May 23, 2023

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FIVE: THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL”, 23/05/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Hyper Misao with a Death Valley Driver through a Plastic Box (12:10).
2. Special Single Match: Takayuki Ueki defeated Mecha Mummy with a Falling Headbutt (4:58).
3. Special Tag Team Match: MAO & Mei Suruga defeated Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno when MAO & Mei Suruga pinned Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno after the Hair Of The Dog (12:13).
4. Special Single Match: Drew Parker defeated Masahiro Takanashi with a Somato (16:28).

Drew Parker and Masahiro Takanashi had their first ever singles match together to main event the latest Baka Gaijin + Friends show. Unlike previous main events from the group, this one stayed almost entirely inside the tiny little mat in the centre of the room. Other than a moment when Parker Dropkicked Takanashi into a fan it was a match of oneupmanship rather than a crazy brawl. Parker did a Swanton Bomb from a stepstool but Takanashi kicked out so he hit a Somato to get the win.

The silliness was more on show in the tag team match. MAO & Mei Suruga joined forces to fight Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno, the pairing also known as Egg Tart. Both Suruga and Koishikawa were put in uncomfortable positions after getting trapped in different objects. Koishikawa got tangled up inbetween stepstool legs. Shinno then came up with an idea to put Suruga sitting through the frame of an upside down stool and then placing her on top of Koishikawa. That way MAO and Shinno could fight each other without the women getting in the way. Koishikawa remained trapped in her stepstool until MAO put her in an Ankle Lock. She slipped out of the stool and freed herself from MAO’s submission. The match then split apart into two fights in opposite sides of the room. They all met back in the middle and kept the match going until MAO & Suruga used a combined cradle combination to pin both members of Egg Tart at the same time.

Mecha Mummy made a rare appearance for its first pro wrestling match in years. It looked a little shorter than the last time we saw him but it could still frantically shake its fists at everything. Takayuki Ueki’s solution to fighting Mummy and its rocket fist was to pull out his gun and pull the trigger. However the bullet ricocheted off of Mummy’s chest plate and hit Daisuke Kiso instead! Mummy readied its fist and was about to deliver a finishing blow to Ueki when suddenly Hyper Misao ran out to rescue him! Misao shot Mummy with an electrified bow and arrow, causing Mummy to short circuit. Ueki Heabutted it to the ground, then placed the Rocket Fist over his head to drop another Falling Headbutt. A wounded Kiso slowly counted the pin to give Ueki the victory. Mummy’s system rebooted and it took out an antidote to heal Kiso’s bullet wound. Kiso lost briefly lost consciousness but jumped back to his feet to give this story a happy ending.

Misao’s match with Chris Brookes unexpectedly opened the show and the two of them almost tore the place apart with their fighting. Misao stapled advertising posters of her self-produced show “HYPE!” on Brookes’ arm and chest. Brookes got his own back by stapling a poster onto Misao’s head. He then took out some plastic boxes and tried to Suplex Misao onto them from the bar counter. But Misao backed him off and hit a Diving Cross Body, making Brookes land onto the boxes. Misao then brought out chairs and placed them out sideways. He sprayed Misao in the face and then Body Slammed him onto the chairs! Getting desperate, Misao took out a plastic toy mallet with firecrackers attached to it. She put a flame to the firecrackers and set them off but Brookes dodged her attack and smashed a plastic box over her head. He then got Kiso to put the firecrackers onto another box and set them alight while he put Misao through it with a Death Valley Driver for the three count.

Antonio Honda sung a few songs for the fans before the main event. He had musicians playing a guitar and a saxophone accompanying him.

An upset from the weekend saw Ganbare☆Pro’s rookie Munetatsu Nakamura pin Isami Kodaka in a 6-Man Tag Match. When Kodaka later asked Mizuki Watase for a title shot, he was turned down for that reason. Watase then came up with the idea to put Kodaka and Nakamura in a No. 1 Contender’s match to determine who he defends the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against at Ota Ward Gymnasium this July.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FOUR: WHEN GOOD DOGS DO BAD THINGS” Results

April 19, 2023

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FOUR: WHEN GOOD DOGS DO BAD THINGS”, 18/04/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
60 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Special Tag Team Match: Baliyan Akki & Sayaka defeated MAO & Chie Koishikawa when Akki pinned Koishikawa with the Labyrinth (14:22).
2. Special Single Match: Masashi Takeda defeated Death Worm with a Big Scissors Choke (9:26).
3. Special Tag Team Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Rina Yamashita & Drew Parker when Takanashi pinned Parker after the HOD (24:31).

Another month, another Baka Gaijin + Friends show that almost destroyed the venue. Drew Parker teamed up with Rina Yamashita to take on CDK in a main event that was not a death match but featured smashed plastic boxes and even firecrackers! Masahiro Takanashi set off the firecracker on top of a plastic box only to see Chris Brookes gets smashed through it instead of Parker. However Takanashi used his knees to block Parker’s Swanton Bomb from a stool. CDK then brought their opponents together and tied them up in The Hair Of The Dog to score the pinfall on Parker. After the match Parker asked Yamashita for a singles match some day down the line.

Death Worm’s opponent this month was Masashi Takeda. The death match wrestler attacked Worm with chairs and then took out his big pair of scissors. Right when he was about to use them, Takayuki Ueki interrupted the match telling Takeda he shouldn’t be fighting with Death Worm. Instead Ueki tried summoning the spirit of Death Worm to speak on its behalf. It took a few tries but Ueki got the message through, despite somehow sounding like Antonio Honda. Takeda and Worm hugged it out until Worm turned the hug into a Backslide Pin for a nearfall. Worm and Ueki teamed up to stab Takeda in the head with skewers. But Takeda rolled out of the way of Worm’s Body Press, attacked Ueki and pressed the scissors into Worm’s mouth until Worm gave up.

The opening match featured Chie Koishikawa, MAO dressed as Chie Koishikawa, Baliyan Akki dressed as Chie Koishikawa and Sayaka dressed as Chie Koishikawa.

The non-wrestling part of the show was a talent contest between Munenori Sawa and Antonio Honda. Sawa’s talent was drawing fruit while Honda sang a song. The fans couldn’t decide on a winner so the contest ended in a draw.

15. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yukio Naya

A press conference was held in Shinjuku today for some of the matches on the show. Yuki Ueno said he feels honored that an international superstar has come to Japan wanting to fight him. Samuray Del Sol said the one place he has not conquered is Japan. He first learned of DDT by seeing footage of El Generico wrestling Kota Ibushi there. He’s been watching and studying Ueno’s matches so is excited to be wrestling the best.

Konosuke Takeshita reminded everyone that he’s been with DDT for over ten years and the only person he hasn’t wrestled one on one is his boss Sanshiro Takagi. They have no choice but to finally do this match now. He has gratitude for Takagi and sees this as a match between a parent and their child. Takagi’s been a great father figure but the time has come to surpass him. Takagi said he wants to be in the best shape he can for the match. Some injuries have gotten in his way but he isn’t letting that be any excuse. He won’t let Takeshita move past him so easily and will do his best to crush him! Takeshita also said his experience in AEW has given him a hunger he couldn’t get in Japan because spots on their shows are so limited.

The “Super Powerhouse Tag Team” made themselves known while Super Sasadango Machine & Antonio Honda were being interviewed. The two men thought they were going to get Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima until they worked out that TenKoji’s schedule wouldn’t make it possible. Instead they are getting The Wasteland War Party! Both Sasadango & Honda were terrified by the appearance of Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer. The War Party left them laying on the floor with Headbutts. When Honda regained consciousness he began to cry. He thought he was getting a dream match but instead it’s going to be a nightmare!

Away from the press conference in a separate interview, Saki Akai talked about her upcoming match against Masahiro Takanashi. They had one previous singles match together in the 1st Round of the King Of DDT 2018. Takanashi won that match but for the rematch Akai warns there is a part of her that he does not know about. If she can tap into it tomorrow she can find a way to beat him. Then when that match is done Akai wants to focus on Eruption winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in order to push Hideki Okatani up to the next level. She has other plans to celebrate her 10 year anniversary later in the year. Yukio Sakaguchi taught her how to fight in the ring so she would like to face him in a match. She hopes Yoshiko will come back from her break some day for another match. Danshoku Dieno is another past opponent she wants to do a big match with again. She also suggested Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita and Sumire Natsu as potential future opponents for her in a DDT ring.

It wouldn’t be right if The Wasteland War Party went home without getting a chance to say goodbye to Pom Harajuku. I’m sure she appreciates it.

Shino Suzuki is having her first ever singles match. Suzume is her opponent.

The lineup for the King Of DDT 2023 will be revealed during this show.

BASARA “BASARA 214 ~KOO~”, 28/03/2023

The super obscure CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title held by Takumi Tsukamoto is being defended again in BASARA. Tsukamoto brought the belt into the company at the end of 2021. He’s defended it twice here but usually saves his title matches for other indies. SAGAT is his next challenger.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LOS ANGELES”, 31/03/2023
Globe Theatre, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Janai Kai
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
3. Hyper Misao & Trish Adora Vs Yuki Aino & Raku
4. Shoko Nakajima & Miu Watanabe Vs Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer
5. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Billie Starkz
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki

Some of the new champions making their first defences on the USA show. 121000000 Vs The Magical Sugar Rabbits in the main event now has the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line. Yuka Sakazaki wants to show everyone how much MagiRabi has powered up from fighting each other. Mizuki has the least experience wrestling overseas of the four but now she is the Princess Of Princess Champion she is not scared of any challenge. She’s also excited by the possibility of becoming the only person in TJPW to hold two Princess Titles at the same time. Miyu Yamashita believes the timing is right for 121000000 to beat MagiRabi on TJPW’s first USA show. Maki Itoh wants her American simps to know they are getting to see her TJPW form instead of the usual version they see from her previous appearances in the country.

Billie Starkz claims she was going to challenge the International Princess Champion no matter who it was coming out “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. That it happens to be her already scheduled opponent Rika Tatsumi made it a lot easier for her to get the title shot. With the match happening in America, Starkz will get to fight for the championship in front of her friends and family. The new champion Tatsumi has already begun changing her look to be more America-like (or “AmeRika”) in order to truly act like an international champion. She went to this press conference wearing sunglasses and drinking a cola. She isn’t worried about fighting Starkz in her home country because it is still happening on a TJPW show. That means Tatsumi still has the home field advantage.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION IN NIIGATA”, 16/04/2023
Niigata Bandaijima Multi-Purpose Plaza

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki, Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs Joey Janela, Sanshiro Takagi & Takeshi Masada

According to Atsushi Onita he paid 400,000 yen to trademark the Current Blast Death Match. Rather than trying to buy it off him, Sanshiro Takagi would rather take it by force. He still wants DDT to take ownership of the trademark and is joining forces with Joey Janela to do it. Janela has made it his number one goal during his latest tour of Japan to destroy his hero Onita in an exploding death match. Takagi also picked Takeshi Masada to be their tag partner, thinking this kind of dangerous atmosphere is just what the super rookie has been missing. Onita has his DDO allies Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima backing him up. If their winning ways continue then Onita has promised to create a new Current Blast 6-Man Tag Team Championhip as something new for them to fight for!

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FOUR: WHEN GOOD DOGS DO BAD THINGS”, 18/04/2023

2. Special Tag Team Match: Sayaka & Baliyan Akki Vs MAO & Chie Koishikawa

Rina Yamashita and Masashi Takeda are the next guests to join in the Baka Gaijin party. Also Baliyan Akki & Sayaka will together wrestle their first match on one of these shows. It’s about time Akki wrestled on one of them. Maybe Chris Brookes & Drew Parker will do the camera work and commentary for his match.

“BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS VOL. THREE” Results

March 7, 2023

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. THREE: SECRET OF THE OOZE”, 07/03/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
50 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. WTF?! Tag Team Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Drew Parker & Death Worm when Kei pinned Worm with a Stake Attack To The Mouth (9:30).
2. Special Tag Team Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Mei Suruga defeated MAO & Chie Koishikawa when Suruga pinned Koishikawa with an Inside Cradle (12:22).
3. Special Singles Match: Chris Brookes defeated Maya Yukihi with the Praying Mantis Bomb (14:09).

The third Baka Gaijin + Friends caused a little more damage to ARENA Shimokitazawa than the previous ones. During the main event Chris Brookes and Maya Yukihi fought by the bar and treated the counter like a top turnbuckle to do diving moves off of. Brookes was pretty much too tall to do that and hit the chandelier hanging from the ceiling as he jumped off the counter. That broke the lights and caused that corner of the room to go dark! Brookes ended up recovering and beat Yukihi with the Praying Mantis Bomb after she kicked out of a Tombstone and a Tiger Driver.

Just like on the first show, Chie Koishikawa went full Chris Brookes cosplay for her tag match. MAO wore a costume too, pretending to be Baliyan Akki. This caused Masahiro Takanashi to attack both of them for being fakes. The real Akki got involved in the match to help Mei Suruga deal with MAO. Suruga then got to pin Koishikawa with an Inside Cradle for a three count.

The Brahman Brothers complained about having little room to wrestle in. They eventually found enough space to do their usual bowling ball spot. Death Worm did well to fight against them until it suddenly stopped moving. Takayuki Ueki explained it was Death Worm’s feeding time but The Brahmans stopped him from giving Worm its food. Drew Parker came to the rescue and gave Worm a sausage to eat, powering it back up. Parker grabbed a can of beer and went to hit The Brahmans with it. He missed and the can ended up hitting Worm in the mouth, making it drink enough beer to get drunk! The Brahmans then stuck a large wooden stake into Worm’s mouth and bashed it with a traffic sign. It knocked out Death Worm long enough to get pinned.

Whoever said Lingerie Muto had retired was wrong because his spot in the show was an open challenge for a fight! He looked out among the crowd for any takers, causing everyone to notice Will Ospreay sitting at the back of the room with Aussie Open. Muto then noticed Takeshi Masada next to them but Masada didn’t want to get into trouble with DDT if he accepted. Muto realised he could not wrestle anybody in the room under contract to a wrestling company so he instead randomly picked a female fan named Inoue to be his opponent. The fan overpowered Muto in a Test Of Strength. Muto climbed the bar counter wanting to do the Moonsault but had second thoughts and stepped down. Muto then got the fan on the mat and tried to apply the Figure 4 Leg Lock but Daisuke Kiso stopped him. Muto attacked Kiso and gave him a DDT but left himself vulnerable on his back. The fan pinned Muto and Kiso counted to three, declaring her the winner!

The next Baka Gaijin event will be at ARENA Shimokitazawa on 18th April.

7. Final Set – Naniwa Kenko Land Yu~topia Presents ~The World Unknown To The 37KAMIINA~: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Toi Kojima

The mystery man Gorgeous Matsuno warned Yuki Ueno about has been revealed. It’s… Gabai Ji-chan? Are we sure Ueno is the one fighting against the odds in this match and not his elderly opponents?

Keigo Nakamura has a chance to take the lead in the D GENERATIONS CUP B Block. Yuki Ishida already lost his first match and cannot afford to lose another. Over in the A Block Kazuma Sumi will try to avoid ending his tournament with three defeats in a row. Ilusion’s next match is happening on 11th February so where he stands on the 14th will be very different depending if he wins or loses that match. He may be fighting for the top spot or his match with Sumi could end up becoming the wooden spoon match of their group.

A bunch of sauna related brands are sponsoring many of the matches on the show. The winners of each sponsored match will receive a prize such as free sauna passes and branded clothing.

“BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS VOL. TWO” Results

January 24, 2023

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. TWO: THE DREAM WARRIORS”, 24/01/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
50 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Special Singles Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Death Worm with the Modified Manjigatame (8:33).
2. Thai Boxing Vs Death Match: Drew Parker defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Ladder Crush (7:07).
3. Special Tag Match: Ram Kaichow & Onryo defeated Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi when Onryo pinned Takanashi with the Onryo Clutch (18:41).

The first Baka Gaijin + Friends was such a big success that a second one was never going to be far behind. This time around the headline match was CDK taking on the 666 pairing of Onryo & Ram Kaichow. This was the first time Chris Brookes would confront the ghostly tag team since last year’s King Of Street Wrestling tournament. Once again the match found its way up to the windowed roof of ARENA Shimokitazawa. Kaichow sprayed Brookes with ectoplasm up there before returning back downstairs. She then took out Brookes with a Satellite DDT and ducked a punch from Masahiro Taknashi. Onryo threw ghostly powder into Takanashi’s eyes, Kaichow gave him a Rainmaker and Onryo then pinned him with the Onryo Clutch for the win. After the match Drew Parker announced there was going to be one more match but Brookes chopped him down. The show was over but Brookes revealed there will be a third one taking place on 7th March.

Death Match defeated Muay Thai in the second match of the show. Thanomsak Toba had the early advantage because of his striking game so Parker brought out his own pair of boxing gloves to even the odds. It didn’t work so he ditched the gloves and took out skewers instead. That backfired too when Toba dug the skewers into Parker’s head and tried to make them stick by punching them. Parker smashed a plastic box over Toba’s head then brought out a small ladder. He wanted to do a Swanton off of it but Toba got up and punched him in the jaw. It was a knockout blow but Parker fell on top of Toba and ended up pinning him for the three count!

The return of Death Worm was a terrifying challenge for Fuminori Abe. It’s hard shell acted as armour towards Abe’s strikes. Takayuki Ueki was there as a bystander who found himself getting involved after one of Death Worm’s attacks missed Abe and hit him instead. Ueki threw a punch at Death Worm but also missed. However instead of hitting Abe, Ueki hugged him instead. Abe then accidentally hugged Death Worm which made Ueki jealous. The two teamed up using the power of love (provided by Antonio Honda singing on the microphone) and Abe submitted Death Worm with the Manjigatame.

Ueki performed stand up comedy before the main event. He originally wanted to do a manzai routine with MAO but MAO is currently in America. He introduced himself as a “propolice” which is a combination of pro wrestler and policeman. His main story was about a talk he once had with Daisuke Sekimoto. He impersonated Sekimoto to give both sides of the conversation.

A one night tournament is taking place in the venue where TJPW held their very first event.

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of that event, TJPW is holding the Princess Of The Decade tournament on PPV featuring 19 wrestlers from the roster taking part. It will be an empty arena show with all of the matches being held on mats instead of a wrestling ring. The winner of the tournament will receive a luxurious prize.

Now that he has a win over one half of the IRON FIST Tag Champions, Kodaka is calling upon Daiki Shimomura to help him achieve his goal while Urano & Takumi Tsukamoto are up for a challenging first defence.

The match will be happening in Nagoya too which is Akito’s home region.

The Eccentric’s Ambition, Dogs On The Line, Ittenyon Tradition, LiLiCo Prepares For Spectacular Explosion

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Wrestlers With Short Career Experience Are Called Young Drama: Anarko Montaña & Hideki Okatani Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi
2. Untitled Staggered Entrance Rumble: HARASHIMA Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Saki Akai Vs Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
3. In The Present 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toi Kojima Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Ken Ohka
4. Novelty Single Match: Naruki Doi Vs Shunma Katsumata
5. DDT Tradition 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Thanomsak Toba Vs Tesuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & DJ Nira
6. Selfishly For The 2nd Time In 20 Years, A Single Match That Danshoku Dieno Just Wants To See: Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari
7. Selfishly For The 1st Time In 20 Years, Danshoku Dieno’s Self-Satisfaction Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Muscle Sakai

The name of Danshoku Dieno’s book is “The Eccentric’s Ambition: What I Learnt From Fighting The Invisible Man On How To Increase My Value”. He got the book deal by pitching it as a self help title but it’s really an excuse for him to write his opinions about pro wrestling from throughout his career.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2022”, 29/12/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

0. Dark Match: Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
0. Dark Match: Minoru Fujita, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Soma Takao & Antonio Honda
1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takeshi Masada
2. HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yuji Hino & Yuki Ishida
3. Pheromones Vs “Miyako & Ward” Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces ~ Dissolution & Pet Dogs Contra One Day Experience: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Shunma Katsumata

9. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

The big blowoff match between Pheromones and the Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces now has several stipulations attached to it. Pheromones and Akito had three prelim matches earlier this month and the winner of each match got to add a stipulation. Pheromones won the first match and decided if they win the blowoff bout then whoever they pin must join their unit for one day. Akito’s team won the other two prelim matches and he got to come up with two conditions if Pheromones lose on the 29th. The first is Pheromones must disband. The second is Dieno & Yuki Iino must give away their pet dogs to Shunma Katsumata for a month! Will Haku & Lily end up under Katsumata’s care?

The special ambassador LiLiCo was interviewed over her role on the show. She said ever since her retirement from pro wrestling, she felt like she lost a part of herself. The anal explosion ceremony gives her something to focus on and she wants it to be spectacular. She understands the risk of it and promises not to complain if she can’t use that body part anymore afterwards. She also hopes to continue being involved with DDT next year. She is still rehabbing the knee injury that made her decide to do her retirement match back in March. However she is on track to be completely healed in 2023. Perhaps a return to the ring is in her future.

DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi Vs Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima

3. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Pokotan gets to be part of the new year celebrations. The DDT mascot will be appearing in its Shinsun New Year form for its first match of 2023.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’23”, 04/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. HIMAWARI Debut Match: Yuki Aino Vs HIMAWARI
2. Wakana Uehara Debut Match: Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano Vs Arisu Endo & Wakana Uehara
3. Nao Kakuta, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
4. New Year Special Match: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
5. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Decision Battle Royal: Rika Tatsumi Vs Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Hikari Noa Vs Suzume
6. International Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Trish Adora
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai (c) Vs Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A 6-Woman Battle Royal will determine the No. 1 Contender for the Princess Of Princess Title. There’s a former champion in Rika Tatsumi taking part. Both Mizuki and Maki Itoh have had failed challenges for the top title. Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa or Suzume would all be first time challengers should one of them win.

The Ittenyon tradition returns! Since 2020 Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao have done a wacky singles match against each other on 4th January. The usual stipulation is the loser gets renamed by the winner for a short period of time, along with a gimmick change to go with it. The past examples are Misao becoming Akemi Daredasore and Nakajima becoming Shin Ultra Shoko. Nakajima did not go through with renaming Misao after the last match because she was concerned it would be a distraction for them before the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart tournament began. The same situation is coming up in January so at least right now there is no stipulation attached to the match.

The debut matches for Wakana Uehara and HIMAWARI are now confirmed. Uehara gets to be in a tag match while HIMAWARI is doing a singles.

DDT “NEW YEAR’S CURRENT EXPLOSION!”, 07/01/2023
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Hideki Okatani & Kazuma Sumi
2. Yukio Naya Vs Takeshi Masada
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
4. Harimao Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Daisuke Sasaki & KANON
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Saori Anou & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazuki Hirata, Saki Akai & Gota Ihashi
6. Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market Specialty Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Demonio Uno
7. “Current Explosion” Trademark Battle ~ Current Explosion Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Soma Takao

The CyberFight president, vice president and store manager of the Dropkick Bar are all joining forces to take the exploding death match trademark away from Atsushi Onita! Their argument is DDT could do more with the gimmick if they had the trademark while all Onita has done with it is create an exploding death match monopoly. Onita got some unlikely allies for this fight. Katsumata was previously trying to dethrone Onita as “The Evil Ways” for a new generation. He supports Onita here because you can’t do an exploding death match without him! Toi Kojima experienced this kind of match for the first time back in September and impressed Onita with his courage. Together the three of them will stop DDT management from taking what does not belong to them!

“BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS VOL. TWO”, 24/01/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Singles Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Death Worm
2. Thai Boxing Vs Death Match: Thanomsak Toba Vs Drew Parker
3. Special Tag Match: Ram Kaichow & Onryo Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

The first “BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS” show was a big success and the second one looks to be even bigger. This time around Ram Kaichow & Onryo from 666 are here to give CDK a scary night. I bet Chris Brookes hasn’t forgotten about his casket match with both of them during the King Of Street Wrestling tournament.

Drew Parker has a styles clash waiting for him. The death match wrestler takes on the challenge of Thanomsak Toba and his Thai kickboxing abilities. Meanwhile Fuminori Abe is already making use of his newly freelance statuse by getting into fight with Death Worm.

Takayuki Ueki will be doing a variety performance of some sort before the main event.

“BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS” Results

December 13, 2022

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “CHRIS BROOKES 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 13/12/2022
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
50 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Gatoh Move Tag: Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa defeated Mei Suruga & Miya Yotsuba when Koishikawa submitted Yotsuba with the Octopus Hold (14:02).
2. Interdimensional Kaiju Vs Fucked Up Warfare: MAO defeated Death Worm with the Michinoku Driver II (9:55).
3. Double Anniversary Special: Chris Brookes Vs Drew Parker ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
4. Special Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Drew Parker & MAO when Brookes pinned MAO after the Praying Mantis Bomb & Thrust Kick Combo (6:07).

A special mat wrestling show inside a small bar was put together by Chris Brookes and Drew Parker to celebrate their wrestling anniversaries. Brookes is at his 15th anniversary while Parker reached his 10th. They faced each other in the main event and the venue was too small to take in the action. The two found themselves fighting up to the roof of the bar and brawling over the glass ceiling so the fans inside could see what was happening above outside. They made their way back into the bar and the match ended in a stalemate after 20 minutes.

MAO approached the two after the match and a conversation led to a bonus main event. Parker and MAO teamed up to take on CDK! This time there was a winner when Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi put down MAO with the Praying Mantis Bomb & Thrust Kick Combo. Brookes ended the show by saying tonight was a wonderfully stupid way for him and Parker to celebrate their anniversaries. They also announced that “BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS 2” will take place in the same bar this January.

For MAO’s match against Death Worm he came out wearing a costume suitable for the situation. He felt like a devil hunter fighting one of the UMA Corps monsters so he was dressed as Power from Chainsaw Man! MAO almost fell in love with Death Worm during the match but snapped out of his desires and pinned the creature with the Michinoku Driver II.

The Gatoh Move wrestlers found the lack of space in the venue a bit awkward. Mei Suruga and Miya Yotsuba figured out that when they lied down on the mat together they took up all of the space available. Chie Koishikawa wrestled the match in a Chris Brookes costume and even used the Octopus Stretch to win the match.

Antonio Honda gave a live singing performance for the audience before the main event.

Other wrestlers were at the show and some got involved in the fights when the action got too close to them. Takeshi Masada and Rhio are those examples. Then there was the one who apparently went incognito and kept it peaceful… El Desperado!
