==Overview==

WWP wrestlers [[Steve Debbes|Tornado]], [[Jason McGinn (wrestler)|Jason Steele]] and [[World Wrestling Professionals|Ananzi]] were involved in training many of the wrestlers from India. In the middle of 2009, WWP held a tryout in [[Bombay]], India, searching for athletic candidates for the show. They selected twelve candidates to be trained before the ''100% De Dana Dan'' television tapings in August and September. [[Bollywood]] film stars [[Isha Koppikar]] and [[Sharat Saxena]] had roles in the show. The commentary was done by popular host [[Mohan Kapoor]]. [[Isha Koppikar]] participated as a live presenter while Saxena was the [[kayfabe]] manager of the Indian team.<ref name=Shows>{{cite web |title=100 % De Dana Dan |url=http://www.tvserialsandshows.com/2009/10/100-de-dhana-dhan-rin-presents-100-de.html |publisher=TV Serials & Shows |accessdate=24 June 2013 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6Hg3A8zla?url=http://www.tvserialsandshows.com/2009/10/100-de-dhana-dhan-rin-presents-100-de.html |archivedate=27 June 2013 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In highlights from the first season, [[Steve Debbes|Tornado]] became the 100% Heavyweight Champion on the second show and defended the championship for most of its run until being dethroned by the much larger competitor [[World Wrestling Professionals|Goonga]] in the final episode. Tornado won a tournament where the winner would be awarded the [[WWP Heavyweight World Title]], but seeing as he was already the champion he retained the championship. [[World Wrestling Professionals|Sando Paji]] defeated Tornado to win the 100% Championship but refused to accept the title and it was awarded back to Tornado. Ananzi and [[Jason McGinn|Jason Steele]] were featured prominently on the show, with Steele winning a title contender's tournament that lasted several weeks and Ananzi winning a crucial ladder match against [[Adam Bridle|Angelico]] that awarded the winning team keys to a new vehicle. A controversial angle aired where one of the wrestlers competing on the Indian team died in the ring as a result of injuries inflicted by the [[Nigerian]] wrestler [[World Wrestling Professionals|Kilimanjaro]], which later led to an angle where the passed wrestler returned.<ref name=Bing>{{cite web|title=Wrestler Goonga in 100% De Dana Dan|url=http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Wrestler+Goonga+in+100%25+De+Dhana+Dhan+&go=&qs=ds&form=QBVR|publisher=bing|accessdate=24 June 2013}}</ref>
