BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 27: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME”, 13/01/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Shota with the Daisuke Kiso assisted Hair Of The Dog (?:??).
2. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha defeated Princess Ram with a Modified Cradle (?:??).
3. “Mr. Bueno” (MAO) & Mr. Malo defeated HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Malo pinned Honda after a Full Nelson/Codebreaker Combo (?:??).
4. Special Handicap Match: Jun Kasai defeated Dark King Ueki & Munek when Kasai pinned Ueki & Munek with the Cross-Arm Stimulation (?:??).

It’s back to business as usual inside ARENA Shimokitazawa, which means Baka Gaijin + Friends providing unexpected treats for the packed bar room. After the supposed main event had finished, Ueki’s Magic Kingdom interrupted Chris Brookes to complain about not being booked for the shot. As punishment Dark King Ueki & Munek “imprisoned” Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda behind the bar (which just meant they had easier access to the drinks) in an attempt to take over Baka Gaijin for themselves. However they did not expect Jun Kasai to come to the rescue! He challenged Ueki & Munek to a Handicap Match. In a battle of chairs, keyboards and plastics boxes filled with firecrakcers Kasai got the win by Piledriving Munek on top of Ueki before pinning them both.

After the match Kasai “freed” FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and revealed that he too is a member of the group! Brookes corrected him and said it is his son Hinata Kasai who is a member of Fandora and they don’t have room to add anyone else from his family. Jun understood the mistake and explained when he read on Twitter that FANTÔMES DRAMATIC were on the show today, he saw the name Kasai in the tweets and assumed it meant himself. That is why he came over today. However he doesn’t want to step on his son’s toes and decided he won’t join the unit after all. Honda assured Jun that Hinata is a wonderful human being and he will be looked after in Fandora.

Something was off about Mr. Bueno’s appearance today. He was here to team up with his brother Mr. Malo to fight HARASHIMA & Honda but his mask looked an awful lot like MAO in facepaint. He was in a good mood though and spoke English throughout the match so it was undeniably Mr. Bueno. He & Malo attacked Honda with their gloves and poncho but the same glove slaps had no effect on HARASHIMA. “Bueno” threw himself in HARASHIMA’s path to stop him from doing the Somato to Malo, then knocked him out with a distraction punch. Malo then revealed he had secretly switched his tecnico white mask back to his rudo black one and he gave Low Blows to the other team. He and his brother then finished off Honda for the victory.

A new friendly presence arrived in Baka Gaijin. The masked wrestler Tokyo Ganesha was happy to meet so many new people, among them was his opponent Princess Ram. She yelled into his ears and pulled his trunk. He tried to playfully fight back before losing his cool and throwing a hard Chop at Ram’s chest. Ganesha then tried to calm things down by picking up Ram to carry her through the crowd of fans. Ram then poured a drink over Ganesha’s head to make him lose his temper. She put up a tough fight, finding ways to counter his moves until he found a counter of his own for the Rainmaker, sweeping Ram onto her back with a roll up to get the win. Ganesha was happy with how his Baka Gaijin debut went and he gave Shin Suzuki a big hug on his way to the back.

The opening match between Brookes and Shota had other people dragged into it. Brookes brought in a couple of fans to slam them on top of Shota. He got a taste of his own medicine when Shota and a fan reversed a Brainbuster together. When the fight went back to being one on one, Shota kicked out of a Piledriver and climbed the bar counter to go high risk. Brookes used his knees to block a Diving Body Press and then used a bumpy moment with Daisuke Kiso to Mule Kick Shota below the belt. Shota got his own back when Brookes accidentally knocked out Kiso with a Chop but that meant Kiso wasn’t able to count the pinfall afterward. Kiso then became used as a weapon by both wrestlers as they tried forcing him to do double team moves. It ended with Kiso unintentionally giving Shota a Crucifix Pin while Brookes rolled over both of them to cradle Shota with a bridge. Kiso decided to count the pin from that position even though he was helping Brookes pin down Shota at the time.

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be held in ARENA Shimokitazawa on 24th February.
