WWE: 10 Hilarious Sources Of Wrestling Humour

By Marshall Ward /

Wrestling fans sometimes run the risk of taking their beloved "sports entertainment" a little too seriously. Amid all the dirtsheet gossip and backstage politics, it's easy to get wrapped up in heated online debates and social media tirades. Sometimes it's worth taking a step back and enjoying wrestling for what it really is: a peculiar pop-culture circus in which muscular living cartoons wear skimpy spandex and pretend to fight one another. Thankfully, there are some fantastic resources on the internet to help us see the lighter side of pro wrestling. The sites and people listed here celebrate the weirdness of wrestling -- "making fun with wrestling, not of wrestling," as Colt Cabana puts it. Because humor is highly subjective and tastes vary, the ordering of this list is based on personal preference. If you know of wrestling humor sources that didn't make this list -- or if you would have ranked this list in a different order -- leave your comments below. In the meantime, have a good laugh at these:

What it is: A thrice-weekly (on a good week) webcomic that lampoons professional wrestling with adeptly drawn visuals and some pretty clever zingers. The comic usually sets its sights on the current foibles of WWE, but also chronicles the misadventures of Olav Orlav (an old-timey wrestler with ever older-timey viewpoints) and Rad Bad Debone (a green and optimistic newbie). Artist James Hornby earns kudos both for his artistic skills and his sharp wit. Why it's funny: Drawings that are both simple and spot-on accurate, with punchy and well-written dialogue. CM Punk in his tightie-whities and Randy Orton unsuccessfully trying to RKO inanimate objects -- what's not to like? You'll enjoy it if: You grew up reading the Saturday morning funnies and then watching Saturday afternoon wrestling.A few examples:
