BREAKING: GLEAT Wrestler Leaving Promotion

According to a news post from GLEAT today, Brass Knuckles JUN is apparently done with the promotion. Depending on how you interpret translation of a conversation JUN had with President Hiroyuki Suzuki at yesterday’s event, JUN either asked for it it or talked himself into being fired. It sounded like JUN was going to be traveling starting today and requested his contract be terminated and perhaps he work as a freelancer. Either way, JUN is no longer with the promotion and, based on the popularity of his TheSick faction and having a t-shirt that just went on sale, perhaps at a bad time.

I did come across a social media post from JUN after this (posted earlier today) who confirmed he has left the promotion after 4+ years and perhaps somewhat regretted how the conversation went. But he will be moving on to compete elsewhere as a freelancer for now.

GLEAT 7/2/2026 Results

GLEAT ran a house show today in Tokyo to kick off their 6th year. This is the last event before the GLEAT Ver. numbering for all events going forward begins (but the matches are still called G PROWRESTLING, Lidet UWF, etc).

Today’s event was held at Basement Monstar in Tokyo and should be available on demand on YouTube at a later date. There was bo live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 87, a legit sellout. It’s a VERY small venue. (Kobe Lapis Hall in Kobe, where Dragon Gate tapes PRIME ZONE+, is a good comparison as I think it doesn’t even hold 100 for those events)

Match 1: T-Hawk beat Jo Yamamoto by submission.

Match 2: JD Lee beat Junjie.

Match 3: Tetsuya Izuchi, SBK & Nobu San beat Keiichi Sato, Rock Iwasaki & Kohei Kinoshita Izuchi pinned Sato after Kill Zone.

Match 4: Kaito Ishida & KAZMA SAKAMOTO beat ARASHI & So Daimonji. SAKAMOTO pinned Daimonji. Afterwards, Kapy & Van Vert Jack came out after winning the next G INFINITY Championship shot yesterday and demanded a date be set for their title shot. That match will happen on 7/16.

Match 5: In a G-Rush Rules Match, Soma Watanabe beat G-Rush Champion Minoru Tanaka & Brass Knuckles JUN in a 3-way elimination match, first eliminating Tanaka then, after the time limit, eliminating JUN in overtime, to win the title. Watanabe becomes the 4th G-Rush Champion.

Main Event: El Lindaman, MICHIKO, Takanori Ito & Takehiro Yamamura beat Ryuichi Kawakami, Quiet Storm, Hayato Tamura & Kotaro Suzuki. Lindaman pinned Kawakami after a piledriver.

The next event is 7/16 at City Hall & Gallery Gotanda in Tokyo. Broadcast plans TBA

Match 1: Kapy & Van Vert Jack beat JD Lee & So Daimonji, Masami Inahata & Rukiya, Shigehiro Irie & Yuya Aoki and Keiichi Sato & Logei Kinoshita in a 5-way elimination match. As a result, Kapy & Jack will get the next G INFINITY Championship match after today.

Also, after tomorrow all events will use GLEAT Ver. numbering going forward, no more G PROWRESTLING, Lidet UWF, etc. So when that resumes later this month it will be GLEAT Ver. 26 and going from there.

UPCOMING LIVE VIDEO: GLEAT 5th Anniversary Event (7/1/2026)

There really should have been no debate about this but GLEAT played it up in recent days…at least Representative Director Hiroyuki Suzuki did. But it’s settled-tomorrow’s GLEAT 5th Anniversary event will stream LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. Save the video below and come back tomorrow at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET for the live broadcast:

It should be available on demand a few minutes after the event ends.

Results will be posted when they become available.

News: UJPW Gets GLEAT

Perfect bad pun…at a presser earlier today, United Japan Pro Wrestling aka the Japan Pro Wrestling Federation announced that GLEAT has been accepted to the group. The link about this seems to break when I try to translate it but GLEAT is listed as a supporting member, one of 3 among the 16 member promotions that include all major promotions except All-Japan Pro Wrestling and several independents. The other supporting members are Dradition & WAVE. This should open the door for more GLEAT participation in other promotions and vice versa.

GLEAT 6/1/2026 Results

GLEAT ran what I believe was the 3rd of their new YouTube-only mini events, pretaped G PROWRESTLING events held in a closed location.

Today’s event was held at an undisclosed location and can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube. (The video link was posted a couple days ago)

This was a closed event with no fans in attendance.

Match 2: Takanori Ito beat Soma Watanabe & Brass Knuckles JUN in a 3-way by pinning Watanabe.

That match will happen on 6/20.
