As much as I love wrestling and their spin-off products, there are times that you really need to go “What The Fuck”!!!! My dear readers - this is one of those times. WWE has decided to launch a series of comic books entitled “WWE Heroes” which centers around the WWE roster and their adventures. The backstory for the series centers around an age-old feud between “The Shadow King” and “The King Of Kings” (which probably means HHH and The Undertaker or something along those lines).
While I appreciate creativity and innovation, WWE Heroes to me is just another WWE attempt to cash in on a new medium. Not to be a total douche but are any comic fans really reading this? Do they even care?
I admire what WWE is trying to do but I feel that they are spreading themselves thin with so many projects. Between films and comics and poor attempts at mainstreaming (Raw guest hosts I am looking at you), WWE is providing varied products but none are particularly innovative or engaging. I think that the most successful thing that they have done thus far in terms of new projects was the flick “See No Evil” and while it was original, at least used a genuine scary lead character in the form of Kane.
I really would like WWE to reach that pinnacle of popularity, but with all these hokey attempts at mainstreaming they are taking three steps back instead of moving forward. That’s my take! What’s yours?

Spoiler: (like it matters)
In the second issue h}{h and Jericho get murdered by terrorists at Wrestlemania.
It's not like they are playing different people. They are "themselves" that we watch every week.
Killing two of your top characters in the second issue is a big no no for any story.
And to think that people have to pay 60 bucks to see WM and a bunch of terrorists ruin it and they have to
witness two brutal murders on live TV.
Killing wrestlers in a sport that many wrestlers already have died in real life in just not cool. And pretty classless.
It doesn't matter that the comic sucks. This sickens me. This goes farther than South Park has ever gone.
This is just something that should be stopped.
Owen Hart died in the ring and they have Triple H killed in the ring?
And now when there are actual terrorists around to worry about this is just wrong.
Jericho being taken to the back and killed is just something that we stay with me as one of the sickest things that has entered my mind.
Imagine how tragic that would really be. And to actually make it happen sickens me more the child porn.
This is the worst thing I ever encountered. *shakes head*
My mood is really low just thinking about this. I say some f'ed up things sometimes but this shouldn't be joked about.
I had to e-mail them about this.
