BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~” Results

March 9, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Goregrind (8:27).
2. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga when KUBITO submitted Ryu with a Crossface Lock (7:24).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (12:42).
4. Masato Kamino & Chicharito Shoki defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Kamino pinned Judomaster with the Lariat (14:54).
5. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (18:52).

2024 could be the year Sento Minzoku is back on top of the BASARA mountain. Minoru Fujita is currently the Union MAX Champion and the result of today’s main event could lead to the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles coming back to him too. Isami Kodaka pinned Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and told Fujita he wants the two of them to challenge Harimao for the titles. Nakatsu complained that Fujita shouldn’t have to be Kodaka’s partner and Ryuichi Sekine should do it instead. However he eventually agreed to put the belts on the line against Fujita & Kodaka. Kazusada Higuchi’s next BASARA appearance is on 19th March but Fujita is already defending the Union MAX Title on 19th March on that show. He refuses to wrestle twice, especially if it is in two championship matches back to back. They all think Higuchi will be available to wrestle in BASARA again on 20th April so they will do the title match there unless they got Higuchi’s schedule wrong.

Sekine announced he will be back to wrestling on a regular schedule with BASARA starting from next month. He made it a goal to work his way into becoming a champion again.

Yesterday BASARA reported that Takato Nakano had a fever but tested negative for covid. They decided to pull him from the show as a precaution and brought in Chicharito Shoki to replace him. If that wasn’t enough, it was announced that the love sickness Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is suffering from has gotten worse so he couldn’t wrestle today either. The masked Judomaster was suspiciously in the venue again to take his place for the second show in a row. He seemed to have a better understanding of pro wrestling this time but still lost to Masato Kamino.

Today is the first time Gouma Ryu wrestled in Takashimadaira Kumin Center for a BASARA show. He thought he was taking part in another Pro Wrestling Trial but Banana Senga forgot to bring his outfit. They held a court session arguing whether or not injuring your opponent in a pro wrestling match should be a crime. They told KUBITO and Yasu Urano to wrestle each other in order to provide evidence. None of their actions injured either of them so the referee/judge declared them Not Guilty. Ryu did not accept the result and convinced Senga to fight the other two. KUBITO & Urano quickly beat them.

A Great Kaiju War has been added to “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” and it might be too much for Kyoraku Kyomei to handle.

Tokyo Joshi Pro describes the pairing as “Super Miracle Beast Power Combination” of the Reiwa era! Are they going to be as uncontrollable a tag team as Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody were?

Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuki Ishida is the only D GENERATIONS CUP match taking place on this show that has something on the line. Nakamura needs to win to stay in the B Block race. Kazuma Sumi Vs Ilusion has nothing but pride on the line for those two.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/02/2023

6. Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Arai Vs Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto

A few team names to learn off the undercard. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku are MagiRabi Express. They’ve teamed together under that name before. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu are Toyo happy. I think that’s a new one. Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Arisu Endo are DraDaisy Mon (short for Dragon Daisy Monkey). Somehow Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami are the only trio not with a special name attached to them. Unless Kyoraku Kyomei + Toribami counts as a name.

Should they remain the champions coming out of that show then this will be their next scheduled title defence. Even if they lose the titles, they are guaranteed to face Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh at “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”.

Billie Starkz returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro. What will the likes of NEO Biishiki-gun think of her?

BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~” Results

June 21, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~”, 21/06/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Senga pinned Hiroshi with the Toque de Espaldas (13:27).
*V5 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (20:24).
*Ryota Nakatsu fails in V7. Isami Kodaka becomes the 17th Union MAX Champion!

The Union MAX Title belongs to Isami Kodaka once more! He brought Ryota Nakatsu’s dominant reign to an end with an unexpected use of a Fire Thunder Driver to set up not one, not two but three Diving Knee Drops in a row. It’s been four years since Kodaka last held the title and he isn’t eager to risk losing it so quickly. He announced he will not put the title on the line against Yuko Miyamoto for his 20th Anniversary match at Korakuen Hall on 18th July. The upcoming match is what inspired him to use the Fire Thunder today and he promises the match will be the culmination of Yankee Two Kenju.

Speed Of Sounds defended the IRON FIST Tag Titles while wearing homemade robot helmets and acting like RoboCop.

Chicharito Shoki got the win against Lil’ Kraken out of nowhere with the Torvezino Clutch. Kraken got angry over the result and attacked Shoki after the match forcing the two to be pulled apart.

At the start of the show Yusuke Kubo came out, making his first public appearance in BASARA since he was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis back in March. Kubo announced his return match will be on 10th July and he will be using a new name to mark the occasion. Yusuke Kubo is now called KUBITO! He explained it is sort of like the Mexican version of calling him “Kubo-chan”. The origin of the name comes from his time staying in Mexico when the landlady of the place he stayed in always called him “Kubito”.


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.
