A new champion will be crowned on 9/20 with a determination match between Arisu Endo & Jada Stone.

Injury Report: GLEAT Wrestler Update (It’s Not GLEAT)

Or not great at all…far from it. GLEAT wrestler Takanori Ito was recently injured in a traffic accident and the promotion provided an update on his injuries today…nothing short of major. Left knee MCL, meniscus, left elbow contusion, right elbow LCL, cervical spine strain, lumbar contusion, right ankle sprain, right ankle joint contusion and will need knee surgery. Uh, damn. Out indefinitely but sounds like it’s going to be well into 2026 before he can return. The accident is under police investigation.

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: No Fireballs For A While

New Japan has announced that, while competing last week for Revolution Pro in England, Francesco Akira was injured during a match. Fractured right wrist. Out indefinitely but safe to say a few months. No further details provided.

More as it becomes available.

DEVELOPING: Major TJPW Star Done With Promotion

Much to my delight, Maki Itoh lost to Yuki Arai this past weekend in Tokyo Joshi Pro (I’m happy anytime Arai wins plus when Itoh and/or Mizuki lose) but showed unusual behavior afterwards…a somewhat show of respect in defeat. Turns out that was Itoh’s final appearance as she is now done with the promotion. Contract expired after that match and will not be renewed. She will continue her career elsewhere, I can see her relocating to the US and becoming a regular in Game Changer Wrestling where she seems to be in high demand especially for their hardcore/ultraviolent matches.

BREAKING: G1 Winner Cashing In Early Again (Updated)

Last year after winning the New Kapan G1 CLIMAX Tournament, Zack Sabre Jr. broke with tradition by taking his guaranteed IWGP World Heavyweight Championship shot before the normal date of 1/4 at the Tokyo Dome. New Japan just revealed this year’s winner Konosuke Takeshita is following suit-he is taking his shot on 10/13 at KING OF PRO WRESTLING 2025 at Ryogoku Kokugukan in Tokyo against the champion at the time. That will be determined by Sabre’s next defense vs. Ren Narita on 9/28 at DESTRUCTION in Kobe.

UPDATE: In other 9/28 news, NEVER Openweight Champion Boltin Oleg vs. Don Fale for the title has also been announced.
