Man, I’d fire that ref. He seems to have both his contacts in the same eye. He’s been missing things from both sides. Not the finest day in his career
Well sadly it seems that the people in charge of wrestling hire the most inept people out there. Did you see that? Yes… Your fired!
Donny, maybe he’s trying to even the playing field a little? I’d say that warning takes some guts. I’d accept him for my match.
But if his back is to the center in the VI, I’m not so sure Xtina isn’t leaving herself open for some nasty. But would the Sun in the ring go there?
Probably.
I am thnking Xtina is about to get hit hard since the ref looked away.
I had a feeling Xtina would do the pull away from the rope break. Sun’s probably playing possum. I have a feeling this is going to be the screwjob ending to build up for something later.
To bad she did use Sun instead of her fist to solve the insult.
Sun’s antics are starting to look a bit better in comparison. The Damage Inc girls are legitimately trying to get the ref to do his job on this page. He wasn’t even being distracted when he should’ve been making that call – he was just napping on the job. Yes, Champ, he’s got guts, but he appears to have traded in his eyes and/or attention span for them. Less than ideal.
What the heck is Xtina thinking? She cheats to keep the hold locked in, then gives it up to punch someone calling her on it? I’m getting confused. I just was starting to develop a little grudging respect for her, based on her tenacity, but her idiocity killed it again. Sometimes she seems like a solid contender, and sometimes she makes Sun look like a seasoned pro in comparison. I hope Sun counters whatever comes next and wrecks her good.
Well she was suppose to break the hold right? So she took an extra moment to do it.
Dragon, you got good point. Xtina get too frustrated and lashing out – she may end up getting herself DQ’ed instead of Damage Inc.
Sun will win the match, she has to much side help to lose it. Well unless of course her side help gets a case of the stupids.
I know send in Kong!
as a wise man once said: “I have until five” when it comes to breaking the hold so yeah Sun got in the ropes forcing the break- at 4.5 Xtina releases the hold to go deck Nikki. Sun did seem a bit too pleased with herself for reaching the ropes originally not thinking Xtina would pull a page from the heel handbook and drag her back off it again.
Like the little Dawn/Jeff switch in panel 2 where Dawn’s the one ignoring the refusal to break the hold while Jeff’s demanding that the rules be followed.
almost looks like Xtina’s showing concern for Sun’s well being in the last panel but the VI seems to be screaming “low blow incoming”
Panel 1: How did Sun crawled towards the ropes? Xtina is stronger, Sun couldn’t dragged her body, with Xtina’s weight as she grabs the bottom rope?
Panel 2: see Sun.. Sun released the ropes.. that should be still legal.. Xtina can’t break the hold..
The referee been paid..
Panel 5: Sun is in pain.. this is the only time, I saw Sun in anguish pain.. Sabrina/Sun is still okay.. but this is too much for Sun..
Damn it Sun… STAY DOWN
Sun’s probably just more flexible than you think, MGC. 😉 But hey, now we see that your “face” is every bit the dirty player as you (correctly) accuse Sun of being! Yeah, I’m still rooting for the honest villain. Hang in there, Sun!
Honest Villain..
Oxymoron..
I must admit, Sun looks super cute when she’s super pleased with herself!
Yes, I am that shallow about these things.
Cute!
Donny, the refs have it rough. I think until Gabrielle does something about the extra peeps at ringside, this is going to be a consistent problem. That being said, the different refs have different skill levels. The one that will be doing Sabrina/Chloe match and the one doing the Brenda/Black Widow match will be the best.
Champ, it’s been said that NFL refs do that, allow some leeway in a game, or try to right a bad call. In either case, I’d think that it’d be appropriate here too.
Picky, you think Sun would try something tricky here at the end? If she does, she’s on her own since Nikki got taken out and the ref is with Kyra. Unless…someone new enters the match? I mean, could Sabrina, for instance, be showing up next update?
Dragonman and Dyna, we’re seeing Xtina at the end of her patience. In her mind, she won this match before it even started and in her mind, with moderate struggle. Reality has her struggling more than this and she’s not happy with it. Now, she’s serious and Nikki got her jaw jacked and Sun is about to get some Dynamite for her troubles.
jpiv, that is a great point the 5 count. Glad you appreciated Sun’s surprise. XD The overall role reversal with Sun a heel but reader favorite and Xtina the face, but not really a favorite of the fans is a lot of fun.
MGC, you should know by now that Sun is a fighter. Of course, maybe Xtina was toying with Sun? Sun is a fighter but maybe she’s at the end of her rope. Xtina is super tough and losing to her isn’t shameful.
Hey Cookie Ogre! Yeah, Sun is flexible and pretty small compared to some of the other girls so she can wriggle and escape with the best of them.
Golden Girl, it’s all good. 😀
And Yay Snow for all of her comments!
Cheating to keep a hold she knows she should break, breaking the hold when she knows she could now get a submission, and now likely going for a pin when the ref is distracted. Whatever Xtina’s entrance theme is, win or lose, somebody should forcefully change it to Weird Al’s Canadian Idiot.
yeah Xtina not looking so much the clean palyer herself now is she? aall yells about sin cheating but Xtina pulled the dirty trick of keeping the hold even when it should be a rope break. in the end tho its gonna come down to Xtina not as smart as Sun cause she not even smart enough to press her advenge and ignore them.
Okay Xtina didnt break the hold when the Ref could obviously see she made the ropes unassisted this time i think, then she lets nikki have it, and then ref blames Kyra for interfreing in the match when she hasnt really done any thing. What the crap is that !!!?? send this ref back to ref school or get a perscritpion for some glasses cuz he obviously has some vision impairment
LoL Jenn. Pot and kettle? I’ve got something for you, Miss Hardcore 😀
What bothers me here, and when it happens in televised wrestling as well, is the commentators double standard. I expect the heel commentator to be biased, that’s their job, but if the other commentator is going to comment negatively on the heel (or tweener) cheating they shouldn’t turn a blind eye when the alleged face does it.
One thing I do like about this is that the contrast between on screen behavior and how they act when the cameras are off is largely accurate. While some people really are like they act (apparently John Cena is a pretty nice guy), others it’s a world of difference. Randy Orton is from what I hear a very polite, pleasant person out of the ring. The Dynamite Kid (parallels… hmmm) was a fantastic wrestler… and by his own admission a complete jerk behind the scenes. Then there’s Shawn Michaels, who has been both extremes — pre-2000 he was a complete prat, but he cleaned up his act as he got older.
Now it does add a twist when we consider the premise in the comic that wrestling is real and not scripted, but it can be argued pretty easily that people approach their work differently than their spare time. Of course, things can blur when what’s in the ring affects what happens out of the ring, but that’s true in real life pro wrestling as well.
Bad luck for Sun, but I don’t mind seeing her in pain. 😉
Tarrasque, in Xtina’s defense, she’s responding to a lot of things at once. I think she’s going in for the kill currently as well.
Jenn, I think Xtina is fighting fire with fire, so to speak. The match is coming to close so it’s a matter of who wants the victory more, and how low will they go to get it.
Comichero, the ref is under great stress with the Damage girls and Sun pulling their tricks, plus Xtina getting down and dirty with them too. He needs some help!
Redwulf, as I encourage readers to cheer and root on who they like, the same thing kind of goes for the commentators. It’d be nice if Dawn could be completely unbiased but not many commentators are.
Adon, I’m not always a fan of the ‘grey area’ of storytelling, but I think with having Sun a likable character to readers but a heel, and Xtina not so much likeable to the readers but the fans love is a nice twist to the storyline. After all, it makes some readers that are hardcore heel fans cheering for faces!
Darkmark, she’s certainly twisting it!
