ABCs of Pro Wrestling

An insane homage to professional wrestling by yours truly, Bill Main. On Twitter as @abcprowrestling and @itsbillmain

I know I’ve already done “K” and “O” but I just can’t pass this up!

So today, K is for Kenny! O is for Omega!

I recently illustrated and designed this t-shirt for Kenny Omega and the response has been really positive! I’m so stoked because as both a rabid wrestling and gaming fan, Kenny Omega hits all the right notes for me. 

I tried to pepper in as many fun references to his character over the years as I could. His One Winged Angel finisher has become Sephiroth’s black wing from Final Fantasy 7, he’s got Mega Man’s (or Rock Man’s) buster and boots, I chose to reference a little Evil Dead with Kenny’s imaginary chainsaw gimmick, and he’s got that gleaming red Terminator eye! He’s surrounded by a smattering of some classic game cartridges too!

The shirt was picked up by ProWrestlingTees.com and is available in two colors: BLACK and HOT PINK! 

If I could ask you guys anything, please share this with somebody who you think would really appreciate it because I would LOVE to do more work for talented wrestlers who need awesome merch.

Feel the pop of the crowd as you remember how much you relish this raucous rager. R is for Rumble!

POW! Put that poser down for the count! P is for Power Bomb!

[abcsofprowrestling]

Oh Yeah! The original and obligatory, ostentatious, ever-a-crowd-pleasing climb toward the rafters. Death from above comes off the top rope.

[abcsofprowrestling]

Not so fast, newbie! No one’s running away when you've got this nasty move in your bag! N is for Neckbreaker.

[abcsofprowrestling]

Hey dude, can you do nut shot for "N", since you didn't do Low Blow for "L" lol...just a thought !

Haha! Thats a good one but I’ll probably save Low Blow for next round. There are soon many good ones for most of the letters that I have a list of like 5-10 for a lot of them. For low blow, I can already see the poor jobber’s expression on his face. Thanks for the suggestion!

[abcsofprowrestling]

Mean, menacing and manipulative, no heel is complete without an equally heel mastermind! M is for Manager!!!

I was thinking about Jimmy Hart, Slick, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette on this guy!

[abcsofprowrestling]

It’s a lot like landing a length of lumber on a lifeless loser...L is for Leg Drop.

[abcsofprowrestling]

Another sloppy ref with a slow count?! K is for, “He Kicked out! He kicked out!” <---definitely in Jim Ross voice...

[abcsofprowrestling]

We’ll take the bumps so you don’t have to! J is for Jobber

[abcsofprowrestling]

It’s an injury that’s gonna be incurred instantly with a side of whiplash...I is for Irish Whip

[abcsofprowrestling]

Hard-nosed, headstrong and often hated, he hesitates at nothing-he’ll even hit a haymaker with a hammer... H is for Heel

[abcsofprowrestling]

Glory and the gold goes to the guy or gal that gets em’ overhead this easily...G is for Gorilla Press

[abcsofprowrestling]

Physically fantastic, yet fundamentally flawed, these fan favorite’s fire usually fizzles out far before the feel finished...F is for Face.

[abcsofprowrestling]

The end is upon you if you ever even eye that evil elbow! E is for Elbow Drop!
