Chapter 02-Page 24-Fur of Flying

Is Sabrina’s foot under the rope? Is Snow’s? What’s the ref talking about?
Ultra dragon was on a serious roll for a minute, Sabrina hitting the Ultrakick last update and the Ultrasplash this one. What’s the hassle, Ref?
WE ARE FUNDED.
Thanks to everyone for your support. With over 2 weeks left, let’s see if we can’t hit some of these Stretch Goals!
If this was a tabletop miniatures game, or a RPG, I’d be checking everyone’s dice.
THAT IS A PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE D6 AND NO YOU CAN’T CHECK
YOUR D6 CAME UP WITH AN UNMODIFIED 7!
Just a quirk of nature. 😉
Alternate joke: Every time someone had been rolling to kick Brenda, I’ve been sleight-of-handing the roll.
Makes sense. Your wrestling ability is an illusion too 😀
Sounds like you’re saying you haven’t been kicked in the head enough!
Sabrina cursing? She has turned heel.
Seriously! What a fucking bitch!
(First time I’ve worked blue here. It’s my one I get under PG-13 rules!)
You get one per book. XD
Yeah when I saw Sabrina cursing up a storm because she couldn’t make a pin I was thinking, “What the French Toast!” is that about.
Panel 2 how awfull: spitting must be forbidden yuck 🙂
That’s not spitting. It’s MISTING. XD
So…I guess the ref got orders from Reni? This is going to turn into a street fight, isn’t it?
No Sabrina isn’t the legal player in the match.
This is a tag team match, at some point the “legal person” rules ALWAYS go out the window, though usually they stay around longer for faces somehow…
All will be revealed…next update. 😀
Of course she’s legal. This isn’t a lucha rules tag match.
Isn’t Brenda the legal Woman? I didn’t see a tag unless it was the scene where she got dropkicked.
Well that was better than my first guest. So I’m illegal if you are right. Snickers.
that’s what I was going with. brina/Brenda got the hot tags so instead of being able to pin the skydiver (seriously- that looked like a shane o’mac titantron height dive there) they now must find a way to get Brenda in the ring and hit another big move given the chance she’ll have to recover by then to get the pin.
also panel 3 proves that cats don’t always land on their feet (hope snowy has a good dental plan)
Rival Angels has a superb dental plan, in line with Hockey.
That landing didn’t look so good. Is there a vet in the building?
Couple of points about that, how strong is Sun’s bad breath that I veered off and missed her? I think I still should have landed on her. Second the use of chemicals against a person is illegal so I’m thinking law suit with the money going to help kids.
Yeah really. F = ma. Figure Snow is 100lbs. She’s dropping from 10 feet. That’s about 975 foot pounds to redirect. We don’t know what the deltaV was but Snow landed well clear so it’s substantial. So what’s the lesson? Well the green mist has a very small mass, so the velocity must be enormous. That would come from the lungs, but she’s a skinny chest, and thus small volume and power. That means the nozzle factor is huge. (Or I guess we say Uge these days.) There’s a lesson here for you guys out there. Be careful around Sun on a date!
That’s some major pucker power!
*takes off my nerd glasses and runs!
There is a vet in the back. His name is Andre.
yeah but this is snowy getting hurt not sun
Sun took that away from him, so to speak. He’s had to set his sights elsewhere.
I suspect Brenda is legal at the moment, and she’s recovering outside. Unfortunate. Toss the roadkilled kitty and get back to work, ladies.
Good job keeping your head on a swivel, Sun, and having countermeasures prepared. You’re a dangerous woman.
Very dangerous, that green stuff is worse than second hand smoke….
You don’t want to see the BLUE mist. O_o
Agreed. I think Brenda is the legal wrestler.
Brenda’s been legal for a good forty…oh, you mean in the match.
Hell I even vote. And since this is Chicago, I vote early. And Often!
Once is not enough for Chi-town. lol
Of course Brenda is legal and she has the papers to prove it.
Now Callie would know about 40. I still like listening to Callie stories when she would baby sit Brenda.
Heh. er, I mean….uh…
*glare*
She stuck the landing?? Don’t understand.
“Sticking the landing” is a well-known gymnastics term. It means that when you make your dismount and you land, you stay planted. If you fail to stick the landing, you lose your balance and stumble a little, taking a little adjustment step in order to not fall. Or, possibly, you fall. It is a key part of routines on the parallel bars, rings… anything, really, and failure is a significant point cost.
It’s also the ONE THING most people know about gymnastics.
Smart money is he knew what it meant, but not it’s application here. A better phrase might have been from the test pilots. Augering in.
I barely know that one, and I come from a pilot family.
Not sure how you can know the expression and not see how it applies. Snowy got planted good, and that’s about it.
Sticking the landing is good. That wasn’t good. I guess you never heard of Chuck Yeager because he’s famous for that.
I’m fairly sure Jeff’s contractually obligated to have each statement be one of a) sarcastic, b) ironic, c) dismissive, or d) antagonistic.
I said I BARELY knew it. I didn’t say I DIDN’T know it. I’m pretty sure fewer people know “auguring in” than “stick the landing,” though.
The other thing most people know is that landing on your face is not correct technique.
He is trying to use a term that doesn’t fit in pro wrestling because most people will wonder what he is talking about. Use the language of the audience….
To channel my inner heel announcer for a moment – I don’t think Jeff is fluent in Grunt and Belch, Snowy. 😉
Heh. Nice.
How exactly does the green ninja mist work, anyway? Does she just carry a little capsule around in her tights or has she had that in her mouth this entire time?
Only a ninja would know!
Ninja. The answer is ‘ninja.’
Well in order to hid it she would need to find a spot on her body to put it until she is ready to use it. I’m sure that the ref would have checked her out since she is known for being in an illegal substance so I doubt she put it in her mouth….
Refs check me out verrrry thoroughly. And often. I don’t get it.
They’re professional like that. 😉
Fast move by Sun’s ninja skills finally puts Snow Kitten down for the count. So why is the Referee foolish enough to say that the pin doesn’t count ? 🙁
I mean this pin deserves to be counted as long as Sabrina can hold her opponent down. So why doesn’t it ? 🙁
Like others have said already it’s probably because Brenda was the legal woman on Team Green Cat. I think she was tagged in about the same time as Sabrina was, which is why she was in the ring to eat and no-sell an Ultrakick in the first place.
Also: That’s one _flat_ cat now. That faceplant looked painful.
I think the term for the landing is Scorpion.
They decided to toss me in the ring because they are not strong enough to get Brenda in the ring.
As for Flat Cat….while it may sound cute it also brings up the big problem, Brenda has a chance to recover…and by the time they turn back to her so will I.
Whos the legal man?
I guess the ref, since all the others are women? 😉
Okay, okay! Put down the implements of painful violence! I swear, I’ll stop making bad jokes! 🙂
Not sure but Sun’s ex is not happy about the pin.
Actually, Andre is loving this pin. He’s hoping Sabrina and Zach continue arguing. XD
Seriously? I guess next they both take 3 Celtic Hammers and make like Timex LoL
Says the person who took an Ultrakick and no-sold it like she was Hulk Hogan? I mean, you actually _smiled_ after taking one of Sabrina’s signature moves to the jaw. If Ultradragon did not get in an offense after that you’d pretty much have destroyed Sabrina’s value as a credible challenger to anyone in Rival Angels. This is more or less the kind of thing that had to happen in order for one side of the match not having all their heat destroyed. Well, that’s the way I see it from the outside looking in anyways.
Now, Snow I will admit has cause to complain about workplace safety, because DAMN, that landing looked brutal! I actually winced when I first saw that panel.
I’m not sure the selling thing is an appropriate criticism. You’re changing the frame of reference to the meta level of the production not the magic of the theater. I’m big and bad and championship-worthy. Etc. That’s theater.
But you do make a good point about UltraDragon needing a comeback of some kind to keep their creds.
I’ve long felt WWE screwed the pooch when they suddenly had people taking 3-4 or more finishers and keep going, when those same things would break far bigger badder-azz wrestlers 20 years earlier.
Exactly! You get where I’m going with this, and the WWE example is perfect, because that exact thing has annoyed the everlovin’ hell out of me for years now. There was a time when Jake the Snake hitting you with a DDT meant it was all over, no questions asked. If that happened nowadays they’d use it to show how awesome their latest “superman” or “monster” is by having them kick out of it repeatedly and go on to kick the Snake’s arse. And it just makes me go AAAAAARGH! If anyone kicked out of a finisher back in those days it was _shocking_! It was something that was played up as inconceivable! Impossible! And only a very few characters would be allowed to do something like that. Someone like Hogan at the top of his 80’s popularity maybe, or the Undertaker.
That said, I would not have expected a single Ultrakick to lay you out for the three-count so early in the match. That would have been bad too, but like I said that spot did mean an Ultradragon comeback and period of domination was necessary for them to be able to keep their heat, no matter what the end result turns out to be.
And now back to my regularly scheduled persona: See, more proof that Brenda and Snow are the heels here. They tricked Ultradragon into covering the wrong person in order to avoid their just comeuppance. 😀
Once again Steiner, your wrong. Brenda & Snowkitten are The Faces (or Betweener leaning towards Face) & The Ultradragons are The Heels (or Betweenrs leaning towards heels). Again, they are within Damage Inc (Heel Stable who cheat) & Sun uses Fire/Mist mouth (Heel tactic). But your a MASSIVE Heel lover, so I can understand your belief since Kevin Owens, The Wyatts, Brock Lesnar, & The Authority would be considered The biggest Babyfaces in the WWE today compared to the heelish & Evil Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Roman Reigns, & Usos. lol
& when it comes to Brenda not selling The Ultra Kick, Brenda is a Main Event Babyface Champion Level Wrestler (Cena, Hogan, Rock, Trish, Madusa) while Sabrina is a raising Main Event Star yet LOW LEVEL non title holding star (“The Miracle” Mike Bennett, EC3, Sasha Banks, Jade). So Brenda will no sell the first, second Brenda would kick out, third final finish.
Also Sabrina did her finisher as THE VERY FIRST MOVE IN THE MATCH, thus Brenda was still at 100% or 90% due to Sun’s counter Pele Kick. Thus it is Sabrina’s fault for not working over Brenda like all good & smart wrestlers to weaken her for her finisher. So blame Sabrina’s stupidity on NOT working Rua over to weaken her instead of Brenda being “The Juggernaut” to her very first move of the match of her Ultra kick.
Brenda no-selling the Ultrakick emphasizes the challenge and threat in front of Ultradragon and that’s its going to take more than ‘Plan A’ to get the job done.
Tick tock…
Hey! Snow’s doing her best airplane impression! Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooow… Ouch, bad landing. Take it from someone who spends a lot of his time in-ring in the air, it’s not how you fly that anyone’s gotta worry about, it’s how you land. Brina’s landing- good. Snow’s landing- not so good.
That was one hell of a high risk dive, but with zero reward. Didn’t look like she was going to hit Sun or Sabrina from that angle. But after the mist attack from Sun the only thing Snow did hit was the ground face first! Guessing Brenda is the legal woman in this fight so best to just toss out snow and go after her, because after that face plant and ultra splash snow’s not getting up after that.
Snowkitten is going to look more like a Persian after landing on her nose like that.
*giggle*
Wonder if the girls had to use a spatula to peel her off the outside pads before dragging her into the ring.
I’ve used a spatula on her a time or two. Oh! Wait, that’s not what you meant is it. *blushes*
