Chapter 3-Page-18-No Good Deed…
Jun29
More moving the ball downfield as we see what’s going on with the BRA division and Sabrina’s fledging modeling career. Black Widow seems to be checking things off her list. And what about Shamrox and Sabrina? Can their friendship survive a Thumbtack match? For those that don’t know, to win a Thumbtack match, one must slam their opponent on to a pile of thumbtacks. O_o
CAMEOS
That would be our very own Golden Girl and Callista in the third panel of the page!
Cosplay!
In case yo don’t know, that would be Danger Girl’s Abby Chase in the first panel. 😀
Voting Incentive!
Here’s a fun little scene. Anyone want to take a stab at figuring out what’s going on? XD
Hold it! Hold it! A thumbtack match?!? This is BRA… not CZW…
Well maybe BRA is CZW light.
I think it is crazy to something like a thumb tack match. Poking holes in ones body with metal objects that could carry something is bad.
Yeap, or poking holes in someone who could carry something bad.
At one of the Las Vegas freak shows, there was a couple of women who wrestle in thumb tacks (enough to cover a 10 X 10 mat) the same way other women would wrestle in oil.
I totally can’t imagine that. They must deaden the skin somehow. I’ve poked myself with a needle or three, stepped on some stickers too. That experience is more that enough.
Oh! Not to mention salted the bird shot…
Atlas handles a lot of Sabrina’s booking so…
Atlas is a perv, but hardcore matches?
I think we’ve seen from readers on our own little site here who delight in seeing pretty girls in agony.
Interesting matchups. Unfortunate that Sabrina gets such a nasty match against a friend. At least she’s looking good.
Somebody needs to do something about Widow. Maybe several somebodies at once?
Golden Girl cameo. Nice.
Cocoa’s still using that silly finisher, I see. At least she’s fun to watch…
What amazes me is she used the same finisher and her opponent hadn’t watched Sabrina’s match to say of here is how you get out of it.
We saw with the Belles that if you crap on enough people long enough, they’re going eventually put their foot down. Widow might be next?
As for poor Mia, all the scouting the world can’t help if you get caught.
You’re building Widow up to be the Big Bad of the season, of course, and Brooke will be that when you get ‘Brina back to America. Just wish we saw more of Coco’s match…she’s hot!
Well every league needs a heel or two. One thing I never understand is why so few fighters and refs don’t have situation awareness.
Then again that is a good thing for me. My last mixed match just over a week ago, I had pulled off one of my gloves and it ended up outside the ring. When I got a chance to go and get it I put on a brass knuckle then put my glove over it. Needless to say the poor guy never knew what hit him.
Cocoa’s not going anywhere so we’ll be seeing more of her. 😉
Snowy, you always have the most interesting matches. 🙂
She had one just this week where the other’s manager threw in the towel. I was all OMG! Makes me wonder if the ol’ alley cat is back…
Last Panel – Yes, ‘Brina. I think Shamrox got the ‘point’ of your quip. No need to hammer it home. :p
And I take it panel #3 is a triple threat, not a hair-braiding session? 🙂
For more on panel 3, feel free to check out “Born to Quinn” in the Creative Works section of the forum! 🙂
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
Born to Quinn: The Triple Threat Match
I have to admit I’m on pins and needles (but not thumbtacks) to see who pulls out the win in the three-way. A very fine telling so far. Look forward to more.
Woo hoo hair time!
Yes people check out the forum, lots of gems hidden there.
alurker, Sabrina’s just making sure. XD
Shamrox, I heard of some weird Irished themed Wrestlers before, but never like that ? 🙁
Also I wonder if Cocco survived the Black Widow’s revenge assault ? 🙁
Yes she will survive the Black Widow attack. Now we just have to wait for her to awaken from her nap.
It looked like it was just the one chair shot, so she’ll probably be fine. I’m surprised Bitsy didn’t do worse, psycho that she is.
Shamrox broke the irish mold. XD
I think Cocoa will be physically okay, but she’s going to be pretty miffed.
Black widow making yet another cheap shot causing a black out… Yet, with all the promoting Sabrina is doing and then there is her matches, I have a feeling that something is going to come to a head… It’s just a head scratchier what that may be.
Would we see Cocoa in RA at some point or is she destined to be a BRA person only? Could RA actually handle a talented wreatler like Cocoa with the sex appeal of Brooke and the snappy comebacks like Sun with the Technical wrestling of Krystin?…
Let the minds ponder and be blown by those thoughts 🙂
Well Kurt that is a lot of mind blowing.
Well now. That sorta sounds like a certain someone already at RA. Only she’s wearing gold and Cocoa – she’s not.
Your comebacks aren’t snappy!
Phht! The Bard could have modeled Kate or Titania after me. Maybe you should have splurged and got a full wit?
Kate or Titania? Try Falstaff or Dogberry.
I’d love to see Cocoa join RA after this arc is done.
Still big plans for Black Widow and Cocoa…of course will that translate over the pacific back to RA…?
so when’s the Cocoa/Black Widow match taking place? as the BW warpath continues- somehow i think steel chairs will be involved. oh and “how can someone so big move so ninja-ly?” must be taking lessons from a few weeks back where Big Show managed to sneak up behind Cena for the KO punch- despite there not being anything for him to hide behind to get there.
i think the pincushion match appears to be a draw based on the VI- or they both caught the measles from the ref or something. oh yes and Lara Croft has gone blond. and here i thought the fishnets comment was leading to a Black Canary photo shoot.
I was thinking Zantana.
So you want Cocoa to take out Black Widow instead of Sabrina?
Zantana was my other guess but Albone said last update there was leather involved. sounded more Canary-y than Zantana.
as for Cocoa/BW if, as someone said, Cocoa is the Apollo Creed to Brina’s Rocky Balboa, then BW is Ivan Drago so she has to send Cocoa to the hospital to show how super dangerous she is before Brina can get in the ring with her. After all if Cocoa beat brina and BW destroyed Cocoa how can Brina possibly survive? <cue training montage on Mt. Fuji>
Brenda is Clubber Lang! 😀
My bad, we’re still a couple of updates away from Sabrina’s big cosplay. You can’t go wrong with Zantanna or Black Canary. O_o The first panel would be the adorable Abby Chase, otherwise known as Danger Girl! (with a wee bit of Cactus Jack thrown in for good measure).
Black Widow could teach Sun a thing or two. 😛
Mt Fuji from GLOW? XD
Than you for the camo Albone.
Last panel.
Look at the Shamrox’s finger.
The dot of light she is pointing to is me, she loves us Catgirls.
Right Albone?
Anytime Snowy! LOL
Travel halfway around the world to match with ‘Brina?
*SQUEEEEEE!*
Totally worth it!
XD
*drums fingers* 😐
Ka-CHING 😀
HI-LARIOUS.
Panel 3:
This is getting somewhere..
Golden Girl Samantha Sinclair in BRA..
could it be she bein fired in RivalAngels..
last time I saw Samantha, is blocking Katherine and Jennifer
Hahahaha!!
So Gabrielle fired those three to invade BRA!!
BTW..
who won?
Sabrina VS Callista VS Samantha? who pin who?
Samantha is too adorable to be fired.
As for the big match between those three…
Born to Quinn: The Triple Threat Match
I wasn’t fired!!
*pout*
I is just in high demand…
You have very high job security. Of course, Angel Soprano may have other feelings on the matter.
I guess..
Sabrina and Shamroxx are still friends
Yep! It was important for me to show that you can fight in the ring, but still be friends afterwards.
Since the last update to the site’s look, the newspost and comment sections have been all grey-on-grey and impossible to read without highlighting. At least, they have on my screen–is this only happening to me?
And….now after I hit refresh just now it’s black on grey. Whaaaat?
You need to clear your cache, close all instances of your browser. Then try again. Worked for a bunch of us.
What the Champ said. 😀
How come no one’s talking about Shamrox vs BW? When world collide!
It’s wicked good to see Callie and Golden Girl. Looks to me like they’re practicing a cheerleader pyramid. Rah Rah RUA!!!!!!
BW already beat Shamrox pretty easily though, didn’t she?
Cheering for Brenda involves pulling hair?
That actually makes a weird sort of sense.
Yeah, Black Widow took Shamrox out but you know the Irish gangster would love a rematch.
Callie’s got some more screen time coming up…I think after next chapter…
More Callie + No Rua = Ratings 😀
You may have a point. Why waste time, effort, and money installing a garbage disposal when you can throw your refuse at a Brit instead? Entertaining and practical!
Bit harsh on Sabrina, there, but it’s good to see you’re coming around!
Laffs with a rim shot too*
Are you suggesting that I called Sabrina a Brit? What kind of heartless monster do you think I am? Even if I don’t like a person, there’s only one kind of person I call a Brit, and that’s a Brit. To do otherwise is just hurtful.
When I saw the last panel, I saw the green top and the dark hair and I thought “OMFG, IS THAT SUN?!” for a second, because it doesn’t look entirely unlike her. Then I read the text, saw that it was Shamrox, and my joy at seeing Sun in the Land Of The Rising Her were dashed. D’oh. 🙁
Sad! I know it’s going to seem like a while, but the Lil Ninja will be appearing soon to help Sabrina sort through some…relationship problems. 😉
Thumbtacks. Nice.
Is it wrong that I’m rooting for real disaster here?
Probably, but if nothing else you’re playing the odds.
Callie’s right on all counts.
BT Alan, can we get a view into Sabrina’s head here? Is this what she thinks a wrestler does–wrestling in thumbtacks (ouch)–or is this just about money and opportunity?
Personally, it seems a little exploitative, and I’m wondering how she’s feeling about getting put in what looks like a really bad spot.
If you think it’s exploitative, then you can see the mind of booker Atlas McNair, who has been leering the whole time at Sabrina’s photoshoots.
If Sabrina weren’t with a friend like Shamrox, this would be much worse because these two can trust each other not to hurt each other. I think it’d be the same if these two had to wrestle in oil…better to that with a friend than someone that’s thinking about more than just the win.
…Brenda, you wanna field this one?
You bet. “Once more into the britches!” 😛
Wait, Shamrox and Sabrina are friends? Did I miss something? I recall her sitting around a couple scenes with Elite…
Calling them friends might be a bit premature. But Shamrox gave Brina the friendliest welcome that we saw.
They are buddies but the BRA roster is small and Atlas books what he likes.
Hehehe, Thumbtacks huh? Seems BRA is going light on the hardcore match. Where’s the electrified barbed wire, hundreds of flourescent light tubes, and time bombs?
Hardcore is a science with many of the wrestlers these days. The reason LuFisto wrestled so many men in death matches at the beginning of her career was because not enough women were schooled in the techniques.
I had this match planned, no lie, since 2008 and mentioned it to Lora Innes when we were at a comic show to her horror! I think it was originally going to be a broken glass match too, but in the interest of time…
Most of the hardcore stuff comes directly from carnival sideshows. Thumb tacks and broken glass are nothing. I’m surprised nobody is pushing skewers through their faces or running strands of barbed wire through their torsos yet.
Thanks for the Danger Girl panel (panel 1). Loved that comic. Every time I see J. Scott Campbell at a show I ask him – why the hell did you have to try to turn this into a video game, and then abandon the property?
However, his line of fans is so long they usually drown me out from across the room….
I miss Danger Girl too. I know there’s that nonsense currently coming out, but that’s not MY Danger Girl.
As for “hardcore” matches, I saw a panel from a Japanese manga starring wrestler Tiger Mask against a Christian foe (uh…apparently Christian) who worked in a barbed wire ring with a nail-spiked Cross in the middle of it. THAT’S hardcore.
Poor Sabrina, she could have come up with a better line than that. Don’t you know the trash talk doesn’t count if you have to explain what you meant. But then again it would be hard to follow up a line like that one.
I understand the fan base for hardcore. And tragically there are companies and wrestlers who traffic in it. It doesn’t really pay more and dramatically cuts a wrestler’s career shorter.
But, I still don’t get why Atlas, trying to promote Sabrina as a some sex pot etc etc. would risk her getting injured…
dammit, now i have “Loco Roco” stuck in my head from those PSP games
