GLEAT 6/20/2026 Reuslts

GLEAT ran a house show this past Saturday in Tokyo, which was dubbed SONIC WRESTLING instead of the usual G PROWRESTLING.

Saturday’s event was held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and should be available on demand on YouTube at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 201.

Match 1: Minoru Tanaka & Ryuchi Kawakami beat Vent Vert Jack & Kapy. Tanaka pinned Kapy after Minoru Special.

Match 2: Junjie, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Yuya Aoki beat ARASHI, So Daimonji & JD Lee. Junjie pinned Lee after a rolling lariat.

FREE VIDEOS: Sumo-2026 Paris Event (June 2026)

As expected, it didn’t take long for videos from the June 2026 Paris Grand Sumo event to male it online. One YouTube channel I follow has put both events up in digest format (lightly edited fan video) featuring each day’s knockout tournament that featured almost all the top tier wrestlers participating (the only one who didn’t was Asanoyama. He didn’t go due to injury). Some other happenings are also featured. These videos can be watched FOR FREE on YouTube and consist of nearly 4 hours of footage. You can also watch them below:

Day 1:

Day 2:

Also, a correction to a prior post where I said Ozeki Kotozakura swept the 2 days and won both tournaments: Partially incorrect. It turns out he won Day 1 and Yokozuna Hoshoryu won Day 2. That was followed by a soccer-style Grand Championship playoff to crown the overall champion-Kotozakura beat Hoshoryu to win that. I did not know Hoshoryu won the second day beforehand.

New Japan News: Partial 6/19/2026 CMLL Participation Results

New Japan and Mexico’s CMLL ran another FANTASTICAMANIA 2026 event Friday, this one in Mexico. New Japan has provided results from their participation in the event.

Friday’s event was held at Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico and can be watched on demand on the CMLL YouTube channel, but it is currently paywalled behind what I believe is a $30/month (USD) membership tier. It may be un-paywalled at a later date or the matches may be added to New Japan World.

Match 1: Valiente Jr., Futuri & Max Starr beat YUTANI, OKUMURA & Shoma Kato. Valiente pinned Kato after Codiego Rojo (Code Red).

Match 3: Mascara Dorada, Templatio & Neon beat Titan, Taiji Ishimori & Robbie X. Dorada pinned X after a shooting star press.

Match 4: CMLL World Tag Team. Hampions Niebla Roja & Angel De Oro beat Dick Togo & SANADA to retain the titles.

Match 5: El Phantasmo beat Barbaro Cavernario.

Match 6: Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero beat Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero. Takeshita pinned Ultimo Guerrero after Raging Fire.

Main Event: In a 2/3 Falls Match, Mistico, Tiger Mask & Blue Panther beat Averno, Blavk Toget & Volador Jr. 2-0. Fall 1: Mistico pinned Averno after La Mistica. Fall 2: TM 4 pinned Black Tiger after a tiger driver. This was TM 4’s final Mexico match before his retirement on 7/7. He was presented with a special commemorative CMLL Championship belt afterwards.

Stardom News: Title Match Set For 6/30

After this past weekend’s PPV where Suzu Suzuki became the NEW World Of Stardom Champion, I figured her first title defense would not come until after the 5STAR GP. Change of plans…Stardom announced today she will defend before then. The challenger: Utami Hayashishita. That match will happen on 6/30 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

The rest of the card is TBA.

News: Absent Former Wrestler Returns Today (Updated)

One of the great unsolved mysteries of women’s pro wrestling is why former Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler Hikari Noa decided to walk away in 2024 in her potential prime after announcing she was taking an indefinite leave of absence. She silently decided not to return and completely disappeared from social media before resurfacing in April. Today we didn’t really get any answers but we got a resurrection-Noa returned to wrestling at a Sayaka Unagi Produced independent event. I don’t have results yet and no word on when she will next compete but Noa indicated she will do an online autograph signing Wednesday and Unagi is hinting at a major event for her 40th birthday on 9/2. We’ll see what happens but for now it’s good to see Noa back in wrestling even if we never get answers about why she walked away from TJPW and Up Up Girls.

UPDATE: We won’t have to wait long to see Noa wrestle again. She has been added to the GLEAT 5th Anniversary Event on 7/1 at SGC Hall Ariake in Tokyo. She will team with Unagi, Misa Kagura & Ayame Sasamura to face MICHIKO Marika Kobashi, Azusa Inaba & Chanyota. That event will probably be streamed on YouTube.

After that, she could be part of a pair of Unagi produced events on 8/8 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, so it sounds like her plans are to work with Unagi for now with another event here & there

Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling 6/21/2026 LIVE Results (Event 1)

Dragon Gate runs their monthly same-day house show doubleheader today, this time back in Fukuoka for back-to-back events. It kicks off what actually is a tripleheader with a 3rd event on Monday. Both events today have 6 matches planned with the first half main event being an 8-man tag match between Love & Peace and Natural Vibes. And speaking of Love & Peace, it was announced today that JACKY KAMEI & Riiita are headed to Pro Wrestling NOAH on 7/18 to challenge for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.

Today’s event(s) will be held at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. You will also be able to watch the first match (of both events) FOR FREE on YouTube. There will be no commentary, but the DRAGONGATE NETWORK version will have an alternate feed with wrestler commentary. With 6 matches planned and probably the usual intermission near the end it won’t be a long event, in part because they’ll have the second event shortly after, so the running time should be around 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Homare & Kazuma Kimura vs. Yuki Yoshioka & El Cielo
Jiro Shinbashi vs. Takashi
Ultimo Dragon, Luis Mante & Flamita vs. Genki Horiguchi, Yasushi Kanda & Shachihoko BOY
YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Madoka Kikuta, KAI, Yoshiki Kato & Jason Lee

8:45 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan. There is no commentary. The wrestler commentary feed begins with the first match.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. We can only see a couple rows of seats from hard camera right now but usually hte first half of these events draws the smaller crowd. The venue’s capacity is in the 600-700 range, no clue about advance ticket sales but I’ll predict a crowd around 450.

The matches should begin in about 20 minutes.

9 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast begins now. As usual, only the first match.

The matches begin at 9:05 PM PT/12:05 AM ET.

Before the first match begins, Paradox (YAMATO, Dragon Kid, Susumu Yokosuka) comes out. YAMATO with microphone. He has a bag which apparently has the vacated Open The Triangle Gate Championship belts and returns it to GM Ryo Saito. It sounds like there might be a determination match to crown new champions next month at Kobe World Hall in Kobe.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 6/21/2026 LIVE Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro runs the penultimate event of the spring house show tour today in Nagoya. The main event will continue the build to the upcoming Yuki Arai-Miyu Yamashita Princess Of Princess Championship match, but also features young Ren Konatsu in what I believe is her first main event as she celebrates completing her rookie year in wrestling. Like the other young up-and-coming wrestlers she is starting to win some matches and show more promise of bigger & better things to hopefully come soon.

Today’s event will be held at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches planned but it’s a regular house show lineup so the running time should be on the normal side at about 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Toga & Chika Nanase
Pom Harajuku vs. Mahiro Kiryu & Sakura Hattori in a 3-way
Mizuki & Uta Takami vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Raku
Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer
Miu Watanabe vs. Hyper Misao
Rika Tatsumi vs. Shoko Nakajima
Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu vs. Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki

7:58 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Chunichi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The venue has a few different setups with the biggest being for 650 and the rest for 425-500. It looks like the full capacity and advance ticket sales were good, so it’ll depend on today’s ticket sales but I’ll predict on the high end and say around 500. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 444, a legit sellout)

The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes.

The matches begin at 8:13 PM PT/11:13 PM ET.
