Chapter: Chapter 3 - The Price Of Dreams
Characters: Camille Cote, Dawn Ellison, Jeff Krew, Monica Rumble, Victoria Buckingham, Xtina Carpenter
Location: Angel Dome arena
Back to wrestling action! Camille continues her Wrecking Tour, much to Monica’s misfortune and we have a new TV champ!!
But up next, we have Brooke going after Angel! You might recall that Brooke is trying to even the score with Hell’s Belles for unceremoniously kicking her out. She defeated Jen in a brutal rivalry, now she’s got Angel in front of her. Can Brooke pull it out?

Lol Camille just rolling though jobbers like a debuting Monster Heel should.
Booking 101 straight from the top. XD
Poor Monica can never seem to catch a break. Way to go, Victoria! Can’t wait to hopefully see more of her as champ. For the upcoming matches, I’m going to have to go with Mo Chen and Veronica winning their matches. Krystin might end up coming up short in her match against Rampage. She’s trying to add new weapons to her arsenal, and it’s always tough to get used to them right out the gate. Ultra Dragon would actually have an advantage in their upcoming match against the Towers of Terror. Brina’s wrestled them in a tag team match already and came out the victor… and that was with a partner she didn’t even like. And speaking of her partner in that match… I’m calling an upset of Angela Soprano over Brooke. The Aussie seems to be spreading herself too thin with all these promotions and such
*gives Donny sideeye*
Monica was game throughout that match but the French Canadian was just too much this evening. Jeff’s a fan.
Your picks are noted!
I should warn that the Towers of Terror will be a little more…motivated than usual. O_o
Nice Dyna Mo Chen returns
COME MO Dyna Mo
I’m a big fan of Dyna and Callie. 🙂
Who couldn’t be?
EXACTLY.
Poor Monica! That’s not right!
Victoria takes the title from Xtina! I wonder how this shakes up the locker room politics…
Callie vs Mo Chen… that could get nasty. I’d better get emotionally prepared for this one. Let’s see… where’d I put my popcorn…
Silver vs Perfection? Could be interesting, I suppose.
Krystin vs Rampage?! Oh, this could be satisfying!
UltraDragon needs to just destroy the Towers of Terror. A solid rebound match is essential.
I have some suspicions about Aphrodite vs Angel Soprano. We’ll see. Brooke’s putting in the work and acting like an adult, and I’d love to see that rewarded with success.
Camille definitely made an example out of Monica. More’s the pity!
Some big matches all around. This is a test for Krystin, after trying to right herself emotionally after her self-inflicted ride through the meat grinder.
Ultradragon DOES need a decisive win here, but Luna and Lola are out for blood, LITERALLY. You’ll see what I mean. 😉
Brooke’s got a lot riding on this match with Angel, but then, do to the Belles.
If Brooke focus on her fight, then she could win.
All this and Ultradragon fighting tonight as well. Here’s hoping it will be better than last time.
Brooke has turned a corner with her wrestling career, but Angel has been a steady technical hand for a while. This could be Brooke’s toughest challenge to date.
Nikki (and Travis) have been putting in long hours in trying to get Ultradragon to the peak of their competitiveness. Let’s see how it matches up with the Towers of Terror.
Boo for one-panel “match of the year contender”! (Just kidding!)
Boo for roll-ups finishing good matches! (Seriously!)
Guess we need to pony up for the Rival Angels channel to catch that Match of the Year…
I totally would if I could!
LOL, the irony isn’t lost on me for MOTY, one-panel. Time (not enough of it) and space (not enough time!) restrict the ‘outside’ world to these flashes.
Oh hell
Don’t they tell you about things like that ahead of time?
I know right? Just happy I got my classic boots back from Ashley for this one. I know Callie’s been hungry lately. May have to make her eat one. 🙂
I haven’t been in America so long that your boots look enticing compared to the local cuisine.
…give it another month.
Sometimes great matches come together under quick circumstances ala Brock vs Hunt. 😉
Close enough 😀
Looks like the action is starting again.
Yep! All the way through til the end of the chapter. 🙂
While I’m defiantly ecstatic about Victoria, my girl from across the pond getting the TV Title. I have to wonder how this will affect Xtina and her crusade ageist the Ivory sky-box. Poor Monica cant seem to catch a break, especially not from this Wily Coyote.
Our upstarts have a tough night ahead of them. As Brook continues her feud with her former click, and
Kristin goes up ageist the woman beast rampage, and Ultra Dragon tries to topple the Towers of terror.
Xtina won’t let anything like losing her title affect her positioning, though that depends too on what Victoria has planned. However, Xtina and Victoria are friendly, (at least they were for sure!) so there’s a good chance that they feel similarly about the locker room situation.
I would say that Victoria is at the very least a voice from the not directly involved when it comes to the skybox thing.
As it stands, I dunno. I like Snowy and Brenda the people who post here in the comments threads. The characters based on them in the comic, not so much — in the comic itself they haven’t really been shown in a flattering light much of the time, and their popularity among readers has more to do with the fact that they are avatars of well liked posters here. The fact that said posters often respond as though comments about the comic versions are indeed comments about them kind of muddies the issue too.
In comic, for instance, I tend to side with Xtina regarding the skybox… while a pecking order is to be expected in any group, and champions at least should be able to expect some kind of special status, the skybox itself is a pretty glaring sign on ‘Some wrestlers are more equal than others’. It does I think lead to a disconnect when some wrestlers are given special privileges over others for rather nebulous reasons — it never really has been explained why some people get what can only be called special treatment over others. We know DI and the Belles (at least used to in the later case) get their own private areas. So being part of a stable is one way that at least seems consistent. But other than that? No real explanation has been given as to why the Catgirls get to go to the skybox but other popular wrestlers don’t. It could all be chalked to just saying “It’s Gabrielle, who is known to be inconsistent in her decisions,” but it would be nice to know what the reasoning behind it is.
*Takes off the ‘Overanalyze Without A WSOD Filter Hat*
Brenda and Snowy have been outstanding good sports throughout. I started including them as a nod to them because I have known them for a really long time. The storyline stuff just kind of fell into place and they’ve bee great about it.
As for the skybox, Gabrielle technically hasn’t told anyone that they can’t enter. Krystin was the first to come in, of course being the TV champ, didn’t hurt. That being said, the atmosphere probably isn’t for everyone. There was a scene where Gabrielle, Krystin, Callie, Brenda and the Catgirls indirectly clowned Michael for sticking up for Brooke.
And the thing is, no one is perfect, 100% of time and I really strive that no one person is always right, or always wrong. But I’m digressing. XD
Get her Mei Mei. Brexit her out of the ring, out of the arena for that matter! You got this!
Hokay, THAT is the best line ever. If Mo Chen hits Mouthy Callie with the Lightning Jolt dropkick, that’s what I’m going to call it!
Figure we’d get Euro references from Miss Common Market herself…
I came here for the comments.
I’m not sure, but I suspect I just became a Callie fan.
I think I need some rest…
Here’s yer card! xD
Singing “Rising O’ the Moons”, turning and bending, flashing Callie
*shrugs and kicks*
Anyway, I’m sure it will be an excellent match. Best of luck, Mo. *offers hand*
*gameface*
Save it for afters. We both been talking a lotta’ smack for a long time. We settle in there. Then, offer it again.
so the TV title is turning into the “workers” belt the way it keeps getting passed around so quickly.
predictions for the rest-
mo chen wins
Veronica wins
ultradragon wins by default as the towers of terror show up instead of the towers or terror (unless it’s a handicap match where they can pick either the tower or the terror to face) just teasin ya albone 😉
brooke a mania runs wild but match ends in a double dq when the belles and Amanda breaker both get involved which may or may lot lead to the match restarting as a “tag team match playa!” (teddy long dance)
Ack, thanks for pointing that out, it has been changed and ready to go for the print edition.
You know, Teddy Long was a misunderstood genius with all of his improv matchmaking.
Hmm, good point on the frequent changes tending to devalue a belt. If I’ve said it once I will say it a thousand times — a wrestling title is as important as the company treats it as. Too many changes are one good way to devalue a belt, because among other things it means that a new champion is Not A Big Deal. You want a title change to be A Big Deal. You especially do not want people going ‘Who was the champ again?’ That right there means that to a chunk of the audience that this particular belt is not that important.
It’s not my intent to devalue the belt. I take a lot from the UFC and there was a time where the UFC Light Heavyweight championship was getting passed around like a hot potato. The new champ would sometimes not even make it out with one title defense! And for the most part, people found it exciting because, hey, we might get a new champion.
But to your point and what ended up happening in the LHW division was that a dominant champ came along and reenergized the division.
If the Belles interfere in Brooke’s match with Angel, I have a feeling Brooke will be saved by an unlikely source. 😉
Ooooh, who are you thinking would help out?
