So the big question is what is champion Brenda Rua doing talking with the person she beat for the belt, Yvonne Carmichael? O_o
Sun and Xtina are letting loose! Lots of back and forth action. If this keeps up, who will have the advantage?

Brenda Rua talking with the person she beat for the belt, Yvonne Carmichael…
So Yvonne Carmichael is a former world champion?
Brenda easily beat Yvonne for that belt..
where’s Chloe then? did Chloe loss to Yvonne?
as far as I remember Chloe won against Yvonne in a strap match..
come on Albone:
Yvonne Carmichaels vital stats
and finisher?
I think Brenda tends to be a nice person after a match and you just caught the part of the conversation that wasn’t about me. Le Meow.
Looks like Xtina is going for the legs on Sun. Always a good move against the speed fighter, where as Sun’s aiming for the head, and as the old adage goes, “take out the head, and the rest shall follow.” And judging by the last montage panel, the attacks to Sun’s legs haven’t seemed to slow Li’l Dragon down a bit. As for Kyra and Nikki helping sun grab the rope, I’m willing to give sun the benefit of the doubt, as she’s not looking over to the rope to see the monkey business, nor is she calling for help to the other two. Xtina can complain all she wants about it, but the ref was out of position to see it and the ref can only call what they see.
Excuses, excuses.
I wonder how Brenda Rua felt seeing, and talking to Yvonne Carmichael? is Brenda is on defensive mode?
is Brenda felt comfortable talking and meeting Yvonne..
if it’s with Chloe? that would be messy..
I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy the “justifications” the normal, always root for faces folks have for rooting for Sun here, especially since she’s going to get more help from the Damage Inc. lasses whether she wants it or not.
Honestly, Sun doesn’t fit with a stable. I think it made sense at first, when Al planned out the story but characters tend to take a life of their own and Sun doesn’t seem to be a foot soldier that most stables need.
Either way, from what I gather, Sun and Xtina are beating each other senseless.
Lolwut? As far as the IC Rival Angels audience knows, Sun is the heel here and always was.
Uh, dude, not in comic reaction but reactions from the readers.
As characters with backstage lives, they stop being faces or heels. I like Sun, but she’s an asshole. Why does this need justifying? It’s who she is.
You’re all too – excuse the pun – picky about alignment. How many times have we seen that [almost*] every RA character has both face and heel traits within them? Stop deciding your favourites based on whether the company presents them as white hats or black hats!
*Okay, so I’m drawing a blank on face traits in Chloe.
Bah, that last one was meant to go at the end of the comments section.
Haven’t seen enough on most to make that distinction but way to come up with a conclusion to support your view point.
And what I meant by that is that most characters that have been shown (besides the main girls) have only a smattering in info. The only one who’s had a chunk of time is Sara Valentine and, of course, the Hells Belles.
All of the Upstarts, for a start, have rounded personalities with good and bad sides.
Kat and Jen are loyal to each other.
Xtina is arrogant and sarcastic, but she gives her all to entertain the fans.
The Catgirls are fun and bouncy, but they cheat.
Monica Rumble is pushy and self-centred, but she’s honourable.
Gabrielle is cold and pragmatic, but she protects her employees.
Brenda’s almost a model face, but she’d smack your head in for looking at her wrong.
There’s plenty of evidence if you look. The characters may not have had focus, but we’ve seen enough of them to know that they have depth.
Styg: reading is fundamental: “Besides the main girls” so the upstarts won’t count and neither will the Belles or Valentine. Gabrielle is an owner so she doesn’t count for wrestlers. Kat and Jen are Belles so they don’t fall under the most category. Xtina, well, I didn’t mention her but she can be an exception since she has gotten a ton of face time.
What about Sabrina’s first feud? The folks in the second life rumble? Veronica Silver? The Yorkes? They are necessarily paper thin so trying to claim every RA character has traits of face and heel is wrong.
There’s in ring persona and out of ring persona and there have been huge differences shown in the main girls (Sabrina’s insecurity, Brooke’s scheming, Kyrstin’s confidence issues, and Sun is Sun). But past them, Xtina, Valentine and Hell’s Belles the characters are basic templates (which is entirely understandable).
Sometimes all you can go on is what is presented and for some characters, it hasn’t been much (out of necessity). Oddly enough I agree with not deciding favorites based on alignments but we’re coming to the same conclusion via different opinions.
Well well well well well. Brenda Rua I wonder what she has to talk to Yvonne about. Vvvvvveeeeerrrrryyyyyyyyyy interesting. Could it be a rematch being set up? Or could it possibly be….Rua asking for help? I can not wait to see what the champ has to say about this.
Now onto the match. I have nothing to say. I like both girls. And I like Kyra and Nikki as well. I, like picky, can not wait to see the blatantly blind justification of Sun like Iccarrus has already provided. That was classic…almost sounds….just….like…ME.
Brenda, “So back to what I was saying about Snow Kitten…..”
Mystery solved.
I’m just giving Sun the benefit of the doubt here. Could be she didn’t know. Sometimes not all outside help is wanted by the person it benefits (A la Chavo helping Sin Cara against Daniel Bryan) If Sun willingly knows she’s getting help from Damage Inc, I’m not going to justify it, because if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s someone who can’t handle their business 1-on-1
OOOOOO…Yvoone and the Champ!
My kitty ears be a curious!!
I don’t suppose there could be some inside information as to what all that is about hmmm?
Yvoone, “So now when you find the perfect person Like Snow how do you show your appreciation? Flowers, candy, clothings?”
Brenda, “Well I found out that if you….”
I’ll never understand the way that Ablone comes up with his teasers. It is also a good thing he doesn’t come to Brenda’s big fight nights on Tuesday. Gads the things that go on there would require a second comic.
Snow, you know I have the catgirls’ backs. But I have no idea what you mean about Tuesday fight night. Maybe it’s time to cutback on the catnip? The Baileys Irish Cream?
Beat for the belt..
is the belt vacant at first.. so Brenda is the first Rival Angel champ? or Yvonne is the champ, as Brenda beat her?
You can probably tell I’m not real happy about Yvonne’s timing. I’ve got what may be a career pinnacle match coming up, and she wants a meet now? Well, I have some stuff for her to, so it makes some sense. The thing is she’s cagey. She plays realpolitik with the best of them. I figure whatever she wants she’s looking to expand her sphere of influence. Ya know? A title shot? A tag match? There’s always rumbling and grumbling and jockeying in the back too. One of the noobs called it a ballet. I don’t know about that. It times it seems more like a mosh pit at times.
That’s an awesome montage boss! It really highlights the tempo of the match!
Myself, I suspect they’re planning a Secret Sushi Run after the show!
You know, I didn’t realize that Xtina has that amount of submissions in her arsenal… Her vs. Krystin would be an interesting match 🙂 Go Sun go! Take it to that Hockey Puck 🙂
could it be.. Blackwidow called Yvonne for help.. maybe to make Brenda off Focus on her match?
You can bet that Blackwidow will use every trick in the book. Sometimes I think she has read Sun Tzu and Clausewitz. I’m pretty sure she dated Erwi Rommel. Meowww!
woohoo two for two with the Damage aided reach for the ropes callin this match, i’m on a roll! interesting fact about Darth Yvonne- didn;t think of her as an ex-world champ, so she’s the Flair of Damage Inc then. be interesting to someday see a title history of the belt.
as for what they’re talking about seems brenda’s not too happy to be having the chat. but hey at least it’s a sit down conversation and actually seems civil despite Yvonne’s satisfied expression. wonder if Black Widow just announced her signing with Damage Inc or something?
good to see Xtina finally going after Sun’s legs, though it’s not keeping sun grounded just yet. and nice to see the two styles played out, Xtina’s gone pure submission the entire match while Sun goes to the air with the slightest separation. This one won;t be settled for a while yet i’m thinking. <chants along with the crowd>
Damage Inc. and the Champ, hmmmm, could the Queen Damager be offering her stables services to help the champ, but what is the devil’s due in that kind of deal. I have no idea who is going to win the matching but I can’t wait to see more.
Well done, Dyna. XD
MGC, Yvonne’s finisher is the Goldnight, a pedigree. Yvonne was a good champ, she just ran into someone better. What do YOU think her and Brenda are talking about? 😉
It’s all good, Donny. Like who you want to like. I know I created an unique situation by making Sun a reader favorite heel. It’s not unlike Hulk Hogan who blatantly cheated with eye pokes, back rakes, etc and was crazy over.
Picky, you’re definitely right about the ladies going to town on each other. Seems they’re bringing out the best in each other. Sun does seem like a bit of an anomaly in Damage Inc at times, doesn’t she? One would almost think that Sabrina would be a better fit with the team-motif.
BBD, glad you are intrigued by the backstage power meeting as well as the match! But I thought you were a heel favorite by nature. Aren’t you glad to be getting company? XD
Golden Girl, you’ll have to ask the champ herself! You should see if you can find a glass to put up to the door…! (everyone loves gossip.) lol
Snowy, I miss the Tuesday night fights. 😛 Easily fill up a second comic on the extracurricular activities themselves.
Co-signs on the Champ’s comments. 😉
Shhhhh, Cookie Ogre!! Or maybe some fine French bakery and they plan on leaving out Chloe? Oooooh, sick burn for Chloe!! XD
Kurt, it seems that Xtina is keeping the grand tradition of great Canadian technicians alive. Hmmmm, a match between Xtina and Krystin you say?
Go on with your bad self, jpiv! XD I’d love to go into the title history of the belt. Rival Angels has been around for several years so we’re already past the first generation of wrestlers. Black Widow in Damage Inc? It’s hard to say, but we did see Yvonne and Black Widow attending the same, very small party that Gabrielle was hosting at Club Redline. O_o I was happy with how the last panel came out so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
jabberwocky, ANYTHING is possible. Maybe Yvonne is offering Brenda a chance to ‘counteroffer’ a deal with Black Widow? Or something else?
Definitely! Heck, I’d even write it for you if you wanted 🙂

So what could Yvonne and Brenda be talking about?
“Why does everybody keep saying I’m a Kiwi? I’m Irish, dammit!
“Honey, red hair, green eyes, and an aversion to sunlight doesn’t make you Irish. Besides, your last name is Rua. You’re not fooling anybody.
So, do you think anybody knows?
Knows about what?
My sister?
Your sister? You have a sister?
Yeah, you just saw her get her butt handed to her by Black and Blue.
That was her? Well, I think I can see the resemblance…
Ugh, don’t remind me. It’s been a chore just getting her out of the house unless some big convention’s in town. She just loves her cartoons and comic books.
So I take it she came up with the idea for the Catgirls?
No, that would be her little friend. They’re always together, maybe like Kat and Jen are–
Don’t remind me. They should just get a room already.
I wish this moment lasted forever.
Are you trying to get me to sleep with you so I would give you a title shot?
No! Why would you think that?
Good, because I’m not giving you a title shot.
Well, it was worth a sho–wait, what?
So Sun’s in, right?
HA HA! That’s funny. Like we’d ever let someone like Sun in our group.
That’s not right! You’re not letting Sun in because she’s–
Not blonde. Yeah, Sun’s just bait so we can hook our biggest catch ever. Then we can rule this whole company!
So you’re looking at my world title, Kyra and Nikki are going for the tag team titles, so who’s left to take the TV Title?
Why, Sun’s naive little friend, of course. Gabby’s too stubborn to quit on her new pet now, and when she gets her rematch, we’ll be there to bring her into the fold and rule this company with an iron fist!
But Kyra’s not blonde! That’s just a dye job!
A dye job I’m dying to have once she tells me how she does it. Look at it; it’s so perfect! I must have her secret!
ROFL That’s wonderful! Now take that glass from the door and top it off with a good brew. The vendor on the west end has Guinness and Harp too. On tap.
No, none for me thanks. Maybe after the show ;;)
XD
Go sun and again Xitna isn’t much of a face. She fools the fans but one of the only times Im going to agree with the heel comentator the fans can be idiots. Also while cheating Damage Inc still has more class than the Belle’s. Hmm all of helle’s belle’s versus all of damage inc in a no holds bar match that would be entertaining belle’s would get creamed. And I also am intrigued by the talk.
looks like a tough fight for Sun there Al but it wouldnt be rival angels if every fight was an easy walk through the park but i wonder whats gong to be left of these two whenit comes time to finish this
