"Dial M for Monkey: Rasslor" in which Monkey and several other superheroes are challenged by an alien wrestler was adapted from an October 1982 issue of "Marvel Two in One" entitled "And They Shall Call Him... Champion!". In the comic, an alien boxer called The Champion challenges several of Marvel's heaviest hitters (Thor, the Hulk, Doc Samson, Colossus, etc.) to boxing matches. After defeating all comers, The Champion is touched by The Thing's refusal to give up, despite being greatly outmatched.
Despite its original premiere on May 5, 1996, it was re-aired on November 27.
This was the fourth episode produced but the second to be aired.
