Production

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. After two Pro-Wrestling Summits in 2007 and 2008, and the special edition of Tenka Sanbun no Kei in 2009, the New Year's Eve Pro-Wrestling brand returned in 2010, this time with the addition of Ice Ribbon and Pro Wrestling Freedoms as the main producers.

Storylines

The show featured sixteen professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
