7 Episodes Confirmed For Vice's Dark Side Of The Ring Season 3
6. NJPW/WCW Collision In Korea
WWE
Filmed over two days in April 1995, the New Japan Pro Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling co-promoted event Collision In Korea took place in front of a total of a reported 340,000 fans total.
The Pyongyang, North Korea event was the first of its kind in the country, and featured Ric Flair Vs Antonio Inoki in the main event. The enormous crowd comfortably holds the record for being the highest attendance in wrestling history, though the event obviously cannot be compared against legitimate box office records. Numerous wrestlers have discussed the sights and sounds of the infamously guarded environment, with Eric Bischoff going into further detail on the trip in his autobiography, but this will be the first longform profile piece on the event.
