NEWS: Major GLEAT Departures (Updated x2)

After Purotesu Today reported on some pending GLEAT departures at the end of the year, the promotion announced more on their website, and they’re major…

First up, after rampant rumors about his status, CIMA is leaving the promotion on 12/31. Contract expiring and they couldn’t agree on an extension. CIMA will continue to appear as a freelancer and will appear on at least 6 events next year to make up for the events he missed these last 2 months due to injury after his potential departure was revealed in November.

Second, Ryo Aitaka is also leaving the promotion. Contract expiring. He will continue to compete as a freelancer, including in GLEAT, and also plans to focus more on work as an actor.

Also departing is Commissioner Masato Yoshino, who is retiring on 12/31 when his contract expires. He and CIMA have been with the promotion since the beginning after leaving Dragon Gate (Yoshino had already retired as a wrestler due to injuries). The position will not be filled.

Finally, Executive Director Kiyoshi Tamura will also retire on 12/31 at the end of his contract. No plans for a replacement.

Aitaka’s last match will be on 12/30, a Lidet UWF Single Bout vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima. All except Aitaka had been with GLEAT since the promotion was formed.

Not yet announced-clarification on the promotion’s YouTube plans. If you missed it before, they will terminate their paid channel membership program in one week.

UPDATE: The promotion also announced the plans for YouTube with the paid membership ending: EVERYTHING in 2026 including all events except non-televised/recorded house shows will be available FOR FREE! What’s not yet clear is what will happen to everything that was paywalled this year. Guess we’ll find out in about a week.

UPDATE 2: The 12/30 event will be LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. May be a slight delay for on demand afterwards.

NEWS: GLEAT Discontinuing YouTube?

In their latest news post today, GLEAT announced that, effective December 29, they will be ending the membership aka paid channel subscription offering on YouTube. While it cost around 900 yen in Japan, it was priced higher outside Japan-in the US where this site’s administrator is located, they charged $8.99/month instead of what should have been closer to $6-7. The membership started at the beginning of this year and all live & on demand event broadcasts (most events but they also do some non-broadcasted events) were moved behind the paywall, and they promised additional members-only content. Anyone who already paid for this month’s subscription will get a full refund. Anything uploaded prior to 2025 is still available without paying.

Future plans for the channel will be announced on social media at a later date.

Injury Report: Brass To Glass Isn’t GLEAT

Ouch, these bad GLEAT injury reports and puns sometimes…maybe having them means you can hit harder but not take them or the old “glass jaw” philosophy as after yesterday’s event the promotion announced that Brass Knuckles JUN won’t be using them, or anything else, in the ring for a while. Broken jaw. Out indefinitely. Presumably it happened in the 3-way for the vacant G-RUSH Championship. The report says a follow-up on a return date would be announced when he knows more, I imagine it’ll be at least a couple months.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Injury Report-After the event it was announced that Brass Knuckles JUN was apparently injured during the event. Broken jaw. This from JUN himself. Out indefinitely pending further updates

Injury Report: So Much For Those GLEAT Plans

There were reports in GLEAT lately about VINA leaving the promotion recently but staying until the end of the year while potential contract extension talks took place, but those were subject to change due to injury among other things. That unfortunately just happened. Multiple left shoulder and left biceps issues. Out indefinitely but surgery is needed so it may be a long time. As a result, the G INFINITY Championship he held with Kuroshio TOKYO Japan is now VACANT. Future title plans TBA.

More as it becomes available.

The next event is tomorrow at Sayama City Citizen Exchange Center in Saitama. It’s billed as a house show which probably means no live or on demand broadcast.

Injury Report: Izuchi apparently took enough physical punishment on the MMA fight to send him to the sidelined to recover. Out at least 2 weeks. Further decisions on his status will be made after the 11/16 event.

Injury Report-A No Go Is Not GLEAT

There’s more than one Go in puroresu so I can keep the bad puns going…that aside, the newd is bad as GLEAT wrestler Go Miyake is indeed a No Go for action for now. Fractured left mandible. Out indefinitely but will be a while. Changes to Monday’s event are pending.
