Shunma Katsumata was allowed to come play inside ARENA Shimokitazawa for the latest Baka Gaijin + Friends show. He wanted to be part of a crazy match and when he was told Mecha Mummy would be his opponent, he wasn’t satisfied. That attitude came back to bite him in the ass because he was then told to fight Mummy & Mad Dr. Ueki in a Handicap Match under Hardcore rules! The scientist and his prize project attacked Katsumata with chairs, the Mecha Drill and staplers. But Katsumata got his own back and used the stapler on Ueki. The stapler usage continued back and forth until Katsumata brought out the box of Lego and spilled it all over the mat! He and Ueki kept slamming each other onto the Lego and then agreed to take off their boots and fight each other bare foot on the Lego! Ueki later took out a plastic bag, filled it with Lego and tried to suffocate his opponent with it. Instead Katsumata grabbed the bag, pulled it up Ueki’s foot and tied it up so he had to walk on the blocks whether he wanted to or not! Mummy hit Katsumata with the Rocket Punch to break up a pin. Katsumata gave Mummy a Death Valley Driver in response. He then rolled up both Mummy & Ueki up in the mat, climbed the bar and hit the Totonou Splash onto the pile, pinning Mummy beneath for the victory.

Since Baka Gaijin is the place for unusual matches to happen, MAO came up with an idea. Japan has a college club scene where college students get to enter the ring and come up with their own image of what pro wrestling is. These clubs often include impersonators of actual pro wrestlers. So today MAO wanted to fight his own impersonator! His opponent goes by the name Kota Ibushikoshi and he showed up with the SWS Hardcore Championship, a title that belongs to SWS Gakusei Pro Wrestling based in Teikyo University. He handed the belt to Daisuke Kiso and confirmed to Chris Brookes that the belt will be on the line! The student mimicked MAO’s clothing poses and attitude but couldn’t beat the original. MAO had become the new SWS Hardcore Champion but his reign did not last long. The belt is defended under Iron Man rules and Ibushikoshi luckily found a way to win it back. At the end of the show MAO wanted to drink a bear with Ibushikoshi but couldn’t because Ibushikoshi is too young to drink. They agreed to drink cola together instead and Brookes suddenly announced whichever of the two finished their drink first would be the SWS Hardcore Champion. Ibushikoshi drank his glass empty before MAO could and was rewarded back the belt.

Somebody who was allowed to drink and had lots of it was Masahiro Takanashi. He walked into the room drunk and in need of a nap right there on the middle of the mat. He went to lie down with a blanket and eyemask and before anyone knew it, everyone in the room was in his dreams. It quickly turned into a nightmare because something that looked like a mix between Gota Ihashi and Opanchu Usagi entered the room. It was Opanchu Ihashi! Takanashi had to fight him off using the help of both Kiso and Brookes. Kiso bounced off of Ihashi but a Jumping Knee from Brookes stunned the bunny so Takanashi could roll him up with a School Boy and win.

After an impressive match against Brookes last month, Munetatsu Nakamura was back in Baka Gaijin to take on Antonio Honda. During the match Honda’s trick knee went out again and he needed medical attention. Luckily his call for help was met by the sudden appearance of an anonymous doctor, presumably British, who entered the room to check on him. The doctor tried using limbwork to heal Honda but it didn’t seem to fix the problem. Instead Honda came up with a Gongitsune joke but his attack missed Nakamura and hit both Kiso and the doctor instead. Blinded by the misfire, the doctor grabbed Nakamura and put him in a Sleeper Hold. Honda then immediately put Nakamura in a Cobra Clutch to make him tap out.

The next Baka Gaijin show will be on 27th February.
