Is that Stan Hanson and Bruiser Brody teaming up on Andre in the second panel? This is absolutely mad.

That is Andre the Giant getting hit with a drop kick, lariat, and axe bomber simultaneously from Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen, and Hulk Hogan, yes!

That's how you can tell it's fantasy booking because Hogan isn't demanding to go over. Hell yeah.

Still kind of disappointed that this doesn't live up to the promise of its title and have Darth Vader bodyslamming Obi-Wan Kenobi through a table in front of a thousand howling Stormtroopers.

I neglected to include the artist!! Too focused on doublechecking the author's name I didn't notice there were two of them!
Art by Kenji Minomo!

Terry Funk heroically coming back from retirement to help the Japan side? Dory Funk Sr. letting Giant Baba in on the forbidden second and third variations of the spinning toe hold that are too lethal to use except in the most dire circumstances? Hell yeah dude.

I think that copyright laws should specifically protect and indeed encourage entrance music used in pro wrestling shows, and this kind of thing exactly.
