Background
In February 2012, it was announced that the 2012 edition of DDT4 would be held on April 21, 2012 at the American Legion Post #308 in Reseda, California. Storylines
The PWG World Tag Team Championship was originally scheduled to be defended in the 2012 DDT4 tournament. The original participants announced for the tournament were:

World Tag Team Champions Appetite for Destruction (Kevin Steen and Super Dragon)
The Dynasty (Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky)
Future Shock (Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly)
The Fightin' Taylor Boys (Brian Cage-Taylor and Ryan Taylor)
RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma)
Roderick Strong and Sami Callihan
Super Smash Brothers (Player Uno and Stupefied)
The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson)

However, on April 4, it was announced that Dragon had fractured his heel and would be forced out of the tournament. The champions were replaced by 2 Husky Black Guys (El Generico and Willie Mack) in the tournament, which would instead be used to determine their number one contenders. Event

Quarterfinals
The quarterfinals of the DDT4 kicked off with a match between The RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma) and The Fightin' Taylor Boys (Brian Cage-Taylor and Ryan Taylor). RockNES Monsters delivered an Explosive Amnesia to Cage-Taylor for the win. Next, The Dynasty (Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky) took on Future Shock (Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly). Future Shock delivered a Ride the Lightning to Sky for the win. Next, 2 Husky Black Guys (El Generico and Willie Mack) took on Roderick Strong and the debuting Sami Callihan. Generico delivered a Brainbustahhh!!! to Strong for the win. After the match, Callihan answered Kevin Steen's open challenge and challenged Steen to a match for the PWG World Championship later in the show. It was followed by the last match in the quarterfinal between The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Super Smash Brothers (Player Uno and Stupefied). Stupefied pinned a member of The Young Bucks with a crucifix for the win. Semifinals
The semifinals of the DDT4 started with a match between RockNES Monsters and 2 Husky Black Guys. Willie Mack delivered a reverse piledriver to Johnny Yuma for the win. In the next semifinal, Super Smash Brothers took on Future Shock. Super Smash Brothers delivered a Fatality (Gory Bomb by Uno and diving somersault cutter by Stupefied combination) to Kyle O'Reilly for the win. After the match, Kevin Steen defended the PWG World Championship against Sami Callihan. Steen delivered a package piledriver to Callihan after the latter spit in Steen's face. Steen then pinned Callihan to retain the title. Final
2 Husky Black Guys took on Super Smash Brothers in the DDT4 tournament final. Stupefied countered a Brainbustahhh!!! attempt by El Generico into a reverse hurricanrana and then Super Smash Brothers delivered a Fatality to Generico to win the 2012 DDT4. Young Bucks attacked Super Smash Brothers after the match and demanded a rematch against Appetite For Destruction. Kevin Steen then chased them off and offered to give them a rematch after Super Dragon healed from his injuries. Super Smash Brothers then celebrated their win. Reception
Jake St. Pierre of 411Mania praised the event, considering it a "tremendous" show. He rated it 9.5, appreciating it "for its consistency" and felt "Future Shock/SSB is worth price of admission alone". He stated that it was "the show to get" for tag team wrestling lovers. Aftermath
Due to Super Dragon's injury, the World Tag Team Championship match between Appetite For Destruction and The Young Bucks was postponed. And, instead Young Bucks were scheduled to take on Super Smash Brothers in a no disqualification match at Death To All But Metal. The match resulted due to Young Bucks being eliminated from DDT4 by Super Smash Brothers and not reaching for the DDT4 final for the first time since 2009. It was turned into a World Tag Team Championship match after the titles were vacated due to Dragon's injury. Super Smash Brothers went on to defeat Young Bucks to win the vacant titles. Results
