Tuesday’s event was held at City Hall & Gallery Gotanda in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on YouTube with a paid channel membership ($8.99/month outside Japan).

The announced paid attendance was 340, a legit sellout. A lot less than what they had been doing each year when they held the event previously at Tokyo Dome City Hall.

Match 2: G-RUSH Champion Issei Onitsuka beat Brass Knuckles JUN to retain the title.V2 for Onitsuka.

Match 6: G INFINITY Champions Takehiro Yamamura & Issei Onitsuka beat Tetsuya Izuchi & So Daimonji to retain the titles. Onitsuka pinned Izuchi after Soul Shooting Star Press. V2 for the champs. And for Onitsuka this day-2 title matches, 2 successful defenses. Impressive.

Main Event: Katsuhiko Nakajima beat G-REX Champion Kaito Ishida to win the title. Nakajima becomes the 7th G-REX Champion. Now a double champion in GLEAT as he also holds the Lidet UWF Championship.

The next event is 7/13 at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka. Broadcast plans TBA.

UPDATE: On 7/4 the promotion announced Onitsuka has been INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED. Suspected breach of contract. Will be out until the investigation is completed but it’s going to be a few weeks. The 7/13 card will be changed as a result and he is also suspended from fan club activities (he may be the chairman). Regarding the G INFINITY and G-RUSH Championships he holds, statuses TBA.

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: Wasteland Pom Party Pooper

This one makes me very sad…Tokyo Joshi Pro has announced that, to many fans’ dismay, Max The Impaler is now off SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25 on 7/21. Unspecified health issues. Max was to have teamed with Pom Harajuku to face Raku & Andreza Giant Panda. So no Wasteland Pom Party. Kyoko Inoue is the replacement. It’s mot known what the specific issues are keeping Max out but I hope for a speedy recovery.

DEVELOPING: Another Major Stardom Departure (Updated)

At least temporarily, but it’s huge nonetheless…Stardom has announced that Syuri will be leaving the promotion indefinitely after the 7/6 event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Not injury-related but a translation of her comments from Stardom’s Japanese website suggest she’s going to go overseas for training because she wants to reclaim the IWGP Women’s Championship, which she recently lost to Sareee. I can’t help but think this could mean All Elite Wrestling but we’ll see. It’s not known how long she will be gone but definitely will be at least 1-2 months because she is now out of the upcoming 5STAR GP. Although one has to wonder, is that title cursed? Everyone that’s held it before left Stardom almost as soon as they lost it (KAIRI went to WWE, Mercedes Mone went to AEW but did come back, albeit to New Japan though, Mayu Iwatani went to Marigold, now Syuri is leaving temporarily).

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Syuri’s final match on 7/6 before leaving will be against Ranna Yagami. Syuri also indicated she will be back in Stardom at some point.
