**Judgement 2008** was a [professional wrestling](/source/Professional_wrestling) event promoted by [DDT Pro-Wrestling](/source/DDT_Pro-Wrestling) (DDT). It took place on March 9, 2008, in [Tokyo, Japan](/source/Tokyo), at the [Korakuen Hall](/source/Korakuen_Hall).[1][2] It was the twelfth event under the [Judgement](/source/DDT_Judgement) name. The event aired domestically on [Fighting TV Samurai](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIGHTING_TV_%E3%82%B5%E3%83%A0%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4).

## Storylines

Judgement 2008 featured eight [professional wrestling matches](/source/Professional_wrestling_match_types) that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and [storylines](/source/Narrative_thread). Wrestlers portrayed [villains](/source/Heel_(professional_wrestling)), [heroes](/source/Face_(professional_wrestling)), or [less distinguishable characters](/source/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#Tweener) in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]

## Event

The second match was for Muscle Sakai's personal belt, which was not a championship recognized by DDT. The match could be won by taking the belt off Sakai's waist.

Next, [Gentaro](/source/Gentaro_(wrestler)) acted as the [special guest referee](/source/Special_guest_referee) for a match between [Michael Nakazawa](/source/Michael_Nakazawa) and Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Nakazawa quickly went for a [spear](/source/Professional_wrestling_strikes#Spear) but Matsunaga dodged the attack and Nakazawa hit Gentaro instead which caused Nakazawa's disqualification in just 21 seconds after the bell. Gentaro then accepted Nakazawa's request for a rematch.

After the defeat of [Kota Ibushi](/source/Kota_Ibushi)'s team in the sixth match, Danshoku Dino took advantage of the fact that Ibushi was asleep backstage to pin him in order to become the new [Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion](/source/Ironman_Heavymetalweight_Champion).

Next was an [eight-man tag team match](/source/Eight-man_tag_team_match) dubbed "DDT 11th Anniversary Memorial Match" that saw the return of [Mikami](/source/Kyohei_Mikami).
