GLEAT ran their latest G PROWRESTLING event yesterday in Nagoya.

Yesterday’s event was held at Nagoya Diamond Hall in Nagoya and should be available on demand on YouTube at a later date. There was no live broadcast. Note that to watch it on demand you now will have to get a paid subscription to their YT channel, which currently costs $8.99/month. Otherwise you probably will only be able to watch content uploaded prior to the 12/30/24 event.

The announced paid attendance was 351. I don’t know if this is accurate because it also incorrectly lists Shinjuku Face in Tokyo as the venue.

Match 1: El Lindaman, CIMA & Gamma beat Takanori Ito, Issei Onitsuka & Tomoaki Honma (New Japan). Lindaman beat Onitsuka with an avalanche armbar.

Match 2: Kaito Ishida, Tetsuya Izuchi, Kotaro Suzuki & So Daimonji beat Takehiro Yamamura, Joe Landau, MICHIKO & Chris Ridgeway. Ishida pinned Yamamura with a half tiger suplex hold.

Match 3: T-Hawk & Ryo Aitaka beat Chris Weiss & Brass Knuckles JUN. T-Hawk pinned JUN with Samson Clutch.

Match 4: Ryuichi Kawakami & Rock Iwasaki beat Hayato Tamura & KAZMA SAKAMOTO. Kawakami pinned Tamura after Thunder Fire Bomb.

Match 5: NOBU SAN, SBK & TAKUMA beat Soma Watanabe, Junjie & JD Lee. SBK pinned Lee after SB Shooter.

Main Event: Lidet UWF Single Bout: Lidet UWF Champion Katsuhiko Nakajima beat Minoru Tanaka by TKO to retain the title. V3 for Nakajima. Next up: Possibly Lindaman.

The next event is 2/3 at Sayama City Civic Exchange Center in Saitama. There will be no live broadcast.

In other news, Hayato Tamura is now taking an indefinite hiatus from the promotion. This appears to be due to unspecified medical issues. It’s not yet known how long he may be out.

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 paid attendance has not yet been announced. (1/4/25 UDPATE: The announced paid attendance was 1045)

Match 1: Takanori Ito, Kumaarashi & Issei Onitsuka beat Mr. Iguana, JD Lee & Junjie.

Match 2: So Daimonji & Hartley Jackson beat Tomoaki Honma (New Japan) & Ryo Aitaka.

Main Event: Soma Watanabe beat G-REX Champion Hayato Tamura to win the title. Watanabe becomes the 5th G-REX Champion. Tamura’s record reign ends at precisely one year.

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.

GLEAT ran their latest G PROWRESTLING event yesterday in Osaka, the last Osaka event of the year which also featured a new concept experiment.

Yesterday’s event was held at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka and will be available on demand on YouTube Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 267.

Match 1: MICHIKO, Magbitude Kishiwada & Seiichi Ikemoto beat Maho Blanca, Minoru Tanaka & Gamma. MICHIKO pinned Gamma after Masada Drop. Tanaka was a late replacement for the absent CIMA (fever).

Matches 2 & 3 were G-RUSH Matches (7 minute time limit, 2 count pinfalls and also only 2 rope escapes allowed, 3 means loss, if a time limit draw the match continues with no time limit, 1 count falls and 1 rope escape allowed).

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.

GLEAT ran their latest signature event, GLEAT Ver. 13, this past Sunday in Fukuoka, but didn’t post results until earlier today.

Sunday’s event was held at Nishitetsu Hall in Fukuoka and can be watched on demand on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 271.

Main Event: Lidet UWF Double Bout: Katsuhiko Nakajima & Yu Iizuka beat Takanori Ito & El Lindaman by TKO. Nakajima beat Ito with Northern Lights Bomb. Afterwards, Tetsuya Izuchi attacked Nakajima and demanded a Lidet UWF Championship fight. No word on when/if that will happen.

The next event is a GLEAT House Show tomorrow at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama. There will be no live or on demand broadcast (no YouTube at all this time).
Injury Report: The promotion has announced KAZMA SAKAMOTO is now off tomorrow’s event. Fever. He was apparently to have been in the main event, an 8-man tag. It appears Kumaarashi is the replacement.

It also has been announced that the next event after this, a GLEAT House Show on 12/14 in Kyoto, also will have no live or on demand broadcast on YouTube. After that is Osaka on 12/15 (Umesa Stellar Hall) so no live broadcast there, so the next live broadcast may be the major year-ender on 12/30 at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo.
