BASARA “BASARA 184 ~GLITTER~” Results

February 22, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 184 ~GLITTER~”, 22/02/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Yusuke Kubo defeated Chicharito Shoki with a Gedo Clutch (9:10).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yusuke Kubo defeated Gouma & Yasu Urano when Tsukamoto submitted Gouma with a Crab Hold (10:12).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with the Cross Armbreaker (14:30).
4. Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Fuminori Abe when Shimomura pinned Abe with an Invertied Hurricanrana (14:19).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (18:21).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The long delayed Union MAX Title match between Ryota Nakatsu and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi finally took place. Nakatsu had a visual pin on Hiroshi with the V Slider but the referee Yuya Okada was knocked out earlier and couldn’t count it. Hiroshi did his best to fight back but Nakatsu hit another V Slider and this time Okada was there to count the pin. Hiroshi admitted he was overconfident but Nakatsu called him the best genius in BASARA.

Suddenly, FUMA ran in and gave Nakatsu a judo throw. He then revealed something he kept secret from everyone all this time. The leader of Asian Kung Fu Revolution is not a Chinese kung fu master! He is in fact Japanese and spent 6 years in a judo club during junior high and high school. Watching the title match made his heart go wild so he wants to challenge Nakatsu for the MAX Title. Nakatsu accepted the challenge but was in for a surprise. For you see, FUMA actually does know kung fu. He just lied to trick Nakatsu into giving him a title shot. FUMA promised he will use the 4,000 years of Chinese history found in his kung fu techniques to beat Nakatsu!

Yusuke Kubo kept yelling at Chicharito Shoki to go back to Chiba while they were fighting. Shoki refused because he wanted to wrestle in front of all the fans in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

BASARA Back To Full Strength, Dieno And Takanashi Cleared To Return, Ganpro Mixed Hardcore Match, Mega Max Bump

February 8, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 183 ~TAKAGARI 8~”, 11/02/2022
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Yusuke Kubo & Lil Kraken
2. 3 Way Match: Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino Vs Akiyori Takizawa
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Fuminori Abe & Banana Senga
4. Daichi Kazato Vs Minoru Fujita
5. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

It looks like the BASARA roster is back to full strength after their covid breakout last month. All of those who missed the last show are cleared to wrestle again and will be at this Friday’s show.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 IN OSAKA!!”, 12/02/2022
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
3. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Toru Owashi, Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
4. Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes, Akito & Toui Kojima
5. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – B Block: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (2) Vs Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
6. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block – Maikon no Kohara Presents: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno (2) Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (2)

There are clearances over in DDT too. Danshoku Dieno will be back in action on Saturday. He is allowed to re-enter the Ultimate Tag League, taking back his spot on the Pheromones team that Yumehito Imanari kept warm while he was out of action. But first he has a non-tournament match to get his wind back.

DDT “DDT FREE -FEBRUARY- ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 IN SHINJUKU!!”, 14/02/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Toui Kojima Vs Maya Yukihi & Yukio Naya
2. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
3. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama Vs Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata
4. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul
5. DDT Extreme Title – Turkish Wrestling Rules: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino

Masahiro Takanashi will also return to action two days later teaming up with Chris Brookes again. CDK had to forfeit their league match to Pheromones which is a minor setback after winning their opening bout. They are still in the running for first place in Block B but as things stand right now that forfeit might come back to haunt them.

BASARA “BASARA 184 ~GLITTER~”, 22/02/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

The postponed Union MAX Title match between Ryota Nakatsu and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi has been rescheduled to 22nd February.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2022”, 27/02/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Katsumura-gun Vs Hitodenashi BLUES: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi
2. BAD COMMUNICATION 2022 Special Bout: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi
4. Ganpro’s Famous Mixed Tag Match: Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE Vs Shunma Katsumata & Akane Fujita
5. Unleash The Curse Of The Great Prophecy!: The Great Sasuke Vs Yumehito Imanari
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Kouki Iwasaki

A dangerous request was put in HARUKAZE for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall. She demanded a Hardcore Match and threw the challenge out to both Shunma Katsumata and Akane Fujita! Those two already have tension between them over accusations of weapon plagiarism but they have to team together for this match. HARUKAZE found Mizuki Watase to be her partner and make the match an intergender tag.

There has been little follow up to the rumours of CyberFight wanting to sign Maya Yukihi to a contract. She has her story with Saki Akai in DDT going on until March so once that finishes up we may find out what she wants to do next. But before that, she will show up in Ganpro again for a tag match highlighting the Ganbare☆Joshi division.

Seeing Ken Ohka positioned this low on a major Ganpro card is weird. I welcome it because the rest of the group has stepped up over the last two years but it’s still weird.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

The next KO-D Openweight Title defence will be held at DDT’s next big show after their 25th Anniversary celebration. Either Konosuke Takeshita or Tetsuya Endo will defend the title at the Yokohama Budokan against an opponent to be determined.

Also on the show will be the return of Hikaru Sato to DDT for the first time since 2019. Sato was a DDT mainstay from 2008 to 2014 and even held the KO-D Title one time. He makes some one-off appearances here and there but those times were for spin-off shows or special occasions.

TJPW x Prestige, Covid Updates

January 19, 2022

Yesterday Prestige Wrestling announced they have begun a working relationship with Tokyo Joshi Pro. They tweeted “Over the coming months & years we will bring many of their top stars to the United States!” Prestige has been around since 2017 but had not run any shows since 2019 because of the pandemic. 2022 is their re-launch and they have several shows booked in Oregon and California throughout springtime.

I don’t have much thought on this at the moment. The gap of time between Prestige’s last show to now is long enough that this may as well be a brand new indie so I have no idea what matches to think could happen. At least it’s a potential sign of international travel opening up for the TJPW roster and there might be more work in America available for them than just AEW. Fingers crossed it works out for both sides if it goes ahead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 20/01/2022

1. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami Vs Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu

The entire 2nd Round of the Max Heart Tournament takes place tomorrow. We’re getting 121000000 Vs VENYU, Daydream Vs Kyoraku Kyomei, The Bakuretsu Sisters Vs Free WiFi and Arisuzu Vs MokaYuki. There was concern last week when a member of staff from the venue tested positive for covid but nobody from TJPW was identified as a close contact. Everyone on the roster took PCR tests to be sure and all came back negative. So tomorrow’s show is going ahead as scheduled.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 22/01/2022

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo

An update was given out from BASARA after a covid breakout happened to their roster last weekend. Ryota Nakatsu and Masato Kamino both got positive results. Nakatsu’s Union MAX Title match has been postponed until he has recovered. SAGAT is under quarantine until tomorrow for close contact reasons. Daiki Shimomura tested negative and has since returned to his normal activities. Yuya Okada had already tested positive last week and is at home getting treatment. BASARA will make decisions on upcoming shows based on medical advice once everyone is caught up on their current situations.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 ~ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 OPENING ROUND~”, 30/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda & Yusuke Okada Vs Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida

Some good news is Yusuke Okada will be cleared to wrestle again in time for the Korakuen Hall show. He is cleared of covid and is just waiting out his remaining quarantine time at the moment.

Two Close Contacts Changes Tomorrow’s Show

January 2, 2022

DDT “DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY OPENING SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3000 YEN BOX OFFICE!!”, 03/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Soma Takao, Gota Ihashi & Yuki Ishida
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Yuji Hino, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku
3. Special Mixed Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Saki Akai Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Maya Yukihi

5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Ueno
6. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Hideki Okatani
7. HARASHIMA & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Naomi Yoshimura
8. DDT 25th Anniversary Opening Memorial Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Shinya Aoki

Both Yukio Naya and Yusuke Okada were recently identified as close contacts with Covid and have to pull out of tomorrow’s show. Neither have shown any illness but will both stay home to avoid any possible spread of the virus. Changes are made to the card because of this. Yuya Koroku no longer has a singles match (Okada was his original opponent), instead he will replace Naya in what is now Match #2.

BASARA “BASARA 182 ~GLITTER~”, 25/01/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

On New Year’s Eve Ryota Nakatsu won a Battle Royal to determine the No. 1 Contender of the Union MAX Title. Since he is already the champion his reward was to choose his next opponent. He picked Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, the person he last eliminated to win the Battle Royal.

The first IRON FIST Tag Champions have a chance to reclaim the belts. Look BASARA is a small promotion they can only cycle through the same teams for title matches over and over. IRON PRIEST lost the titles to Speed Of Sounds the first time around too. So maybe winning them back will bring some closure to the rivalry on their end.

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~” Results

December 14, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Lil Kraken with the Goregrind (8:28).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Gouma when Hiroshi submitted Gouma with the Kesagatame (11:11).
3. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kubo pinned Kamino with the Death Metal Roll (14:00).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the O-Cannon Bomb (16:19).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Banana Senga with the V Slider (16:47).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Ryota Nakatsu jokingly made sure he didn’t break Banana Senga’s jaw this time and kept asking him if his chin was ok after the main event. Senga was angry over losing to Nakatsu and had to be held back by Tsutomu Oosugi. He was told he was getting hot headed before their next match where this time the IRON FIST Tag Titles will be on the line. After Speed Of Sounds left, Nakatsu said he & SAGAT will win the belts on 26th December and he will become a double crown champion! Sparky and SOS later had another confrontation backstage after the show.

Earlier this year Takumi Tsukamoto was a triple crown champion holding the Union MAX Title, the BJW Death Match Title and the obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title. He eventually lost the first two but still has the CCW Title in his possession. Little is known about the origins of the title but Tsukamoto was told it was brought to Japan by Bad News Allen around 20 years ago and other former champions include Shigeo Okumura and Kazuhiko Matsuzaki. It was revived five years ago and Tsukamoto was even part of the tournament to crown the new champion. Daichi Kazato told him he never defends the title so he dared him to put it on the line against him. It took some convincing but in the end Tsukamoto agreed to a title match on 26th December.

This was Minoru Fujita’s first match in BASARA since August. Masahiro Takanashi paused the match to congratulate him on his return from illness. He then hit him with the Rocket Punch.

During Match #2 Kazato and Oosugi got into an endless cycle of Tombstone reversals along the entrance ramp that took them away from ringside and out of their match. They returned to the ring still doing the reversals after Match #4. Oosugi won out by hitting the Tombstone on Kazato and left. Kazato then grabbed a microphone while prone and made his CCW Title challenge to Tsukamoto.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Since Kenta Kobashi will be in attendance to see the D-Ou Grand Prix final, Tetsuya Endo decided to visit him at his gym during the week to get some feedback on his tournament performance. Endo also brought up his plans to create a new unit. He asked Kobashi for advice, citing Kobashi’s experience leading units such as GET and Burning. Kobashi said a unit needs a strategist so Endo’s position would improve if he finds a councilor. Endo immediately asked Kobashi if he could take that role in the unit. Kobashi declined because he is not interested in returning to the ring. He did however invite Endo back to his gym again after the Grand Prix so they could talk more about potential members for Endo’s new unit.

While I’ve been writing up this blog post, all of a sudden DDT sends out a tweet in English hyping up a big mystery name. “That BIG NAME that everyone’s talking about recently will be at DDT 12.26 NEVER MIND 2021 in YOYOGI! The name will be announced at DDT 12.5 Korakuen Hall! Stay tuned LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!” I’m out of the loop on this one.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN MAEBASHI”, 11/12/2021

1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata

6. Maebashi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima Vs HARASHIMA, Yuji Hino & Chris Brookes

A heavyweight match gives Naomi Yoshimura a chance to get past his poor D-Ou performances. Yukio Naya is still trying to get his act together but picked up some recent wins here and there.

BASARA “BASARA 179 ~GLITTER~”, 14/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Banana Senga

Banana Senga scored a big win on the last show when he pinned Isami Kodaka in their tag match. He later stepped up to challenge Ryota Nakatsu next for the Union MAX Title. Around five years ago Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a match and while he accepts the blame over the injury, he doesn’t think he is responsible now to pay for any compensation towards Senga. Instead he is willing to defend the MAX Title against him.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN FITNESS SHOP NAGOYA PARCO SAKAE”, 17/12/2021
Aichi Fitness Shop Nagoya Parco Sakae Store

3. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

The “big name” is going to be the Egg isn’t it? The Egg shows up and wins the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title because of that’s what should happen. Pay DDT the money to do this, Netflix!

BASARA “BASARA 180 ~WHITE WAGTAIL~”, 26/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Nakatsu accepting Senga’s challenge for the MAX Title on two weeks notice came as part of a deal. That match happens first then Sparky gets an IRON FIST Tag Titles shot against Speed Of Sounds two weeks after that.

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~” Results

November 30, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil Kraken & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Kraken with the Samurai’s Return (13:34).
2. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Gouma when Kubo submitted Gouma with the Crossface Lock (9:28).
3. Masahiro Takanashi defeated FUMA with the Uwabami (14:58).
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Senga pinned Kodaka with the Cancun Tornado (15:09).
*V1 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with a Rolling Back Clutch Hold (20:12).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.

All is good between Sparky after their Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu said only people who are the same age and on the same team could fight each other like they do. It was a fight to the death but all that separated Nakatsu from SAGAT was a rolling pin. Nakatsu says it is his new move and he wants to call it the Nakaroll.

Speed Of Sounds approached Sparky after the main event. Banana Senga said he has a history with Nakatsu. Five years ago they were supposed to have a singles match but before it took place Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a tag team bout. Senga says Nakatsu owes him a lot of money over it so he should get a MAX Title shot on 14th December. Nakatsu agreed but in return he wants an IRON FIST Tag Titles match with SAGAT against as his partner on 26th December. Senga didn’t want to commit because what if he breaks his jaw again in the MAX Title match? Tsutomu Oosugi encouraged him to win the MAX Title, then they can defend the IRON FIST Titles and then Senga will be a double champion!

They are doing this format a little earlier this year but this time around it is for the entire show! Ten matches, each one with a seven minute time limit, will all be randomly chosen on 4th December. There are 21 wrestlers available so one of the matches is a 3 Way Match so there will be nobody left out.

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi

Okay, now we have the official match order for the show. Konosuke Takeshita versus Yuji Okabayashi is the headlining match.

Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

5. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Saki Akai Vs Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE

Some international flavour is being added to the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. Also can Keisuke Ishii and Shinichiro Tominaga get along after Tominaga quickly eliminated Ishii from the Ganbare☆Climax?

Rina Amikura is from Actwres girl’Z.

BASARA “BASARA 174 ~TAKAGARI 6~”, 13/11/2021
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT & Fuminori Abe

Speed Of Sounds and Masahiro Takanashi will be on the show. I believe Takanashi still owes Fuminori Abe that rematch.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata Produce Match – My First Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuya Koroku Vs Hideki Okatani & Toui Kojima

Who let Shunma Katsumata do this? He’s putting together a Hardcore match for the rookies! Doesn’t he know that rookies break easily? Yuya Koroku, Hideki Okatani and Toui Kojima will take part in their first ever Hardcore match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
2. International Princess Title Match: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The trios time limit draw at the last show has left both Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe wanting more against each other. Watanabe asked Noa for a singles match and Noa is willing to put the IP Title on the line for it. She has defended the title against Raku already so if she beats Watanabe then everyone can agree that Noa is the best of the Up Up Girls!

The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.

BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs SAGAT

Ryota Nakatsu is the new Union MAX Champion. His first challenger is his Sparky teammate SAGAT.
