DNA, an experimental group under DDT’s banner that consisted of newer wrestlers with great potential at the time, held a special 10th Anniversary event today on the day of its formation (11/28/2014) featuring former members of the group. Most went on to compete elsewhere but a couple stayed in DDT, the most notable success story form the group being Yuki Ueno, but all returned for this event. DNA, by the way, in this case was short for DDT New Attitude. Also part of this group are Shunma Katsumata & Kazusada Higuchi, who are both out long term due to injuries but appeared today.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 312, a full house/near sellout.
