Professional wrestling pay-per-view event series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Audience was a recurring professional wrestling event held by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) in spring. Originally held by DDT as an independent promotion between 2003 and 2018, it was then held by CyberFight as DDT-branded events. The first of these was a tour of smaller events outside of Tokyo in May 2021, followed by one final main edition in 2022.

History
Between 2003 and 2018, Audience was produced by DDT Pro-Wrestling, an independent promotion founded in 1997 by Shintaro Muto and Pro Wrestling Crusaders alumni Kyohei Mikami, Kazushige Nosawa and Sanshiro Takagi.[1] The event was held in spring. In 2020, DDT and its subsidiaries merged with Pro Wrestling Noah into a new company called CyberFight owned by the digital advertising company CyberAgent, with DDT and Noah persisting as separate brands under the CyberFight umbrella.[2] The Audience name was then used in May 2021 for a tour of smaller events held in Hamamatsu, Fukuoka and Kumamoto.[3] Finally, it was used for one last edition in 2022.
