1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno (w/ Mr. Buebue) defeated Dark King Ueki (w/ Cerberus) with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (?:??).
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated Munek & Princess Ram when Honda pinned Munek with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (?:??).
3. King Of Square: Shin Mokujin Ken defeated MAO by Countout (?:??).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) defeated Danshoku Dieno with a Glass Bottle Attack (?:??). *V2 for Mr. Malo.
Everyone was in for a surprise when the main event was Mr. Malo putting out an open challenge where the BK-G Openweight Title was put on the line. It was answered by Danshoku Dieno! Given that this show was streaming live on Youtube, his antics during the match were very not Youtube friendly. He chased Malo through the crowd trying to Lip Lock him only to catch any male bystander who happened to get in the way. When that didn’t work he made Chie Koishikawa and other women grab Malo so he could spit beer at him but Malo ducked and Koishikawa the women got sprayed with alcohol instead. He then stuck the stem of a flower up Dieno’s backside then pulled it out to stab him with it but missed and stuck it straight into Yukinori Matsui’s mouth instead. With the ref gone missing, Dieno pulled down a banner to give Malo the Danshoku Nightmare (Youtube still had to blur everything in the replay) until Daisuke Kiso showed up as the replacement ref. Dieno tried to lure Malo into the Danshoku Driver but Malo grabbed Kiso by the head and pulled him in his place. Then Malo smashed a glass bottle over Dieno’s head while Kiso couldn’t see it, knocking him out to get pinned. After the match Mr. Bueno grabbed the microphone from Malo and told him he may not be the next challenger but someday he will become the BK-G Champion!
MAO also had a mystery challenger to fight on the show, one who was undoubtedly more square than he is! It was Shin Mokujin Ken! The rule of the match was it could only end on the square mat. MAO got the fans to chant “Shikaku” then polled the fans over who was more square shaped, otherwise they would get counted out for leaving the area. After some measuring between the two, the fans picked Ken. The two then tried to brawl into the crowd but briefly wedged themselves between the wall and a pillar. MAO felt the need to make himself into even more of a square so he grabbed a pack of posters and tucked it into his shirt. The plan worked at first until Ken did a spinning attack that knocked MAO through a nearby doorway. MAO tried to walk back in but got himself stuck in the doorway, causing him to get counted out! He was eventually able to free himself but he can no longer call himself the King Of Square. That title now rightfully belongs to Shin Mokujin Ken!
The first two matches ended up blending together so it’s best to move onto the opening match next. Mr. Bueno fought against Dark King Ueki in what was supposed to just be a one on one match. But Ueki used his magic vase to summon a deadly beast from his magic kingdom, the one headed Cerberus (that was not just a blanket he bundled up over his hand). Bueno was outnumbered until he revealed that he has a friend nearby too. It was a familiar looking puppet in a mask named Mr. Buebue! From that point the match became two versus two that went into the crowd. Buebue was briefly unmasked in the scuffle but Bueno kept his identity hidden until the mask went back on. Cerberus then tried to eat Buebue alive but Bueno pulled it off Ueki’s hand and threw it away! Ueki quickly went for revenge by grabbing Buebue and carrying him over to a nearby open window. He held Buebue hostage demanding Bueno bring Cerberus back to him. Bueno did so but Ueki didn’t live up to his word. He dropped Buebue out the window instead! Bueno lost his temper and attacked Ueki, dragging him all the way out of the building where the match continued away from the audience’s view.
A decision was made to start the second match straight away. In it Munek revealed to everyone what he and Ueki did to Ram Kaichow after they captured her soul two shows ago. Kaichow has now become Princess Ram of Ueki’s Magic Kingdom! Chris Brookes was the first to discover just how strong Ram was with her new magical power as she easily shoved him down from lockups. She is even invulnerable to Brookes’s chops. Munek then tried casting magic to Antonio Honda but all it did was make one of his nipples itchy. However Munek was able to use his magic to stop Brookes from doing the rubber band spot until Ram traded places with Honda. Ram also got to show her power again by giving Brookes a Power Bomb for a nearfall. Just when things looked at their worst, Mr. Bueno suddenly returned with Mr. Buebue safe and sound! Bueno ran in to save the day only to trip over and injure himself. He was in so much pain he wanted to retire but before he does that he wanted Honda to tell everyone a Gongitsune story first. It was all a ruse so Honda could cheap shot everyone (including Ueki who was also back in the room). Everything broke down into a free for all until Ueki accidentally hit Munek with a steel plate. Ueno and Honda then gave them a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch at the same time and both got the thee count, winning their respective matches all at once!

3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X
Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.
We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

9. Shosho Kogyo Co., Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match ~Sakuyakonohana Dramatic Dreams Vs Superhuman Teacher & Student Wrestling Masters~: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Dick Togo when Ueno pinned Sasaki with the WR (26:59).
The annual Osaka show put together by referee Yukinori Matsui took place today with Konosuke Takeshita’s return to DDT as the headline match. He teamed up with his friend and rival Yuki Ueno to fight the master and student pairing of Dick Togo & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo acted like his normal self for the match rather than his House Of Torture persona and while Sasaki did fight a little dirty at points it was mostly a clean and competitive match between the two sides. An exposed turnbuckle made the most impact by coming into play late in the match. Togo & Sasaki both put their opponents in the Crossface Lock only for Takeshita & Ueno to grab each other by the hands and power out of the holds. Takeshita blocked Togo from doing the Diving Senton onto Ueno and when Togo gave him a Dropkick, Takeshita hit back with a Knee Strike that led to both of them going out of the ring. Sasaki tried to finish off Ueno himself but got a Dropkick to the face and was then pinned with the WR.
Ueno welcomed Takeshita back after the match, reminding him it’s been three years since they last teamed together. Takeshita thinks a lot of people who came to the show today know him more for his New Japan matches than his DDT career so he explained his backstory with Ueno to the fans. He doesn’t know if or when there will be a next time they are in the ring together so he told Ueno they will always be each other’s classmates. Matsui said the match was so amazing that it made him laugh. Togo wanted to shake Matsui’s hand but it was just a trap and he gave him the Pedigree before leaving. Ueno then thanked the fans for coming to the show.
Could we be seeing more of Kohei Kinoshita in the future? He recently announced he will be leaving Dove Pro in August but hasn’t said what his plans are going to be after that. Chris Brookes beat him today in a non-title match but could he be sending some signals out by having a good performance against the KO-D Openweight Champion?
Match #5 went off the deep end because of No Name. She took both Kikutaro and Kuishinbo Kamen away from the ring backstage and after a few moments some screaming could be heard coming from their direction. No Name then returned to the ring carrying their decapitated heads! Everyone else in the match fainted from shock including Matsui. No Name ran off with the heads and Daisuke Kiso had to call off the match. Antonio Honda, Shunma Katsumata and Ram Kaichow all recovered afterwards and helped Matsui regain consciousness by kicking him.
Takeshita’s mother Keiko Takeshita was in attendance and even interrupted the opening speeches. When Matsui tried to stop her she gave him a Lariat and the Rainmaker.

The busiest week in wrestling is taking place in Las Vegas and Tokyo Joshi Pro was there to put on their biggest show in America ever. As one of the many shows taking place in The Collective series, TJPW put their best foot forward by presenting as genuine a TJPW experience as they could along with four championship matches filling up the second half of the card. The main event was also the biggest match they could currently put together when it comes to who the best two wrestlers in the company are.
Mizuki went up against the monster Miyu Yamashita to purposely give herself the toughest challenge to make herself even stronger as the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. Yamashita put her through a hellish time with kicks before dragging the champion over to the Pearl Theater stage. Mizuki fought back by dodging a Penalty Kick and then sprinting across the stage to jump onto her opponent with a Double Stomp. However Yamashita recovered and gave her the Attitude Adjustment on the stage. Back in the ring Yamashita got the better of the exchange by hitting the Skull Kick but was too hurt herself to make the pin. When she recovered she turned to run the ropes, presumably for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Mizuki grabbed onto her leg and gave her the Cutie Special. She followed up with the Run-Up Double Stomp, the Whirling Candy and then a bridging Cutie Special to finally beat Yamashita in a singles match for the first time!
After the match Mizuki got the microphone and asked the fans in English if they were happy? She then cheekily asked Yamashita if she was happy too? Yamashita obviously wasn’t. Mizuki then invited all of the present TJPW roster out for a group photo in the ring to close out the show. Backstage Yamashita admitted she was happy to wrestle Mizuki in Vegas with the Princess Title on the line but she lost and will never forgive Mizuki for that. She will now be touring across America for the next 3 months and promises to return at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” in July even stronger. Mizuki said Yamashita is a monster and she doesn’t like her but she is happy because the fans today were all so kind.
You can now add the TNA World Knockouts Title to the growing list of championships that have been defended on TJPW shows. The champion Masha Slamovich was already scheduled to face Miu Watanabe on the show and the title stipulation was only added a few days before. Watanabe focused on her strength and threw Slamovich with moves over and over. She even used the Inverted Tear Drop from the Canadian Backbreaker position. But Slamovich wouldn’t give up and landed a Headbutt followed by a Spin Kick to stun Watanabe. The White Knight Driver was then used to get Slamovich the win. Backstage Slamovich said she once promised to defend the Knockouts Title on a TJPW show and she did it today against one of the baddest women in the locker room. Her goal when she comes to TJPW is to beat their wrestlers one by one. She will fight them any time whether it’s for a championship or not. Watanabe is disappointed she couldn’t grab the big opportunity that was given to her. She also thinks Slamovich is crazy because she is wrestling something like 7,8 or 9 matches this week!
Maybe the two wrestlers who were most looking forward to visiting Las Vegas were Kyoraku Kyomei. With the casino right next to the theater, Shoko Nakajima wants to win big. She got off to a good start with a successful Princess Tag Teams Titles defence against Ober Eats. We got the “Hello Big Children” welcome from Hyper Misao and she quickly sprayed Yuki Kamifuku in the face. Wakana Uehara used Cartwheel Elbows into the corner and also the Banana Pillow to try and win. She got extra help from Kamifuku using the Famouser but in the end Misao landed the Hypami Returns on Uehara and Nakajima scored the pin with the Diving Senton. Now it’s on to the casinos to win big money! At least Kamifuku made a new friend in Uehara from teaming up together so much recently. Uehara said she wants Ober Eats to be the most glamorous tag team in TJPW.
In a rematch from last month Suzume put the International Title on the line again against Jada Stone. Suzume started off quick by hitting a Plancha out of the ring. She also had a roll up counter for the Spark Stunner. Stone had a big counter of her own, catching the Ring A Bell and turning it into a Gory Special. Stone also went high risk with the Sky Twister Press but only got a two count out of it. The two fought up to the top rope where Suzume grabbed Stone and gave her a Flying Facecrusher. That signalled the end and Suzume got the Ring A Bell right this time to beat Stone for the second time in a row. She said Stone had evolved a lot since the first match and has become her best rival. She would like to fight her again and again. Stone said this return to TJPW is her dream continuing and she would love to have another rematch because Suzume brings her abilities to the limit.
Due to visa problems Pom Harajuku could not travel for the show so Raku took her spot as Max The Impaler’s tag partner. Zara Zakher was confused to see Raku place a pillow in the ring and take a nap but it was only to lure Zakher into a Cradle. Raku also tried Poppo Chopping Maki Itoh but kept hurting her hand from hitting Itoh’s hard head. Max wasn’t happy with the pillow nonsense and Gorilla Pressed Raku onto their opponents. Whatever teamwork they had figured out fell apart when Raku missed a Poppo Chop and hit Max by accident. Max was then bumped forward, squashing Raku in the corner. Zakher took out Max with a dive out of the ring leaving Itoh to submit Raku with the Itoh Deluxe. Max had to drag a defeated Raku along the floor away from ringside.
With Raku moved up to Match #3, her spot in Match #2 was given to Ram Kaichow. What should have been a wonderful Las Vegas honeymoon for the wedded couple instead turned into confusion because Kaichow couldn’t find Raku anywhere in the ring. It didn’t take long for Rika Tatsumi to choke Kaichow while Shino Suzuki wanted to give her a tour of Vegas, calling one of the turnbuckle posts the High Roller casino. Vert Vixen then went on the attack until Kaichow faked fainting to make her opponent drop her guard. Viva Van fought off Tatsumi giving Suzuki the chance to try and beat Yuki Aino. That didn’t happen. Aino broke out of her Sleeper Hold and after the match broke down into a free for all, Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT.
Yuki Arai can celebrate her American debut because she got her hand raised against Arisu Endo. She got off to a good start using kicks and Big Boots, leading up to the Sharpshooter. Endo reached the ropes and turned the tables by putting Arai in the Camel Clutch to make her fight for a rope break in the same way. Endo tried to set up the Ju no Okite but Arai escaped and hit the Full Nelson Buster. Her first attempt at the Finally was blocked but after hitting the Rookie Award, she hit her finisher on the next attempt to win. Arai said she was very happy that Endo was her first opponent in America and she wants to see more of the country. She isn’t satisfied by where she is at now so will aim to grow by working hard even more. Endo was also happy to be Arai’s first opponent now that Arai is fully dedicated to pro wrestling. Next time Endo says she won’t lose!
The show began with a performance from the three members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) who were booked on the show. Raku also revealed that Amtrak was her Train Of The Day. Congratulations to Amtrak.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 21: THE BEGINNING OF THE END”, 15/04/2025 Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa ??? Fans
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.

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.
