7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

The Union MAX Title reign is off to a good start for Masato Kamino but is he becoming to smug about it? He has really become proud of his muscular body as of late. However Ryota Nakatsu thinks that Kamino loves himself so much it’s starting to overshadow BASARA and the MAX Title.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~” Results

February 10, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~”, 10/02/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato after an Moroashigari Otoshi (10:22).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with La Bufadora (9:50).
3. SAGAT & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Nakatsu pinned Kawakami with the V Slider (10:40).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted Hiroshi with the Let’s Combine (14:06).
5. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Lariat (18:39).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.

Masato Kamino won the Aijin Tag battle against Takato Nakano to remain the Union MAX Champion. Nakano accepted defeat and will move to the back of the line. In the meantime he wants to see Kamino become even stronger to lead BASARA forward. They can also start teaming up again because it’s been a while since Aijin Tag last had a tag match together. Ryota Nakatsu then climbed into the ring. He praised Kamino for his victory but can also sense just how much Kamino loves himself. It’s enough to overshadow his love for BASARA and the MAX Title. Nakatsu however thinks his own love for BASARA and the MAX Title is clear to see so he wants the next title shot. Kamino accepted the challenge and the match will happen on 2nd March.

Today was the final match of Sento Minzoku as a unit. It was a 6-Man Tag match with the three active members all teaming together while Minoru Fujita was in their corner at ringside. After they beat Asian Kung Fu Revolution, all four members posed for the fans, laid their towels down on the canvas and all removed their monkey tails to place on top of the towels. Isami Kodaka then officially declared Sento Minzoku has disbanded. Backstage he said his desire to promote BASARA has not changed and he will continue to find ways to make it more exciting. Ryuichi Sekine said because he had reliable partners looking over him he was able to do whatever he wanted during his time in the unit. He will use that experience to step up in the future. Daiki Shimomura wonders if he would have been able to grow as he did if he never joined the unit and worn the tail. He thanked the others for teaching him so much. Fujita felt like he was able to become a part of BASARA thanks to Sento Minzoku. The unit disbanding does not mean he will be leaving BASARA. He’ll be back from his break eventually.

Title Matches Added To DDT Korakuen, GanJo X Kitsune, Grand Princess Main Event

January 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~HIEN~”, 21/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Inaugural Rumble: Isami Kodaka Vs Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs FUMA Vs KUBITO Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato Vs SAGAT Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano & Banana Senga
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Masato Kamino Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi

There are two strong opponents who Masato Kamino lost to in singles matches last year that he wants to fight again. They are Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi. Kamino wants to settle the score in one match so he asked BASARA to bring them back together as a tag team for him to fight. Kamino also decided he won’t team with Takato Nakano because they will soon fight each other for the Union MAX Title. Instead, Ryota Nakatsu will be Kamino’s partner for this match.

It’s Royal Rumble season so add BASARA to the growing list of companies that are doing their own version of the match this year.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 19: INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION”, 21/01/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Tag Team Match: MAO & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Mr. Bueno & Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Special Single Match: Ram Kaichow Vs Chris Brookes

Trust Baka Gaijin + Friends to still come up with first time matchups with a limited size roster. Chris Brookes and Ram Kaichow have fought each other plenty of times before in multi-person matches. This will be their first one on one matchup together.

DDT “NEW YEAR, NEW HERO. 2025 ~A NEW STORY BEGINS~”, 26/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. DDT Universal Title: Gringo Loco (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

According to both DDT and Gringo Loco he has defended the DDT Universal Title twice in North America. One was in Canada for Demand Lucha and I cannot for the life of me find where or when the second one took place. For his third defence he is nominating Yuki Ueno because he stands out the most to Loco. It will be Loco’s first time defending the title in Japan.

Danshoku Dieno made the decision to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Gorgeous Matsuno because he does not know if they will ever get another chance to do the match. Matsuno is still known to the public for a public divorce he went through in the 1990s where he was accused by his wife at the time of abuse. The divorce was finalised but it was also ruled by the court that there was no evidence to support the accusation. Dieno only knows Matsuno through his wrestling career and feels the need to have a heart to heart match while he still holds the Extreme Title. Dieno also wants a contract signed that says no one will be responsible for anything that happens in the ring during the match.

In the main event Yuna Manase gets her rematch with MICHIKO with the Kitsune World Title once again on the line.

HARUKAZE will not be wrestling at the show because of her busy schedule. However she will try to get there by rushing to the venue as soon as her other scheduled event is over.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 16/03/2025

Rika Tatsumi was the last woman standing in the Battle Royal to win this shot so she could finally make this fantasy come true.

BASARA “BASARA 266 ~SOUEN~” Results

January 10, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 266 ~SOUEN~”, 10/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Takeru Inoue with the Gore Grind (10:13).
2. FUMA defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Jawbreaker (12:37).
3. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Minoru Fujita defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Fujita pinned Ryu after a Double Kawazu-gake Otoshi (8:51).
4. 3 Way Tag Match – No Tag Rules: Daiki Shimomura & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato Yasu Urano & Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato after a Standing Moonsault/Jackknife Pin Combo (10:04).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when Kamino pinned Nakatsu with the Lariat (15:34).

After the main event Lil’ Kraken started a rap and was about to challenge Masato Kamino for the Union MAX Title. However Takato Nakano stopped Kraken with a Dropkick and decided to challenge Kamino instead! He sees Kamino currently has three indie championships (the other two are a TTT Indie Unified Six Man Tag Team Title and the Shinjuku Nichome ILNP Title) but the MAX Title is the only one he wants. Kamino said it will be a rare match where Aijin Tag fights each other. He will crush his partner because he is creating a new era and he’s not asking Nakano to follow him.

Backstage after the show Kamino said there are two wrestlers who beat him last year that he wants to get revenge on. So on 21st January he wants a match against Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi! He’ll go through that match first and then have his title bout with Nakano on a later date.

Minoru Fujita is on a break from wrestling in BASARA but he was still called in for a Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial. Banana Senga spent more time trying to speak like Kenny Omega and also wishing Tsutomu Oosugi a happy birthday than talking about the trial. He eventually accused Fujita of fraud because BASARA was still paying him during his time off. Fujita easily defeated Senga and Gouma Ryu to convince the ref/judge he is not guilty.

After the trial Isami Kodaka announced that Sento Minzoku is splitting up! The unit is disbanding in order to let Ryuichi Sekine fight more often without them as well as to help Daiki Shimomura’s future development. He and Fujita came to the decision on the car ride home after Fujita lost the MAX Title. Their last match as a group will be on 10th February.

FUMA told Sekine after their match that he woke up today at 5am to work on his farm before coming over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING. He’s proud to be a pro wrestler and asks if Sekine feels the same? He wants the two of them as part-time farmers to continue working hard in BASARA.

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~” Results

December 29, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~”, 29/12/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated SAGAT & Antonio Honda when Senga pinned SAGAT after the Shining Gongitsune Mistaken Attack from Honda (8:07).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Gouma Ryu with a Front High Kick (9:10).
3. Takato Nakano & Shota Kawakami defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Takeru Inoue when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Ken Katabami (13:15).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomuta defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted FUMA with the Let’s Combine (13:38).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken when Abe pinned Kazato after the Period. Misfire from Kraken (13:32).
*V4 for Astronauts.
6. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino defeated Minoru Fujita (c) with the Lariat (18:32).
*Minoru Fujita fails in V8. Masato Kamino becomes the 22nd Union MAX Champion!

BASARA in 2024 began with Minoru Fujita winning the Union MAX Title and ends with him losing it. Masato Kamino was able to kick out after taking the SAYONARA twice and hit the Lariat only for Fujita to kick out of that too. Kamino fought hard to hit another Lariat and when he finally did he was able to win the match with it. He wished Fujita to rest well for the great job he did as champion and thanked the fans for supporting BASARA this year. Ten years ago in Chiba he never imagined he would ever win a singles championship and now he is the man on top for a company. He will treat the belt like it is a baton Fujita passed over to him and will not give it up easily. He then nominated his tag partner Takato Nakano to be his first challenger.

Some miscommunication at the worst time cost Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken their chance to become the new Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Kazato was switching positions back and forth with Fuminori Abe and they paused in front of Lil’ Kraken. Abe was in front so Kraken charged in to use his finisher called the Period. Abe ducked the move and Kazato took the blow, causing both of them to fall back with Abe landing on top for the pinfall. At least there is no anger between Kazato & Kraken over what happened. Abe thinks Kazato has evolved as a wrestler while Takuya Nomura thinks he is brainwashing everyone. Astronauts also noticed there were some foreign fans in attendance today. Abe wonders what those fans think BASARA wrestling is like compared to what they will see in the Tokyo Dome next week?

The match between Sento Minzoku and Asian Kung-Fu Generation was heated from the get go and continued after the match ended. Both sides continued fighting after the finish and had to be kept apart.

There was also continued fighting between Takeru Inoue and Shota Kawakami after Match #3. Both are rookies who debuted this year and wanted to see who was better. They started trading Elbow Strikes after the match and Inoue then chased Kawakami away from ringside.

Takumi Tsukamoto purposely dressed up like an office worker to throw shade at Gouma Ryu. He said before their match that Ryu is only good for doing trials. Ryu disagreed and wanted to prove he can wrestle too. Then when Tsukamoto took a breather outside the ring during the match Ryu taunted him for running away from pro wrestling. Tsukamoto got back in to finish the match and ended up winning with a couple of Front High Kicks. Ryu kicked out of the first one at the one count but was beaten with the second kick.

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~” Results

November 29, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~”, 29/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Takato Nakano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Takagari (6:47).
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Masato Kamino defeated Isami Kodaka with the Lariat (7:43).
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takato Nakano with the V Slider (5:15).
4. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Masato Kamino defeated FUMA with a Cradle (10:18).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe when Hidaka submitted Inoue with the Shawn Capture (15:17).
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Lariat (17:16).

Masato Kamino is the last man standing afer winning three matches in the 1-Day Tournament. All of his opponents were former Union MAX Champions too. He beat Isami Kodaka clean in Round 1, survived FUMA’s Crossface Lock to roll him up for a pinfall in Round 2 and outlasted Ryota Nakatsu with a Lariat to the back of the head in the final. The tournament was Kamino’s idea in the first place and he received praise from Takato Nakano (who also beat a former champion in Takumi Tsukamoto before getting eliminated by Nakatsu) for winning it.

Kamino told the fans he wants to get his MAX Title shot at the last BASARA show of the year. Suddenly Minoru Fujita entered the room to everyone’s surprise because he was already wrestling in Shinjuku FACE today. He got in the ring in a hurry and told Kamino they will have the title match at 29th December, which is what Kamino wanted anyway. Fujita wants to end the year with a successful title defence so he can say 2024 was his year from start to finish. Kamino shared a toast with him to confirm the match rather than go through a contract signing ceremony.

Itsuki Aoki now has the distinction of being the first woman to wrestle in BASARA. Her Shawn Capture leader Ikuto Hidaka won their match by using, what else, the Shawn Capture for the submission victory.

HiSPC 6th Anniversary, BASARA 1 Day Tournament, Akiyama Vs Naya

November 18, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Wakana Uehara, Kira Shummer & Chika Nanase Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Mizuki & Kaya Toribami Vs Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino
4. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto
5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Toga Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

The winner of the Next Generation Tournament will get a title match of their choice as the prize. Miu Watanabe is currently waiting to see who will emerge as her 4th January Princess Of Princess Title opponent. 121000000 are also currently without any contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles in Japan. The timing of the final taking place beneath an International Princess Title main event is notable too. It could be a big day for Toga or Haru Kazashiro to win the tournament final and then reappear at the end of the show to call out one of the champions.

The other six wrestlers who competed in the tournament will be taking part in a 6-Woman Tag Match.

Both Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku debuted in November 2018 so they are celebrating their anniversaries together in the same match. Mahiro Kiryu is from the same class as them (HiSPC) but didn’t debut until February 2019. The other two members from that class were YUMI (retired) and Himawari Unagi (now known as Sayaka Unagi).

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Demus & Ilusion Vs To-y & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Kazuki Hirata 37th Birthday Special 1 Vs 7 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Soma Takao, Yuki Iino, Diego & Yuki Ishida
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
7. DDT Extreme Title – You’re Still A Cinderella As You Climb The Ladder To Adulthood Rules: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Yuni

The DDT Extreme Title match will periodically go into “Cinderella Time” where Danshoku Dieno will be instantly disqualified if he does any of his Danshoku moves on Yuni. When “Cinderella Time” is inactive, Dieno is allowed to wrestle like he normally does. The match must have a winner and cannot be called off as a No Contest.

The next SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A battle will now have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is no longer part of the Dieno Vs Yuni match because Kazuki Hirata is now the latest champion. That means he will likely defend it in the 7-on-1 Handicap Match.

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~”, 29/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1A: Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1B: Isami Kodaka Vs Masato Kamino
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Winner Of Match 1A
4. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: FUMA Vs Winner Of Match 1B
5. Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: X Vs X

It looks like BASARA could not find room on the schedule this year to run their annual Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. So we have to do with a one day tournament to crown the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title instead after a bunch of the roster all argued that they should get the next shot.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”, 28/12/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. O-MENZ Kumadori Debut Match: Kumadori Vs X
2. Haruto Sakuraba Debut Match: Haruto Sakuraba Vs X
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes Vs Daisuke Sasaki

A mighty challenge awaits Yukio Naya in the heavyweight division. He thinks he is ready to fight Jun Akiyama one on one again! Their only previous singles match together was back in 2020 on a Bakuha Koshien show, which Akiyama won. Akiyama thinks Sumo Hall is the best place to host the rematch.

BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~” Results

November 17, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~”, 17/11/2024
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. FUMA defeated Takeru Inoue with a Stretch Muffler Hold (10:57).
2. 4 Way Match: Daiki Shimomura defeated Daichi Kazato, Yasu Urano and Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:48).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated KUBITO with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:18).
4. Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ryuichi Sekine with La Magistral Cradle (11:17).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Kamino pinned SAGAT with the Lariat (17:24).

After the main event Masato Kamino declared himself the next challenger for the Union MAX Title. However several other wrestlers came out and argued one by one that they should get the title shot instead. Rather than have a Battle Royal to determine the No.1 Contender, Kamino came up with the idea of doing a one day tournament on 29th November. Kamino, Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano, Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka and FUMA are the six wrestlers taking part. Lil’ Kraken also wanted to get involved but everyone else rejected him.

BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~” Results

October 11, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~”, 11/10/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano defeated Takeru Inoue with a Step-up Enzuigiri (8:15).
2. 2 Vs 4 Handicap Match: FUMA & Gouma Ryu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & KUBITO when Ryu pinned Hiroshi with a Diving Body Press (12:47).
3. Masato Kamino & Yusuke Kodama defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Kamino pinned Kodaka with the Lariat (9:07).
4. Billy Ken Kid defeated Daichi Kazato with a Cradle (12:37).
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Modified Samson Clutch (22:21).
*V7 for Minoru Fujita.

It was around four years and eight months ago when Masahiro Takanashi defended the Union MAX Title against Minoru Fujita. It would be the last successful defence of his reign and he would lose the belt a month later by getting injured during his next title match. He never felt like he was beaten for the belt. Fujita meanwhile has been carrying the defeat to Takanashi ever since it happened and wanted the chance to exorcise it. So today’s match was an important title match for both wrestlers. Takanashi can regain the MAX Title and continue from where he was cut off or Fujita beats him properly and avenges his defeat from 2020. Either way Takanashi came to BASARA to finally get some closure.

The match was a bitter fight and Fujita even admitted out loud he waited four years for this. He did the Tombstone Piledriver but Takanashi kicked out of it. Fujita then countered the Takatonic and went for another Tombstone but it was turned into a Cradle for a nearfall. The two wrestlers kept countering Cradle moves on each other until Fujita pinned down Takanashi with the Modified Samson Clutch for the three count. Fujita said he worked really hard for this win which is why he is really happy about it. He and Takanashi now both have one win against each other. Takanashi said they could settle their score with a drinking contest in the ring. The two did just that with Takanashi finishing his drink before Fujita could. Fujita called Takanashi an irreplaceable friend who is always there for him. Also Fujita now has the record for most MAX Title defences in a single reign.

Daichi Kazato tried using a lot of unusual rolling moves to confuse Billy Ken Kid but in the end Kid was able to roll Kazato onto his shoulders and pin him down for the victory.

Even though Isami Kodaka lost to Masato Kamino he asked him for a UWA World Tag Team Titles shot after the match. Kodaka also said Hideyoshi Kamitani will be his partner because they haven’t teamed together in a while. Kamino accepted the challenge for 22nd October and said Aijin Tag won’t lose to a hastily made team.

At the start of the show FUMA and Gouma Ryu started talking about their careers outside of wrestling (hunter and lawyer respectively) and started getting along even though they were supposed to be opponents later. KUBITO then called Ryu a part-time wrestler which Ryu found insulting. FUMA & Ryu both wouldn’t stand for it so they decided to change their 6-Man Tag Match into a Handicap match. The two of them were now teaming up against the other four wrestlers! During the match Ryu kept getting ganged up on by his opponents and FUMA got tired of saving him. FUMA walked out of the match leaving Ryu to fight by himself. Through sheer luck Ryu fought off his opponents and climbed the top rope to hit a big finish on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. FUMA then reappeared at the entrance armed with his hunting rifle and he shot Ryu. Ryu ended up falling on top of Hiroshi anyway and scored the pinfall.
