Wow. On second glance, it looks like Krystin was finally going to move on from Sara Valentine, but I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Sara might not have won the match, but she definitely didn’t lose the war. Think we’ll be seeing a rematch between these two? I’m thinking we’ve reached ‘grudge’ status with these two so we might just have to have a specialty match for the rematch. Any suggestions?
Krystin made her point, punctuated with a post-match speech about the perceived sleaziness in Rival Angels. While she’s on board with the agenda, it’s still someone else’s agenda that she’s following. Any guesses who’s pulling the strings? Even money is on Michael. We saw him change the match. Brooke could be behind it, pulling his strings, or even Gabrielle. I’ve heard Marina as a possible suspect as well.
Sara shows the rookie why you shouldn’t take your opponent for granted. Sara had the last laugh.
Well, not a big shock she lost, but at least she got the final word in ^_^ lol. I can forsee a rematch at the upcoming PPV, but I’m doubtful Sara will win then either. Maybe we can have a flashback to when she qualified for the TV tourney by beating Shannon McCourtso we can see her get a win =p lol.
Another interesting thing is that now maybe Brooke will want a piece of Sara to get her first win.
BOOOOOOOO!
Â
I cant believe Sara tapped out AGAIN!
Â
But on the plus side she whacked Krysten good 🙂 And I really hope next time, Sassy Sara gives Krysten whats coming to her. Hmmm grudge match grudge match… it can ONLY be one thing….
Â
MUD MATCH! Sassy and Sexy Sara in the mud pit with the “warrior against sleeze Krysten” in the sleeziest match there is! 😀 Plus who wouldnt wanna see Sara pin Krysten in the mud for a 3 count with some well placed A.S.S 😛
Â
The specialty match HAS to be a steel cage. Its always intense, both girls would be out of their elements since theres nowhere to run and as long as theres no pin/give up then Krysten cant win by submission which seems to be her favourite. Plus i think you could get a really panel out of a stare-down between the two as the cage is lowered over them. Cumoooon, you know you want to do it 😉
Cage matches are traditional first steps for special matches. Most of the others traditional starts aren’t going to work for this pair, although a strap match of some sort, where they’re tied together -might-. That sort usually comes because of some history of hit and run tactics though, or one of the pair having a tie to the design, like Nikoli Koloff and the Russian Chain or more recently Umaga and the Mongolian Strap.
Cage makes sense. I see Sara pulling that one off, then a no DQ match where Krystin gets another win, but because of something unsatisfying in it there’s a third and final round to the war…
Last Woman Standing. And poor Sara is doomed then. At least, that’s how I’d see it on a real feud. Not sure three matches between the same characters in a comic, especially one gotten a page at a time, would be something most folks would want to see.
Speaking oif Sara, I’m surprised she didn’t get in something else during the match. I have a feeling if she’d felt like she could turn it around at that point, she wouldn’t have submitted so quickly. She opted to take the loss and get some payback instead of fighting on. I don’t see that as being beaten so much as a tactical decision on her part. Look at how she’s standing with the chair and how she’s leaving. Both of those are strong positions, with no marks to suggest she’s hurting at all.
The more I see of Sara, the more she reminds me of an old favorite of mine, ‘Hot Stuff’ Eddie Gilbert. He’d lose matches on purpose to gain advantages later. He was proud of being able to outcheat anyone he was against, and as far as I’m concerned, he deserved Flair’s ‘dirtiest player in the game’ tag more than Slick Ric did. I’ve seen Eddie get searched three times before a match and still pull a weapon. And yes, they found weapons all three searches too. I think the reason Krystin has had such an easy time of Sara so far is Sara hasn’t been ready for her. Next time will be ugly because Sara knows Krystin better now, and she’ll be planning for it. It’s going to be a much better showing for the Schoolgirl then.
Still don’t want her to win until she stops slutting it up, but she’ll do better.
Last, but far from least, the mysterious caller that’s manipulating Krystin… the more I think of it, the more Michael starts to make sense. Something about him (like his affair with Brooke honestly) makes me think he’s made plays for other Angels and either he and Sara had something that she broke off, or she turned him down. It would explain why one slut gets slammed and another doesn’t. He’s doing the other slut. If he and Brooke break up and she’s suddenly a target too, I’ll be certain.
Sorry about a quick double post, but something else just caught my eye… the boos could use a little work. I’m sure they were meant for Krystin, just like she’s taking it, but it would be really easy for a Krystin fan to think they were for Sara and her fake submission and chairshot, since there’s no cheer for Krystin geing shut up like there would be for a heel getting put in her place, even by another heel. It’s how a lot of heels begin a face turn after all.
Just a point to consider.
I’m still behind Krystin, but I have to shake my head at that one. After knowing from experience that no one likes the hall monitor, she still chooses to turn her back on Sara and just ASSUMES the ‘punished’ brat is going to go away quietly? To quote Galaxy Quest, “Did you guys ever WATCH the show?” I may have a soft spot for you, Krystin, but next time keep an eye on the vanquished while you grandstand.
As for who her sponsor is, I doubt it’s Michael. It’s both too easy, and I don’t think he’s got the backbone to come up with this on his own. I also don’t think it’s Brooke. She wouldn’t give a rat’s chef hat about what Sara Valentine does (unless Salazen’s speculation about Michael’s wandering eye is correct), and I just don’t think she’s smart enough to come up with what I think is really going on here. My money is in the big boss being behind this.
And what I think is REALLY going on – Krystin is being played by the management. Take someone with a chip on their shoulder, fire them up on a personal crusade, and give them indirect support like having your lackey change the booking for them. Whether they succeed in their crusade or not, it gets the crowd’s attention, maybe hauls in some new fans. We’ve already heard roundabout that management likes to play games with new wrestlers to keep the fan base whipped up. What I’m curious to see is if Krystin continues to try and bring Sara Valentine to heel or moves onto someone else next.
I really want to see ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua VS Krystin Moline.. there.. Krystin Moline taps.. hahaha
Krystin is really a ‘Jericho’
Panel 3: Krystin said ” I won’t rest until these ignorant, disrespectful girls clean up their act.”
Look whose talking.. Krystin is also disrepectful.. 226-229.. that’s is disrecpectful..
Boooo to Krystin!!
Panel 6: Krystin is sleeping on the job… another ‘Jericho’ move there Krystin..
I’m kinda disppointed on Sara. Sara didn’t branded Krystin, or spray paint Krystin..
BOOOO MOLINE! BOOOOOO MOLINE!
and here’s one thing:
Sara is the last lady standing… look at Sar she’s walking away.. and look at Krystin knockout!
The winner don’t look like the winner here! if that’s the price for the winner, not worth it..
Krystin just won the match.. but loss the war.. hehe!
Boooooo!! Krystin!! Boooooo! Krystin!
what match? Krystin VS Sara!
A best of seven match electrified steel cage match!
at the end of the match! several powerhouse wrestler will attack the losser. then the losser gets fired!
hahahah
Go Sara!
If they were higher up the card, I’d say 3 Stages of Hell. If Sara wants to prove something, then a Submission match. I think Krystin would go for that, too, over any other gimmick. I don’t know what Sara’s submission rating is at, but I think should could surprise Krystin with a variation of Deadman’s Devil’s Gate (is that what he calls his judo triangle hold?) and, to continue with her school girl theme, she can call it Detention or something less stupid.
here’s one thought!
next time Krystin VS Sara..
Sara’s gimmick change: still ‘Sassy’ just the entrance:
Sara riding a pink motorcylcle bike, with fully armored and helmet.. with an entrance song “New Divide” by Linkin Park
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysSxxIqKNN0
http://nam206.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/female-motorbike-transformer-arcee-big1.jpg
then Sara parked the motor in front of the ring. then Sara leaps over the top rope and landed on her feet in the ring.. then Sara took off her helmet and armor.
still her wear is the same.. hmmmm? I’m still thinking…
Picky….yes and yes!
NappaandVegeta, a match at the PPV would be great, but I’m thinking we won’t have to wait that long, as there is one more week between this match and the PPV. Â Brooke wanting a piece of Sara is possible, or maybe she’ll want to join forces! XD
Hey Matt! Â Sara got her last licks in even in defeat, so she feels a bit better about that. I’m in the majority that seeing Krystin and Sara in a mud pit would be cool, but I think they’ll have something else in mind. 😉 Â Expect Sara to have a better showing in their next match because she’ll have studied for the right opponent.Â
T-M, I love the cage idea, and for all of the reasons you suggested. Â I think it would be a serious hurting on both of them. Â We’ll find out pretty soon what kind of match they opt for.
Hey, hey Salazen! Â Post as often as you like. 😛 Â You have great thoughts and insight per usual. Â I would say that Sara is smarter than she is athletically talented, if that makes sense so that logic holds. Â Another vote for cage, but strap would be pretty cool, though the other matches you suggested are mint too. Â Hotshot Eddie Gilbert and the first family!! Â Sting, Missy and Rick Steiner….man, that brings back some memories. Â Really, the only time that Sting was a bad guy. Â Michael as the puppet master is a good guess, especially because of what we know (Brooke). Â It’s even possible that Brooke and Krystin are working together on this as a swerve. Â Who knows? Â Sara does seem to fit Michael’s ‘tastes’ too. Â That is a very good catch about the crowd response. Â It was made purposefully ambiguous because as Justin and I were figuring this match out, we knew that there would be fans for both ladies so what we got is the crowd is split on who to support, even now, though they will probably increasingly side with Sara. Currently, Sara gets pops for her ‘trashy’ antics, not her in-ring ability at least as it stacks up against Krystin, who just came off a memorable comedy skit with Sabrina and Sun.
Cookie Ogre, Krystin made a painful, rookie mistake. Â She got way overconfident in her first win and paid the price. Â Probably a mistake she won’t make twice. Â Your attention to detail is marvelous in deducing what’s going on. Â I think, right or wrong, you’re going to enjoy the answers that are coming both with who’s pulling Krystin’s strings. Â Your logic behind your choices are solid, BTW.
Ha ha, MGC! Â Brenda would crush Krystin! Â It would probably be competitive for a little bit, but we call her ‘champ’ for a reason. No spray paint this match. Â Maybe next time, assuming Sara can? Â Yeah, even though Sara lost, she’s the one walking away on her own steam. Your ideas for a grudge match are good. Â Maybe we’ll see something like that? I also like the idea for Sara’s entrance, but knowing Sara, that’s just covering too much up. 😉
Hey Jamie! Â You are 100% correct on what type of match would be good for Sara if she wanted to prove something, but that’s just not really in her nature. Â The Devils triangle, or gogoplata is an awesomely nasty move that would put ANYONE out. Hmmmmm….
@Albone
Can you consider this:
Krystin squashed Sara Valentine?
just a thought and a question?
An “Out by the Bike Rack” Match. Fancy name for streetfight.
OMG! I totally didn’t see that coming!
I hope Krystin’s okay!
Well thanks, boss!
I think Krystin might surprise everyone in tech vs tech match. Sure, I’d win. But it would be a good show. I’m thinking maybe a Brit pro style exhibition. Best of five falls or 30 minute time limit. Not that it would last that long *winks*
Honestly, Krystin made Sara her bitch in that match, and the chairshot was the only way Sara saved any face. I guess the GM wants to make an example of Sara, so the feud will need to continue.
Hey albone, long time on comment, but I’ve been reading.
The perfect suggestion for a special match: Bra and Panties! Krystin can’t win by pin or submission, and she has to do the one thing she hates doing to win. Would be very interesting.
I like Shredster’s suggestion.. Bra and Panties..
But i would suggest, Bra and Panties will waith until later. who ever loss.. the loser will lose her shirt and pants, so it will show only her bra and panties.
this is kinda appriciation to humiliation match I would say..
let say Sara loss to Krystin.. so Sara will have to used a bra and panties,, now Sara being sassy, will give the fans a cheer. only bra and panties. Sara wears a bra and panties and made a sassy dance on stage.. she’ll be cheer by the audience..
on the other hand.. Krystin loss to Sara. it’s a total humilation, she claim to clear this things up, then she loss, she have to be like Sara.. the term ‘Humiliation’ (Quake 3), ‘Owning’ (DoTa allstar)
wow, you guys have good idea lol 😛
MGC, are you asking if this match was a squash? Sorry, but there won’t be a sanctioned in-ring Bra and Panties match.
Jamie, that’s a great name for a streetfight!
Hey Coyote Lovely! Â Krystin will have to see the medical trainers but after working on her back a bit, I think she’ll be okay. Â
LMAO champ! I like your thinking. Â I’m sure you’d help carry the match a bit too, eh? 😉
Great assessment, Ken. Â But you seem pretty sure that Gabrielle is behind this. Â You’re in good company and we will find out soon just who is pulling the strings of Krystin.
Hey Shredster! Â Glad you’re keeping up, I appreciate it. A Bra and Panties match would be entertaining, I can’t say that we’ll see something like that anytime soon.
I know it, Vanessa!!! 😛 Â It’s always great getting everyone’s great ideas.
@Albone
yes Albone.. Is match a squash match? Krystin squash Sara? just curious.. hehehe
No, I really don’t. Â Sara’s not a jobber and though the match was short, it was more in part to Sara being caught off guard by a new opponent than any lack of skill. Â Ask Matt what he thinks. XD
Sassy Sara isnt a jobber in anyway…. she rocks! As Albone said, she got caught out by the change in the match lineup. In a “fair” fight Sassy kicks ass! 🙂
Â
Nor was this match a squash… if anything next time, Sassy is likely to beat Krysten, she gave up sure.. but as sugested she walked away fine and left Krysten with a big big headache 😀
Â

Looks like the teacher got the lesson this time. Although I didn’t expect Sara to stick around after the match, Krystin should have kept her eyes moving, looking for any thing (say, maybe a ding-a-ling from the Hell Bellies) or any other potential threat. Krystin’s lucky that Sara didn’t stick around and kick her a few more times – is Sara lazy, or does she know enough to leave after she makes her point?
Here’s an insane idea – Krystin and Sara versus the Hello Kitty Cat Girls…Â Brass knuckles optional…
By the way, Albone, thanks again for the great story – I love the unexpected stuff you throw in!
Well said, Matt. XD
Hey GhostEraser! Â Krystin made a rookie mistake. Â Considering she’s a rookie, that’s not SO horrible. Â She is lucky that Sara didn’t lay the boots to her, but your latter reasoning is closer to why she took off. Â Great idea for a tag match, but I don’t think Krystin wants to see them again after her disasterous showing with Brooke against the Catgirls. Thanks for reading GhostEraser and the awesome comments. 😀
My first thought for a speciality match here was something like submission, one in which a technical specialist like Krystin should prove superior, and then follow that up with something violent and bloody in which Sara should prove superior, then have a final blow-out with them tied 1-each in speciality matches, something like an iron woman match.
