryan then applied the Yes Lock for the tapout victory.

sakabash3

Hiroshi came back out for the second contest of the evening, the Arm Wrestling Challenge. He yelled at the booing fans to shut up and respect him. He challenged anyone to come out but knew they were all chickens. Sirens blared throughout ringside and out came Kazushi Steiner! Hiroshi suddenly came up with an excuse that he had gout and was unable to take pary. Steiner forced him to take part and then he beat Hiroshi in the Arm Wrestling Match. Suddenly TAKA Nanbei & RENAKI came out. TAKA said they were going to kick their ass. RENAKI said “Indeed”. The hit Hiroshi with a Double Dropkick but Steiner easily knocked them down with a Double Clothesline. TAKA tried to do the Michinoku Driver but couldn’t lift him. Steiner Suplexed him and sealed the deal with the Steiner Recliner.

It was now time for the main event, the Royal Rumble! Lilian Garushiro was in attendance to sing “America The Beautiful”. Hiroshi drew unlucky #1 and had to start the match with A Kit O.

Man Man Kai Kind was out next but was Suplexed and choked out by the entrant after him, Tazu Urano. Kyoto Edge was #7 and he Speared Tazu out of the ring, eliminating him.

Urinho came out next and he hit Man Man Kai Kind with the Gore. #13 was The Nishinari Taker and he cleared house by getting rid of Man Man Kai Kind, Urhino, Hogaso and Rock. KI Punk fended off Taker but was ambushed by Hiroshi. Punk gave Hiroshi the GTS for his troubles.

sakabash6

Mike Tajiley almost met the same fate but he escaped by spitting Poison Mist at Punk. Hara Cena entered the ring like a house on fire and went toe to toe with Tajiley until Hiroshi snuck in and knocked Tajiley out of the ring.

sakabash7

“The Rising Sun” then blasted out of the music system to mark the entrance of Chinsuke Nakamura! He hit everyone with the Kinshasa while yelling “Iyaao!” Shimataniel Bryan was #18 and once again led “Yes!” chants.

sakabash8

That was cut short when the lights went out and the room went dark. When the lights came back on there was Nerima Sting! He attacked everybody in the ring with his baseball bat except for Hiroshi. He shook Hiroshi’s hand and left the ring so Hiroshi could pick up the pieces.

sakabash9

Taker and Chinsuke were eliminated but Cena skinned the cat. Hiroshi was still able to eliminate Cena afterwards but forgot about Bryan! Hiroshi was in the middle of celebrating when Bryan threw him out of the ring to win the Royal Rumble!

6. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Perfect Plex (15:12).

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s claim of being the best wrestler, “foriegn” or otherwise in BASARA stays intact with a win over Ryuichi Sekine. Hiroshi mentioned this was his fifth singles match with Sekine and his first victory against him.

Kengo Mashimo had to be held back from Isami Kodaka after their tag match. Mashimo yelled that it wasn’t over between them two. Kodaka said he was holding the 2nd ever Shinjuku Strongest Ground Budokai tournament on 28th September and he wants Mashimo to enter. Mashimo considered but when he found out Daisuke Sekimoto and Yasu Urano were also entering he accepted the invitation.

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and the Kotetsu Gundan came to a conclusion with two different hardcore matches. Kotetsu Gundan came out on top of both bouts to definitively win the feud. In the Chain Match Yusuke Kubo choked out SAGAT with the chain, forcing the referee to call for the bell. Although the unit feud is over, the rivalry between these two may return in the future. FUMA then defeated Takumi Tsukamoto in a TLC Match. Tsukamoto admitted defeat and called FUMA a strong wrestler even if his heavy metal antics get in the way. FUMA then began to ramble on about instrumental songs and how they emit a melody of sorrow without the need for words. He offered a truce to Tsukamoto. Together they can be comrades united by hearts made out of the same steel. Tsukamoto called himself the Ballad Fighter and gave the heavy metal hand sign. Backstage, Tsukamoto and Kubo announced the official name of their unit. Gone is Kotetsu Gundan, now they are IRON PRIEST!

Ryuichi Sekine had some harsh words for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after the main event. Sekine isn’t happy that Hiroshi won the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament last month. When they face off one on one next week Sekine says he will kick Hiroshi until he becomes the true Itadaki champion. Hiroshi wants to know why Sekine is so angry? Is he jealous of Hiroshi’s good looks? No, it’s because Hiroshi is at the highest level in the world and is BASARA’s strongest foreigner!

With Isami Kodaka absent from the show, the masked wrestler MC.33 took his place for his first match in 10 years. MC.33 kept yelling “YO!” as he wrestled with Atsushi Maruyama. He then interrupted the match and challenged Maruyama to a wrestling theme song guessing game. Maruyama took the challenge but attacked MC.33 when he was losing the game. At one point Maruyama kicked MC.33 below the belt. That caused MC.33 to kick the referee below the belt by accident. MC.33 told Maruyama he really wanted to win the match and convinced him to take his moves. Maruyama then apologised every time he kicked out of a pin. MC.33 finally won when he made Maruyama flinch and then Buzzsaw Kicked him when his guard was down.

The Kotetsu Gundan Vs Tsukasaga Army series ended 1-1. Takumi Tsukamoto beat Yusuke Kubo but FUMA defeated SAGAT afterwards. FUMA continued to attack SAGAT after their match and a brawl between the two teams broke out. They will face off in a Hardcore Tag Match in Shin-Kiba next week. SAGAT now wants the Hardcore Match to provide Chains for them to use. During their time together in King Legion back in Union both FUMA and SAGAT attacked their opponents with chains.

Kodaka Vs Mike Bailey will take place on the 1st August Tavern Wrestling show. Also happening on 3rd August is the first ever Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix four man tournament.


Ganbare Books Korakuen, Isami Goes MC.33 Returns, Hiroshi Funds U.S.A

After an intense period of negotiations Ganbare☆Wrestling will soon hold its first show in Korakuen Hall this October! Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari yesterday streamed live on Nico Douga their meeting with the Korakuen manager to book their show. Ohka originally wanted to hold the show on a Sunday but was told every Sunday is booked out for the rest of the year. He was offered Noon on a Saturday but Ohka begged and pleaded with the manager to find him a Sunday spot. The manager discovered there was a cancellation for 2nd October so that day became available. Ohka handed over 500,000 yen to pay for the deposit but was told he was 50,000 yen short. Imanari had another 20,000 and they eventually convinced the reporter and photographer who accompanied them to cough up the remaining cash. That was enough to confirm the spot, noon on 2nd October!

Isami Kodaka made an unexpected decision to pull himself from this show. He has decided to take some time off after failing to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Taking his place is a blast from the past, MC.33 (pronounced MC Sammy). This is a masked wrestler who appeared on the CRUSIER’S GAME brand during the mid-2000s. Kodaka describes him as a legend and is excited to see him in BASARA.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is using his prize winnings from Heaven Summit to fund the return of U.S.A. The brand will takeover one of the Tavern Wrestling tripleshot shows at the beginning of August, specifically the show held on 2nd August.

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and Kotetsu Gundan continues with several singles matches between the two sides. In Saitama it is just regular singles matches but afterwards in Shin-Kiba the matches will become Hardcore.

Ryuichi Sekine now has Hiroshi in his sights. Sekine wants to be the ace of BASARA so obviously the Heaven Summit winner and conqueror of Isami Kodaka is his next target.
