Ric Flair drew 150 thousand people..........they were forced to go though .....He was a draw.....Inoki actually drew it though

 

[Kiffy Lube]

It should be mandatory to watch all the Ric Flair matches that you possibly can.

 

[Deezy]

Yeah, you can watch him take back body drops all day long.

I heard WCW bullshited on that figure though? Will do some checking.

Was counted over the accumulation of three days of that Peace festival that was centered around wrestling.....this is the same country that filled arenas for the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman.

WCW didn't have much to do with this outside of sending Ric Flair with Bischoff and dubbing over terribly shot video of New Japan stars with Sonny Onoo and Mike Tenay.

I thought it was only two days and the two days combined had like a 350,000 attendance or something?

I'm just repeating the info I got about this card from a recent podcast I heard lastweek.....I could be wrong.

 

[Crippler]

Yeah, so i've never seen that WCW Collision in Korea show might jump on it

It's on Youtube, but not much to write home about outside of a womens match.
