BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 25: GHOST IN THE MACHINE”, 28/10/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

*V8 for Mr. Malo.

Some of the tricks and treats you get for Halloween don’t always turn the way you want them to. Baka Gaijin + Friends brought in a former champion to challenge Mr. Malo for the BK-G Openweight Title. That former champion is Kazuki Hirata and any high hopes for him to dethrone the champion immediately fell apart. Malo easily distracted him, gave him a Low Blow and rolled him up with a School Boy to win in seconds. MAO then confronted Hirata after the match and complained to him in a manner like Hisaya Imabayashi, causing the match to be restarted. Malo distracted Hirata again, gave him another Low Blow and pinned him with another School Boy. Takayuki Ueki (who worked the show as the ring announcer and was dressed as Reze from Chainsaw Man) then did the complaining and the match restarted again. Same thing still happened. Mr. HAKU couldn’t help but shout from the camera spot and complain to Hirata for losing like this. Another restart happened but the same thing happened once more. Now Chie Koishikawa joined in the complaining and got another restart. Malo didn’t even need to distract Hirata this time, he just did a Low Blow and pinned him. Chris Brookes stormed out to yell at Hirata in both English and Japanese before granting one more restart. The same thing still happened but this time Brookes broke the pin and everyone ganged up on Malo. Hirata blew his spot though and Malo went back on the attack, going as far as to destroy the Hirata GO glasses. Suddenly Mr. Bueno appeared to cheer on Hirata and motivate him into making a comeback. He then pulled out an extra pair of Hirata GO glasses and placed them on Hirata to make him power up with his dance. His second wind was cut off when Malo handed him a small jack-o’-lantern filled with firecrackers, filling the room with sparks and small explosions coming from Hirata’s hands. Malo then rolled him up with a School Boy once more to win yet again.

More surprises were in store when an unadvertised Halloween Rumble took place after intermission. Munetatsu Nakamura set the stage for how weird it was going to get by entering the match dressed as a Labubu. Entrant #2 turned out to be Thai wrestler Jonathan Johnson acting like The Joker. MAO was the next entrant dressed as a large square wall. He gleefully stood in the way of the fans to block their view while being impervious to his opponents’ attacks. Kota Ibushikoshi entered dressed as a schoolgirl but MAO escaped from his own costume to pin him with a Running Knee Strike for the first elimination. Next entrant was Chie Koishikawa in a shark costume running around biting everyone. Sayaka dressed as Haku from Spirited Away calmed her down by offering her a rice ball. Koishikawa ate it and felt full enough to take a nap. Everyone else pushed MAO on top of her and then piled on for the pin. Things took a turn when Ram Kaichow ran into the room dressed as Chucky and stabbed Sayaka with a machete! That was enough for a three count and Sayaka was out. The final entrant then appeared. It was Antonio Honda as Pero Pero Oyakata, his tribute gimmick to Hulk Hogan. He ripped off his vest but felt so cold in the room that he wanted to quit. But first he wanted to tell a Gongitsune story and then poked everyone in their eyes. MAO tipped over and fell so he was easily pinned. Oyakata then used the Pero Pero Driver (set up like the Pedigree but he swivels his hips to snap his opponent’s neck) to eliminate Johnson and Nakamura. The match slowed down when he tried to use the move on Kaichow. She escaped and with an upward swing, struck Oyakata between the legs with her machete. That put him down for the count and Kaichow won the Rumble.

Mr. Bueno decided to wrestle his match wearing an inflated sumo wrestler costume for his match against Kota Sekifuda. He also decided his sumo name is Takatoriki Jr. (Takatoriki being Yukio Naya’s father). The two briefly fought their way out of the room. Bueno returned first and expected to win by countout but Sekifuda returned wearing his own inflated sumo costume! They wrestled sumo style until Bueno tried to climb onto the bar counter for a high flying attack. Except when he was ready to do it, Sekifuda pulled out a living snake from his costume! He used the snake to scare Bueno back down to the floor so he could wrap the snake around his neck. Bueno escaped and physically forced Sekifuda to hand the snake away to Daisuke Kiso. Sekifuda climbed onto some stools to do his own dive but Bueno acted like he had a snake of his own hidden in his costume. Sekifuda didn’t fall for it but Bueno still blocked his dive and used an Inside Cradle to get the win.

In the opening match Brookes was dressed like one of the Baseball Furies from The Warriors. His opponent K4PY was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, a decision that led to a few wardrobe malfunctions as the match progressed. Brookes found a fan dressed like one of The Brahman Brothers and got them to do the rubber band spot from across the room. Brookes ended up winning by giving K4PY the Praying Mantis Bomb, almost damaging something from the ceiling in the process.

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

The 3 Way match between Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida will have an extra rule banning the wrestlers from doing their trademark catchphrases and poses.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 24: EVERYTHING ENDS” Results

September 16, 2025

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 24: EVERYTHING ENDS”, 16/09/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. “Chris Brookes” (Munetatsu Nakamura), “Antonio Honda” (Takayuki Ueki) & Charli Evans defeated “Dark King Ueki” (Antonio Honda), “Munek” (Chris Brookes) & Princess Ram when “Honda” (Ueki) pinned “Ueki” (Honda) with a School Boy (?:??).
2. No DQ Match: Mr. Malo & Seigo Tachibana defeated Mr. Bueno & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan when Tachibana pinned Kuroshio with a Rolling Cradle (?:??).
3. Special Single Match: Yuya MAOki (MAO) defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Kesagiri Chop (?:??).

It seems wherever Kota Sekifuda goes he just cannot escape Big Japan. He became a freelancer over the summer after spending pretty much his entire wrestling career with the company so he was expecting a brand new experience when he was booked to take on MAO. Instead MAO walked out dressed like Yuya Aoki and wrestled like him too. He was even introduced as Yuya MAOki and the fans kept chanting “MAOki” during the match. Sekifuda brought along a great equalizer though. He had a sack handed to him with a snake inside it but when he emptied it, the snake was missing! Sekifuda then purposely brawled with MAO around the room so he could look for the snake but couldn’t find him anywhere. He later pushed MAOki out of the room with slaps to the chest but MAOki puffed his chest out to block them and returned to the room with other wrestlers behind him, including Takayuki Ueki unaware that he has Sekifuda’s snake wrapped around his neck! Sekifuda safely took the snake off him and used it the petrify the other wrestlers before handing it off to the ref. However MAOki and the other wrestlers all psyched themselves up around Sekifuda and MAOki hit him with the Kesagiri Chop to win the match.

We’re in the middle of a journey that I think is leading to a BK-G Openweight Title match between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. Today’s path was a tag match with both wrestlers having mystery partners. They turned out to be the Up Town pair of Seigo Tachibana and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan! Tachibana teamed with Malo while Kuroshio teamed with Bueno. You’d think a small room and no wrestling ring would mean Kuroshio’s entrance would be kept brief for once but he found a way to extend it by connecting two traffic cones together with tape to look like ring ropes so he could do his usual ring entry teases. After playing to the crowd for an eternity, Kuroshio then demanded the match be No DQ Rules. He took advantage by kicking Malo between the legs but when he encouraged Bueno to do the same to Tachibana, he missed and got Kuroshio instead. Later Kuroshio came up with a foul idea where he placed a traffic cone over a prone Tachibana’s face and then attempted to pull the back of his tights down to use the cone as a toilet. Bueno tried to stop him but couldn’t so Malo smashed a beer bottle over Kuroshio’s head instead. Tachibana then rolled him up for the three count.

Plans changed for the opening match when Everett Connors was unable to wrestle due to injury. So instead of having a three team free for all, the match became a 6-Man Tag instead. But the change of plans didn’t stop there. While Charli Evans and Princess Ram showed up looking like they normally do, the other four seemed to have all swapped bodies! Dark King Ueki now looked like Antonio Honda, Munek looked like Chris Brookes, Brookes looked like Munetatsu Nakamura and Honda looked like Takayuki Ueki! “Munek” used a coat hanger to cast spells on his opponents while also helping Ram to Body Slam a random fan onto “Honda”. “Munek” had a wardrobe malfunction when his trousers split after Evans gave him a Fisherman Suplex. The match broke down into everyone attacking each other with a metal tray until “Brookes” used the magic coat hanger to make “Ueki” hit himself over the head so “Honda” could pin him with a School Boy. There was a damsel in distress that the Kingdom kidnapped and held captive behind the bar before the match began. She was now saved by SCHADENFREUDE International!

The next two Baka Gaijin + Friends events were announced at the end of the show. There will be a Halloween themed show taking place on 28th October. Then after that Baka Gaijin will celebrate their 3rd Anniversary with a show at Shinjuku FACE on 2nd December!

The Aftermath Of Wrestle Peter Pan, Kong Vs HIMAWARI, Baka Gaijin Gets New Friends

DDT “DDT ASAKUSA-KAI PRESENTS EDO NO NAKAMISE FIGHTING”, 02/09/2025

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Satoshi Kojima, Antonio Honda & Yuya Koroku

The first Right To Challenge Arm Cover has been used and bloody hell has it changed directions for DDT going into Sumo Hall later this year. Kazuki Hirata is now the KO-D Openweight Champion but there are still three Arm Covers remaining. They currently belong to Soma Takao (Red), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuya Koroku (Green).

The card has been changed around a bit due to Daisuke Sasaki being injured. He is out of action for a while with a fractured rib.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA”, 07/09/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall

4. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Ilusion

Ilusion has taken up belt collecting as a hobby. You usually see him carrying all three KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles that currently belong to DAMNATION T.A. Next he wants to add the DDT Extreme Title to his collection so To-y better give it to him!

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025”, 15/09/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Tyson Maeguchi

4. Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Ken Ohka Vs Shuichiro Katsumura

The top championship in Ganbare☆Pro now belongs to Masaaki Mochizuki and his priorities are currently with Dragongate. He wants Shuichiro Katsumura to be his first challenger but Ken Ohka is pleading to get the title match instead. The answer to this is to have a No. 1 Contender’s match while Mochizuki is back in his home promotion.

GanPro also continues their rivalries with FREEDOMS and BASARA. The FREEDOMS match is getting more tense while things seem to be under control with BASARA.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 24: EVERYTHING ENDS”, 16/09/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. 3 Way Tag Team Handicap Match: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Charli Evans & Everett Connors Vs Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs MAO

It seems that Kota Sekifuda made a good first impression at “FUCKED UP FEST 2025” so he is getting another big match at Baka Gaijin + Friends. This time he is going to experience fighting MAO in his element!

Two new friends join the fray and they might be familiar to fans from certain parts of the world. Charli Evans is from Australia but usually calls the UK wrestling scene her home. She and Chris Brookes had many matches against each other before the pandemic. Her husband Everett Connors made a few GCW appearances coming out of the pandemic before moving his career to Australia with Evans.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
2. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Jada Stone
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) V Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

This is a big task for HIMAWARI. She has to go fight Aja Kong all by herself!

The full card will be revealed tomorrow.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPO 2025”, 23/09/2025
Osaka Namba SkyO Convention Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku

Koroku might need to hold onto his RTC Arm Cover for as long as he can because that’s the only reason why he and To-y are getting a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot. Yuki Iino has good memories of using the Right To Challenge prize and he wants to take the one Koroku currently has. He says he will cancel the match if Koroku loses it before then but I don’t know if he or Yukio Naya have the power to do that. The Apex are confident thet can keep the tag titles either way.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2025 ~3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 28/09/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

There seems to be no one out there brave enough to take the DDT Universal Title from Minoru Suzuki. Well, Takeshi Masada thinks he can do it and only got the match because he dared to accuse Suzuki of running away from a challenge. For that Suzuki is now threatening to kill Masada in the ring!

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

We’re not done yet with Chris Brookes’s reunion with Zack Sabre Jr. They realized it has been years since they last had a singles match against each other and it hasn’t been done in Japan yet. So why not do one at Sumo Hall for DDT’s biggest show of the year? Sabre is still the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion too. But for how long…

It will be around a year and four months that have gone by when Sanshiro Takagi finally returns to wrestle again. He only admitted recently that one of the reasons he was out of action for so long was because he was diagnosed with angina and wasn’t allowed to even do a proper workout by his doctor until he recovered. He also sees something special with Hinata Kasai and specifically chose him to be his opponent at Sumo Hall. Kasai understands how important the match is especially because it will be the opener. But he isn’t sweating over the result. In his eyes Takagi doesn’t have a lot in the tank in his current state so Kasai thinks he has a really good chance of winning his first match in Sumo Hall!

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.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2025”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Tatsuhiko Yoshino
2. Special Single Match: MAO Vs K4PY
3. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Gabai Ji-chan
4. Special Tag Team Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Mr. Malo & Mr. Bueno
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Kota Sekifuda

We have two special Baka Gaijin + Friends shows coming up in August. The first is the brand’s debut in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR for the second ever “FUCKED UP FEST”. It will be a festival of wrestling and music that when mashed together results in the name of the show. Kota Sekifuda, Gabai Ji-chan and Tatsuhiko Yoshino are among the guest wrestlers taking part.

Sekifuda tweeted that when he made the decision to go leave Big Japan and go freelance, Chris Brookes was the first person who offered him a booking.

K4PY previously wrestled under the name Takahiro Katori. I think it’s just a fairly recent name change like within the last month or so.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Hideki Okatani Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. Shota Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida Vs Ryutaro Ono & Masanorikanu Watanabe
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Grand Passion Mask No. 4
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima

The D GENERATIONS lot don’t have to worry as much about the Young Communication on their next show because it is being held in Nagoya. That means several Nagoya based wrestlers will be facing them instead. Only Shota from the Young Communication generation will be there for a match against Yuya Koroku.

This caught my eye. Ryutaro Ono is a 35 year old CEO of five different companies (among them being related to agriculture, a café and welfare for the elderly and disabled) who only just debuted in pro wrestling for Sportiva Entertainment in May of this year. His tag partner for the match is MMA fighter Masanorikanu Watanabe.

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO – DREAM EAST VS WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2025”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Rukiya Return Match: Rukiya Vs X
2. East Vs West Vs Unknown All-Out Competition ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Iino (Tokyo) & Yukio Naya (Tokyo) Vs Chris Brookes (UK) & Takeshi Masada (Osaka) Vs Ilusion (Unknown) & MJ Paul (Unknown)
3. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Tokyo), To-y (Saitama) & Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo) Vs Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima), Shigehiro Irie (Osaka) & Mikiya Sasaki (Osaka)
4. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi (Hokkaido), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), HARASHIMA (Tokyo) & Antonio Honda (Tokyo) Vs Yuki Ueno (Osaka), Hideki Okatani (Kochi), KANON (Ishikawa) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)
5. Eastern Army Offer Match: MAO (Miyagi) (w/ KIMIHIRO (Tokyo)) Vs Super Sasadango Machine (Niigata)
6. Western Army Offer Match: Jun Akiyama (Osaka) Vs Miyu Yamashita (Fukuoka)

Two matches on the East Vs West show will focus on just one side of the country. The East side of Japan offers MAO against Super Sasadango Machine. Not bad. But the West side has come up with the utterly cracked pairing of Jun Akiyama Vs Miyu Yamashita! This is before Akiyama’s KO-D Openweight Title match too so if Yamashita somehow pulls out a victory, or maybe even a draw she may end up having an argument for getting a future KO-D Title shot herself!

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

A new face has signed an exclusive contract with Super Japan. But his alter ego should be familiar to a lot of people following this space. Mac Matsushita made debuted as a pro wrestler in Mexico but had a run in DDT and the indies as Maku Donaruto. You remember him, the super perverted Ronald McDonald gimmick? Yeah that’s the guy. Well, Sanshiro Takagi has been trying to get him to ditch the mask to wrestle as himself and he has succeeded in convincing him. Matsushita’s return match in Japan will be on the 19th August Super Japan show.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 22/08/2025
The Social House, Makati, Philippines

1. International Dream Match: Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia Vs Chris Bookes & Takeshi Masada

The second Baka Gaijin show of August will be their first time taking the show outside of Japan. Baka Gaijin is heading over to the Philippines as part of a weekend of wrestling put together by Dexcon. The first match announced sees Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada taking on the local pair of Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia.

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~” Results

September 24, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~”, 24/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans

1. Kota Sekifuda defeated KUBITO with a Crossface Lock Reversal (11:46).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Banana Senga & Yuki Kanzaki when Oosugi pinned Senga with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:10).
3. Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken when Imanari pinned Kraken with the Lariat (15:06).
4. Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita when Ishijima pinned SAGAT with the Ghostbuster (13:48).
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Kamino pinned Sekine with the Lariat (15:33).
*V1 for Aijin Tag.

The main event was held under No Tag Rules. Aijin Tag defeated Sento Minzoku to retain the UWA World Tag Team Titles. The win tasted sweet for Masato Kamino because he pinned Ryuichi Sekine for the victory. Takato Nakani also spoke highly of Sekine and Isami Kodaka joked about how everything today is about Sekine. Aijin Tag would like to continue defending the UWA Tag Titles against more wrestlers from different promotions. Nakano wants to wreck havoc across the indies but Kamino would rather go do it in New Japan.

Masahiro Takanashi suddenly made his entrance at the end of the show while the others were still in the ring. He introduced himself as the 13th Union MAX Champion and was here to settle something that happened in BASARA four years ago. Minoru Fujita knew what he was talking about. He challenged Takanashi for the MAX Title in February 2020 and lost to him. But it was from that point on when everything clicked for Fujita. Since then he has won several championships, was crowned as the MVP of the Japanese indies, fell so gravely ill that he almost died, made a miraculous recovery and came back to wrestling to win more championships. There is one achievement left for him and that is to avenge his loss against Takanashi! Fujita and Takanashi will fight for the MAX Title on 11th October.

The BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro match got heated. First Yumehito Imanari attacked Ryota Nakatsu before the bell. Nakatsu responded by chasing after him with his baseball bat. Nakatsu also got intense with Mizuki Watase whenever they were facing off. The finish was Imanari pinning Lil’ Kraken with a Lariat but after the end Kraken got back up and attacked Imanari until they were kept apart.

Kota Sekifuda was a last minute replacement for Takeru Inoue in the opening match. Inoue had a fever and was unable to wrestle.

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL!” Results

September 11, 2024

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL! ~THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT~”, 11/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine defeated FUMA & Takeru Inoue when Sekine submitted Inoue with the Let’s Combine (12:13).
2. Fuminori Abe defeated Judomaster with a Wakigatame (6:45).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken and Gouma Ryu & Yasu Urano when Senga pinned Ryu with a School Boy (12:11).
4. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato (c) when Nakano pinned Sekifuda with the Takagari (13:39).
*Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato fails in V5. Aijin Tag becomes the 37th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
5. Hardcore Match: Yusaku Ito defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with a Stacked Chair Shots (15:56).
6. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Naoki Tanizaki ended in a Double Knockout (13:40).

The former Sparky wrestlers fought each other to a double knockout. In the final moments of the match Naoki Tanizaki did the Implant for a nearfall and Ryota Nakatsu came back with a Thrust Kick followed by a Northern Lights Bomb. Both men were down and out by that point with neither being able to answer the 10 count. They were able to have the energy to talk afterwards. Nakatsu’s been wrestling for ten years now and his time in Sparky made up a lot of that time. Whether it was in BASARA or Dove Pro, Tanizaki has been a huge part of his wrestling career. Tanizaki said he always considered Nakatsu as a rival. He also promoted a Dove Pro show happening on 12th October that Nakatsu is also booked for. They will settle their match on another day but tonight they’re going to have a good drink together!

The show also celebrated Takumi Tsukamoto’s 15th anniversary in wrestling. He had a Hardcore Match against Yusaku Ito that featured steel cans and chairs as the main weapons. They kept doing moves to each other onto a pile of chairs but neither could win the match that way. So Ito decided to stack up on chairs and swing them at Tsukamoto for a powerful chairshot that finally put him down for the three count. Tsukamoto later said he lost to a thug and wants to have a rematch with that thug for his 20th anniversary. He also had kinder words to say about Ito, like calling him his little brother.

The UWA World Tag Team Titles have come to BASARA and now belong to Aijin Tag! A Frog Splash from Kota Sekifuda proved to be a big mistake when Takato Nakano blocked it with his knees. Nakano & Masato Kamino then upped the double team moves on him so Nakano could pin Sekifuda with the Takagari. The title change comes right before Kaji Tomato runs his own self produced show later this month. That has to sting at least a little bit. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine announced after the show they want to challenge Aijin Tag for the belts on 24th September.
