Make no mistakes about it. This match has a clear cut face in Xtina and a heel in Sun. Will that affect how you cheer for your favorite angel in this match? (assuming you buy into ‘fans must cheer face and boo heels’).

This match should be explosive! Vote to see what we’re in store for on Monday!
I don’t think Jeff has made more sense in the entire run of the comic as he has in this strip. “High school graduates,” indeed.
So, basically college graduates are behind Xtina.
You can read it either way and it works, but it Jeff’s thought was, if you were smart enough to finish high school, you like Sun. Jeff’s other thought was that the overwhelming crowd support shows the people that didn’t finish high school.
Man, we couldn’t have two more complete opposites in the ring here. One wrestles on the ground, the other in the air. Xtina is a face in the ring, and back stage is a total bitch, while Sun is a heel in-ring, but backstage is a hell of a lot more friendly than Canadian Bacon is. Heel or no Heel, I’m going with Sun as my pick and who I cheer for. Yvonne may be devious, but she sure as hell isn’t stupid.
Sun’s Sun, she doesn’t care what others think. Xtina is exactly who she is as well, she doesn’t exactly play nice inside the ring either.
I’m pretty sure Sun is more of a Tweener than a Heel. At least judging from crowd reactions in the past.
Xtina seems like more of an attitude era face… well, Bret Hart mixed with attitude era.
Never thought I’d agree with Jeff ever, you know, because he’s a heel commentator, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
That said… Kick her ass, Sun!
Xtina’s physic?
Xtina got beer belly? that’s not a four pack..
why is Xtina being bit sassy? is she hanging out with Sara Valentine lately?
and did Xtona done a boob job?
will that affect how you cheer for your favorite angel in this match?
no..
I cheer for Xtina, coz she’s great.. been a number one contender one against Brenda..
Xtina is my 7th favorite in Rival Angels..
while Sun.. is a disappointment…
Well this should prove to be an interesting match. Though with how vicious one of the fighters is I’m not sure I’d have teased her to start with.
MGC, Lazy X is sporting the new WWE Diva look, softer but still solid.
My money’s on her. Any bets out there? If I lose I’ll let you take me to dinner 😀
DEAL! Wait…. wha….?
I’ll take you to dinner champ.. ahmm..
Xtina still seems like a bitch to me regardless of whether she’s technically the babyface. Sun will break some rules to get ahead, but she’s honest about it, Xtina is a hypocrite. I always liked Sun and it’s a no brainer who to cheer for in this.
Mo Chen love Sun’s stuff, but I won’t feel backing her if the Damage girls get involved…
I love X-tina’s challenge at the end… want to see Sun give the folks something to cheer about really bad now…
Trust the French to be able to not only pronounce Xtina somehow, but chant it. I’m backing Sun, even though I generally prefer the good girls, for one simple reason – she’s genuine. Not to class up the place or anything, but I’ll let one of my favorite bits from Shakespeare do the talking:
“I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in his grace; and it better fits my blood to be disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied that I am a plain-dealing villain.”
-Don John, Much Ado About Nothing, Act I, Scene III
Sun isn’t here to win a popularity contest. She isn’t fueled by the crowd’s support like Sabrina, by their attention like Brooke, and she does not mark how well she fools them like Xtina. Sun doesn’t try to seem classier than she is, scarier than she is, or nicer than she is. She may be a tweener leaning toward heel, but she is a plain-dealing villain and so I applaud her.
this onme’s tricky. pre- Xtina #1 contendership being announced i was ready to jump on the Sun bandwagon for this one. But now i’m not sure how it would look for the #1 contender to lose the first match she has right after being named in that slot. Unless of course Albone’s looking at a long term Brina beats Xtina- gets title shot, Xtiona- gets title shot, Sun beats Xtina- Sun title shot/fights Brina for the title shot as both have wins over the current #1 contender story? when BFFs collide! but i’ll stick with the heely face Xtina to pull one out (even if by DQ) over the facey heel Sun.
i think Xtina’s doing the vet thing here and trying to get Sun out of her game by having her showboat and then take advantage while Sun’s playing to the crowd. based on the VI if that’s the case i’d say it worked. Xtina will need to keep the dragon from flying around the ring to put her superior techincal skills to the fullest advantage while Sun has to hit and run and make Xtina chase to tire her out and get Xtina off her game and start plainjg into Sun’s.
hmm Xtina/Krystin would be a good match speaking of things technical…
Chris, I have a feeling that you and others are going to find yourselves agreeing with Jeff alot during this match. XD
Donny, I think this match is going to showcase both girls’ ability, and temperment inside the ring. I also think you’re not going to be alone in supporting Sun. XD You are right about Yvonne…but where is she anyways?
That’s a pretty good way to put it, Picky. She’s definitely channeling some Attitude era-face-HBK or Razor.
Tarrasque, I think you’ll find more instances in this match where you do agree with Jeff. XD
Come on, MGC. Just because a girl doesn’t have defined abs doesn’t mean she has a beer gut. Xtina’s a big, curvy girl and like a lot of big, curvy girls, likes to let everyone know that she has big boobs….just in case you missed them. Xtina’s always been sassy. Remember before her match with Sabrina? btw, Xtina has been sour towards Brenda ever since the champ beat her a while back. I actually had to cut that part out of Xtina’s promo for space! 😛
Snowy, I hope it is an interesting match. Xtina and Sun both have lots of confidence, but they show it in different ways.
Champ, I think you’re going to get a lot of takers. XD
Ken, I think a lot of readers are going to be hip to that. Sun’s a heel, but an honest heel, if that makes sense. Xtina’s got an ego as big as her….um…
Dyna, you can bet that Sun has a response in mind for Xtina’s crowd challenge. You can bet Kyra and Nikki will help out Sun if she needs it, but Yvonne’s usually out here. Hmmm….
Cookie Ogre, nice quote of Shakespere and also the breakdown on Sun. Pretty accurate. She absolutely makes no apologies and is who she says she is. Maybe that’s why her and Sabrina get along so well? The French, for all of our fun, are great at a many thing including toast. XD

Oh there’s definitely possibilities for drama if Sun were to win, but you know there’s big drama potential if she loses too. This is a bigger match for Sun, so to speak, as Xtina already has her title shot lined up, but that Xtina’s a vet and *shouldn’t* take Sun too lightly, especially with Kyra and Nikki prowling around outside. And good point with Xtina’s early mind games with Lil Dragon. This should be a fun match. 😉
I’ve been cheering for heels for 30+ years, from the 4 Horsemen and Randy Savage to The Miz and CM Punk. No reason to stop now. Let all the sycophants and pharisees cheer that gelatinous canadian trilobyte, I hope Sun pins that hypocrite with a foreign object and a handfull of tights!
Any other Jericho promos you’d like to rip off while you’re here?
Sorry you didn’t enjoy my little tribute to “the best in the world”. I promise it will never
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever
happen
again.
I dig me some Jericho.
My goodness, Mr Ogre. I’m impressed! And you know, the way this is shaping up “Cry havoc!” would also do. That would make Xtina and Sun hounds of war. Female hounds. But we won’t go there. Now…
Hey boss, you’re right. Xtina has been showing way too much ‘tude toward me since that match. I was listening for a shot at me during her bit of face time. It’s good she didn’t and stayed focused. Or else!
Now this is the match I’ve been waiting for all night… well, the last few weeks that is 😀 Goooooo, Sun! Break Xtina like a rotted BC Redwood that she is 🙂
Cookie Ogre said what I was thinking about Sun, except with more Shakespeare – which never hurts.
Sun reminds me of many of my friends. On a personal level, she’s great. When it comes time for confrontation, though, she throws out all the rules and does what it takes to win, and makes no apologies for it, constantly on the offensive, never caring for anyone’s opinion. I like that a lot. Not my own style – I relate more to Sabrina! – but definitely cool.
Xtina, on the other hand, reminds me of a few people who I think need a punch in the mouth. I hope she gets creamed, here AND in her title match.
I agree with a lot of other posters. I’m liking Jeff’s commentary as more than comedy this time around. I hope Sun wins on her own merits, legit or sneaky, because I really hate the idea of Damage Inc interfering.
Also, I’d like to take Brenda up on her bet. I spoke first, so I get the celebratory dinner after tonight’s title match, right? 😀
Xitna better not win. Brina losing to the idiot was enough of a disapointment. There’s no way Xitna should win besides I really really hate her attitude.
Yeah not very wise of you to insult a short person about their hieght Xtina
Hey KYR! I’m an equal opportunity fan. When I was a kid, I loved faces and booed heels, but as a I grew older, I started appreciating what the heels were doing as well as the faces. I too, love me some Horsemen, Punk, Miz and Savage!
I don’t know, Champ. You might have to have another ‘talk’ with Xtina. 😉
Kurt, I’m glad the match is finally here! Lots of anticipation and I’m hoping it pays off.
DragonMan, I knew having Jeff, in his heel commentator capacity, support Sun was going to make strange alliances with the fans and readers. Which is awesome. XD And, you’re not alone in not liking the face-Xtina! She’s been pretty crummy to almost all of the Upstart girls and a bit diva-ish overall. Speaking of the Champ, Xtina’s been kind of snarky to the champ ever since she lost to her a while back. O_o Oh, man. The line is getting long to ‘win/lose’ the bet over Brenda!
Tiffany, I know you’re rooting for Sun here especially after Sabrina’s loss earlier. You’re not alone in disliking Xtina’s diva attitude. Good company!
Comichero, thats’ how she rolls! She likes to get into your head and did the same before her match with Sabrina, before Sabrina went off on her.
I’m just glad I’m first in line! I’m counting on you – Sun FTW! Down with Xtina! Win me a date with the champ, Li’l Dragon!
Something tells me that this match will end badly for Xita, if she continues to taunt Sun like this. 🙁
