The Chicago Street Fight (WrestleMania 13) This entry was posted in More Things!, WCW Comic Book Reading Club and tagged Lex Luger, Sting, Terrence Taylor, WCW, WCW Comic Book Reading Club on Octoby Tom B.3.
He also writes The Merch Table for this very website. Anyway, that’s us done with page three! See you on Friday for the next instalment. More evidence that nobody cared about doing too good a job with the WCW comic! Either that or ‘Rampaging’ Ron Wilson was only given one reference photo of each wrestler to work from. That’s right, it’s ripped off from this image of Sting that appeared on the cover of the first issue: Hey, doesn’t his face look kind of familiar in this panel? Sting then whines for three panels about how he and Lex Luger are NOT FRIENDS, while also trying again to make ‘stingersized’ into a thing (SPOILERS: He never, ever does). So he just owns a computer? Was owning a computer enough of a novelty in the early ’90s to be a gimmick? I guess so! More importantly though, can we expect a torrent of computer-based puns from the Computerized Announcer of the ’90s, Terrence Taylor? God, I hope so. At first, I thought maybe he was some kind of robot or something, but reading on, its seems like that’s not the case: Terrence Taylor, the Computerized Announcer of the ’90s! Dangerously replaced by… well, I’ll let Jim Ross introduce him: There’s also a change to the commentary team, with Missy Hyatt shifted to a backstage role (NOT LIKE THAT, DON’T BE GROSS) and Paul E. I’m not sure what Clem Robins did to get stuck with ‘cowardly’ but whatever, he’s only doing the letters and Clem is already a pretty amazing first name. The monikers for the creative team are always a treat: Tom: So after two pages of catch-up, we can finally get started properly with ‘HEEL’, which the kayfabe-crushing credits box describes as ‘An Epic Tale of Lying & Cheating’. This website makes no claims to own it all panels and images are posted in the spirit of fair use and are the property of their respective owners and creators. WCW: The Comic is probably the property of Marvel Comics / WWE, though I’m not entirely sure. We’ll be there for each other, through the good (Vader! The Steiners! Sting! Cactus Jack!) and the (Johnny B.) Badd. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, will post a new page of the WCW comic with his comments and we’ll read through it together. Nobody in wrestling or comics paid it much attention, and after 12 issues, it was cancelled and lost to the ages. WCW: The Comic Book was published in the early 90s by Marvel Comics.
