The Bridge of Dreams event was amulti-promotional wrestling event organized by the Weekly Pro Wrestling magazine. According to American wrestling journalistDave Meltzer,[4] the event was only initially supposed to feature the participation of 8 promotions. However, due to increased interest, 13 professional wrestling and mixed martial arts promotions from Japan took part in the event.[5]Genichiro Tenryu'sWAR promotion notably did not take part in the event as they had a previously planned event the same day atKorakuen Hall. Weekly Gong, another Japanese wrestling magazine, did not cover Bridge of Dreams, opting instead to cover WAR's event, leading that event to be nicknamed "The Anti-Dream Bridge".Tokyo Sports reported on the event, but did not mention that it was hosted by Weekly Pro Wrestling. Baseball Sha Magazine, a mainstream sports magazine that is the sister company of Weekly Pro Wrestling,[6] briefly covered the event.
The event was not released officially on video due to issues with the companies involved, with only unofficial recordings of the event existing.
