KING OF DDT
The King Of DDT is a yearly single elimination tournament that was first introduced in 2004 to determine the strongest wrestler in DDT. After the 2005 edition, DDT would not produce a similar sized tournament until 2009 when a contender for the KO-D Openweight Title was needed for the company’s first show in Sumo Hall. Since then the prize for winning King Of DDT has always included a KO-D Title shot at a major event held later in the year. The 2009 and 2010 versions were called KO-D Openweight Title Contendership Tournaments. It was the shows those matches were held on that were called “KING OF DDT”. It wasn’t until 2011 when the name was officially used for the tournament itself.
