That degenerated pretty quickly, didn’t it? Not much love for the opponent of their hometown hero, Chloe De Sade which is obviously very new for Sabrina. How much will it affect her?
Next Update: The start of the show!
Big 10 Contest!
College football is in full swing and I thought it was time for a contest. Based on common knowledge of where the Upstart Girls have been, which Big 10 schools could they cheer for? For example, I live in Milwaukee, WI and have never lived, went to school, or worked anywhere else, so my one and only Big 10 school would be Wisconsin. To start you off, since they all live and work in Chicago, one school would be Illinois. Can you name the rest? List all of the schools that they could root for and the first person to correctly list all of them will win a custom sketch card from me of any Rival Angels character.
EDIT: WE HAVE A WINNER! inconcordium got it right and posted first.
Purdue, Indiana-Sabrina’s home state
Penn state-Sabrina’s college
Michigan State, Michigan-Sun’s home state
Minnesota-Krystin’s home state
Northwestern, Illinois-Upstart Girls living in Chicago, working for Rival Angels.
Voting Incentive!
My friend, Nancy did the most amazing picture of Sabrina and Brooke fighting each other. Check out the amazing.
Hehe, “I submit to you,” outstanding. Quick thinking on Brooke, she knew exactly where to go for a good verbal low blow.
Here’s my guesses at the teams the Upstart Girls might root for:
Illinois
Northwestern
Penn State
Indiana
Minnesota
Purdue
Michigan
Michigan State
haha!!
‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini first booo..
I though this will never happen in the comic.. the booo will only happen in fanfics.. but waaa!! ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini being booo
by the way
is that really De Sade stadium? I mean own by Chloe? hehehe!
Brooke’s Panel, Krystin’s Panel and Sun’s panel.. they all cheer them, until..
Panel 7: Sun got booo’ed off!!
Panel 8: Brooke got booo’ed
tied had changes..
Panel 6: Sabrina being booo’ed.. Sabrina still being face.. and said thanks..
but Panel 8: I think Sabrina should not insult the fans.. coz she’s not a heel!!
I can understand Chloe can insult the fans.. coz being a heel.. but Sabrina..
Panel 7: Ultra Whore.. that’s very rude “IMO” UltraSuck, is mild and piercing.. hehehe
Love the banner: Long Live De Sade..
I really like o see, when Chloe De Sade arrive.. and the fans cheers Chloe.. even if Chloe snob them..
Even ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua loss in Paris, France against Chloe..

ALL HAIL ‘REINE BLANCHE’ CHLOE DE SADE… ALL FALL TO THE HELL’S BELLES
Just based on hometowns I’m gonna guess Krystinwould be a Minn. fan and Sabrina would be a Hoosiers fan. As for Sun, I’ll just take a stab and guess Michigan State since she wears green. Brooke is the toughest not being from the midwest, but I’ll guess she’d jump on a bandwagon and claim Illinois as her favorite.
Hmm… No, I’m not going to try. I don’t keep up with college sports.
Killer Voting Incentive is killer.
And I myself am not digging Sabrina’s outfit or hair here.
Sabrina – Penn State Nittany Lions because she went there iirc
Sun – Michigan State Spartans based on her colors
Def Tech – Minnesota Golden Gophers
Brooke – “The” Ohio State University Buckeyes (she just seems like someone who’d root for tOSU)
Sabrina: Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Penn State
Sun: Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Northwestern
Krystin: Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern
Brooke: Illinois, Northwestern
Um, I think my net is screwy; sorry for multiple posts.
-Wait, don’t tell me! Rival Angels has naming rights to every big stadium in the world. Their advertising budget must be huge if that’s the case. How do they even turn a profit?
-Nice try with the rampant nationalism, but even French wrestling fans can recognize when a wrestler is being pushed down their throats not because of talent, but because the company can push more merchandise. At least Cena got a little better at wrestling and promos, though he still has his Superman moments. That would make Sabrina the Wesley in France.
-Man, Krystin has it rough. The only wrestler in the Upstarts and she’s going to start off in a modified hardcore match against a closet BDSM fetishist, her parents are going to be there to watch the mayhem, she’s falling behind Brooke in terms of popularity, her job is being threatened, most of the Golden Gophers’ athletic teams are terrible, and the Big 10 has 11 (soon to be 12) teams! At least she can wrestle. Now if can say something interesting on the mic…
*Now if only she can say something interesting on the mic…
Sacre bleu! Go back to le place Pigalle, Chloe! Voux inhale!!
Wait, you mean that Brooke is showing that she isn’t just a pretty face and body with historical knowledge of past battles? Wow, I’m impressed.
I love the banter between the Upstarts and the fans. The Fans know how to stick behind their heel, I mean favourite Wrestler. But, really what credentials does deSade have to warrant her being one of the top Heel stables in RA?
Apparently, French is the bizzaro land for Rival Angels. Like Canada is the bizzaro land for WWE (especially Montreal, back when Shawn Michaels & Earl Hebner are still with WWE).
speaking of Heel getting cheers..
here’s one..
Chris Jericho (Heel) getting a crowd cheer..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_HTpE45Zf4
some places like the great gimmick.. have great microphone skill..
Heel gets the cheer from the fans coz, some heels are great to entertainers.. the excite the crowd..
some heel are annoying heel.. like the Miz, Vickie and Alberto Del Rio.. heel which is annoying heel.. which get the booo
Chloe De Sade.. perfect heel! she excite the crowd, and being rude to the crowd.. perfect heel…
I really have to comment on Sabrina’s action.. last panel..
Sabrina arguing with a fan.. it’s not likely Sabrina’s action.. but why? argue? Sabrina is a face.. ‘Ultraface’ even getting booo’ed she shouldn’t be like that..
she’s not a tweener..
but I suspect.. the booo weaken Sabrina in the match.. Lolz
haha!!
Xtina Carpenter… I wonder how? will they cheer her.. there’s a French/ Canadian..
and I’m surely they booo Victoria Buckingham…
England and France rivalry..
Catgirls? will they get cheered?
also Brenda Rua? will the French crowd cheered Brenda..
i like how when they first left the car 3 out of 4 of the Upstarts were getting cheers, then by the time they made it halfway to the stadium everyone but Krystin are exchanging potshots with the fans.
so the “Ultrawhore” sign.that supposed to be for Sabrina or Brooke? or killing two blonds with one sign ;P Sun’s welcome to heeldom 101 in the last panel was kinda funny. I think Brook may be suffering from Kelly Bundy syndrome there too. a total ditz 99.9% of the time then once in a while she tosses out some actual bonafide knowledge about something that stuns everyone.
maybe that could be Brooke’s new finisher.
<cutscene>
Brooke in trouble against Victoria Buckingham. Things could be over soon!
Brooke: Did you know that during the fourth crusade the christians, instead of attacking the Muslims in the Holy Land, instead ransacked the christian orthodox city of Constantinople, the very people thatasked for their help?”
Victoria: huh?
<Brooke rolls up a confused Victoria for the three count>
I thought this was common knowlege, but since you didn’t know the rival angels stadium is actually a Decepticon so it can fly anywhere Rival angels needs a stadium. Wow, you didn’t know that? I am shocked.
Wow! Great job boss! I love the art. The expressions are great and there’s lots of detail to discover. The banter is sweet. And very nice viting incentive!
Okay, my picks of who’s supporting who:
Sun, growing up in Auburn Hills, MI, would probably root for U of M, but if she’s being contrary and contradictory, she could also root for Michigan State.
Kristin, being a Minnesota native, probably roots for the Minnesota Golden Gophers,
Sabrina, probably roots for Penn State, having attended there and due to her appreciation to legacies (Joe Paterno is an amazing Legacy).
Brooke, being Australian and training on the west coast, probably knows very little about college football. Since she seems to be a bit of a band wagon kind of girl, I’d imagine she’d root for Ohio State.
Some of you sharpest work, Bossman! Bren, no feel bad if frog people cheer for Bitsy… like folks say – is Bizarro World there.
And probably good for Sabby to get a taste of the boos. As good girl, she no use to be drenched in Hate-R-ade. I can tell her that heels learn to live for it. I only been boo’ed a few times… but still had to suck it up. You can’t make eva’body love you, ‘sides you are there for one thing. To kick Kat and Chloe’s butts.
I have one little question – where did they dig up that many French people willing to speak English? 😉
Easy, the French all have little transistors that translate everything they say into English. Didn’t you know that? XD
Heh, well it doesn’t do Sabrina any good to boo and jeer her if she can’t understand what they’re saying. Cursing is always the first thing you learn of another language and English is pretty universal over in Europe, especially Paris. Now, the signs in English…that’s going the extra mile. 😛
Hey Al, great work as always, I have an easy answer for your challenge. It would seem obvious that Sabrina would be 100% behind Penn State. Michigan blows large chunks so only Brooke would root for them , Sun would of course go with Penn state since she wants to not get punched by Sabrina. Brooke straight up would not care Aussie girls want nothing to do with football, unless it’s Aussie rules football. so she would side with Krysten for fear of more beatings and go with Minnesota. looking forward to the pay per view.
Yes, the stadium is named for de sade – in French, “de sade” means “big hole [that] accepts many people”. Chloe “white stain” de Sot will continue her fall in Paris. If she’s lucky, she’ll be a footnote in Rival Angels history, otherwise, she’ll just fade away like some icky oil spill…
Looks like Sabrina got some poor advice from some crappy PR person on what she should wear to appeal to the fans… Oh well, it’ll make her tougher… Um, maybe…
Ghost, I think the sign for the Stadium name is a fan sign, not the actual name – LOL
I know, but what fun is that?
Wow those fans are disgusting, its one thing to boo someone but to say those kind of things to the actual wrestlers to their faces is just sad. Its fans like that which make me hang my head sometimes in a wrestling crowd embarrassed to be associated with them. Shameful, wrestlers have feelings too.
Chris, Brooke knows how to work the crowd and the parisians know how to appreciate ‘technique.’ XD
Inconcordium, WINNAH! Send me an email at archangel@workshedstudio.com to let me know which Rival Angels character you’d like on your sketch card. 😀
MGC, I never thought I’d see a face like Sabrina booed in Rival Angels either, but the days of Lance Storm, Sting and Ricky The Dragon are gone where faces got cheered and heels got booed. But, that doesn’t mean that I can’t throw a few twists in there. 😉 The name of the stadium is listed in panel 1. O_o As to why Sabrina is arguing with the fan, have you heard that Sun and Sabrina are friends? Have you seen the lengths they will go to for one another? As to the rest of the wrestlers on the stable, I think a lot of how they’re received will be based on their actions, in and out of the ring.
Good guesses, NappaandVegeta! You were pretty close. 😉
Hey Tarrasque, I’m glad you liked the Voting Incentive! Nancy does great work. 🙂
Picky, you nailed it on the 2nd try, but after Inconcordium. However, email me and I think I can set you up with a ‘runner up’ prize for breaking it down so well. 😉 In your first guess, Brooke liking the hell Ohio State was a good guess too. 😛
LOL JSN! Not every big stadium, just the ones that mean the most.;) It’s kind of my inside shot at all of the renaming of stadiums. What was so wrong with Candlestick Park and Mile High Stadium? (This stadium is real, but technically under construction in Paris). Sabrina’s reaction is also my take on modern day wrestling fans and how they cheer guys who beat their wives, get over on dead wrestlers and win championships because they’re best friends with the owner’s son-in-law. Some fans worry about being a mark so much that the become marks by default. Is it so wrong to boo the bad guy even if you admire and enjoy their work? This sort that shows before the show are exactly the kind that eat up the force feeding, but they don’t represent the entire crowd. It’s not all cynicism from me. Expect a few tweaks in our trip through bizzaro world. Krystin DOES have it rough tonight, and as you can see, the smartest thing she did this update was keep quiet. There’s so much on the line for her that any slip up might cost her professionally and personally.
LOL @ Darkmark! XD
Kurt, you can’t blink around Brooke because you just might miss a flash of brilliance time and again. Great question about Chloe. Honestly, she’s been coasting on her rep for a long time and now she’s going to have to back it up. She’s had big matches against such wrestlers as Sara Valentine, Brenda Rua and Yvonne Carmichael and has victories against all of them.
PS2kid, things are definitely going to get turned around, but expect some things to stay painfully the same. 😉
jpiv, yeah the Upstart girls have their reasons for getting into it with the fans. The initial boos are for Sabrina but I think they’ll gladly heap Brooke into that, especially since she was able to hit them where it hurts. Brooke can surprise you sometimes. XD I like your ‘baffle’ finisher and I think Brooke would go for it if she could remember all of that. LOL
Thank you, Champ! 🙂
Very good guesses, Vorrt! You were very close and especially love your reasoning for Ohio State even though it wasn’t correct, because they have weak arms and no work ethic. jk LOL You almost got all the schools but you were right on your guesses and the reasoning. 😉
Thanks Dyna-Mo! I don’t think Black Widow will enjoy too many cheers. Everyone loves the champ, they can’t help it. XD What can be said, other than Sabrina’s in for a long night.
Thanks Wokinshadoze! 🙂 You had some good answers for the contest too and I like your reasonings for them. LOL
LOL GhostEraser! I think we see where your cheering tendancies are going to lie. XD Sabrina’s not off to the best start. Will it get better, like, at all before the night is out?
RAWF, we are definitely seeing the dark side of the fans right now, but they won’t represent the whole crowd, but certainly a good portion of it. I think it’s going to come down not so much what Sabrina does, but what Chloe does as far as how the fans show their support.
@Albone:
Rival Angels Arena: Paris..
I just can’t believe it.. coz which means Gabrielle Reni owns that place.. but the problem is who’s using it. if it’s Rival Angels Arena..
scratch my head
She doesn’t own the arena, she just bought the naming rights for a certain amount of time. The arena sits over 81,000 and will host Paris Masters ATP Tour tennis tournament and for many sports: handball, basketball, boxing, gymnastics, track cycling, show jumping and more and will be the home field for the French football and rugby teams.
You mean it isn’t really a Decepticon??
But what kind of Decepticon? One giant robot, or a half dozen smaller ones? 😛
Two giant ones for roof and floor that look like huge cargo planes, a 767 passenger jet which also is Rival Angels personal jet- and the ring, and 84 thousand trouble bubbles for seats. I would assume that is why you never question the power of the Commissioner Gabrielle Reni. on a side note Brooke, if asked what her favorite Big ten college football team is would probably pick Notre Dame.
That’s a freakin armada, but I like it. 😛 Nice inclusion of Cobra gear in there too. Good call on Brooke’s fav Big 10 team. LOL
Don’t spare any words for Ohio State on my account. I bleed Maize and Blue for good ol’ U of M
“Welcome to the Dark Side”… Step in the right direction, in my taste.
Ha ha! Go Brooke!
