I'm largely uninitiated to MMA, but I already know there are very few things in existence that scare me more than Cro Cop.

Credit to the artist. They have lots of other amazing illustrations. The Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna ones in particular.

Yeah, but that's instinctual fear. Fire, loud noises, Hulkamania running wild on you brother.

Summerslam match of Hacksaw/Demolition vs. Andre/Boss Man/Akeem. Strangely watchable.



Accessory overload.

My favourite part about that build-up. It's kinda cut off in that picture, but Jim Duggan had just won King of the Ring. His 2x4 HAS A CROWN.

And yeah, they built it up for weeks with Duggan wearing a mask and hanging around Demolition. People thought it might be a heel turn...then the night of Summerslam, he unmasked, and had the stars and stripes face paint. You should watch it, it's a surprisingly decent match, and the face pop when he does unmask is brilliant.

I dunno if Miyako is tall for a joshi girl, or both Jaki and Jun are just smaller than I expected.

(e): Oh, both Jaki and Jun are apparently only 5'8".

Makes it even better since Punk is wearing his Batman-coloured gear in that picture too.

If only Kane was masked at that point.

I can see why it's short-lived. Because holy poo poo that is an awful idea that's one step away from literally fighting to the death.
