>Ohabri: Current government rulings state that long singing, rally songs etc are not allowed. However, counting with a referee, cheering with a catchphrase like 1,2,3 daa, or chanting for wrestlers is allowed under our guidelines.
>As rally songs are disallowed, so are chants that might be longer than, for example, the chorus of a song. Singing to the length of a wrestler's entrance would be disallowed. But with chants pre pandemic lasting an average of 10-20 seconds, this is not a significant issue
>We appreciate they may be concerns, and we will always move forward with fan safety first and foremost. We still ask fans to attend with masks in the interest of safety and consideration to patrons.
In other words, full allowed cheering crowd at Wrestle Kingdom

One more piece of news

>2023 sees the return of New Year Dash to the calendar. This exciting start to the year traditionally sees a mystery card revealed to the audience, staff and wrestlers as the event gets underway. On January 5 2023, however, things get an added twist. This year, the card will not be announced at all!
