BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 18: 2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW” Results

December 10, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 18: 2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 10/12/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special 3 Way Match: Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Takayuki Ueki and Chie Koishikawa when Nakamura pinned Ueki after a Chop from Koishikawa (7:55).
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Ram Kaichow when Kaichow gave up (8:50).
3. Special Tag Match: Mr. Bueno & Yuki Inoueno (MAO) defeated Mr. Malo & Masahiro Takanashi when Bueno pinned Malo with the Gorgeous Estrella Elbow (13:33).
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Antonio Honda with the Praying Mantis Bomb (22:03).

The last Baka Gaijin + Friends show of the year ended with a bang. Long time friends Chris Brookes and Antonio Honda fought each other in the main event. For Brookes it was the obvious placement with him as the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion while Honda got to cap off an eventful 12 months of dramatic and unusual fights inside ARENA Shimokitazawa. Honda summoned Gongitsune but Brookes deflected the attack into Daisuke Kiso. Brookes then tried to finish Honda off with the Praying Mantis Bomb while Masahiro Takanashi pleaded with him for taking the match too far. Honda attacked both with Gongitsune, hit a Bionic Elbow and almost pinned Brookes with a Leg Clutch Hold. Brookes then reversed the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and the two tried to put each other in the Octopus Hold. Honda couldn’t last though and Brookes was able to finish him off with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

After the match Brookes thanked Honda for the match because it was both the 2nd Anniversary main event for Baka Gaijin as well as the 17th Anniversary of Brookes’s debut. Honda always said 2024 was his year of revival but that makes it sound like he is near the end. Brookes told him everyone wants to see the revival go on for next year and beyond! Honda said this year was so amazing it was as if the gods of wrestling made it worthwhile. 2024 was not the year of his revival, it was his rebirth! Next year he will be coming after Brookes and aiming right for his neck! The show ended with a group get together along with unexpected party streamers popping off over everyone’s heads. That’s the bang I was talking about.

Mr. Bueno was supposed to team up with MAO but he got someone kind of familiar in his place. MAO walked out dressed in Yuki Ueno’s full outfit and was announced to everyone as Yuki Inoueno! That only served as a distraction for Bueno meeting Mr. Malo again for the first time since Malo smashed a bottle over his head at the last Baka Gaijin show. He wanted to get payback the right way though by fighting clean and fair. When he had a chance to break a bottle over Malo’s head, he refused to do it. Inoueno though had no such problem. He grabbed Bueno’s hand and physically made him hit Malo with the bottle. Bueno at least did the gentlemanly thing and helped carry Malo out of the room after the match.

There was a surprise in store for HARASHIMA in Match #2. Ram Kaichow told him she has been a big fan of HERO! ever since she was a child. So much so she pulled out a HERO! mask and asked HARASHIMA to wear it for the match. HARASHIMA agreed and immediately got into character while Kaichow marked out for him. She then slapped HARASHIMA and told him it was only a trap because she isn’t a kid anymore. She wore the mask herself for the rest of the match. HARASHIMA noticed her attacks were now becoming superpowered so he couldn’t hold back against her. After surviving an Ectoplasm attack he gave Kaichow a Buzzsaw Kick and stepped back some distance to set up the Somato. Kaichow knew it was coming and immediately gave up out of fear. She threw the mask at HARASHIMA, yelled at him and stormed out of the room. HARASHIMA was the winner but for once he didn’t feel good about it.

The show began with an unusual sight on a Baka Gaijin show. Takayuki Ueki used to appear at these events as a mad doctor until he wiped out his memory at the September show. Today he was in his regular wrestling gear and behaved like a fresh faced rookie. However when Munetatsu Nakamura and Chie Koishikawa started double teaming him, he pulled out his pistol at them. He held them at gunpoint and ordered Koishikawa to strike Nakamura so he would fall backwards and get pinned with a School Boy from Ueki. The plan backfired as Nakamura fell right on top of Ueki and Koishikawa pressed both of them down for the three count. However Kiso ruled that Nakamura was the winner because he was directly on top of Ueki during the pin.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II” Results

October 29, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II”, 29/10/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. 4 Way Match: MAO defeated Sayaka, Keiko Nakamura and Hondako Antonio when MAO pinned Nakamura with a Rainmaker (?:??).
2. HARASHIMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Somato (?:??).
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa defeated Ms. Kaichow, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo when Brookes & Takanashi pinned Bueno with the HOD (?:??).

Halloween needed a sequel before it even happens so Baka Gaijin + Friends went to work. ChieDK all showed up to the main event in monstrous forms. Chie Koishikawa was now walking the earth as a zombie, Masahiro Takanashi entered the room as a vampire and Chris Brookes was reduced to being a sad clown. Things were a little different for their opponents. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo were their usual selves while Ram Kaichow was now wrestling in her own lucha mask under the name Ms. Kaichow (although Brookes quickly unmasked her). At a time when the masked wrestlers needed to be a united team against the forces of darkness, Bueno & Malo soon started to argue because Bueno wanted to fight fair while Malo wasn’t afraid to fight dirty. Things went south when Bueno stopped Malo from using a beer bottle as a weapon. Malo then decided to break the bottle over Bueno’s head! He walked off to let CDK beat Bueno and then returned to drop a pumpkin on top of Bueno’s prone body.

The rest of the card was not announced before the show so fans were surprised to see HARASHIMA show up wearing a pumpkin costume. He also wore plain wrestling trunks he had to borrow from someone else because he forgot to bring his regular wrestling gear. But when it came to his match against Munetatsu Nakamura, HARASHIMA kept it simple and outgrappled his opponent to win.

The opening bout was a 4 Way Match with every wrestler involved competing in a school girl sailor outfit. MAO and Sayaka were in the match as themselves in the costume but Keigo Nakamura and Antonio Honda went full on roleplaying as school girls. MAO ended up taking off his costume to reveal he was wearing a tight gym top and speedo underneath before pinning Nakamura with the Rainmaker.

A costume contest was hosted by Takayuki Ueki during the show. Ueki recently dislocated his shoulder so his costume was Zangief from Street Fighter II after he loses a fight. The winner came dressed a Chris Brookes and was even brought back for the main event to briefly swap places with the real Chris Brookes.

Baka Gaijin will be holding their 2nd Anniversary show on 10th December.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II:”, 29/10/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Ram Kaichow, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa

The room already gets cramped whenever Baka Gaijin + Friends books a tag team match. How do they have the room to do a 6-Man Tag? Also Mr. Bueno and Mr. Malo have been described as being complete opposites of each other. Does that make mean they will make a good team or a bad team? Ram Kaichow might need to be the anchor of the trio. CDK (or should that be ChieDK?) will have nothing to worry about since Chie Koishikawa has been a compatible teammate for both Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi in the past.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. SIXTEEN: WHERE COLD WINDS BLOW” Results

September 24, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. SIXTEEN: WHERE COLD WINDS BLOW”, 24/09/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Masahiro Takanashi & MAO Takanashi defeated Mr. Bueno & Chie Koishikawa when Takanashi & Takanashi both pinned Bueno with the Double Bacchus (?:??).
2. Dr. Cube & Mecha Mummy defeated Mad Dr. Ueki & Shin Suzuki when Mummy submitted Ueki with the Mecha Drill Grind (?:??).
3. Mr. Malo defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Killswitch (?:??).
4. Minoru Suzuki defeated Antonio Honda with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (?:??).

With no matches announced beforehand, nobody knew what to expect with this month’s visit to Baka Gaijin + Friends. The show looked like it was even going to finish early when Chris Brookes gathered everyone together after Match #3 to begin the closing speeches. Antonio Honda interrupted him complaining about not having a match on the show. Brookes admitted he forgot to book something for him. Honda demanded a match and came up with an idea. He has experience in fighting invisible men so his opponent will be Invisible Minoru Suzuki! Honda behaved like Suzuki was walking in front of him performing his entrance, unaware that the real Minoru Suzuki entered the room in his gear and stood behind him ready to wrestle! Honda turned around as the fans sang “Kaze Ni Nare” and collapsed in shock at the sight of Suzuki.

The match began and Honda tried to take control by Chopping Suzuki only to get Chopped in return. The trade-offs continued until Honda change things up by grabbing a flower and exchanging wrist locks with his opponent without dropping it. Suzuki then grabbed Honda in a Headlock and dragged him over to the window where he tried to throw him out of the building! Honda escaped and backed away from the window but Suzuki then attacked him with a coat hanger and then threw him into the front row of stools. Honda tried fighting back but was overwhelmed by Suzuki’s attacks. He got a lucky break by ducking a Clothesline causing Suzuki to slam his arm off the wooden pillar in the room. He summoned Gongitsune to start his comeback leading into the two of them winding up for a Bionic Elbow spot. Honda caught Suzuki in the Sleeper Hold and took him down to the ground. He climbed the bar counter and did the Diving Fist Drop but Suzuki got out of the way and hit the Gotch-Style Piledriver for the win. Honda wanted to keep fighting after the match but Suzuki slapped him to the ground. However Suzuki showed respect to Honda afterwards and allowed him to close out the show with a speech.

A new masked luchador has shown up in Baka Gaijin and he is described as somebody who is the opposite of Mr. Bueno. The wrestler known as Mr. Malo spent a lot of his match against Munetatsu Nakamura singling out women in the audience so he could gift them with a flower. One of those women was Sayaka from ChocoPro. But whenever the ref’s back was turned, Malo gave Nakamura a Low Blow. He also grabbed Sayaka and used her to distract the ref so he could smash a tequila bottle over Nakamura’s head before pinning him with the Killswitch. Mr. Bueno came out to check on Nakamura after the match.

Mad Dr. Ueki was feeling despondent today over what happened at “FUCKED UP FEST” last month. His prized robot Mecha Mummy was taken away by Dr. Cube and reprogrammed to do the evil kaiju’s bidding. Ueki called out Mummy to confront him and Mummy entered the room with Dr. Cube next to him! Cube bragged about what he did and ordered Mummy to destroy Ueki right away. Mummy attacked but Ueki was suddenly rescued by the ring announcer Shin Suzuki! He didn’t want to stand by and watch Ueki get ganged up on so he decided they should do a tag match instead. Ueki tried to reason with Mummy by reminding it of all the good times they had together but Mummy continued to attack him. Ueki pulled out his police gun and shot Mummy but the bullet ricocheted off its chest and hit Suzuki instead! Cube’s, well, cube protected his head like a helmet until Ueki pulled it off to reveal his horribly scarred face. But Mummy stopped Ueki by attacking him with the Mecha Drill, grinding it against Ueki’s face until he tapped out. Cube & Mummy continued to attack Ueki and then Cube promoted the Kaiju Big Battel show happening in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 10th October. When they left Ueki was so upset that he decided to wipe out his memories of being a Mad Doctor and staggered out of the room.

The first match was a tag match between two teams of doubles. Mr. Bueno was joined by Chie Koishikawa who dressed and behaved just like he did. The other team had MAO not only teaming with Masahiro Takanashi but impersonating him too right down to the promo style. Bueno & Koishikawa were perhaps too identical. They both climbed the bar counter and then banged their heads off the ceiling by standing up too tall. MAO & Takanashi took advantage and both used Takanashi’s Bacchus cradle to pin Bueno for the three count.

Wrestling commentator Haruo Murata was in attendance for the show and decided to join in with Mr. HAKU’s play-by-play on stream during the middle of the main event.

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be held on 29th October.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST” Results

August 25, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST”, 24/08/2024
Tokyo Nakano Moonstep
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno defeated To-y with a Glove Assisted Cobra Twist (10:00).
2. Special Tag Team Match: Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Kota Ibushikoshi when Nakamura pinned Ibushikoshi with the Diving Headbutt (8:30).
3. Special Single Match: Tyrannosaurus Inoue defeated Tyrannosaurus Morozumi with the Meteora (8:14).
4. Special Tag Team Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Brookes defeated Thanomsak Toba & Sayaka when Brookes pinned Sayaka after the HOD (7:??).
5. International 4 Way Dance: Dr. Gore defeated Mecha Mummy, Shivam and Jake De Leon when Gore pinned Mummy with a Cradle (10:18).
6. Triple Threat Match: Antonio Honda defeated Judomaster and Yasu Urano when Honda submitted Judomaster with the Octopus Hold (8:04).
7. Special Single Match: Ram Kaichow defeated Maya Yukihi with a School Boy (7:03).
8. Hardcore 4 Way Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO Vs Chris Brookes Vs Mad Dr. Ueki ended in a Time Limit Draw (?:??).

This is a struggle to write a show report for because the only results online come from the Baka Gaijin + Friends Twitter account and they don’t give much detail. There isn’t even a result for the Maya Yukihi Vs Ram Kaichow that I could find anywhere (edit from the future: I got the DVD and now have the result). It was an all day concert and wrestling event though so I can’t blame them. Everyone involved in organizing it must have had so much other stuff on their plate to worry about.

Ilusion confronted Chris Brookes about wanting to join SCHADENFREUDE International. Brookes said no but will give him one last shot at earning a place in the group. They will have a singles match against each other in DDT on 30th August.

Dr. Cube from Kaiju Big Battel crashed the show after the 4 Way Dance. He poured a bottle of water over Mecha Mummy to make it short circuit and then removed its memory card. Cube snapped the card in half and placed a new memory card into Mummy, one that made the robot follow Cube’s every demand!

Chie Koishikawa showed up in Chris Brookes cosplay again so that meant her team with Masahiro Takanashi was called ChieDK.

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

It wasn’t possible for DDT to bring Shunma Katsumata and Kohei Kinoshita together to sign the contract for their DDT Extreme Title match so a remote press conference was held for them yesterday. Katsumata decided the rules for the match is they will score a point for every second they pin their opponent for. The first wrestler to reach 37 points in total will be the winner and champion. The reason why Katsumata chose 37 as the target number is because 37 means “sauna” and he heard Kinoshita also likes saunas.

Kinoshita said he wanted to wrestle in DDT for years but it was always difficult to get bookings because he lives in Kansai. He is excited to wrestle for a title and will use this match as a chance to expand his horizons. Katsumata had wanted to do a singles match with him ever since they fought each other in a 6-Man Tag at Yukinori Matsui’s produce show back in May. He is even happier the match gets to happen in Osaka. Even though the contract signing was done electronically, the two still found a way to almost start a brawl by arguing with each other over who is going to win.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao 15th Anniversary ~ Special Single Match: Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Seven years after his last match with the company Kota Ibushi is finally going to wrestle in DDT again! His return match is being purposely put together too because one of his opponents is Tetsuya Endo. When Ibushi left DDT, Endo was one of the wrestlers he entrusted the future of the promotion to. Ibushi wants to prove to everyone he is in much better form than his NOAH match at the start of the year. He had a five minute exhibition at GLEAT recently where he looked alright but still nowhere near the image of Ibushi that we all know and love. I’d say if he’s reduced to just being the hot tag for the match he won’t embarrass himself. Heck if he just wants to goof around Korakuen Hall and fight up in the balcony again for old time’s sake that won’t be bad either. Unless his teases of going over the barrier get taken too far…

BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~”, 27/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

The “SOUEN” events are supposedly going to be the same kind of shows BASARA were already doing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING before they increased the schedule. The first match announced definitely goes into the promotion’s history because Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu are reuniting as Cavalry to challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Cavalry was one of the first new teams established in BASARA during the brand’s debut year back in 2016. It lasted until 2018 when Nakatsu won the Union MAX Title and Sekine felt it was time for them to split up so he could challenge him for the belt. It’s only fitting that another championship is what gets them to reunite six years later.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. TEN: ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY” Results

December 12, 2023

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. TEN: ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY”, 12/12/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Masahiro Takanashi with La Magistral Cradle Cutback (?:??).
2. Special Single Match: Mad Dr. Ueki defeated Shigehiro Irie with a School Boy (?:??).
3. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Ram Kaichow ended in a No Contest (?:??).
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Praying Mantis Bomb (?:??).

That year went by quickly. In the space of twelve months Chris Brookes has held 10 events in the small but packed ARENA Shimokitazawa with his friends of all shapes, sizes and origins. To celebrate one year with Baka Gaijin + Friends, Brookes decided to face a young wrestler who was just a fan back when Brookes first started wrestling in Japan. Munetatsu Nakamura got the full Baka Gaijin experience wrestling against Brookes. He was Body Slammed onto a front row of stools but also jumped off the bar counter to hit a Rolling Senton. Brookes took the match down to the mat with the Octopus Stretch, hit him with a short-range Somato and even did a Tombstone but Nakamura kept kicking out. He was finally put away with the Praying Mantis Bomb. After the match Masahiro Takanashi challenged Nakamura to a tag team bout at Gatoh Move on 10th January. Not only that but Takanashi also called over Taiwanese wrestler Gaia Hox to be Nakamura’s partner so the two of them can fight CDK together.

The main event was slightly delayed because everyone had to clean up after the mess MAO and Ram Kaichow made during their match against each other. MAO came out dressed in a ghostbusting uniform that did not infringe any copyrights. Despite Kaichow being the more paranormal presence of the two, MAO was arguably the weirder person. He mimicked other wrestlers and deflected Kaichow’s invisible shurikans at Daisuke Kiso, causing the ref to bleed out while Kaicow had what could have been the match winning pinfall. MAO also brought out a vaccum cleaner to suck in Kaichow but Kiso was used as a human shield. Kaichow threw ectoplasm powder at MAO but it did nothing thanks to the goggles he was wearing. With the fight at a standstill, both MAO and Kaichow grabbed fire extinguishers and used them against each other, filling the entire room in a cloud of CO2! It was so chaotic that the match had to be called off and the mat had to be hoovered.

Mad Dr. Ueki pulled off an upset against Shigehiro Irie. There was barely enough room on the mat for the two to fight each other so they tried to hit the big moves early. Ueki then took out a syringe but it was knocked to the floor and stepped on, breaking it. Kiso got in the way trying to clear the pieces and all three people bumped into each other, causing Irie to swap bodies with Kiso! He did Irie’s moves like the Cannoball and Beast Bomber but Ueki kept kicking out and throwing Kiso into Irie to send their bodies back to normal. The situation finally fixed itself when Kiso and Irie ran into each other and accidentally kissed. Irie was back in his normal body but Ueki then immediately pinned him with a School Boy. Not only did Ueki win the match but he now has more data that can be used for Mecha Mummy!

One of the other first timers on today’s show was Yuki Ueno. The current KO-D Openweight Champion was given a match with Takanashi and all of the dirty tricks he knows in an environment such as this. He tricked Ueno into calling a toast and then attacked him from behind. He also forced Ueno to drink a full glass of beer before dragging him around the room and throwing him head first into a wooden pillar. Ueno eventually found his footing and adapted to his new surroundings. He did a handstand on a stool, the ceiling bar and also leap frogged the referee to elevate his moves. Takanashi however blocked a Diving Body Press from the bar counter and tried to get the win with cradle pins. That backfired when Ueno blocked La Magistral Cradle and pressed down Takanashi’s shoulders to get the three count and the victory.

Shin Suzuki was the ring announcer today. Chie Koishikawa also did some microphone duties while Antonio Honda did a musical performance during intermission.

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends event will take place on 17th January.
