*Chris Brookes becomes the 1st BK-G Openweight Champion!

Back in December Chris Brookes made a promise. If he was to successfully defend the KO-D Openweight Title at DDT’s end of the year Sumo Hall show then he will start defending the belt inside ARENA Shimokitazawa. He won that match and wanted to live up to his word at today’s first Baka Gaijin + Friends show of the year. He wanted to do it, Ram Kaichow wanted to have the title match and Daisuke Kiso was ready to let it happen. However a drunk Yukinori Matsui stepped in and stopped it from taking place. He expected something like this was going to happen and he could not let a championship as important as the KO-D Title be defended here. But since Brookes and Kaichow wanted to have a title match so badly, Matsui and Mic Inoue brought along something for them to fight over. It is a homemade title belt called the BK-G Openweight Championship!

Now that a championship match was taking place after all, Matsui and Inoue instantly sobered up to officiate and announce a match that would determine the first ever BK-G Champion. Kaichow blocked the Praying Mantis Bomb and got a nearfall with a Choke Slam. Masahiro Takanashi tried to interfere but it backfired, causing him and Brookes to argue with each other. Kaichow threw Ectoplasm at them but they ducked and Matsui got blinded instead. Kaichow fought off CDK with more Ectoplasm and hit Brookes with the Rainmaker. However Matsui was too blind to see Kaichow pinning Brookes with the Onryo Clutch. Kaichow slapped the sight back into him but left herself vulnerable to a High Kick from Brookes. She kicked out of the Somato but Brookes finally put her away with the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the new title!

How do you do a match to celebrate Antonio Honda’s 20th Anniversary without having Honda there to take part? You send MAO out there dressed in Honda’s gear and have him wrestle as Antonio Honda XL! MAO used many of Honda’s tricks against Hagane Shinno from calling time outs to injuring his knee and telling Gongitsune jokes. When all of that stuff was out of the way, the two traded cradles and nearfalls until the time limit expired. MAO and Shinno raised each other’s hands after the match and left the room together shoulder to shoulder.

Takayuki Ueki was given a surprise opponent in the form of Hideki Suzuki! Ueki requested the match be Best 3 Out Of 5 Falls but immediately lost the first to falls to a Sleeper Hold. Knowing that he can’t beat him in a wrestling match, Ueki then challenged Suzuki to a Push Sumo fight for the 3rd fall. Suzuki easily beat him again. However he didn’t want to let Ueki leave like this so he agreed to fight him for the remaining two falls and if Ueki won the remaining falls he would be declared the winner outright. They decided the 4th Fall would be a game of Jenga but Ueki even lost at that. Fed up with losing, Ueki declared the 5th fall would be a proper wrestling match worth 100 points! Then as soon as the bell rang Ueki pulled out his gun and threatened Suzuki with it. Suzuki went along with Ueki’s demands until he got close enough to disarm him. But Ueki pulled out another gun and we suddenly got a standoff! Ueki shot Suzuki’s gun out of his hand and got cocky, allowing Suzuki to get his gun back and suddenly hold Ueki at gunpoint! Ueki lost his nerve and gave up. When he tried to give a speech after the match, Suzuki shot him in his limbs and walked off.

The opening match saw the return of ChieDK. Takanashi was teaming with Chie Koishikawa which meant Koishikawa got to be Chie Brookes again! Mr. Malo brought a glass bottle to the fight late in the match but Munetatsu Nakamura stopped him from using it as a weapon. Takanashi grabbed the bottle off him but Chie too didn’t want him to swing it at the opponents. Malo and Chie fought over the bottle and Malo ended up physically forcing Chie to smash it over Takanashi’s head. He then rolled up Chie with a School Boy to get the three count.

At the end of the show everyone sang Happy Birthday to Takanashi, MAO and Kiso because they all have birthdays coming soon. Ueki then told them his birthday had already happened (3rd January) so Brookes let him close out the show.

The next Baka Gaijin show will be on 4th March.
