New Year’s Eve in Korakuen Hall was a very busy day with many different promotions getting together to celebrate the final hours of 2012. DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO got together to celebrate the alleged 100th Anniversary of pro wrestling with Shiori Asahi and his fellow generation of wrestlers leading the way and booking the show. With two rings set up beside each other in the arena, there was plenty of space for some crazy shenanigans.
An Olympic Games style competition between the three companies took place throughout the evening with a large percentage of the box office on the line for the winning side. Not only were there points on the line in matches but other non-wrestling contests such as Judo, karaoke and a quiz were part of the competition. Unfortunately after the main event Shiori Asahi lost track of the results and a winner could not be decided. So a special bonus match took place, a sudden death Falls Count Anywhere free for all between all the wrestlers who were still in the building. Abdullah Kobayashi got the pinfall on Asahi and got to close out the show with a speech.
Hiroshi Fukuda faced a big challenge in the form of Osamu Nishimura. He used many tricks from American wrestling such as the trick handshake, the 10 Punch in the corner and using the ropes to choke his respectful opponent. However, the difference in skill and experience was far too much and Nishimura targeted Fukuda’s knee. He broke him down from there and submitted the young Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold. After that match, Nishimura told Fukuda he knew about his love of American wrestling, but the 70’s style of American wrestling that Osamu knows is more deep and interesting than the 80’s style that Fukuda obsesses over. Fukuda didn’t listen and was convinced Nishimura used magic to beat him. Fukuda thinks Nishimura is the best magician he has ever wrestled and that he himself will have to increase his MP (magic points from RPGs) to go along with his physical stength and wrestling technique.
Despite being left in a bloody state, Ryuichi Sekine said that wrestling in the Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match was a lot of fun.
Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi went into the Tag Team Gauntlet determined to win. They named their team GET MILD for the match and appeared to have won after they eliminated the dominant duo of Tommy End & Michael Dante. But a surprise came when the actual GET WILD team from All Japan made their entrance as a last minute final entry. Takao Omori & Manabu Soya quickly eliminated Takagi & Kobayashi to easily win the Gauntlet.
