Awesome, happy for pakistan fans. Always loved Wade, one of my all time favourites from England; Carlito will be in Pakistan as well, another top former wwe star.

"Tango, Flesh, Zefy, Bambikiller, Fabio Ferrari, Mr Jacky, Mickey and Betty Trash, Tiny Iron".

Speaking of WOS, ITV did a reboot Markhor but it hasn't taken off; they've tried too hard to imitate WWE rather then depict what they were famous for; e.g larger then life characters and British Catch Wrestling. Vince immediately has invaded the UK territory when he learned of ITV's ambitions, he started a UK tournament with the best talent from the British independent seen and they've done a better job then ITV in paying homage to the WOS roots with a modern spin on British Strong Style. The tournament success has lead to a regular WWE UK TV show which will be airing soon on the WWE Network.

Anyway really happy for Pak wrestling fans they love it there, glad to see Carlito and Wade make the trip

Were those the biggest crowds you wrestled in front of?

Actually, the biggest crowd was in Pakistan. I wrestled Inoki in front of 75,000 people. All men. That was something else, really something, because the people liked him. He wrestled the Singh brothers over there, who were big amateur wrestlers, and one of the people he wrestled, I think one of the uncles or something, he broke his arm, so he was like a legend.

No women in the audience?

That’s a Muslim country, so they could come, but the guys would always go get tickets for their buddies and leave the wives at home.

Not surprised by the bolded as it was the height of Zia's theocracy.

...and the padosi thought the world had isolated us over which even a KC Singh laughs at the BJP. Everyone is coming to Pak with China and Russia both on our side. Even the Muslim alliance chose a Pakistani to lead them! Wrestling is a Sport most Pak people love, even my Mum was crazy about it! I am sure the shows will be great viewing for the kushti loving audience.
