Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Brooke Lennox, Monica Rumble
So, Brooke survives! Not only that, a well timed powerslam and kick may have turned the tide! Or will this advantage evaporate just as quickly as all of Brooke’s other advantages?
Pop Culture Reference
Robbie Gould, as mentioned in the last panel is the kicker for the football Chicago Bears.
Voting Incentive!
It might not mean much but if you’ve been hoping for Brooke to put the pedal to the metal, now is the time to vote. 😉
Sabrina fan arts!
In case you missed on Monday, Barb Jacobs of Xylia has been doing fan arts and she did a super awesome picture of Sabrina! It’s so badass and you need to check it out!
Nice reversal, Brooke! Too bad you didn’t get Monica’s arms down for that pin attempt and the Voting Incentive… ai-ya! A lotta’ pain coming the Mighty one’s way!
That is one way to literally kick out of a pin lol. So my prediction must be on time delay lol, a big boot and powerslam can really change the momentum fast. I really don’t get Monica’s risky deviation from her move set during such a critical match. Yes a power air move will hurt Brooke, but once you play that card and fail stick with what works. Monica needs to stick to her speed and power to win, but she is stalled out like this Brooke is gonna knock her around.
Brooke may be able to replace Robbie Gould, but right now if Monica is not careful she will be able to pass off as Jake Culter the way she is getting slammed to ground. Lets hope both Monica and Culter can avoid serious injury to come.
Wrestling rule of threes. First time usually hits… second time might… third time you use the same move – it will be reversed…
I really have to say..
Brooke did great job.. probably listen to my advice.. for a powerslam.. and the voting incentive torture rack..
I really have to say for Monica Rumble..
Brooke listen and got the advantage.. Monica.. should’ve used a high flying tactics against a powerhouse.
Panel 6: priceless image on Monica Rumble…
I still love Monica.. Monica for the win.. but…
Panel 7: kick to the back.. hmmm I do suggest a running punt to the skull..
COME ON “MIGHTY” MONICA
COME ON!!! “MIGHTY POKEMON”
Ouch, a mighty snap powerslam from Brooke. The goddess finally has something going and by looking at the voting incentive, Monica’s about to find herself in a very dangerous position. Would could Brooke be looking for? A Burning Hammer? A Psycho Driver? Both absolutely deadly moves.
thinking about it…
The torture rack.. I think it will be the end of my “Mighty” Monica Rumble…not via submission.. pin fall after a gory neckbreaker..
upon the toture rack, Brooke will weaken Monica, then Brooke used her strength and turned Monica in a gory neckbreaker position. then boooom!!
1………….2……….3.. Brooke can end it..
I might be wrong on the torture rack.. Brooke possible go for backbreaker. in that position (reverse fireman carry) to a sitting back breaker, or could it be an reverse force five facebuster.
there will be some continue..
could it be a reverse dvd.. if this happen, then Brooke gone for the cover.. 1………….2.. Monica could rolled herself up, enduring the pain and reverse the pin. 1………….2……….3
How awesome is brooke? See even without Amanda, who was not even going to interfere, she is kicking Miss Rumble’s ass. I knew she just wanted it to look good. even with all the cheating that little midgit did, The Goddess fought through it all and is now about to finish her. Jeff is right, Brooke is as beautiful as she is skillful.
I’m surprised – I thought Monica had it!! I’m kind of torn on who I want to win this. I think Monica has been unfairly heaped upon by Brooke, but I do like Brooke and think she needs to succeed on her own … We’ll see!
Now that’s more like it! Let’s keep the momentum going. I want to see Brooke pull out a win on this one.
I got one of those there back stretching machines. Lay on it upside down to help with back pains and such. Is someone interested in trying it out after getting slammed?
ha ha, nice one Brooke! I’ve been waiting for this!! Great drawings on this page!
Wow! Really exciting match, boss. And great art! I love the tension and motion and expressions. This could still go either way. Woot!!!
I think Brooke just snapped! There are some mighty insane looks on her face. I think we may have Aphrodite the goddess of fury on our hands. Monica got ninja’d, instead of facing “watch my boobs bounce” Brooke she got the Lil Dragon channeled into Brooke’s body. Jeff’s right that ref can’t count past 2. He needs to take lessons from the Sesame Street gang.
And WOW! Brooke is FINALLY showing some savvy in the ring! She hit Monica’s back several times: the stomp, the shoulder ram into the turnbuckle… now add the power slam, the kick and the coming rack…
Monica’s strategy has almost been NO strategy at all. She just used rage. Now it’s frustration over what she thought would be a cake walk. You can no let emotions rule you or you’re undone.
So the tide has turned. Monica did one to many high risk moves and Brooke was simply too strong for the last one. More importantly Monica’s back is hurt and a torture rack is coming. Monica has no one to help her and she looks like she’s on the verge of submission. Can Monica’s back take the pain or will Brooke force her to submit?
If Brooke wins this, she’s going to be insufferable to the other girls… even more than usual! XD
so Monica’s crashed and burned it seems and shockingly Brooke’s managed to put two moves together for the first time…ever? i guess i can see Monica’s plan, Brooke was still down when she hit the ropes and if brooke hadn;t gotten to her feet so quickly the flying burrito (TM Bobby Heenan on Tito Santana’s finisher) would have done much more damage to Brooke instead of being the momentum breaker that it was.
suprisingly (apparently to brooke as well) in panel 6 she manages to avoid showboating (for 1 panel anyway) after hitting a move and stays on the attack. I’m thinking Brooke goes Flexy Lexy now with the torture rack. Given Monica’s size that will be a tough one for her to get out of and Brooke would be happy to hear someone say “I quit” in one of her matches (OK so she’d be happy to get a win in any way whatsoever). Besides Brooke and Sun are the only ones i don;t recall seeing a submission finisher from the Upstarts so this would be a good time for her to break one out.
Actually, Krysten taught Sabrina the Gogoplata,which she used on Xtina Carpenter. Xtina actually tapped out on it but the ref was busy dealing with Angel Soprano to acknowlege Xtina’s tapping out. Sun doesn’t look like she has a submission hold and if she does I would be surprised ,unless it is the gogoplata. XD. Go Brooke! snap her in half and teach that cheating Monica “zoomie” Rumble that she is far inferior to the goddes of <strike>love<strike> fury!
Hey Snowy, can I try it out without getting slammed first? All the bending and stretching to put trays into these short French ovens has left my back kinda stiff!
Ohh French oven….sure bring food and as you hang up side down we can share a meal.
DynaMo, that was some quick thinking by Brooke, eh? And yeah, the toll has been taken on Brooke’s back. More pain in Monica’s future but we’ve seen that she’s really hard to keep down. Monica’s strategy has been to mix up her usual gameplan with the high flying moves but it seems that she might have outsmarted herself, at least for the time being.
Jabberwocky, the adage of ‘going to the well too often’ comes to mind. Monica may have outsmarted herself by being too tricky with Brooke. It’s hard to blame her as this is there third time fighting each other so it’s not unheard of to think that Brooke might be used to the usual style of Monica. And Monica has shown that this is her match to win so she might be back faster than Cutler gets sacked. XD
MGC, it might be that Brooke listened to you and is now winning! At least for the moment. XD Brooke has several ways to go with the torture rack including submission. But will Monica tap out??
Chris, would it be surprising if Brooke pulled out one of those devastating moves? It might be coming up, IF Brooke plays this smart and presses her advantage. 😉
LOL BBD! It is important to note that Amanda hasn’t interfered thus far and through luck and/or skill, Brooke is on top. Can she keep it and finish off Monica? That is the question!
Cassandra, it’s a tough spot to be in! Lots of readers are torn between who to root for and it’s otherwise been split between the two. We’ve seen that Monica is double tough so she’s not out of this yet. It all depends on how Brooke fights from here on out. Does she press her advantage or does she let it slip through her fingers?
Darkmark, I know you and a lot of other readers are hoping for the Aphrodite-Win!
Snowy, you are very kind to offer your back services. I think Monica will be contacting you shortly. XD
Thanks Lora!! And it seems you are in good company in Brooke’s corner. 😀
Thanks Champ! Yes, we are in that spot where it seems like the match could go either way. !!!
LOL Wokinshadoze! Depending on your disposition, the ref might need some more count-training. Ah ah ah! Maybe just needed a bit to get warmed up, but she looks like she’s in command now. Can the goddess of love be the goddess of fury and win this match?
Some good questions, Selcaro. And good observation too about Monica and Brooke. Monica is in a bad place, being on the receiving end of a Brooke beatdown and no backup.
Stygimoloch, I think Brooke would be pretty insufferable either way. XD Either she’ll be super whiny or super arrogant. lol
jpiv, way to bring back the old school razz on Santana! (Heenan was the best). Up until this point, Monica’s plan has been working almost flawlessly. And it could swing back just as quickly as Brooke might not be used to being in charge (in the ring). Brooke’s greedy eyes at seeing Monica down trumped any aspiration for showboating, but will it last? Brooke would be so happy to get a win by submission/torture rack that she might forget to let go. 😉
Good luck with that, Cookie Ogre. XD
Yes, based on the voting incentive, Monica’s chances for winning look pretty bleak. I think her only hope of getting out of this is to grab those handles above Brooke’s waist… What? Those aren’t handles? Well, maybe it will work anyway…
I would say that this point, Bossman – Brooke has definitely put some of her critics to rest by her tenacity and newfound skills. Even if she loses at this point, she’s truly made her presence known.
BOOO! GO MONICA! YOU CAN DO IT!
Didn’t want to submit that just yet…
Brooke’s been kind of pummeled a bit here too. I’m shocked she can still stand.
GO MONICA GO! 🙂
Time to take her to school, Brooke. (Leans over his seat and pats Michael’s girl on the ass).
😛
Yeah the locker room is buzzing now. It’s not just the cookies Mr. Ogre brought over either. Brooke’s surprised everyone in the back. Win or lose, she’ll bear keeping an eye on.
How is football pop cutlure, Boney? Say it with me now ‘Sports Trivia.’
Great power slam… If Brooke was smart she’d just go in for a choke right here and make her submit and pass out. 🙂 But, knowing Brooke, she’ll be all going to the extreme and not keep things simple. 🙂
Dang it… never been much of a heel fan when I did watch wrestling back in the day… (stopped watching after Goldberg got “tazed” and no longer had the 120+ winning streak) and I’m actually disappointed… was hoping Brooke would have lost in the first ten seconds of the match. Just being dominated by Monica. I mean, Brooke has shown signs of being almost human on occassion, but in the end, she’s all about herself, the little one needs to put her in her place. Best match would have the following sound effects, back to back: Ding ding! Thwack! Thud! Ding ding! Would have been rather humbling maybe for Brooke had that happened, and she needs to be humbled a bit I think. Still though, great fight, everytime the comic ends with Brooke in a winning position, I’m at the edge of my seat rooting for Monica!
Way to turn the tide, Brookester!
This is what I’m talking about, Brooke! Get me out f this bet!!!!
oh my i was not expecting that to happen atall loks like brooke has some fight left in her but Monica better re gain composure quickly as this match is turning int o ao fight of atrition fast and being brooke is strong then Monica if it does become that she s going to win no doubts about it, but Al you posed a very good question to my last post adn it was who doesnt like cap wellif i had to guess i would say the crimson skull and for a while ole bucky was not a fan of cap either i would also say villian he has thrashed repeatedly is definatly not a fan of the cap, well even inmy least favorite arc the civil war id say alot of his one time friends disliked him cuz of the ass beatings he gave them then again what do you expect of the perfect human but, i say that sabrina and sun deffinatly give off the cap fan club vibe
GhostEraser, I’m not sure if that will be Monica’s exit strategy but I think a lot of us would like to find out. XD Don’t count Monica out yet. She’s in trouble now but she was running this fight up until now.
Glad to hear it DynaMo, or actually Brooke would be happy to hear it, though I think Marina, Krystin and Sabrina would be glad too.
Allen, as we’ve seen, Brooke is pretty tough and strong despite her ring work. And she’s been a little bit lucky, and a bit fortunate with her relationship with Michael.
LOL Trevor! Maybe you, Michael, Maddie and Brooke can uh, hang out together sometime. XD
Always interesting to get the insight from the Champ. Brooke will be delighted she’s on the radar now, even though she’s got a long way to go. 😛
Thanks for the clarification, Tarrasque, especially since something like that will pop up again.
Kurt, I think you know our little Brooke too well. XD You can bet that Krystin and Amanda and trying their hardest to telepathically will Brooke to finish this fight before she screws it up! lol
Dyerdon, I’m glad that I’ve been able to keep the tension high in this match and to keep you entertained. Don’t count Monica out yet since this is her first sign of being on the defense. Brooke’s not the nicest person in the world and you’re not alone in thinking that she could use a beating.
LOL @ Amanda!
Ashley, you have to know that Brooke is working hard to make that happen. XD
Comichero, I think Sabrina is an obvious fan of Cap and even Sun would have to admit to at least liking the 40’s look of Cap. Krystin would undoubtedly like the Ultimate version. XD I think Brooke would win a war of attrition with Monica but Monica has made her career on being strong and scrappy and this match isn’t over yet!
See Brooke? SEE? Power slam works.
Last time Monica went aerial, I called a power slam and Aphrodite had to pose instead of going for quick impact. The gorilla press got her in trouble, but this time she listened and now the mighty mite is hurtin’ for certain. It may not be over, but now it’s at lest time for the Goddess to show off her glory. Kicks. Thrown into the corner. Shoulder blocks against the turnbuckles. Maybe even a blast from the past: the bear hug. Considering the height difference, it would be vicious because Brooke would be holding Monica in the air for quite a while.
You know… that would be a nice addition for the Goddess to expand her finisher collection: Loved to Death, a bear hug submission. What better time to unveil it than a PPV too.
Go Aphrodite!
Hey, another one for Team Aphrodite! XD Yeah, the power slam is gold. Who knows what Brooke is capable of when she applies herself. Hmmmm, the bearhug is good and the name, ‘Loved to Death,’ is especially good. Like the way you think. 😉
🙂 good.
very true manica is scrappy and its the scrappy ones you gotta watch out for and it was more of a warning to monica that she has to re gain control of the match and fight it on her terms not brooke’s
Oh! Al since we are onthe topic of steve rogers i do believe i have found his family motto “Justum perficito, nihil timeto” It means to Act justly, and fear nothing, im pretty sure that sums up the cap
Insidently my Family motto is “Cognosce teipsum, et disce pati” which means “know thyself, and learn to suffer sounds pretty harsh makes me wounder if my famiily was part of the Inquistion
