wrassles maniac

the previously promised wrestling purge. here are the last few wrassles drawings i've got in the bag and will leave you alone about this for at least a little while then. this whole exercise of the simple, stylized, shape-based wrestler cartoons was quite fun and distracted me somewhat from my dumb job. we've got dusty rhodes the american dream (which is probably going to be abe's halloween costume this year), big e langston the current ic champ, colt "boom boom" cabana, the big red monster kane, and an iron sheik cartoony thing. if you're a fan of the wrassles and of the podcasts might i suggest colt cabana's art of wrestling podcast. its fantastic. also practically any match he is in. this guy understands what wrestling can be on so many levels and is the most entertaining wrestler you've probably not heard of. also he and cm punk are besties and trained together so watching their early stuff in the indies is amazing. two guys trying to elevate and improve their sport. also treat yourself to practically any dusty rhodes promo. probably the best mic worker ever. and that accent/slur combo is pure magic. i can't hear it without trying to mimic it. also, since i am clearly a grown up and not obsessed with childish things like pro wrestling and action figures, my new pro wrestling action figures! i like toys and hadn't bought any in a long time so i figured "treat yo'self!" plus what with punk quitting(?) i figured buy now while cheapish and available. anyhow, there is the last wrestling post on the horizon, but probably not forever. also i am posting a palette cleanser post after this too.

what you gonna do, brother, when zachamania runs out of wrassles?
