... View MoreThis 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?
