GLEAT 7/1/23 Results

GLEAT ran their 2nd Anniversary event yesterday, which likely was their biggest event of the year with a mix of G PROWRESTLING and Lidet UWF matches.

Yesterday’s event was held at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 1279.

Matches 1-7 were G PROWRESTLING matches, while Matches 8-10 were Lidet UWF bouts.

Match 1: Issei Onitsuka & Yusuke Kodama beat Shigehiro Irie & Junjae. Kodama pinned Junjae with La Magistral.

Match 2: Quiet Storm, Galeno Del Mar & HANAOKA beat Emperador Azteca, El Bendito & MAZADA. Galeno pinned MAZADA with Galeno Special.

Match 3: G INFINITY Champions Jun & Rei Saito (All-Japan) beat Kaz Hayashi & Minoru Tanaka to retain the titles. Rei Saito pinned Tanaka after a diving body press. V1 for the champs.

Match 4: Michiko Miyagi, Aoi, Risa Sera & Janai Kai beat Yukari Hosokawa, Sayaka Unagi, Itsuki Aoki & Rydeen Hagane. Miyagi pinned Hosokawa after a tombstone piledriver. After the match, Miyagi announced she will be changing her ring name among other things. That will be revealed on 8/4 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.

Match 5: In a Loser Unit Dissolution Match, Ryuichi Kawakami, Hayato Tamura, Check Shimatani & KAZMA SAKAMOTO beat Tetsuya Iczichi, Jun Tonsho & Keiichi Sato.Tamura pinned Izuchi after Hayato Orchestra. As a result, 60seconds must disband. And yes, apparently it was a handicap match with an unfair advantage for Bulk Orchestra.

Match 6: GLEAT 2nd Anniversary Match: El Lindaman, Kento Miyahara (All-Japan) & Chihiro Hashimoto (Sendai Girls) beat Yutani, Flamita & Kotaro Suzuki. Lindaman pinned Yutani with a tiger suplex hold.

Match 7: G-REX Champion T-Hawk beat Soma Watanabe to retain the title. V2 for T-Hawk. Next up: Hayato Tamura. That match likely will happen on 8/4.

Match 8: Lidet UWF Single Bout: Maya Fukuda beat Azusa Inaba by KO.

Match 9: Lidet UWF Double Bout: Yu Iizuka & Ayato Yoshida vs. Shinya Aoki & Hikaru Sato went to a 20 minute time limit draw.

Main Event: Fujita “Jr.” Hayato beat Lidet UWF Champion Takanori Ito by ref stoppage to win the title. Hayato becomes the second Lidet UWF Champion.

The next event is G PROWRESTLING Ver. 56 on 7/16 at Umeda Sky Building Stellar Hall in Osaka. There will likely be no live broadcast.

Also not mentioned in results but announced for 8/4: Kota Ibushi participation. Yes, THAT Kota Ibushi (who hasn’t been seen since he unceremoniously left New Japan following an injury suffered in the 2021 G1 CLIMAX Finals). He has been reportedly linked to All Elite Wrestling but that hasn’t happened and seems very unlikely.

Injury Report: No Bandido Spree Anytime Soon

According to reports from US news sites, which now has been confirmed by GLEAT because it affects their 7/1 event, All Elite Wrestling/Ring Of Honor star Bandido has seen his high-flying spree come to an end for now. Triangular fibrocartillage complex injury aka broken wrist. X-rays Bandido posted on Instagram show it appears to be where the wrist connects to the hand near the pinky finger. Out indefinitely and may need surgery, but he is now off GLEAT’s 7/1 TDC Hall event. The injury happened Wednesday during the AEW Rampage taping after AEW Dynamite in his match against Konosuke Takeshita. It’s not known how long he will be out but he should know more later today.

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: Not GLEAT News For One

Bad wordplay aside, GLEAT did announce an injury absence this morning-Kaito Ishida is now off the next 3 events including tonight and the major 7/1 TDC Hall event. Radial shaft and ulnar styloid fractures. In simpler terms, wrist & forearm. Out indefinitely. A quick internet search of these indicates the former usually requires surgery so 2 weeks could turn into months. Changes to the cards are forthcoming.

More as it becomes available.

GLEAT 6/7/23 Results

Ahead of their major anniversary event in July, GLEAT held a major event dubbed GLEAT Ver. EX today to begin setting the stage for that event and more to come.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hal in Tokyo and can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube. The video is also available in this post:

The announced paid attendance was 732.

Pre-show match: Issei Onitsuka & Yusuke Kodama beat Yu Iizuka & Yuya Susumu. Kodama pinned Iizuka after Mad Splash.

Match 1: Yutani, Emperador Azteca & Kotaro Suzuki beat Jun Tonsho, Keiichi Sato & Oji Shiiba. Suzuki pinned Sato after a tiger driver.

Match 2: Kaz Hayashi & Minoru Tanaka beat T-Hawk & El Lindaman. Tanaka pinned Lindaman after Minoru Special.

Match 3: Atsuki Aoki & Rydeen Hagane beat Yukari Hosokawa & Sayaka Unagi. Aoki pinned Hosokawa after a frog splash. Afterwards, Michiko Miyagi made a surprise appearance, her first since being forced to leave GLEAT after losing to Unagi earlier this year despite efforts to keep her onboard, but Miyagi refused. She wants Unagi again. As a result, an 8-woman tag match of Unagi, Aoki, Hagane & Hosokawa vs. Miyagi and presumably 3 TBAs had been made for 7/1 at Tokyo Dome City Hall.

Match 4: Soma Watanabe beat Tetsuya Izuchi. As a result, Watanabe gets the next G-REX Championship match against current champion T-Hawk.

Match 5: Kaito Ishida, Flamita, Hartley Jackson & Bandido beat Ryuichi Kawakami, KAZMA SAKAMOTO, Quiet Storm & Galeno Del Mar. Ishida pinned SAKAMOTO with a small package hold. Afterwards, Ishida demanded a match between Bulk Orchestra and 60seconds where the losing faction must disband. Agreed to by Commissioner Masato Yoshino. That match will happen on 7/1.

A promised major announcement by CIMA was made…on 8/4, GLEAT makes their Ryogoku Kokugikan debut!

Match 6: Jun & Rei Saito (All-Japan) beat G-INFINITY Champions Hayato Tamura & Check Shimatani to win the titles. The Saitos become the 3rd G-INFINITY Champions. Rei Saito pinned Shimatani after a diving body press. Next up: Hayashi & Tanaka. That match will happen on 7/1.

Main Event: Lidet UWF Championship Tournament Finals: Takanori Ito beat Shinya Aoki by TKO (10 count down) to win the tournament and the title and become the inaugural Lidet UWF Champion. And immediately the first challenger appeared…Fujita “Jr.” Hayato. That match will happen on 7/1.

The next event is 6/17 at Umeda Sky Building Stellar Hall in Osaka for G PROWRESTLING Ver. 54. Since it’s Osaka there likely will be no live broadcast but it should be available on YouTube 2-3 days after the event.
