GLEAT ran the latest G PROWRESTLING event yesterday, the 50th event for the promotion’s primary event series.
Yesterday’s event was held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and will be available on demand on YouTube tomorrow beginning at 4:30 AM PT/7:30 AM ET. There was no live broadcast.

Match 2: Kaho Matsushita beat Yukari Hosokawa.
Match 3: Kaz Hayashi, Minoru Tanaka & Seiichi Ikemoto beat Takanori Ito, Masato Kamino & Yusuke Kodama. Hayashi pinned Kodama. Afterwards, Issei Onitsuka came out to recruit Hayashi for his faction. Apparently whether it happens will be determined by a single match on 5/21.
Match 4: Kotaro Suzuki beat Keiichi Sato.
Match 5: Osma Watanabe beat Drew Parker by ref stoppage. Parker injury.
Match 6: Kaito Ishida, Yutani & Hartley Jackson beat Hayato Tamura, Check Shimatani & Quiet Storm. Yutani pinned Storm with Tornado Clutch.

Impromptu Match: Check Shimatani beat Issei Onitsuka, Jun Tonsho, Yu Iizuka, Masato Kamino & Yutani in a 6-way by pinning Onitsuka. As a result, Shimatani gets the 5/14 title shot. Then Shimatani announced a G INFINITY Championship match for 5/21, with Izuchi & Tonsho potential challengers.
The next event is 5/6 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Broadcast plans TBA but since it’s in Tokyo it likely will be a live broadcast on YouTube and available on demand immediately after the event. If live, the broadcast will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.
GLEAT runs a special event today where the winner of a mini-tournament they held last month got to produce the event…because the BLACK GENERATION INTERNATIONAL faction won, they’re in charge today and the event has been dubbed “Puro Negro” (Pure Black). Because of this, they’ve also added a special stip to all matches except the one single match today-“no touch rules” like in Lucha Libre, meaning whenever a wrestler leaves the ring for any reason, whether or not under their own power, it counts as a tag and another teammate can enter the match. 7 matches have been announced including a title match for a promotion called BIG LUCHA. There was a last-minute change to the card because Michiko Miyagi was originally announced for the event, but following her loss to Sayaka Unagi earlier in the week where the stip was Miyagi must leave GLEAT if she lost, she is now off despite efforts being made to keep her around. She was to have been in a tag match. Yu Iizuka is the replacement.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. Click below to watch (courtesy of GLEAT Official YouTube channel. Video will not be available until the event starts):
It’s not known if there will be any commentary. It’s also not known what the time limits are so it’s hard to predict a running time for the event but I anticipate it’ll run in the neighborhood of 2-2 1/2 hours.
Today’s current lineup: Takanori Ito, Masato Kamino & Yusuke Kodama vs. Kaz Hayashi, Minoru Tanaka & Jun Tonsho Ryuichi Kawakami & KAZMA SAKAMOTO vs. Issei Onitsuka & Yu Iizuka Hartley Jackson & Action Jackson vs. Quiet Storm & Andruew Tang Yutani vs. MAZADA Kotaro Suzuki & El Bendito vs. Check Shimatani & Galeno Del Mal BIG LUCHA World Champion Emperador Azteca vs. Soma Watanabe for the title Kaito Ishida, Flamita & Elemental vs. El Lindaman, Hayato Tamura & Tetsuya Izuchi

Quick reload of YouTube and…opening video plays, an edit of the G PROWRESTLING intro video. Today it focuses on BLACK GENERATION INTERNATIONAL as this is their event. Afterwards…
We are LIVE from Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary. The entire BGI faction is in the ring with microphone. Everyone gets to do their intros, mostly in Japanese, some in Spanish.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Hard to tell with the lighting but it so far looks and sounds quite full. Depending on the seating layout it likely will be between 300-400, possibly close to 500 if it’s a sellout.
