HEAT #4 – Trick Question?

This was a page that I was looking forward to from the beginning, although the text took up more room than I thought it was going to. Doc’s Cobra Clutch on Ragnar Rasmussen got recreated in Classic Wrestling Moments #1 last week. The crimson mask must have been from one of his other title matches (since he’s clearly not bleeding in CWM #1). And that’s how I just explained to myself what the hell I’m doing. Good talk, self!

My favourite thing on this page is definitely Dick’s reaction to being kicked in the gut by Doc.

So I watched the last hour of TNA Impact tonight, and I have to wonder what exactly they’re trying to accomplish? I was pleasantly surprised by the Nasty Boys, who were surprisingly entertaining in the ring, but overall the plan seems to be rehashing late ’90s WCW and WWF. The Angle getting “screwed” thing was just… stupid.

HEAT: Classic Wrestling Moments #1

HEAT: Classic Wrestling Moments #1

The first HEAT post… is a promo for the actual comic, which starts next week. Mad Doc Crockett is the trainer for HEAT’s lead, Dick the Bastard, and a former headliner in the wrestling biz. In my original conception of the comic he was pretty much just a support character that was only there to provide exposition by explaining stuff to Dick. He also wasn’t called Mad Doc Crockett, just Doc. Then Doc Collins, which was okay but missing something. Then after I wrote him for a couple of pages he became Mad Doc Crockett (named after NWA promoter Jim Crockett). After a while Doc became so much fun to write that he went from expository support character to the second lead.

I’m thinking that these “Classic Wrestling Moments” are probably going to serve as between chapter breaks, because I like them but they’d probably get old if I did them too often. Maybe I can get some guest artists for them… hm, I’ll have to look into that. Could be a nice bit of variety.

Oh, and there’s a fun bit of real-world wrestling trivia hidden in this strip. The first person to correctly guess what it is in the comments section or via email (jeff@rentathugcomics.com) will get to have a wrestler of their creation appear later on in the comic! So bust out the Google, or your own encyclopedic brains. Hint: it’s in the caption box.
