The Weekly Pro Wrestling Tokyo Dome Show, often referred to as Bridge of Dreams (Japanese: 夢の架け橋～憧夢春爛漫～), was a multi-promotional professional wrestling and mixed martial arts event hosted by Japanese wrestling magazine, Weekly Pro Wrestling. The event took place on April 2, 1995 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.[2][3]

## Event details

[edit]

The Bridge of Dreams event was a multi-promotional wrestling event organized by the Weekly Pro Wrestling magazine. According to American wrestling journalist Dave 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's WAR promotion notably did not take part in the event as they had a previously planned event the same day at Korakuen 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.
