Page 240 – York Sisters
And thus ends Victoria’s bid in the Television Tournament. Assistance to Chloe De Sade and Jennifer Needles, of course.
Currently, Josephine and Franchesca York are in the ring, waiting impatiently on their popular Upstart opponents. Could they have heard the made-up story that Sun fed Sabrina, so Sabrina would accept the tag match? Or are the York Sister naturally indifferent/impatient?
In any case, Upstarts vs York Sisters on Monday!!  I think we need  a tag team name for Sabrina and Sun.  Any ideas?

NEW VOTING INCENTIVE!
Hmmmm, what could they be talking about?
I kind of like the York sisters. Are they twins?
Yes, they are. Get ready to see them in tag team action!
on mobile york sister vs sun and sabrina. going to wwe tour heheh
Have fun, MGC!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems there are too many heels in this promotion!
Let’s see, Hell’s Belles are heels definitely. Damage Inc. are also heels. So how come York Sisters who basically has break up from Damage Inc., opposing Hell’s Belles, are still considered as heels ??
And then we also have Tower of Terrors, Susy Love Cetina, Sara Valentine, Amanda Breaker, Angel Soprano (who is about to join Hell’s Belles), Monica Rumble (opposing Upstarts, so she is also in the verge of turning heel) are all heels. Also between Upstarts, Sun is going to join Damage Inc. so she’s automatically about to turn heel. Aphrodite is almost a full heel now. Krystin … well she’s been targeting Sara Valentine and has been attacking her viciously, showing a heel personality.
My gosh!!! So the only major face in this company is just ….. Sabrina ???? It’s her against the world then!! Other girls like Victoria Buckingham, Xtina Carpenter, Loretta Diaz (who has just turn face), Catgirls, and Brenda Rua are perhaps faces. But they show very little personality so I can’t be sure.
Albone, please feature more faces! At least give them some personalities. So far, a lot of characters that we know their personalities are all heels, or on the verge of turning heels! Also, how about showing us the champ. I think we never see the champ in ring action since …… oh I dunno, maybe since THE BEGINNING OF THE COMIC!
been waiting for this for while now. This chapter looks good up to this point. Maybe Sun convinced Sabrina to fight dirty? Maybe those feet aren’t Sabs and Sun at all. Whatever it is , can’t wait. Chloe Desade…. is that a play on the Marquis Desade? and if so is she into the same stuff? I think theres a lot of heels because usually characters are just more fun if theres a little bad in them. The Rock got popular because of his heel turn. Shawn Michaels (my favorite of all time} was at his best as a heel with trips and the clique, Degeration X. Don’t have any ideas for a tag team name, but I’ll try.
I weep, weep for poor Victoria!
The York sisters are funny, I would elaborate but I am quite tired. Great page none the less!
Meatball isnt a so much of a heel as shes just annoyed. Theres a huge history of 2 faces competing against each other in wrestling. And usually when someone is taking out a heel it means that theyre a face. as for other characters, ill admit that the majority are heels but then Buckingham at least is almost definately a face at the moment
Â
as for this page of the comic, dammit Vicky!!!! whyd you let her beat you??? also, love the shoes xD
I agree, there are many heels in this comic… But hey, Sabrina needs some opponents 😛
And I think Sun can be considered as a face also (at least so far… Until she joins Damage, Inc.)
“Let’s be bad guys” => LOL, very good :)))
Sabrina can’t work heel! Sabrina is the Steamboat of RA!
Oh yeah, feel the anticipation! Mondays are actually starting to look good again! As for a tag team name, Ultra Dragons is probably too cheesy – but what about “the two high flyin’ high kickin’ upstarts of doom”! Or just “highers” for short…
As for faces, heels and jobbers, I’ve been away from WWE so long that I still use the “good guy” “bad guy” labels. So for me, two wrestles can battle and one doesn’t have to automatically be a bad guy if he (or she) is wrestling a good guy.
Hey thanks PS2! The boss promises me some face time. Besides, I think it’s in my contract – but who reads those. Right? Still RA, is about a small group of fems trying to make it, trying to get spots for themselves in a nitch that’s uber competetive. They don’t even know all the levels of the game yet and it’s a hoot watching them find out. The hard way! *laffs*
Yes, more time and personality for faces, please! Good girls rock!
As for a tag team name, just spitballing but how about Shooting Stars? It’s not just a reference to Sun’s finisher(?), but more along the lines of “fast, shiny, and could burn out quick if they’re not careful”. Also it alliterates, which is always good.
I like shooting stars…. Shooting has more than one meaning in this case, also for takedowns and and Suns Finisher. Both are high flyers, and fan favorite (at least Sun is liked in the real world as much if not more than Sabrina) so stars would be pretty appropriate to add.
Hey ps2kid! Â There are a lot of heels, but I don’t know that they’ve had more time than any of the other faces you mentioned. Â Susy Love, Amanda Breaker and Angel Soprano haven’t really had anything more than bit parts. Â Not overwhelmingly more than say, Professor McCourt, Veronica Silver, Xtina or Victoria. But really the story of Rival Angels is the Upstart girls. Â For instance, when the Graphic Novel comes out next month, the cover will have Sabrina, Brooke, Krystin and Sun as opposed to anyone else. Â Sabrina vs the world (save for a few friends) isn’t so odd, is it? Â Is it so different then Spider-man, Harry Potter or Tommy Gavin from Rescue Me? Â Wouldn’t it be weird if they devoted issues of Spider-man to Robbie Robertson? Â I think that there will be time to show some of the other wrestlers, but the main focus will be the Upstart girls and anyone who interacts with them. Â However, next Monday Night Meltdown will have Sabrina and Xtina….both faces, fighting each other.
Rorschach, you can count on those feet belonging to the genuine articles. Will Sabrina fight dirty for Sun? Â Hmmmm. Â Chloe De Sade is a purposeful name and everything that it implies. Â Did you notice she likes to fight dirty and use weapons? 😉 Â
Thanks Prestwick. Â I knew that you’d feel Victoria’s loss. 😛
T-M, we’ll be seeing more of Mighty Monica in the future so her face/heel-dom will be better cast. Victoria, definitely a face. Â She did try her best to win, but the Belles superior numbers overcame her chances.
Jul, glad you enjoyed the banter with Sun and Sabrina. 🙂 Â Sun’s kind of in a different light. Â I know people enjoy seeing her, so that’s what really counts.
Amen, bd!!
Heh Ghosteraser, glad you’re looking forward to Monday. Â ‘Ultra Dragons’ isn’t bad. 😉 Â Actually, you present a common challenge of mine and that is keeping Rival Angels smart enough for wrestling fans but accessible enough for non-wrestling fans. Â
Champ! Â Who doesn’t love the champ? Â XD Â Look for champ sightings next chapter, and of course the PPV. Â Right now, Rival Angels is about the bottom rung. Â Sabrina’s working her butt off just to compete for a shot at the TV belt, so the limelight and prestige that the champ enjoys will be revealed over time. Â
Cookie Ogre, I hear you about the good girls. Â They do rock!! Â It just so happens that on the next card, Sabrina will be facing Xtina. Â Both faces. Â Kind of wonder how they’ll get along. 😉 Â Shooting Stars is a great name! Â It certainly does work on many levels there. Â And who doesn’t love alliteration?
“Ultra Dragon” it has the whole Rated RKO-ness about it. Their theme music can start with an old Godzilla roar and then go into somethine young and hip. Maybe that Ga-Ga chick. I dunno. The new music eludes me. Though, I still need to pick up the new Green Day (preferably before road trip on Sunday)
I just arrived from the WWE tour.. It was Uver fan..hahahah!
waaa!! We can see ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua on PPV… YEAH!! Who’s her opponent?
Panel 2: can people identify, whose who? I think francesca is leaning on the turnbuckle, while Josephine is in front? am I right?
Panel 3: who said shut your mouth?
by the Albone:
Francesca York finisher? can it will be reveil?
Do the have a double team finisher? I mean the York Sisters?
I like ”Ultra Dragon” for Sun and Sab team 😛
That match will be realy interesting, wander how the York girls fight as a tagteam. They should take care cause Sab and Sun are realy two good friends, and both are awesome hightflyer wrestlers.
(U.N)Sabrina and Sun…Ultra Ninjas
Shoujo S… S for Sabrina and Sun..

Albone
Â
Ah? mistake name.. Victoria York?
Currently, Josephine and Victoria York…Â it should be Francesca
Â
here’s one question,
Is Josephine York, the better wrestler than Francesca York?
Can’t wait to Monday, Sarbina and Sun, Tag Team.
Jamie, I highly recommend the new Green Day CD. Â Actually, I already do have their tag team music picked out. Â In fact, I had it picked out July of 2007. 😉 Â I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.Â
Thanks for the catch, MGC. Â Fixed now! Â You can tell the York Sisters apart by the part in their hair. 😛 Â Not much, but they purposefully make it hard to tell who’s who. Â Finishers and stats are in the Rival Angels Graphic Novel, but you’ll have to wait til it comes up in the series. Isn’t it a better surprise that way? lolÂ
Svan, the York girls are taking them lightly now, but I don’t think they’ll be so cavalier for long. Â
Adam B, glad you’re looking forward to the match!
I’d want my entrance music to be “Phenomenon” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Jamie, I was lobbying hard for that to be Brooke’s ring music. I don’t know if Albone bit.
That would’ve been cool! I think Brooke is more the bubbly pop song than alt rock, though.
I figured once she exposed her cunning (wow, that’s a dangerous phrase where Brooke’s concerned!), she’d warrant the harder edge of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. ‘Pre-Goddess’ Brooke was probably Kylie Minogue material.
Yeah I dunno, I’m just tired seeing a lot of heels getting a lot of TV time. Like what happen in WCW back then with nWo, or currently in TNA with that Main Event Mafia shit. It was like you can’t get any satisfaction at all watching the heel standing tall all the time. Even if a face win the match, the heel will have an immediate retribution and end up with the heel standing tall despite losing the match. What happen with the old school ‘nice guy finish last thing ?’ It used to be like that. But since WCW, it was like ‘bad guys won all the time’.
I thought so, In that case I don’t want know where that Kendo stick was was before she broke it over Rumbles head. This looks like the tag match will be interesting, can’t wait to see Sabrina and Sun back in action.
Okay… first off as to the heel issues… it’s the fault of the modern fanbase really. Most fans prefer heels and heelike tweeners to old fashion faces. You gte more Stone Colds than Ricky Steamboats any more.
Second… now that I’m more rested than I was last posting, I’ve noticed a few things.
Only seeing Sun and Sabrina from the boots? Could they be dressed a bit differently than we’re used to? Like they’re a regular team perhaps instead of just two stars thrown together, like when Brooke and Krystin were put together? Not identical, obviously since you can see Sabrina’s traditional blue pants legs and onlt boots for Sun but maybe some common theme. After all, it’s obvious from a previous Sabrina match that she and Sun train together. Maybe they had plans to work together as a team at some point. I expect we’re going to see some actual team moves from this pair and it’s going to surprise the overconfident Yorks who are expecting a repeat of the Catgirls vs the last pair of Upstarts.
That said, I have a feeling we may see a beginning of strain between Sun and Sabrina, at least for a while, and quite possibly the first pro loss for Sabrina. She likes to talk to much during her matches. She’ll say something about the lie Sun told to arrange this and the Yorks won’t know a thing. Mental slip follows, either from Sun being distracted by embarrassment or Sabrina being pissed her friend would trick her. York victory.
Now, third… a tag name. I considered a play on the Angel theme at first. Nothing really fit them. Then I considered them. Both like to go airborn. Both are fast and seem at their best when things are moving. Both have off the rope finishers. I considered ‘Angel Air’ and other variations on the air force style theme, but again, that’s not quite right, plus it would feel like a rip on the Jeff Hardy-Rey Rey team up that was called WWEs Air Force. Then it hit me. The perfect name for such a hyperactive pair.
Kenetics
@Jamie and Justin, Brooke being Brooke, she is never confined to one song. Â “Toxicity,” by Local H is her main music, but like Triple H, a second theme song isn’t out of the question, especially Phenomenon.
I know what you mean ps2kid. Â Back in the early 90’s/late 80’s before the Horseman were cool, that happened a lot and really bummed me out. Â All of the underhanded tactics, especially concerning the TV Title, Â are supposed to contrast with Sabrina’s code and work ethic, so hopefully that comes off. Â The problem though is that all of the petty, underhanded tactics are starting to wear on Sabrina. Will she crack under the pressure?
Rorschach, Sun and Sabrina in action on Monday, for sure!
Hey Salazen! Â I think you nailed it with today’s fans. Â Remember when matches would normally go 15-20 minutes? Â Not with today’s attention span. Â No matter what their outfits end up, you can bet that Sabrina and Sun will be more prepared than Brooke and Krystin, but I know you expect that. Â Strain on their friendship, eh? Â I won’t say anything further, only, I think you’ll find this match interesting. Â I believe Kenetics to be a most excellent name. Â I think it’ll find its way on a fan’s sign in the crowd during this match. 😉
Awesome. 😀 Thinking about it, and how a lot of folks think nowadays… maybe Kenetix would work to, just for the visual edgy thing that throwing random Xs into words that barely sound like they could have them brings for so many. I like it better spelled right, but hey, that’s me. I like Ricky Steamboat and longer matches too. 😉
In fairness alot of major matches still last a while, and alot of those are the higher rated ones, its just smaller scale matches that are getting shorter and shorted. Besides which, some of the most famous matches have been the short ones, lets face it Hogan V Andre at Wrestlemania 3 – rated as one of the greatest matches in all of history – was only about 6/7 minutes between bells (and i personally dont rate it as being that amazing but thats just my personal opinion) while if you look at Shawn Michaels V Undertaker at 25 it was a much longer match and gave you alot more suspense through it. i do agree that long matches are better, and that there should be more, but i dont think that theyre as much of a dying breed as youre suggesting Al 🙂
Now we’ve hit one of my pet peeves. What ever happened to the best of 3 falls match? What happened to your most falls match? Sometimes you’ll see these in Brit pro, catch style, or matches in Japan. You used to see the luchadors do it. And a 5 minute match? Come on! That’s a crush.
And btw – 30+ posts?!?!? WooHOO!!!!
Â
All that had to happen for a 30+ post page was for victoria to spread her legs 😛
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wait a minute, what’s going on did I miss something or did I just see two panels of the Victoria vs Kat with start or middle just a cheesy ending!!!! Cmon, Cmon,,,,
Heehee Let’s be bad guys. I hope I’m not the only one who was lame enough to enjoy that line.
Nope Katy, you’re not the only one. 🙂
