It's a very tasteless (albeit sometimes still funny) joke referring to the last words sent by text of professional wrestler Chris Benoit, shortly after killing his wife and son, and before killing himself.

The best Green Lantern / Hal Jordan moment was the first 3 issues of the New 52 reboot which had Sinestro (who was a GL) basically showing Hal what a gently caress up he is and ends with Hal getting disintegrated by the Yellow Central Battery. Had the book actually killed him like that and continued focus on Sinestro I'd still be reading it.

It's relevant because his brain scans apparently looked like swiss cheese due to all the concussions he had suffered.

Wasn't his signature move jumping off a ladder to deliver a headbutt?

He also did the ladder/cage version of that way more often than anyone should. (Which is ever. Ever doing it is too often)

Is that everything you have?

It's worth noting that have another guy doing headbutts off the turnbuckle now, but "thankfully" his in ring career might be over already because it turned his neck into Swiss cheese before his brain.

Hey, unimaginative idiots probably ARE more likely to be too dumb to be scared or lie effectively, so the rings selecting the less intelligent by preference actually makes sense!

I swear there was an old comic where they need a temporary Green Lantern for some reason, and the ring picks some helpful alien, and at the end of the story it turns out he's a mental patient on his home planet because he literally can't feel fear and so can't function normally...

Normally it wouldn't, but at this point Green Lantern's head contains more fluid than brain.

Wasn't there at least one Lantern who did not understand the concept of 'Light' thanks to his home's conditions so they had to phrase it as 'Sound' instead? I think it's even around here somewhere...
