Constant bad puns aside, GLEAT continues to get hit hard by constant injuries the last few months, today they reported Yu Iizuka is the latest casualty. Zygomatic fracture or, in simpler medical terms, face/facial trauma/fracture. Out a long time per their release, so likely several months or more. Upcoming card changes pending.

More as it becomes available.

While it took maybe a fay longer than usual, as is always the case GLEAT has uploaded their latest full non-livestreamed event to YouTube FOR FREE! Check out last Saturday’s G PROWRESTLING Ver. 65 event below;
