There's one thing I wish I hadn't done on this page: Invader X's reference to "the script" in panel five. The reason for this line was to be certain that readers knew that the wrestling match between Paul and Invader X is a work, but that Stu's interference in the match is not part of the show. (Although, we have to assume at this point that Paul had prior knowledge of it. Which he did.) However, I feel like a wrestler wouldn't actually behave this way. Even if something unexpected happens in the ring, wrestlers do their best to stay in character.

Also, kids read Mike and the Ninja, and the younger ones may not yet be aware that pro wrestling is a work, so I don't like the idea of potentially spoiling it for them. Otherwise, I like this page a lot. The big chairshot panel in the middle turned out great!
