1. Acoustic Guitar Death Match: Antonio Honda defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Backslide Pin (11:50).
2. Ram Kaichow & Chie Fukukaichow defeated Great King Ueki & Munek when Fukukaichow pinned Munek with a School Boy (7:14).
3. Special Single Match ~Goodbye Keigo~: MAO defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Iai Kick (14:04).
4. BK-G Openweight Title – Triple Threat Match: Mr. Malo defeated Chris Brookes (c) and Mr. Bueno when Malo pinned Bueno with a Cradle (17:50).
*Chris Brookes fails in V2. Mr. Malo becomes the 2nd BK-G Openweight Champion!
There are always alliances to be made and broken in a Triple Threat Match. Add in multiple language barriers and the whole thing becomes a lot more difficult. Chris Brookes tried to set up double team moves with Mr. Malo but they couldn’t figure out what to do. So Mr. Bueno tried to join Brookes’s side only for more confusion to break out, leading to Brookes suffering multiple attacks to his groin. Malo took advantage of the situation by blinding Yukinori Matsui with his poncho so he could give Brookes another Low Blow. Daisuke Kiso then came out as Matsui’s replacement only for Malo to throw him at the other wrestlers. Matsui returned as the match broke down into a free for all. Malo blinded him again and smashed a glass bottle over Brookes’s head for a nearfall. Bueno hit Brookes with the Rolling Glove, then climbed the bar counter to do a Flying Body Press. But when he landed the move on Brookes, Malo suddenly cradled Bueno for the three count to win the match and become the new BK-G Openweight Champion!
After the match Malo in a deep voice called himself today’s star of the show. There is a word in Mexico he can compare Baka Gaijin to and that word is Tonto. The wrestlers are tonto, the audience are tonto and everything in this space is tonto. Viva tonto! He walked off with the title belt, leaving everyone else in Baka Gaijin feeling a little sad to end the show.
Things are going to be different for a few DDT wrestlers now that Keigo Nakamura is going away on an excursion. MAO asked while they were wrestling who will now come pick him up whenever he misses the last train? He then reminisced over memories of his own excursions while he was beating Nakamura up. MAO ultimately wished him luck and said goodbye before he pinned Nakamura with the Iai Kick. Nakamura thanked MAO and told the fans he is going to challenge himself overseas.
Things still aren’t right with Takayuki Ueki and Munetatsu Nakamura. They showed up still possessed by evil spirits and were introduced again as Great King Ueki and Munek. There were changes afoot for Chie Koishikawa as well because she showed up with Ram Kaichow wearing the same makeup. So if Ram is the president that means Chie is her vice president. That’s right, she became Chie Fukukaichow! The two of them stopped Ueki & Munek from kidnapping a fan, foiling their plot to get free drinks poured for them at the bar. The villains tried using magic on their opponents by summoning an invisible wall but it backfired when Ueki ran into it. Chie then pushed Munek into the wall and pinned him with a School Boy to win. But just when it seemed like the day was saved, Ueki used his magical vase to capture Ram’s soul and turn her body into a rambling slave. Before the three left, Ueki threatened that he, Munek and Ram will take Baka Gaijin + Friends to the depths of hell!
Before the first match began, Antonio Honda revealed to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi that it will be an Acoustic Guitar Death Match. Honda had a guitar with him and said it is allowed to be used as a weapon. However he told Hiroshi that they had to build the match up to using the guitar because even in Big Japan you don’t just immediately hit your opponent with a lighttube. So they wrestled the match as normal until Honda got to the Gongitsune spot. Hiroshi noticed that Honda sounded sadder than usual so he asked if anything happened to him lately? Honda broke down and said his heart was recently broken. He wished he didn’t have a heart because then it wouldn’t hurt so much. Hiroshi passionatly told Honda that having hearts makes humans do what they want and change the world. The speech turned into a song where Honda played the guitar and Hiroshi sang along to it. Then when the song ended Honda hit Hiroshi in the stomach with the guitar and rolled him up in a Backslide Pin for a three count.

This will be TJPW’s last proper show before Las Vegas but they do have a fan club show happening in the middle between them. The main event can be treated as the go-home match because it is a team of champions taking on their next challengers in a 6-Woman Tag Match. So it’s the last chance for Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita to size each other up while Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats can get deal a big warning strike to each other.

4. BK-G Openweight Title Decision Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ram Kaichow with the Praying Mantis Bomb (12:51).
*Chris Brookes becomes the 1st BK-G Openweight Champion!
Back in December Chris Brookes made a promise. If he was to successfully defend the KO-D Openweight Title at DDT’s end of the year Sumo Hall show then he will start defending the belt inside ARENA Shimokitazawa. He won that match and wanted to live up to his word at today’s first Baka Gaijin + Friends show of the year. He wanted to do it, Ram Kaichow wanted to have the title match and Daisuke Kiso was ready to let it happen. However a drunk Yukinori Matsui stepped in and stopped it from taking place. He expected something like this was going to happen and he could not let a championship as important as the KO-D Title be defended here. But since Brookes and Kaichow wanted to have a title match so badly, Matsui and Mic Inoue brought along something for them to fight over. It is a homemade title belt called the BK-G Openweight Championship!
Now that a championship match was taking place after all, Matsui and Inoue instantly sobered up to officiate and announce a match that would determine the first ever BK-G Champion. Kaichow blocked the Praying Mantis Bomb and got a nearfall with a Choke Slam. Masahiro Takanashi tried to interfere but it backfired, causing him and Brookes to argue with each other. Kaichow threw Ectoplasm at them but they ducked and Matsui got blinded instead. Kaichow fought off CDK with more Ectoplasm and hit Brookes with the Rainmaker. However Matsui was too blind to see Kaichow pinning Brookes with the Onryo Clutch. Kaichow slapped the sight back into him but left herself vulnerable to a High Kick from Brookes. She kicked out of the Somato but Brookes finally put her away with the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the new title!
How do you do a match to celebrate Antonio Honda’s 20th Anniversary without having Honda there to take part? You send MAO out there dressed in Honda’s gear and have him wrestle as Antonio Honda XL! MAO used many of Honda’s tricks against Hagane Shinno from calling time outs to injuring his knee and telling Gongitsune jokes. When all of that stuff was out of the way, the two traded cradles and nearfalls until the time limit expired. MAO and Shinno raised each other’s hands after the match and left the room together shoulder to shoulder.
Takayuki Ueki was given a surprise opponent in the form of Hideki Suzuki! Ueki requested the match be Best 3 Out Of 5 Falls but immediately lost the first to falls to a Sleeper Hold. Knowing that he can’t beat him in a wrestling match, Ueki then challenged Suzuki to a Push Sumo fight for the 3rd fall. Suzuki easily beat him again. However he didn’t want to let Ueki leave like this so he agreed to fight him for the remaining two falls and if Ueki won the remaining falls he would be declared the winner outright. They decided the 4th Fall would be a game of Jenga but Ueki even lost at that. Fed up with losing, Ueki declared the 5th fall would be a proper wrestling match worth 100 points! Then as soon as the bell rang Ueki pulled out his gun and threatened Suzuki with it. Suzuki went along with Ueki’s demands until he got close enough to disarm him. But Ueki pulled out another gun and we suddenly got a standoff! Ueki shot Suzuki’s gun out of his hand and got cocky, allowing Suzuki to get his gun back and suddenly hold Ueki at gunpoint! Ueki lost his nerve and gave up. When he tried to give a speech after the match, Suzuki shot him in his limbs and walked off.
The opening match saw the return of ChieDK. Takanashi was teaming with Chie Koishikawa which meant Koishikawa got to be Chie Brookes again! Mr. Malo brought a glass bottle to the fight late in the match but Munetatsu Nakamura stopped him from using it as a weapon. Takanashi grabbed the bottle off him but Chie too didn’t want him to swing it at the opponents. Malo and Chie fought over the bottle and Malo ended up physically forcing Chie to smash it over Takanashi’s head. He then rolled up Chie with a School Boy to get the three count.
At the end of the show everyone sang Happy Birthday to Takanashi, MAO and Kiso because they all have birthdays coming soon. Ueki then told them his birthday had already happened (3rd January) so Brookes let him close out the show.
The next Baka Gaijin show will be on 4th March.

Four teams remain and after next weekend they will be down to two. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara are bonding together with a “Ayase Town Hills New Hills” style and had a much easier time in the 2nd Round than they did in the 1st. The difficulty level for them has ramped way back up because their next opponents are Pompaler. The tactic of Max The Impaler throwing Pom Harajuku at the nearest opponent hasn’t been beat yet in the tournament so far. Kyoraku Kyomei are one step away from reaching the final for a second time. However Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao know full well not to let their guards down now, especially after HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki scored a little bit of an upset to reach this far.
It didn’t take long for the newcomer Mifu Ashida to be thrown into the ring with Mizuki. The champ needs some fresh meat.

6. DDT Universal Title: Gringo Loco (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa
Chris Brookes has figured out he cannot become stronger than Shuji Ishikawa, but he can become more handsome than his challenger. He has been taking care of his face by wearing face masks every day until the show takes place. He also promised to win the match so Ishikawa will not sing karaoke in Korakuen Hall again.
Only a one count will be needed to win the DDT Extreme Title match. Danshoku Dieno came up with the idea because he wants to see Gorgeous Matsuno fight with all of his might. The most important thing in life is the next second in front of you. A person’s experience does not matter if they don’t make the most of that second.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 18: 2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 10/12/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Special 3 Way Match: Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Takayuki Ueki and Chie Koishikawa when Nakamura pinned Ueki after a Chop from Koishikawa (7:55).
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Ram Kaichow when Kaichow gave up (8:50).
3. Special Tag Match: Mr. Bueno & Yuki Inoueno (MAO) defeated Mr. Malo & Masahiro Takanashi when Bueno pinned Malo with the Gorgeous Estrella Elbow (13:33).
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Antonio Honda with the Praying Mantis Bomb (22:03).
The last Baka Gaijin + Friends show of the year ended with a bang. Long time friends Chris Brookes and Antonio Honda fought each other in the main event. For Brookes it was the obvious placement with him as the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion while Honda got to cap off an eventful 12 months of dramatic and unusual fights inside ARENA Shimokitazawa. Honda summoned Gongitsune but Brookes deflected the attack into Daisuke Kiso. Brookes then tried to finish Honda off with the Praying Mantis Bomb while Masahiro Takanashi pleaded with him for taking the match too far. Honda attacked both with Gongitsune, hit a Bionic Elbow and almost pinned Brookes with a Leg Clutch Hold. Brookes then reversed the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and the two tried to put each other in the Octopus Hold. Honda couldn’t last though and Brookes was able to finish him off with the Praying Mantis Bomb.
After the match Brookes thanked Honda for the match because it was both the 2nd Anniversary main event for Baka Gaijin as well as the 17th Anniversary of Brookes’s debut. Honda always said 2024 was his year of revival but that makes it sound like he is near the end. Brookes told him everyone wants to see the revival go on for next year and beyond! Honda said this year was so amazing it was as if the gods of wrestling made it worthwhile. 2024 was not the year of his revival, it was his rebirth! Next year he will be coming after Brookes and aiming right for his neck! The show ended with a group get together along with unexpected party streamers popping off over everyone’s heads. That’s the bang I was talking about.
Mr. Bueno was supposed to team up with MAO but he got someone kind of familiar in his place. MAO walked out dressed in Yuki Ueno’s full outfit and was announced to everyone as Yuki Inoueno! That only served as a distraction for Bueno meeting Mr. Malo again for the first time since Malo smashed a bottle over his head at the last Baka Gaijin show. He wanted to get payback the right way though by fighting clean and fair. When he had a chance to break a bottle over Malo’s head, he refused to do it. Inoueno though had no such problem. He grabbed Bueno’s hand and physically made him hit Malo with the bottle. Bueno at least did the gentlemanly thing and helped carry Malo out of the room after the match.
There was a surprise in store for HARASHIMA in Match #2. Ram Kaichow told him she has been a big fan of HERO! ever since she was a child. So much so she pulled out a HERO! mask and asked HARASHIMA to wear it for the match. HARASHIMA agreed and immediately got into character while Kaichow marked out for him. She then slapped HARASHIMA and told him it was only a trap because she isn’t a kid anymore. She wore the mask herself for the rest of the match. HARASHIMA noticed her attacks were now becoming superpowered so he couldn’t hold back against her. After surviving an Ectoplasm attack he gave Kaichow a Buzzsaw Kick and stepped back some distance to set up the Somato. Kaichow knew it was coming and immediately gave up out of fear. She threw the mask at HARASHIMA, yelled at him and stormed out of the room. HARASHIMA was the winner but for once he didn’t feel good about it.
The show began with an unusual sight on a Baka Gaijin show. Takayuki Ueki used to appear at these events as a mad doctor until he wiped out his memory at the September show. Today he was in his regular wrestling gear and behaved like a fresh faced rookie. However when Munetatsu Nakamura and Chie Koishikawa started double teaming him, he pulled out his pistol at them. He held them at gunpoint and ordered Koishikawa to strike Nakamura so he would fall backwards and get pinned with a School Boy from Ueki. The plan backfired as Nakamura fell right on top of Ueki and Koishikawa pressed both of them down for the three count. However Kiso ruled that Nakamura was the winner because he was directly on top of Ueki during the pin.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II”, 29/10/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. 4 Way Match: MAO defeated Sayaka, Keiko Nakamura and Hondako Antonio when MAO pinned Nakamura with a Rainmaker (?:??).
2. HARASHIMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Somato (?:??).
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa defeated Ms. Kaichow, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo when Brookes & Takanashi pinned Bueno with the HOD (?:??).
Halloween needed a sequel before it even happens so Baka Gaijin + Friends went to work. ChieDK all showed up to the main event in monstrous forms. Chie Koishikawa was now walking the earth as a zombie, Masahiro Takanashi entered the room as a vampire and Chris Brookes was reduced to being a sad clown. Things were a little different for their opponents. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo were their usual selves while Ram Kaichow was now wrestling in her own lucha mask under the name Ms. Kaichow (although Brookes quickly unmasked her). At a time when the masked wrestlers needed to be a united team against the forces of darkness, Bueno & Malo soon started to argue because Bueno wanted to fight fair while Malo wasn’t afraid to fight dirty. Things went south when Bueno stopped Malo from using a beer bottle as a weapon. Malo then decided to break the bottle over Bueno’s head! He walked off to let CDK beat Bueno and then returned to drop a pumpkin on top of Bueno’s prone body.
The rest of the card was not announced before the show so fans were surprised to see HARASHIMA show up wearing a pumpkin costume. He also wore plain wrestling trunks he had to borrow from someone else because he forgot to bring his regular wrestling gear. But when it came to his match against Munetatsu Nakamura, HARASHIMA kept it simple and outgrappled his opponent to win.
The opening bout was a 4 Way Match with every wrestler involved competing in a school girl sailor outfit. MAO and Sayaka were in the match as themselves in the costume but Keigo Nakamura and Antonio Honda went full on roleplaying as school girls. MAO ended up taking off his costume to reveal he was wearing a tight gym top and speedo underneath before pinning Nakamura with the Rainmaker.
A costume contest was hosted by Takayuki Ueki during the show. Ueki recently dislocated his shoulder so his costume was Zangief from Street Fighter II after he loses a fight. The winner came dressed a Chris Brookes and was even brought back for the main event to briefly swap places with the real Chris Brookes.
Baka Gaijin will be holding their 2nd Anniversary show on 10th December.
