BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FIFTEEN: SEHNSUCHT IST SO GRAUSAM”, 02/07/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans
1. Hyper Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Mad Dr. Ueki ended in a Draw when Honda and Ueki both ate a Wasabi Cream Puff (11:02).
2. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno defeated Mecha Mummy with a Cold Spray Assisted Cradle (11:47).
3. Special Single Match: Tam Higashinakano (MAO) defeated Sayaka Unagi with the Violet Screwdriver (9:05).
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
For the first time ever CDK took on Astronauts and the match took place inside the cramped confines of Baka Gaijin + Friends. Surprisingly given the number of people involved in the main event it was kept mostly on the mats in the middle of the room with actual tag rules kept in play. Chris Brookes and Takuya Nomura in particular got deep into the action leading to a double submission spot when Brookes put Nomura in the Octopus Hold and Fuminori Abe did the same to Masahiro Takanashi right beside him. CDK isolated Abe with double team moves but Nomura came to the rescue. Soon Takanashi and Abe were in a Figure 4 Leg Lock together with Brookes and Nomura rolling them back and forth to try and give their partners the leverage. Both teams then briefly paused to get drinks before getting back to fighting. With minutes left to go it turned into a scramble where neither team could get the win. The twenty minute time limit ran out while Astronauts held CDK in submission holds and the match ended in a draw right when Takanashi rolled Abe over for a nearfall.
Sayaka Unagi was introduced to the world of Baka Gaijin thanks to MAO. He was meant to be her opponent but Unagi was in for a shock when some familiar music from her past played instead. Instead of fighting MAO, Unagi was now going to fight Tam Higashinakano! It was MAO dressed in a full Tam Nagano costume doing all of her poses and catchphrases. Higashinakano encouraged Unagi to give everyone a fired up, passionate match. Unagi used some of her signature moves but Higashinakano got the win in the end, having enough space in the room to hit the Violet Screwdriver. Later at the end of the show Unagi became emotional because she thought she would never see “Tam” in the ring again. She suggested that they should team together some day for another cosmic encounter.
The mystery masked gentleman Mr. Bueno returned to Baka Gaijin for another match. It was explained that Bueno is not a fan of the growing trend of AI so this month he was going to fight Mecha Mummy. Bueno dodged the robot’s attacks like a matador but hadn’t the strength to move his heavy opponent. His attacks also fed into Mummy’s programming and it learned how to wrestle from Bueno’s attacks. With Ueki helping in the corner Mummy was getting the better of Bueno until Bueno pulled out cold spray to slow it down. Mummy missed the Rocket Punch and hit Ueki by mistake. Bueno then made fun of Mummy for being old tech, causing it to open up its body cavity, pull out its heart and rip it apart in sadness. Bueno had to apologize and cheered it up by talking about how expensive Mummy is. The match continued and Mummy gave Bueno a Sunset Flip. Bueno reversed the cradle and used the cold spray again, freezing Mummy so it couldn’t kick out of the pin. After the match Bueno bumped into To-y in the crowd. Tory greeted him with a NeppoWER!! pose and Bueno responded by giving him a glove slap across the face.
The show began with Antonio Honda and Mad Dr. Ueki agreeing to make their match a Hyper Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match! If there is a nearfall then the person who got pinned must one of five cream puffs, three of which contain wasabi in them. If they eat a wasabi cream puff then they lose. Ueki got the first nearfall but the cream puff Honda ate was safe. Honda tried to go high risk by climbing a stool but tripped over it and hurt his knee. He told a Gongitsune joke but Ueki blocked his sneak attack and pulled out his pistol! He pulled the trigger but Gongitsune caught the bullet and threw it back at him! Honda and Ueki then struggled to give each other a Backslide Pin, resulting in both of them pinning each other for a double two count. They both had to eat a cream puff afterward and they both chose ones that had wasabi in them! The match ended in a draw with Honda fleeing while Ueki called for help. Mecha Mummy came out with a drink for its master to wash out his mouth with.
Baka Gaijin’s next show will be “FUCKED UP FEST VOL. 1” on 24th August.

MAO used the GLEAT/DDT show to send a message to Kaz Hayashi. He wants to defend the DDT Universal Title against Hayashi’s masked alter ego from his Michinoku Pro days. That’s right he wants to wrestle Shiryu! MAO thinks it will be fitting for Hayashi to take up the gimmick again and fight for a championship with “Universal” in the name for old time’s sake.

The build up to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” begins with The 37KAMIINA clashing against each other in tag matches as previews for the big KO-D Openweight Title match. BURNING and TEAM NOAH continue their growing feud too.
It is thanks to Takagi that both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh entered the world of pro wrestling. They get to play a part in his final bunch of matches for the time being. Danshoku Dieno isn’t being left out of this either.
BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FIFTEEN: SEHNSUCHT IST SO GRAUSAM”, 02/07/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Mad Dr. Ueki
2. Special Single Match: Mecha Mummy Vs Mr. Bueno
3. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Sayaka Unagi
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura
More Astronauts matches to pay attention to in this side of the puro bubble. They are entering the cramped little space that is ARENA Shimokitazawa for what will certainly be a crazy match against CDK.
Sayaka Unagi also joins in the Baka Gaijin + Friends circle for the first time. Perhaps the hardest working self promoter in the business today gets to fight MAO too which is a pretty high profile matchup nowadays.
The newest regular to Baka Gaijin shows is the masked man Mr. Bueno. He impressed with a victory against Antonio Honda on the last show but how will he handle the mayhem that usually follows after Mecha Mummy? Speaking of Honda he takes on Mummy’s current handler Mad Dr. Ueki.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Masato Tanaka
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Go Shiozaki & Atsushi Kotoge
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO
I’m glad to see we’re actually getting something out of DDT’s appearances on the NOAH Limit Break shows. So far on the shows both Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino have been wanting to fight and beat Go Shiozaki to no avail. Now Shiozaki is coming back over to DDT to help Atsushi Kotoge try and win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Shiozaki has also been a member in past iterations of BURNING so what does he think of the current day version?
EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW”, 24/08/2024
London, England
The four Tokyo Joshi Pro talents travelling over to England for the joint show with EVE are Miyu Yamashita, Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI. Also taking part on the show is Aja Kong! Since the show is happening in between the final rounds of the Tokyo Princess Cup that means the four names mentioned above will not be taking part in the tournament this year. It’s also been confirmed that Maki Itoh will not be in the tournament either because she will be on her next tour of America during August.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FOURTEEN: NONE OF THEM KNEW THEY WERE ROBOTS”, 21/05/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans
1. Special Single Match: The Invisible Man defeated Chris Brookes with a Frankensteiner (9:30).
2. Special Single Match: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ram Kaichow with a Title Belt Attack (8:32).
3. Special Single Match: Mecha MAO (w/ Mad Dr. Ueki) Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) ended in a No Contest (11:52).
4. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno defeated Antonio Honda with the Bueno Splash (15:58).
Slowly but surely Baka Gaijin + Friends have been growing a cast of characters you will rarely see anywhere else. The main event was the first appearance anywhere of a mariachi masked luchador named Mr. Bueno. His match against Antonio Honda had some serious background behind it. According to Mr. HAKU on commentary, Bueno’s parents were stung to death by bees so he has a hatred of hone. Honda really likes honey though which is where the conflict between them comes from. Bueno was able to hold back his anger and wrestle Honda like a gentleman. Both kept apologising to the fans they bumped into while fighting in the small venue. Bueno was able to beat Honda by climbing the bar counter and hitting the Bueno Splash. It took him two tries to do it because he hit his head off the ceiling the first time around.
The robots have taken over and more are coming! Two made scientists sent their greatest creations to battle when Mecha MAO fought Takagi Sanshirobo. It was an evenly fought match not just between the robots but between Mad Dr. Ueki and Mad Dr. Hige too. Things became even more dangerous when the match was interrupted by the emergence of a third robotic fighter known only as K-5000. Made out of liquid metal, K-5000 was resistant to all attacks that Mecha MAO and Sanshirobo could throw at it. Nothing could stop K-5000’s rampage so the other robots sacrificed themselves for one final chance at saving the world. Sanshirobo grabbed hold of K-5000 while MAO self destructed next to them. When the dust settled everyone was down and out… except for K-5000! The match was called off and there was no winner.
Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ram Kaichow in what was a pretty straightforward match until the finish. There was a lot of matwork until Kaichow gave Takanashi a Choke Slam. She then tried to give him the Rainmaker but Takanashi pulled the ref into her way to block it. He then grabbed one of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts from Chris Brookes and hit Kaichow over the head with it. The ref recovered after all of this and counted the pin none the wiser. After the match CDK tried to attack Kaichow again but she fought them off by giving Brookes a Tilt-O-Whirl DDT and then giving Takanashi the Rainmaker.
Brookes caused some trouble elsewhere earlier in the show. He fought The Invisible Man in the opening bout, losing to his unseen opponent thanks to a flash Frankensteiner out of nowhere. After the match Brookes showed respect to The Invisible Man by asking him to join his team for a big multi-person match taking place in Gatoh Move on 30th May. The match is going to be Baka Gaijin + Friends against New Beijing Pro Wrestling. Suddenly Sayaka walked over to them and complained about being left off the Baka Gaijin team despite always working on the shows behind the scenes. Brookes saw her point and announced she has been added to the team instead of The Invisible Man!
The next show will take place on 2nd July. After that Baka Gaijin and MAO will be holding an event called “FUCKED UP FEST VOL. 1” on 24th August that will feature music as well as wrestling matches.

GANBARE☆PRO “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 2024”, 18/05/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Shota Kawakami Debut Match: Ken Ohka Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Kitsune World Title: Sayaka Unagi (c) Vs YuuRI
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga & CWP X
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kouki Iwasaki
The new Spirit Of Ganbare Champion wasted no time in picking his first challenger. Keisuke Ishii thinks Kouki Iwasaki is a suitable opponent to defend the title against first. The two are good friends and are certain to bring the best out of each other for the championship.
Shuichiro Katsumura is down one championship but still holds the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Takuya Wada. Now that might be under threat with Shinichiro Tominaga demanding a title shot. The only problem is when Tominaga went looking for a tag partner he found nobody in Ganbare☆Pro wanting to team with him. He is now searching deep into the student pro wrestling scene and promised to find somebody in CWP who will agree to join him in the fight against GROUND ABSOLUTE.
A championship from America is going to be defended in GanPro for the first time because YuuRI wants to break into the international scene. She thinks the quickest way to do that is to win the Kitsune World Title from Sayaka Unagi. The Kitsune promotion is still young but Unagi has brought their title belt everywhere with her ever since she won it, making sure plenty of people see it. She doesn’t think YuuRI will be as dedicated as she is should she win the title off her.
Please welcome GanPro’s first rookie under their new management system, Shota Kawakami! He was born in Ichikawa, Chiba on 21st July, 2001. He is 177cm tall and weighs 80kg. His sports background is in baseball up until middle school and then tennis in high school.

4. Special Single Match: Mecha MAO (w/ Mad Dr. Ueki) Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige)
Turning MAO into a dinosaur isn’t enough to defeat Takagi Sanshirobo so he has to take one step deeper into the madness. With the help of Mad Dr. Ueki it is time for Mecha MAO to return! But Sanshirobo has its own mad doctor by its side. The sinister science on display could end up destroying the entire building if they are not careful!
The rest of the card looks just as wacky. Chris Brookes will fight The Invisible Man in the ultimate test of public performance. Masahiro Takanashi faces Ram Kaichow one on one in what looks like the only normal match of the show. Who is Mr. BUENO? We are going to find out at the same time when Antonio Honda does.
