GLEAT 1/19/25 Results

GLEAT ran their first G PROWRESTLING event of 2025 today in Tokyo.

Today’s event was held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo. There appears to have been no live broadcast so it should be on demand on YouTube in a few days, but possibly paywalled (live broadcasts now require membership to watch, including on demand, which is $8.99/month).

The announced paid attendance was 171.

Match 1: Ryuichi Kawakami & Rock Iwasaki beat KAZMA SAKAMORO & Quiet Storm. Kawakami pinned SAKAMOTO after Thunder Fire Bomb.

Match 2: In a G-RUSH Rules match, Issei Onitsuka beat JD Lee.

Match 3: In a G-RUSH Rules match, Tetsuya Izuchi beat Kotaro Suzuki.

Both Match 2 & 3 winners are now in a G-RUSH Tournament on 1/24.

Match 4: Brass Knuckles JUN & Chris Weiss beat T-Hawk & MICHIKO. JUN pinned MICHIKO after Frozen Punch.

Match 5: NOBU SAN beat Hayato Tamura.

Match 6: El Lindaman & Chris Ridgeway beat CIMA & Joe Rand. Ridgeway pinned Rand after Ridgeway Special 12.

Match 7: Minoru Tanaka & Ryo Aitaka beat Katsuhiko Nakajima & Takamori Ito. Tanaka pinned Ito after Minoru Special.

Match 8: Soma Watanabe, Takehiro Yamamura & Junjie beat Kaito Ishida, So Daimonji & MAZADA. Yamamura pinned Ishida with European Clutch.

Main Event: SBK & TAKUMA beat G INFINITY Champions Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Seigo Tachibana to win the titles. SBK & TAKUMA become the 8th G INFINITY Champions. TAKUMA pinned Kuroshio after a 630 splash. Afterwards, NOBU SAN appeared and announced he was joining Tokyo Bad Boys.

Post-main event, another shocking event-STRONGHEARTS disbanded. CIMA, El Lindaman, T-Hawk & Seiki Yoshioka are going their separate ways and the GLEAT mainstay faction since the beginning, dating back to before in Dragon Gate, is no more.

The next event is G-RUSH Friday at Shinjuku Face. Broadcast plans TBA.

GLEAT’s annual year-end blowout event, GLEAT Ver. 14, was held yesterday in Tokyo.

Yesterday’s event was held at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on YouTube…but for now it’s paywalled. They launched a new membership on the channel which will have the live and on demand broadcasts for now (whether or not they go un-paywalled at some point is not yet known). Membership is $8.99/month and will include other perks. All prior events that have been uploaded before this are still available on demand on the channel for free.

The next event is GLEAT Ver. 15 on 1/11 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Tokyo. Broadcast plans TBA, if live on YouTube expect it to be paywalled.

Injury Report: Rascalz Are Not GLEAT (Updated x2)

GLEAT has announced injury changes for their year-end 12/30 event at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo, and it’s rather significant-Trey Miguel, one half of the Rascalz in TNA, is now off the event. Broken finger. As a result, the G INFINITY Championship held by Miguel & Zachary Wentz is now VACANT. They will give up the titles as a result. They were to have defended the titles against T-Hawk & El Lindaman. They will now face TBA to crown new champions, which according to the event poster will be Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Seigo Tachibana. Wentz will remain on the event and will face a member of the winning team from the first match (Takanori Ito, Issei Onitsuka & CIMA vs. Junjie, JD Lee & Mr. Iguana) in a Into The G-RUSH Rules match (7 minute time limit, 2 count pinfalls and only 2 rope escapes allowed).

UPDATE: Wentz is now off as well. Visa issues. Card changes TBA. The 12/30 winners may not get the actual title belts as with the Rascalz unable to travel to Japan they can’t physically return them yet.

UPDATE 2: The Into The G-RUSH Rules match that Wentz was to have been in will now be CIMA vs. a member of the winning team. As a result, CIMA is now off the first match listed above. Kumaarashi is the replacement.

The next event is GLEAT Ver. 14 on 12/30 at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on YouTube will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET…however, it’s not going to be free. They will introduce a channel membership beginning on 12/23 for live broadcasts and other members-only bonus content. The subscription fee will be 990 Japanese yen/month, which works out to around $6.75 US. Like all YouTube membership channels, ti’s month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. I may get it at some point to support the promotion although schedules really don’t allow me to watch their events live.

Injury Report: GLEAT Doesn’t Like Cola

Current GLEAT wrestler CIMA has always had one of the best entrance songs since his Dragon Gate debut, a song called “ME GUSTA COLA”, which translates to “I LIKE COLA!” Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t, but maybe some bad cola was making the rounds because he is now on the sidelines temporarily. Fever. Out this weekend-GLEAT ran a non-televised house show today in Kyoto-there will be no video on YouTube, and another event tomorrow. Tomorrow he was to have teamed with Gamma and Maho Blanca to face Seiichi Ikemoto, Magnitude Kishiwada & MICHIKO. Minoru Tanaka is the replacement. Since tomorrow is in Osaka there will be no live broadcast, but it should be available on demand on YouTube by Wednesday or Thursday. This is the last GLEAT event before their year-end blowout event on 12/30 so CIMA should be back for that event.

News: GLEAT Wrestler Taking Extended Hiatus

GLEAT announced on their website that Yu Iizuka is taking an extended hiatus from the promotion effective at the end of the year. While he dealt with injuries this past year, including several concussions, he currently is not seriously injured or under doctor’s orders but wants to rest and focus on jiu-jitsu training while focusing on a full recovery. He is expected to still be part of the year-end 12/30 event at TDC Hall in Tokyo then will step away, based on translation of the promotion’s announcement this hiatus could be at least 6 months to a year or longer as they will check in with Iizuka every 6 months. He is also scheduled for Sunday’s event in Osaka.
