GLEAT Ver. MEGA October 6th 2024
By Phrederic on 14th October 2024
So we’re back with GLEAT. I swore I wasn’t going to try another show, but this card was just so nuts I had to give it a shot. We have TNA’s Rascalz here, we have Kota Ibushi, we have Parker Boudreaux, we have so many weird names on this card you can’t even believe it and I have to review it for you guys. So it’s 1000+ in Osaka for this one, but obviously who knows with GLEAT what the real numbers are or who paid for what. So this is supposed to be a big crossover show where GLEAT talent have ‘MMA’ exhibition matches with real MMA guys, I assume it’s all going to be worked. Anyway if you want to watch this utter madness, here is the link.
Issei Onitsuka, JD Lee, Jessy Queen & Junjie vs. BULK Orchestra (KAZMA SAKAMOTO & Quiet Storm) & BBB (Mirko Mori & Nico Inverardi)
Background: So Issei Onitsuka is a generic looking guy with short hair that’s a member of Yan’s Family, which I think is a pro wrestling cooking stable. JD Lee is Korean, has short bleached hair and is pretty small. Jessy Queen has a bird costume on and is apparently representing AAA here as a Mexican talent. Junjie is from Shanghai and while I swear they used to have a spear and wear facepaint, they just have tights and longish hair here. The other side are BULK Orchestra which is a stable of meaty fellows, KAZMA is Japanese and was in WWE as Lord Tensai’s goon back in the day, he has a flag and a mask and a half-shaved head. Quiet Storm is an American with long blondish hair and a beefy physique with red shorts. BBB are an Italian tag-team and it stands for Brixia Bone Breakers, Nico has shortish black hair and tattoos, Mirko has a shaved head, a beard, and tattoos.
The Match: Jessy and Storm start and I think Jessy is an Exotico. Queen does some flirting with Quiet who uh…doesn’t appreciate that. So they chop each other instead and fight over a German suplex, which is like flirting. Storm goes for a kiss and they tag out to Junjie and also the Italians head in with some quick doubles and some neat double-team dropkicks and highfalutin maneuvers. Junjie appears to be our face in peril as BULK ORCHESTRA isolate him and we get a Quiet Storm spinebuster and more chops…but Junjie gets a backdrop driver and we get Jessy and KAZMA in. Jessy takes control with armdrags and some twerking and then gets a ropewalk shimmy to set up an armdrag and in comes JD with a spinning reverse crossbody out of the corner on Quiet Storm (when did he tag in) but Face miscommunication sets up a kiss on JD as Quiet Storm ducks it, but Jessy gets a superkick anyway to put Storm outside and then a tope follows. And now we get BBB vs. Junjie and Issei with the Italians taking over with their double-teams and tag-team know-how and then they get a double tope. And then we get KAZMA and JD in the ring by themselves and KAZMA just bounces the much smaller guy around, getting a jump kick, blocking a rana with a powerbomb, and then a double-underhook piledriver gets 3.
