Chapter 02-Page 8-Camille Cote
Professor Shannon McCourt shows up in the Voting Incentive!
You’ve heard about her, now you get to see Camille Cote in the ring. Silver medalist in wrestling during the Olympics, she gets her first match against Kim Hart, and thanks to Mayyday for lending Kim to me for Camille’s debut.
Mayyday was also kind enough to send this bit of bio information on Kim. Enjoy!

Calf Slicer
Camille’s finisher here is also called a Calf Lock and Calf Crusher. Here’s a video of these two gals from MMA CANDY demonstrating this wicked move:

TopWebcomics, OR, the Rival Angels Facebook Page. Whichever one you use, don’t use, use both, neither, it’s all good. Professor Shannon McCourt shows up in the Voting Incentive!
Camille Cote is officially my new favorite wrestler.
Between the two is there any choice?
Grrr Ashley! GRRRR, I say.
You’re just mad that she and I could both take you.
Bring it on, honey!
Happy to, Brenda. >:)
I think Camille is getting a following. So, a good debut!
Kim looks like S1 Brooke.
It’s a good look. Classic even, plus with her last name being HART and all.
JESUS. I think Kim may have broken her own “record” there. o_O
Nah, I’d say it took much longer than 6 seconds. At least 18. 😉
Lots of MMA / BJJ techniques turning up in Rival Angels these days! Slicers are no fun. Plus they tend to be illegal below like brown belt in BJJ! Guess they’re legal in wrestling though! 😀
Neck cranks are similar. And Yipe!
There’s more awareness for these kind of holds and maneuvers and their effectiveness, so it was just a matter of time before these would trickle down. Legal until they’re not!
Awesome.
I have to go do some new modeling ASAP! 🙂
With humility, I’m glad that it was inspiring. 🙂
I love that Kim’s 6second loss was considered a ‘highlight’. ;p
You get the sense that the poor stats guy was really reaching for ANYTHING that might count as a “highlight” on that one. 😛
The Stat Guy clearly had his work cut out for him, but there’s hope that she get to replace that with something better, optimistically speaking.
Poor Kim. Quite the squash match here. Just goes to show – if you want to raid another wrestler’s wardrobe to borrow their luck on your debut night? DON’T CHOOSE BROOKE’S.
More seriously, Camille looks like quite the monster here. Love the look on her face – makes me feel like this sort of domination is effortless for her, like she’s playing. Like she gets her kicks from hurting people, a la Randy Orton at his best. She’s going to be a very dramatic addition to the Rival Angels roster. While I’m still going to be rooting for my old favorites to emerge victorious over her, in a broader sense, I’m a fan.
Hmmmm. Kim and Brooke could make quite the team and in more ways than one.
Wait til Camille starts getting more vocal. 😉 And yay! I have a few heels that I love to boo for. Edge and Angle come to mind. XD
Nice. Kim and Camille get a whole page and a nice splash at that.
Glad you liked! Trying new stuff with composition and layouts.
That was a fast beat down and win foe Camille. It’s like Kim didn’t know what hit her. 🙁
Kim’s still wondering what’s going. She’s got aches and pain everywhere.
Don’t blink or you might have missed the match. A strong showing for Camille. Could have done without the foot to the face at the end.
Her putting a foot on Kim’s face is her way of making sure you’re paying attention. 😉
First off, call out now. Who voted?
AL, how about putting the vote tag and text right under the main blurb?
Now for the strip. As mentioned Kim, taking Aphroditie’s look? A shame your um… heart just doesn’t measure up to hers. Lack of heart is probably why you tapped in six seconds.
That Camille though. I was one of the naysayers. Olympics are fine, but they are all amateurs. Plus you never know what happens when someone gets punched in the face. Then again, she hasn’t been yet. Guess we have to see what she can do against someone who isn’t intimidated by her, someone with heart.
Vote early; vote often!
Not too sure about your point about Olympic wrestlers. To get there you have to work your way up and that means training as hard as the pro fighters do. You just don’t get paid directly. There can be other kinds of support though.
I do agree with your point about getting punched in the face. That’s a game changer. But then… dare I say it… closed fists are illegal in pro wrestling! *Gasps!
If they could make the pros, they wouldn’t be amateurs. A little bit of ribbon and a medal around the neck is nice, but a big fat belt around the waist and a bigger fatter win bonus is better. Now we just have to see if Camille is ready to graduate from the amateur league to the big league. Have to admit, she made a good start.
By the way, as the new rookies, do she and Hart have to room together? When are Sabrina and all going to merit their own place? What’s up with this nickle and diming our girls on their board budget.
Thanks for the call to vote!!
Camille knows that she’s easing into the water, but it won’t be a steep climb to her title shot.
There’s a dozen ways to get a calf crush. I look forward to showing them to her. 😀
Looks like the double toe hold is out the window now hehee
Very nicely done page, boss!
Thank you kindly. 🙂 I’m sure many fans and readers are waiting for the inevitable Rua vs Cote explosion.
I like the effect of Camille standing outside the panels. 🙂
that’s why she will get the title shot before Brenda- da ex-champ could only break through 1 panel, Camille takes out the entire update.
That’s frickin hilarious. LOL
Me too :D!
Glad you guys liked! I knew I wanted to do something along a splash page since it’s a big deal, this update, but I needed to be economic as well. So glad it paid off.
I’m stealin’ the idea, you know 😛
With my compliments. XD
Kim Hart (not apparently from the legendary hart family based on this effort) needs to join team brooke now- Team Cleavage window! I like her expression in panel 3 “how the heck did I get myself into this again?”
also I (don’t really) think albone has it in for French speakers- first chloe now Camille as the main villains for the season
For the record, there is no relation to Stu Hart et al. She HAS tried to do a sharpshooter before, but her technical skill is still not quite there yet.
So would Kat be a part of Team Cleavage Window? That would be quite the display.
When I was creating Camille, I was like hmmm….is that too close but to hear French Canadians tell it, they are quite different than their French counterparts and I plan on ‘exploring’ that sentiment with Camille, if you get my drift. 😉
The French has a different accent to me.
Tough lady: I love Camille 😀 😀 :D.
I’m glad you found her. Camile isn’t surprised with your response but not unhappy either. XD
I guess this answers the question of if Camille will get a title shot right away or work her way up if she is working up the low end of the card atm.
Her deal is similar to Holly Holm’s in the UFC. She could’ve gotten a title shot right off the bat with Ronda but opted to take a few fights first before that. Camille is in the driver’s seat with the title shot, which is why Gabrielle can’t really plan past Yvonne vs. Shannon for the belt.
Damn. I think that was the textbook definition of a squash
Poor lil’ Kim, but a high-profile squash is still better promotion than getting buried at the bathroom break.
Pay is definitely better.
I don’t like squash on my plate, but occasionally it still shows up. But yeah, Kim totally got squashed. 😛
is it just me or does her outfit look incredibly similiar to Aphrodite’s?
I already said that in my comment above.
To be fair, a lot of jobbers/rookies tend to have pretty interchangeable gear early in their respective careers.
Likely anything from the Aussie that shrunk in the wash, though the backside might still sag.
snickers
Not just you! Readers have discerned a similarity. *nods*
Good debut. We’re waiting to see how she does against Sabrina.
Should be an interesting match if it happens, both sabrina and brenda have beaten widow, and she’s no slouch either. I doubt camille is that much stronger than widow, so it would be a great match to watch.
So Ronda Rousey post-Holly Holm + Eric Young. Would be a nice challenge for Krystin.
