Your favourite wrestler WISHES he could handle this lore! On this episode of Smark & Friends, we welcome writer Todd Matthy, creator of DISCIPLE! A comic that blends equal measures of Monday Night RAW and American Gods, Disciple tells the tale of Jesse, an aspiring pro-wrestler that makes a Faustian bargain with the God of War himself!

The campaign to fund Disciple was launched on Kickstarter earlier this month. Between this episode’s recording and release, Disciple reached it’s funding goal and is presently pursuing awesome stretch goals! Visit the project’s Kickstarter for more! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/disciplecomicbook/disciple/

“Todd Matthy tells a unique and compelling story in the most creative way as a timeless battle of immortals crosses paths with the world of modern day professional wrestling. The ring has always been a platform to settle disputes, and these deities have more at stake than the loyal fans watchings can fathom”—Rob Van Dam

“This is smart and original. I very much enjoyed what I read, I see potential, and I heartily endorse this project”–Mark Waid

“Good job. Way to testify”- D’Von Dudley

“DISCIPLE is what happens when you mix myth with kayfabe and discover they’re the same. Wicked artwork and deadly coloring make it an enjoyable read.” –Jay Sandlin

It’s a big weekend for the wrestling fandom! Fans are scurrying around Dallas taking in all manner of wrestling shows culminating at WrestleMania, and comedian Walter J. Lyng is bringing some of that ‘Mania excitement to Montreal. At Champs, Montreal’s oldest sports bar, Walter will be hosting WrestleMania Watchparty Weekend, Saturday and Sunday night! Not only will Walter be bringing his peers in comedy with him, but wrestlers from Zak’s favourite promotion, IWS!

And beyond that, we’re taking time to celebrate and discuss celebrity involvement in WrestleMania – after all, our own hometown hero is involved in one this year! We chat about some of our favourite cameos in a wrestling ring as well as an in-depth chat about Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville!
