Chris Brookes vs Ram Kaichow, Vol. 19 (21/1/25), Baka Gaijin + Friends

Tall and small

I need to deliver a slight disclaimer before we get started. My first watch of this match was on the train home from a Napalm Death gig where I’d drunk around five pints. Understandably, I was in a rare jolly mood, which may have influenced my feelings towards it. However, I have since rewatched it, and I largely stand by my original thoughts, so fuck it. If my opinions on wrestling can’t be influenced by one of the greatest bands of all time, what can they be influenced by? And surely the ideal way to watch Baka Gaijin is while slightly intoxicated? I was merely getting in the mood.

Jaguar Yokota & Honori Hana vs Yumiko Hotta & Misa Kagura, Sareee-ISM Chapter VI (23/1/25), Sareee-ISM

I don’t have many strong memories of Honori Hana’s first run. That’s not to say I don’t remember her, but the SEAdLINNNG rookie who stood out back then was Rico Kaiju, with Honori often sliding into the background. For the two and a bit years she was originally wrestling (most of which took place in the pandemic and only made up around 80 matches), she seemed destined to become a solid hand. Make no mistake about it, no one who comes out of a dojo run by Nanae Takahashi, Natsuki Taiyo, Arisa Nakajima and Yoshiko is going to stink the joint out, but I don’t remember there ever being a moment when I saw something big in her.

Unagi Sayaka & Minoru Suzuki vs Jun Kasai & Minoru Fujita, Unagi Sayaka Produce Show (2/9/24) Review

The main event of Unagi Sayaka’s latest produce show was a flawed affair. It didn’t need the twenty-six minutes it was handed, which meant there was an abundance of filler as everyone wandered around trying to fill space. However, what it got right, it got really right. When you’ve got Minoru Suzuki and Unagi dripping blood all over the place, the Eel’s blonde hair turning red while Suzuki had streaks of it running down his chest, you can get away with a few flaws.

Sareee-ISM Chapter III (16/1/24) Review

Old rivals clash once more. Credit: Here

As one big Japanese star makes their way to America, another somewhat smaller one continues to forge a new path on their return to their homeland. Since leaving WWE, Sareee has been brilliant, and these semi-regular Sareee-ISM shows have been a particular highlight of her run so far. Not only do they position her in high-profile matches, but they’re packed with some of the best wrestlers in the scene, with this one looking no different. Let’s see what went down.
