Chapter 10-Page-5-Different Strokes
I don’t think the kiss will show up in the transcripts, lucky for Michael. We’re caught up with what Brooke’s been up to, but it looks like she’s got a long way to go to get where she wants to be, and not just in the ring.

Every day I pray that there will be some semblance of a happy ending waiting for Brooke in the end.
Historically Brooke’s been the type to give happy endings.
Brooke does have happy endings but they end really quick.
If it weren’t for bad luck she’d have no luck at all.
So did you ever think Brooke would be the one we like and the other two we wouldn’t?
Brooke is growing on me…
Darn her and her efforts to grow as a person!
If she keeps this up I might have to write her on the list!
Brooke would like that too.
I hope that Brooke REMAINS THE ARROGANT HEELISH DOUBLE D GODDESS within the ring, even if she trying to be NICE outside the ring. I like HEEL Brooke and want her to REMAIN that way! lol
Bossman, love you work but Brooke’s face in panel 5 looks wonky.
It’s because she’s Australian.
I thought that was just her usual “YOUR SOUL IS MINE!” face.
if your countries anthem had “tan me hide when I’m dead, fred” as the highest aspiration, you’d look wonky too.
You realise YOUR anthem is set to the tune of a British drinking song, right?
Ex-Australian. I voted her off the continent remember? My word is final!
.. unless I change my mind.
As far as Vince’s apology… who particularly cares about the refs? They’re supposed to be nameless and unobtrusive. When they act otherwise, they don’t call a press conference, they just get fired. Unless “referee” is a much higher profile position in RA than in literally every other sports league and organization in history.
I agree, he never had to say a thing and people would have forgotten about him. They would be thinking how Sabrina ran away from the fight. Some people just don’t know when to slink into a corner and hide.
Maybe he’s been watching WWE and is working for GM too… In that light, being talked about is better than not being talked about at all…
Basically, he’s taking the heat for what went down, but as you saw in the last few updates, Michael’s still sweating it.
Dude.
That kiss will totally appear on the transcripts.
I would totally hear it.
*nod*

Baby ‘Brina Watch!
Sabrina-Ripley’s desire to discover the world around her has evolved into batting at things with her tiny little fists.
I haven’t decided yet if this bodes well or ill…

YouTube of the Day!

Must…watch…movie…
This bodes poorly. I don’t think the kiss will be recorded but if I know who things work someone will be in the room just in time for the kiss. Lack of context.
Aww, better teach her soon that mommies are for kisses, not for bopping
She’s bopped mommies nose a few times now XP Fortunately her little hands are teenie tiny and its just adorable.
Sabrina-Ripley won’t be taking my title belt just yet…
Bop bop bop | bop bop a wren π
Sammie’s a wren?
uh-oh she’s mastered the “flailing fists of adorable fury” technique now. Sabrina-Ripley will be the new Paige beating mommy for all her title belts.
LMAO! I was thinking the first part, but that second part had me LOL at my desk. XD Sabrina Ripley can continue the Legacy connection!
Hear that, Sammie? Sab-Rip’s gonna hang with Orton.
Exploring and understanding the world through violence? I approve!
I’m glad to see Brooke trying to grow up and take responsibility for her actions on the wedding.
I mean it was Michael that messed things up in the first place for keeping it all a secret. It looks like he doesn’t regret it at all. π
Unlike Brooke who suffered for her actions and is somehow trying to fix things with everyone. Surely someone’s has to see that Brooke’s trying to change for the better, right ? π
YOU see the change that Brooke is trying!
‘Bout damn time Brooke started to wise up and try to grow as a person. I don’t think anyone, save for Michael enjoyed how she was before… and even then, it wasn’t her personality he was enjoying. Next step from here is buckling down and improving her craft. Who knows, she might make a decent wrestler yet
Ummm There’s no good way to say this… But Michael isn’t the only one who’s enjoyed how she was…
Decent wrestler? She wouldn’t have earned a TV Title match if she wasn’t at least a decent wrestler. She wouldn’t still have her job if she wasn’t at least a decent wrestler.
Unfortunately, being a good wrestler isn’t always a requirement to have a job (even a successful one), in wrestling.
Sure, maybe in real life where pro wrestling is fake. But in this fictional comic world where pro wrestling is a real competition…
Nope, statement still stands. A lot of talented folks don’t get a fraction of what they deserve, while a lot of…less than talented folk enjoy a great deal of success.
In wrestling, having a strong marketing image will take you far.
Now if Brooke can combine that with better talent (which you only earn one way), she could very well be golden.
Tyrannus, look at MMA or boxing, especially the women’s sports. I can think of a number of competitors of middling talent who got pushed as faces of the sports. It’s not limited to combat sports, either. Anna Kournikova comes to mind.
Buddy, did you even read how she got the job in the first place? 14 months in developmental until she… “Performed some favors” for the guy who makes the decision about who gets called up. Not to mention every victory We’ve seen her get either came with the help of outside interference, or at the hands of her tag team partner. There might have been ONE early on, I’m not sure. The fact is, most of Brooke’s pushes came from the fact that she could draw heat, looked good on camera, and was willing to “work off camera”
Vince continues to be annoying. Sure, a ref is integral to most matches. RL they are both a player and a prop. The facilitate the progress of the spots and the match and add to the drama. Here in RA where the fights are real they provide a safety net for the crowd and the wrestlers. But they should otherwise not be seen, at least ideally. They are not the talent after all. Yet he’s still grabbing the attention. I’m fix’n to toss his skinny butt down a laundry shoot!
Would love to see that Brenda π (you, Vince & the laundry shoot!
Totally agree with the ref’s roles and I’m happy to say that this is the last we’ll see of Vince’s press conference.
Brooke is finally going where I think she should go…so it’ll be interesting to see where you take her.
Still got a lot of Season 2 left. π
These updates can’t come fast enough.
So, between the dialogue and the VI, Al dropped a hint of some immediate troubles coming down the pike. Brooke may be stashed away in the love ne, erm, apartment, but the other three apparently still have to share living space. Krystin and Sun probably managed well enough by a lot of ignoring each other. A third person in there will make that much more difficult.
Now that you’re done talking to that shmuck, Brooke, time to come over to my place. We have chocolate covered raisins.
Are the chocolate raisins prepackaged or did you pick them out of the sheets after Krystin and Topher got finished working out a payment plan for her drugs?
“She’s trying something new.”
“You look good, Michael. Marriage agrees with you.”
Brooke appears to be really growing as a person, and putting her past behind her. I love it.
Will it translate to more diligence in her training, though? Brooke might become a real wrestler soon…
“real wrestler”. I really hate that term.
As opposed to “waste of roster space and liability to the company” that she’s been so far.
I don’t like you.
I shall wipe away a tear. Doesn’t change what she’s done, though. I want her to get better, but that doesn’t prevent me from understanding who and what she’s shown herself to be in the past.
Wait a minute. Brooke is still staying at the love nest?
Maddie allowed the mistress to stay at the apartment after that wedding fiasco? With the leash that Maddie has Michael on, I’m a bit surprised that she didn’t find out about it & shut it down.
