A lot of you predicted that Brooke would catch Monica and even go for the press slam, but it would seem that even that was fleeting. The two count and the shocked look on Brooke’s face don’t bode well for her chances at victory. Can she kick out? Can Amanda make the save? Or does Monica win the series??
I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for through YouTube, namely the transition of the last three panels but I think the below clip does a pretty nice job.
Voting Incentive!
It’s the start of the month so it would be awesome if you could vote. It was tough trying to find a panel that wouldn’t give away anything as voting incentive, and I think I came up with a good one. At least, Brooke fans might like it. XD
Sabrina fan arts!
Barb Jacobs of Xylia has been doing fan arts and this week, she did a super awesome picture of Sabrina! It’s so badass and you need to check it out!
Wow, I didn’t give Monica “Zoomie” Rumble enough credit that was one sweet move she pulled on Aphrodite. I would say that is all she wrote on this match. Too bad Brooke, better luck next time! If there is a next time. Hey Al, ANYTIME you can find an excuse to watch Melina do her “last call” finisher is definitely worthwhile. XD Zoomie has this one. Bummer, I really wanted Brooke to chalk up a win.
Brooke I believe you are running out of close calls at this rate, an actually offense might help lol. Judging by the voting incentive this match is not over, which is good cause I kinda wanted to see a two sided fight fight for the sake of entertainment. Brooke is showing that she has potential and power with that catch but I don’t how many more trips to mat before she actually uses it. At we can see that Sabrina and Brooke share a common flaw, show boating/focus, lets hope Sabrina is taking notes.
Monica obviously grabbed on to per pants to pull her down….>,>…I am not worried. It seems from the poll that Brooke starts to actually get serious with her. Seeing how Monica has to do all this(cheating) just to get the goddess’s attention.
well all is AL if Sabrina really wants to be an all powerful bitch inthe ring she should read Sun Tzu’s ar of war while highly effective and sound military strategies theo concepts and philosophies there in can be adapted and used in every day life to improve your self and to take a quote from Sun tzu “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” also if i were to coach Sabrina i would be having her watching many many tapes of her up coming oppents as the best way to defeat your oppnet its to find their weakness and strike hardest there inthe case of cat she is a bigger stronger fighter i would tell sabrina to use her superior agilty to out manuver kat and ware her down a dn exhuast herself while she doent small continues light attacks to inffuriate kat adn when kat tiared adn wore down strike hard adn with full force very much like Ali’s rope adope , as to how to best deal with chloe wellis to do what i said with kat that way she isnt too tired to face chloe as i would waged after her bout with kat sabrina wiill be on par if chloe as i have never seen chole fight i cant tell saprina how best to aproach that fight just that she should con serve as much strength ass he can in her bout with kat… Ha it hink i would make a good in structor in somthing
Hihi! I used to read Rival Angels a lot and loved it in the beginning – lost my thread to webcomics then found it, and this comic again. Read through all the archives yesterday. I love where RA has gone! I will be coming back to check everyday. Keep it up!
hmmm!! Monica could have loss in this chapter.. she executed a high flying move, as Brooke caught her.
Brooke did a mistake.. really a mistake. panel 1.. Brooke caught Monica.. Brooke can used many offense off in that pose..
a. spinning side walk slam
b. Powerslam
c. High angle powerslam (world strongest slam)
d. gutt buster
e. fall away slam
if Brooke wants to lift Monica up on her shoulder
a. torture rack..
I don’t know if Monica will tap out in this. and in a torture rack, Brooke can show off her abdominal muscle
b. gory neckbreaker.. Brooke secondary finisher.. Brooke can win this..
it’s hard on panel one position to do that..
c. forward fireman carry slam (wasteland)
d. fireman carry slam..
e. Samoan drop
Panel 3-5: I do think it’s just a sunset flip roll up pin.. not a bomb.. if it a leg trapped sunset flip bomb.. I would say 1……….2……3
Voting incentives:
running kick to the back? I do think it’s it’s just a kick..
COME ON MONICA!!!
LET’S GO MONICA RUMBLE!!
COME ON ‘MIGHTY POKEMON’ Rumble!!
Yet again, Monica shows her blatant kickassery!
PUT HER IN HER PLACE MONICA! POST-MATCH BEATDOWN! STEEL CHAIR! STEEL CHAIR!
Things still look bad for Brooke, She’s almost pinned here and may need Amanda’s help to get out of this one. She’s back up and kicking in the next panel but not sure if this after she’s beaten. My bet is that Brooke gets the help she desperately needs from Amanda and starts a more serious attack on Monica. Monica hasn’t really hurt Brooke yet and Brooke may make her pay for that.
Gotta give Brooke credit for the catch, but showboating AGAIN after coming so close to losing? At this point, maybe the Aussies’ blown her nine lives.
That was a great move and no way she is going to get free unless she does somethig quickly. I think she will get free so you can tantlize us more.
If she studied more tapes (namely mine lol) she’d see the press is a part of my finisher shoulder wheel. But I only use that when the other is spent. Live and learn, rookie. And Zoomie, rock on!
It does look like Brooke manages to yet again kick out and go after Monica’s back in teaser pic for Wednesday. She GOT to stop messing around and showboating. Only so many heel tactics she can keep pulling before real moves are gonna’ have to come to bear to put the mighty midget on her tush for good.
::shakes his head and starts making some Peanut Butter Daisies in honor of Brooke eventually getting buried in this match::
well i was on the right track with my last update predictions for this. i couldn’t think of what the move was called, sunset flip seemed closest. If not for the VI i’d say Brooke would be too shocked to kick out since “it only take 3 seconds to win” and Brooke’s spent 2 already doing her deer in the headlights impersonation. but it looks like Brooke gets the upper hand somehow by the time the VI comes around.
actually i’ve just changed my mind. Monica wins the match and Brooke proceeds to- much too late- step up and start pounding the smaller Monica post match like she should have been doing beforehand. does Sabrina FINALLY (see way back in “Belles smush Monica”) decide to come to Monica’s aid in a post match beatdown? against a fellow Upstart even? cause after all Sabrina’s not one to pile too much on her plate at one time or anythign like that 😉
Wokinshadoze, I love me some Melina and Jillian. Such a shame that Jillian is a jobber and now a trainer in FCW. Yeah, this looks like the final 3 count for Brooke and the last panel would sum up her performance for this match.
jabberwocky, this could be the end and the voting incentive might be how she reacts to the loss. Or maybe she kicks out. XD For their sakes, hopefully Brooke and Sabrina are taking notes. Gabrielle picked them to be a part of Rival Angels so they have the goods but Brooke’s gotta make good on her potential.
BBD, it seem that Monica is keeping one step ahead of Brooke and it could cost her in the end if she’s not careful. She’s stunned in the last panel so it’s possible that she loses this one. Don’t expect Brooke to lose gracefully though. 😉
ComicHero, this is very good advice for Sabrina and her upcoming matches. Chances are she’s heard some of this, but it never hurts to drill this stuff again, especially with so much on the line. You’d make a fine instructor. XD
Thanks Cassandra and welcome back!!
MGC, I think Brooke would’ve went with a slam here though the gut buster would’ve been my next guess. Yeah, the flip is more accurate but I couldn’t find what I was looking for on YouTube and this Melina/Jillian was close enough.
Allen, if Monica has her chance, you can bet that winning won’t be the end of her revenge on Brooke and Amanda.
Selcaro, some involvement by Amanda might be good for Brooke. Brooke also is the type of girl who would take out her frustration after losing a match. That is a good point about Brooke not being hurt. She’s been confused, flustered and off-balance but she hasn’t really suffered too much damage, at least not so much that she couldn’t recover.
DynaMo, yeah that’s a good point about Brooke’s nine lives. She’s probably out!! It’s been apparent that no matter what Brooke’s been doing in training, it hasn’t shown up here in the match, at least not yet. She’s not assembled more than a few moves in succession and that’s no way to win a match. Unless I missed my guess, I’m thinking you’re rooting for Brooke? XD If you are, you’re in good company as the readers seem to be split down the middle in their support.
Snowy, I’m hoping to tantalize half as much as you do.
Champ, this match is like an entire semester for Brooke. Win or lose, she’ll definitely learn something and be better for it. Maybe she was trying to do your finisher? XD
Cookie Ogre, I’m just about a fan for anything with peanut butter. Those daisies might be timely though.
jpiv, you were on the money! Great point about the 3 count. You don’t necessarily need to be beaten down for a 3 count. Being stunned would work too. It would be just like Brooke to show her skill and potential after she lost the match. You’ve gotten the measure of Sabrina as well. The girl just doesn’t know when enough is enough. lol
Oh for crying out loud! I hope she kicks out. Time for Amanda to hop up on the apron and distract the referee or something!
Bossman,
While it’d be nice to see Brooke finally get a W, considering how snide Monica has acted. But, at the same time, I’m bothered how heel she’s having to go to just stay alive in this match. So, its a toss up… I’m not a heel girl but Monica can be a little snot.
Well, nuts. I won’t be liking a Brooke loss. But if she does a beatdown on Monica after the match, that’ll at least be some partial redemption.
RAWF, it is a little frustrating, isn’t it? Seeing Brooke struggle, get the upper hand then lose it? Amanda would be a nice equalizer right about…..now.
I hear ya, DyanMo. Monica’s been a bit of a brat for a while now and I think lots of us have grown to like/love Brooke and want to see her do well too. But one thing for sure, whether this match ends or not right here, the battle will go on at least a little bit as the voting incentive suggests. 😉
darkmark, I’m betting you are not alone in that sentiment! Now if Brooke could just get un-stunned….
Wow, that Monica is one slippery customer, eh? Brooke can’t keep a hand on her for more than a couple seconds without brushing close to a loss. Granted, the voting incentive seems like she might finally get the upper hand… unless of course, that’s just the actions of a sore loser.
Also, congrats to you and the missus on the anniversary, Alan, hope Vegas was a good time.
Thanks for the vote of Confidence Al strategy is my thing but you are right Sabrina has a awsome mentor and if she is wise she would listento her more often it seems to me sabrina is like any young warroir getting excited over their first few wins adn become ing ovr confident and over confidence breeds contempt and contempt leads anger, anger leads to stupidity and stupidity leads to defeat sa brina has to reign herself in and personaly while i fidn Chole’s methods and tatctic deplorible i think they drove the message sabrina’s trainer may have been trying to get across to her that you cant be over confident and you always have to keep a level head in any confrintation and any good teacher or inventor for that fact will tell you you learn by failing thomas edison said once when asked abt failing so many times withthe light bulb befor he got it right , and he said ” I dont see that i have failed or that my pervious 2000 attempts were failures as i learned 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb” only thrpugh defeat do we grow wiser and stronger but some defeats you can not learn anything from , the trick is to decern which ones you can learn from and which ones you can not, and some how i fore see that chole is going to tell kat to beat the heck out of sabrina make her mad and what not then lose to her and when sabrina is beaten and broke after her fight with chole she will take the tv belt for herself
Wow, Brooke appears to be as strong as she is stupid! Well, stupid’s not the right word, exactly… Maybe “uninhibited by the cognitive process”…
Anyway, Brooke definitely needs more experience in the ring…
Maybe this match will be the wake up call that Brooke needs to train seriously and not just try to be a pin up model. Even if she somehow wins she looks like crap
I’d rather this match be Brooke’s swan song with the air headed, ignorant, backstabbing, talentless broad being sent packing to Hollywood to star in exploitation flicks where her slight talents can be of some use!
Brooke is a less talented Lex Lugar with even less charisma.
If Brooke’s a Lex Lugar, then the Upstarts are the four horses. Ride hard and put away wet LoL Ok, that’s a bit harsh. Four horsewomen then. And they could be cowgirls. They have cows in Amanda and Black Widow! Yeah, you heard me Widow! Just say Moo!
Chris, it was indeed a good time. 😀 Monica is a wily veteran and that’s the real question; is the voting incentive hinting post-match?
Comichero, you got the measure of Chloe down. She would say something like that to Kat, and probably has, but Chloe probably wouldn’t ask Kat to not win the belt, but would definitely have her administer a beating of a lifetime to Sabrina. If Sabrina can keep her temper in check, she can go a long way. I think we’ll be checking in on Sabrina before her big match. 😉
GhostEraser, I think you could compare the two equally. XD Win or lose, Brooke is definitely learning a thing or two this match.
Ken, she’s looked horrible this match and deep down she knows it. She’s had to cheat her way to this much success as-is. She has enough self preservation to know that if she still has a job, to start taking it more seriously.
LOL Picky! Ah, flexy Lexy. I think Brooke would do well in Hollywood but Michael’s got enough stroke to keep her around, at least a little while. Brooke does need to help out by you know, winning every once in a while.
Oooooh, Champ!! A few shots for everyone! LMAO!
Bren! LOL! Nice one girl. Only thing about the horsemen thing is that makes Sabrina as Rick Flair and Sun as Arn Andersen. Yikes.
There you go! But I think Sun would consider herself Ric Flair, the charismatic and natural leader. XD
Sun: “I am not a short bald guy with no ups! If Sabrina is Ric, I’m early Sting. Krystin is Double A, Brooke is Barry Windham.”
So that makes The Black Widow is Lex Luger?? so when is the handicap match scheduled? Brenda Rua and the Catgirls VS the Upstarts and Blackwidow??
To the Blackwidow:
I your one and only long suffering fan wish to know when your actually gonna log onto these forums and defend yourself against this slanderous comments made by Brenda Rua. Are you really just a one trick pony? All I have ever seen you do is slam her into a table. Are you capable of more? Somehow I doubt the Blackwidow is worthy is a worthy name for you. That is unless you actually stand up for yourself. Where are you? Hiding in your dressing room? Are you worried that little cat feet munching on Cookie Ogre’s magnificent cookies might discover your presence and tell the champ your whereabouts? I am beginning to doubt you, Blackwidow. Maybe I should join the cookie side of the force. *crunch* *crunch* Hmmm, they are good. *Crunch* *Crunch*
Black Widow is way better than Luger. XD I don’t think she’s ever posted here but she has on the forum. I kind of caught her at the end of her ‘internet career’ so to speak but her and Brenda used to go back and forth all of the time with always great results for anyone reading. I’ll have to see if I can get her to make a special appearance or two when her match with Brenda drops. 😉
I guess Monica is the fan fave here. Can’t imagine why since she’s such a prat. Love panel 1’s Amanda peeking from the background ^.^
Poor Brooke just can’t get a break.
well considering what she said to the fans proir to coming in to the stadium also shes associated with sabrina so yeah shes not going to be a fan favorite, lol Al you think im sitting in the locker rooms with girls being a super spy i thnk it the caps shield it hides me from the gaze of pretty ladies i think =P
Last week I said that I wanted Monica to win this, not for her own sake, but for Brooke’s. Brooke needs to learn. I still stand by that!
Unless Brooke can use her legs and push back I think she’s done for the night and her career is in jeopardy… or she pulls off a submission like a modified triangle shoke… onto the next exciting match!
If Brooke can remember, she can ear clap Monica with her boots. That will give her a chance get loose.
Amanda, that’s how it is in pro wrestling! Who the fans like isn’t always the nicest/bestest person.
Trevor, she needs to tap into Amanda or Michael to buy a break.
comichero, some girls like Brooke like being the bad guy. They can’t help it! Cap’s shield is probably helping with the ladies noticing you. XD
stygimoloch, your wish might just be around the corner! I think Brooke will take a lot of this match with her. She wants to be successful and is starting learn that you have to work for it like anything worthwhile in life.
Kurt, that would be a very tricky move for Brooke to make, and considering that Krystin has the knowledge to share, it could happen! Or, Monica pins Brooke and she has to hit the showers for the night.
DynaMo, kind of like a swiss bell ringer but with her feet? That or using her power to get out. It’s a matter of whether Brooke can become un-stunned long enough to kick out.
well i supose it would attract fab girls but then agian you dont see to many cap fn girls tho ifyou want my honest opinion sun seems like shes a secret cap worshiper, but thanks for think it gets me noticed tho im pretty sure its not in a positive light
The bell ringer is classic escape from that position. JC and my earliest pro trainer showed me. Don’ take lotta’ skill.
I meant to say before, bossman Panel 2 is like prettiest i’ve eva’ seen Brooke look. Is that odd? I mean she been getting whip on and then to look like million bucks in that pose… ai-ya…
I don’t see how people can be cheering for Brooke when she’s the one at fault. She’s given Monica nothing but crap for awhile now, and it’s about time for a little payback in the form of a humiliating loss.
Comichero, I think Sun would say that Cap is a fan of hers. XD Seriously though, who doesn’t like Cap??
Thanks DynaMo! Well, maybe it’s because Brooke is happy. It’s probably her happiest moment in this match since it started. They say a strong, happy woman, is a beautiful woman. 😉
Allen, I think some people don’t like Monica’s perceived whining. She’s pointed the finger at a lot of people for some bad things that have happened to her. I think most of that was squared away after she beat Brooke last time but this match is certainly a ‘winner takes all’ vibe to it. And maybe Monica wins this match in the next panel!
