In the intro he writes that he got into wrestling when he was stuck awake at night by his newborn in 2018. So he's been into wrestling like two years longer than I have!

DWJ is probably my favourite comics person right now. (Reddit link because I refuse to download the Imgur app on my phone).

I love those moments when you can't tell who's supposed to have the upper hand, they just thought it looked cool. The lift at 20 seconds for example.

Uh, isn't Bill roughly on a level with Thor, so theoretically able to punch Hulk in a way that Hulk feels? Clotheslining a random normie sounds like a bad idea for a guy like him, unless he likes picking up bits of chest out of his shirt for weeks.

OnimaruXLR posted:by comics logic characters like say, Terrax or Mongul are adequately described as random jerks I was in line at the coffee shop the other day, and Terrax was in front of me just talking on his cell phone really loudly for like 10 minutes. Nothing interesting either, just "I know, right", "Can you believe that?", "Yeah, exactly", those 3 phrases repeated loudly for 10 minutes. Then he finally gets to the counter and he's still talking for a minute before he orders.

Fitting for the thread because it sounds Marvel and DC. The rate at which they upload old comics means they will never catch up. So many missing issues and big gaps, and not just obscure stuff either.

I was just theorizing on how that writer/artist could gain an incredibly deep knowledge of pro-wrestling in a couple years. Like with the Marvel/DC online comic thing, yeah, not everything is on there, but if I just started reading comics a few years ago there's more than enough for me to get some really in-depth knowledge of the various bits of obscure lore that exists.

The thing about wrestling is that you don't need to watch a whole ton of it to get the gist. Knowing about history never hurts, but it's not like you need to watch all of Dallas to understand contemporary soap operas.

I feel like once you have a handle on the moves and the techniques that's half the battle and wouldn't take long. The rest is campy melodrama soap opera, which you can encounter and learn and execute without knowing much at all about any actual wrestling storylines.
