We’ve seen plenty of staggering acts of nerdery happen at Mike Banks’ comic book emporium over the past five years: geeks going gaga over newly released graphic novels, basement-dwellers engaging in simulated combat, even a couple who named their infant after Luke Skywalker.

The musical genre of rock ‘n’ roll has had something of a curious symbiotic relationship with the bombastic world of professional wrestling over the past decades. Both experienced major heydays in the 1950s and inevitably became intertwined in the early 80s when such grapplers as the Fabulous Freebirds began using…
