BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 32: SO GLAD FOR THE MADNESS”, 19/07/2026
Nagoya Sportiva Arena
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Sayaka ended in a Draw after both of them ate a Wasabi Cream Puff (11:37).
2. HARASHIMA & Chie Koishikawa defeated Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram when HARASHIMA pinned Ueki with the Somato (7:40).
3. MAO defeated Konaka = Pehlwan with a Reverse Rolling Cradle (12:27).
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Yuta Oya defeated Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo when Oya pinned Malo with the Kesagiri Chop (25:20).

The Sportiva Arena in Nagoya welcomed Baka Gaijin + Friends with open arms for the group’s first Japanese trek outside of Tokyo. Chris Brookes reunited with Yuta Oya after their singles match back in February. This time they were teaming up in the main event to take on the masked brothers Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo. Brookes also called in Hinata Kasai to help out at points but he was easily manhandled by Bueno. The new environment encouraged the Baka Gaijin to take the fight over to the stage area where Malo placed his black rudo mask over Bueno’s head, turning Bueno into a rudo! However Bueno acted so much like a rudo that he started insulting everybody and even made Malo cry. He ended up getting into an argument with Daisuke Kiso and slapped him over the head with his glove because Bueno does not understand Japanese. Yukinori Matsui stood up for his colleague and clapped Bueno across the face. Brookes then led a train attack on Bueno, throwing almost every other person who appeared on the show into him. Oya finally pulled the mask off to return Bueno back to normal and they had a fair fight with each other. Malo stepped in and went back to rudo mode by giving Oya a Low Blow. Oya figured out Malo’s game plan at that point and anticipated he would do it again. So despite being blind, Oya was able to block Malo’s low blow the second time. Then with a big swing of his arm he knocked Malo down with the Kesagiri Chop and pinned him for the three count.

MAO was given as odd an opponent as you can find in Nagoya when Konaka = Pehlwan made his way down to the mat. The pale looking yoga wrestler may have met his match when it comes to the craziness stakes. MAO placed several stools together and laid Konaka on top of them. He then grabbed the ceiling frame and lifted himself above with the intention to splash down onto his opponent. But Konaka moved out of the way while MAO was hanging and he poked him with a broom. MAO wouldn’t let go so Konaka grabbed a crocodile toy and made it bite MAO in the crotch, forcing MAO to finally drop and crash into the stools. Konaka then used MAO’s plan against him, laying him onto more stools and then swinging back and forth from the ceiling in the yoga cross legged position before dropping himself right onto MAO. Konaka switched from the stool attacks and instead tried to pin MAO with cradles but that backfired with MAO ultimately rolling things into his favour so he got the three count instead.

A brand new location means brand new people for Ueki’s Magic Kingdom to kidnap. Princess Ram forced Rekka and Hinata Kasai to decide which of them would be taken prisoner. Rekka won a game of rock paper scissors but Ram decided that meant Rekka won the right to be captured. Munek was not at the show but his magic wand was still there so Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram both had turns trying to cast spells. They successfully used it to freeze HARASHIMA but Ram got into a struggle over the wand with Chie Koishikawa and they ended up freezing Ueki over it. Chie chased Ram away while HARASHIMA broke free from the spell to pin Ueki with the Somato. The Magic Kingdom lost their match but still left Nagoya with something. After the match they bumped into Antonio Honda and successfully cast a spell on him to turn him evil! After that was done, Shin Suzuki remembered that Rekka was still imprisoned so he found the wand and cast the spell to set him free.

Honda’s match against Sayaka in the opener turned out to be the much dreaded Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match! Every time a wrestler scored a two count pin, their opponent would have to pick a random cream puff and eat it. If it was filled with wasabi (and everyone would be able to tell based on their reaction), the wrestler would lose the match. Several pinfalls reduced the cream puffs down to only a couple left. Honda and Sayaka ended up trapping each other in a Double Backslide Pin so both had to eat a cream puff. They both picked one each and took their bites. Honda immediately ran away in a panic while Sayaka fell to her knees in despair. They both ate wasabi cream puffs so the match ended in a draw!

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Miles Karu with the Octopus Hold (12:46).
2. Kota Sekifuda defeated Antonio Honda with the Super Man (13:24).
3. Square Kong & Princess Ram defeated Dark King Ueki & Munek when Kong pinned Munek with the Made In Gorilla (10:18).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) (w/ Mr. Malo) defeated Toru Owashi with La Magistral Cradle (17:10).
*V3 for Mr. Bueno.

Was the main event really a BK-G Openweight Title or an infomercial for Toru Owashi’s food? Midway through the match Owashi pulled out a box filled with jars of his homemade miso. He attacked Mr. Bueno with some of the jars until he spotted Mr. Malo stealing from the box. He then tried to Choke Slam Bueno onto a pile of jars but Malo grabbed all of them to put back into the box. Malo continued to help out his brother until Owashi bribed him with jars of miso. Malo agreed and handed his black mask over to Owashi to wear as they ganged up on the champion. Bueno was able to snap his brother out of betraying him and the match returned to being one on one. Bueno and Owashi got into a chop battle. Owashi got the upper hand and went to do La Magistral Cradle but Bueno reversed it and used the same move to pin Owashi intead.

After the match Bueno started complaining to Chris Brookes because he never knew he was supposed to defend the BK-G Title today. He thinks being the champion means he should be let in on these kind of surprises. Brookes disagreed, telling him it is supposed be a surprise all the time. However since Baka Gaijin + Friends will be holding their first show in Nagoya on 19th July he will reveal the main event of that show right now. It will be Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo against Brookes & Yuta Oya!

Trouble is brewing inside Ueki’s Magic Kingdom so the unit is on the lookout for new members. Dark King Ueki asked Antonio Honda and Kota Sekifuda to join but they both turned him down so they were kidnapped and kept inside Munek’s magic prison. However Square Kong suddenly got tired of Ueki bossing him around and didn’t want to take is orders anymore. Long then got mad when Sekifuda noticed the bananas Ueki was giving him were unripe. Princess Ram then aired her own grievances towards Ueki because the coffee he bought for her today is from McDonalds instead of Starbucks. The Kingdom was now having a civil war with Ueki & Munek fighting Kong & Ram! Kong attacked the other team with a barrell while Munek used his magic to slow down Ram. Kong then ate his unriped banana to power up and trick Ueki into rubbing Munek into his hairy chest. Ram blinded Munek with powder and Kong then pinned him with the Made In Gorilla. After the match Kong grabbed Munek’s wand to cast a spell on Ueki but Munek used a mirror to deflect it back at him and Ram. Thw two of them are now back under Ueki’s control and the Magic Kingdom are all on the same page again.

Sekifuda pulled out a sack containing something that would counter Honda’s Gongitsune. He reached in deep inside to pull out his own arm shaped like a gecko… that’s right it’s Gon The Gecko! It bit Honda’s arm to render Gongitsune useless but Honda then raised his other hand to form Gongitsune’s uncle seeking revenge for his nephew’s untimely end. The match then devolved into Bionic Elbow wind up spots until Sekifuda used a Superman Dive to pin Honda.

Miles Karu wanted to start off his Baka Gaijin debut on the right foot so he entered the room singing his own version of “Ice Ice Baby”. It got the fans chanting “Miles Miles Baby” at him while Brookes was waiting for him to wrap it up. During the match they fought over to the window where they both tried to throw each other out of it but they returned back to the mat. Karu pulled out a melodica and started playing “My Heart Will Go On” to confuse Brookes into letting go of a submission hold and get Daisuke Kiso to do the Titanic pose on a stool. Karu spoiled the moment by rolling up Brookes for a nearfall, causing Kiso to scramble back to reality. Brookes stuck the melodica pipe into Karu’s mouth and kept chopping him in the chest. He then did a Pulling Piledriver but when Karu kicked out of the pin, Brookes twisted him into an Octopus Hold and made him give up.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN NAGOYA” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN NAGOYA”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall
444 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Kazashiro pinned Nanase with the Fisherman Suplex (10:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Hattori pinned Harajuku and Kiryu with a Simultaneous School Boy (8:00).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Raku when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:36).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Suzume pinned Summer with the Ring A Bell (11:03).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with a School Boy (4:52).
6. Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
7. Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki when Konatsu pinned Kanzaki with the Aries Comet (14:32).

Ren Konatsu has entered her second year as a pro wrestler by returning to the venue of her debut and winning in the main event for the first time! She got to beat her junior Shion Kanzaki with the Aries Comet while Yuki Arai used a Full Nelson Buster to make sure Miyu Yamashita was out of the way. Konatsu said she wants to team up with Arai a lot more as well as also have matches against her. The way Arai praised Konatsu after the match makes Konatsu think she has now gone from Arai’s fan into Arai’s angel. As for the upcoming title match, Arai thinks today was an important warmup because she got to show Yamashita her true potential. She wants to master the Scorpion Death Lock and is thinking carefully of different ways to put Yamashita in it in every match they will be in together.

The two Daydream Vs Kyoraku Kyomei singles matches couldn’t have turned out any differently. Rika Tatsumi and Shoko Nakajima fought each other to a 15 minute stalemate where Tatsumi’s tactical wrestling clashed with Nakajima’s speedy style. The other match devolved into chaos pretty quickly. Hyper Misao tried to leave when she realized it was meant to be a preliminary bout for the Princess Tag Team Titles match that her team still denies is going to happen. However she was already locked in the room and had to wrestle the match. Miu Watanabe wrapped Misao up in the ring apron and gave her the Giant Swing on the floor. Misao blinded Watanabe with the Hero Spray and started detaching the turnbuckle posts to use as weapons. Watanabe ended up charging right into an exposed buckle and was rolled back into a School Boy to get pinned by Misao. Kyoraku Kyomei still hold the contract for the title match and Nakajima pointed out that if she cannot beat Tatsumi one on one then she clearly isn’t ready to fight for the tag titles right now. On the other side, Tatsumi cannot believe that Watanabe lost her match so she ordered her to go train at a gym by herself without using her Hot Pepper app points to make the reservation. Tatsumi doesn’t need to join the training because a draw is not a loss. She also doesn’t believe Nakajima when she says now is not the right time to do the title match.

While Japan was beating Tunisia 4-0 in the World Cup, Mahiro Kiryu brought along a gigantic football so she could play the sport with her opponents in the 3 Way Match. She also had red and yellow cards prepared for Daisuke Kiso to use if anyone committed a foul (that blew up in her face when Kiso booked her for being too aggressive towards him). Pom Harajuku wasn’t interested in playing and Sakura Hattori threw the ball away but both of them were eventually drawn into Kiryu’s game. Harajuku threw the ball around which made Kiryu stop the match so she could show her how to play properly. The two then tried to kick the ball into the red corner goal but Hattori used her ninja skills to save almost every shot. She finally let one in by accidentally leaving an open goal but then remembered they were in a wrestling match so she rolled both opponents over with a Double School Boy for the win. At least Kiryu and Harajuku got more shots on goal than Tunisia did.

One year ago a rivalry between Super Sasadango Machine and Toru Yano brought DDT and New Japan together, mending a decade long broken relationship in the process. The event was such a success that both parties agreed to do it again, this time under more friendlier circumstances. With a hot summer of sport about to begin, an agreement was made by both sides to provide the best sportsmanship and keep things fair throughout the day. But as the show hit its stride, the trust between DDT and NJPW would be taken advantage of by some for the sake of getting the competitive advantage.

For an inter-promotional show such as this it was necessary that everything would be presented 50/50. It aired as a PPV on both NJPW World and Wrestle Universe with each streaming service providing their own full scale broadcast on separate screens side-by-side. That meant separate commentary teams with their own special guests, separate ring announcers, alternating referees, etc. Korakuen Hall even tried to split itself in half with the green DDT side having a security fence installed while the red NJPW side was barrier free. The NJPW World commentators were Yohei Onishi, Milano Collection A.T. and special guest Hiroshi Tanahashi. The Wrestle Universe commentators were Haruo Murata, Ken Suzuki.txt and special guest Yuki Ueno. Murata wants to be neutral because he works with both companies but his interactions with Daisuke Sasaki during the Best Of The Super Jr. meant he was DDT through and through no matter what he says.

A signing ceremony was planned to take place but first Yano had an announcement to make regarding his team. Tomoaki Honma was unable to appear at the show today because of illness so a substitute was called in at the last minute. His replacement is KUSHIDA! With that news out of the way, Sasadango and Yano signed the contract and started to hype up the fans to chant for their favorite side.

The chants turned into a cheering contest with Yano ordering Tatsuya Matsumoto to encourage even louder chants for New Japan. Hinata Kasai tried to do the same with the DDT fans, leading the two young wrestlers to get in each other’s way and then begin arguing. The arguing turned into a staredown and the staredown was going to turn into a fight!

All of a sudden a three minute long wrestling exhibition broke out between Matsumoto and Kasai. The two fought back and forth until the time expired but both kept trying to fight so they were allowed another five minutes to settle their differences. Kasai locked in an STF but Matsumoto broke free and got a nearfall with a Body Slam. As the match hit the 3 minute mark, Matsumoto put Kasai in a Crab Hold and got him to give up.

Everything was now calm again after that fired up display so it was time for the show to begin proper. DDT and New Japan would face each other in a gauntlet of singles matches with mystery lineups made out of five participants on each team. However a match could be turned into a tag team bout if both sides agree to the change beforehand. Sasadango and Yano together gave an oath promising to uphold good sportsmanship in every match… but it was all a trick! A video played on the two screens showing an unmasked Sasadango dressed up as the famous fortune teller Kazuko Hosoki. Here, “Kazuko Sasaki” informed Yano that DDT had just invited NJPW into taking part in a special tour… The DDT Hell Tour!

Sasadango admits he was foolish to think his team could beat New Japan in five regular pro wrestling matches so he hatched a plan. The DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi then showed Yano the contract he signed included an extra sentence written in English that was not included in the Japanese print. “All match rules must be accepted as decided by DDT.” Yano was tricked into letting DDT decide the rules for every match tonight!

DDT used the surprise to their immediate advantage by making the first match an IPPON Lighttube Tag Death Match! In this match there is only one lighttube and the loser is the person whose body breaks it. DDT sent the master of the match Akito out there to team with MAO while NJPW were represented by KUSHIDA & El Desperado. The sudden rule change made things more dangerous for KUSHIDA because lately he likes to wrestle barefoot. Akito made fun of that by shoving a sock into KUSHIDA’s mouth near the end of the match. However as everyone fought over the lighttube or tried to avoid touching it, MAO and Desperado formed their own alliance because of their friendship and agreed to break the lighttube together. They both climbed up the same turnbuckle, counted down together and… only Desperado went ahead with the trust fall. He smashed landed on the lighttube while MAO remained on the turnbuckles to celebrate winning the match. Desperado was so furious over the betrayal he abducted Viento Maligno at ringside and threatened to harm him with the remains of the broken lighttube unless MAO apologizes.

Akito & MAO remained in the ring to take part in the second match. This one showed everybody how DDT’s plan could backfire on them in a spectacular manner. It was a Blindfold Butt-Finding Hell Match where every wrestler had to fight blindfolded in their underwear and the first one to have their backside exposed would lose. NJPW sent out the two wrestlers that were guaranteed to thrive under such a ruleset, YOH & Ryusuke Taguchi! Both men walked out wearing an extra pair of underwear over their heads along with slingkinis and stockings. Keep in mind this show is taking place exactly one day after YOH won BOSJ! The blindness led to Akito & MAO almost fighting each other until they recognized each other by their body shape. The two of them as well as YOH all ended up wandering outside the ring while back inside Taguchi was trying to do Hip Attacks into thin air. When everyone got back into the ring MAO slid up from underneath Taguchi only to bump into YOH and accidentally Lip Lock him. The four wrestlers then formed a chain by all reaching out to the person in front of them to grab their tights. The NJPW team won the duel and exposed the DDT wrestlers’ butts to win the match. According to MAO, the lesson he learned from this match is everybody from Miyagi is weird. YOH proved it later by telling reporters backstage that the experience he went through today feels so good.

Match #3 had DDT send out reinforcements in the form of Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata because the only way to win the match was to make your opponents give up. The DDT team jumped YOH & Taguchi but the NJPW duo would taunt them on the microphone whenever they were asked to give up. Honda told Hirata to put them in the Paradise Lock but Hirata confessed he does not know how to do the move. Honda went outside to bring Milano Collection A.T. into the ring so they could learn it from him. But Honda tripped over the ropes on the way back in. He had injured himself and decided it was time to give up but first he needed to tell his latest Gongitsune joke. It turned into an attack that led to everyone brawling. As the dust settled, only Milano was left standing. He noticed a pair of Hirata GO! glasses had fallen onto the canvas so he put them on and “Tokyo GO!” began to play. He tried to ignore it until he couldn’t help but dance to the music belonging to an old foe. As this was happening, Honda and Taguchi were doing Gongitsune attacks and they both wound up pinching Milano by the nipples. Milano’s response was to put the both of them in Paradise Locks and then continue dancing on top of them. Both Honda and Taguchi gave up at the same time, causing the match to end in a tie.

The series was reaching its halfway point so Sasadango decided now was a good time to do a PowerPoint Presentation… From Hell! He explained to the audience that the ideal way of doing inter-promotional matches is to help develop the next generation. His presentation was suddenly interrupted when his laptop decided to reset itself for updates. While the fans started chanting for the laptop to restart, Sasadango handed his microphone to Hiroshi Tanahashi and asked him to talk for a bit. Tanahashi spoke about the repaired relationship between New Japan and DDT, entirely crediting himself for making it happen. Sasadango then gave up on the laptop and tried to continue his presentation without PowerPoint. He and Yano then broke out into an argument until they noticed Rukiya and Tatsuya Matsumoto both laughing at them nearby. Sasadango and Yano agreed they need to set a good example to their juniors or they would lose their respect. So for the next match the wrestlers involved would lose if their junior laughs at them!

Sasadango would step into the ring to finally be part of the action but his opponent was Hirooki Goto! Rukiya and Matsumoto were made to sit down near the ring with instructions to fill their mouths with water. Every time one of them laughed and spat the water out, their respective wrestler would lose a point. The first to lose three points would lose the match. Both of them laughed at the same time when Goto accidentally unmasked Sasadango during a Headlock off of the ropes. Rukiya then laughed a second time when Sasadango took a Lariat, apologized to Goto and then retreated from the ring. When Sasadango returned, he all of a sudden looked like a completely different person with a ripped physique. Goto was able to unmask him, revealing it was KANON under the mask. That made Matsumoto laugh. The real Sasadango returned to launch a sneak attack on Goto but that failed. He then challenged Goto to a sumo match and encouraged the fans to chant “Edmond” at Goto (because he plays E. Honda in the upcoming Street Fighter movie). Sasadango tricked Goto into taking a Dropkick but Goto got back up and grabbed his opponent. Just when Goto was in position to do the GTR, Sasadango instantly gave up so he wouldn’t take the move. Rukiya laughed at this, taking away Sasadango’s last point. Goto gave him th GTR anyway and pinned him for the three count so he ended up having three different ways to claim victory for the match.

Sasadango was beaten but DDT was not. He still had one more card to play. For many weeks leading up to this show, Sasadango has been trying to recruit one wrestler more than any other but his advances were rejected every time. Well it turns out this person finally agreed to show up because Danshoku Dieno made a big entrance to have a match with Goto! It didn’t take long for the match to get out of hand because the referees Yumehito Imanari, Marty Asami and Daisuke Kiso were all knocked out with Lip Locks that were intended for Goto. Akito ran into the ring to help put Dieno into the Hell Gate position over the top turnbuckle. Chaos then broke out with many wrestlers from both teams all running down to the ring to fight each other and then get their heads shoved into Dieno’s backside. Everything was so out of control that the match had to be called off.

By this point the DDT had run out of all of their players while the NJPW team still had only Toru Yano remaining. Yano thought this meant the series was over and his team had won without him even having to do anything. However Sasadango had one more trick up his sleeve. As much as he works hard for DDT, he does not have a contract with them and in fact wrestles as a freelancer. He is not really a DDT wrestler so that means the result of his match against Goto does not count towards the contest! Yano was furious over the revelation and demanded whoever is in charge of DDT to come out and face him. Sanshiro Takagi did just that and introduced himself to Yano as the supreme commander of DDT. For one more twist of the knife, Takagi and Yano would now face off in a Weapon Rumble!

The rules are a new weapon would be brought down to the ring Royal Rumble style and each weapon was decided upon by either DDT or New Japan. Yano complained that his team didn’t prepare any weapons but Sasadango revealed that he surveyed YOH about it beforehand and was able to get the weapons he suggested. The weapons included a blonde wig, a fire extinguisher, a “Yano Set” of a chair and sake, Mecha Mummy armed with the Mecha Drill, Daisuke Sasaki drinking tequila and El Desperado drinking tequila. The big surprise of all came when Takagi brought out his greatest weapon, Konosuke Takeshita! He had travelled to Japan just to be at this show and he attacked Yano on Takagi’s behalf. But just as Takeshita was about to give Yano the Raging Fire, the countdown for Yano’s next weapon fell to zero and it was revealed to be… Konosuke Takeshita?!? He played along with the rules and switched to attacking Takagi until Takagi started protesting. He said Takeshita belongs to DDT while Yano argued he also belongs to New Japan. Sasadango then stepped into the ring with Tanahashi as everyone agreed this was an issue that needed to be sorted out immediately.

Sasadango pointed out to Takeshita that this is the drawback to having contracts with three different wrestling companies. Two of them are here today so he needed to make a choice between them. Takagi spoke about Takeshita contacting him at 15 years old asking to become a pro wrestler because he was so confident he could reach to the top. Takagi always believes Takeshita will come back to DDT even when he is winning championships in AEW and New Japan. Tanahashi reminded Takeshita of the singles match they had in Sumo Hall back in 2014. He could feel Takeshita’s potential all the way back then and he still has high expectations for him going forward.

Sasadango handed Takeshita a “Final Rose” for him to give to the person he wants to be with (exactly like what Yuma Anzai experienced in Japan’s version of The Bachelorette recently). Takeshita said when he watched NJPW as a kid it gave him dreams and DDT made those dreams come true. He belongs to both companies solely out of gratitude with a desire to repay their kindness. He told Tanahashi he will do his best to protect NJPW from now on. He also made a promise to Takagi he will work hard to help him bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome!

Takeshita was about to hand the Final Rose to both Tanahashi and Takagi when Yano angrily cut him off. Yano complained he cannot choose both and Sasadango agreed that nobody would be satisfied with this ending. Sasadango then said if DDT carelessly goes into the Tokyo Dome and fails miserably then DDT will be finished and everyone will be left out on the streets! All of a sudden Yano & Sasadango now wanted to fight Takeshita in a Handicap match. It didn’t take long for Takeshita to dispatch both of them before pinning Sasadango with the Raging Fire.

After the impromptu match, Takeshita felt it was time he explained himself. He couldn’t find the way to properly convey his feelings up to this point so he got Muscle Sakai to help him out by creating a PowerPoint Presentation for him. It is titled “Why I Belong To Three Pro Wrestling Organizations” He introduced himself as a 31 year old wrestler currently living in Orlando with two special skills: working out and pro wrestling. He won the KO-D Openweight Title in DDT at a young age and still holds the record for most title defences. In New Japan he won the G1 Climax and then held the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. Recently in AEW he defeated Kazuchika Okada (the crowd popped at the mention of this) to become the new AEW International Champion. He is confident he is one of the busiest wrestlers in the world.

He gets all sorts of requests from the companies he works for. NJPW wants him on more domestic tours, DDT wants him to bring them to the Tokyo Dome and AEW doesn’t want any other company taking him away from them. The reason he is signed to all three companies is a simple one. He wants to share his world of pro wrestling to more people. He felt left out when he was not a part of last year’s DDT Vs New Japan show and it is one of his biggest regrets because he belongs to both companies. An all star show like this is supposed to be the most entertaining showdown but there are many ways for people to entertain themselves these days. Takeshita has other hobbies to keep himself occupied but pro wrestling will always be the most interesting.

So Takeshita has come up with three ideas that will prove his point. The first idea is he wants to hold the world’s largest pro wrestling league consisting of 365 wrestlers all fighting each other in a gigantic year long round robin tournament! He watches so much wrestling in his off time that he is subscribed to all of the different streaming services. That means he’s been able to carefully select a list of 365 wrestlers from all over the world he wants to compete and has also created a tentative schedule of matches to be held across Japan so there will be tournament events every single day from the opening bouts on 1st January all the way to the final night on 31st December! He understands the schedule might be difficult to pull off which is why he thinks the league should only be held once every four years likes the Olympics.

 

Takeshita’s second idea is to revise pro wrestling’s rules so they are more in line to modern times. He recognizes that violence doesn’t solve anything and disputes can be resolved through discussion. A suggestion he has is to introduce AI judging and a scoring system based on technical points, artistic points, and compositional skills. His example of a scoring system that works is the annual M-1 Grand Prix comedy show that is always a huge hit at the end of the year. His third idea is to ultimately unify the world of pro wrestling. Today the polar opposites that are New Japan and DDT fought each other in exciting ways because of their completely different styles. If doing this with two companies is exciting then imagine adding countless more into the mix. In order to achieve that goal, Takeshita believes he must first become the world’s No. 1 pro wrestler! He asked for everyone’s support so they can all create the perfect world where pro wrestling is the best.

The presentation touched the hearts of everyone who listened… Well, almost everyone. Takagi was still in a fired up competitive mood and wasn’t going to stand there letting the action go to waste. He tried to rally the other wrestlers around him but everyone went over to the other side of the ring and all stared him down. It was time for the final match where Takagi had to fight everyone else all by himself! He got pummeled by everyone one after the other until Takeshita finished him off with a Stunner.

The show was now reaching its end and a few wrestlers wanted to give their final words. Sasadango asked all of the NJPW fans watching to continue supporting Takeshita. That request goes to the wrestlers in Hontai too. Yano announced that Takeshita was the winner of today’s series and Takagi told him to liven up the wrestling world even more. Tanahashi then led everyone to say the same catchphrase that was used to end last year’s show: “3, 2, 1, Love Muscle! Muscle!”

Wait, wait, wait, hang on. There’s one more thing. After everyone left the ring, Sasadango and Akito both suddenly remembered something and ran out of the room. They rushed through a hallway to find a closed out locker room featuring the final secret weapon that they completely forgot to use during the show. They opened up the door and there inside was the furious NOAH wrestler Kenoh! He demanded to know where Toru Yano was while Sasadango & Akito both desperately apologized to him. It turns out that even though DDT is the last place Kenoh ever wants to be, he has been trying to pick a fight with Yano for ages and agreed to be part of Sasadango’s plan if it meant he could finally get his hands on Yano. That didn’t happen so Kenoh stormed out of Korakuen Hall and went down to the NJPW store in near Suidobashi in search of Yano. The shop was closed and Yano was nowhere to be found so Kenoh decided to start a livestream on his YouTube channel and complain about the whole thing.


BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 30: NEW MOON ON MONDAY” Results

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 30: NEW MOON ON MONDAY”, 19/05/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Chie Koishikawa defeated Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Seki when Koishikawa pinned Ueki with a School Boy (17:40).
2. Special Single Match: The Great American Indie Wrestler defeated Anarko Montaña with the Package Piledriver through a Plastic Case (11:50).
3. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) defeated Baliyan Akki with the Backslide From California (17:04).
*V2 for Mr. Bueno.
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Mr. Malo with the Bar-Pulled Manjigatame (11:51).

The weirdness of Baka Gaijin + Friends is an atmosphere that Baliyan Akki is quick to adapt to but this is still Mr. Bueno’s house. With his brother Mr. Malo by his side, Bueno was able to survive a potential arm injury to defend the BK-G Openweight Title. Bueno and Malo held Akki in an Arm Wringer and convinced the audience to link up a daisy chain by holding hands together. The Arm Wringer charged through the audience until it rebounded, leading to Akki popping out Bueno’s shoulder. However Bueno popped it back in and tagged Malo to fight for him. Malo threw his poncho over Daisuke Kiso’s head so the referee couldn’t see him give Akki the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Bueno tagged back in and did his own version of the I Am The Apex Elbow Drop. Akki fought against the numbers game and brought a more serious edge to the title match but couldn’t find a way to win. He ended up duelling for a Gory Special position that was instead countered by Bueno into a Backslide Pin to win the match.

Bueno made a demand to Chris Brookes afterwards for Mr. Malo to have a match to close out the show. Brookes told him that all of the wrestlers here had competed already but Bueno revealed he invited his own friend to show up and wrestle Malo. This person is not a “Baka Gaijin” though. He is the “Baka Survivor” Shinya Aoki! He used the tight confines of ARENA Shimokitazawa to keep the fight to mostly grappling holds and chain moves. He then used the scenary to his advantage, putting Malo in a Standing Octopus Hold and reaching up to grab a bar from the ceiling to apply even more pressure until Malo submitted to him.

Anarko Montaña’s original opponent for the show MAO was nowhere to be seen. Instead when it was time for MAO’s entrance, “Walk” by Pantera played and a person known as The Great American Indie Wrestler appeared chanting “Five Star” at everybody. He tried to hype up the crowd by swearing in English over and over until Montaña got the jump on him during a handshake. Wrestler brought out a Singapore Cane to turn the match hardcore but he missed Montaña and hit himself with the stick by mistake. He got his second wind when fans started chanting “Fight Forever” and pulled out a bag filled with another foreign object. He was just as confused as everyone else when he pulled out a carrot from the bag but made up for it by finding a bundle of skewers to dig into the top of Montaña’s head. Montaña brought out a plastic box to try and fight back but was made to regret it when Wrestler crashed him through the box with the Package Piledriver to win the match.

The show started with Ueki’s Magic Kingdom bringing along some surprises for their opponents. First, Munek is completely healed from his neck injury and is able to fight again. However Ram Kaichow isn’t in Japan right now so Dark King Ueki used his magic vase to transfer her captured soul into another body for the time being. That body belongs to Kota Sekifuda so he has now temporarily become Princess Seki! The Kingdom went and captured a member of the audience to hold them hostage while Brookes’s team all fought to rescue her. The Kingdom also grabbed another fan and shoved his face into Ueki’s hairy chest. Things went out of control when Munek used magic on Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune attack, leading to almost everyone being magically forced to Gongitsune pinch their own nipples. Chie Koishikawa ran into the middle of this to stop everyone but they all ganged up on her instead. However she ducked the group Bionic Elbow so they all hit each other and she rolled up Ueki to get the three count.

April 9, 2026

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~”, 09/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans

1. Daichi Sato, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai when Ishida pinned Kasai with the Flame Palm (7:19).
2. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) defeated Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno when Ilusion pinned Maligno with the Swanton Bomb (9:02).
3. Junta Miyawaki’s First Beer Garden Pro Wrestling ~ Only Miyawaki Drunk Death Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO), Antonio Honda and To-y when Miyawaki pinned Honda after a Bionic Elbow from MAO (11:44).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (9:43).
5. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya ended in a No Contest (19:32).
6. Special Tag Match ~ Yuni University Entrance Commemorative Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Yuni pinned Hirata with an Inside Cradle (13:41).

It’s time for Yuni to be treated like a grown up now he’s in college. He was warned in the main event that Danshoku Dieno would be merciless against him. Shunma Katsumata promised to protect Yuni but Dieno immediately gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver to kick off the match. Yuni had to fight Dieno & Kazuki Hirata on his own. Katsumata recovered but then had “Danshoku Water” sprayed over him, making him suddenly target Yuni because he’s so cute! Many DDT wrestlers ran in to make the save only to also get sprayed with the water, making them all obsess over Yuni too. Even Hisaya Imabayashi got sprayed but Yuni took care of him with a Buzzsaw Kick. Hirata opened the spray and poured it into Yuni’s mouth but Yuni passed it back by giving Hirata the Lip Lock. That made Hirata turn full Danshoku and he even put on the Danshoku costume. He tried to give Yuni the Danshoku Driver but it was countered into a Small Package to give Yuni the win. Yuni still had some residue left in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it after the match. It made him obsess over Daisuke Kiso and he chased the ref out of the ring. Katsumata closed out the show and Yuni came back to chase after him too. Yuni claims he doesn’t remember anything that happened after the match ended.

This year’s Beer Garden show began with a more business like presentation with everyone wearing employee suits for the King Of Drunk match. That just meant when it was time to start drinking, all of the wrestlers decided to really get loose. Yuki Iino got so drunk he stripped down to his underwear, causing Rukiya to complain that everyone was getting too rowdy. The problem was he was so drunk he almost threw up and had to go find a restroom. One by one a wrestler would either get eliminated by pinfall or just drop out of the match entirely because they were too drunk. By the end of the match nobody was left in a good state so it had to be called off without a winner decided.

The tag team of Nautilus hasn’t been around together since October 2020. Yuki Ueno talked to Naomi Yoshimura about the nostalgia he felt when he heard their theme song again. He also thinks today’s reunion will help Yoshimura move forward again. Yoshimura said a lot has changed over the last year going back to his return from injury. He’ll do his best to keep improving.

Junta Miyawaki was so excited to take part in his first Beer Garden show. He wanted the 4 Way Match to have drinking rules so everyone could get drunk. However the other participants were all responsible and declined for various reasons, such as needing to drive a vehicle after the show. The 4 Way instead had a rule where only Miyawaki was allowed to drink whenever music interrupted the match. He got so drunk that he only won the match by accident, tripping himself on top of a knocked out Antonio Honda for the pinfall while MAO and To-y were too busy fighting each other to stop it.

There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match held before any of the matches began. During it Hideki Okatani revealed he will defend the title against Yukio Naya in a Hardcore Table Crash Death Match! It is a Hardcore match that can be won by pinfall, submission or putting your opponent through a table. The two fought in a tag match later in the show where Okatani attacked Naya with his bamboo stick while Ilusion gave Viento Maligno his first pinfall loss. Naya got some payback afterwards by Choke Slamming Okatani through a table set up at ringside. Ilusion got on the microphone next to his prone stablemate anyway and said Okatani will beat Naya on 15th April!

The pre-show press conference also had Ueno and Iino talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match. Iino explained that he is living his life to the fullest every day because he is in the prime of his life right now. Even when he is sitting down he will speak and shout with all of his might. Ueno said he himself has lived in the present more than anyone else for the last six months and he is certain Iino will burn to his fullest at Korakuen Hall on 15th April.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 29: TONIC IMMOBILITY”, 07/04/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes & Chie Koishikawa defeated “Princess Ram” (Dark King Ueki) & “Munek” (Princess Ram) (w/ “Dark King Ueki” (Munek)) when Koishikawa submitted Ram with an Octopus Hold (12:48).
2. Noise Prevention Silence Death Match: Baliyan Akki defeated Mr. Malo when Malo sneezed (9:01).
3. Yuya Aoki & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Yuya MAOki & Daisuke Sekifuda when Sekimoto pinned Sekifuda with a Lariat (13:20).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) defeated Antonio Honda with a Backslide Pin (19:40).
*V1 for Mr. Bueno.

It was back to business as usual for Baka Gaijin + Friends after playing hosts to Mystery Wrestling last month. Although for this show we had a championship challenge laid out in advance. Antonio Honda had confronted Mr. Bueno in the outside world a couple of weeks ago to ask for a shot at the BK-G Openweight Title. When the going got tough for Bueno, he “tagged in” Mr. Malo to help him fight Honda. Malo got away with it by throwing his poncho over Daisuke Kiso’s head so he wouldn’t see anything. Honda then injured his knee but as he tried to tell his Gongitsune joke, Bueno showed good sportsmanship by wrapping tape around the injured knee. He then realized Honda’s injury was something he could target so he focused his attacks there. Honda fought back by choking Bueno with the tape and then using it to tie them together like it was a strap match. It backfired when he ended up tangling his hands together while doing the Bionic Elbow. Bueno blocked the Gongitsune joke because he doesn’t understand Japanese and he ended up countering another Bionic Elbow into a Backslide Pin to win the match. After the match Baliyan Akki walked out and challenged Bueno for the title at the next show on 19th May.

It turns out that Baka Gaijin has its own Strong BK division of wrestlers. MAO & Kota Sekifuda entered the room pretending to be the Big Japan pair of Yuya Aoki and Daisuke Sekimoto. Then the real Aoki and Sekimoto entered the room looking bemused at the appearance of their doppelgangers. For an added BJW bonus, Takayuki Ueki briefly joined Mr. HAKU on commentary to impersonate Hirotsugu Suyama. The real Strong BJ wrestlers showed the pretenders what they are all about but their opponents found spots to copy those movements back at them. What they couldn’t replicate was Sekimoto’s strength. He grabbed Aoki and Sekifuda together to give them a Double German Suplex before Lariating Sekifuda down to the mat for the three count.

Today was Akki’s first time meeting Mr. Malo but there was a communication issue because Malo never speaks. Akki took it upon himself to make Malo speak by force by challenging him to a Noise Prevention Silence Death Match! I either wrestler made a loud sound they would lose so both of them were very careful with how they fought each other. The action was slow and methodical in more ways than one until Kiso was knocked aside. Akki screamed at Malo while Kiso was distracted but Malo fought back by taking out his black mask an wrapping it over Akki’s face. Malo then grabbed a flower and brushed it under Akki’s nose expecting him to sneeze but nothing happened. Instead Akki grabbed the flower a few minutes later and did the same to Malo to get the intended result!

Something felt a bit off about Ueki’s Magic Kingdom in the opening match. Their opponents Chris Brookes & Chie Koishikawa had to ignore the unusual atmosphere to fight their enemies and win the match. “Munek” used a bubble wand to summon walls to throw Brookes into but still had a neck injury to worry about. Brookes & Koishikawa weren’t afraid to target that neck injury when necessary. “Princess Ram” was more focused towards acting cute than usual while “Dark King Ueki” stood on the sidelines instructing his minions. The Magic Kingdom brought out a chained swing to attach from the ceiling but Brookes ended up trapping “Munek” on it in midair, becoming completely unable to save “Ram” from giving up to Koishikawa’s Octopus Hold. Brookes at least had the right idea to lift “Munek” back down after the match.

*V6 for Yuki Ueno.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Antonio Honda defeated Glasses (c) by Destruction (18:47).
*Antonio Honda becomes the 1,813rd champion.

The 29th Anniversary of DDT was also the first attempt by KANON to try and win the KO-D Openweight Title. For the weeks leading up to this match, KANON had been winning matches with the Lariat so Yuki Ueno tried to weaken it by hitting KANON’s hand off the corner post early on. KANON would still use the Lariat as an equalizer but then tried using his other moves to win. The Cobra Twist, Sleepy Hollow and LONELY DEZIRES wouldn’t work so he went back to the Lariat. However Ueno’s well time Dropkick to the face helped him to set up the Blackout Sleeper to squeeze the life out of KANON. While he was eventually able to get out of it, KANON was then given the WR to put him down and out.

Ueno told KANON after the match that he’s been thinking about him a lot. He thinks KANON is strong, handsome, kind and also weird. If he wants to make it to the top of DDT he cannot stay the way he is now. KANON needs to show more. Still, Ueno had fun and reminded KANON he’s been part of the DDT family even going back to when he was part of DAMNATION T.A. When he was done, Yuki Iino got into the ring feeling moved by Ueno’s speech. Iino asked for a title match because Ueno was his senior who taught him everything about pro wrestling back when Iino was a trainee. Ueno was also Iino’s first ever opponent. Ueno said he would accept the challenge on the condition that Iino would not immediately attack him after they shake hands. Iino agreed and they shook hands without incident. Ueno then told the fans he will carry the hopes of everybody as DDT moves into its 30th year.

After several failed attempts, Kazuma Sumi solved the puzzle and got to pin Daisuke Sasaki with the School Boy to win the DDT Universal Title! Sasaki targeted his leg from the get-go, including attacking the limb with a chair. A ref bump also led to the other members of DAMNATION T.A interfering on Sasaki’s behalf. Sumi fought against the odds but almost paid big by missing the Reverse 450 Splash. His luck then turned around when DAMNATION T.A interfered again only to backfire on Sasaki when Ilusion accidentally hit him with the chair. From there Sumi tried to pin Sasaki with the School Boy several times. Sasaki caught him in the Crossface Lock only for Sumi to counter it into another School Boy, this time pinning Sasaki down for the three count! Sasaki complained backstage that his “visa” for travelling the world was now taken from him and he’s trying to figure out does this mean he is being banished from the country? He only remembers being hit by a chair so that means Sumi cheated to win! Sasaki will accept his fate for now. He will go abroad, fall in love, get dumped and then come back home.

When Sumi celebrated with the title he said he is so glad he never gave up. He was able to keep going because of everyone’s support. He was then asked to nominated his first challenger for a title defence in Fukuoka on 18th April. Sumi chose Shunma Katsumata because he wants to repay him for all of his kindness ever since he debuted. However Sumi’s way of repaying Katsumata is to surpass him so he is not taking him lightly by putting this title match together. Katsumata agreed to the match and said he is going to treat Sumi as his equal. His way of repaying Sumi will be to crush him and win the Universal Title!

Kazuki Hirata was given the biggest entrance possible by having John Robinson sing him down to the ring with a live performance of “TOKYO GO!” Then after all of that hype, Konosuke Takeshita pinned Hirata in seconds after a Big Boot. A rematch immediately took place but Takeshita won again this time with an Elbow Butt that knocked Hirata out. Hirata begged for another rematch and Takeshita accepted. He even allowed Hirata to only need a 2 Count pin to beat him while Takeshita would need to pin Hirata for a 20 Count! The match began again with those conditions. This time Robinson got involved by stopping Takeshita from attacking Hirata with a chair. He also offered a pair of Hirata GO! glasses but Takeshita destroyed them. Robinson got on the mic to sing “TOKYO GO!” again in order to revive Hirata’s chances. This time Takeshita put on the glasses and started dancing only for Robinson to sneak in and Low Blow Takeshita! Hirata then got in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but Takeshita kicked out at one. Hirata’s comeback was cut off with the Wagamama knee strike but he somehow kicked out at 19! Another Miracle One Shot Cradle was done as a counter for the Raging Fire but Takeshita kicked out at one again. Possibly knowing how close of a call that was, Takeshita flipped Hirata over into the Walls Of Takeshita to win the match by submission instead of pinfall.

After the match Takeshita told Hirata his style of wrestling is one of a kind and it is time for him to become No. 1 in DDT again! He wants Hirata to show him the ultimate Dramatic Dream. Then they can have another rematch where this time Takeshita will need to pin Hirata for a 30 count! After they left the ring, DDT announced that Takeshita will return at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” in Sumo Hall on 11th August for a single match against Kaisei Takechi!

paleyouth got their first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence in the bag after beating Harimao today. The challengers were accompanied by Kazusada Higuchi but he stood by and did not get involved. Daichi Sato stood toe to toe with Naomi Yoshimura while Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku threw both Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida away with German Suplexes. The match came down to Masada dodging Ishida’s Flame Palm and then hitting him with two Manburi kicks for the victory.

The champions were then greeted by FANTÔMES DRAMATIC after the match. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda were there to get the next title shot until Honda talked about how dramatic it would be for a team with Hinata Kasai in it to win the titles from paleyouth. Masada asked if Kasai had even won a match yet? Kasai said he hasn’t but that doesn’t mean he cannot get his first win against them! He thinks the best way to celebrate his first win would be to hold championships with the rest of Fandora. All of a sudden, Brookes grabbed Bunbun and threw him into the audience! He went to retrieve him afterwards only to throw him to another part of the room! Masada swore revenge by declaring he will take all of his anger out on Kasai!

As part of the plan to get the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Minoru Suzuki, the opposing team in the Handicap Match took part in Gongitsune training before the match. Their logic is Suzuki’s biggest weakness is his eyeballs so it will be up to Honda to poke them. Hisaya Imabayashi bravely started the match with Suzuki but was left to fight by himself and was almost choked out with the Sleeper Hold. Sanshiro Takagi got into a Chop Battle with Suzuki while Danshoku Dieno stopped him with a Lip Lock. When Honda’s attempts at Gongitsune kept on failing, Suzuki got on the microphone to ask everyone how long is DDT going to keep doing this kind of pro wrestling? This is the kind of pro wrestling that makes New Japan wrestlers look down on them! He called Takagi the root of all evil but then admitted to having good memories with everyone in the ring with him. Honda finally poked him in the eye with Gongitsune during the speech but Suzuki didn’t react. He revealed he had trained his eyeballs in anticipation for this match! Honda charged up Gongitsune by using Dieno’s Hell Gate but Suzuki blocked it by stealing Imabayashi’s glasses and putting them on to act as a shield. Suzuki then fought off Toru Owashi & Super Sasadango Machine but was caught with the Stunner by Takagi. Suzuki resisted the impact at first but soon ran out of energy and collapsed to the match. Everyone piled on top of him to get the pinfall but Daisuke Kiso declared afterward that it was Imabayashi’s glasses that pinned Suzuki which means the Glasses are now the Iron Man Champion! Later at the end of the show Honda found the glasses over at the timekeeper’s table and destroyed them to be declared the new champion.

The rule for the DDT Extreme Title match was Yukinori Matsui had to wear a helmet with a button attached to it on his head. If To-y or Hideki Okatani pressed the button, they would then need to make Matsui laugh during a staring contest. Succeeding in that would allow them to use a bamboo sword as a legal weapon for one minute. To-y was eager to follow those rules while Okatani was not in the humour to mess around like that. When he kept ignoring the rule, Matsui told Okatani he wants him to make him laugh. Okatani finally obliged and made a funny face to make Matsui collapse in laughter. Okatani then whacked To-y over the head with the bamboo stick and pinned him with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster to become the new Extreme Champion.

After the match KIMIHIRO appeared at the entrance to make an introduction for Yukio Naya. When Naya got into the ring he told Okatani that “extreme” means big so he’s going to use his size to take the Extreme Title from him! Okatani called Naya arrogant but accepted his challenge for 15th April. According to him, just because Naya is big doesn’t mean he can beat Okatani to win the title. Meanwhile To-y accepted defeat and praised Okatani for being the star of the match even though he expected Okatani would remain as a supporting character.

Fandora have another championship match to look forward to soon. Brookes & HARASHIMA teamed up against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki to determine the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Miyawaki almost had HARASHIMA beat with the Sunshine Clutch but Brookes broke up the pin. HARASHIMA fired himself back up to put Miyawaki on the defensive and used the Somato on Aoki to knock him off the ring apron. Meanwhile Brookes gave Miyawaki a Piledriver, rolling him into position for another Somato to give Fandora the win. Backstage HARASHIMA said they knew their opponents had moves that could beat them regardless of how much stamina they had so it was up to their own teamwork to get past any close calls and win.

It was 29th June, 2025 when Shunma Katsumata last wrestled a proper match. Now after spending the last nine months rehabilitating from a torn ACL he was back in action and wrestling his good friend MAO. They wasted no time in setting their pace and MAO even broke a few plastic boxes in the process. Katsumata went for the Totonou Splash but MAO blocked it with his knees. Katsumata tried to fire himself back up after taking the Michinoku Driver II but he was put away with a Running Palm Strike afterward. Katsumata spoke about how happy he is to be back in the ring after 265 days. As long as he gets to wrestle like this he will never complain. He might get injured again but he’ll recover and return again no matter how many times it happens! MAO said he hopes this is the last time Katsumata has a comeback match. He and Katsumata will also make sure they will never put themselves in a position where they have to forfeit a championship again.

The 3 Way Tag Match featured the DDT debut of Masami Inahata. He got to start off the match against Kumadori until Ilusion got involved trying to form alliances. When that didn’t work, MJ Paul went on the attack by targeting Makoto Oishi. Inahata got his moment by giving Paul a Brainbuster but Ilusion ruined it by giving Inahata a Low Blow afterward. In the end it was the teamwork of Viento Maligno & Kumadori that won out. Kumadori did a Fosbury Flop onto everyone outside the ring while Maligno pinned Ilusion with his finisher to win. Kumadori liked teaming with Maligno but wishes they could communicate better because Maligno doesn’t seem to understand Japanese. Oishi told Inahata that today is a new beginning for him and he will become even bigger in DDT.

Evil Uno was welcomed back into DDT for a tag match against The Apex. Uno teamed with Akito but the pair of them were overwhelmed by the power of Iino & Naya. One big Spear from Iino to Akito was all it took to end the match. Iino hasn’t been wrestling that much lately but he reminded everyone he is still training hard. Uno said he should be unhappy over the result but the last time he was in DDT he had to kiss Dieno’s butt so today was a much better experience for him.

Jun Akiyama stood before Rukiya as his big challenge in the opening contest. Rukiya tried to deal some damage outside the ring only for Akiyama to do that to him instead. Rukiya was able to rope break his way out of a Crab Hold and he also kicked out of the Exploder Suplex. Akiyama waited patiently to hit him with a Knee Strike before using another Exploder to beat him.

One of the dark matches was put together by Tokyo Joshi Pro to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” taking place at Sumo Hall on 29th March. HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase went on to beat Toga, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. Kazashiro scored the win for her team and got to advertise the show for her post match victory speech.

The other dark match was Yuni taking on Hinata Kasai. As already mentioned earlier, Kasai still has not won a match by himself yet. He tried to submit Yuni with the STF but Yuni got out of it and used the Jorge Clutch out of an Arm Drag to pin him.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE” Results

February 24, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Yuta Oya by Referee Stoppage with the House Piano Death (10:47).
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Somato (15:12).
3. Chie Koishikawa, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo defeated Dark King Ueki, Princess Ram & Square Kong (w/ Munek) when Malo pinned Ueki after the Mexico Vacation (16:16).
4. Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita ended in a Draw after both of them ate a Wasabi Cream Puff (13:22).

Miyu Yamashita was in for a shock when she made her Baka Gaijin + Friends debut. Antonio Honda told her before the main event they they would fight in the dreaded Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match! After every two count fall, the wrestler who was pinned must eat a random cream puff taken from a pan. If it turns out to be a cream puff filled with wasabi (and everyone will be able to tell very easily by the reaction), the wrestler will lose. The environment reminded Yamashita of her early days as a wrestler fighting in small idol concert venues. So when Honda wound himself up for the Bionic Elbow, Yamashita joined in by doing her old Dschinghis Khan dance (the Berryz Kobo version). After a few close calls, the match unexpectedly ended in a draw when Honda and Yamashita tied each other up in a Backslide Pin and both were pinned. They then each ate a cream puff and immediately fled out of the room in despair because it turned out there was wasabi in both of them!

Even though Munek was unable to wrestle due to injury, he still wanted Ueki’s Magic Kingdom to find a princess and hold them hostage. They were easily stopped by the other team. So Dark King Ueki quickly summoned a new ally, an ape named Square Kong! The newcomer went on a rampage until Mr. Bueno slapped him with his glove over and over. Bueno then made his team form a Gundam with Chie Koishikawa so the Magic Kingdom did the same with Princess Ram on top. The Gundam duel went well for Bueno’s team until Munek cast an invisible carrier for them to walk into. At one point during the match Mr. Malo had his poncho pulled over his head. When it was taken off he had is black mask back on and he started fighting his opponents like a rudo. Meanwhile Ueki & Kong ate bananas to power themselves up during the match, including a star banana that Munek gave to Kong that made him strong enough to pull out a barrel and attack the others with it! Bueno & Koishikawa used the barrel against Kong to wipe him out. The match then reached its end when Bueno & Malo did an assisted Codebreaker double team move called the Mexico Vacation onto Ueki.

In some of Kota Sekifuda’s previous Baka Gaijin appearances he would bring along his pet snake to use in his matches. However yesterday he was booked for an All Japan show and they banned him from bringing his snake along, which meant he wasn’t able to bring the snake over to this show either. It resulted in his match with HARASHIMA being a more serious back and forth with both men chopping each other’s chests red. Sekifuda used an Overhead Kick on HARASHIMA but the roll up afterwards ended up with HARASHIMA getting back to his feet and hitting a short range Somato. He then ran across the room to hit a more traditional Somato for the victory.

The big match of the day was put in the opening bout position. Chris Brookes had wanted to wrestle Yuta Oya after hearing the story of him becoming a pro wrestler despite being completely blind. Given the small space of the venue, Oya was capable of fighting Brookes from close range so his lack of sight was not a detriment. He had Chop exchanges with Brookes and got to slam him onto the floor a few times too. Oya also took some Penalty Kicks before catching one so he could Lariat Brookes for a nearfall. Brookes almost beat him with a Piledriver and had to wrap himself around Oya with the Octopus Hold, pulling him down into the House Piano Death until Daisuke Kiso called for the bell and stopped the match. Brookes told everyone that Oya did not give up just like Oya has not given up in life. Oya said he will be going back to wrestle in Nagoya and he will keep training so he can come back to wrestle in Tokyo again.

At the end of the show Brookes had an announcement to make. Today was Sekifuda’s last appearance in Baka Gaijin + Friends! Sekifuda was confused and asked what did Brookes mean by that? Brookes said Sekifuda has lost all of his matches since coming here and isn’t popular judging by how much merch he sells at shows. Brookes also took offence to Sekifuda acting like he is part of the group by pretending he was gifted a Baka Gaijin hoodie when he really just bought one online! Honda assured Sekifuda that as a freelancer he has the ability to respond to this in his own way. Sekifuda decided he will run his own produced show on 19th June in Itabashi! He then asked if he could book Brookes on the show as a way of thanking him for the Baka Gaijin bookings. Brookes doesn’t want to do it alone so he agreed to it if Honda gets booked too. Sekifuda accepted and already knows what match to book. Brookes & Honda will face Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto in a battle between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and Big Japan! Brookes was happy with the idea and decided Sekifuda will be allowed back into Baka Gaijin.

The next Baka Gaijin show will take place on 17th March as a joint show with Evil Uno and Mystery Wrestling.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
347 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase defeated Toga & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Aratame (9:58).
2. Hyper Misao, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with the Hypami Returns (10:47).
3. Shoko Nakajima defeated Sara Phoenix with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:45).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Takami pinned Kazashiro after the Foot Stomp from Mizuki (13:46).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami when Endo pinned Toribami with the Ju no Okite (12:20).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi when Max pinned Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash (15:20).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Uehara submitted Ashida with the Banana Pillow (12:05).

With Round 2 out of the way now every team in this year’s Max Heart Tournament have had a match. Ober Eats are currently the team to be since they are the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions. They also knocked out the team featuring one half of the upcoming Sumo Hall main event. Kyoto Tag had their moment of taunting Wakana Uehara with some cheerleading but Yuki Kamifuku and her Big Boots were there to keep things in favour of the champions. While Yuki Arai was able to get rid of her with a Brainbuster, Mifu Ashida wasn’t able to capitalise. Instead Uehara trapped her in the Banana Pillow to get the win and advance Ober Eats into the semi finals. Uehara really wants to win the Max Heart trophies and she’s noticing that Kamifuku is becoming hungry for success too even though she’s not showing it. Ashida said if Kyoto Tag would have won today, they would have revealed their official tag team name. Unfortunately it’s going to be kept secret for a while longer. Ashida even thought up lyrics for a new entrance song. The only line she would reveal is “I love you, Arai♪ Let’s try harder♪” and it took up a lot of her brain power to come up with it.

The other half of the Sumo Hall main event was also knocked out of the tournament today despite her best efforts with her tag partner. Daydream walked out armed with their sasumata poles in an attempt to trap Pompaler with them. The poles worked on Pom Harajuku but Max The Impaler was able to power their way out of the trap. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi did what they could to slow Max down, even by using Harajuku as a weapon against them. But Max did the same to Daydream before pinning Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash for the victory. Daydream are both relieved they are still alive after the match but are disappointed to be knocked out so early. Both of them want to achieve a lot together this year whether if it is Daydream winning Best Tag Team Awards or Tatsumi becoming the Dragon God of everything. Pompaler now face Ober Eats in the semi final and the champions are not looking forward to that.

Only one team of former winners remain in the final four and that’s Daisy Monkey. They had to go through the kick heavy team of K!SS// to get here. Arisu Endo was able to block Kaya Toribami from going for the Sento Choryu while Suzume took out Miyu Yamashita with the Ring A Bell. Toribami tried to kick her way out of trouble but Endo stunned her with a Super Kick before getting the win using her Ju no Okite finisher. Daisy Monkey are feeling confident together now they are reunited and they really want to win this tournament again. They also now wonder if they can challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles? Would they have to go to Thailand to make it happen? K!SS// already have a title defence lined up over there happening next month though.

In something of an upset, the makeshift team of Mizuki & Uta Takami have eliminated Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in the 2nd Round! Mizuki’s craftiness won out in the end when she saw an opening to do a Double Stomp onto Haru Kazashiro while she was trying to bridge a pin on top of Takami. Kazashiro didn’t notice that Takami rolled out of the way and definitely didn’t expect Mizuki to come in and stomp her flat. Takami immediately jumped on top for the pin and got the three count. Yuki Aino apologised for not being there to stop the pin but Kazashiro told her neither of them are to blame for losing. Mizuki said that since the team has made it this far, they should make a miracle happen and go even further. They have to beat Daisy Monkey in the semi final if they want to make that miracle a reality.

Super Sasadango Machine was in attendance for the show to help promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening at Sumo Hall on 29th March. He is the PR Ambassador for the show but wants everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro to do their part in promoting the big event. That includes Tetsuya Koda who received a big request from Sasadango. Koda was told to go find an important special guest from outside of wrestling to come to the show and have a debut match! The guest needs to be such a big name that her appearance by itself can fill up Sumo Hall. Koda agreed to take the request and will find someone famous to compete in their pro wrestling debut.

Sasadango was brought back out later in the show because he was part of another important announcement. Hyper Misao declared that she is going to take on Yuka Sakazaki & Konosuke Takeshita at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and Sasadango will be her tag team partner! Sasadango was confused because he thought the newly married couple of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi were going to be the mystery team facing Sakazaki & Takeshita. Misao told him to shut up and explained the better opponents for them would be the most incomprehensible tag team the wrestling world can come up with, which is Misao & Sasadango. Misao also wanted to fire up Sasadango because his efforts to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” lately haven’t been up to his usual standards. Even if Sasadango’s appearance on the show only sells one ticket, how can he expect to sell out Sumo Hall if he can’t even take care of the one precious fan who bought that ticket? She also explained that the PR in TJPW PR Ambassador means Pro Wrestling Ring, not Public Relations. That means Sasadango has no choice but to accept this match! Misao also has another goal she wants to achieve out of this. She wants to beat Sakazaki & Takeshita so she can earn four contracts across DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time! Sasadango is thinking even bigger and wants to get contracts with every wrestling company out there.
