I like LA Cartoon Network is getting in the game of making cartoons.

So this will be like that chuck Norris cartoon in the 80's?

The other cartoon that Cartoon Network LA (Mexico has done is Villainous and it's awesome. I don't care about Rey Mysterio but they can probably give us something with more originality than US Cartoon Network has been greenlighting.

The timing is very odd, given that Rey is mostly an afterthought now. His career is pretty much over and he's just playing out the string. Guy can barely walk outside without hurting himself and taking 6 months off.

When guys like El Santo made all those terrible (but popular) movies, they were in their prime and culturally relevant. I'unno, weird timing. This would've made more sense about 15 years ago. Or even 10.

His body has taken a beating for like 20 years. That has to have a effect on your body in some way. Ali may of had or had not have the greatness chin of all time, but you can not lay on the ropes and have heavy hitters like Foreman, Frazier or Shavers landing there best and not walk out of that ok. The punishment Ali took did effect him in retirement up to his death.
