7. Mr. Bueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes & Zack Sabre Jr. when Bueno pinned Brookes with a Diving Body Press from the human pyramid (?:??).

Let’s give it up for Chris Brookes making it to 18 years in the wrestling business! Let’s give it up to Baka Gaijin + Friends for making it to three years too. The third anniversary for this island of misfit toys was held away from the usual home of ARENA Shimokitazawa. They went for a bigger room this time by going to Shinjuku FACE but still held the show without a ring to keep it as the genuine article.

The main event was Brookes taking on someone who was kept a mystery to the fans until it was time for his entrance. It was Zack Sabre Jr.! The name of the bout was “A Match Of Hate?” and the two showed no mercy to each other by fighting amongst the crowd. Sabre’s close friend Antonio Honda had no choice but to do the rubber band spot to him while Brookes also dropped a child onto Sabre’s prone body afterwards. Sabre got some of his own licks in by Back Body Dropping Brookes onto the venue’s counter before bringing him back to the centre of the room to further pick Brookes apart. The two continued to go back and forth until Brookes gave Sabre the Praying Mantis Bomb and the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

The action didn’t stop there because after the match MAO interrupted Brookes on the microphone and started arguing with him. Mr. Bueno ran down to bring peace but was left insulted when Sabre told him to fuck off. Everyone then started telling each other to fuck off until MAO & Bueno agreed to fight Brookes & Sabre, starting an impromptu bonus tag match! More chaotic brawling followed and screeched to a halt when Sabre tripped over the mat and hurt his knee. Honda got on the microphone to tell a Gongitsune joke only for MAO to stop him. MAO then summoned all of the other wrestlers on the show to lead a train attack at Sabre seated in the remains of the front row. That ended when Minoemon stopped himself in front of Sabre to tell him he was Minoru Suzuki in disguise! The two hugged and launched a counter attack on everyone, Brookes included. Their rampage was stopped with a fire extinguisher attack from Takagi Sanshirobo, which then resulted in Takayuki Ueki & Munetatsu Nakamura entering the room as cops. They suddenly held everyone at gunpoint threatening to shut the show down. MAO disarmed Nakamura but tragedy struck during the scramble to get the other gun from Ueki. Brookes succeeded in grabbing the gun but accidentally shot Sabre in the process! Brookes cradled the wounded Sabure in his arms until Sabre fainted. Out of desperation, Brookes charged the other team only to get knocked out by MAO’s Hurricane Kick. Bueno then threw Takeshi Masada on top of Brookes and ordered all of the other wrestlers to form a pyramid for him to climb. From the top of the pyramid, Bueno thanked the fans and jumped off to hit a Diving Body Press onto Masada and Brookes. He then pinned Brookes for the victory. After the match Brookes revived Sabre by pouring a can of beer into his mouth.

The stakes were high for the fated singles battle between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. First, the BK-G Openweight Title held by Malo was on the line. Not only that but the loser of the match would have to unmask! Bueno had Malo’s cheating scouted yet respectfully kept allowing Malo to get back to his feet so they could fight on even terms. His good sportsmanship almost blew the match for him when Malo used the ref Daisuke Kiso to shield himself and then Low Blow his opponent after Kiso was thrown aside. But Bueno kicked out of a DDT and the Unprettier. He then got his momnentum back through a series of cradles that ended with him pinning Malo with a Hurricanrana to win the championship! Still, Bueno was too much of a good person to unmask his opponent afterwards, instead allowing Malo to take off the mask himself. Malo placed his poncho over his head and pulled the mask off. He then removed the poncho to reveal he is now wearing a white mask instead of his black on. Bueno couldn’t believe what he saw until he found the words to tell everyone what he was looking at… “My brother? I thought you died. I’m so happy!” The two brothers, now united, hugged to the applause of everyone in the room.

The Great Baka Mecha Wars couldn’t wait for all of the participants to be involved before it began. Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo immediately went to fight each other but soon the third fighter appeared. It was Minoemon, who as mentioned above was Minoru Suzuki disguised as the anime character Doraemon. He sat around with a bag of groceries, drinking beer and eating dorayaki until the other two robots attacked him. Minoemon and Sanshirobo brawled in the crowd while Mecha MAO stacked up some plastic cases and set out a table on top of them in the middle of the room. Mecha MAO and Sanshirobo then formed their own Megazord combination but it was all ruined when Minoemon poured water over the both of them. Mecha MAO short circuited around the room while Minoemon gave Sanshirobo the Gotch-Style Piledriver through the table and plastic cases to win the Mecha War.

The Brahman Brothers made a mess of their own with their match against Ueki’s Magic Kingdom. Things were made even worse when Karate Brahman decided to wipe natto all over his head. Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram all getting blinded with powder after that counts as a mercy killing in my book. I guess the damsel in distress who was kidnapped by the kingdom before the match was rescued as a result but it was anything but happy ever after.

Three members of the Daisetz band teamed up with one of their adoring fans in an 8-Man Tag Match. Chie Koishikawa was running around waving lightsticks for Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Hagane Shinno during their entrance. Facing them were the international foursome of Baliyan Akki from India, Shivam & Jonathan Johnson from Thailand and Sayaka from Japan. The two sides ended up getting into a Bionic Elbow duel. Everything then broke down until the Egg Tart team of Shinno & Koishikawa double cradled Sayaka for the pinfall.

The show opened with Shunma Katsumata announcing a Baka Battle Royal full of surprise entrants. Fuminori Abe and HARASHIMA started things off then were quickly joined by Shota and K4PY. Then Kota Sekifuda appeared carrying a large snake! He chased the wrestlers into the crowd where Abe picked up a child to hold up near the snake. HARASHIMA forced Abe to apologise while Sekifuda continued scaring everyone with his pet, even making Yukinori Matsui tap out even though he wasn’t part of the match. HARASHIMA finally put a stop to things by putting Sekifuda in a Cobra Twist while the snake was twisting itself around Sekifuda. He gave up and was the first elimination from the match. Shota was the next one gone when he and Takeshi Masada fought over a Backslide Pin. Abe kicked Masada in the stomach, unintentionally helping him roll Shota over for the pinfall. Suddenly danger happened when Dr. Cube entered the Battel along with two Kaiju from his posse: Erebus & Eargernon II. Together they ran wild on the other wrestlers and eliminated Abe, Masada and K4PY all at once. HARASHIMA showed shades of HERO! in trying to fight Dr Cube’s Posse off but he too also fell to them. It was all up to Shin Suzuki to save the day as the final entrant. He grabbed Dr. Cube’s helmet and twisted it off, removing his grisly face beneath and knocking him out with a neck snap in the process. He then pinned Erebus with the Takatonic to fully eliminate the Posse, making him the last man standing.

Ban-etsu East Line Train

There will be a train ride leaving Koriyama Station to the destination Iwaki Station where several street pro wrestling matches will be held. The matches will be announced on the day of the show.

The wrestlers taking part include Yuki Ueno, To-y, MAO, KANON, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi (replacing Danshoku Dieno who hasn’t been cleared to wrestle), Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata, Yukio Naya, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi. Several of them will be on the train ride too.

6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Kaya Toribami & Kira Summer
7. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume & HIMAWARI

The Princess Of Princess Title match buildup is getting more serious with the big guns now starting to appear. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi are teaming up as Daydream again for the first time since July to give Suzume a big challenge ahead of the title match. Suzume isn’t teaming with Arisu Endo to reform Daisy Monkey though. Maybe that will happen down the line. Instead she is teaming with HIMAWARI.

Miyu Yamashita won’t be on the show because she is still on her European tour.

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

It’s been a while since Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo fought their epic mecha battles in front of everyone. Now a third mecha is entering the fight. The X in the The Great Baka Mecha Wars has been greatly hinted to be something in the form of Minoru Suzuki. The possibility of it brings my memories back to Suzuki’s infamous match with Mecha Mummy at a MUSCLE show where a Gotch-Style Piledriver into a shallow lake caused a massive explosion that destroyed Mecha Mummy while leaving Suzuki with a significant piece of technology embedded in his eye. Imagine thinking we would ever get a follow up to that ending 16 years later?

5. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga Vs Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai

The full card of the show’s wrestling portion has been decided. Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida are joining forces as die hard fans of OCHA NORMA to defend the group’s honour against the Coffee Breakers of Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer.

The two masked women are being paired together as a tag team. Surely Kaya Toribami will find something in common with the newcomer Ochanor Mask.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Alexis Lee
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha

Two more title matches are added to the Thailand show, one of which clears up a piece of reporting from Fightful’s paywall that ended up being unintentionally sloppy. Their Patreon page reported that MLW are expecting Shoko Nakajima to defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in Asia again in the next coming months. The problem is they reported this just days after she had a title defence in Japan for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they clearly had no idea that had happened, so it came off as both a late slip as well as “No shit, Sherlock.” Now we see that the title defence being talked about is this match against Alexis Lee that is happening at TJPW’s Thailand show but again, Fightful’s never gave any detail like that so their reporting still comes off like nobody over there pays attention to the product (and continues my gripes over MLW news often being just glorified press releases). Considering part of their audience for a time thought Marigold closed down because they hadn’t heard anything about the company from the site since its first Sumo Hall event shows how bad their general Japan coverage is. Even their recent report that many of New Japan’s deals with their wrestlers no longer default to January every year is old news to the die hard fans.

The new IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions will hold their first defence of the titles in Thailand. Yamashita & Toribami’s opponents are two wrestlers who have held championships in SETUP before and even fought over it in TJPW. Do Raku & Pom Harajuku have it in them to win more gold in Southeast Asia?

There will also be a small scale SETUP show taking place the same afternoon before this show although I don’t know if anyone from TJPW will be on it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

January will see J-Rod come back to TJPW for a second tour. She will be at the 4th January show in Korakuen Hall as well as the 10th January show in Shinjuku FACE.

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.

It will happen eventually but first BASARA is putting together an extra show this month to capitalise on Golden Week.

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.

He’s been playing the long game, focusing more on targeting Yuki Ueno’s legs and wearing him down over time instead of winning all of their prelim matches against each other. It was only just at the end when Ueno started to show cracks in the armour, showing frustration over how Akito’s been handling him.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. THIRTEEN: SPEED OF LIFE”, 09/04/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Takagi Sanshirobo defeated Tyrannosaurus Inoue by Referee Stoppage (27:11).
2. 3 Way Dance: Baliyan Akki defeated Munetatsu Nakamura and Gaia Hox when Akki pinned Nakamura with a Backslide Pin (12:17).
3. Special Single Match: Maya Yukihi defeated Antonio Honda with the Snow Crystal (14:40).
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Miyuki Takase with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:38).

The latest guest to join in the Baka Gaijin + Friends fun is Miyuki Takase. She is one of the top joshi freelancers going at the moment which makes her a kind of opponent Chris Brookes is always looking for. At the start he showed her respect until he begun making fun of the height difference between them. Takase found a way to make that problem go away by standing on some stools to reach his height. That plan failed when she leaned over to far and Brookes let her fall to the floor. Takase then figured out how to cut her opponent down to her own level. It allowed her to exchange strikes back and forth with Brookes and even hit some big moves. It caused Brookes to change tactics and bring out plastic boxes. Takase used her agility to bust one of the boxes over Brookes’ head but in return he slammed her onto the boxes afterwords. The small room they fought in was somehow big enough for Takase to do the Jackhammer in. Brookes also just had the space needed to do a small Diving Knee Drop from the bar counter. He followed that move with the Praying Mantis Bomb for the three count.

Maya Yukihi came back for her third appearance in Baka Gaijin and finally won a match here for the first time. She took on Antonio Honda. She immediately gave him Leg Kicks which made him call for timeout after each one because they were so painful to take. When he finally got into the swing of things, Yukihi switched her strikes from kicks to slaps causing him to call more timeouts until he could blindside her. Honda took control of the match and focused on pulling Yukihi’s hair while slapping the parts of her body that wasn’t covered by her gear. Yukihi fought back and put Honda in an Anaconda Vice. That was broken up when Honda reached out to a fan and grabbed their hand as if it was a rope break. He got the better of her in a battle of the Bionic Elbows but all momentum stopped when he stepped onto a stool and slipped off. It was to set up the Gongitsune joke and its follow up attack. The attack missed and hit Daisuke Kiso instead. Later the Shining Gongitsune attack also missed and took out Kiso again. Honda went for it one more time but Yukihi deflected it back into his own eyes. She then gave him the Snow Crystal Michinoku Driver to pin him for the victory.

The 3 Way Match had to take place in an odd spot of the show because the opening bout had not even finished yet. But Baliyan Akki, Munetatsu Nakamura and Gaia Hox went out there and gave it their all in a match where everyone needed to have eyes in the back of their heads. It reached the point where each wrestler tried out ways to pin both of their opponents at the same time! With so many trial and errors leading to nearfalls, Akki ended up being the one to outsmart the other two. He was able to pin Nakamura with a Backslide while pressing Hox up against the wall with his feet so the pin wouldn’t be broken.

The show began with a mad doctor entering the room but it was not Mad Dr. Ueki. Instead it was the scientist from the Mummy Research Institute who created Mecha Mummy back in 2005! He heard another doctor was misusing his creation in Baka Gaijin so he came here to show off his newest creation… Takagi Sanshirobo! Fighting the new mecha was a dinosaur on the rampage called Tyrannosaurus Inoue! It was a battle too big for ARENA Shimokitazawa and the two combatants took their fight out to the streets of Tokyo. They took too long to come back so the 3 Way Match had to go ahead. When the 3 Way ended, Sanshirobo Vs Inoue returned to the venue after spending time fighting in a nearby arcade, a fashion store and also a comedy show. Inoue hurt his knees and took a timeout to tell a dirty joke like Antonio Honda would. Meanwhile the scientist fitted Sanshirobo with a new Mecha Hand weapon that sprayed a mystery subtance. It caused Inoue to falter and fall weak as if it was deflating. Sanshirobo gave him multiple Stunners until Inoue collapsed. Kiso checked his arm three times and they dropped each time, resulting in a KO win for Sanshirobo!
