Page 77 – Escalation
Wow, that got out of hand FAST. I know there’s some of you that probably think that Krystin should’ve hauled off on Sabrina. It would’ve been easy, Sabrina’s guard was down as she was apologizing. Krystin is the only Upstart girl to not react physically, plus by her last comment, she knows that Brooke is the shit starter here. Â Now you might say, Sun hasn’t reacted physically yet, and that’s true, but there’s one more update to this bar scene before we move on. Â Look for Sabrina’s consequences down the road, before the next fight card.
Lots of stuff on this page. Sun is in Brooke’s face ready quick to defend Sabrina but was a little TOO quick to avoid Brooke’s salvo. Or maybe Sabrina was too slow? Yeah, Sabrina lost it but do you think Sabrina reacted that way because of the drink in her face or the insult to Sun?  Brooke is just mean with her insults, eh? And honestly, what kind of move is throwing your drink in someone’s face anyways? Â
Of course, we lost track of Sun and Brooke.
This is getting better and better… I guess those two girls who shouted “gun” is out of the scene.
First they’re friends singing “lady marmalade” now their fighting. Oh! boy.. there goes the neighborhood
Sun said “Sabrina is our friend, don’t go taking show some asshole’s side show some loyalty”
comment on Sun
actually, Brooke didn’t show sides, she’s just telling Sabrina’s mistake and which can damage their carrier and status as wrestler.
which Brooke’s judgement is fair, not taking sides.
Panel 6: Krystin said “Brooke, you hit like a girl” is this bugged? or should I say error, should Krystin be saying, “Sabrina, you hit like girl” ?
Reality check Krystin. Sabrina is a girl, and don’t you dare hit Sabrina.
Comment on Sabrina again.. again..
Panel 5: Sabrina looked shock, no problem.. Sabrina saying “God, Krystin, I am so sorry”
Comment on Sabrina saying it. she just said Sorry to Krystin, how about saying sorry to the girl you hit earlier. is it because Sabrina fears Krystin? is because Krystin gave Sabrina a divabreaker, and in her mind Krytin is stronger than her.
Panel 6: Look at Sabrina, scared as Hell.. as if she’s backout on a fight.
I just Krystin is the one to put the fire out. I mean to calm the situation down. if that happen, good.
So I guess, Sabrina won’t be suspended. since it didn’t really riot in the bar. 🙁
I felt drama tention on Brooke too. is like everybody hates Brooke, Hell’s Belle, Sabrina, Sun and also Krystin. if it’s escalate even more hate on Brooke, I think Brooke can destroy everybody in the Rival Angels.
Sun is in Brooke’s face ready quick to defend Sabrina but was a little TOO quick to avoid Brooke’s salvo. Or maybe Sabrina was too slow?
I would it’s was unexpecting. Sabrina can’t see the situation in front of her, since Sun got in Brooke’s face. Sun noticed Brooke’s reaction, and possible of a counter attack. as we know Sun is good in cheap shots too. so Sun expected it.
Sabrina lost it but do you think Sabrina reacted that way because of the drink in her face or the insult to Sun?
-I think Sabrina just reacted, accidentally
Brooke is just mean with her insults, eh?
No, Sun.. Bugged in to the situation, it’s Sun’s fault.. But I’m still a Sun fan.

MGC…. heh, well I wouldn’t say those two girls are out of the scene just yet. 😉
Brooke’s much less worried about Sabrina’s carrier than you might imagine. A. Mouse was on the right path when she suggested that Brooke made her comments more out of attention, namely the attention that Sabrina was getting and trying to look leaderly at Sabrina’s expense..
Sun’s point is that they’re together, right or wrong you should back each other up. That’s Sun’s prerogative and I don’t know that you’ll convince her otherwise.
Actually, Krystin says ‘Brooke, you throw like a girl, commenting on the toss of the drink and taking issue that it was a weak move in the first place.
In panel 5, Sabrina is genuinely apologetic that she struck Krystin and lost her cool in the first place. Sabrina’s remorseful, not fearful. And Krystin respects Sabrina enough not to punch her back.
I don’t know that HATE is the right word, annoying might be. Most of the girls think Brooke’s a bitch and I don’t know if that’s a stretch of the imagination either. More to come there.
It just occurred to me…
Punching with a closed fist is illegal in professional wrestling! For someone as devoted to fighting cleanly as Sabrina, she’s awfully quick with throwing her fists about, here.
Based on her years of training, her instinctive reaction to the punk chick’s attack should have been either a submission hold, or something along the lines of a clothesline.
Against Brooke tha distance seems to be perfect for some kind of kick, but perhaps Sabrina’s shoes are not appropriate for such a maneuver…
All chicks, without exception, hate each other. Brooke needs to flex some brain power. It’s quite obvious the other 3 aren’t going to respect or fear her in anyway…
And getting a drink thrown in your face sucks. nothing makes you feel lower. even lower than a slap to the face. not quite like getting spit on, but dammit… so disrespectful. it’s embarassing, cold, and it makes you wet… i hate being wet. if that drink had an umbrella in it, or one’a them cocktail swords, you’re talking some serious damage.
brooke, like everyone, is entitled to their opinion. And her reaction for being called a hag… damn, i’m surprised it was just a drink she threw at sun. that’s restraint.
JackAce, its true that a closed fist in pro wrestling is against the rules, but there aren’t any (or hardly any) rules in a bar fight. The thing about going for a submission move is sound, but more of Krystn’s forté being the ‘Definition of Technician. But, except for Sun, none of the girls are in optimal fighting/grappling gear. You were hoping for Sabrina to hit Brooke with the Ultrakick weren’t you?!! LOL, that might’ve been a tad excessive. 😛
Jamie, Brooke’s got a mindset that won’t be changed by you, me or her roommates, for better or worse. And Brooke’s a smart cookie. Notice how she hasn’t thrown any punches or kicks? The drink throwing was more disrespectful than any sort of punch or kick, in her opinion even in light of Sun calling her a Hag. And now then….where did Sun and Brooke go off to…?
they went to see the midnight screening of Sisterhood of the travelling pants 2.
Lmao, nice page.I don’t think their si anything else to say…Oh wait…You rock!
I know the rules of the ring don’t really apply here, but Sabrina has been training for years to fight according to those rules.
When the fighting starts, her “warrior instinct” should tell her to do anything *except* punching with her fists.
Jamie… and an early screening of ‘Mama Mia.’ 😛
Thanks Prince Charming, you rock!!
JackAce, I think we may have different takes on Warrior Instinct. Sabrina does fight cleanly but she’s not above the occasional punch, or hair pull in the ring. If that doesn’t make her a clean wrestler in your eyes than I need to either lower or exceed your expectations for clean wrestling. Or for Sabrina.
“… need to either lower or exceed your expectations for clean wrestling. Or for Sabrina.”
Probably the latter…
Wow i only found this today and read it all up to date!!!
Awesome idea your doing, I hope sun is going to defend sabrina some more she’s awesome
Welcome Claire! I’m thrilled that you’re caught up with Rival Angels. I’m glad that you like Sun, you definitely don’t want to miss Friday’s update. 😉
I just wondered..
How come Jake didn’t stop this fight? or maybe call the cops?
Maybe in the next episode, the punk girl got a chair then hit Sabrina on the head. which by the way, by doctors order told Sabrina to take it easy. if that happen, how come Sabrina recover? how can she prepare win?
Or maybe in the next episode, the punk girl got a empty bottle and hit Sabrina on the head. 😀
I just hope Sun, Brooke, Krystin and Sabrina just go back to the apartment and get some sleep, their tired..I think before they go home, the punk girl will have retaliate first. and maybe Sabrina go back to the apartment and have black and blues and may bruises.
if they got home, again.. these girls will have isssues again to each other. specially Sabrina and Brooke.
I’m starting to like Brooke..
Maybe Sun’s taking on Brooke. I’m really glad that Krysin didn’t retaliate against Sabrina; she’s still got a clear head. Which makes me wonder how drunk the rest of the girls are. And how much of it is due to having just been fighting in the ring. That probably heightened the tension between them.
Jamie
Do you also believe that “all dudes, without exception, hate each other”? I think your statement is as inaccurate as that is.
M.G.C.
I agree that it’s quite possible that something will happen to Sabrina that might jeopardize her chance to fight.
MGC, I’m going off my own experiences but cops aren’t usually called in unless the situation is serious. There isn’t any weapons, no gang signs or the like. Plus, Jake likes the Upstart girls, and wouldn’t want to get them in trouble. He didn’t break up the fight because it was over before he could do anything.
I’m sensing, MGC, you’d really like to see Sabrina get nailed in the head with a bottle. 😛 As to not ruin the surprise, I won’t say anything about the next update. 😉
AY Mouse, yeah while Krystin has been portrayed as a grump this whole time, she’s the level headed one in this situation. Expect to see more growth in Krystin. And good call with thinking that the match is still on their mind. Believe me that Brooke hasn’t forgotten that Sabrina won the match.
It’s almost like Krystin is *always* angry, and has learned to live with it. As a result, she is less prone to sudden bursts of anger than the others… 😉
I’m sensing, MGC, you’d really like to see Sabrina get nailed in the head with a bottle
-Albone
hahahh.. You got me on that… 😀 :p
That would be interesting to see, but the thing is that isn’t a match. even though she got knockout on the bar, she still undefeated in Rival Angels. since I counting her to win against Loretta Diaz, if Sabrina got nailed in the head with a bottle, I couldn’t say if it will affact the match, coz the match is a week ahead. Sabrina could recover by then.
Since Sabrina’s suspension is a no chance to happen, a bottle in the head could be good, or even a chair. 😀
Rules of engagement, I think this chapter is a comparision between two stable if a bad situation arises the situation which is the trouble is one of them , how will they deal it. Hell’s Belle seems good in handling the situation, than the upstarts girls.
Comparing the Hell’s Belle to the upstart girls. Hell’s Belle quickly cool down the heat, Chloe got mad at Jennifer Needles, and then Jennifer didn’t retaliate. compare that situation to Sun and Brooke. Sun got mad at Brooke, then Brooke quickly retaliate with splashing her drink towards to Sun, which Sun easily dodge it.
even outside the ring, this comics still got it’s action and great story. the Drama still good.. like it alot… Brooke’s character is very interesting too. 😀
JackAce, you could say that Krystin is a professional at being angry. 😛 Right you are about Krystin, look for more of her development soon.
LOL MGC! Don’t you worry, there’s plenty of time between now and the next fight card for Sabrina to get into some trouble. More intrigue between Brooke and Sabrina as well as them separately. As we get closer to the fight card I’ll announce who Sun is fighing and we already know that the Catgirls are fighting Brooke and Krystin. It will interesting to see the strategy the rookie team come up with.
Ah, I’m thrilled that you saw the parallel between the Hell’s Belles and the Upstarts. There’s no substitution for experience, in this case the Hell’s Belles are ring veterans who have been a team for a while. The Upstarts haven’t. And I’m glad that the outside story is keeping you entertained! Look for more Brooke very soon.
Since it seems like Krystin is not planning to get involved in any fisticuffs tonight, the smart thing for her to do right now would be to turn to Brooke and make sure her Tag-Team-Partner doesn’t get herself any deeper into this mess either.
Just walk out on this whole situation and leave Sabrina and Sun standing there looking like fools.
@mouse – no. guys get along fine. we can beat the holy hell out of each other, and go for a beer afterwards (not every guy, but yeah, for the most part). chicks are brutal towards each other. gossipy, petty, mean, vindictive… there’s a reason why most chicks prefer to hang out with guys. i know alot of girls and work with alot of girls. i have yet to meet 1 girl who doesn’t have something bitter or all out mean to say about any other girl… even their supposed best friend.
@Jamie
I have found that blanket statements like yours tend to be wrong. I have known girls who can get along with each other, and guys who can’t stand each other. Everybody is different; assuming any given group will act exactly the same is not realistic. Your assertion would mean that all mothers hate their daughters, all daughters hate their mothers, all sisters hate each other. This isn’t realistic, in my opinion. I think it’s especially silly to think half the world hates each other.
You also assert that gossip equals hate. Consider that it may not. If men can beat each other up and still be friends, then why can’t women gossip about each other and still be friends? You seem to know that men and women tend to interact differently. And I stress TEND because, like I said before, everyone is different. But, just because they interact differently doesn’t mean that girls hate each other because of how they act.
Even if you still believe that gossip equals hate, consider that not all girls gossip. I know girls who don’t. Yes, a lot of girls do gossip, but, then again, so do some guys. Do these guys hate all other guys? Because you believe that the inverse of “all girls, without exception, hate each other” is untrue, I doubt that you think this is true either. So, if guys who gossip about each other don’t hate each other, then why do girls who do have to hate each other?
I doubt I will convince you that not all girls hate each other. You seem determined to believe that. But I also doubt that you will convince me that they do. Like I said before, homogenization of any group is problematic at best. Heck, I’d be hard pressed to find two people who were EXACTLY alike; even identical twins have some differences. So to think half the world hates each other just doesn’t make sense to me.
