Kim Jong-un wants pro-wrestlers in Pyongyang

By Kim Tong-hyung

Dennis Rodman has been fun, but it seems North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would now rather have Triple H.

North Korea’s state news agency on Tuesday said the country will host an international pro-wrestling event in Pyongyang in August.

The event will feature “world renowned’’ fake athletes from the United States, Japan and other countries, the Korean Central News Agency said, although not providing further details.

Japanese pro-wrestling icon Kanji Inoki, who levered his fame into a career in politics, will head the Pyongyang event’s organizing committee along with the head of North Korea’s International Martial Arts Games Committee.
