    How North Korea Held the Greatest Pro Wrestling Event in History
    Pyongyang, 1995. The lone American made his way down a long, dingy hallway, past several North Korean officials. He was nervous, afraid of what was to come - not just because of the constant surveillance he was under, but the state of the entire country. You see North Korea was in the midst of a devastating famine, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens suffering and dying from starvation and illnesses. He didn’t know what to expect, but he was there for a reason, and he had a job to do. At the entrance, he got his cue, and with one final breath, he stepped out..... into what was a sea of humanity.
    Now this wasn’t just any crowd. This was a 190,000 North Koreans who were conditioned to see Americans as evil, who did not know pro wrestling was staged, that it was predetermined and choreographed. And here was a man - a blond-haired American man - who embodied everything they were legitimately told to hate.
    This man was the legendary Ric Flair, one of the greatest American professional wrestlers of all time, and at this moment he was wondering what he had gotten himself into.
    Now this happened in April, 1995, but the events that led to this actually started 11 months earlier...
    Talking Points:
    - Collision in Korea event
    - Kim Il-sung's death
    - Kim Jong-il's cult of personality
    - Antonio Inoki & NJPW
    - Politicians who wrestle
    - Kane (Mayor Glenn Jacobs)
    - Record attendance in world's largest May Day stadium
    - Eric Bischoff & WCW
    - WWE / WWF
    - Controversial Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia
    - Jamal Khashoggi in Saudi consulate in Turkey
    - Scott Norton's interrogation
    - North Korean wrestling legend, Rikidozan
    - Muhammad Ali's random guest appearance

    4:58
    Says "Phenomenal" while having a clip of the "Phenomenal" AJ Styles do the "Phenomenal" Forearm.
    5:34
    "Cult of Personality" while making Kim Jong-Il do CM Punk's crossarm pose.
    5:21
    At the clock beside Kim Il-Sung says "03:16" or "Austin 3:16" as a reference to Stone Cold Steve Austin who famously gave his "Austin 3:16" promo during his 1996 King Of The Ring inauguration.
    6:02 He says Bishoff, Inoki and Jong-Il are "All In", which is one of AEW's PPV event and catchphrase.
    12:42
    Says "Architect" while having the logo of Seth Rollins, who is sometimes called "The Architect"
    10:15
    Kim Jong-Il wearing a shirt of "The Man" Becky Lynch, who ironically, in this drawing, is representing a woman.
    11:27
    Logo of "The Elite" with members who once performed for NJPW, including Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Cody (Rhodes) and "Hangman" Adam Paige
    15:47
    Kim Jong-Il doing Kenny Omega's signature fingergun pose, where he would say "Goodbye and Goodnight"
    17:31
    Again, Becky Lynch is represented, to place her shirt on a Saudi Arabian man, representing a country who is well-known for it's very poor Women's Rights.
    17:40
    Says Daniel Bryan and John Cena, but I'm confused since I only see Daniel Bryan.

      @@nightwaddie5426 lol u are the one. U guy always think everything in negative way becuz u hate it instead of use critical thinking. NK is very lack of resource, not a very rich country. Any talent people they have are very valuable to them. Beside, the country is not as tough as u think , media over exaggerate it alot.

    Not only you made a great video but you actually made it fun with the little wrestling related jokes.
    btw, Hogan said no because he didn't want to put anyone over at that time.

      Hogan wouldnt have made it out of the country alive if he did the event. Only way to make it worse is if he came out to his WWE theme.

    I knew about this event, but not nearly as much info given here. At the start, I thought to myself "really? 18 mins?" But it's related to wrestling and so I clicked anyway and then just didn't want it to end. What a beautiful way of storytelling and the attention to detail is eye-catching. And that Segway and the end? I didn't even realise until a few seconds in hahaha! Great work. Would love for you to cover more of such wrestling based stories.
