Page 69 – The Upstarts!
And the end of Chapter 5! This chapter started off on page 35 with a bang and has taken us all the way to this point, not without some twists and turns.
THE UPSTARTS! Â I’ll still refer to the foursome as the ‘rookie girls’ from time to time, but it looks like the name UPSTARTS is going to stick, and we have Loretta to thank for crowning them with that name.
So, some of you guessed that Sun wouldn’t ask for anything, and you’re right. It still remains to be seen what’s in store for her, but allow me to dish a bit here, expect her to be matched up on the next card.
We already know that Sabrina is fighting Loretta on the next card and the winner gets into the tournament for the Television Championship! Brooke and Krystin seem a little concerned with their tag team match up against the Catgirls. Its probably the smart money that they don’t take the veteran tag team for granted.
So what will Chapter 6 bring? A small break from the ring, but don’t think for a second that there won’t be any drama, fights or other ill repute. Don’t ya dare miss it!! 😀
End of Chapter 5… The best chapter I’ve read so far here in Rival Angels.. Oh!! Sun… good thing, Commissioner Gabrielle didn’t gave a match to her. like Chloe De Sade VS Sun.. the good thing that Sun didn’t have a match, is that she could help, and be in Sabrina’s corner.. when Sabrina VS Loretta.
maybe Sun can be Sabrina’s guardian angel.. 😀
No matches means that, your not getting a paid, I think.. since they have already signed contract in Rival Angels. So I think Sun better sit this one out.
Or maybe a last mean match on Sun.. Sun VS a Jobber… Surely sun will win.. even though it won’t show. I hope it will show, even just a 1 panel when a Atomic Elbow by SUn. Atomic Elbow on the jobber.
Krystin, is like Brooke’s boss. another arguement there between Brooke and Krystin, not good..not good..their plan didn’t work at first, I sure this one won’t work either. The problem of Krystin is like she want to boss around, and won’t give credit to others. like she really want to be the hero of the day. and I kinda she in her that she don’t respect Brooke.
The problem of Brooke is that, she strong but no brain, she’s not independent enough to go on her own. and let Krystin own her.
Damn! Looking at Sabrina she still weak and felt the pain of that chairshot.
Can’t wait till monday.. Chapter 6..
Help me figure out on panel 3.. Is Sabrina point at Sun? or she getting out of the ring? if she’s point towards to Sun. That mean kinda thanking her, and giving her share of appriciation towards to SUn.. That’s good on Sabrina’s part.. if Sun maintain that attitude, the friendship within Sun and Sabrina will be great..
Sun calling Commissioner Gabrielle, bosslady… 😀 Hahhaha.. funny..
I noticed Krystin is a girl who real wants applause, like if you don’t cheer her. I think she’ll get the microphone and said this city full of blah blah blah… The audience will booo her..
(If blah, blah with some funny stuff maybe, I’ll cheer for her)
Just like Santino Marella. I really don’t like him wrestle, but it’s very intertaing seeing him making fun in the ring. his accent is very funny.. calling out, people and insulting it. calling out Roddy the piper. hahaha. 😀
remembering back in WWE came to our country.. Carlito said your country isn’t Cool, in very insulting but very funny way.. we all booo Carlito, but ame time laugh on it..
there are four kinds of boooing, I think..one you booo’ed, you booo because of the character being a heel, but it will added some laughter if we seen the character, made some fanny talks..
another booo, is when the character really pissed off the audience. like very disrespectful towards a bunch of audience..
another booo, when if you really don’t see entertaining or what you see did great in her performance. just like in Rival Angels, Krystin.. on the fatal four way, I didn’t see her made a great offensive move. Sun and Brooke did more greater offense than Krystin.
the last type of booo, is the people’s choice of booo.. I boooo’ed Sabrina, when though she’s good, had great offense. but I still booo her. (This is only my opinion)
MGC, I’m glad that you liked this chapter, it was great fun to do and helped set up the girls for the future. We’re going to get into the dynamic between Krystin and Brooke and see where that goes but they really don’t seem to be in harmony, so to speak. Actually, all of the girls will be interacting with each other to various degrees so, we’ll get some more insight into their personalities. As for Krystin acknowledging the crowd, if you think about it, everyone lost except Sabrina but they’re all bathing in the spotlight, so they all have a certain love for attention, especially if you’re a pro wrestler. 😉
Love the comments on boooing. In my home town, we’re notorious for cheering the bad guys, even if they call us ‘out of shape sweathogs’ we still cheer them on and applaud. lol
Don’t worry about Sun being on the card, she most definitely will be, against a new wrestler and it won’t be the first match. 😉 In panel 3, Sabrina is pointing at Sun, like she’s focusing the attention on her.
Try the 37 second mark of this video here:

I remember it, back on WCW. The outsiders doing that.
Now I get it.. Sabrina doing.. that’s a great gesture to.. gaving some of the attention to Sun. it’s kinda the cheering to Sabrina is diverting to Sun. Very Thoughtful of Sabrina too. She wouldn’t use it’s victory and get the applause for herself, instead giving some credits to her friend Sun.
here a question, why only to Sun? even though Sabrina shaked Krystin and Brooke. Sabrina sensed that, she can only trust Sun? or Krystin and Brooke kinda don’t like to hang on Sabrina.
Sun will be against a new wrestler.. hmmm.. Interesting, but the same time..worried for Sun. what if that new wrestler is 250 pounds. like the size of Umaga.. 🙁 Sun will expirience another loss, or surely be injuried..ehhehe..
Why is Sabrina doing the double pointing thing to Sun? Krystin and Brooke are on the other side of the ring, while it seems that Sun and Sabrina are hanging out. I don’t think its any news that Sabrina and Sun have developed a friendship.
As the time draws nearer, I’ll be posting new wresters in the voting incentive and let you know who Sun will be fighting. A bigger girl will debut but she won’t be fighting Sun….yet. 😉
When did scott hall return?lol I’m loving the mistery of what is instore for sun.You know i’m one of rival’s biggest fan. ( not like crazy mandy from icarly lol)
Prince Charming, sadly Scott Hall disappeared as quickly as he appeared. More’s the pity!!! (Scott Hall is the awesome). More Sun intrigue is on the way for the biggest and smallest of fans. 🙂 (LOL @ icarly-Mandy)
I love Brooke’s reaction. Upstarts is a good stable name. (i like kastle better… :)) I don’t think enough rookies group together in wrestling… always trying to glom onto a veteran. the hardys and edge & christian so should’ve stabled. apparently they had thought about it and matt had developed a hand signal and everything.
i guess we’re going into some story now as we build tensions to the upcoming matches. just a note: shower scenes are AWESOME!!!
Jamie, I’m glad you like the name Upstarts in place of Kastle. 😀 You’re right about rookies hooking up with veterans. I think on TV, we don’t get to learn about the wrestlers off camera, so I think that’s why it works in webcomics. I would have loved to see a Hardy/Christian/Edge stable, but we did get some really great matches/feuds out of them.
I did the shower scene on page 6 and there isn’t another one planned for one time, but I think I may have a suitable replacement. One word: POOL.
nifty!
any plans to collect the story thus far in print? I think the end of the fatal 4 way would round out a GN nicely. or, split into 2 GN’s… 30 pages each-ish… include in each one the incentives in the back. hell, i’ll draw some covers for you!
Later this month, or very early next month I’ll be offering pre-orders for the print version of Rival Angels, collecting the first 34 pages. You read my mind!! lol There’ll be a couple other pages on the girls in there. I’ll also be including a sketch of your favorite Rival Angel as well, but more on that in a few weeks.
And thanks for the offer on the cover help, I appreciate it!
