In 1990, just after Wrestlemania VI, Vince McMahon joined forces with Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki to produce Wrestling Summit, a super show at the Tokyo Dome, featuring wrestlers from the WWF, New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling. It gave a fascinating insight into the differences between North America traditions and the creative world of puroresu which was just about to reach its peak. James Truepenny is joined by Alex Edwards to discuss the show  and beyond the match quality, the politics and impressions of a show that encapsulated a lot of what was happening in the wrestling world and its future for the next ten years on two continents.
