In 1995 the WWE had an event in Pyongyang to celebrate the memory of a sumo and pro wrestler of Korean origin, a man both Korea's are proud of. The American stable was already nervous.

One wrestler got permission to call his wife back home and while she knew he went to Korea she assumed it was south Korea and she just couldn't reach him because he was whoring around.
Aggravated by this the wrestler told his wife that he was in fact in north Korea which his wife didn't believe. Now... He did something very stupid he was told not to do. Wrestlers were coached not to talk about the DPRK to outsiders.
Upon being accused of fucking around he blasted in his wife where he was and how much of a shit hole Pyongyang is. Remember the 7 seconds delay in broadcasting? Yeah north Korea don't play like that.
His call was live monitored with interpreters and the guy couldn't even finish his drunken ranting, the security police burst into the room restraining him and ending the call.
It was Dave Nortion and WCW
