Ah, Mighty Kong. Goddamn does he give me scale issues. Kind of like Wooly Bully, but moreso. His Gorilla Press to the floor finisher comes from an old wrestling video game of which I only have a vague recollection from a Nintendo Power article. In it, somebody’s finisher was throwing opponents out of the ring, even though it was a real wrestler who definitely did not do that as a finisher. I believe it was Vader or Ultimate Warrior.
Next Week: The annual HEAT Christmas Special, followed by the annual HEAT Christmas break! Check back on January 6th for A Word From Our Sponsors, a guest strip by my buddy Johnni Kok. Yes that is his real name.
Fun Fact: Throwing out of the ring has been used as an actual finisher, by The Berzerker
Reminds of WCW/nWO Revenge where I won every match by fighting outside and slipping in at the last second. Pissed off my brother eerytime.
Fun Fact: I frequently forget the Berzerker even existed, let alone had a finishing move.
My friends and I used to do that to win tag matches. The illegal partner would beat up the other team’s legal partner on the floor to get the countout win.
