North Korea Wants Pro Wrestlers From U.S. For Summer Tournament
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — The wild world of professional wrestling is heading to North Korea.
The authoritarian nation locked in a long standoff with its neighbors and the United States over its nuclear bomb ambitions announced plans Monday for an international pro-wrestling match in the capital, Pyongyang, in late August.
"World renowned pro-wrestlers" from Japan, the U.S. and other countries will take part, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch. It provided few other details.....
More at link, if you're not done with it already.

That just shows how little they know about the world. Poor dears.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Considering that one of the definitions of "renown" is "fame", what is wrong with using that term for people that are superstars the world over (including being famous among people that aren't wrestling fans)?

I think we have different definitions of the word ''superstar''.

I'd travel there after it becomes part of either China or South Korea. But not before that.
