THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN: 20 YEARS LATER


SUPERMAN VS. DOOMSDAY

On November 18, 1992, Superman was killed by the monster Doomsday and it was one of the most important events in  not only comics but also pop culture.

I was 10 years old at this time and I couldn't believe Superman was being killed. My hero was being obliterated and there was nothing I could do. What would the world do without Superman?

Apparently, other people felt the same way as Superman #75 was among the best selling issues in history.

NEWSOK.COM has a great article that you can read here, on the impact that the "Death of Superman" saga had on comics and pop culture.

Superman came back and is still my favorite Superhero no matter what they do to him (I'm looking at you DC NEW 52 reboot).

LONG LIVE SUPERMAN!!!

CM PUNK: WWE CHAMPION FOR ONE YEAR



CM Punk has been champion for one year. Making him number 8 on the list of the longest reigning champions in WWE history.

He lands right between Randy Savage at number 7 and Hulk Hogan at number 9, two of wrestling's biggest names.

This is no accident. Punk deserves to be on the list. He is a mix of Ric Flair's skills and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's attitude. Punk may not be a totally mainstream name now but he will be once he faces The Rock at The Royal Rumble.

In the last year and a half he has taken the WWE by storm and continues to be one of their top bad guys.

As a fan of wrestling, I love CM Punk and I can't wait to see what he does next.

MATT MORGAN VS. HULK HOGAN: A GOOD INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE






Hulk Hogan said on his twitter page according to EWRESTLINGNEWS: "Yo Jeremy I would to wrestle Morgan but I think he wod really, for a shoot end up putting me in a wheel chair. He's too strong, it's his time now."

"I've been waiting for 25 yrs for someone like him to take his place in the food chain of the business. It's who he's meant to be. HH"



Hulk Hogan knows that Matt Morgan wants to be at the top of the wrestling business and now its his time. Hogan can't fight Morgan in a regular wrestling match but a "fight" scenario might be interesting. All Morgan really needs is to nail Hogan with one Carbon Footprint and he will be a made man.



Hogan said he's been waiting 25 years for someone like Matt Morgan to come along and I believe him. Even though Hogan is a great salesman he realizes that Matt Morgan has a mix of Randy Savage's attitude and Hulk Hogan size. As a fan I can't wait to see how this unfolds and I'm betting it leads to Morgan winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
