Chapter 05-Page 14-Girl Interrupted
Girl interrupted, amiright? Also, three is a crowd, but that’s never stopped Ian before. You may recall that Ian had a mighty big crush on Sabrina, but he also seemed to move on. Love is so complicated, eh?

Ian… built like David… dumber than Goliath.
Ian is the hero of every story he ever tells, including this one.
*massages her temples*
So, let’s see if we can piece these events together. MWA/BRA books a show in Chicago. Four front row tickets were obtained by wrestlers from the local promotion.
While it’s not ideal, (ideal is the locker room emptying and shoving them into a shipping crate bound for Montevideo,) I can SORT OF see reasons not to do that. They might see themselves as visitors, and thus bound to keep their noses clean. Atlas might see promotional opportunity in having the local rivals pay for seats at his show. Takashi obviously has SOME kind of working relationship with Gabrielle, as evidenced by the loan of Mancini, maybe that’s valuable enough for him to tread lightly.
Still, it pisses off your talent, as Shamrox and spray-tan twin #1 demonstrated. Cocoa gets sent out with security, which doesn’t exactly make her look strong, but does allow her to give Sabrina a slap, which is more than anyone else did.
After the match though, Cocoa bottles it, gets caught, and there’s your champ laid out with an Ultrakick. Out comes…Yoshi, who does at least manage to occupy her attention until spray-tan twin #2 comes out and… saves (or rather, “saves”,) Sabrina, at which point the Upstarts rabbit.
What a clusterf*** of a promotion MWA/BRA must be
I don’t know that anyone really looks good after this. Ian feels good about himself though.
Atlas has never afforded much in the way of resources to BRA, if Kaci’s past complaints are accurate but this is something that might make him notice the Lady talent on the roster more.
I love your analysis of the situation. 😀
If this ain’t the best way to promo a must-see TV crossover brawl, I don’t know what is!
I think Atlas may be thinking the same thing. Gabrielle, not so much.
And if Ian is such a gent, why wasn’t he there to defend Sabby when she was getting slapped, or when Cocoa tried to attack her a 2nd time? For that matter, why wasn’t Yoshi??
Meh, they’re both really out there for Sabrina, but not necessarily to ‘save’ her. I mean, Yoshi had every intention of being mean to Sabrina, but that didn’t really last long.
Pure craziness, and luckily the Upstarts are getting out of dodge before they cause anymore problems than they already have. I am really excited to see the fallout from this. It should be a lot of fun!
I’m hoping that the fallout is indeed fun. 😀
And a good time was had by all…
Cocoa would dispute this, even with the dirty victory.
His beard disappeared in the first panel, but Ian whacking him seems to have made it pop back out.
I found it! I swear, I have a habit for forgetting his soul patch. 😛
Ah love truly is a strange thing. It’s lucky for Sabrina that the girls decide to bail out while they still have the chance too.
Lets hope their actions will not cause them too much trouble.
There will definitely be repercussions, consequences and future obstacles from their actions. We’ll see if they are up to handling them.
maybe it’s just me but I had an immediate flashback to the miz/maryse cena/nikki skits they did. panel 1 the music starts playing and building up to the expected loving moment then…. panel 2 and record scratch effect.
also cocoa seems to have recovered from her predicament somewhat judging by her “i came here for this?” expression.
Yeah, Cocoa is not pleased. Loved or hated, she expected to be the center of attention.
Those Miz/Maryse skits were HILARIOUS.
“I. john cena. am reading this cue card. to express the love. that I feel. for you. nikki bella.”
“oh jaaaaaahn!”
Looked like Sabrina had one last Ultrakick in her for Ian… but she got pulled away too soon.
She was definitely thinking about it! Silly Ian and his romantic notions.
Well this took a strange situation and ended it awkwardly. Not Shore if Ian hitting Yoshi with the steel chair was always a part of the script, or if he just did it so Sabrina could get out of there.
Still everyone got what they wanted. Yoshi got to meet Sabrina again, Ian got to play savior for Sabrina, the upstart girls got to wrasil some decent looking security guards, and Sabrina got some sweet, sweet, SWEET! payback on Cocoa. As for Cocoa, well I think it’s clear to see she got more than what she deserved.
When you put it that way, there was something for everyone. 🙂 I like that.
This is interesting!
And the look on Sabria’s face when Ian hugs her!
