GLEAT G PROWRESTLING Ver. 49 ~ Invader 4/12/2023

I think I've only done one other GLEAT show. I'm just not that interested in their general roster. This one had a bunch of different people on it and I always like seeing something different.

Black Generation (Action Jackson, Elemental, Emperador Azteca & Yutani) vs. 60 Seconds (Jun Tonsho, Keiichi Sato, Oji Shiiba & Tetsuya Izuchi)
 

I'm not familiar at all with 60 Seconds, just to let you know. Expect some mess-ups there.

Izuchi and Action start us off with shoulderblocks. Action wins that battle then Izuchi hits satellite headscissors. Action rolls him up for 2 then is rolled up. They end up having a stand off. Elemental gets in with Oji. Oji springboard armdrags him then goes up and over, backflips and step up enzugiri's him. Oji fights a 1v4 then takes a double slam and a 4 person basement dropkick.

Elemental takes sliding dropkicks and a sandwich PK. Oji step up enzugiri's Elemental then Elemental suplexes him. Azteca gets in and hits clotheslines and a superkick on Oji for 2. Azteca bangs both of Ohi's knees in the mat then Yutani gets in. Yutani slams Oji then slingshots into a small back kick. Oji chest slaps him and has his eyes raked.

Oji does a nice tilt-a-whirl headscissors and a dropkick on Elemental. Tonsho dropkicks Action then ddt's Azteca. Elemental takes a ddt and a brainbuster. Tonsho is popped up and Azteca spinkicks him in the face. Azteca takes corner moves then is lifted for a double bulldog then a top rope Sato splash.

Elemental alley oops Sato into an Action top rope dropkick. Sato is put in under the top rope and dropkicked. Yutai fosbury flops his opponents outside then Action uses the 2nd rope connector to flip on his opponents. Elemental walks up the ropes and does a blind corkscrew. Azteca hits a nasty reverse torture rack into a twisting driver and wins it.

This was too short for how many people they had. It's a real shame too. They only had 9 minutes and two people maybe got one move in at maximum. This was fast paced and I did like what we got.

Issei Onitsuka & Soma Watanabe vs. Black Generation International (Hartley Jackson & Kotaro Suzuki)

Issei and Kotaro go outside. Soma and Issei double team Jackson then Jackson is pulled out. Soma does a nice tope con hilo on both opponents. Issei tries to backdrop Jackson but can't then he top rope crossbodies him. He gets caught and is slammed. Jackson pounds on Issei then Kotaro tilt-a-whirl backbreakers Issei. He then stretches his neck and leg at the same time.

Hartley chops Issei and suplexes him for 2. Issei and Kotaro trade shots then Issei uranages him. Soma hurricanrana's Kotaro and knocks Jackson off the apron. Issei spears Kotaru then Soma top rope dropkicks Kotaro. Issie top rope elbows Kotaro for 2. Issei rolls up Kotaro then Kotaro handspring elbows him. Jackson splashes Issei in the corners then hits a big lariat.

Jackson slams Issei then misses a senton and is rolled up. Soma dropkicks Jackson into an Issei backdrop. Issei goes for a hurricanrana but has it blocked and is sit out powerbombed. Jackson then piledrives Issei for the win.

This wasn't super special and mostly revolved around Issei getting destroyed by Jackson.

BULK Orchestra (Galeno Del Mal, KAZMA SAKAMOTO, Quiet Storm & Ryuichi Kawakami) vs. Coelacanths (Kaz Hayashi & Minoru Tanaka), El Lindaman & Violento Jack

Kaz's team are attacked at the start and people go outside to fight. Kawakami grabs Tanaka and chops him in the stands. Tanaka falls into a seat. Back in the ring and Kawakami is stomped by 4 guys. Tanaka spin kicks him in the gut and is grabbed by Kazma on the ropes. Tanaka takes running lariats then a variety of legdrops and splashes from his opponents. Kazma gets on GDM's back and both splash Tanaka. GDM stands on Tanaka then Kazma gets on his back.

GDM holds Tanaka for a Kawakami chop. Tanaka 2nd rope dropkicks Kawakami and tags out to Jack. Jack back enzugiri's Kazma then Kaz and Jack avoid a double team. Jack goes up top and hits a swanton on Kazma for 2. Kazma kicks him in the knee then superkicks him. GDM gets in then he hits a nice headscissors on Jack. GDM takes a superkick then rolls Jack into a knee. Jack spinebusters and elbow drops GDM then Linda top rope dropkicks GDM. Linda hits a nice delayed german on GDM. Everyone gets in the ring then GDM top rope crossbodies all of his opponents at once.

Kawakami backdrops Linda for 2 then Linda deadlift germans Kawakami. Linda hits another big german and picks up the win.

This was a fun tag match. Galeno del Mal was the highlight here and this guy is really starting to go places. He's so unique as the fat luchador and he's really agile for his weight. Like the opener, they didn't get the most of everyone here as it was not long enough, but I still liked it. 

Michiko Miyagi vs. Unagi Sayaka

Miyagi used to be in Stardom, so this has a little bit more to it as Unagi is with Stardom now. They hold each other and hit forearm flurries. Miyagi goes out and Unagi follows. Unagi pounds on her on the floor then is whipped into the post. Miyagi then takes a tombstone on the mat outside.

Miyagi hits a bunch of strikes as Unagi gets in then slams her. Miyagi bridges her on the top rope then twisting neckbreakers her. Unagi rolls out, Miyagi goes to get her then takes a flatliner on the floor. Unaga does some weird arm ddt move. They trade forearms on their knees then get up and Miyagi forearm flurries her. Miyagi is put on the 2nd rope and codebreakered then she facekicks Unagi. They try to facekick eac hother at the same time but Miyagi hits first.

Miyagi does a ki krusher on Unagi for 2. Miyagi tombstones her for 1. The ref is knocked over but stays awake then Unagi hits a blade runner on Miyagi. Unagi does a goliath bird eater into a driver and wins it.

I didn't like the tombstone on the floor not meaning that much but it was an interesting and decent match. They showed some hate here and Miyagi was crying after. I feel like they didn't really achieve what they were going for here and I'm not sure what that was.

They talk on the mic after and thanks to the magic of youtube translations we can understand it. Miyagi said she wants Unagi to wrestle here more and said she brought out words she hadn't said before. Unagi said she felt that Miyagi really loved wrestling. Miyagi said to let her keep her promises and then Yukari Hosokawa wouldn't let her go. Hosokawa said she has to go her own path forward and said she wanted another singles match with Unagi and Unagi agreed.

G-INFINITY Title Match - BULK Orchestra (Check Shimatani & Hayato Tamura) (c) vs. Black Generation (El Bendito & Flamita)

Flamita and Check lock up. Check clean breaks then takes a hard chest slap. Flamita headflips out of an armlock, armdrags him then is armdragged.

Bendito rolls into a cutter on Tamura then Check poisonrana's him. Tamura lariats Bendito then Bendito takes a top rope lariat + chokeslam combo. Tamura lariats Bendito then muscle busters him for the win.

People made a big deal out of El Bendito supposedly, but I didn't really see it aside from one spot. He's a tall, lanky and awkward lucha guy and had a lot of rough moments here. The match was okay, but it went longer than it needed to and wasn't that great.

G-REX Title Match - Kaito Ishida (c) vs. T-Hawk 

T shoulders him over and they dodge each others shots. T hiptosses Kaito then slaps him and rolls him into an stf variation. T hits a stiff chop on Kaito then stomps the back of his head. They trade forearms and Kaito goes down. Kaito is popped up into the apron outside, takes a chop and blocks T's dive. Kaito kicks T in the back and stomps him hard.

Kaito bussaw kicks him then T hits a stiff forearm. T then does a reverse razor's edge sitout slam. T knees him in the face then does another reverse razor's edge sitout slam and wins it.

I really wanted to like this and I did at times, but the no selling was some of the worst I've ever seen. There were at least 6 big moves that were no sold here and that really hurt it. They were super stiff with each other here and they did a great job showing hate. The match went a litte too long but the no selling just killed it.

Overall thoughts: I skipped the two UWF matches. The show was good overall. It wasn't perfect and the main had real potential to be a top match this year but the no selling hurt it. It was nice to see some different names on this one and I enjoyed it.
