Brooke avoided Monica’s finishing move but she’s still in terrible danger of losing this match. Monica is all over Brooke like white on rice. Does she have any chance of surviving, much less win this match?
Voting Incentive!
Vote to see if Brooke’s luck has changed at all next update! (it hasn’t)
HOLY! VOTING INCENTIVES ALBONE!!
is that Amanda choking Brooke? or Monica choking Brooke
Panel 1: it’s obvious that.. Monica couldn’t lift Brooke and executed it perfectly.
by the way.. I thought she’s mighty? how come she couldn’t lift Brooke.
Panel 3: “Really!!” look at Brooke!! “Priceless!!” for a “Useless” “GoDDess”
MGC CHEERS MONICA
COME ON!! MIGHTY MONICA!!!
COME ON!! POKE MONICA!!!
Wow.. Brooke showed some savvy in the first panel getting her legs over the ropes, but LOL!! That look in panel 3… ai-ya… i bust a gut!!
And things in the preview look interesting.. does Amanda turn on Brooke?
That runt is lucky to even have had the opportunity to touch the goddess let alone lift her. Monica’s name is a farce! Brooke is not heavy, Monica is just weak! And her gallery of cheap shots continues Monday I see. If only was a Ref! I would have been called the match. There is no justice Albone! How can you do this to that innocent goddess!?
Your jealously of Monica is embarrassingly transparent. Perhaps she will let you kiss the fist which touched your dear loved Goddess…
[by the way, my comment is intended to be funny…]
And it looks like someone is set and determined to hurt Brooke. Though of course she needs to be careful outside the ring with a second person there. You never know what they might or might not do.
I don’t see what’s so unusual about the situation: BrOOke’s in waaaay over her head.
Again.
Seriously, she has to know by now that insulting Monica and just standing there doing nothing is not a winning strategy.
Jeff’s still Jeff; it must feel good for him to be back to Aphrodite- praising ( worshiping? ) normal.
I don’t see Monica as being weak in lifting the GoDDess with difficulty, after all BrOOke is heavier than Monica. All that silicone acts as ballast too.
Don’t the two girls only have so many seconds outside the ring? Monica’s got to act fast!!
If I know my heel wrestling tactics, Monica is making a big mistake by running near Amanda outside the ring. Brooke avoided any major damage here but she needs to get her sh– together and get some offense in. If she keeps getting upset by this little yippy dog Monica, then Brooke isn’t going to be able to hang with the big dogs.
Panel 3 is one of the best RA panels EVER. OMG LMAO.
Amanda looks pretty surprised to have caught her. Maybe it was an automatic reaction and she wouldn’t have if she’d had time to think? LoL
I agree panel 3 is one of your best!
But why folks think it’s Amanda doing the choking in the incentive? The attacker is shorter and the hair isn’t right. Plus, Amanda wouldn’t turn on her friend, would she? LoL
Risky start by Monica trying to get the much heavier Brooke over the shoulder like that. Still Monica has the jump on Brooke. Monica needs to get her back in the ring and take her down on the mat and pull her apart. Brooke doesn’t like to be on the mat and she’s can’t take much pain. Monica should get Brooke in a simple double toe leglock and just keeps it on until Brooke submits.
Choking Brooke outside the ring with Amanda near by is going to get Monica in trouble though. Don’t think Monica is good enough to get this done.
SWERVE! Vince Russo approved!
Nice left hook Monica! lol I wonder if Amanda is starting to reconsider her decision to align herself with the “goddess”
Hopefully, Monica gives Jeff a show and slams Brooke on the table right in front of him. lol
something worries me though when you are not in the frying your in the fire…things are looking very bad for Brooke.
I admit the more I look at Brooke being choked, the more I’m not sure. The hair looks more like Monica’s but the thickness of the arms looks more like Amanda. And both are wearing sleeveless tops. Ai-ya! This whole thing hurts Mo Chen’s head.
I hear you, Dyna LoL. But Monica has big shoulders and arms too. In proportion to the rest of her, she may be bigger than any of us. Grrrrr!
Well judging by the voting incentive the heel continues to get beat on which gives me hope she will turn the tides and win this match, come on..don’t job out Brooke! lol
I don’t know if it can be considered a ‘job’ when this is Brooke’s more-or-less rival. When Brooke starts losing to a variety of people, though… ::is working on the central spire of the Cookie Tower now and has a pan if leetle gingerbread Frenchmen in the oven:: I concur that Panel 3 was beautiful, and I look forward to seeing where this is going next! ::sends Albone a cookie::
count me in on the panel 3 approval crowd- Brooke’s facial expression finally matches her brainwaves. i also thought it was Amanda in the VI at first glance but the hair is definitiely Monica.
i think things are going to turn around for brooke soon though. Monica’s got the choke but between Amanda and brooke they should be able to get out of that. assuming brooke’s brain has unscrambled by then she will most likely escape back into the ring before the ten count (or is it 20 here? course in regular wrestling the time between the 1 and the 2 is about 50 seconds anyway). Then she will have to Aphrodite the ref to distract him while Amanda beats Monica up on the outside…then Brooke starts posing again and loses to a rollup… ;P
MGC, listen to the Champ as far as the voting incentive is concerned. 😉 Don’t hold it against Monica that she couldn’t execute her finisher in the first 15 seconds of the match. Brooke does have some fight in her. 😛
DynaMo, you’re seeing the same thing in Brooke that Sabrina and Krystin do and that’s why they want to see her succeed. However, for ever step Brooke takes forward, seems to be another two steps back.
BBD, what can I say? Monica’s got the upper hand on Brooke and she’s holding on to it with the tenacity that a tiger has with it’s prey. Brooke’s been surviving on pure luck but that can’t last forever. Jeff is happy he’s not the only one that thinks Monica’s a cheap shot artist. XD
Wise words, Snowy! Monica’s feeling pretty bold right now and as the voting incentive suggests, she’s got every reason to feel so.
Hey RDF! Yes, the girls have a 20 count to get back in the ring though it’s the ref’s discretion on how quickly he counts that off. Yeah, Brooke’s in trouble again and she does need a much better plan. I think no matter what, she might learn something from this experience. ‘Worshipping’ is a good word to describe Jeff’s mindset. XD
Well said, Ken. Monica is taking a chance here following Brooke outside but she’s feeling good about her chances so far. She’s got the bigger girl on the run and the advantage is hers. Concerning Brooke, she needs and wants to show what she’s capable of but she’s got this ego that seems to get the best of her. Will it cost her now?
Yay, thanks Lora!! 🙂
Champ, there’s a reason why we call you Champ and it’s because you caught all of the little details. Yep, Amanda was surprised by the Brooke package in her arms, but she’s a good friend and would’ve caught her regardless. Yep, that’s Monica in the voting incentive, and that image is cropped to cause just a tiny bit of confusion. 😉 So glad you liked panel 3!
Selcaro, well said. The only thing that Brooke hates more than mat wrestling is being on the run. Monica has taken a few chances and continuing to take them but they haven’t backfired on her and even if she hasn’t put Brooke away yet, she’s got the Goddess flustered and confused. Maybe a submission try from Monica??
bd, I would LOVE to have a swerve approved by Russo. XD
Wokinshadoze, I think Jeff would be torn seeing Brooke roughed up in front of him, but any chance to get a close up look at her is always appreciated by someone like Jeff. 😛 You might be right about Brooke’s chances and what Amanda must be thinking right about now.
RAWF, with fans cheering Brooke on, she can’t lose. eh, right? O_o Brooke wishes there was an easier way to win.
Cookie Ogre, I don’t think Brooke’s a jobber, but her performance thus far is job-worthy. Though even jobbers get a strike in or two, right? Thanks for the cookie!! 🙂
jpiv, I love that panel 3 was well received. Good call on the voting incentive too. 20 count here in Rival Angels and the one thing Monica has going for her (other than momentum) is that she can choke to her heart’s content on the outside of the ring, or at least for 20 seconds. You’d think that Amanda will get involved at some point. I mean, what else is the point of Brooke having her then, eh? 😛
Yep, I love panel three also. I was going to fake outrage at you making fun of cross-eyed people, but I’m too lazy to look up the medical term…
I understand your concern about panel three, since your art style thus far has been to reflect reality as close as possible. But, because you have stayed true to your style, this little “transgression” was completely unexpected and therefore makes it so much more funny; and it really adds to the implied impact of Monica’s punch.
Back to the match: since Monica is brave (or stupid) enough to venture outside of the ring, she had better watch her back…
ouch! im not a fan of brooke but if she doesnt wise up , her taining with sabrina will be for naught
Panel 3 for the win! Great job on the expression ^.^ Ugh, Monica. She IS probably the better wrestler, but I still have her on my shit list.
Well, there’s nothing much to be said for it. Brooke either needs to be sent back to developmental or the Boss needs to get with Sabrina and company and insist that they train her. Seems like she’d be better off as a diva than a wrestler. Or are you commenting subtly on the influx of models into wrestling who can’t wrestle?
GhostEraser, maybe it’s ‘lazy eye,’ or something? 😛 Actually, you have the heart of humor. Humor is expecting a logical outcome and something unexpected happens instead, causing you to laugh. Yeah, I try to keep it real but I’m not above a few extra special instances to jazz up a page. The way Monica is going, Amanda and Brooke are the ones who are going to have to watch out!
Comichero, that would be a shame too considering Brooke got a brand new finisher out of it. It’s not over yet, but it’s not looking good especially if you look at the voting incentive.
Thanks Amanda! And LOL at Monica on your list. XD
Darkmark, naw, no statement against the Divas. They do a good job on their own showing their own blemishes. Yeah, Michael’s pull is going to run out quick at this rate so it’s time for Brooke to show something special or go back to the minor leagues.
LOL! Subtle comment? It should be shouted comment. The feds only want skinny girls with big boobs… skills are an option.
Sara Del Rey was told she wasn’t enough like the Beautiful People to be hired aka not skinny enough and didn’t act trampy enough I guess.
Jessica Havok was saying she’s been doing everything she can to slim down even though she’s in great shape because she’s got a strong build.
C’mon Brooke! I don’t want to have to make good on that bet!… now if it was Suzy Love…
And its oven- ITS BACK ON AGAIN!
DynaMo, it’s a damn shame that the E (and TNA to a degree) can’t appreciate the talent that’s already here. Sara Del Rey and Jessica Havok would be instant upgrades over any of the divas. Until then, we’ll just have to give our love to Shimmer and WSU.
Ashley, I can say that you and Brooke have the same interest in her not losing. XD
Prestwick, this match is not for the faint of heart!
I agree with this statement , TNA used to be trying to make a huge statement with they’re knockouts division, now they are nothing more than 2008 e with different faces filling in the same parts. There are great wrestlers there though. The twinges are coming back again,Albone. I am horribly addicted to Rival Angels.
