Hey, look at this. Video of Ric Flair vs. Antonio Inoki at Kollision in Korea. The two professional wrestling legends fight in front of 190,000 North Koreans at their famous 1995 match in Pyongyang.
Or you can see it here.
Even if professional wrestling is not your thing, it is really interesting listening to the commentary. They talk about how Inoki spend a year and a half trying to organize the bout, and how before the match, they laid flowers at the tomb of Yeok Do-san (aka, Rikidozan), one of the greatest pro wrestlers ever (and a man who came from North Korea).
Sometimes I really love the Internet.
Excellent find. Thank you!
So Inoki fought Muhammad Ali at one point and Ali was present for that fight in Pyongyang? Who would have thought?
