Some of the tricks and treats you get for Halloween don’t always turn the way you want them to. Baka Gaijin + Friends brought in a former champion to challenge Mr. Malo for the BK-G Openweight Title. That former champion is Kazuki Hirata and any high hopes for him to dethrone the champion immediately fell apart. Malo easily distracted him, gave him a Low Blow and rolled him up with a School Boy to win in seconds. MAO then confronted Hirata after the match and complained to him in a manner like Hisaya Imabayashi, causing the match to be restarted. Malo distracted Hirata again, gave him another Low Blow and pinned him with another School Boy. Takayuki Ueki (who worked the show as the ring announcer and was dressed as Reze from Chainsaw Man) then did the complaining and the match restarted again. Same thing still happened. Mr. HAKU couldn’t help but shout from the camera spot and complain to Hirata for losing like this. Another restart happened but the same thing happened once more. Now Chie Koishikawa joined in the complaining and got another restart. Malo didn’t even need to distract Hirata this time, he just did a Low Blow and pinned him. Chris Brookes stormed out to yell at Hirata in both English and Japanese before granting one more restart. The same thing still happened but this time Brookes broke the pin and everyone ganged up on Malo. Hirata blew his spot though and Malo went back on the attack, going as far as to destroy the Hirata GO glasses. Suddenly Mr. Bueno appeared to cheer on Hirata and motivate him into making a comeback. He then pulled out an extra pair of Hirata GO glasses and placed them on Hirata to make him power up with his dance. His second wind was cut off when Malo handed him a small jack-o’-lantern filled with firecrackers, filling the room with sparks and small explosions coming from Hirata’s hands. Malo then rolled him up with a School Boy once more to win yet again.
More surprises were in store when an unadvertised Halloween Rumble took place after intermission. Munetatsu Nakamura set the stage for how weird it was going to get by entering the match dressed as a Labubu. Entrant #2 turned out to be Thai wrestler Jonathan Johnson acting like The Joker. MAO was the next entrant dressed as a large square wall. He gleefully stood in the way of the fans to block their view while being impervious to his opponents’ attacks. Kota Ibushikoshi entered dressed as a schoolgirl but MAO escaped from his own costume to pin him with a Running Knee Strike for the first elimination. Next entrant was Chie Koishikawa in a shark costume running around biting everyone. Sayaka dressed as Haku from Spirited Away calmed her down by offering her a rice ball. Koishikawa ate it and felt full enough to take a nap. Everyone else pushed MAO on top of her and then piled on for the pin. Things took a turn when Ram Kaichow ran into the room dressed as Chucky and stabbed Sayaka with a machete! That was enough for a three count and Sayaka was out. The final entrant then appeared. It was Antonio Honda as Pero Pero Oyakata, his tribute gimmick to Hulk Hogan. He ripped off his vest but felt so cold in the room that he wanted to quit. But first he wanted to tell a Gongitsune story and then poked everyone in their eyes. MAO tipped over and fell so he was easily pinned. Oyakata then used the Pero Pero Driver (set up like the Pedigree but he swivels his hips to snap his opponent’s neck) to eliminate Johnson and Nakamura. The match slowed down when he tried to use the move on Kaichow. She escaped and with an upward swing, struck Oyakata between the legs with her machete. That put him down for the count and Kaichow won the Rumble.
Mr. Bueno decided to wrestle his match wearing an inflated sumo wrestler costume for his match against Kota Sekifuda. He also decided his sumo name is Takatoriki Jr. (Takatoriki being Yukio Naya’s father). The two briefly fought their way out of the room. Bueno returned first and expected to win by countout but Sekifuda returned wearing his own inflated sumo costume! They wrestled sumo style until Bueno tried to climb onto the bar counter for a high flying attack. Except when he was ready to do it, Sekifuda pulled out a living snake from his costume! He used the snake to scare Bueno back down to the floor so he could wrap the snake around his neck. Bueno escaped and physically forced Sekifuda to hand the snake away to Daisuke Kiso. Sekifuda climbed onto some stools to do his own dive but Bueno acted like he had a snake of his own hidden in his costume. Sekifuda didn’t fall for it but Bueno still blocked his dive and used an Inside Cradle to get the win.
In the opening match Brookes was dressed like one of the Baseball Furies from The Warriors. His opponent K4PY was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, a decision that led to a few wardrobe malfunctions as the match progressed. Brookes found a fan dressed like one of The Brahman Brothers and got them to do the rubber band spot from across the room. Brookes ended up winning by giving K4PY the Praying Mantis Bomb, almost damaging something from the ceiling in the process.
