Kollision in Korea (spelled Collision in Korea on the VHS release) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event that was jointly produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). It was the first PPV from a North American wrestling promotion to be held in North Korea. It took place over a period of two days in April 1995, but wasn't aired in North America until August 1996.[1] It also holds the record for largest attendance for a wrestling event with 340,000 people during the course of the event.

***** you crazy. Scott Norton was one of the best gaijins during the 90's in Japan. That ***** made crazy money and had good stiff matches. He was like Mini-Vader just not as agile.

Antonio Inoki defeated Ric Flair

I never knew this match happened, I Lost.

*goes to find vid*

A 20 minute Norton match doesn't sound appealing but he's gully as fukk. Everyone has co-signed him as a guy who would kill just about anybody in the locker room.

I think ive seen that Steiners match on here, it's dope.

tRUTH. Everyone loves "the new".

Yeah, WCW at one point offered everything I wanted in a wrestling promotion: a sense of realism, a sense of drama, sporting athleticism and the manly soap opera we all appreciate.

I never got to see the KOREA pay per view but I recall it breaking attendance records.

I think there was alot of controversy in the Ric Flair match
