Yep, this is going to be fun.

It's an accurate representation of him mentally compromised. It's an accurate representation of his blatant physical superiority over her. An accurate representation of a no extenuating circumstance fight? Nope, your opinion is greatly flawed.
Superman showed to be much stronger, and of course Wonder Woman will come off more skilled than someone fighting like an idiot. The heat vision wouldn't be pleasant, but considering his more impressive heat vision showings, it couldn't have really contributed to her KO. Strangled? Perhaps. Tanked his punch? Only an idiot would think she tanked it, considering the comic blatantly says she's unconscious. Surviving reentry heat? That shows how desperate the WW side is. Top-Tiers surviving reentry heat ain't shit. Even Namor and Martian Manhunter have, and they have a specific weakness to heat/fire. Tanking freeze breath? We know it didn't take her out. Dunno if it hurt her or not. Good thing for her this was before his Post-INFINITE CRISIS power-up or it would've taken her out. Wrist snapped? Yep, she could still fight despite that, not a big deal though, Superman's had worse he's fought through and her whole "I'm an Amazon!!" shtick means she should take that in stride. And, in the end, she only technically won. Had Superman had the mental facilities he could've dodged or deflected it. She's lucky he just stood there while she was still recovering from his punch.

In A League of One we learn it is not her goal to KO Superman or even really fight him but to weaken him. Which she accomplished with 2 kicks.
She sure didn't have anything against KOing Kyle or Bruce or J'onn. Perhaps, she was UNABLE to KO him? Hell, she even says, "I knew I couldn't beat you." So even in one of his lesser showings against her, he still completely dominates her. And doesn't even think of her as a threat. Not good for you.

In For Tomorrow Diana looks superior in the actual fight part of that fight. After Superman avoids and catches her sneak attack and warns her and hv warning shots at her, they are both ready, BAM -sheild bash! (I guess he wasn't fast enough to see that one coming lol!) then he gets kicked right out of the mountain. Diana then decides to disengage and go to the machine.So ya at the end of that fight part she does look superior. After that Supes attacks her with his back turned. And shes so stupid in that comic anyway. Instead of running up and ripping that machine to shreads she stands there and poses with the knife so Superman can backhand her. Well whatever. Not the best representation of how a fight would go down between them imo.
She had her moments, but El Oh PHUCKING EL that she looked superior in "the actual fight part of that fight." She is rather motivated. He treats her like she's nothing. That's before the fight even starts. She lunges at him, he spins around and grabs her wrist stopping it. She does manage to cut his cheek, I guess vibrating her hand with the blade barely away from his face. Yeah, she does charge and bashes him with the shield. I never said she didn't have her moments. He probably got caught because he thought nothing of her. And really, he shows she's well below him. Yep, she sends him through with a kick. Etrigan knocked Superman to the MOON with a punch. More impressive. Even without considering a kick is more powerful than a punch. And Superman is stronger than Etrigan. A Top-Tier sending a Top-Tier more powerful than them with a punch isn't the be-all-end-all. And yeah, Wonder Woman doesn't smash the machine. Lucky for her, 'cuz then Superman would be pissed. I notice you make a big deal about her standing there, but don't mention at all that in SACRIFICE, Superman stands there and lets Diana recover after KTFOing her(and reentry waking her up) when she was awake but still down, instead of finishing her off. Her not breaking the machine means.....she didn't get his wrath. It actually saves her. Superman zips right in front of her, and sends her flying with a backhand. Now peers can send each other flying with punches(so her kick isn't that big a deal), but I don't think I've seen a peer sending another peer flying with a BACKHAND like he did her. Then he catches her punch, and they kinda talk. And she stops. And she looks better?

In WW175 wasnt that Supes combined wirh Doomsdays powers? So he was way powerful and Diana kept up with him all the way to the end. Their were outside circumstances affecting both iirc.
It's assumption he as combined with Doomsday's powers. He did have that look going, but the only actual enhancement that was clear would be the bone protrusions. Which actually were a factor a whole one point in the fight. Considering how physically outmatched she is against both Superman and Doomsday, if he had DD's powers stacked on his, she would've been killed despite him being mentally compromised. And if you mean "a mix of good moments and struggling to survive" then I guess she kept up with him. There were some other outside circumstances(her lasso being taken away for a portion of the fight) but he proved to be significantly above her. She even blocked an attack with her BRACERS and said "Two more attacks like that will kill me!!" or something like that. I'm perfectly fine with it being hyperbole and he wouldn't literally have killed her, but it shows just how blatantly above her he is if she's freaking-out like that by the force even with her bracers. She was really only able to hurt him striking vulnerable areas, which, considering his mind was primitive, he couldn't avoid like he could in a normal fight. She won by lassoing him(she ended-up getting it back) while he was distracting and undoing Circe's spell.

Superman has defeated WW at least once tho. In the 10th circle JLA story he proves he can win, if he gets 2 sucker shots, plays possum, and has 3 vampire buddies sacrifice their lives, THEN he can beat her.
Well first off, I doubt Superman was in peak condition. He was fed on by Crucifer, and IIRC was out of the Sun for some time, so he wouldn't replenish. What happened to normal humans Crucifer fed on?
Yeah, he turned normal humans into husks. How much of an effect would this have on Superman? Unknown, but between that and no sunlight for a time, you can hardly argue he'd be in peak condition. Then the vampires. there were only two "vampire buddies" that "sacrificed their lives." Plus Crucifer. But on the vampires. er You mean the standard No-Name kind that Batman handled on his own?
REALLY? Now, of course they can provide a distraction, but for a Top-Tier like Wonder Woman, especially with that sword that decapitated them? A distraction is all they'd be. Crucifer definitely seemed more a threat, but we're not focusing on him. Although he was the puppet master behind Superman in that fight. Now, in regards to what actually happened in the fight, it was her best performance, as she actually looked fairly even there with him. Fairly even with a mentally compromised, weakened Superman. You can argue the sucker punch(which wasn't much of a punch, but surely wasn't pleasant for her) and "playing possum," and I do agree the vampires were a distraction, but ignoring that and focusing on the actual performance? Yeah, she looks evenish against a weaned, handicapped Superman.

What about during KING OF THE WORLD where the best she could do was stalemate him despite back-up from the JLA? He also tossed her like a ragdoll.

And I could bring-up more stuff relevant to the topic.
