The quick version
- Bishamon (YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto) beat MxM Collection (Mason Madden and Mansoor) when Goto pinned Mansoor, per NJPW.
- The main event was a six-person tag against Maki Itoh, Kazuki Hirata and CIMA. MxM Collection and a stand-in for El Desperado won a five-second first fall and then a rematch, per NJPW and POST.
- The real El Desperado, out with a back injury, did not wrestle. NJPW says he appeared at the end. Taiji Ishimori and Naruki Doi opened the show, and the two accounts disagree on whether it had a winner.
MxM Collection won twice in the main event of the GasPE Invitational on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, at Shinkiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, after losing their first match to Bishamon. The show was an offbeat card promoted by El Desperado, who was absent with a back injury.
Event
GasPE Invitational, Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, Shinkiba 1st Ring, Tokyo, Japan. Doors were at 6 PM and the first bell at 7 PM local time, per Fightful's earlier listing. It aired on NJPW World pay-per-view. Attendance and match times were not in the reports we found, except the opener's time limit.
Results
Match notes
Ishimori vs. Doi. NJPW says the two Toryumon alumni wrestled at an unpredictable pace until the 10-minute limit ran out. Ishimori went for the Bone Lock more than once. Doi countered a second try into the Doi 5, and a third try was locked in firm before Doi found a counter cradle, per NJPW. POST's account has Ishimori winning. NJPW's report is the more detailed, and it says time expired. We have not seen the match.
Bishamon vs. MxM Collection. NJPW says this was the one-match card Desperado had planned, with the retired Milano Collection AT billed as the third partner. Milano had "abruptly left for a vacation," so the match became MxM against Bishamon. After ugly spills and self-inflicted low blows, Goto got the pin.
Mi-Ranbo. To "create a new Milano," the show held a battle royal. NJPW lists nine entrants, Madden among them. Madden won, so he became his own tag partner.
The main event. The real Milano called in, furious that his character was being used, and booked a trio of Itoh, Hirata and CIMA. Starlight Kid, dressed as Desperado, hosted the show and teamed with MxM, per POST. The first fall lasted five seconds. NJPW says Itoh asked for a rematch and it was granted, and CIMA broke up one early pin. The rematch ended with the Numero Dos on Hirata. POST names Kid as the one who applied it. NJPW says the real Desperado appeared at the end to thank the crowd.
What is next
Desperado is due to face Mistico at NJPW x CMLL Lucha Kingdom on Monday, Nov. 16, in Mexico City, per Fightful's October listing. Our Lucha Kingdom card story shows that match was replaced by a tag match after his injury. His back injury and its recovery time were not detailed in the reports we saw.
