Uh, this Canadian wrestling, not southern style wrestling. Please make your insults geographically correct.

whether one of the writing team is so obsessed with pro wrestling that they think writing imaginary pro wrestling is somehow cool.

Having watched Ultimate Muscle and now the Tiger Mask Anime, the answer is yes. Imaginary wrestling pro wrestling is cool.

Now the threads manage to limit all of that to around 3 pages. Progress.

Progress from 10 pages of passionate debate to average 2,3 pages of hate spam?

Really?

Lynn is clever. She's managed to turn Gwynn into her captive audience.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the constant bloated hate erections that people feel the need to furiously beat off to ejaculate their teenage levels of unrelenting disappointment all over whatever printed out storyline they achingly want to be catered to their taste, fetishes, views of manhood, and personal fanhood of concussion ballet. Its not the most fun read, and agree it could use more socks.

But, I would argue this is still better than the bitter flamewars that caused the optimistic posters to bail on this forum, and the truly bad to be shown the door out to whatever sunshine they deemed to ruin next. No, I am not a huge fan of the forum right now and none of you will understand what me and worldshaking00 share together - the difference between now, and 10 page forum days, is I post now and I aggressively lurked then because I disliked most of the forum.

So, in conclusion, ya really.

Switching gears for a second.

Am I the only one imagining a role reversal for the night sisters as opposed to their EC counterparts. Like Mikayla's the naive one and Lina is the domineering one?

...and none of you will understand what me and worldshaking00 share together...

Back at you T_A. Love & friendship conquers all.

I am sure there's a few things T_A and I don't agree on concerning what we deem quality entertainment for our internet dollar. I was a lurker here for a long time, so I think that is something that we share as well. I'm sure I've squawked or proselytized on the forum and she thought to herself "wtf". But ultimately we have been captivated by the overall humor and story the characters are in. If we get vociferous, it is because we care. And while we as a general readership might dislike one thing or another, or how a certain story arc or character might be progressing, the point is WE aren't writing/drawing/creating it. If we wanted the story to go our way 100% of the time and have no surprises, we'd be writing it ourselves. Sit back and enjoy. Or hold your tongue and wait for a scene change. Or squawk even. We all read the same comic, and take away what we want from it. It's not my job to tidy up the mess (thanks @Don); I just try to respectfully bring my own commentary to what I read.

And as a final thought, borrowing the thread name so I can blurt this, thanks Giz and Dave for the web comic. I am damn sure you don't get enough of that.

Of course there are no rednecks in Canada. *cough*Red Green*cough*

RE: wrestling manga: agreed, to a degree. Wrestling isn't generally my cup of tea, but really; how much difference is there between pro wrestling storylines and many fighting anime or superhero comics/movies?

Oh, I'm gonna get flamed on this.

[Spidrift]

Wrestling angles are stories. If they're entertaining in the real world, it's because of the flash and live-action melodrama making them work as fiction. Making a comic -a fiction - about an imaginary work of fiction is just pointless recursion. Superhero fights are serious business within the setting; a wrestling angle doesn't mean anything.

I'm sure that someone could do a decent story about the people behind the theatre - I gather that Mickey Rourke did exactly that a few years back, and at least the stuff here about Lynn angsting about her love life is a bit of real character drama - but all the nonsense with Dio and the Night Sisters is just dumb.

There have been several Comics, Manga and Anime based on wrestling that have been really good.

Though i guess one could argue the Kinnikuman stuff kinda counts as Super Heroes.

BLEACH is superhero wrestlers. So is any Dragonball title after the original.
