Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Gabrielle Reni, Sabrina Mancini
“It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.”
And really that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? To be the best and to be recognized for your accomplishments? Sabrina is seeing what that looks like tangibly for the very first time.
Friday Preview!
Take a swing on over to the Rival Angels Fan Page and get a glimpse of what’s coming up, and maybe even LIKE the page and/or image if you think it’s fitting. 😉
Three G’s in premium? Isn’t that what Jack Burton paid every year to insure his truck?
LOL…
Nice reflection effect, boss…
The Porkchop Express was a mean machine. and thanks!! 😀
Seems strange that she wouldn’t have someone who could speak both French and English with her. Poor planning.
(Message to Ultragirl Sabrina Mancini)
Sabrina… Sabrina… HEY SABRINA….
“This isn’t the sword in the stone”… “You are not Batista” (WWE.. as in Evolution, as Batista holds Triple H belt, and just stared at it)..
Get a life, Get back in the line… AND LOSE
M.G.C. is on the line in this match..
I place a bet on myself… SABRINA MUST LOSE THIS…
I think MGC swas their reflection in the belt instead of Sabrina’s.
I’ve realized… I’ve never actually seen Chloe in a match, or even use a move other than her finisher… I’m starting to get really curious about her fighting style since she IS the leader
I think here style is get in the match, get in trouble, have her girls cheat, pull off the win.
Hmm. Sabrina is holding the strap and Brenda is out of action for the foreseeable future. What could this mean? Hmm
A chance for her to fill like a winner even if it is an illusion but if it works out right that illusion will come true.
Good storytelling so far. Building up steam, and it’s hard to think that Sabrina won’t identify with the champ vis a vis the beatdown.
When it comes to beat downs Sabrina knows a lot about them.
M.G.C. signing off..
Thanks for the years of entertaining me, and the comics Albone..
one comic I really love.. Love to collect.. but sometimes, bitter end.. is what I like..
Thanks again Albone..
I’m really afraid this match..
maybe I’ll wait for the PDF files (Rival Angels release)..
M.G.C. signing off..
Thanks everybody.. BBD.. Mo Chen.. Donny.. Brenda and Snowkitten..
What do you mean you are signing off?
MGC, you’re really that bugged that Sabrina could leave PPV as champion? It’s a story… sorry bubba but sometimes the good girl does win.
Yes.. I am bugged that Sabrina will be champion..
Goodgirl winning is fine with me..
if it’s Brenda.. Catgirls..
now Brenda is going out.. and Sabrina is in..
Facepalm
MGC? You’re leaving? But why?
MGC, plenty of good girls have lost at the PPV, including Sabrina going down in flames against Kat.
Sabrina losing to Katherine.. is good, and sweet for a noob..
but Sabrina winning against Chloe.. noob VS a Pro.. it’s not content to see, not even possible..
I’ll be easy to see. if it’s Chloe (POV) a heel storyline. then Chloe losing..
also..what if Sabrina wins the belt..
It’s hard to see Brenda not holding that belt..
Brina’s not leaving the PPV as a champ at all. she already lost to Kat and just because she’s the person in who’s hands the belt is currently at, doesn’;t mean her match with chloe is going to be for the title. Brenda’s got 30 days to scrape herself off the mat/hospital bed before she has to defend the belt again.
only if she can;t make it would the belt be stripped from Brenda and some tourney/battle royale/ Gabby picks the two top contenders to fight it out for the new champ. Brina’s not really in the mix even if she beats Chloe somehow seeing how she already lost to Kat (though if there’s a tourney the fact she beat chloe would get her a spot in it- pair of losses and she can hold Sun’s bags for her while Sun goes for the belt).
though i have to say, after everyone takes off and leaves Brina alone if someone came up to her and said “OK sbarina your match is next get out there.” Brina looks around for someone to hand the belt to, no one’s around so she takes it out to ringside with her because she doesn;t know what else to do with it. Jeff goes ballistic.
I think MGC just saw the foreshadowing in the reflection of Sabby’s face and worried that the story might jump the gun. But, bossman has already gave a definite NO to that idea.
So, please MGC – reconsider?
…
…so very shiney…
…
…wouldn’t mind a peek myself…
The reflection in the belt is wrong. I peeked at it once and it was me there. Albone you blew it and you might want to fix it.
Good point, snow. That was the one time you got it polished up nice. Go figure LoL
The precious…
Albone, this possibly my favourite RA strip ever. <3
Sigh, no Soup for you.
No Seinfeld quotes would be preferable :p
They say “once you hold the belt, you’re hooked” I mean, of course Sabrina wanted to be champ before she held it, it’s the biggest prize in RA, and as a certain Human Suplex Machine said before “If you don’t want to be champ, you’re in the wrong business” but now that Sabrina’s held the title in her hands, even if she’s just a temporary caddy while Gabby gets the French Emergancy opperator off his duff, I have a feeling it’s going to be a rallying point for her.
Wow! I have been in Sabrina’s shoes before. The one thing your ultimately after is handed to yu and all you can do is stare. It’s called inspiration and something like being told to hold onto it by the commissioner… well, it made me work harder at my goals and likely it will do the same to ‘Brina. Here’s to a speedy recovery Brenda Rua! I hope that attack does’nt end your career. I have teh feeling Gabrielle is thinking lawsuit if the french don’t hurry the hell up. Great panel Al Last few weeks have been some of the best work ever.
What the hell MGC here I have returned to help carry the load for heel commentary and you are bailing for now….Do not stay gone long….or forever bro!
Back to the comic…if Brenda is out…then that means there will be a tourney for the title. Snow Kitten….drop your weak link of a partner and go for the gold. And Sabrina should stop having delusional dreams while she is holding that title. stupid commish is over inflating her already big head. like the fans here have not done that enough.
Hurry up and come back Rua…I want to message your neck…then your back…then everywhere else to make sure your all better.
Gee thanks. I think. *Grins*
BBD..
Seeing Sabrina beat Chloe.. it’s too bright.. can blind me in agony..
I might return on season 2.. or after the match..
still.. if Chloe wins.. I can’t see.. it’s the price I have to pay BBD..
If they try moving Brenda as she is, it could kill her or at least put her into a wheelchair for life. She definitely needs a C-Spine collar and a backboard. They have no choice but to wait for the EMTs to come get her.
Awesome chapter, boss. That last panel says it all, not just about Brina, but what it’s all about for all of us.
MGC, I hate to see you so panicy emo. I actually was just re-reading some of your comments from around page 81 and smiling. I see you too are caught up in the gold lust.
Ph3n0m, you are exactly correct that we’ve never seen Chloe’s fighting style before but we’re about to. 😉
Shazam, there does seem to be an awful lot of symbolism in this update.
Thanks Darkmark, and I too think that Sabrina can identify with the Champ on a few levels.
Snowy, you’re right about Sabrina knowing what a beatdown feels like, especially at the Belles expense. I think you’re right too about Chloe’s fighting style.
jpiv, I don’t think I’m ruining anything by saying that the World title isn’t going to be decided on the PPV. In fact, I read some comments and thought, “WTF?” But, that is the price to pay for having to wait for updates. A lot of your reasoning makes sense. Will we some of that reasoning unfold in the coming updates? And will it be heeded or ignored?
Golden Girl, I think you’d see a bright future reflecting back at you.
LOL @ Chris!
Long distance high-five to Styg!
Donny, I’m glad you see the gravity of this moment for Sabrina. It could be a rallying point for Sabrina, but she seems to get a lot of gas from the fans and for the lack of a better word, rage.
Thanks, Wokinshadoze! That’s cool that you can identify with what Sabrina’s going through at the end of this update. It’s bound to leave a lasting impression on her.
BBD, with so much chaos going on, it’s hard to say for sure what’s going to happen. However, I think things will get a little clearer on Friday. 😉
Coel, you are absolutely right!!! And I don’t mind telling you that Gabrielle agrees with you 100%.
Thanks, Champ! 🙂
*high five!*
and kat smith had NO right to win that match honestly if de sade wins I’ll be out because that woman is a talentless cheater with no real style. SO MGC your full of crap. De SADE IS NOT a pro at anything I doubt she could wrestled a five year old and win without the help of others. Why people insist on saying she has talent I have no fing clue the woman is a talentless hack of a tramp
Chloe De Sade, beat Brenda twice, and also got a skybox, which Gabrielle gave Chloe..
while Sabrina? is a noob..
Y’know, I’d love to know how Chloe beat Brenda. If it was a typical Hell’s Belles “team effort” win, then she’s no more a talented wrestler than Brooke is, only willing or able to fight when she’s got an overwhelming advantage, and that matches what we’ve seen so far.
Chloe is a coward and an idiot. She got where she is on the backs of other, more powerful people. Her attitude won’t carry her much longer.
I am not a Hell’s Bells fan at all. Infact i dislike them but to call Chloe De Sade talentless is just plain wrong. She can fight on her own if need be. THe thing is Chloe chooses not to fight her own battles because she doesn’t have too. That;s the difference and that is why the Hell’s bells are so feared. Individually they are all talented wrestlers. Together, they’re unstoppable.
Thank you Wokinshadoze
Wokinshadoze, you say it as if you know it for a fact, when we’ve never, ever seen a member of Hell’s Belles win on their own merits. They fight three on one, or they lose. So many of the posters who love heels are nasty about Sabrina being a rookie, but she’s got a win over Jennifer Needles, and had Kat Smith beat before Kat’s teammates showed up. That’s 2/3 of the stable.
Now, we haven’t seen Chloe fight yet, but she’s the leader of the group, and expects support from the others as a matter of course. She just said so in her last appearance in the comic. This time, against a wrestler that they ambushed in an alley a few days ago, and has already had an intense match against all of Hell’s Belles at once earlier the same night. Plus, she also seems to be on drugs, and is resorting to harassment like “GO TEST SABRINA’S BLOOD, NOT MINE!” De Sade is a train wreck, personally and professionally. Her career is dead on its feet anyway. She needs to go.
So many of the posters who love heels are nasty about Sabrina being a rookie who’s been pushed down our throats from the start despite her being a midcarder in developmental and the many other, better wrestlers who could have benefited from that shot in the arm.
but she’s got a win over Jennifer Needles,
Mhmm…
and had Kat Smith beat before Kat’s teammates showed up. That’s 2/3 of the stable.
Back and forth wrestling match which included Sabrina Mancini dominating all of Hell’s Belles until the ref intervened. From there, it was total domination. Nope, didn’t see anything about Sabrina having the match well in hand before the rest of the Belles ran in.
That’s called ‘selective perception.’ Chloe bought enough time for Kat to recover for the kickout, and said so cheerfully.
Dragon man ren, That’s called teamwork that your seeing, Yes they interfere in each other’s matches. Go back and look at the Needles -Mancini match. Needles more than once displays that she knows what she is doing in the ring. Kat beat the crud out Mancini. Pure and simple. And De Sade? well I saw that graphic of Sweet agony and I wouldn’t want that applied to me. Besides with a name like Desade you can bet she loves pain. She be tough in the cage and even harder to make quit.
Tiffany, you are deluding yourself if you think that Sabrina deserved to beat Kat. Kat simply beat her, that’s all. Even Sabrina admitted that, and she would take ANY moment to complain (god, she complains more than Monica Rumble).
And, for that matter, Sabrina deserved alot worse than she got. Chloe should have NAILED that top rope foot stomp onto Sabrina and finished her off then and there.
Sabrina put up a great fight and nearly won a three-on-one brawl against the same classless thugs who ambushed her in an alley and tried to end her career. She was fighting injured, without fan support, and trying to conserve energy for another fight later in the night against the SAME WOMEN.
And how did Sabrina “deserve alot (sic) worse than she got”? Seriously, what has she done to deserve being “finished off then and there”?
The ambulance wasn’t on standby as requested and paid for? Wow, somebody’s in a LOT of legal trouble… Hope Brenda is okay and makes a speedy recovery! I’d hate for her to lose the belt because of this mess.
Also looking forward to seeing the last match of the evening, but definitely have to make sure Brenda is being tended properly first. Maybe we can use the break while the ambulance gets here to explore dangling plot threads?
Hmmmmm more fore shadowing will Brenda help teach the young fighter if shes unable to return to the ring, I have a sneaking suspision she might or will Bree seek out a rematch with Kat, hmmmmmwaht will happen
then on the other hand knowing Gabs this could all be a ploy to get bree to fighter harder and to become the best fighter she can be
I like that idea about Brenda being a mentor. She’s very good at it. Maybe she might need someone to spar with Sabrina too… Not that Mo Chen is implying anything…
Offering your assistance in the training the young Sabrina are you Mo chen?
and im not really sure when this happened but i feelike some how i became Bree’s promoter or manager type person maybe its my Imagination what do you think Al?
Comichero, if Sabrina’s okay with it, so am I. XD
looks like sabrina’s eyes are shining up as she holds that gold. now as for if sabrina can beat chole. her being a rookie may mean chole has more exp but doesn’t make it impossable. plus since rival angels started chole hasn’t had one match. she just been doing cheap shots and i could see some rust formed on her. plus ina cgae she won’t have too much of the numbers advange.sorry but chole never striked me as all that great in first palce and add the possable rust she has.. yeah
Mind you, Chloe is still expecting support from her team. Not sure how they’ll accomplish it, in a cage, but she said so last time the comic showed her face.
Oh, poor Sabrina…she blew it earlier in the night and now she’s got to hold that sweet / fashionable belt in her hands. 🙁
Quick Sabrina! Try it on for size 🙂 You know reach for that obtainable goal 🙂 It’s within your grasp. No pressure now 😀
LMAO!
I dunno. There’s plenty of people who lead groups and make the others do the work, and their skills suffer for it, or at least appear to in the case of scripted promotions, as they do little to nothing and their lackeys do everything. There are exceptions, but given the fact that we’ve never seen Chloe fight before tonight, we don’t know how good she is. Sure, she beat Brenda twice, but what are the details of those losses? Is Chloe better than Brenda at the end of the day, or was it business as usual for Hell’s Belle’s? We don’t know.
What we do know is that Chloe has been in the ring a lot longer than Sabrina has, and that means a lot. Karma’s a bitch, so being in an I Quit steel cage match means even if Chloe does win, she probably won’t walk out by her own power. Add to that the last time an I Quit match happened in a real promotion, just a couple of months ago, in fact, the person everybody was expecting to win did, but not before his opponent tried to cheat and used a recording of them saying they quit, but was found out. Sound familiar? It’s happened twice, but the second time was a lot quicker coming than the first.
Anyway, it is a double-edged sword, motivated by seeing her reflection in the World Heavyweight Championship as Sabrina might be or not. Everything she can do to Chloe, Chloe can do to her, and she’s planning even more, while Sabrina appears to have nothing, but Damage Inc. is a wildcard. As much as Sabrina would love to say to all her fans “I earned this.” of the World Heavyweight Championship, or even the Television Championship, after earning a shot, she still has to prove, wrongly considering Chloe de Sade is insane, that she can hang with the big dogs. Will she? Dunno. I put Sabrina’s odds of just walking out without help at 50/50 at best. The optimist in me says everything will turn out right for Sabrina, even if there is still some ambiguity at the end of the night concerning Damage Inc.. However, considering the fact the vast majority was expecting Sabrina to become the first-ever Rival Angels Television Champion and my own lack-luster record of calling this entire event, is it any wonder why my optimistic side is a starving mutt while my pessimistic side is a rabid wolf?
Ha! As if Sabrina can beat Chloe! Your worried over nothing MGC bro. Sabrina getting a world title shot? That is so far away and down the road it is ridiculous. here is what will happen, Sabrina following the champ to the hospital because she was to stubborn to give up. She will lose conscious from a hold or a move.
And what ridiculous notions Dragon and Tiffany have. They are the typical buy anything the commish sell fans. Sabrina has not earned anything yet and she flaunts around as if she has. She has the audacity to be cocky after losing a match. You see she has never hit rocked bottom yet because she never had to start from there when she got to Rival Angels like everyone else.
And where has snow been….I hope she takes my advice.
Thanks BBD..
the one thing.. it’s still uncertain mystery..
what if Sabrina win? (I used calculations.. like she won against Xtina)
could it be Sabrina’s only weakness are power wrestlers?
I really appreciate to beat Sabrina..
Very powerful shot on that last panel. Nicely done, nicely done.
Thanks, Lora! 🙂
Bossman, I hope that no matta’ how the bickering here go – that you look and see that WE bicker like old women about a world and people YOU created. That say a lot, when RA is so real to us that we fight and debate over who shoulda’ won or lost.
Mo Chen fan from first page and I be a fan til last page. Whether or not somebody get fair shake in the ring or backstage, these girls have become very real part of my day to day.
It’s all good. I do have to refrain from answering to much because I don’t want to ruin and short-term and long-term plans. I mean, a lot of readers answers are coming up in 12 hours so it’ll be fun to see how it shakes out.
And I’m thrilled that everyone is so passionate, love and/or hate, it’s all good.
Wow a lot of heated discussions over this page. I’ve been following along as of late but haven’t had a lot to say. I most certainly see Sabrina winning the main event. I think this page has a lot to do with foreshadowing the future of the company. It doesn’t mean Sabrina is walking out of the PPV with Brenda’s championship. People need to honestly stop dropping to conclusions.
Hope one day that World Title will be around Sabrina.
If Brenda’s neck/spine is seriously damaged, then IMHO Gabrielle will either:
1) Have Brenda stabilized and flown back home for surgery, or
2) Have the doctor flown to Paris to perform the surgery.
It will depend on how much Brenda can be safely moved without aggravating the injury.
Oh my goodness! So much has happened since I last stopped by. I’m looking forward to Chloe getting a much needed spanking, and I am also (slightly guilty-pleasure-style) looking forward to Brooke getting shanked in the bathroom. Followed closely by Michael. And then Vincent because he’s a panty-waste, and I just can’t forget him.
Wow! MGC’s threat to leave actually got Brenda out of her coma! That’s great ’cause I was really worried about her…
Some others here have said that Gabrielle has lost control of Rival Angels, and after what several wrestlers have done both in and out of the ring, I think they are right. When someone attacks like BW did, she thinks the benefits out weigh the consequences – and that is an environment created by management. Gabrielle has a lot of work to do to keep RA from imploding…
I’m guessing that Gabrielle paid for the ambulance in American dollars rather than euros, so she only paid for half the night…
Gabrielle’s expression in panel three is just awesome – I love the snarl!
And Sabrina, holding that belt – I’ll bet her heart is beating faster than Amanda Breaker’s and Black Widow’s chasing the ice cream truck on a hot summer day!
