Page 186 – Apology
Man, Krystin is hardcore! Seem she’s a purist for the wrestling science of the ring. After all, she is the ‘definition of technician,’ so she could take umbrage with Sara for ho-ing it up (in her words) in the ring. Despite Sara’s shot at Krystin, the girls are still acting cordially so there’s a good chance that they’ll settle this without any physicality. Maybe?
And you’re probably wondering what Krystin’s backstory has to do with this situation. You won’t be able to figure it out now, but hopefully with a little more information, it’ll start to come together. If nothing else, we can see a bit of an attitude difference between young Krystin and grown up Krystin.
Yeesh. we never saw Krystin get all uptight when her good buddy Brooke was wearing skimpy outfits for pops from the male fans. Still seems like she’s trying to get attention herself since all her pals are overshadowing her. Still looks bad for the Sassy one, I can’t see her taken orders from anyone and since she was just in a high intensity match, she isn’t going to have have much left in her if Krystin snaps.
I can respect Krystin’s love for her idea of what wrestling is, but she needs to realize that Sara is just entertaining her fans just like Krystin would if she ever was able to get booked in a match. Dean Maleko was one of the best technical wrestlers back in WCW’s hay day, but when he feuded with Chris Jericho, how could you not love the antics he pulled off. I mean, dubbing himself the man of 1002 holds and increasing it every week or so made the feud much more entertaining.
The thing with Krystin is, she isn’t as perfect as she might think. She went into the fatal four way with a plan to work with Brooke, how’s that showing respect to the ring by plotting dirty tactics just to get a win. And now, as it’s been brought up many times, she’s coming out to confront someone who just had a match. If she really want to prove herself maybe she should have cut a promo in the back and gave her intentions that way rather then sneak into the ring. Krystin really coming off as being full of herself, despite her love for the business. Then again, maybe it’s my Sara fanboyism coming through and tearing down anyone who threatens her << >> lol.
HOLY! I repeat Holy!! I never saw that coming.. As in like Shouryuken!!! All my comment on the last episode, every analyzed, I try to figure and lead to this.. it’s like Jacques Clouseau solved the myster or a crime of the century.. Applause…Applause.. Albone for making it, more twist.. and Thanks… Shouryuken!!! or should I say “Cannon Spike!!”
Panel 1: St. Paul School for Girls.. by that school, I’m sure it had bible studies.. The girls are catholic there.. and expensive school.
Panel 2: Krystin, is somekind of a teacher’s pet. A Class girl in St. Paul.. by that attitude.. responsible and all those.. A grade girls.. who top in class., and the others are the punk girls in school.
Panel 5: kinda out of the question.. Apologize? and I agree on “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine.. This is want the people want.. so give it up for the perverts!! Hentai-Kyoshin!!
I really like to hear “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine will said this on the next episode..
Sara said “okay! I’ll apologize!!” Sara grabs the microphone and said “Hit it! Monkey!” then on the titantron “Apologize” by One Republic/Timberland’s music video show
🙂
I really have to agree with Nappaandvegeta.. in his comment Krystin isn’t perfect, and she isn’t a goddess. and why the hell Krystin act all moral and ethic all of a sudden..
Can I say, Krystin is a bully? one think.. Brooke got waredrove malfunction, then she didn’t got mad at Brooke.. but Sara now.. Sara is 118 lbs.. so I guess Krystin is heavier and stronger than Sara.. so she can push them around.. like in Panel 2-4.. Krystin is more academically intelligence on them in which she can order them around and punish them..
ANother Hyphotesis..
Krystin is a punk-no-phobia.. Â She don’t like punks like Sara Valentine… or maybe a schoolgirl phobia.. she don’t like schoolgirl.. maybe not, if she don’t like punk and schoolgirl she would have attack Sara last monday night meltdown..
KIRIKIRIMAI (Mind Boggling)
Ha!!!
I think I got it!!! Sara got the “body” while Krystin is Butt Ugly!!
🙂
HAHAHHAHAH!!!
Â
vanity!! Leads to Envy, it hurts her pride, and enrage her wrath.. hahahha… Â
By the looks of it, nobody took any notice of Krystin at Public (Private) School, typical boff’ prefect.
Like all good adults with bitter issues left festering from their childhood though, Krystin is taking it out on those same girls who would have spent most of their time tormenting girls like young Krystin and good for her! BOFF POWA!! \m/
Huh…. Very interesting. I think the difference between Brooke and Sara here is that Brooke never intentionally took her clothes off in the ring. I’m not saying she was upset when her clothes fell off, but there it is, you know?
Still, Brooke knew what she was doing wearing such a skimpy outfit during the Halloween match, I can’t imagine Sara was gonna totally steak, just give her fans a little peak like she did at the start of the match. Brooke’s whole reason for wearing that outfit was to show off her body as much as she could. I doubt she even had an intention to get in the ring and risk the wardrobe malefaction lol.
Back to Krystin, if she wants to clean up the ring so much where has the “Definition of Hypocrisy” been all night. Angel cheated to advance in the tourney, her good friend Brooke attacked an already injured Angel, and while the plan backfired, the Yorks also attempted to try and cheat to win, but there’s no Krystin to be seen to confront all of them. Perhaps it’s because she knew she couldn’t do anything to someone with no wear and tear from a match or in the Yorks case would be outnumbered. Again, it seems like Krystin is taking this chance to get her face on TV by attacking someome who has already put on a match and is prob. worn out, evident by the fake she didn’t last long in the Sharpshooter, not to mention the missed A.S.S. can’t feel to good on her lower back as well.
Kyrstin’s “definition of hypocrisy” is one of the reasons why drama works so well in Wrestling. If she really did want to clean up the ring, she’d be running in every other match and trying to kick ass which would make her whiter than white and a total face angel. By selecting which people she takes down and which ones to leave alone she leaves herself open to accusations that she’s just going after people she doesn’t like which makes for a much better storyline.
Oh, I know and I’m glad Krystin is actually doing something more then standing around and throwing random jabs at people. I’m prob. just trying to dig more into her character then I should since Sara’s involved lol.
I may agree on Nappaandvegeta and Prestwick “Definition of Hypocrisy” Krystin Moline.. let’s go back episode 126.. Krystin said “The Hell’s Belles are bunch of Punk bitches” Since the Hell’s Belles kick the living hell out of a losing opponent, if Krystin will kick Sara on the next episode.. Let’s call Chris Jericho!
Krystin said “Apologize for being such a skank” why only to Sara? Brooke purposely wear a hanging cloth..HANGING CLOTH.. if the wind blow on that, surely people will see the “GoDDess Boobs”
Episode 74.. Brooke did it!! ah? where’s Krystin? where’s talking apologizing?
Episode 147-148: Brooke revealed that she Blumpkin her way in.. 148?: see Sun tries to attack Brooke, BUT! Krystin prevent it.. WHY? and then now, she’s saying to Sara?
Krystin really made Chris Jericho an honestman..
Â
If Sara won’t apologize what will Krystin do? give Sara a ticket for not apologizing? I AM VERY VERY VERY disapointed with Krystin.. no more Krystin Moline as my favorite…
another thing though..
Krystin is challenging Sara into a “loser take off their shirt match”
Or maybe! Just Maybe.. Krystin is protecting Brooke.. like making “GoDDess Aphrodite” Brooke Lennox, the only angel can show the audience her GoDDess powers.. no one else must do the same.. Â
I think cheating to win and taking off your clothes are 2 very different animals. There’s been cheating in professional wrestling since the beginning. Just like chair shots, gimmick matches, and masks. While not exactly a “high brow sport” (like horse racing! gotta get me some downs!!!) wrestlers and wrestling still had a standard and it was above, for lack of a better term, porn in terms of credibility. I think what Krystin’s trying to do is not bring wrestling down to porn level. I agree. I hate bra and pantie matches. H-A-T-E them. Waste of time. Even worse… a freakin 4-way b&p match! A skimpy outfit here and there is fine, but keep your clothes on, ladies. all it lead to is Mae Young taking off HER clothes… Go Krystin! but, I hope Sara kicks your butt in the inevitable match.
Art note: I like the faded colours for the history lesson. Nice school, too. Did you use a reference? Thirdly, K’s trunk is a little thick, I think.
Salt to the eyes Sara! XPW had a whole pornstar connection though, with some decent wrestling (well, okay, I really just liked Angel and Kaos).
Going off subject slightly or is it just me or does Krystin have a but of MVP attitude about her..?
oh. just to add: Sara’s body posture is awesome! well done.
Hey everyone! Love the debate going on here and the newfound interest in Krystin!
NappAndVegeta, that’s awesome bringing up the Malenko/Jericho feud. That was a great one and where Jericho dubbed the nickname, ‘Stinko Malenko.’ Too funny. There’s still more to Krystin’s backstory and there’s more to the drama playing out between Krystin and Sara so we’ll get to see a bit more about what the true motivations are behind what Krystin’s thinking. So far, Krystin’s comments have been directed towards Sara’s attire and demeanor than any sort of foul tactics.
MGC, That’d be hilarious if Krystin writes up a detention slip for Sara. XD I’m glad I’m able to surprise you from time to time, lets me know that I’m doing a good job. But as far as we’ve seen, Krystin does not have as high of a moral or ethical code as say, Sabrina, so coming after Sara and not going after Brooke would be justified in her mind. Though, we’ll know some more shortly about just what is on Krystin’s mind and where’s she’s coming from.
Hey Prestwick, you didn’t happen to notice that the middle girl in the third panel sort of resembles Sara did you? 😛 That was intentional for certain reasons, but its definitely not Sara. You also caught on about her being selective with what her intentions could be and that she does have some MVP about her. When I created her, I did have a bit of MVP in mind and she even uses his old ROH theme music. 😀
Right on Coyote Lovely, while the distinction may be thin, there is a certain baseline for what Krystin is doing.
Hey Jamie, you read my mind with the debate on stripping vs cheating. I’m not very fond of bra and panty matches and I think I would end up losing a few readers if I did it in the story. I’m glad you liked the faded flashbacks, more to come with that! And, I’m a fan of horse racing myself, and try to get to Arlington Park once a year. 😛 Sara makes a lot of things look sexy. You should see her gardening…. O_o
Ha ha, Picky! Maybe she can borrow some from Mr. Fuji. No lie, the powder will be making a cameo in upcoming update. Whooo, XPW! Do you remember when they tried to invade ECW? Man, that would’ve been so cool.
Well, Krystin was the Upstart with the least amount of personality shown so far, but now we’re seeing what makes her tick. Does this make her a babyface or a heel? Guess we’ll see, although stopping everyone from seeing Sara’s rack isn’t going to make her popular.
I think that there is a big difference between Brooke’s boingers and Sara’s striptease… And that Krystin’s annoyance at Sara is justifiable in her mind. Dressing like a call girl is one thing, but acting like one is taking it too far – for Krystin, anyway…
Interesting chapter. I definitely agree with Nappaandvegeta on the Jerichoand Malenko feud comparison. Krystin kind of reminds me of Lacey when she joined Age of the Fall in Ring of Honor and told Sunny about her promiscuous ways and how it made all female wrestlers look bad. Oddly enough, Gail Kim also comes to mind when it comes to Krystin telling off Sara Valentine about how she should respect the ring. Ironically, she didn’t get Brooke told about it, so it could be an odd alliance later down the road.  The backstory is well done, showcasing her sense of justice and respect for authority. It seems Krystin has kind of hardened as a result of what happened back in her school years and has only heightened that sense of justice and morality to a particular degree. Sara better watch out; she might end up in a Low-Ki style dragon sleeper before it’s all said and done.
I vaguely remember the ECW invasion. I mainly remember XPW because this indy promotion that ran cards where I went to grad school would have XPW wrestlers now and then.
Well. I got up Friday morning and did the rounds of the M W F comics I read… uhh, something’s wrong, Rival Angels, which has Bright!! Bold!! Color!! illustrating Dynamic!! Action!!.. and I see mumble drab mumble monochrome mumble earthtone mumble pastels.
I refreshed the page to see if this ‘color malfunction’ persisted. Please excuse me, Alan, I’m a bit slow when I’m waking up. Things I would figure out instantly if awake take a while then.
This is an interesting flashback, Krystin is the least featured Upstart and there is a whole lot of explanation coming… I wonder if her attitude in her and Sun’s recent talk with Sabrina ( Yo! Brina! Going up against a Ding a ling skank alone is… BAD!! We wanna help! ) will be illuminated some…
Okay I get it now, in panel three the middle girl is supposed to look like Sara. At first, once I realized this was RA, and yes, it is supposed to look like this, I thought the girl on the left resembled Kat Smith and the middle girl Chloe de Sade. The pastels are what did it, Chloe is one of the palest characters in the comic. And, oh yeah, the evil scheming eyebrows made me think that.
Panel five: total attitude from Sara and Krystin; you can feel Sara’s impatience through the art. Also, Krystin’s “for your own good” righteousness comes through too. Sara’s “Oh, you’re an ‘Upstart’ kid” is funny, remember she got Ninja’d! last week ( her time ) by an ‘Upstart’ kid.
Just keep drawing and writing, Alan, I’m curious to see where this all goes. I’ve always thought comics have a great deal of storytelling potential, an illustrated literature with, when well drawn, a capacity for movement not that far short of movies and you have the talent for this.
Hey Ken B3, it’s a good question and I don’t think its one that is going to have a quick answer, but we’ll have a good idea where she’s coming from in a bit.Â
