Yes, because Marvel is going to have Wolverine kill Thor. 🙄
Wolverine hit Thor with glancing blows for the same reason he hits Captain America, Daredevil and Punisher, with glancing blows, because if he connect cleanly even once, they could die. Wolverine isn't held to the same restrictions on the forum as he is in a comic. On the forum he operates to the best of his abilities, and he isn't restricted from killing heroes merely because they happen to be valuable intellectual properties. On the forum Thor gets carved up just like Hulk or Deadpool, or anyone of the dozens of characters with healing factors Wolverine has fought who can take a stabbing / evisceration / decapitation / dismemberment without being written off. Unlike that comic, there are is no red tape protecting Thor from Wolverine's claws on KMC.
The forum rules for your viewing pleasure:
Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.
Wolverine was mind-controlled. Batman beat a mind-controlled Lady Shiva in one panel, Wolverine's done the same to Psylocke. Do you think either of those fights would have lasted one panel if the opponent wasn't mind controlled? Need I go on? Mind-controlled characters always operate at severely diminished capacities. The only relevance that fight has is that it shows us Wolverine's glancing blows can cut Thor, and that Wolverine can tank Thor's fiercest blows (both things anyone with a passing familiarity with both character's already knew). A none mind-controlled Wolverine is a different beast entirely.
