Whoops! Sabrina sort of painted herself into a corner. Gabrielle told her she could only fight twice in one night if it were a pay per view event and she was out of the TV tournament. If Gabrielle lets this stand and Sabrina moves on to the finals of the TV Tournament, she would have Chloe De Sade and the Championship finals match in one night! That’s a lot of ‘if’s’ in there, so for now, we know that Sabrina Mancini vs Chloe De Sade is ON for the ‘Heaven and Hell’ Pay Per View!
Sun did try to warn Sabrina before the fact, but you have to think that a challenge in front of a national audience was going to get an immediate response from Sabrina. In that way, Chloe got one up on Sabrina, and getting her back for the mockery. The chess match between these two intense ladies has only begun! One good thing to come out of this is the solidarity between the Upstart girls, something we haven’t really seen, which means it probably won’t last, but refreshing while it lasts.
Next update, Schoolgirl Sara Valentine Vs. Loretta Diaz! And maybe a surprise. 😉
NEW VOTING INCENTIVE! Vote to get a sneak peak of the next update!
Poor, delluded Brooke. At least the other Upstarts make up for her slack.Â
I like the direction RA is going. I’d like it even more if Sara Valentine gets her first win!
hehe…
on mobile. Both Sara and Loretta need a win
If I were the commissioner, I’d have to look at it from two angles.
First, this is good money. Obviously the fans are behind seeing a Chloe/Sabrina match.
Second, having Sabrina in two matches on one pay per view might overexpose her, plus leave the new cash cow subject to a greater risk of injury, especially if the Chloe/Sabrina match happens before the TV Title tournament. This might not be the case, as usualy the headlining match involives the World Title, and are usually not placed next to matches with other titles.
What’s more, other girls in the locker room may get resentful if Sabrina gets that much more air time on the PPV.
She might want to delay the Chloe/Sabrina match to the night after the PPV.
Another reference to the real life wrestler. This time it’s Sting. Nice.
Â
Wow, so I guess in the next PPV we’re going to see Sabrina competing twice ?? I guess Sabrina is going to suffer her first lost here then. Either she lost to De Sade, or lost in TV tournaments, or both. Or …… she could pull a John Cena and ‘winning despite the odds are stacked against him’ (Gosh, I hate Michael Cole and his monotone announcing). But I don’t think that’s gonna happen though.
Quick prediction… on the PPV, Sabrina wins the TV title, but loses to Chloe. Number of reasons for this — so far, Sabrina has been getting the upper hand on the Belles, and it’s time for the heels to look strong. Plus, it’s too early in the storyline, I think, for Sabrina to win in a blowoff match with the leader of the Hell’s Belles. Result is this — Sabrina comes out looking like the scrappy underdog who finally bit off more than she could chew, but doesn’t end up looking weak as a result. She did wrestle twice in one night after all. We finally get to see what Chloe can do, and get a sense for why she’s the top heel in Rival Angels. Sabrina might fight valiantly, but at this point Chloe should get a decisive win. Plus, if the title is on the line (assuming that happens first, which is quite likely as Chloe is a main-eventer), she’s just basically backdoored her way into getting her overall goal — the TV title belongs to the Belles. Also, and this is a bit of cunning thinking here… let’s say that for whatever reason Gabrielle decides that due to their antics, Kat and Jennifer are barred from ringside. Well… that might just explain why Angel Soprano hasn’t been making appearances with the Hells’ Belles. Because Chloe’s keeping her in reserve to spring at a time when it would be to her advantage. And since she’s not ‘officially’ a Hell’s Belle, there’s nothing stopping her from doing a run-in as her initiation to the group. That’s how I’d book it, anyway — the Belles get their heat back without making Sabrina look weak.
And that my friends will set up more anticipation for the rematch, when Sabrina is fighting her in top form. 🙂
Also… wow, Brooke really does live in her own little world now. Does she really think the fans are cheering for her at this point? She’s really looking pathetic at this point.
I’ll really agree on Adon and PS2kid.. very well said guys…
‘White Queen’ Chloe De Sade
Fact: – ‘White Queen’ Chloe De Sade on stayed 3 and a half months on a development territory.. So she’s a great wrestler..
Episode 7
Fact: – ‘white Queen’ Chloe De Sade fought ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua on many occassion, actually won some of the matches and also been number 1 contender for the Rival Angels Heavyweight Title, but loss on an actual title match. so ‘white Queen’ Chloe De Sade is no doubt great wrestler.
http://rivalangels.freeforums.org/brenda-rua-fan-thread-t58-10.html
(?) – Chloe De Sade punched God.. (I don’t know if it’s true) heheheh..
I really like ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini got the TV Belt.. (Hopeful.. she won’t be come arrogant when she got the belt)
The question is which comes first.. ‘White Queen’ Chloe De Sade VS ‘ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini or THe TV Belt… if the TV belt came first.. ‘white Queen’ Chloe De Sade might used her backstage to make it a title match.. much like what happen in WWE extreme rules.. CM punk cashing in and won..
THis is also similar to a coin toss match, back in wrestlemania X.. Bret Hart, yokozuna and Lex Luger..
Love the Voting Incentives…. Loretta Diaz and Sara Valentine…
The painful part is one of them lose.. coz either one needs a win.. if lose.. T_T
I really Like Panel 3: Chloe De Sade!!
‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini is taking ‘Shinobi’ ‘Lil Dragon’ Sun Wong and Krystin Moline concern as if nothing.. I mean Sabrina kinda don’t care here… I’m saying panel 4-6..
‘ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini change.. kinda like, the win got over her head. I mean like making fun of the Hell’s Belles.. I know ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini, taking advice from Marina Ortiz. being a nice girl.. but I don’t know, I kinda felt she change.. (I don’t know)
maybe Help…
kinda nice to see Rival Angels in Mobile… heheh.. using WiFi.. hehehhe…
I’d compare Chloe backdooring her way into the title picture more to something Edge would do… and that’s part of what makes Edge an awesome heel. It’s skeezy as all hell, a dishonorable way to go about it… but that’s what heels *do*. In the end, it makes Chloe look both smart and scummy, which is as she should be. And yeah, I think that CM Punk’s title win was also a heelish move, but one that at the time left people going ‘huh’? WWE is not famous for their solid booking these days. Regarding this… I think it’s too early for Sabrina to be defeating Chloe. She’s the ‘big bad’, and at this point it should be more ‘wow, she can hang with the Marquise’ rather than actually defeating her.
I also don’t really see a change in Sabrina. This isn’t the first time where she’s gone in swinging when she should have stopped to think first. So far, she’s gotten away with it… but this time I think it may well be that Chloe snowed her. Mind games… if you learn your opponent’s habits (in this case, Sabrina’s habit of impulsively accepting challenges that put her at a disadvantage), you can use it to your advantage. Sabrina is rather predictable in that regard, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Chloe has figured that out. Hey, the Hell’s Belles have to be the top heel stable for the reason, and neither Kat nor Jennifer have demonstrated any great gift for deep thought, so it makes sense that Chloe’s got the market cornered in brains when it comes to them. XD
My main concern in both wrestling and in this comic is that the storyline both makes sense and stays interesting. That means sometimes the heels need to get the upper hand — otherwise they look pathetic. Similarly, the faces need to get over on the heels — otherwise we get situations like the NWO, which was build build build hey where’s the blowoff? (Yeah, I think they dropped the ball when they were building Sting to be the one to end the NWO and then changed it at the last minute, crushing his viability and causing the storyline to become stagnant.) In short, if a situation seems one-sided for too long, it loses steam.
Now its time for actions!!
Btw, i agree with Adon abou the issue of the ppv for sabrina, she gonna win her match agains Carpenter, but loose agains Chloe De Sade!
Voting Incentives: Not too bad, good for Valentine, no realy for Loretta, she is too in the back and she dont look pretty like usual.
Monday: Back to work 🙁 … but back to RV 🙂 😛
Wow! Great commentary and analysis here. You guys know your stuff for sure! I think the fact that you don’t all agree 100% just shows how complex the situation is. Great going boss!
I love the voting incentive too. But if I was at ringside I’d be whipping out a bobby pin and rubber band. Target! Green 10. Up 20. Fire for effect!
And where are you when all this commenting is going down, Albone? 😉
Wow, lots of great comments about Rival Angels and wrestling in general. Great stuff.
Hey Picky! Thanks for the love, and as far as Valentine goes, her match is just about on!
Zodo, these are great concerns you have here. Another aspect that Gabrielle will have to consider is if Sabrina will be here for the long haul, or a fly-by-night. That would certainly lead to whether she would want to limit Sabrina’s exposure, or squeeze everything she can out of her. The other girls in the locker room having hard feelings is going to be a concern either way too.
Well PS2Kid, all of those scenario’s you laid out are possible. But which one? Or several of them? And there’s a lot of time between now and the PPV. Glad you liked the Sting reference!
Adon, some great thoughts there. First, yeah, Brooke is in her own little world. Its sad to see her so attention starved. As to upcoming match between Chloe and Sabrina, wow, great stuff. I’m glad that Chloe is coming off as a cunning vet, striking when the opportunity presents itself. You could even argue that Sabrina got played by Chloe. Beautiful point about Angel Soprano and using her as a backup plan. You’ve got a great mind for this. 😉 Great comparison between Chloe and Edge. They’re two peas in a pod and who I think, would not get along with each other. Good thoughts on Sabrina, but even if she did think about it, I think the pressure of having to answer immediately or risk looking cowardly would’ve gotten her to accept. Chloe got her. Good example with the nWo. That was something good that just turned into a train wreck, especially with how they handled Sting. It is my intention to never come near *that*.
Hey MGC, its a good question. Which match would happen first? The hurdle here is that Sabrina has to actually WIN her match against Xtina, and you might remember that Angel has her Bonus Life clause to use still. Glad you enjoyed the Voting Incentive. Both girls do need the win, but I think Sara needs it more. I think you got it wrong with Sabrina though. She’s very concerned with what Krystin and Sun advised her, but what is she supposed to do? Cry? Be afraid? That’s just not Sabrina’s style. She’s more of the type to take care of the messes she makes.
Svan, Rival Angels helps make the work week better. XD Seems like the general consensus is that Chloe is hoping for Sabrina to make the finals, win the belt from Kat and then win the belt for herself. Nice thinking!! Chloe is not above sacrificing her friends to get what she wants. More Loretta coming next update. 😉
Hey Champ! Yeah, lots of great insight and comments here, including your own. You’re so bad RE: Sara. 😛
Darkmark, consider myself ‘present.’ 😉
he’s polishing his new RR Phantom.
I have nothing else to input. Except, I loved Brooke in the last few updates.
Go Valentine!!!!!!!!
Actually Albone.. What is she suppose to do?
I think be afraid.. Coz I compare ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini in episode 31 and 32
Sabrina said “Sure I know who the Hell’s Belles are.. you’re ah a… premiere force to be reckoned with”
‘Good Save’
Sabrina said “The thing is….I’m going to have to pass. I’m not really for the team’s…or…Rulebreaking
Episode 31…
Sabrina said “I have to declide, Repectfuly”
‘Kill me now’
Episode 32..
I think and then now making fun of the Hell’s Belles.. even provoking them..
HELP HERE!
🙂
I don’t really think it’s a huge leap. The party, she was a complete newbie who was being introduced to a group of ladies whose style was completely opposed to her own, and even offered a spot with them. She was trying to get out of it graciously — but she also didn’t realize yet that Chloe isn’t the sort of person who takes ‘no’ for an answer. Basically at the time, the Belles weren’t her enemies, and I think she wasn’t going out of her way to make any. But again, Chloe is the kind of person who is likely to go into a rage at being denied *anything*… something Sabrina now knows.
Now, the Belles have already struck against her. Sabrina has to know that the Belles aren’t just going to decide to leave her alone, and this IS wrestling. If you stay on the defensive all the time, you’re looking for a beatdown. This whole exercise was intended, I think, as an attempt to break the Belles’ mystique by going out there and saying ‘no, we’re not scared of you and in fact are willing to mock you’.
To Albone… I can think of some face wrestlers who could have gotten out of wrestling twice in one night without looking weak, but they are skilled talkers. The Rock, for instance: “Whoa whoa whoa whoa, jabronie! You want to go one on one with the great one while he is celebrating his destined win of the championship? What, do you think that the Rock had a glass of jabronie juice and said (squeaky voice) ‘gee willikers, I’m going to accept like an idiot! That’s going to be swell!’ The Rock is embarassed to be in the presence of people so stupid as to think he’s going to put up with that monkey crap!” And then he’d make a counter-offer. Mick Foley could probably likewise come out of that making them look foolish in the process.
Sabrina… well… isn’t a talker on that level. And she DOES have Sting syndrome of getting in over her head, I think.
Good Rock rant, Adon.
Looks like Brooke is enjoying being Ultra Girl.
WOOOOAHHHH! Sassy is up next and she better win! *folds arms*
Anyhow good page Alb. Looking forward to seeing Sabrina get flattened LOL. Incidentally whats Chole’s finisher, weight etc? We need her bakcground.
Right on, Jamie! Â I would like a Phantom. 😀
MGC, what Adon said. XD Â Sabrina was looking to pick a fight, and while it didn’t go the way she wanted, I think it would be weird for her to feel fear in this situation. Â Regret maybe, or concern, but I think fear is a bit of a stretch for her.
Adon my man!  You’re absolutely right.  I think in time, Sabrina may gravitate towards Rock and Mick, who were super over in their own right.  She’s still a bit green, hence her getting painted in a corner.  ‘Sting Syndrome,’ is really good.  Maybe a bit of Steamboat, but  Sabrina’s not as humble as that dude, said affectionately.  But, this dance with De Sade and Sabrina is far from over. Expect a bit more intrigue and drama to be added to the mix.
Rorshach, she’s enjoying the cheering, but I think she forgot that she’s dressed as Ultragirl! Â LOL
Ha ha Matt! Â Yes, Sara’s coming next update! Â As discussed before, *I* think she needs the win more than Loretta, but it should be a good match. Â Sabrina’s got an uphill battle coming her way. Â Chloe’s finisher is the Sweet Surrender. Â Think of it as a dragon sleeper/bodyscissors combo. Â More details on De Sade will be forthcoming. 😉
Sweet Surrender or Sweet Agony?
HELP!!
*looks it up* Sweet Agony. 😛
What a great b-day it would be if Sara won in Fridays update lol.
LOL. Â Nappaandvegeta, if Sara wins, it will be dedicated to you and your birthday, and for all of her fans. XD
If?? what do you mean IF albone?? Heh
Anyhow, as inspiration to Albone to give our fave gal a win in her own special way, and for fans of Sara kicking ass and being generally sexy.. you can read a story i wrote in the fan fic section of the forum. Go here

Well i hope Sara vs Loretta match will not end in only 2 pages, i want a great match 😛
LORETTA FOR THE WIIIN!!
Meh, Loretta is a way hotter than Valentine. First, she is a Latina chicks :P, 2e She si very hot, her look is a little similar to Lacey with her ring gear. Beside, as a wrestler, Loretta got more kodu for beeing a submission wrestler. In my opinion thats a real wrestler with Talents and she kniow how to hurt her opponent. 😉
LOL each to his own Svan, personally i find submissions boring, any wrestler can bend a joint or back.. theyre good for wear down but nothing says you won, or lost than that 3 count 🙂
Anyway, Loretta is hot and gonna win 😛
hehehe.. Very Nice!! Loretta VS Sara..
whoever, I think the episode will be call “Revenge of the Fallen” coz either one needs a win..
Svan is correct.. Loretta Diaz is the ‘Latina Chick’
I hope Commissioner Gabrielle don’t fired anybody who loss the match between Loretta VS Sara..
if Loretta really underestimate Sara, that will be her downfall. like Loretta Diaz VS Sabrina Mancini in rival angels.. Loretta Diaz really underestimate Sabrina Mancini from the starting bell in which Sabrina totally dominates it.. Loretta also getting hardtime of a high flyer and speed wrestler, like Sabrina Mancini.
Sara Valentine got the most disadvantage here, she’s only 118lbs. and her weakness is technical wrestler, like Loretta Diaz. Sara Valentine don’t have the determination to win, she’s carefree. one Diaz drop (Pedigree) it’s lights out on Sara. Xtina VS Sara.. Xtina applied the sharpshooter on Sara, Sara is just near the ropes, she could just resisted the plan and crawl reach the bottom ropes..
Albone suprise?
My guess is that, Loretta Diaz and Sara Valentine executes a leg split..
🙂
hahaha
MGC 😉 you think exactly like me ! And i was about to post the final between carpenter and Valentine just for Matt when i saw you already replyed… Valentine taped out while Carpenter applyed a SUBMISSION HOLD on her ;P
Well MGC, your also right about that fact that if Loretta underestimate Valentine, she gonna loose… but not only that, Loretta must keep an eyes in her back cause Valentine can get some help from others too, its also a possibility.
Oh and about the leg split 😛 could be awesome for Valentine (yeah i like her too btw ^^ ), but i think Loretta prefer to be sexy when she apply a sub move 😉
Haha, wow!! The debate between who’ll win between Loretta and Sara is already cooking and we’re about 12 hours til posting! I wonder if we’ll see a Loretta fan club spring up alongside the Krystin/Brenda/Catgirls/Sara fan clubs. XD
And for those that love Sara Valentine, check out Matt’s link and work for a story about the sassy schoolgirl:
http://rivalangels.freeforums.org/sassy-sara-valentine-fiction-against-the-odds-complete-t91.html
Yep Al, your idea to make fight Loretta and Sassy Schoolgirl is awesome, will be a legendary match!! 😛
Oh and finaly, i will be happy if Valentine got a win too. Too hard to make a choice here, both are hot and good. If i was you Albone i’ll get an headach only to think about who im gonna make win. lol
Albone…
ah? forgot the Hell’s Belles fan club
🙁
It’s a fun problem to have. 😀 Â Both, Loretta and Sara are successful, we just haven’t personally seen it yet. Â Therefore, a good matchup on paper.
Sorry MGC, how could I forget about the Belle’s fanclub? Â Everyone should check that one, especially if you love Chloe, Kat and Jennifer. 😉
Oh wow, guys conversation about wich girls gonna win…Â interesting ^^
In my side I prefer Loretta. 😉
Hey Vanessa! Â Yeah, lots of great interest here. Â Wait til you see what happens next! Â *your Loretta vote is noted.* 😀
