??? 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.

??? 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.

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).

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.

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

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.

And BASARA caps off a busy Saturday for me.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
3. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

The 37KAMIINA are sparing no expense for their Valentine’s Day produce show. Shin Konosuke Takeshita returns for a special trios match that will also include Koju Takeda from Triple Six. Takeda will be retiring from pro wrestling soon so this seems to be the only way he can reunite with Danshoku Dieno inside a DDT ring. Also does the existence of Shin Konosuke Takeshita mean there now also exists a Shin Kyle Fletcher?

One month into FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and Hinata Kasai is disappointed he hasn’t been able to team with the other members so far since joining. He might have to wait even longer because one of his upcoming matches is a singles bout with Shinya Aoki.

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

1. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs HARASHIMA
2. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

Looks like Kota Sekifuda is fully accepted into the Baka Gaijin & Friends space. He and HARASHIMA had some interactions during the Baka Battle Royal in December, the memorable one being HARASHIMA using Sekifuda’s snake to put him in a literal Cobra Twist.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

After having a not so glamorous debut last September, Evil Uno returns to DDT for the 29th Anniversary show hoping to get better circumstances for his match this time.

Daisuke Sasaki will be wrestling overseas during the month of April. At the moment this show is the latest DDT even happening in March so his last match in Japan for the period might be here.
