The latest offering of The Flash #787 is the first time DC readers will see the competitive and colorful Multiversal Wrestling League or WAM. The intergalactic league of wrestlers is a flashback to the U.S. World Wrestling Federation now known as World Wrestling Entertainment.

Sean Gribbon with CBR (Comic Book Resources) gives Multi-verse fans and Flash aficionados a sneak peek at The Flash #787 which is due out Monday.

, The comic will introduce readers to a brand-new sport. Wrestling Across the Multiverse (WAM) is a new concept that is expected to eventually translate to the big screen.

New characters Omega-Bam-Man, Commander Power Tower, and Kriegmeister 10 will join the Scarlet Speedster aka Wally West, and the Flash on a new adventure.

The Flash #787 preview

The comic is written by Jeremy Adams and inked by Fernando Pasarin and Matt Ryan. Taurin Clark created cover art with variant cover art from George Kambadais.  And the Black Adam movie variant cover was done by EJIKURE.

The preview issue begins with Wally West and his kids, Jai and Irey, watching TV. Only to see the morning cartoons interrupted by WAM commentators. 

Mean Beam Woodman and Justice Lawyer, discuss an in-progress match between intergalactic wrestlers Kriegmeister10 and Commander Powtower. 

When Wally discovers the mega match-up is happening downtown and is destroying the city. He races out of his house, as the Scarlet Speedster.

Superpowered wrestling 

All the wrestlers are lining up to take on WAM's champion, Omega-Bam-Man. 

This is the first-ever appearance of super-powered powered wrestling in the DC Universe. And there are some never before seen wrestling moves like "cosmic elbows" and "power clutches." 

Jeremy Adams got his inspiration from two wrestlers who are the writer's close friends, Jim Krieg and Jeremy Padawer.

Superpowered wrestling is another variation of previous superheroes' involvement in sports.

For instance, Superman has been in several boxing matches against his enemies. He entered the ring to fight Darkseid, and on another occasion, Harley Quinn. 

Most famously, comic book geeks should still remember when the Man of Steel was defeated in a boxing bout. In the classic Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, he fought and lost to the legendary U. S. fighter.

The Flash #787 is 32 pages of power clutches. And it goes on sale on Monday, October 18th.
