2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu

Isami Kodaka has single victories over both Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo which is enough to earn a KO-D Tag Team Title match. He and Ryota Nakatsu can bring another title into BASARA before its debut show.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ikuto Hidaka
2. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Daisuke Sekimoto
3. Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs FUMA & Daichi Kazato

The big mystery I have about BASARA is what FUMA’s role will be. The leader of King Legion had until now been quiet about his participation with the new brand. He told Kodaka at “NEW YEAR LOTTERY SPECIAL! 2016” that he will not stay quiet when the show takes place and he intends to crush him.

Nakatsu is honored to face Ikuto Hidaka in the opener. It is the perfect match for him to wrestle his own way without any limits.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “A GIRL’S COUNTERATTACK”, 07/11/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
180 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Ai Shimizu defeated Shoko Nakajima and MIZUHO when Shimixu pinned MIZUHO with the Fishergirl Bomb (4:59).
2. KANNA, Nonoko & Akane Miura defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Azusa Takigawa when KANNA pinned Yamashita with the Spear Of Versailles (8:51).
3. Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao defeated Erin & Rika Tatsumi when Akamiya pinned Tatsumi with the Two Stage Face Kick (8:29).
4. Right To 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Title Appearance Battle Royal: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nonoko with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:51).
Order Of Elimination: Azusa Takigawa, Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi, Ai Shimizu, KANNA, MIZUHO, Erin, Akane Miura, Yuka Sakazaki and Nonoko.

Shoko Nakajima is back in the 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Pro Title match after she won the main event Battle Royal. In her victory speech she said when she lost the first spot in the match she considered giving up, but she never gives up! It looks like Nakajima’s place in the match is guaranteed unlike her opponent’s.

KANNA’s resurgence in Tokyo Joshi Pro continued with a pinfall win over Miyu Yamashita in the 6-Woman Tag match. Yamashita nominated KANNA as her next opponent with the title match spot on the line. KANNA said her time spent in Biishiki-gun has taught her everything she needs to beat Yamashita.

At the beginning of the show Sanshiro Takagi called out Saki Akamiya so he could confront Tokyo Joshi’s newest evil force. Akamiya came out with Hyper Misao by her side. She called Takagi an old man and said her goal is to take over Tokyo Joshi and change it to her liking. She tried to attack Takagi with her yoyo amulet but Takagi caught it. He struck Akamiya’s iron mask with the yoyo, splitting it in half. The iron mask fell apart and Akamiya was revealed to be Saki Akai! She said this was the first time she ever felt the wind touch her cheeks. Hyper Misao told Takagi that Saki Akamiya is not the same person as Saki Akai. Takagi kicked her away and said he doesn’t believe it. Misao insisted she was telling the truth and promised Takagi that they will protect Tokyo Joshi from any mighty enemy. Misao handed Akamiya a pair of leather gloves to signify their new alliance. Later in the show they defeated Erin & Rika Tatsumi. Akamiya said she is still a villain who exploits people’s weaknesses. Takagi also gave Misao an apple and some marbles for some reason before kicking her again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA DASH”, 18/07/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao & MIZUHO when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (9:10).
2. Saki Akai & KANNA defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi when KANNA pinned Tatsumi with the Spear Of Versailles (11:28).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu with a LAriat (7:24).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nonoko with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:43).

The Tokyo Princess Cup continued with the remaining first round matches. Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu, eliminating one of the two Biishiki-gun wrestlers from the tournament. Shoko Nakajima scored a big upset by eliminating last year’s winner Nonoko in the main event. The semi-final draw took place at the end of the show. The matches taking place on 8th August are Miyu Yamashita Vs Akane Miura and KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima.

Rika Tatsumi (formerly Ririko Kendo) returned from injury and had her first match in over 14 months. However her teamwork with Yuka Sakazaki did not work out as planned. She gave Sakazaki a Facebuster from the top rope with the intention of slamming her into KANNA but KANNA rolled out of the way. Saki Akai took out Sakazaki at ringside with a Running PK from the apron while KANNA picked up the win with the Spear Of Versailles on Tatsumi. In the post-match interview Tatsumi said the match was fun and she was happy her return ended safely. She admitted her fear of getting injured again may have effected her performance.

Five months into their wrestling careers, Hyper Misao & MIZUHO teamed up again for the first time since their débuts. The newly named Hero & Sexy team wanted to defeat Miyu Yamashita in a handicap match. Doing so would make them the double aces of Tokyo Joshi according to Misao. At one point they put Yamashita in a lewd position with Misao applying a Wheelbarrow Stretch and forcing Yamashita into a Stinkface from MIZUHO. However a backfired Lariat allowed Yamashita to turn the tables and pin Misao.

This lead to Ogasawara challenging both teams to a 3 Way Tag Match which might be too much for his new protégé Ryu Gouma to handle.

4. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Madoka

A stipulation yet to be decided will be added to the Union Sekigun Vs King Legion 6-Man Tag.

Kazuhiko Ogasawara sent a letter to Union explaining he has taken Ryu Gouma under his wing. He calls Gouma an idiot who people laugh at but if he learns Karate he could beat people that are 7 and even 8 feet tall! The letter ends with Ogasawara saying the time has come for Karate-gun’s revival! Karate-gun was Union’s first enemy faction when the brand was re-established in 2005. The infamous feud featured Ogasawara fighting Poison Sawada in a Scorpion Death Match and later a Toxic Barbed Wired Board Death Match. I don’t think the same will happen here with Gouma.

???????????????????????????????

DDT “FURIMUKEBA YOKOHAMA 2015 SPRING”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
426 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Gota Ihashi (c) with a Rope Assisted Pin (3:55).
*D4 for Gota Ihashi.
1. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake when HARASHIMA pinned Miyatake with the Somato (18:39).
2. Danshoku Dino & DJ Nira defeated Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI when Dino pinned MIKAMI with the Nenbutsu Danshoku Driver (6:37).
3. Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata when Oishi pinned Katsumata with the Miracle Ecstasy (10:07).
4. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kota Umeda with the 19 Years Old (13:23).
5. Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO & Masa Takanashi when Honda pinned Takanashi with a Cradle (12:19).
6. Kazuki Hirata Tokyo GO Numbers Game – 2nd Round: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Skewered Jumping Knee (9:29).
7. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Daisuke Sekimoto, Yuji Okabayashi & Kazuki Hashimoto when Irie pinned Hashimoto with the Beast Bomber (21:23).

The build-up over the KO-D Tag Team Titles is getting tense. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie scored a victory over the champions with the help of Tomomitsu Matsunaga taking the place of an injured Soma Takao. Ishii & Irie praised the strength of Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi but they said they will absolutely take the belts from them. Okabayashi warned that the challengers will be crushed soon enough.

Yukio Sakaguchi wore the HIRATA GO glasses and used the power of the music to punch and kick Kazuki Hirata unconscious.

After Hiroshi Fukuda avoided a dark fate by winning the King Of Dark Title Match, Amon Tsurumi asked if he had gotten a chance to speak to Barack Obama about when to cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Fukuda said it is a sensitive issue and he will cash in at an appropriate time. So don’t miss it!

Turned out the appropriate time was halfway through the show. Fukuda declared his cash in and was ready for Kota Ibushi! Unfortunately Ibushi was no longer in the building. His match took place at the beginning of the show and he was allowed to leave early so he could prepare for his IWGP Heavyweight Title match in New Japan tomorrow. Fukuda asked who was more important, himself or AJ Styles? Tsurumi said probably Styles. Fukuda then claimed he will cash in his contract tomorrow after the New Japan show. He was told he can’t because DDT is not running any shows tomorrow. Fukuda gave up and asked when is the next DDT show taking place in or near Tokyo. That would be 19th April in Kasukabe Hall. Fukuda said that date will be hard for him to do but he did not rule it out.

Akito nominated Daisuke Sasaki as the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. Sasaki defeated Akito by submission when they last fought each other one on one. That only took place back in March. The rematch will take place on 19th April.

In the battle of the 19 year olds, Konosuke Takeshita pinned Kota Umeda with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. To mark the occassion Takeshita’s Brainbuster will now be called the 19 Years Old much like how Genichiro Tenryu named his Brainbuster the 53 Years Old.

Danshoku Dino channelled the spirit of Jinsei Shinzaki for his tag match. He wore a similar pilgrim costume and performed a couple of Shinzaki’s taunts and spots including the rope walk.

One day before his IWGP Title Match, Kota Ibushi sent a message to AJ Styles by using the Styles Clash… on his own tag team partner? Ibushi came up with the bright idea of turning the Styles Clash into a double team move, doing it to Suguru Miyatake on top of HARASHIMA. However HARASHIMA recovered and hit the Somato on Miyatake to win the match for Smile Squash. HARASHIMA wished Ibushi luck for tomorrow and to be ready for their KO-D Openweight Title match on 29th April.

Shibata fought dirty at the start of his bout with Super Tiger. He refused to shake hands and instead immediately locked in a Front Neck Lock. Super Tiger calmly escaped from the hold and kicked the hell out of Shibata until the referee stopped him.


Soma Injured, Max Bump Matches, Golden Roses For Union

March 31, 2015

DDT “FURIMUKEBA YOKOHAMA 2015 SPRING”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
1. Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI Vs Danshoku Dino & DJ Nira
2. Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata
3. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kota Umeda
4. Kazuki Hirata Tokyo GO Numbers Game – 2nd Round: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
5. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
6. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Yuji Okabayashi & Kazuki Hashimoto

There were two injuries coming out of “JUDGEMENT 2015” this past weekend. Soma Takao suffered an ankle injury and is unable to wrestle until 10th April at the earliest. Kota Ibushi sprained his middle and ring finger on his right hand but won’t miss any shows.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 1”, 19/04/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

Tetsuya Endo cashes in his boobie prize from the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Royal Rumble. I bet he’ll be glad to get rid of it.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Two months after “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” we get the rematch of the main event, unless somebody successfully cashes in their Ring To Challenge Contract. I mean it’s not like anybody in DDT watched Wrestlemania on Sunday and a lightbulb suddenly flashed over their head during the big main event angle… Anyway, the current contract holders are Yasu Urano, Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazusada Higuchi and Antonio Honda. Like last year wrestlers can lose the contract if they are pinned or submitted during any match in Japan.

There was one contract left unclaimed in the Right To Challenge Rumble. Another Battle Royal will decide who gets it. What it is for exactly won’t be known until the match is over.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – 3 Way Match: Cherry (c) Vs Aoi Ishibashi Vs Hibiscus Mii
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
3. Union MAX Title – 1,000 Rose Death Match: FUMA (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

FUMA’s ego has grown as quickly as his rise to the top in Union. So much so that he is willing to fight Shuji Ishikawa in a 1,000 Rose Death Match, a stipulation that has not been used in a year.

Hibiscus Mii (formerly Apple Miyuki) answered the call when Union went searching for someone to be in the Fly To Everywhere Title 3 Way Match.
