Thing was supposedly the last hope of Earth: if he didn't win, the Champion would destroy it (or so he claimed) and after some plot devices caused fighters who might be considered 'stronger' to be disqulified (Thor threw his hammer, hence used a weapon, that's a DQ, Hulk shredded his boxing gloves and went into a mindless rage, he's not a competitor, he's an animal, that's a DQ...). Thing, of course, simply would not stay down, lasting longer than any other competitor the Champion ever fought. Ha, I never saw that before. It's literally word-for-word identical. Hits a little harder when it's a tiny primate rather than Ben Grimm, though.

They did a callback years later in a comic Deadpool Team-Up where an alien wrestler showed up to threaten Earth and Deadpool and Thing had to fight him. Deadpool's response was, "Wow, this guy is a total ripoff of that one Dexter's Lab episode."

Last night AEW had perhaps the greatest payoff. So Christian Cage has been part of their roster for a while and when he turned into a turtleneck-wearing heel, he spent weeks cutting promos on Jungle Boy Jack Perry where he made fun of Jack's dad Luke Perry being dead. Plus he made several offers to become Jack's new step-father. It was beautifully tasteless. His next feud was against Wardlow. In Wardlow's previous feud, which was against Samoa Joe, Wardlow made a big deal about how his haircut was in honor of his father, who died of cancer. When it came time for Christian to antagonize Wardlow, Christian was quick to jump on that and constantly poo poo on Wardlow's dead dad. Right now Christian is feuding with Darby Allin... whose father is alive. But Darby has another storyline going on right now where he's taking on Swerve Strickland and his stable Mogul Affiliates. Darby's allies are his mentor Sting and his protege Nick Wayne. Nick Wayne's deal is that he's a wrestling prodigy who just turned 18. Also he has had a rough life, including the sudden death of his father several years ago. At All In we were supposed to get Darby and Sting vs. Swerve and AR Fox in a double coffin match. On Dynamite, they did a bit of a preview by having Darby and Nick Wayne take on Swerve and AR Fox. Darby and Wayne won, leading to this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy2vJhgvw5U I've seen this described as the wrestling version of Captain America picking up Mjolnir.
