p { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1.5em; } GLEAT "G PROWRESTLING Ver.60" Backstage Comments Minoru Tanaka: "Yukio Sakaguchi was a tough fighter. That's what I need -- tough fighters. Line them up. I will strike them all down and carve my path to the LIDET UWF Championship. Soma Watanabe, it seems you have the same goal and wanted to call me out by using my move. You're more than welcome to be the next to lose to me." Soma Watanabe: "It seems Minoru Tanaka received my message. We have the same goal, but only one of us can reach it first. I'll be your next challenge, but don't plan on winning." Fuminori Abe: "Astronauts were successful in our first bout affiliated with GLEAT! Yan's Family tried, but they couldn't soar as high as us!" Takuya Nomura: "Ito! It seemed like you wanted to step up and fight. I'll fight you one on one, any place, any time!" Hayato Tamura: "Black Generation International... you bastards tried attacking us early... you tried to take Wagner's mask... and you still lost. You're no match for BULK Orchestra!" Galeno del Mal: "My brother! These Black Generation scumbags have tried to take both of our masks. Tonight's victory doesn't end things. This doesn't end until we destroy them." El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.: "I'll fight alongside BULK Orchestra anytime. Black Generation International fights without honor. It will be my pleasure to help end them." Kaito Ishida: "Dammit..." Flamita: "The win was ours until Tamura had to go and ruin it!" Kaito Ishida: "Flamita, is your secret weapon still on stand by?" Flamita: "Always." Kaito Ishida: "Excellent. BULK Orchestra will pay." Eita: "Jun Tonsho... the kid definitely has potential. Hopefully he learns to harness it instead of being a loser all the time." Un MICHIKO and Unagi Sayaka brawl into the backstage press area until they are finally broken up by staff. Before they are both escorted away from the press area, cameras catch a challenge shouted from Unagi to MICHIKO... Unagi Sayaka: "MICHIKO!! LET'S END THIS!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH!!" MICHIKO: "I ACCEPT!! YOU'VE SEALED YOUR FATE!!" Hikaru Sato: "I enjoyed doing battle with Suzuki-san once again. I look forward to doing battle with Fujita Hayato next. It's been 10 years since we last met in combat... but never has it been a singles bout. Prepare yourself, Hayato-san." Minoru Suzuki: "Damn... Well if anyone was going to beat me, at least it's my own student. Sato, you better win. Don't let me down, or I'll hunt you down you bastard. I had a GLEAT time fighting here. This won't be the last time you see me in GLEAT." Koji Doi: "Hey! We weren't even pinned! Give us another shot, eh?" Kuma Arashi: "Ugh... Quiet Storm landed right on my head... I need a drink..." Koji Doi: "Let's drink to numb the pain of loss... and of a large man landing on your head... then tomorrow we train and prepare to become G-INFINITY Champions!" Kuma Arashi: "As long as we're not hung over, sure..." El Lindaman: "I tried my best, but Ibushi won... T-Hawk is gonna be pissed..." Kota Ibushi: "I decided to join GLEAT because of the impressive group of talent they've assembled and continue to assemble. It wasn't easy, but I've now defeated both of the former G-REX Champions. El Lindaman -- your fighting spirit is strong. Keep it that way. It was an honor to fight you and I look forward to the next time we meet. T-Hawk -- I think my appearance after your match made my intentions clear. I know you don't want me here. Here's your chance to get rid of me. I'll see you soon." T-Hawk: "Ibushi! You want to fight the ace of GLEAT? So be it. I'll show everyone why GLEAT doesn't need you. President Suzuki made a mistake throwing this company's money at you. He should've let one of those other companies have you. You're past your prime. You may have once been the Golden Star, but all I see is a star that is burning out, soon to be nothing but a fond memory to the fans of this sport."

p { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1.5em; } GLEAT "G PROWRESTLING Ver.60" September 27, 2023 Korakuen Hall in Tokyo Kizuna Tanaka, Maya Fukuda, Yukari Hosokawa vs. Chi Chi, Sunny, ZONES The bonus dark match pitting GLEAT's young female talent against Evolution Girls kicked things off. This match was a fairly standard opening trios bout. Both teams were evenly matched until things broke down and, in the fallout, Yukari Hosokawa picked up the victory for her team after planting Sunny with a Fisherman Buster! Winners: Kizuna Tanaka, Maya Fukuda, Yukari Hosokawa UWF Rules Minoru Tanaka vs. Yukio Sakaguchi The opening bout of the main card was a clash between anti-aging warriors! Minoru Tanaka who will turn 51 in November and Yukio Sakaguchi who turned 50 in July both had the type of high-octane performance you'd expect from men half their age! With his 30th anniversary as a professional wrestler approaching, Minoru Tanaka has made it clear he wants to enter 2024 with championship gold and that determination was clear through this bout. Sakaguchi was no pushover though, managing to knock Minoru down to just a single remaining point... but it was Minoru Tanaka who emerged victorious when he submitted Sakaguchi with the Minoru Special! Winner: Minoru Tanaka UWF Rules Soma Watanabe vs. Tyson Maeguchi Watanabe had a huge challenge ahead of him if he wanted to continue to prove himself worthy of a shot at the LIDET UWF Championship. That obstacle was the hard-hitting Tyson Maeguchi. Maeguchi's lethal offense gave him the advantage early on as Watanabe struggled to counter his educated strikes. Watanabe ended the match in similar fashion to the previous bout, utilizing the Minoru Special to submit Maeguchi! It seems the young fighter is sending a message to Minoru Tanaka! Winner: Soma Watanabe Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura vs. Issei Onitsuka & Takanori Ito Astronauts came in hot for their first match as GLEAT affiliated fighters. The Yan's Family was well represented by Issei Onitsuka and Takanori Ito who looked to hand the popular team a defeat, while also picking up a much-needed win as their faction has been in a bit of a slump. Nomura and Ito started the match and had an intense strike-heavy clash early on, which included a vicious kick from Nomura right to the bridge of Ito's nose! When Onitsuka and Abe were tagged in they had a more fast-paced grapple exchange, both looking to gain the upper hand for their team. Things remained pretty even throughout this bout, but ultimately Nomura picked up the victory for Astronauts when he put down Onitsuka with a Dragon Suplex Hold! Winners: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura BULK Orchestra (Hayato Tamura, Galeno del Mal, Ryuichi Kawakami, Check Shimatani, "X" El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.) vs. Black Generation International (Kaito Ishida, Flamita, Hartley Jackson, El Bendito, Emperador Azteca) BULK Orchestra's mystery partner revealed to be Galeno del Mal's brother, El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.! He made his entrance wearing an intricate headdress. Right as he entered the ring and began removing it, BGI rushed in and attacked BULK Orchestra, kicking this match off with a wild brawl inside and outside of the ring! It seemed BGI was going to win as Hartley Jackson and Kaito Ishida went after Wagner's mask on the outside, distracting Galeno del Mal who came to his brother's rescue, leaving Shimatani isolated in the ring and on the receiving end of a barrage of offense that culminated with a Muscle Buster/Gordbuster from Flamita to Shimatani while Bendito and Azteca dove to the outside to take out Galeno, Kawakami and Wagner (and Kaito Ishida and Hartley Jackson as collateral damage). Flamita covered Shimatani... but Hayato Tamura broke up the pin attempt at the last possible second. Tamura dragged Shimatani to their corner and tagged in and then annihilated Flamita with a Jackhammer! And that was all she wrote... Winners: BULK Orchestra Eita vs. Jun Tonsho A fiery Jun Tonsho was out for vengeance as he faced a smug Eita in singles competition. This bout was very fast-paced with both men moving around the ring at lightning speed! Things only slowed down when Eita gouged Tonsho's eyes to gain the upper hand and worked him over with some holds. Tonsho mounted a comeback though and In the closing moments, Tonsho drove Eita into the mat with a Dragon Suplex and then positioned him near the corner of the ring. Tonsho followed that up with moonsault from the top rope, but Eita got his knees up!! He quickly rolled up Tonsho and won the match! Winner: Eita After the match, Eita extended his hand to Tonsho. Tonsho hesitated but ultimately accepted before leaving the ring as Eita watched him depart, grinning and nodding. MICHIKO vs. Unagi Sayaka MICHIKO and Unagi Sayaka had less of a match and more of a fight as their feud has reached a boiling point! They fought intensely in the ring, neither seeming to really be concerned with winning the much as much as decimating their opponent. The fight spilled to the outside of the ring after about 10 minutes of action with MICHIKO bouncing Unagi's head off of the guardrail, only to receive a receipt moments later! The brawl continued on the outside, neither competitor aware of the impending count out! The referee reached the count of 20 and called for the bell, resulting in this match being a draw! Winner: DRAW MICHIKO and Unagi either didn't hear the bell or simply didn't care as they continued to brawl, assaulting each other all the way to the backstage area! And with that, it was time for intermission... Kiyoshi Tamura appeared after the intermission to make his very important announcement! He announced that on October 15th, 2023 GLEAT will present GLEAT LIDET UWF Ver. 4... but that wasn't all... Starting with GLEAT LIDET UWF Ver. 4 there will be a LIDET UWF event monthly going forward! Kiyoshi Tamura thanked the fans for their support and took a seat at ringside for the next bout. UWF Rules/LIDET UWF Next Challenger Decision Hikaru Sato vs. Minoru Suzuki This match began with an intense stare down between student and teacher until Minoru Suzuki simply gave his signature terrifying grin and told Hikaru Sato to "bring it on" and within seconds it was a frenzy of strikes exchanged between the two hard-hitting fighters! After they were satisfied with their strikes, they transitioned into grappling. The student and teacher seemed to have a counter for just about anything the other threw at them. The match concluded as Suzuki tried to lock in the cross armbreaker, but he couldn't fully lock it in allowing Sato to make a crafty escape! Sato then blasted Suzuki with a kick that stunned him and followed up by quickly locking Suzuki into a cross armbreaker of his own in the center of the ring! Suzuki struggled as Sato continued to apply pressure, but Suzuki succumbed to the hold and tapped out! Winner: Hikaru Sato Fujita "Jr." Hayato came to the ring after the bout to face his next challenger! They stared each other down and then shook hands. G-INFINITY Championship 3-Way Match KAZMA Sakamoto & Quiet Storm (C) vs. CIMA & Shigehiro Irie vs. Kuma Arashi & Koji Doi The G-INFINITY Championships were on the line next, and the recently crowned champions were at a disadvantage as they had two pairs of challengers in this match meaning their titles could change hands even if they aren't pinned or submitted! The freelance team of Kuma Arashi and Koji Doi had the advantage early on, mostly focusing on dismantling KAZMA Sakamoto. Koji Doi nearly brought the titles to Doi-Kuma when he hit planted CIMA with a Liger Bomb and covered him, but the pin was broken up at 2 by Shigehiro Irie with a running senton! Irie tossed Doi out of the ring, but turned around into a lariat from Kuma Arashi that sent them both spilling to the outside of the ring! The champions emerged and quickly took advantage of the situation with KAZMA grabbing a groggy CIMA and planting him hard with his Kazmax side slam while Quiet Storm took out the remaining competitors on the outside with a slingshot somersault senton! KAZMA pinned CIMA and Daisan Seiryoku retained their championships! Winners: KAZMA Sakamoto & Quiet Storm Special Singles Match El Lindaman vs. Kota Ibushi The semi main event was a big-time match. Ibushi has defeated the other former G-REX Champion, Kaito Ishida. A win over El Lindaman would surely position him as T-Hawk's next challenger. El Lindaman, as a former G-REX Champion, was determined to defeat the Golden Star and hand him his first defeat in GLEAT. Despite the recent tension within STRONGHEARTS, Lindaman also knew that T-Hawk was counting on him to win this. The match was fairly evenly matched with Ibushi's size advantage only helping him very littlle due to the sheer power of El Lindaman! Ibushi and Lindaman started off by meeting face-to-face in the center of the ring and then they started absolutely blasting each other with strikes! Lindaman did show a sense of urgency, knowing who he was up against, trying to score the pinfall several times early on. After a grueling 20 minutes, Lindaman launched Ibushi with a release German suplex, but Ibushi rose right back up to his feet and grabbed Lindaman from behind and rocked him with a Dragon Suplex... with a bridge! 1... 2... not quite! El Lindaman kicked out but Ibushi was quick to his feet and just as El Lindaman got to his knees, Ibushi grabbed his wrists and blasted him with the Kamigoye! Ibushi covered... 1... 2... NO! Lindaman managed to kick out yet again! Ibushi nodded in admiration of his opponent's fighting spirit, but rose to his feet, forcing Lindaman to join him. Lindaman seemed to be barely conscious as Ibushi lifted him up and then nearly put him through the ring with an enormous Golden Star Bomb! He covered... 1... 2... 3! I Winner: Kota Ibushi Ibushi celebrated as El Lindaman was brought an ice bag. Lindaman slowly made it back to his feet. Ibushi approached his opponent and extended his hand and Lindaman accepted! Ibushi raised Lindaman's arm for his valiant effort! G-REX Championship Match T-Hawk vs. Tetsuya Izuchi T-Hawk wanted to end this quickly, having made his opinion clear in interviews that he doesn't think Izuchi is on his level. Right out of the gate he charged and struck Izuchi with his Cerberus running knee in an attempt to secure a very quick victory, but Izuchi kicked out. That running knee strike gave him the advantage though, and he proceed to toy with Izuchi out of spite. T-Hawk's cockiness eventually left him open though and Izuchi mounted a comeback with some brutal strikes including a Spin Break spinning elbow seemingly out of nowhere that gave him a 2-count pinfall attempt on the champion. The near fall just pissed T-Hawk off more and his cockiness faded to be replaced with aggression. Izuchi was rocked with several stiff strikes that left him unsteady on his feet, but he managed to pull a stiff strike of his own out of his back pocket, nailing T-Hawk with a high kick out of desperation! Both men fell to the mat. After a few moments of inactivity, both fighters made the climb back to their feet and engaged in a strike battle in the center of the ring. The strikes slowed down as both men became dazed and then suddenly Izuchi swung with a spinning back fist but T-Hawk dodged it. Izuchi's momentum sent him stumbling forward as T-Hawk put more space between them before coming speeding forward with a Cerberus knee strike! T-Hawk probably could have ended things after that Cerberus knee, but he instead pulled Izuchi back up with a grin and then planted Izuchi with the Night Ride!! T-Hawk decided that wasn't enough though and grabbed Izuchi's wrists, pulled him up to his knees and BAM!! T-Hawk blasted him with Kota Ibushi's signature Kamigoye knee strike! T-Hawk covered, and it was an easy 1, 2, 3 after that combination of moves and thus the champion retained. Winner: T-Hawk T-Hawk celebrated his win with his G-REX Championship held high, but as his music played, a challenger approached... Kota Ibushi made his way to the ring and stared down T-Hawk, gesturing at his G-REX Championship!! It seems it is only a matter of time until the G-REX Champion will clash with the Golden Star!!
