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 Tenka Sanbun no Kei: Ōmisoka New Year's Eve Special 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". 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 . There were fifteen participating promotions and brands at the event:

All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW)
Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW)
