Logo of the All Together events
All Together is a series of
professional wrestling events organized by
United Japan Pro-Wrestling . Initially the All Together event series was organized by
Japan 's three biggest
promotions ;
All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW),
New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and
Pro Wrestling Noah (NOA), in response to the
March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami . The first event was held in
Tokyo on August 27, 2011, and the second in
Sendai on February 19, 2012. All proceeds from the events were donated to
Japanese Red Cross . The events featured no
storylines or
championship matches, instead they were
booked as "
supercards ", putting together combinations of wrestlers from the three promotions that fans would normally not see. A third event called All Together: Again took place in Tokyo on June 9, 2023, as a memorial to NJPW founder
Antonio Inoki who had died the previous year. A fourth event took place in Tokyo on May 5, 2024, in response to the
2024 Noto earthquake and was also the first event under the
United Japan Pro-Wrestling (UJPW) banner, which comprises NJPW,
DDT Pro Wrestling (DDT),
Dragongate (DG),
Big Japan Pro-Wrestling (BJW), NOAH and
World Wonder Ring Stardom (STARDOM).
