NJPW & WCW Collision In Korea (1995)
Collision in Korea was the largest professional wrestling pay-per-view event ever that was jointly produced by World Championship Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling. It took place over a period of two days on April 28 and 29, 1995, but did not air in North America until August 4, 1995, when WCW broadcast a selection of matches from the show on pay-per-view. The event was the first PPV from a North American wrestling promotion to be held in North Korea. The main event was Ric Flair versus Antonio Inoki. Other aired matches include The Steiner Brothers vs Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki, Tadao Yasuda vs Road Warrior Hawk, Shinya Hashimoto defending the IWGP Heavyweight Belt vs Scott Norton, and several other matches.

hyped garbage
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Mike Tenay, finally.1. Too Cold Scorpio Vs. Chris Benoit - Very well chosen opener. Quite short match won Benoit. 7/10 2. Tokimitsu Ishizawa Vs Yuji Nagata - Classic chain match - arm-bars, holds, etc. 6.5/10 3. El Samurai/Tadao Yasuda Vs. Masa Chono/Hiro Saito - Nothing special occurred, usual tag match. Chono's team won. 6/10 4. Bull Nakano/Akira Hokuto Vs. Manami Toyota/Mariko Yoshida - Full of action, I like it. 7/10 5. IWGP World Title Match: Scott Norton Vs. Champ-Shinya Hashimoto - Kinda slow match, ended with draw. 6/10 6. Road Warrior Hawk Vs. Tado Yasuda - Short sloppy match. 5.5/10 7. Steiner Brothers Vs. Hiroshi Hase/Kensuke Sasaki - Decent match with nice suplexes by the Steiners! Camera missed the finishing move, blah. 8/10 8. Ric Flair Vs. Antonio Inoki - Inoki Won. 6/10
This show, while on the surface may seem like just another overseas wrestling show, is somewhat history making in that it features Americans such as Ric Flair, 2 Cold Scorpio, the Steiner Brothers, the Road Warriors, and Scott Norton stepping foot on North Korean soil. Think about that. There have probably been fewer than 100 Americans to have been allowed into North Korea over the last 53 years since the Korean War, and a high percentage of them have been professional wrestlers. Presidents have not been there, statesmen and politicians have not been there, even athletes from more "reputable" sports such as basketball, baseball, or soccer have not been there, but 2 Cold Scorpio has been to North Korea. Kind of amazing, isn't it?
