Chapter 14-Page-19-Fallout
Sun’s best kept secret is now her worst kept secret. As a whole, consideration for Sun doesn’t seem to be the main aspect of the fallout at least to her co-workers. And Victoria’s got an interesting question: Just what IS Xtina going to do?
Nezumi Con!
I’ll be a guest this Saturday at NEZUMI CON, located at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Not only will I have books, posters and prints, but I’ll be giving an art demo as well as giving a talk on webcomics. If you’re in the area, come and check it out and make sure you say HI!

Yep it’s about to go downhill for both Sun and Andre. Even if she and Sabrina wins the match, I don’t think no one is going to be happy in the end. Bittersweet victory this fight maybe. 🙁
Welcome to the Can of Worms. The rest of this chapter is going to be rough for certain peeps.
I think Gabrielle is going to fix the whole “he works for me” issue. If she doesn’t, the locker room will force the issue. They don’t seem to be keen on the idea of being examined and treated by a creep.
In fact, this seems like it might have big consequences between talent and management anyway. I don’t think Snowy thought this one all the way through.
Of course, first there are the immediate consequences. How will Sun and Sabrina react? Shock, or fury?
More to come this chapter on the fallout with certain peeps, because yeah, the talent aren’t going to want to be examined by a guy like that. “That was a nasty blow, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it?”
As for Sun and Sabrina, the VI is a good indication!
Ivory skybox?
The name the Have-Nots give the Haves.
There definitely seems to be the whole “These are the ones getting the big push” with the skybox while those who don’t go there regularly could resent that. Gabrielle likely sees it as an incentive: being invited to the skybox means that Gabrielle has taken a liking to you and that you’re going places, so you should be wanting an invite. Of course, the thing about something being exclusive is that a lot of people are left out, and some for no particularly good reason. Sometimes someone can have all the talent and charisma in the world, but if Gabrielle doesn’t take a shine to them, they aren’t going to get pushed. Ol’ Vince is known to be very much like that as well… it sometimes takes him a long time (or never) to realize that the fans are into someone that he isn’t. Similarly, sometimes he’ll decide someone is awesome and will ignore it if the fans stay lukewarm to them.
Basically, while it is an incentive, it’s also totally arbitrary based on how much Gabrielle likes you at that moment.
I see your point. Up to a point. But I’m not sure that’s the dynamics of the comment here….
Well, for someone who’s considered one of the better wrestlers in the roster, like Xtina, but has never been to the skybox (to my knowledge), it might get under their skin. In this case she sees Snowy (a skybox regular) revealing info that I think Xtina believes she only got because she was in the skybox (only partly true, it was in the skybox, but not due to privilege but because Krystin opened her big mouth).
Basically, some people would see being in the skybox as being granted extra benefits those who don’t are denied. Again, not necessarily accurate but when there is a clear line between those who get to watch in the cushy skybox and the roster who has to hang out in the locker room, yeah… somebody is going to get a sense of class warfare.
Like Vince, Dana White (UFC) has been known to taking a shine to fighter. The latest has been Conor McGregor who has gotten several bespoke suits, cigars, and a big push. The story is that he went into a bespoke shop and was given a shopping spree.
Other fighters have not taken kindly to it.
Sara Valentine in nothing but a towel…
I’ll be in my bunk.
Yep! Loretta was probably helping her get dressed.
Oopsie!
Live TV!
I think this is a good opportunity for Sabrina to be a bit of a rulebreaker. Of course the Catgirls know how tight they are, so provoking Sabrina into a DQ would work for them.
But did they anticipate just how bloody an broken they might be at the end of it? I think not.
It’s hard to tell, but it seems that the Catgirls have done their due diligence on scouting Sun and Sabrina. Remember what Krystin’s assessment of them was?
Looks like there might be more than a little frustration in the ranks concerning the “skybox regulars” given Xtina’s reaction.
It’s been building and I think it’s something that is inevitable. What will some like Xtina do now that she’s got a reason to say/do something?
Oh dear, I believe the fecal matter is about to make contact with the air recirculation device in no uncertain terms…
Yeah…messy.
What the hell… did they mic the ring or something? Something tells me that the locker room is suddenly going to be a very cold place for Snow and Rose. There are just some lines you don’t cross. It’s like going through another wrestler’s bag in the locker room. Ya just don’t do it
There’s probably a boom or shotgun mic to pick up impacts and some sounds. Usually workers whisper messages to each other but Snowie was making a statement.
The camera must’ve been close to pick that up! The locker room isn’t too happy. What would Sun’s Mom be thinking if she saw that? O_o
But, of course, there’s a little bit more to this which we’ll get to before the end of the chapter.
However, the Catgirls might not have to worry about the locker room…they have their own!
Yet another reason they’d need to watch out. The gals in that locker room are seeming to get fed up with the gals who get special treatment.
Bingo. I love the Catgirls, I do, but when some wrestlers seem to get special treatment can you really blame others for calling foul?
To contradict my own words, though, there’s one thing to remember… it isn’t the wrestlers who choose who Gabrielle takes a shine to, and we’ve already seen that she has some major control issues. She doesn’t like being told ‘no’, and her attitude can make a 180 if you somehow get on her bad side. So when Gabrielle invites you to the skybox, remember that she tends to make life hell for people who don’t follow her tune. Kind of an offer you can’t refuse, yeah?
Its one thing to dish on a wrestler on a podcast or shoot interview but to blow kayfabe on nationwide TV? Ouch.
This isn’t going to end well since it was recorded live. 🙁
It’s not quite Bray talking about Dean’s Dad, to make sure everyone knows, but that’s sort of what happened anyways.
Snow just made CM PUNKS pipebombs sound like firecrackers 🙂
And how will Sun and Sabrina deal with it? That’s a lot of BOOM to deal with.
I think you mean “dis” honey
The VI is available to me now. It’s quite dramatic!
But the technique would only score points in a karate forms competition. *Holds up a 9.0 sign*
Form is off but the effort is there. XD
we wish Andre well in his future endeavours. even Jeff can’t go heel on that one.
and of course Too Hott makes sure they are on center stage even in the locker room area (nods wisely)
i guess the Ivory box has become “the Authority” as far as the regular locker room is concerned.
also i think we have our first ornage she-hulk sighting with Xtina in panel 4 there “Xtina smash puny ivory box people!” and also another RA first sabrina and xtina agree on something. (well besides Erin that is ;P )
Jeff really wanted to. 😛
Too Hott have mad instinct for where the camera is. I mean, Sara ‘conveniently’ in nothing but a towel?
Expect some interesting things going forward as far as the roster is concerned.
I think Xtina could pull of a She-Hulk! And yeah, I was just thinking about when Xtina and Sabrina would argue over Erin…and would you believe that they’ll be on the same side, and still not get along? XD
xtina/brina on the same side (Team Ina?) would be one of those “anything you can do i can do better” types of teams that usually take place when a heel and face are forced to tag (or when miz and mizdow are having a match lately)
I’m in the box, but no more authority than Cena is part of The Authority.
Both of us are leaders and earned that by hard work and good judgement.
Oh man, that guy is so fired. But then who leaked the juicy gossip? Who’s ass does Sun now need to kick?
The list is short on people who could’ve talked and you can bet that Sun will be very interested in finding out how that info was acquired.
Wow, that was quite a reaction to that pipe bomb. Though more like a dirty bomb. Don’t see why this would be too bad for sun besides the obvious stigma of “she has bad taste in men.” As for the cats, management is not gonna be too happy about dirty laundry being aired on live TV like that. And for Krystin, well looks like she can kiss her sky box key goodby and look forward to a beat down by a pissed off dragon with not a friend to be had.
As for Xtina, looks like she’s about to start a riot!
Don’t expect to Xtina to let this go. She’s about to start her a whole new mission starting in 3…2…
This would probably be a good time for Andre to send his “job interview” suit to the dry cleaners and start punching up the ol’ resume. References from previous employer could be a problem, though.
Good luck at Nezumi Con! Have fun, make huge piles of money, and all that.
Thanks! Nezumi Con was fun and I even got to do an Art Demo on Dynamic Poses! 😀
Ah, Andre…we hardly knew ye.
Management paid us to do that to drum up the drama, women like a good soap opera.
Just admit it, Snow. You’ve actually been a heel all along. It makes sense because, after all, cats are natural heels. 🙂
shes’ wicked. Cats are wicked. Not evil. Not the same as a heel either. Wicked is a good thing. it’s well.. it’s Wicked! xD
