Brooke’s got the blues from paying her Dues, and it can’t be easy trying to become that ‘Pop Icon’ while also trying to be a professional wrestler. She’s got herself an agent, Leo Lin, who’s getting her gigs, but is she going about it the right way? You may remember that she has a match, one-on-one with Cheerleader Serisette coming up.
ANIME CENTRAL
This weekend I’ll be attending Anime Central in Rosemont, IL and I’ll be at Artist Alley E09-E10. If you’re going to be attending, be sure to come by and say HI!

PATREON is a crowdsource funding platform to enable fans and readers to support their favorite artists and creators. This is a great way for you to help support Rival Angels.
Yeah, dues are like that when you’re at the bottom. Never Ending Story. And as soon as you start getting ahead the rules change. Now go win your match. IF you can.
That match will be tough IF she looks past or underestimates Serisette.
“This is the only monster”…
HOLY CRAP, Brooke, that line… let’s just assume that the ad writers are either terrible or evil.
The writers are both. They knew what they were doing. 😉
Yeah something tells me Brooke is catching on to the beauty over brawn when it comes to being a female wrestler in these types of situations. 🙁
She’ll need a miracle to win. Besides I wonder how the boss feels about this? 🙁
I mean she may have the beauty, bust she needs to win to further herself along, right ?
Even she needs a few good solo wins by herself right ?
She DOES need some solo wins to get ahead because she’s hitching her Pop Icon status to her popularity in the ring. Popularity will come in with some success.
Brooke at the supermarket opening reminds me of a story.
Anybody here remembers Soupy Sales, the comedian who had a kids’ show? His trademark was getting hit in the face with a pie. He was a very funny man. Back in the day, he used to open up a lot of supermarkets which was a big deal back then (before supermarkets, all we had was little mom & pop stores and people raised pigeons in their backyards for their meat because there wasn’t enough butcher shops).
So Soupy Sales would be there at the supermarket opening and he would sit at a tiny table and sign autographs for the kids all day long. The lines were sometimes two or three blocks long, and Soupy had an armed guard in case the fans got out of control.
At one supermarket opening, there was this little eight year old who asked Soupy if he could hit him with a coconut pie like on TV? Soupy couldn’t resist the kid’s request and told him to take his best shot. So the kid takes this pie from out a shopping bag, winds up, and throws the pie…
The pie had been store bought and was still frozen. As Soupy lost consciousness, he told the armed guard to gun down the little bastard 😉 (which didn’t happen of course).
And now I want Brooke to be there for a supermarket opening…
Well I mean, let’s face it, its not like she’s the champ or anything. Champions get on Wheaties (and/or Fruity Pebbles) boxes. Midcarders get bikini ribbon-cutting gigs next to the giant inflatable gorilla.
She needs to get her merchandise out front and establish a brand identity. But do you think that would cut into my sales? Can’t have that!
I think the peeps that have money for Brooke merch, have money for Brenda merch.
Brooke is just a little down because she’s feeling the grind, but that’s what it’s all about, amirght?
I can understand her question about always being dressed that way. I think that the extra cash and face time might make up for it.
Question for the guys….what color are her eyes? (No going back and peeking)
Turquoise/blue-green?
…
Dammit!
I knew the answer immediately, but I didn’t want to post the answer and spoil the game.
…
Actually, I know the eye color of all of the Upstarts, and several members of the supporting cast as well. Is that weird?
Yes, weird, if weird means AWESOME. XD
Hey Brooke, you’re the one who wanted to get the extra cash doing all these endorsements. On another note, fire your make-up artist, you look silly with that much eye shadow.
Brooke would gladly trade the cash in for the notoriety. She wants to be hosting SNL, damnit! 😛
Brooke’s eye shadow is in direct proportion to how much ‘Quantico’ she’s been watching on TV.
The supermarket opening, and the burger ad I get. But come on, no one in there right mind snow skies in a bikini!
And yet you see it fairly often.
People watching Brooke’s ad will remember the image of her in a bikini the next time they want to buy skis.
I’m not sure where Brooke’s confusion is coming from. She’s getting spokesmodel work, the details of which are up to the individual employers. The employers willing to employ her as a spokesmodel will obviously be drawn to and want to emphasize her most notable characteristics. She’s gone to a great deal of expense and effort to ensure that her most notable characteristics are those you see best when she’s wearing a bikini. Where’s the mystery?
It’s Brooke. She wants it all and she thought that her notable characteristics would be enough to get her past the grind and into ‘pop culture.’ Oh, our little Brooke.
The sad thing is that she’s young and foolish enough to believe that “pop culture” is a place you want to be, and that it will ever forget what she does to get there.
Not going to bitch. Some of us a little bit earlier on the card would be happy to pick up an extra check now and then.
Brooke says damn the money! She came here for the fame and attention. XD
Strange as it may seem, Brooke just might have the best game plan of all the Upstarts. Instead of focusing all her efforts on a championship she can’t win, she’s laying the groundwork for a post-wrestling career that could make her money. Don’t know how good an actress she is, but she might land some movie roles just due to her looks. Well, whatever.
Good point.
