The 12/20 Inoki Genome Federation show at the Tokyo Ariake Coliseum only drew about 2,500 fans. The promotion announced 6,233 fans in the 12,000 seat arena, but fell well short of that number. The IGF advertised names like Kurt Angle, Booker T (who was replaced on the show by Kendo Kashin), Josh Barnett and Naoya Owaga for the show. The show also featured A.J. Styles, Senshi, and Chris Moore (Masters).
