Production

Background

The tradition of holding a joint event for smaller promotions on New Year's Eve at Korakuen Hall started with the 2006 Indy Summit. In 2009, the brand was created for the event.

2012 marked DDT Pro-Wrestling's 15th anniversary, Kaientai Dojo's 10th anniversary and Korakuen Hall's 50th anniversary. With Big Japan Pro Wrestling's 18 years of existence, this added up to 93 years, so promotions that were roughly 7 years old were invited to celebrate "Pro-Wrestling's 100th anniversary".[3] The event also celebrated Shiori Asahi's 10th anniversary as a professional wrestler, which was mentioned in the event subtitle referencing Yasuo Baba's 1991 film .[4]

There were fifteen participating promotions and brands at the event:

Storylines

The show featured thirteen professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[5] Five non-wrestling contests were also held including judo matches, a quiz and a karaoke challenge.
