Ahhhh, dammit. I really expected to love this. I really did. All these high ratings and my love of pro-wrestling made for a sure-thing but I came to the end feeling underwhelmed.
The first issue was absolutely perfect. It set up a story with a character you truly sympathize with and want to see overcome absolutely everything. Despite a very grounded first issue it goes downhill for me pretty quickly with the plot becoming incredibly over the top. Sure, there were a few surprises, but most of it became very predictable as well. I could have excused most of it, I looked past some of the craziness hoping for a payoff but the final act of this was incredibly difficult to take even remotely seriously, reminding me of a very bad WWE angle from 2006. If you know, you know.
