Wha-ho! That sneaky little Angel Soprano pulled it off! Granted, she chilled outside of the ring ala Mr. Perfect so she TECHNICALLY didn’t cheat, but it really wasn’t very sporting of her. Don’t like it? Too bad!! She gets into the Television tournament, but which bracket she’ll pick is anybody’s guess. Or is it? After all, she can go and claim a spot in the Hell’s Belles too and I’m sure Chloe will have her own ‘recommendations’ for what bracket Angel should pick to enter the TV tournament.
Ah, poor Fran. I know she was a favorite of many of you and she would’ve had it but for that sneaky Soprano girl. You can tell by the fan reaction that Angel isn’t their favorite pick to win this.  The battle royal moved kind of quick but we know now who’s going to be in the next bracket of the TV tournament and the girls that are IN the TV tournament can’t say that.  Yet.Â
So did your pick to win the Battle Royal come through? XD
Next on Monday’s update: The return of the Upstart girls!! You remember them, the stars of the show? XD Well the Upstart girls and…an unexpected guest.
Anyone check out the Mickey Rourke movie, The Wrestler? Â If you have, check out my review of it over here and feel free to chime in with your thoughts on the film and the rumor that Rourke will be appearing at Wrestlemania this year.
Have a great weekend, we’ll see you back here on Monday. 😀
Discussion (19) ¬
Panel 1:Â the audience cheer Silver Silver… hahah.. and look at Lover Lola she’s sad… kinda odd she got sad feelings..
Â
Panel 2: looking at Nikki.. she’s out of position, af if the accelerated too much, that’s why she is near the ropes. and then grabs the rope to prevent elimination.
Â
Panel 3: Francesca grabs Veronica’s leg using to eliminate them Veronica and Nikki.. I guess Veronica is a lighter weight.. So if Veronica is lighter weight, I guess, Veronica uses Nikki acceleration, to eliminate her.. and look at Angel Soprano.. sneaking in the ring…
Panel 4: Angel Soprano.. quickly grabs the leg and eliminate Francesca York.. Angel Soprano uses Mr. Perfect’s ,William Regal’s and The Rock’s tactics.. but The Rock’s got eliminate when he uses the guest commentator tactic, and waiting the final four.. The funny thing of the rock, he got eliminate..hahah.. the was a very funny since.. I remember is it Booker T. eliminate the Rock.. ahha.. this is always advantage in the battle royal or royal rumble expect your oppenent to win then strike.. Just like British Bulldog, thought he won the royal rumble, but goit eliminated by H.B.K.
Â
Panel 5: Francesca York.. is she out cold? is Francesca York out cold? she looks out cold? Â
Â
Angel Soprano’s tactics.. I say, it’s really a tactics used. I think Angel Soprano really really like to join the Hell’s Belles.. compare Angel and Amanda.. Amanda just like the foods..
Â
I bit curious of how the eliminate the angels.. mostly use the same tactics. the leg and then carry drop them of over the top rope.. usuall in the WWE.. some uses clothesline or toss them from behind in uses grabing the hair and tights..
Â
It’s sad to know that noone came to help Nikki Foxx.. any member of the Damage Inc interfere so she’ll win..
I wonder what did Chloe De Sade and Yvonne Carmichael discuss off?
upstart girls and unexpected guess.. I think the guess will be Monica Rumble?hahahah..
I’m sure Chloe De Sade will put ANgel Soprano on the second bracket..
ahhh!! still no stats on the bonus life battle royal conetstant.. 🙁
kinda shocker that Francesca York, a fan favorite.. could it be Francesca York and Josephine York will turn to face wrestlers?
Â
just an ad up comment… Angel Soprano.. surely she can’t win if she didn’t do that.. look at ANgel Soprano.. I thik she weight in around 110lbs.. with the height of 5″3.. and I guess the lightest weight in the bonus lif battle royal..
Â
I notice this in must of the rumble matches.. people will target the heaviest weight first.. gang up on them.. the lightest weight, are always the prey for the Heaviest weight..
I wonder who is sneakier.. Angel Soprano or “Shinobi” “Lil Dragon” Sun Wong?
Â
So many things are unanswered yet in Rival Angel..
3 comments and guess what, all of them are from MGC. *sigh*
So one of the girls who are bribed by Hell’s Belles is winning the Battle Royal. I can see her become a ‘temporary’ member of Hell’s Belles now, and will only be used by the Belles to get what they want in the first place (making either Jennifer or Kat the TV Champion). And after that, the Belles will definitely kick her out.
::snaps:: Drat. Well, I’ll still cheer for Stirling Silver. 😀
I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the wrestling part of the comic as much, but I’m having a good time cheering for the girls. I can’t wait to see the next fight!
I was almost right! Angel cheated better than my girl wrestled though, darn it!
So… now Chloe has an inside hand to help out. This could be interesting indeed. I see trouble in the making. Does she have to pick which match she’ll be in before the first match starts?
If this was the WWE, I could easily see her saying she’d pick when she was good and ready and then waiting to make sure Kat wins her match before joining the other, so she could rush the ring and join at a key point in Kat’s match if necessary for Kat to win and advance. If she tried that and succeeded, I could see Chloe actually taking her into the Belle’s for real, and then kicking Jennifer out for losing.
On the flip side, if she joins the other, she’s going to be expected to first be sure that Sabrina doesn’t win, and second win herself. If she manages both, she’s going to be expected to give the match to Kat and since I don’t see Angel doing -that-, she won’t be allowed to join the Belles, no matter what Chloe promised.
LOL MGC! Â Even monsters like Lola have feelings. XD Â Fran’s exhausted more than anything, and a little disappointed. Â She had the win. She HAD it, but Angel was a little bit too sneaky. Â Ha!! Â You’re sad that Damage Inc didn’t cheat? Â That’s hilarious, I’m happy you enjoy them so much. Â To be fair though, there’s more than one ref down there, plus Damage Inc doesn’t always resort to cheating. Â Nikki had a good shot at winning, she was in the final four and in her mind the final three. Â I don’t know who’s sneakier between Angel and Sun, but it’d be awesome to find out.
I won! Well, this round anyway. yay Angel Soprano! She definitely gets a pin-up now. if she becomes a full member of HB, Sal’s right, it’ll be at the expense of Jen Needles, though. but that’s a big ‘if’. as to what bracket she could join. i would say the Kat bracket in order to ensure she goes to the final round.
I like seeing heels done well. In this case, we have a winner in Angel Soprano… she didn’t even technically cheat (there’s no rule against going out of the ring under your own power), but she sure as hell was underhanded and broke the spirit of what a battle royal is supposed to be. Which is what good heeldom is all about. Frankly, she’s won me over as a candidate for the Belles, as that is utterly their style. Frankly, she comes off better than Jennifer Needles has so far — she is a sneaky cheat but she’s a *clever* sneaky cheat.
Even though I commented yesterday on her leaving the ring, I had forgotten all about the evil angel. Sneaky little, um, tramp! No offense meant to Jamie, of course.Â
By the way, albone, nicely drawn. I like how you’ve set up the last panel: victorious gladiator with arm raised, standing above the defeated. I’m thinking she’ll have to break a sweat in her next match, though!
Hey Jamie! Â Could be some possible intrigue going on with the Hell’s Belles and their apparent new member. Â I can safely tell you that not many people picked our little Soprano to win it, so you’re in unique company. Â As to which round her (and Chloe) pick, is anyone’s guess.Â
Nuts! I was so hoping that the York sisters would take this tourney and use it to their advantage. But this is even better! ^_^
Hi CAIMARU, glad you’re enjoying the card so far, even with Fran not winning the battle royal. 😀
Well… don’t count the York sisters out. Especially if Angel gets involved in a match involving the other York. I don’t think they’ll forget that little trick, and I can see them bringing a little outside interference to even the score.
You said Mr. Perfect… I thought Ric Flair did this at the 92 Rumble, as well… I could be incorrect, but I definitely recall watching that one as a kid…
Good point, Salazen. Â The York sisters aren’t likely to forget or forgive Angel, though they might just be half-admiring it. XD
Been reading this comic since it’s early days, and enjoying both parts, wrestling and the drama. Both are equally great. My friend and I have said that it’s amazing how a non promoter can pull off a better storyline than those in the big leagues. Keep it up Albone!
And since we’re talking sneaky Rumble heels, we can’t forget Vince himself. Despite having help from The Rock he did stay out of the rumble for most of the time.Â
Hey  Chief Booka!  Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.  Ah yes, that was ‘corporate’ Rock wasn’t it?  Seems like Angel Soprano has followed in some great footsteps, at least as battle royal matches are concerned.
