Page 178 – Match Two
Feb16
We move away for a bit, from the Upstarts and turn our focus on other aspects of Rival Angels. That being said, whenever we turn away from the main players (Sabrina, Krystin, Sun and Brooke) you can be sure that its still something that ties in with one or more of the Upstart girls.
The second match of round one of the Television Tournament! As you can see from this update, Josephine York is off to a great start against the British Bombshell, Victoria Buckingham. It doesn’t hurt that her twin sister, Franchesca, is at ringside.
So who’s your pick to win this match, Victoria or Josephine?
Hmm if the Yorks aren’t shy of cheating, I say Josephine wins, but at first it looks Victoria would be getting the upperhand and then the Yorks pull the old twin switch on her.
“Bombshell” Victoria Buckingham VS Josephine York..
ohhhh!! no entrance… sob sob.. :(Â
I’ll go for “Bombshell” Victoria Buckingham.. eventhough I’m not her fan. at first I’m going to favor the York Sisters, until THOSE MISERABLE UNGRATEFUL TWIN COWS diss “White Queen” Chloe De Sade..
Victoria Buckingham.. 5″11 height.. weight 10 stone= 140lbs.. Josephine York.. 6″0 height.. 140lbs.. this is very even match..
Panel 1: looking at their upper body… Victoria Buckingham has bigger body than Josephine York.. Â
Â
Panel 2: ah? why is Francesca York there.. I thought she was knockout.. 171.. look at Francesca outcold.. then now she’s there..
Â
Panel 3: Agressive move there by Josephine York..
Â
Panel 4: I totally disagree on Francesca York there..
Â
Panel 5: ah? Josephine’s body and hips, legs are bigger.. or should I say fatter than Francesca York.. I compare this episode of Josephine and in episode 166 of Francesca. does this mean that Francesca is lighter than Josephine?
I’m rooting on “Bombshell” Victoria Buckingham to win.. but I have a funny feeling.. that The Hell’s Belles and Damage Inc will cause a wreck in this match in result this match of Victoria Buckingham VS Josephine York will be declare a no contest.. in which Katherine Smith will advance to the finals..
Catgirls VS York Sisters.. that match own and played… by the Catgirls.. they just made the York Sisters as the Yarn Sisters..
Â
Twin ?? I won’t be surprised then if they pulled that switcherro tactics like The Bashams, The Gymini, or The Bella Twins usually did.
The Killer Bees perfected that in the ’80s.
Go Yorks! I doubt HB will interfere. they can’t risk getting hurt before the Ultragirl match.
And Franny wasn’t knocked out after the battle royal. just really tired.. maybe disappointed, too. you try getting up right away after being tossed out of a wrestling ring after a tough fight.
We haven’t seen either of these girls in a match before, but I am surprised someone good enough to get into the TV tourney would get such a 1- 2- 3 pummeling as Victoria is… and right from the bell at that.
Panel one: just a straightforward introduction. The background is the champion belt, right? It would be a cute touch having it play promo video on the TV screen shape in the center. The chipped typeface makes me think the image is shaking a little on viewer’s TV sets.
Panel two: I see Jeff emphasizes “Katherine Smith…”. We know he is a Belles fan, that’s his way of showing it. Good perspective on the ring, it looks a lot less crowded with only two contestants! The fans are not clearly seen but I can tell a lot of work went into those silhouettes… they imply motion, a neat thing to do in a 2-D comic.
Panel three: Josephine’s sound effects are red with a gold border. Action Hair remains true, Josephine’s is flowing with her momement while Victoria’s is tousled from impact. Nice color/ shading / layering on Victoria’s hair, it is the focal point in the panel. Â Action Hair is the reason I don’t think there will ever be a bald wrestler on Rival Angels. So far Lover Lola is the one wrestler with a full head mask, she is limited to moves that don’t use Action Hair emphasis.
Panel four: Josephine has passed behind Victoria and grabbed Victoria’s left arm. Readers are supposed to notice Victoria is in pain and Franchesca is being supportive. I think observant readers are supposed to notice the York sisters have different color nail polish on ( Jo, red in panel one, Fran, teal here ). This will be a major point if these girls pull a sister switch like Chief Boka and Ps2kid are speculating.
Panel five: The taller girls are larger and thus stronger; they have an additional threat in their longer legs as we see Victoria on the receiving end. I have to wonder what Sun would do against an a opponent that much taller than herself… Ninja Time, I suppose. Oh, and Jeff is picking up on Fran’s “stupid limey” remark. I haven’t gone through the archive but I don’t recall him being that cruel before… insulting, yes, wrong, oh yes, but cruel??
Good thing this is President’s Day, I usually don’t have an hour to compose my comments. What I usually do is read the comic while getting ready for work and think about it during breaks that day.
I wonder if Francesca and Josephine fought each in the ring as rivals.. Matt and Jeff Hardy fought coz of jealousy..
Â
and the crowd seems silent.. no one cheer for the “Bombshell” Victoria Buckingham.. is that means Victoria Buckingham is not famous in rival angels? Â
I hope next time we can see entrance..
Â
Josephine went on to the TV Tournament.. while Francesca on the “Bonus Life Battle Royal” is that mean that Josephine is the better wrestler than Francsca.. and I wonder what is Francesca York finishing move? is it the same “brainbuster” ?
M.G.C: My guess is that the crowd is stunned into silence – that was a rather quick assult on Buckingham – but I think that she will battle back. The Brits never go down without a fight.
I’m guessing that Buckingham will win, but that’s a just a WAG.
Mmm, girl fight – very nice 😀
Chief Booka, the York sisters used to be part of Damage Inc, a well known heel stable and known for cheating, so its a safe bet that their old tricks die hard. Â Will they cheat though? Â That’s the question. 😉
I’m a fan of Victoria Buckingham just as much as I am a fan of William Regal, Katie Lea and Paul Birchill: ‘cos they’re Brits and Brits need to stick together! One eye’ed and I love it! You know William Regal’s awesome when everyone’s egging him on against Randy Orton when they faced off last year at the 02 in London X-D
Anyway, I think maybe Victoria will sneak it or at least show off her skills but the York sisters seem more integral to the storyline 🙁
