The second show was built around a team challenge with Lil’ Kraken and the injured Takeru Inoue were the captains. Whichever team had the most match wins at the end would win the challenge. It came down to the last match but that got called off when everyone ran to ringside and brawled with each other. The referee Yuya Okada decided to turn the match into a 14-Man Tag Match and Kraken’s team ended up winning.

BASARA “BASARA 217 ~TAKAGARI 16~” Results

April 30, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 217 ~TAKAGARI 16~”, 30/04/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Kamino pinned Kazato with the Lariat (10:08).
2. Masahiro Takanashi defeated KUBITO with an STF (13:14).
3. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
4. Shota defeated FUMA with the Gannosuke Clutch (12:13).
5. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe (21:45).
5a. Ryota Nakatsu eliminated Fuminori Abe by Ring Out (2:47).
5b. Fuminori Abe eliminated Ryota Nakatsu by Ring Out (3:08).
5c. Takumi Tsukamoto and SAGAT eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (7:28).
5d. Akiyori Takizawa eliminated Takumi Tsukamoto by Ring Out (9:18).
5e. Akiyori Takizawa eliminated Yasu Urano after the Big Mac (21:45).

The main event turned into a mess because of a referee bump. Yuya Okada got knocked out so Atsushi Ishiguro ran out as the replacement. However he missed the earlier eliminations in the match so the eliminated wrestlers were able to convince him they were still active participants. Then Okada recovered which caused more confusion between the two referees. That explains why it says above that some of the wrestlers were eliminated twice. Even then the wrestlers stuck around to stay involved in the match after they were eliminated. All of Sparky worked together to hit the Big Mac to get the win in the end.

Shota was FUMA’s mystery opponent. It was teased right before the show that the opponent was somebody who was wrestling in BASARA for the first time in years. He last wrestled here in 2018.

After the opening match Daichi Kazato told Aijin Tag who their challengers for the IRON FIST Tag Titles on 13th May are going to be. He’s not getting involved though. Instead he said it’s Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Antonio Honda!

MUSASHI from Michinoku Pro will be making his BASARA debut on 17th June.

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
Shinjuku FACE

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

3. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
4. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka

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

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

The main event was turned into a Handicap Elimination match because of Shimomura’s absence. Akiyori Takizawa took SAGAT’s place in Match #2 and the opening tag match was switched to a singles match with the remaining wrestlers.

Referee Yuya Okada also tested positive during the week and was not at the show. Freelance ref Daisuke Kanbayashi (previously from WRESTLE-1 and All Japan) filled in for him.

BASARA Update, Usui Leaving Wrestling For Now, Tomorrow’s Match Orders

November 28, 2020

There is an update from BASARA over the members who went into self-quarantine this week. Earlier in the week Daiki Shimomura, Tetsuo Usui and Yuya Okada were in close contact with a person who was suspected to have Coronavirus (it’s not Yasu Urano, he is a separate case). This person has since reported that their PCR test came back negative and the people mentioned above are all free to return. Shimomura and Okada have ended their self-quarantine. Usui has as well but he also decided to take a break from pro wrestling. Usui also works in a welfare facility outside of his wrestling career. He had permission from BASARA and his other job to do both pro wrestling and social work but COVID-19 has made balancing those two parts of his life difficult. After this week’s scare, he made the decision to take a break from wrestling until the epidemic is over.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2020 ~30TH ANNIVERSARY OF CURRENT BLAST~”, 29/11/2020
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Ricky Fuji Vs Gota Ihashi
2. Mizuki Watase Vs Maku Donaruto
3. Yuna Manase Vs Ayumi Hayashi
4. Rikidozan III Vs Taiho III: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yukio Naya & Hoshitango Imachi
5. First In History! Air Time Bomb & Current Blast Bat x 3 Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Mecha Pandita & Rambo Kawamura Vs Takashi Sugiura, NOSAWA Rongai & Hidetaka Monma

Here’s the match order tomorrow. The show should end up being quick and to the point. They’re here for the explosions so no point keeping them waiting for long.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 IN OSAKA!”, 29/11/2020
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

-. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: HARASHIMA (6) defeated Daisuke Sasaki (2) by Forfeit.
1. Antonio Honda Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Blow Away The D-Ou GP 2021 From The DDT Variety Team!: HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Kazusada Higuchi (3) Vs Soma Takao (4)
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Makoto Oishi (2) Vs Jun Akiyama (2)
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Tetsuya Endo (5) Vs Yuki Ueno (2)
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Yukio Sakaguchi (4) Vs MAO (2)
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita (2) Vs Chris Brookes (4)

HARASHIMA is currently on top of the A Block but he already got his points from tomorrow’s forfeit. Yukio Sakaguchi and Chris Brookes can catch up to him. Over in the B Block there will be a DAMNATION wrestler in first place after tomorrow’s show. If Tetsuya Endo loses he may have to share the spot with his enemy Kazusada Higuchi. But if Higuchi loses to Soma Takao then Takao could leapfrog over Endo.
