I saw this photo of Real Jimmy Hart yesterday and joked with my wife that it belonged on the cover of an 80s romance novel. Twenty minutes in Photoshop later…

My Real Jimmy Hart fangirl wife mistyped WrestleCade as “Wrestle Cafe” to her Sting fangirl BFF and the ensuing giggle fest spawned this silliness. Bravo, Sammi Bold. Bravo.

I get it, universe. I’m getting old and everyone I know and love including myself will be dead sooner or later. Y’ain’t gotta remind me by taking one of my childhood favs every other week.

Y’know…if some anime convention had the brass cajones for it, a “Wrestle Cafe” where it’s like a maid cafe/host club but with pro wrestlers would be the most talked about attraction on the con circuit.

My wife said this to me the other day and I found it so charming I had to make art of it.

My art for LaToonie’s Wrestling Giant Series upcoming Andre the Giant (Wrestlemania III contract signing) figure. This will be the back of the packaging and the included poster. Preorders should be announced soon.

Anyone with half a brain and a modicum of taste can see how incredibly stupid this was, and yet a new breed of puritanical busybodies are still pushing this crap on comics, anime, and video games.

From the Nitro Grill menu. This is funny because Real Jimmy Hart’s actual diet mainly consists of beans, potatoes, cheese, and crackers.

Bullshit. Everyone hated the forced redesign so much they eventually did an episode to make fun of it.

Time to relive my childhood! I probably won’t get a free Raphael plush this time around though.

Was kind of hoping the robots would destroy us with nuclear weapons, not piss & shit-tinted content pollution.

Ok, that’s funny.

Here’s the thing: if people showed this much energy for the brand before the change, they wouldn’t have had to rebrand in the first place.

And that is a fair counterpoint. Sometimes these brands are doing just fine, but start chasing new customers that won’t be impressed by a new coat of paint.

New acrylic figure we’ll be premiering at the Harrisburg Comic & Pop Con this weekend. Behold his super cuteness!
