7. Mr. Bueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes & Zack Sabre Jr. when Bueno pinned Brookes with a Diving Body Press from the human pyramid (?:??).

Let’s give it up for Chris Brookes making it to 18 years in the wrestling business! Let’s give it up to Baka Gaijin + Friends for making it to three years too. The third anniversary for this island of misfit toys was held away from the usual home of ARENA Shimokitazawa. They went for a bigger room this time by going to Shinjuku FACE but still held the show without a ring to keep it as the genuine article.

The main event was Brookes taking on someone who was kept a mystery to the fans until it was time for his entrance. It was Zack Sabre Jr.! The name of the bout was “A Match Of Hate?” and the two showed no mercy to each other by fighting amongst the crowd. Sabre’s close friend Antonio Honda had no choice but to do the rubber band spot to him while Brookes also dropped a child onto Sabre’s prone body afterwards. Sabre got some of his own licks in by Back Body Dropping Brookes onto the venue’s counter before bringing him back to the centre of the room to further pick Brookes apart. The two continued to go back and forth until Brookes gave Sabre the Praying Mantis Bomb and the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

The action didn’t stop there because after the match MAO interrupted Brookes on the microphone and started arguing with him. Mr. Bueno ran down to bring peace but was left insulted when Sabre told him to fuck off. Everyone then started telling each other to fuck off until MAO & Bueno agreed to fight Brookes & Sabre, starting an impromptu bonus tag match! More chaotic brawling followed and screeched to a halt when Sabre tripped over the mat and hurt his knee. Honda got on the microphone to tell a Gongitsune joke only for MAO to stop him. MAO then summoned all of the other wrestlers on the show to lead a train attack at Sabre seated in the remains of the front row. That ended when Minoemon stopped himself in front of Sabre to tell him he was Minoru Suzuki in disguise! The two hugged and launched a counter attack on everyone, Brookes included. Their rampage was stopped with a fire extinguisher attack from Takagi Sanshirobo, which then resulted in Takayuki Ueki & Munetatsu Nakamura entering the room as cops. They suddenly held everyone at gunpoint threatening to shut the show down. MAO disarmed Nakamura but tragedy struck during the scramble to get the other gun from Ueki. Brookes succeeded in grabbing the gun but accidentally shot Sabre in the process! Brookes cradled the wounded Sabure in his arms until Sabre fainted. Out of desperation, Brookes charged the other team only to get knocked out by MAO’s Hurricane Kick. Bueno then threw Takeshi Masada on top of Brookes and ordered all of the other wrestlers to form a pyramid for him to climb. From the top of the pyramid, Bueno thanked the fans and jumped off to hit a Diving Body Press onto Masada and Brookes. He then pinned Brookes for the victory. After the match Brookes revived Sabre by pouring a can of beer into his mouth.

The stakes were high for the fated singles battle between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. First, the BK-G Openweight Title held by Malo was on the line. Not only that but the loser of the match would have to unmask! Bueno had Malo’s cheating scouted yet respectfully kept allowing Malo to get back to his feet so they could fight on even terms. His good sportsmanship almost blew the match for him when Malo used the ref Daisuke Kiso to shield himself and then Low Blow his opponent after Kiso was thrown aside. But Bueno kicked out of a DDT and the Unprettier. He then got his momnentum back through a series of cradles that ended with him pinning Malo with a Hurricanrana to win the championship! Still, Bueno was too much of a good person to unmask his opponent afterwards, instead allowing Malo to take off the mask himself. Malo placed his poncho over his head and pulled the mask off. He then removed the poncho to reveal he is now wearing a white mask instead of his black on. Bueno couldn’t believe what he saw until he found the words to tell everyone what he was looking at… “My brother? I thought you died. I’m so happy!” The two brothers, now united, hugged to the applause of everyone in the room.

The Great Baka Mecha Wars couldn’t wait for all of the participants to be involved before it began. Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo immediately went to fight each other but soon the third fighter appeared. It was Minoemon, who as mentioned above was Minoru Suzuki disguised as the anime character Doraemon. He sat around with a bag of groceries, drinking beer and eating dorayaki until the other two robots attacked him. Minoemon and Sanshirobo brawled in the crowd while Mecha MAO stacked up some plastic cases and set out a table on top of them in the middle of the room. Mecha MAO and Sanshirobo then formed their own Megazord combination but it was all ruined when Minoemon poured water over the both of them. Mecha MAO short circuited around the room while Minoemon gave Sanshirobo the Gotch-Style Piledriver through the table and plastic cases to win the Mecha War.

The Brahman Brothers made a mess of their own with their match against Ueki’s Magic Kingdom. Things were made even worse when Karate Brahman decided to wipe natto all over his head. Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram all getting blinded with powder after that counts as a mercy killing in my book. I guess the damsel in distress who was kidnapped by the kingdom before the match was rescued as a result but it was anything but happy ever after.

Three members of the Daisetz band teamed up with one of their adoring fans in an 8-Man Tag Match. Chie Koishikawa was running around waving lightsticks for Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Hagane Shinno during their entrance. Facing them were the international foursome of Baliyan Akki from India, Shivam & Jonathan Johnson from Thailand and Sayaka from Japan. The two sides ended up getting into a Bionic Elbow duel. Everything then broke down until the Egg Tart team of Shinno & Koishikawa double cradled Sayaka for the pinfall.

The show opened with Shunma Katsumata announcing a Baka Battle Royal full of surprise entrants. Fuminori Abe and HARASHIMA started things off then were quickly joined by Shota and K4PY. Then Kota Sekifuda appeared carrying a large snake! He chased the wrestlers into the crowd where Abe picked up a child to hold up near the snake. HARASHIMA forced Abe to apologise while Sekifuda continued scaring everyone with his pet, even making Yukinori Matsui tap out even though he wasn’t part of the match. HARASHIMA finally put a stop to things by putting Sekifuda in a Cobra Twist while the snake was twisting itself around Sekifuda. He gave up and was the first elimination from the match. Shota was the next one gone when he and Takeshi Masada fought over a Backslide Pin. Abe kicked Masada in the stomach, unintentionally helping him roll Shota over for the pinfall. Suddenly danger happened when Dr. Cube entered the Battel along with two Kaiju from his posse: Erebus & Eargernon II. Together they ran wild on the other wrestlers and eliminated Abe, Masada and K4PY all at once. HARASHIMA showed shades of HERO! in trying to fight Dr Cube’s Posse off but he too also fell to them. It was all up to Shin Suzuki to save the day as the final entrant. He grabbed Dr. Cube’s helmet and twisted it off, removing his grisly face beneath and knocking him out with a neck snap in the process. He then pinned Erebus with the Takatonic to fully eliminate the Posse, making him the last man standing.

1. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

The rest of the card will be unannounced until the show takes place. What we do know is who will be showing up. The usual Baka Gaijin + Friends crew will be there along with Fuminori Abe, Hagane Shinno and somehow Dr. Cube from Kaiju Big Battel will be appearing too. He won’t be coming alone either…

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Ohka caused some trouble over in BASARA by prematurely promising a Union MAX Title shot to a old colleague of his. Ohka couldn’t win the title from Ryota Nakatsu so now it is up to the champion to deliver on that promise. Since the promise revolved around Union Pro, Nakatsu decided he will first defend the title against another wrestler who used to cut his teeth in the now obsolete promotion, Seiya Morohashi.

The show will have another title match involving a connective past shared between the champion and challenger. Takato Nakano wants to face Kosuke Sato with the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title on the line. The two of them used to train together in the Hamaguchi Gym and Takato believes they are equally skilled where they currently stand.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The promise Ohka made was to give Shuji Ishikawa a Union MAX Title match. Ishikawa was Union’s ace for a good chunk of its decade long existence but he never held the Union MAX Title. It bothered Ohka that the championship was being used in BASARA instead of being held by a Union wrestler like himself or Ishikawa. So Nakatsu has taken on the promise to give Ishikawa a title match at BASARA’s last show of the year. If Morohashi wins the title first then he will be the one defending it against Ishikawa. It would be a bad look for BASARA for its big main event to turn into a Union Pro tribute match featuring only outsiders but it is a risk that Nakatsu is willing to take if it can help the company’s business.

Hi, it’s me from the future again. Just like with the first “FUCKED UP FEST” I got the DVD and can finally write up the results of this show two months after it happened. The main event featured interference when Ueki’s Magic Kingdom summoned Megalodon Masuda to attack the other team. MAO called upon Tyrannosaurus Morozumi to rescue them but the dinosaur ended up attacking both teams. Shunma Katsumata then saved the day by attacking both monsters with a bundle of skewers, puncturing their costumes. His thanks for saving the day was Dark King Ueki breaking a plastic box over his head. Princess Ram Power Bombed Chris Brookes through a plastic box with the help from her teammates but Ryuichi Sekine broke the pin. A table was brought out and Ueki used the magic wand to cast a spell on MAO. However Brookes stopped Ueki and snapped the wand in half. A recovered MAO was then able to put Munek through a table with a Package Piledriver to win the match.

Takeshi Masada was about to beat Gabai Ji-chan with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki but Antonio Honda yelled at him to take it easy on his opponent so the old man wouldn’t get injured. Masada did what Honda said and performed his finisher slow and gently. But that meant the move had no effect and Ji-chan quickly tried to Cradle Masada for a nearfall. He then went for a Hurricanrana but Masada blocked the move and countered it into a Crab Hold to make Ji-chan submit. Masada lost his temper and kept Ji-chan in the submission hold after the match until he calmed down and let go.

All members of the band Daisetz were present for the Triple Threat match involving the three wrestlers in their group. Antonio Honda went a little crazy using Gongitsune. After he hit Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the move, he missed Hagane Shinno and accidentally hit one of the band members instead. The masked member got revenge by Dropkicking Honda and giving him a Kneeling Danshoku Driver (it wasn’t Danshoku Dieno under the mask). Shinno then did a Standing Moonsault on Honda and pinned him.

MAO and K4PY kept drinking beer during their match and would constantly strike each other in the stomach until one of them spat their beer out. MAO won that battle then used his Shikaku powers to withstand K4PY’s attacks. However K4PY eventually broke through MAO’s defences and got him to spit out his beer. MAO had to do a somersault dive from the stage to put L4PY in danger and then hit a Running Palm Strike to get the win.

During Match #5 Megalodon Masuda ended up having a wardrobe malfunction revealing that it was a human wearing a shark costume this whole time. Kota Ibushikoshi then disappeared only to run back into the room wearing a T-Rex outfit to launch a surprise attack on Ashikoki Saiko. He was stripped out of the costume too but he went on to win the match anyway.

The Munetatsu Nakamura versus Tatsuhiko Yoshino match broke out into song halfway through when Nakamura decided to go onto stage and sing for everyone. Yoshino tried to take the microphone from him but couldn’t. As the match went on, both of them sneezed so hard that the back of their trunks both fell down. Yoshino tried to strip Nakamura completely but Nakamura reversed the position and succeeded in pulling Yoshino’s trunks completely down instead. Yoshino kept trying to fight while hiding his shame and even used a Rolling Cradle for a nearfall but Nakamura reversed that to get the three count.

The Brahman Brothers brought along Karate Brahman to give them the numbers advantage against Mr. Malo & Mr. Bueno. To even the odds, Bueno said he had a friend to help him out. He called over Kota Sekifuda but he isn’t the friend he was talking about. Sekifuda brought out a sack and pulled a living snake out of it! Karate Brahman decided to fight the snake and dared Sekifuda to place it in his trunks. He later had some kind of rotten paste accidentaly rubbed on his face by the other Brahmans, leading Bueno to roll him up for the win while trying to withstand the smell.

Bunbun took part in some interference for the opening match, slightly helping Chris Brookes to beat up Kota Sekifuda. However Sekifuda brought out a ladder and did a Frog Splash from the top of it. Unfortunately for him, Brookes blocked it with his knees and kept pressuring him with moves until he pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. The two shared beers after the match.

Former DDT ring announcer Ken Kato worked the role for this show. He was fired from DDT in February 2024 and as far as I know had only worked a couple of wrestling related gigs since then.

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

June 25, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Shota Kofuji with the Lariat (11:12).
2. Isami Kodaka & Shiori Asahi Vs Yasu Urano & Hagane Shinno ended in a Draw when Asahi and Urano pinned each other (11:58).
3. Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi defeated Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano when Toba pinned Nakano with the Back Blow (11:16).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takeru Inoue with a Wrist Lock (12:32).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA submitted Kraken with an Armbar (14:39).
*V2 for Hyakusho Ikki.

The new bond between the Super Family is not as strong as the farmer’s bond that Hyakusho Ikki have. Lil’ Kraken missed a Frog Splash, giving FUMA the opening to submit him with an Armbar. He called Kraken & Akira Jo tough opponents after the match but he and Ryuichi Sekine are hard workers from the countryside. They spent the morning preparing for this Iron Fist Tag Team Titles by feeding chickens and cleaning out their coops before travelling to the venue. FUMA doesn’t understand why young people today think working hard is uncool but he and Sekine are going to cherish today’s successful title defence. They now have two wins with 98 to go until they reach their goal of 100 title defences.

Takeru Inoue lost to Ryota Nakatsu in his return match from injury. He shook Nakatsu’s hand afterwards and Nakatsu twisted Inoue’s healed arm as a joke. He said he only did it to show Inoue survived having his injured limb targeted. Inoue said the pain he felt in the match was something he hadn’t felt in a long time but he is happy to wrestle again. Nakatsu is still decided who the next Union MAX Title challenger should be. He said he got a few challenges from other promotions after he won the Chouten ~Itadaki~ but his time is now being taken up by his new role as BASARA’s president.

Match #2 ended in a draw when both teams all got tangled up with each other from a back and forth Double Brainbuster spot. Isami Kodaka, Shiori Asahi, Yasu Urano and Hagane Shinno all ended up rolling their shoulders onto the canvas and they were all pinned for the three count.

Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino opened up the show with an announcement for BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall on 3rd August. Aijin Tag will team up to face Isami Kodaka & El Desperado! Kamino is aware that Desperado and Nakano already know each other but does Desperado know who he is? He sent out a warning that despite his muscular look, he is still a junior heavyweight so he is going to overwhelm the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion with his muscles!

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 20: LIFE IS PEACHY”, 04/03/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Shota & Soma Takao when Takanashi pinne Shota with the Bacchus (16:16).
2. Special Single Match: Hagane Shinno defeated Ram Kaichow with a Crushed Onryo Clutch (8:36).
3. Antonio Honda & Antonio Honda XL defeated Great King Ueki & Munek when Honda pinned Munek with the Super Bionic Elbow (11:58).
4. Special Single Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Mr. Bueno with the Running Knee Lift (15:03).

A big mystery challenge awaited Mr. Bueno at Baka Gaijin & Friends and they don’t come bigger than Shuji Ishikawa! Despite the intimidating first impression, Bueno told Ishikawa to “come on, big boy” when the match began. Ishikawa overpowered him early and would barely budge for Bueno’s attacks. The chops thrown by Ishikawa were strong enough to knock him into the rows of fans sitting in the room. But Bueno would not give up because he is a Baka Gaijin. The only way he could throw Ishikawa off his game was to make him corpse by calling him cute but even that couldn’t do much. Antonio Honda couldn’t stand by and watch Ueno get beaten up so he led all of the Baka Gaijin in a train attack on Ishikawa to finally knock the big dog off his feet. Bueno was able to hit a Diving Body Press from the bar counter but it only got him a 2 Count. He also dodged the Giant Driver, hit a Flying Somato and also found the power to do a Body Slam. In a last ditch effort he applied a Sleeper Hold. Sadly for him, Ishikawa powered out of it, Headbutted him, hit the Kamigoye and then did the Giant Driver. Bueno somehow kicked out so Ishikawa had to use the Running Knee Lift to win the match.

Three matches were advertised for the show. The unexpected fourth came when Takayuki Ueki and Munetatsu Nakamura showed up looking different than they normally do. They were now Great King Ueki and his servant Munek, possessed by an evil spirit from a magical vase they found a few days ago. They were here to crash the show and go chat up some cute girls in the audience. After they found one and held her captive, Antonio Honda & Antonio Honda XL came to the rescue, demanded “Princess Peach” be freed and challenged Ueki & Munek to a match. The Super Honda Brothers hit their opponents with Gongitsune and also the Super Bionic Elbow to win. As a result the fan was rescued, Ueki & Nakamura were freed from their spell and ARENA Shimokitazawa was safe once again.

Just taking a kick at the start of the match made Ram Kaichow realized she was in for a long night. Hagane Shinno’s wrestling skills outmatched her own and she was reaching her limit just trying to fight back. She was able to Choke Slam Shinno and hit him with a Low Blow to set up the Onryo Clutch. However Shinno blocked the Clutch and countered it into a cradle to pin Kaichow for the three count.

Later this month Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi will face each other for the KO-D Openweight Title at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Today that was nothing to worry about because CDK were teaming up to face ROMANCE DAWN for the first time since their 2022 feud in Ganbare☆Pro. There were a lot of double team moves within the short space they fought in. A Neckbreaker/Dropkick combo got rid of Soma Takao but Shota kept fighting despite the numbers disadvantage. His luck ran out when Takanashi countered the Gannosuke Clutch into the Bacchus for the pinfall. The two teams gestured having another match together sometime. Takanashi then took a look at the KO-D Title and wished Brookes the best before leaving the room.

The next Baka Gaijin & Friends show will be on 15th April.

The match update for this show on the DDT website refers to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro as a master and disciple relationship. Now there’s a future I see for Aino: The trainer of future champions!

Uta Takami is probably going to have a much nicer experience being in the ring with Miu Watanabe this time around. They won’t be fighting each other and they’ll have Raku & Pom Harajuku as their opponents so the potential beating will be more emotional than physical.
