Chapter: Chapter 9 - Second Chances
Characters: Brooke Lennox, Danielle Perfection
Location: Angel Dome arena
As you can see, some back and forth action but Brooke is in a really bad place. Sun, Sabrina and Krystin might have some ideas, but this is a bad time waiting for Brooke. Can she reverse out of this?
Voting Incentive!
Can Brooke reverse the situation? Vote to see what’s coming up on Wednesday!
Okay, granted, Danielle looks like she’s in pretty good shape, but…
Yikes. That display of power is right up there with… with…
with Sabrina’s crazier feats.
Huh. I’m a little worried now.
Don’t see why an athletic woman who works out all the time and has a strength-based offense shouldn’t be able to catch her own body weight when someone hops at her. She made it easier by depositing Brooke up there and then goading her into it. She obviously knew that the velocity of the jump wouldn’t be that much to counter her base.
Not great with physics, are we?
There are few strength feats more impressive than catching another person out of the air. It’s amazing. Seriously, wow. Also, it’s almost always done with a significantly larger person catching. Newton rules. It’s much, much more difficult to remain in one place and stop the incoming mass if you don’t have an inertia advantage.
It’s hard to tell, but to me, Brooke looks to have about a 10% size advantage over Danielle. Even if that’s not the case, and they’re simply even, catching Brooke mid-leap is quite the feat. You really do need an advantage to make it work, and even then, it’s not easy. At all.
Maybe it’s not on the level of Sabrina breaking a shinai, but still…
Comics being what they are, likely the best way to explain it is that between panels 5 and 6, something like this happened:
Danielle stepped forward, bending at the knees to evade the attempted double axe handle and pushing upward, driving her shoulder into Brooke’s midsection and providing a counter to the force of Brooke’s leap as she caught the Aussie around the waist. This drove the ginger Yank back a step, but she was able to keep the hold, straighten up, then shoot her left arm between Brooke’s legs to turn her to the side.
Which is still an impressive feat, (not only of strength but of timing and balance as well,) but one that seems just within the realm of possibility.
Yeah, that does a lot fewer nasty things to my disbelief-suspenders. It would’ve been bad enough if Brooke had gone for a cross-body and gotten snatched, but it kinda looks like Danielle both grabbed her out of the air and turned her sideways at the same time, which, the more I think about it, is just mind-boggling.
Turning it into a multi-step clever technique instead of just doing something that should push Amanda to her physical limits, let alone someone much smaller, just works better for me.
Even the ref looks stunned :D.
Referee Sharon Gonzales sees a lot of jaw dropping instances up close. 😉
I don’t blame you for being worried by that catch. She is really strong to be able to do that.
Most of the time when I jump on Brenda she goes over like a weblow.
Huh? I go over like a boyscout? Well I do have my charms…
Didn´t expect the last panel: well done Danielle :).
She like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects it.
Well, I expected Danielle to have a counter to that leap, but WOW. Not that one.
I agree, I was expecting her to flip Brooke.
Like I flip you? ;;)
*flips off Brenda*
*snatches the bird in mid air, just like Danielle *evil grin (for the pun anyway)
Does everything have to devolve into “pull my finger” around you? 😛
She’s got a lot of power. I promised you guys that Brooke would fight a powerful redhead.
I love powerfull redheads :D. Looks like Brooke didn´t have time to climb on the ropes & go down really full force at Danielle. But still jumps like that would put many opponents on their back, but not Danielle. Yes, she will be a force to be reckoned with :D!
So far, so good. Brooke has learned a bit in Sabrina’s absence and her bravado seems to have improved as well. I know she’s the heel in this strip, but I see her as the underdog, too.
Aren’t must heels under foot? So this is an improvement for Brooke, she’s gone above the foot but I think she will be under foot when she gets slammed.
Brooke’s not shy about letting people know when she’s got the upper hand, but Brooke has a lot of fans too so she gets support.
Geez, I think she’s on the gas!
I liken Perfection to Death Ray. So, maybe? jk jk
Speaking of people looking bigger in ring gear than in street clothes.
Though in her case, it’s more that she’s bulked up quite a lot since she first started out, so my perception of Sara was never “big girl”.
Oh yah, been there, totally hate it when that happens!
Don’t peeps understand that they are supposed to fall over!?!
humpfh!
OH! And Ms. Kitten, Brenda totally said I should pick up her cookies for her…
X3
I agree when jumped on you should be polite and fall over. The last girl that I got on her back I sat on her hips and put my feet in her face until she begged me to get off her.
Gives you the big bag of chocolate chip cookies and almond surprise cookies. Don’t forget to share with Brenda and when you do watch your fingers.
All excellent advice
*nomnom*
…oh…Brenda…
..
…I don’t think Snowey made you any cookies…
*…nom…nom…*
Say what?!?#? Oh, somebody is gonna get a taste all right – a taste of the Celtic Hammer! And what’s that on your lip…
…nothing…
*…nom…*
Yeah, some peeps can be so rude! btw, great showing in the Eurasian semi-finals. 🙂
Dear Snow Kitten & Brenda try these:
http://www.la-boheme.nl/bonbons.asp (i don´t have connections with that company, but they are really delicious ha ha).
Horrible of you to taunt poor Brenda that way. She’s watching her figure, don’t you know?
SOMEONE has to, after all… 😀
You´re welcome Callie :p. But yeah you´re right: she has to be in shape for her next opponents ;-).
Sammie! You’re right, it totally sucks when that happens! The thing that happens next is almost never fun. Poor Brooke*.
*I may have had an evil grin on my face when I said “Poor Brooke”
Yeah I hate to say it, but Brooke’s being toss around like a rag doll. She needs some true clever moves to escape this match. 🙁
I’m thinking a good move would be Amanda.
Amanda’s a good equalizer but don’t count Brooke out yet. She’s showing offense, like in the first panel.
I’m not liking her chances of finding a ‘clever’ move. Any tiny-weight will tell her that jumping off the ropes at someone who knows you’re coming is really really dumb.
We’re sseing that out of street clothes Danielle is heftier than she first appeared. She’s sporting a pretty thick core there, rather brave for spandex too. So the catch, while still impressive, isn’t as jaw dropping as we thing going into the episode. Gotta love the ref’s expression though hehee
I’m glad you caught the difference, Champ!
A while back during a SHIMMER show, I noticed that Mena Libra was a big girl in the ring, but in her ring clothes at the afterparty, she looked like a regular gal. Same for Portia Perez. She looks tiny in the ring, but at the afterpary, not so much.
Seems like Brooke’s having more trouble with the rookie than she or anyone else anticipated. She’s a power girl, very rarely do they come off the top with any success. (Vader and Sheamus not withstanding). Though when nothing else you’ve done so far seems to be effective, you’ve got to go outside your usual bag of tricks
Well, Sabrina might’ve known…XD But yeah, that’s the problem with not knowing the enemy. They’ve got all the surprise on their side.
I thought Brooke is strong..
here she seems weak.. and light..
tsk tsk…
is Brooke o a diet,
yey Danielle Perfection win..
I see this…
Brooke anger Sabrina for not helping..
Yep, you guessed the surprise…Brooke angry at Sabrina for not helping.
Brooke fans of the world unite.
Me? I’m wearing my shiny black slicker as a sign of solidarity even though there isn’t a rain cloud in sight.
Anyway. I’m not worried. Brooke’s got this!
Brooke fans go around in plastic macks, do they? 😀
It’s an easy way to show solidarity. XD
there’s a lot of fan base overlap with Gallagher. Just look at their merchandising; they both sport melons 😀
Well played.
But Brooke’s don’t go flying everywhere.
Ummm. Alright. So they do. It’s part of her…charm.
Hmmm, Brooke should probably leave the high-flying stunts to the pros (ie: Sabby).
Sound advice.
