TWEETS
STORY

Joe Somiano risked it all by dropping out of college to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler, much to the disapproval of his father. King Crown Jr. is a second-generation pro-wrestler, and current Heavyweight Champion of Super Pro. K.O.!, that drinks more than he trains. Will Joe ever get a shot at wearing the SPKO Title? And will King Crown Jr. stay focused enough to defend the Championship  at any costs?

Brotherly Bonds

One of my favorite dynamics to address in Super Pro K.O. has been that of the “brotherly bond”. I think The Wildchild’s Jet and Jumbo are the best example.

The SPKO Tag Team Champs travel the road together and seem to annoy each other more often than not. Jumbo’s more out-going and concerned about the views of others. Jet’s more off-putting towards everyone else in the locker-room and even the fans.  Joe Somiano can relate to them both pretty well too. They’ve pretty much become Joe’s road-buddies between cities in Super Pro. However, they don’t mind ditching Joe either. I think their relationship has translated from the script to the comic really well so far. Now, if they can just get some competition in the ring!

Joe Somiano and “Pippo” Somiano

Joe Somiano and Pippo Somiano are a bit different. They get along really well but that’ s mainly because of the age difference. Joe is 22 while Pippo is 17. Joe really played the older brother role well during their childhood.  Pippo’s currently in the 11th grade and definitely touts that his brother’s in SPKO among his peers. They mainly communicate by phone. Pippo really looks up to Joe. In fact, he’s probably the one person to not judge Joe so harshly after he dropped out of school.  With Pippo being a little rebellious, he sees Joe being on TV as something he may want to obtain himself one day. 

In both cases, I recall my brother’s relationship with me over the years (and even certain friendships).  The ups and downs all make for a fun dynamic.
