So what of the show itself?

Collision in Korea is one of the few major WCW events that is not available on the WWE Network, a result of the show primarily being a New Japan production. The pay-per-view was eventually aired in the United States more than a year after it happened - and even then, it was in heavily edited form.

Some footage of the show does exist on the internet, however. Pretty much all reviews of the show put it in the fair-to-middling range, only worth watching for the strange spectacle of a disinterested crowd and the largest audience in pro wrestling history. Only one match tends to come highly recommended, and that was a women's tag team match in the middle of the card on the first night.

The match saw Bull Nakano team up with Akira Hokuto to take on the legendary Manami Toyota and Mariko Yoshida, and the match was a nine-minute sprint that was fairly indicative of Japanese women's wrestling at the time.

Dave Meltzer gave the match four stars, leaving it head and shoulders above everything else on either show.
