Background
[edit]Following the success of the 2006 Indy Summit, Taka Michinoku, who was in charge of the event, created the Pro-Wrestling Summit Committee to hold more joint shows. Summits were held in Osaka, Ariake and eventually at Korakuen Hall on New Year's Eve, thus continuing the tradition of the December 31 Korakuen Hall Show. The event was broadcast on Samurai! TV and Gaora.
Storylines
[edit]The Pro-Wrestling Summit in Korakuen featured nine professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
