In Flair's book, he talks about how the North Korean promoters wanting him to cut a promo bashing America, and Muhammad Ali yelling out something like "No wonder we hate these motherfuckers!" when asked to do the same.

The best story from that show is how Kensuke Sasaki met his wife on that tour and they had incredibly loud sex at the hotel. No one in the adjoining rooms could deny that Puro guys work stiff.

Sugar Blaster posted:2010 ric flair would agree to this, put a piece of memorabilia up for collateral, take the DPRK's money to pay alimony and then no-show the event. I can't wait to see Ric Flair's stump speeches in support of Sarah Palin. The betting lines will be fantastic, does he sleep with her before or after he bleeds during a speech?

The early 90s shows they did with NJPW was better than Kollision in Korea. Except for the whole Flair/Fujinami title mess the first one started.

I'm really having a hard time visualizing how 340,000 or even 190,000 people "attended" this event. In the only industrialized nation on earth with almost no light pollution.

These Stadiums hold those kind of numbers, especially when you only need to fit a ring as the playing surface. In a Totalitarian state, it isn't hard to make with the numbers after you have a building large enough to fit them. Find photos of North Korean rallies in these stadiums and you'll see these kinds of numbers. And I believe the number is 180,000 for the largest event, and 340,000 total for the tour.

It was held over two days so I'm pretty sure they just locked everybody in the stadium overnight and then herded in some more on day 2.

How the hell did a North Korean wrestling card even happen? Who approached who? Also I found this looking for the answer: quote:"...The second we arrived in Pyongyang, our passports were confiscated. Then each of us was assigned a "cultural attache" to follow us everywhere; these guys even sat in the dressing room while we went over our matches. In the dining room where the wrestlers ate, there was a camera in each corner, monitoring every movement. When Scott Norton called his wife and said, "This place sucks," his phone line suddenly went dead.

The cultural attachés are standard for almost every person of interest who visits-- DPRK is pretty much like an amusement park, however if you stray into an unauthorized area not on your tour in this amusement park, you happen to disappear. Also, the best part of North Korea is their entire DMZ protocol, which starts with funny things like speakers blasting DPRK propaganda South across the DMZ, and ends with really weird poo poo: poo poo like having an entire propaganda village in sight of the DMZ that is actually unpopulated (the windows of the buildings don't even have glass), that they truck people in and out of daily to "look normal and happy." North Korea, Best Korea.

North Korea is basically cartoonishly evil. When they inevitably invade a major country, it will probably involve them wearing Star Wars stormtrooper outfits and speakers blasting Imperial March.
