Page 274 – Meltdown
It would seem that the certain parties have access to the Sabrina-Sun blowup and it seems that some of the fans in attendance caught wind of it too. The internet is powerful especially for the wrestling ‘smarks.’
What do you think of the wrestling lineup? Some return matches, a TV tournament semi-final match and a contract signing. Not to mention there just might be a few unannounced wrestlers showing up. Heh.
We kick it off with Monica getting a rematch against Brooke, I mean, Aphrodite. If you remember, Aphrodite was able to pull a fast one on Monica and got the win! Not to mention the first thing Brooke did when she changed her wrestling persona to ‘Aphrodite’ was beat up Monica so there’s a lot of incentive for Monica to win. Can she do it?
God Jeff Crew is more annoying than Michael Cole. And that takes alot. Talk about trying to beat a dead horse before a match even takes place. Basic set up page for the card to come. These are always some of my favorite parts of the comic. The wrestling. 🙂 Can’t wait to see all of these matches. Bring em on!
on mobile
yeah! FINALLY Brenda Rua! yeah
here my bet..
I go for Josephine York to win..
Sara Valentine for the win.. kick Krystin’s ass…
I go for ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina mancino for the win..
‘Mighty’ Monica Rumble, will win..
Boooo to Brooke
Brenda Rue makes an appearance!
Sara Valentine needs a win and to put Krystin in her place but I have a feeling that the many Valentine fans will be disappointed. Boo to Brooke indeed but I don’t think Monica will win either. Boo to Brooke again!
Aaaah, back to business and some wrestling matches… I like the way you described the matches – and the opposite views of the speakers!
I can’t wait to see these events 🙂
Black Widow, eh. Kinda reminds me of Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria/Tara). Don’t tell me that her finisher is …… Widow’s Peak ?
Albone? help please?
Â
Stats please? on Black Widow?
Weight:?
Height:?
Wrestling style:?
finisher:?
Â
Here’s one question?
Â
Why did ‘GoDDess Aphrodite’ Brooke Lennox invited Sabrina and Krystin into the penthouse? I mean she should have invited Amanda Breaker in. not Sabrina and Krystin.. I mean, AManda and Brooke are friends right?
Â
Why the hell? is Jeff Crew doing those ‘duh?’ Â comments.. like in panel 3: do you think Sabrina will be in Sun’s corner?
here’s my answer: Is Sabrina a member of Damage Inc.. Come On!”
Â
“Come On Monica!!” WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
“LET’S GO! MONICA!”
I’m excited of the contract signing.. ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua VS Black Widow…
Perhaps Monica can take a page from Bryan Danielson’s book and kick Brooke’s f*cking head in. She deserves THAT much at least.
What a great lineup of matches! My guess is that we’ll see something between Sabrina and Sun – one will help the other in some way. I just have a hard time believing that BFF’s can drop the “forever” part so easily… The match between the hall monitor and the school ‘ho’ should be very interesting! I’m hoping that Brook tastes the mat and gets a big helping of crow…
Sorry for the long absence. By the way, great art work, as always. Looks like Brook will be having a cleavage war with the Widow and Rua later in the program!
Wow! Quite a card for the night. This is a PPV lineup itself; the fans are really lucky. They’re going to get a hell of a show – maybe even at the contract signing. You never know…
hmm lets see then. the Champ is HERE! can’t see her losing her debut (to us anyway) so the Widow will be going down. i call shenanigans with the York Sisters and a victory over the Dragon who is now Brina-less and may have no backup during the match as Damage Inc sees what their newest recruit can do on her own. (besides i need an upstart loss thrown in here). Plus it’ll drive home the fact storywise of Sun finally feeling the in-ring consequences of being out on her own wityhout the other Upstarts.
 Normally i’d have gone with Sara over Krystin but after the last few pages i think Krystin will pull it off as Jake 2.0 (the wrestler not the TV show) continues her methodical plan to get to the top. Brina will win her match one way or another- probably DQ as Hell’s Angles get invovled and cost Xtina the match which may end up giving Brina her first non-upstart ally as a result. As for the openner everything points in the favor of Brooke winning- size, backup, cheating skills which clearly means Monica will overcome the odds- so naturally i’ll pick Brooke to win as a counter-swerve. 🙂
hmmm Well I’m pretty sure Brooke is gonna win. Sun should prob. win too to push her as a heel. I realllllly want Sara to finally win but I doubtful. The only outcome I could see is someone (mayheps Jenny Needles) interfering. I mean, Krystin did mock her the skit and it’d give both of them something to do at the PPV. Sadly though, I still think the Sassy one goes 0-4 ;.; lol. The last Semi-final could be interesting as I’m sure Angel Soprano will play a role, maybe soften Sab up for the PPV <<.
Would someone be willing to enlighten me on something? What does a contract signing entail in this context? Obviously it’s got to be something more than it sounds, two lovely women in tights signing legal forms might appeal to ME but I’m not sure a wrestling crowd would find that enough.
The card looks great, Albone, I’m looking forward to seeing the action! Particularly I’m thrilled to finally get a good look at Madame Champion (looking great, milady!), and I’m curious to see if Sarah Valentine has learned anything since her last match. But first, I AM READY FOR RUMBLE!!! ::passes out the cookies::
Ha ha RAWF! Â Jeff is a fun one to write and usually people hate or love him. I’m glad that you enjoy the matches and I really think you’re going to love these.
MGC, I love the predictions. Â Sabrina’s the only Upstart girl you think will win! XD Â Brooke might’ve invited Amanda back to the penthouse if she were around, but who’s to say that those two haven’t partied there before? Jeff’s just trying and succeeding in being annoying. Â The Black Widow’s stats in good time, though I’m sure Brenda would say that Black Widow is *much* bigger. 😉
Right on Picky! Â Win or lose, I think these matches are going to be good but great predictions. And yes, a champ sighting! Â More to come from here before the night is out.
Hey Jul! Â Glad you liked the update and the it’s presentation. 🙂
PS2kid, that’s a good comparison between Black Widow and Victoria/Tara, but just like Brenda, the Black Widow’s a friend of mine. Â Maybe she’ll show up here too? O_o
Wise Mankey, not a Brooke fan I see. XD Â Monica is very fired up for this match, so she’ll see if she can honor your request.
WB Ghosteraser, and just in time too! Ah yes, possibly some more between Sun and Sabrina despite what Jeff might think. Â The Hall Monitor and Schoolgirl should be a fantastic match. Â Great tag line too for that! *swipe* Brooke and Monica are going to start us off right too. Â I don’t know who’d win the cleavage war between Brooke, Black Widow and Brenda, but damn it’d be fun to find out.
Champ! I’m glad you like the card! Â It’d be a PPV night if we had you on the card wrestling. Â The contract signing will be fun because we both know that Black Widow will behave herself. 😉
Say it, jpiv! Â The Champ IS here indeed. Â I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear your assessment about her. Â XD Â I love your predictions and for the fact that you are taking into account swerves and counter-swerves! Â It should be a great Monday Night Meltdown.
Hey Nappaandvegeta! Â I always love to read the predictions from the readers. Â I see you’re in Sara’s corner and really, she does need a win. Â Can it happen against Krystin in a Extreme Rules match? Â Good thinking too that Jennifer might be looking for some revenge. Â She’s kinda dopey but she’ll be gunning for anyone that mocks her or the Belles. Ah-ha! Â Great memory too with Angel Soprano. Â We haven’t seen her in a bit. Â Could she be appearing tonight or will she hold off for the PPV?
Ninja’d by Cookie Ogre! Â The contract signing is something that I think pro wrestling took from boxing, though with boxing, the big thing seems to be the weigh-in. Â It’s fair to assume that there will be some drama in that segment of the night between Brenda and Bitsy (Black Widow). Â Good question about Sara Valentine. Â I’ll give you a hint that we’ll be hearing from both Sara and Krystin before their match starts and why it’s an Extreme Rules match.
Hehee Thanks folks! Your interest is really nice to see. Now If I could just get a cookie from Ogre!
Yes, Bitsy’s pretty big all right. All over. She’s not the biggest here. But what she lacks she makes up in tricky meaness. And ok. Ok. I’ll grant she’s got some skill too. Just not as much as she thinks – or needs, to beat me. And that’s the bottom line!
And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Brooke come out to stick her cleavage where it doesn’t belong. If she does she’ll find she’s outclassed there too. Now sure, she does what she has to in order to get face time. But she might not like where I stick it LoL
Oooh, nice card. Let’s see, if I know anything about wrestling, “contract signing” generally translates to “smack-talk that degrades to table-flipping and fist-fighting,” we’ll see how that goes, hehe.
As for Sun and Josie York, I predict a win for Sun. If Sun were to lose, it seems it’d much too easy to get an “I told you so” feeling about what she did, and it seems too early for that to happen, if it will indeed happen.
Next, Krystin and Sara in a no DQ match (which is pretty great, by the way, I’m looking forward to that one). I’d put money on Sara for this one, somebody probably brought up this point, but I don’t imagine the Definition of Technitian will be very comfortable in a no DQ match, whereas that seems right up the Sassy Schoogirl’s alley. Plus, a win for Krystin seems like that would pretty much be the end of the feud, which I would like to see last longer, so here’s hoping Sara pulls it out, hehe.
I think I saw elsewhere in the comments that the Hell’s Belles will interfere in Xtina and Sabrina’s match, getting Sabrina the win via DQ so that they can get at her at the PPV. I’m of like mind for that prediction. I also like the idea of Xtina becoming an ally of Ultragirl’s because of it. “Sabrina and Xtina” does have a nice ring to it, hehe.
Finally, we have Monica and Broo- I mean, Aprhodite. I could see Monica pulling this one out, though I think Brooke needs to get a bit more over and the way to do that is with a win, which will probably come by way of help from Amanda.
Whew, that was a long post, hehe.
Hell yea..lets see some action! Don’t get me wrong Albone you craft some really good background and are a master at the plot set up but your action for the script in the ring really shines. A no DQ match also = hurray! I got my “Ho!y Sh!t” chants ready and a OH MY GOD ready to go! I am pre-requesting an arabian face buster and a point to the clouds!!! (lol)…j/k
I want Sun to lose.. not because I am mad at her.. but I think I want us all to see how damn good the Yorks can be.. they didn’t get kicked out of Damage Inc. correct.. they left.. so she has to be pretty good? Also I think it would set up a pretty good story for Sun (esp if she is the only upstart to not win).
Good chance to show Krystin can work well.. I hope she runs over Sara like a freight train 🙂
I am hoping for a good clean professional Sabrina win.. one she works for.. even fights off a run in (wouldn’t a brooke run in FOR sabrina be a nice lil swerve!*heh*)
I hate to say I feel like I don’t know anything about Rua… but wow the championship fight not even the main event.. maybe a Rua run in on Sabrina would be a bigger swerve *ponders* I wonder how she feels about Sabrina’s push.. I hope we get a nice long Rua match.. I really want to know more about her champ.. AND the black widow being the number 1 contender and all.. I assume at least?
Great art on this episode too by the way 🙂
You guys like the fan’s sign in the first panel? XD
Champ is strong, Champ is wise.
Hey Chris! Â I think you got the gist of a traditional contract signing but this being the first ever shown in Rival Angels, you never really can be sure what to expect. 😉 Â Nice predictions, it’ll be fun seeing the matches unfold. Â The No DQ match certainly would favor Sara, at least on paper. Â The genesis for that match for those two will be explained. Â Sabrina and Xtina does have a nice ring to it, eh? Â And they’re both good girls to boot! Â Love the posts, long, short or otherwise and I think everyone else would agree. 😉
oooo just the signing.. I see I see.. I wrote so much I forgot it was just a signing with Rua 🙂 Still want to see a lot of her.. and get to know her better
nice line up, expect there not gonna just being a signing tonight. i eman when at a “contact signing” has it ever ended with just that?
i expect Sun to win cause well 1. the banana sisters have had no luck and aren’t much of a threat. 2 Sun DOES have Damage Inc with her now and they probbly love to help those 2 end up on thier backs agian  lol
As for Sara vs Kystin, if Sara can’t win this time she pretty much a lsot cause, cause 4 in a row , geez.
I see Sabrina winning tho doesn’t eman i wouldn’t love to see teh goody 2 shoes tapping to the sharpshooter.
Lastly the lil meatball i expect might finally get her win, she had the win stolen from her in her 2 matchs on here so far but i’m sure she not gonna be making any mistakes this time . she more the likely does NOT wnat to lose 2 in a row to Brooke, hell even one loss to ehr must ahve had her steaming.
Ninja’d by Drew!! Â Thanks man! Â Glad you like the art, the update and the return to action. Â Thanks for the nice comments about the story aspect as well. Â I appreciate it. Â Also glad you’re looking forward to the matches. Â They do look fun, hey? Â I think a lot of eyes are on Sun. Â They want to see what she’ll do as an official member of Damage Inc. Â Lots of different angles in that match, current vs former Damage members. Â You are right on, the York girls did leave Damage Inc on their own, which didn’t sit well with the boss, Yvonne Carmichael. Â We’ll see who gets the last word on this one. Â Krystin and Sara should be one of the highlights of the evening, at least that’s how I see it. Â Brooke is always entertaining. 😛 Â Sabrina and Xtina should be very exciting. Â Can’t say too much more. 😉 Â The Champ’s contract signing…well, you just get a feeling that its not going to be your run-of-the-mill contract signing.
Ninja’d all over, this time by Jenn! Â Hey Jenn! Â Solid commentary and predictions all around. Â I think you are going to enjoy this chapter and edition of Monday Night Meltdown. Â I’d say more, but I don’t want to ruin anything. 😉
Â
Heya :) I like that card me too, awesome. Mmmm  Brenda and Black widow, realy amazing… two georgious strong women here ^^. Hey i just thing about that.. Brenda you have a real pic somewhere?? i would like to see 😛
Â
I think you’ve got a few months of comics right there.
Is this the biggest card the comic has had? Impressive!
My predictions:
* Monica Rumble via a little help from a new friend. She wouldn’t have taken the match if she didn’t have something planned.
* Sun is too much for her opponent.
* Krystin Moline just because Rival Angels is racists against naughty school girls. 😉
* Sabrina in the semis. I don’t think Xtina can handle her.
Â
I’m okay with Dawn Elison announcing the match between Krystin and Sara as No Disqualification match. But I don’t like that “EXTREME RULES” word hanging in the background. C’mon, it’s WWE’s half ass way of saying Hardcore match (since WWE is rated PG now and maybe afraid of saying “hardcore” since it can be related to sex and violence).
Predictions, Aphrodite will lose this match. Unless she actually has some wrestling skill rather than just being a strong person, that won’t cut it against a more technical one… Only way Strength would win would be in keeping a person on the mat.
The NDQ match is going to be one hell of a match. Those I put up with Cage Matches and the Definition of Technician is going to need to play dirty to beat her opponent who will stop at nothing to rub it in her face…
Sun’s match, I wonder if the rest of Damage Inc will show up to put the York sister in her place. No one leaves Damage Inc without some payback and the Tag team match won’t be enough for Damage Inc, in my opinion. We’ll see if Sun sticks with them or not, I’m sure there will be bad blood a brewin’
Sabrina in her Semi-Final match… It will be back and forth, but at some point Sabrina will lose… Will it be this round? With the way her emotions are right now I doubt her head will be in the game. Maybe Sun will throw a few barbs her way in the form of her pre-fight interview… Would the piss Sabrina off or light a match under her …
Better late than never chiming in, huh? Looks like a great show lined up. Going to be a lot of fun.
Â
That said.. I like the look of the Black Widow. Sorry champ, but my heel supporter just kicked in strongly on seeing her. Good luck avoiding being tangled in that spider’s web. Unless she does something really craptastic at the signing, I think I know who I’m pulling for in the title match come the PPV.
Â
As for the matches… Sun v York. Normally, I’d be all over Sun winning this, but she’s not used to the same sort of emotional baggage that Brina is. Sabrina has never had her head fully in a match when it started since she got here, I don’t think. Certainly not a solo one, and the Yorks picked on Sun a lot in the tag match. Considering those facts, unless Damage Inc shows up, it’s a York win. If they do show, it’s still a York win, but by DQ.
Â
WOO! Krystin makes another appearance! While the script writer in my head says it’s time for a Schoolgirl victory to lead to a last minute addition to the PPV, as the founder of the Krystin fan club I can’t go against her winning and putting this feud to bed for good.
Â
Next up is Ultragirl and her next win. Sorry. Storyline needs her to win for the double appearance at the PPV, plus she’s got some mad to work out. I think she’s going to start out distracted, as usual, but then take out some more of her frustration at what happened with Sun on Xtina. Considering the manipulative nature of the Marquis, I could even see interference by the Helle’s Belles… attacking Xtina to be certain they get two rounds of thrashing Sabrina at the PPV. Sadly, unless this happens, this looks to be the least interesting part of the card to my tastes. It feels to obvious.
Â
And last we have the match of physical v mental midget: Rumble v Aphrodite. Yeah. I’m sure Monica has something in mind and thinks she’s got an edge… but I don’t see it being enough. Monica is going to get Amanda Breaker tossed from ringside. Aphrodite is going to be off balance for a little, letting the Tiny Terror get an advantage, until a desperation slam from Brooke, likely a kick to the head or a sudden scoop and driving move, puts Monica on the ground long enough for the Battling Bimbo to recover and turn things around. And, sadly enough, this match actually catches me more than any other. That’s right, even more than Krystin’s match because I generally find extreme rules matches to be quite disappointing.
LoL Salazen! Bitsy and I have a history and have each beat the other. Ya never know who’ll come out ahead in any given match; I’ll just say I’m ahead, but she’s won the last couple in a row. That’s one reason she’s here.
Sven, I’ll see what I can do. Meanwhile y’all can go here:Â http://profiles.yahoo.com/brenda_rua
Svan, the championship match between Brenda and Black Widow is going to rule. Â As you can see above, the champ posted a link but you can always catch up with her too in her own Appreciation thread on the Rival Angels forum. 🙂
Ken, you might be right! Â LOL Â I haven’t counted up all of the pages for it yet, but it’s going to be a good amount. Â The PPV is going to be insane.
Jim, it’s probably the biggest, as far as meaning and star power yet so its fitting that its leading into the PPV. Love the predictions!
PS2kid, I would’ve listed NO-DISQUALIFICATION in the background, but it didn’t work graphically. Â NO-DQ would’ve worked but I didn’t want to stump my non-wrestling readers. Â Extreme Rules seemed to fit fine, but its basically going to be labeled a No-DQ match from here on in.
Kurt! Â You got some great predictions there and I think you’re really going to enjoy the events unfolding. Â You are 100% on the money about Damage Inc’s thinking with the Yorks and the tag match from before. Â Your breakdown of the No-DQ match is solid too. Â Expert analysis! Â Your other breakdowns are good too, but I have to be careful about what I comment about that. 😉
Hey Salazen! Â Never too late to post, man. Fun is the name of the game here. Â The Black Widow is going to be a very serious contender for the belt, so you’ve got a good eye. Â Will she be game enough to take the belt from the Champ? Â The contract signing should be fun. XD You have some solid analysis here especially with the data that you have. Â I’m really looking forward to your comments during this card, especially since there may be….a surprise here or there. 😉
Champ, win or lose, it’s going to be an awesome match, which is very easy for me to say. 😛
Sorry about the wait, milady, had to make a fresh batch. Salazen snagged the last one when I wasn’t looking. ::slides over a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies::
So who is butting in the contract signing? or is there gonna be major sparks on the TV belt championship?
Thanks 😉
Cookie Ogre is the cookie hookup.
Daeron, that is an excellent question about the contract signing. Â Could someone else be looking to butt in on it?
Somebody butting into the contract signing, eh? Hmmm, perhaps someone we haven’t really seen before? I can’t imagine anyone that we’re very familiar with showing up. But we shall see in the coming weeks, I imagine, hehe.
