Judgement (審判～JUDGEMENT～, Shinpan Jajimento), also known as DDT Pre-Launching Battle Judgement (DDTプレ旗揚げ戦 Judgement, DDT pure hataage-sen jajjimento),[1] and sequentially as Judgement 1, was a professional wrestling event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). It took place on March 25, 1997, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Hibiya Radio City. It was the first event hosted by DDT and the first instalment of the Judgement series that would go on to serve as DDT's anniversary event.
Storylines
Judgement featured four professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. 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.[2]
