Page 258 – Revelation
You could hear a pin drop.
Lora’s done a really awesome job with this chapter and now, Sun’s secret is out! That doesn’t stop her from tearing down the Upstarts (Brooke just about peed herself) and breaking down Sabrina, emotionally and physically. Everyone’s stunned to find out that Sun joined Damage Inc., but you guys remember, right? Sun got Sabrina to tag with her against the York Sisters under false pretenses and with them defeating the York Sisters, Sun was now secretly a member of Damage Inc. And now its out in the open. With this bombshell revelation, where do the Upstarts and especially Sabrina go from here?
FYI, panel 3 has Sun executing the Mafia Kick and it’s not the first time she’s ever used it.
This isn’t over by a longshot. Be sure to come back on Monday!

Who is that tall lady red hair with green wrestling gear on the left… no no! is it ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua!! waaaa!! I hope Brenda will kick Sun’s hind! next episode.!
Â
Sun just fired a shotgun! and spread to Krystin and Brooke! Â ‘Everybody hates Sun!’ if Sun got kickout from the upstart house.. sorry! Sun! I’ll only accept Sabrina Mancini on my guest room!
Â
I really agree this on Sun saying “I can be a team player, when the team is quality”
Â
now now!! I really like Sabrina to join the Hell’s Belles.. since panel 1: Angel Soprano is there, she can ask her.. heheh!
Â
Can we judge Sun to be ‘unconsiderate’? or not?
remember 149.. Sabrina is about to leave, and because of Sun. Sabrina stayed. now Sun leaving even though Sabrina is there.. so which means Sun doesn’t need Sabrina.. Sun don’t like Sabrina to be her BFF.
Â
Panel 6: Sabrina asked Sun “Are you gonna leave us?’
Sun answered “I just did”
Â
is that means Sun won’t be leaving in the upstart home? Sun will be on a penthouse with Damage Inc?
Â
Sun being a ninja.. and this what happen.. Sun is a ‘Akatsuki’ member!
Where do the upstarts go from here? hmmmm..
Â
I really recomended Sabrina joining the Hell’s Belles from now on!
Â
Brooke got her own group..’Beauty and Beast’/ or ‘Big Fat Breast’  (‘GoDDess Aphrodite’ Brooke Lennox  and Amanda Breaker)
Krystin Moline.. ah?… I don’t know!!
Â
but still in this episode Sun still didn’t reveal that she’s in Damage Inc…
Truly a heartbreaking page. I have felt quite a few times during the story that I would like to see Sabrina taken down a peg or two but by her own best friend. I just can’t get behind that. Sun has some priority issues. Its obvious her group is only using her for her wrestling ability. When they get what they need out of her they will kick her to the curb. From there it will be up to Sabrina whether she will accept her apology or not. I already cannot wait till Monday. Great stuff!
It’s official now. Sun is leaving Upstarts and join the heel group Damage Inc. I guess Sabrina’s & Sun’s path will often clashed against each other from now on. Sabrina will also left to defend herself alone from now on.
Â
I wonder what is going to happen with the TV tournament now. Sabrina still has to face Xtina Carpenter, then if she won she has to face Katherine Smith. Not to mention she still has to face Chloe De Sade at the PPV (with Kat & Jen backing her up definitely). Wow. 3 scheduled opponents, and Sabrina has nobody to back her up. Her only hope right now is ….. Krystin ?
All I can say is what RAWF said… heartbreaking. 🙁
Sun IS wrong about ‘none of them having committment to each other’. It’s true of the group as a whole… but it’s been clear as day that Sabrina was committed to Sun, and was willing to stick her neck out for her. In retrospect, the whole conversation comes off as Sun trying to justify herself. And I think she’s being deliberately cruel here… not because she wants to hurt Sabrina, but to make it a ‘clean break’.
Some will do doubt disagree, but here Sun’s gone too far. She’s pushing away the one true friend she’s made, and doesn’t seem to appreciate that while yes, she was looking out for Sabrina, Sabrina was looking out for HER.
Honestly… this is pretty frigging depressing. :( I hope SOMETHING goes right, because frankly, I don’t really enjoy stuff that’s persistently gloomy.
Sun being a Damage Inc. member, as I recall.. Sun prevented the Hell’s Belles from destroying Sabrina.. now could it be Hell’s Belles will request the Damage Inc. to destroy Sun..
Â
example:
Sun will sit on Nikki’s Foxx shoulder, as they celebrate Sun’s being a member. then Yvonne Carmichael thumbs down on Sun. Sun was shocked. then Nikki executed back drop on Sun. Sun crashed down to the mat. Hell’s Belles arrived then con-chair-to to Sun.. hehehe!
Is Sun listening too many “Shout” by Tears for Fears..
Â
“And when you taken down your guard,
If I could change your mind, I’d really love to break your heart”
– “Shout”- Tears for fears
Â
I’m kinda disappointed I won’t be able to see ‘Ultradragon’ again..
Â
no more 630 splash.. no more high flying double team..
Â
🙁
First – your example of if damage betray sun seems rather familiar . . . *cough* evolution *cough*
Â
But on the whole, i wondered if something like this might be coming, though i had hoped i was wrong . . . ultradragon rocks! on the other hand just because sun is a damager now doesnt mean she and sabrina will stop being friends, just that sun will have to double lock her bedroom door at night. after all, im guessing shell still be sleeping in the same place in a boulding with three people she just walked out on, only one of which might not want to kick her ass, and that one might also be the first in line
What Sun did and said was wrong in my opinion, she betrayed her only true friend here, its a mistake she gonna regret later. But she is heel after all heh. Those who seed the wind will harvest the storm… Im sure Sun will be in trouble soon and regret what she did to Sabrina when she will need help or something, i hope she will receive what she deserve and understand that she is also an upstart for the best and the worse and that she need true friend, no way the Damage inc will support Sun like Sabrina did or will if they stayed friend and together. Yes she joined a powerful stable but with a hight cost and maybe that stable have something in mind that Sun didnt expect. I think that Sun deserve to be punish 😛
Sabrina is not going to join the Hell’s Belles, M.G.C., she don’t want them and the only way they want her is on a spit. As for you, Sun, I restate what I said Wednesday. Pull your head out of MeSpace and put in some effort and whatever team you’re on will be quality. However, she was dead-on about Krystin and Brooke (especially Brooke). ;) Sometimes it takes a selfish brat to identify selfish bratty behavior. I do think that what Sun’s sending around is going to come around, though, and before it’s over there’s gonna be some humiliation and reconciliation, but there’s a long ways to go before this is over.
In the meantime, I reserve the right to defer to Sun’s new crew as the Dinc’s, pronounced how it sounds.
I agree with Svan: Â Damage Inc won’t be the supportive home for Sun that the Upstart house was… despite all their problems. Â They were all rookies, starting out together and (for better or worse) have bonded through that. Â At Damage Inc, Sun is going to be the newbie, Â the outsider, and the girl who has to prove herself. Â I think she’s more comfortable being the big shot. Â However… I think that Sabrina’s faithfulness is deeper than this fight. Â I think if Sun is ever in trouble, she’ll put her hurt feelings aside and come in blazing as the calvary!
what Sun is saying may be cruel sounding but she gotta make it clear she leaving or sabrina will just try to gether to come back. since like  Day one Sun said she was looking damage inc,so what did sabrina think was gonna happen when she did get to join? the Upstarts  have never been a team so it not like she leaving anything but Sabrina to fend for herself but boo hoo sorry sabrina but she not the only one who needs to watch there own back in RA.i keep seeing people thinking Sun won’t make it after leaving the Upstarts but she was on ehr own all this time and even became CCW champion on her own so i don’t think she was fragile as people are thinking.
MGC, in addition to Brenda and Angel cameoing this page, there’s also Shannon McCourt! Â Living arrangements and team UltraDragon may need to be sorted out, but Sun and Sabrina aren’t quite done yet. Â Cookie Ogre speaks the truth about Sabrina and Hell’s Belles.
Hey RAWF! Â Glad you’re looking forward to Monday, it will not disappoint. A lot of things will need to be ironed out after this, but these two aren’t finished yet though Sabrina’s about at rock bottom about now.
Great memory, PS2kid. Â Sabrina does have her matches against Xtina and Chloe, but she has to beat Xtina before she can get to Kat. Â I like what you’re thinking though. 😉 But yeah, it’s looking like no Sun to watch her back and that’s just not good at all. With a new Upstart girl dynamic in the wind, it’ll be interesting how things shake out.
Whoa, Adon! Â That is some powerful insight and I think I may be inclined to agree with you especially about Sun’s motivations. The potential for this getting worse before it gets better is there, but objectively speaking, I don’t think Lora would write a straight doom and gloom tale, judging from her work on The Dreamer. 😉
T-M, the rookie house dynamic is probably going to see some change because of this. Â Sun and Sabrina are separated by about a half a foot, plus you’re right about Krystin and Brooke having a less opinion of their Lil Dragon roommate. Â That line might be getting long. Â I like ‘Damager’ by the way. 😀
Nicely put, Svan! Â It shows that you care about Sun and Sabrina. You have a lot of great comments that I really can’t comment on because I don’t want to spoil any upcoming plans. XD
Well put, Cookie Ogre. Â Sabrina is as likely to join Hell’s Belles as a fish will learn to ride a bike. Â What Sun is saying, while the delivery is mean, might have some merit to it which is why its stinging so much. Â Love the moniker for Damage Inc! Â DINC!
Getting ninja’d over here.
W00t for Lora! Â Anyone else notice a certain underlying current between what’s going on here and The Dreamer’s update? XD Â I’d like to say it was planned that way, but total coincidence.
Hey Jenn! Â Definitely some valid and correct points there, especially about our Lil Dragon. Â Sun has known success being the lone wolf, but I think she had more fun at least on some level having a BFF like Sabrina. Â It’s a rough business and Sun seems to be the most pragmatic about it. You never know what the future is going to hold (unless, you know, you’re writing it) but for the present, these two have a bit more left to say.
I have been a wrestling fan for a really really really really long time (almost 3 decades), I read about inside stuff, I do the thery crafting and even have a list of favorite finishers. I have seen good and bad heel turns, great and lame gimmics and heart breakers. I felt this was a little too much.. Sabrina really suck out her neck for Sun (emotionally and professionally).. its almost like Sun is upset with Sabrina for being green. I think Sun is a smart girl too, I would have liked more her distancing herself from the dead weight (krystin and brooke) but focusing on taking herself AND Sabrina to the top. We look at modern wrestling and tandums have been working better recently.. who’d cheer for a blackholes of charisma like Cody Rhodes or DiBiase jr alone? But together they are pretty awesome. Sun -will- do well with D.inc but she’ll get ditched the second she messes up. I don’t WANT Sabrina to make up with sun (as much as I loved them together) because that would justify everything Sun said about her. I also want a week of Sabrina messing up Sun’s matches.. show her how serious she can be after she makes her lose a bit :|.
This page is depressing, as it’s meant to be, but also a little strange. Lora’s dialogue for Sun doesn’t seem to fit with Sun’s previous dialogue as written by Albone…and Sun’s being too brutal about this. I know it’s to make a dramatic point, to really start the rift between the two best friends.  The old Sun would’ve said something more like, “You really BELIEVE all that bullshit about the Upstarts being a team? Let me tell you something, Sabrina…” She’s right, though, about Brooke just wanting to be a pinup girl. Kristin has been so colorless thus far as to be nonexistent. Sun does have ambition, but she’d have been better off, I feel, letting Sabrina in from the start. Remember what happened to Joan Rivers when she didn’t ask Johnny Carson first if he’d object to her hosting a talk show?Â
And I guess Sabrina’s going to get a sad wakeup call. If she wants to get ahead, she’ll have to rely on herself. “Ain’t no one can walk it with you, you got to walk it all alone.”
Those closed fists in the first frame are the key, in my mind anyway. The gloves are off. And you can see no punches are being pulled on the verbal or physical front.
Now we all know the back scene stuff (or so we think. the boss is cunning!) But not everyone else there knows it. For sure Sab doesn’t. This isn’t just a surprise to her but a low blow. That must be why Jenn likes it LoL
Thanks for the plug boss! Now get me some air time and I’ll come cook you dinner 😀
Sun’s basically writing a check that her butt probably won’t be able to cash.
Honestly a while back when you had us think Sun was hitting Sabrina with the chair might have been the more dramatic move. This wasn’t as surprising or showing as much an impact, although obviously it shocked Brina.
I kind of agree with DarkMark, because this didn’t feel consistent with what we’ve seen of Sun so far.
Damage Inc wont be supportive at first, but i wouldnt rule them out straight away. If you turn your back on everyone in your army you leave alot of guns pointing at you, they need to keep their stable members happy and that means that they help them when they need it, even if only once you earn the right to that help.
Â
I have a feeling that theres a reason Sun is doing this the way she is . . . perhaps the little dragon is making the fact that shes leaving the upstarts easier on brina by being a bit of a b**ch about it while also warning her that maybe it would be best to jump ship too before shes in too deep. Lets be fair, krys and brooke havent ever been great friends to her, they tried to end her career, and practically her life! maybe sun is doing whats best for her AND for sabrina at the same time . . .
Wow, Drew! Â You’re a serious fan, so I know you’re into this story between Sun and Sabrina. Â I think Sun would have loved for Sabrina to be a part of Damage Inc, and I think Damage Inc would take Sabrina (considering her push) but I don’t think Sabrina would’ve gone for it. Â You’re not the only one who thinks they’re awesome together, so you’re in good company. Â Sabrina messing with Sun and her matches? Â Interesting….
Hey Darkmark! Â Sometimes the worst fights are with your best friends and I think that’s what we’re seeing her. Â Sun’s laying it on but part of that is guilt for not telling Brina about Damage Inc and partly because she wants what’s best for her. It’s also why she let loose and laid into her other roommates! Â Hard lessons!
Champ! The gloves are off figuratively and literally! Â Glad you caught that little bit of storytelling there. XD Â Low blow, well put. Â Its taken all of the fight out of Sabrina. Â More air time? Â I believe there’s this contract signing between you and Black Widow at the next Monday Night Meltdown….
Picky, she is in control, but there is a question of what happens next.
Ken, I have to say that I was totally blown away when readers thought that Sun whooloped Sabrina with the chair. Â In hindsight, I probably would’ve played that a bit differently. Â Hopefully, the point gets across in Brina’s crestfallen expression in the last panel.
also drew the thing is that sabrina wouldnt mess with suns matches out of spite, its not in her nature . . . it would be like Undertaker walking into the middle of the ring and handing out roses (which i now really want to see 😛 )
Ninja’d again!!
Wow T-M, that is very cool! Â Trying to help them both out, I like that. Â Probably something to that, though I don’t think that is much relief for Sabrina. Â We know that Sun doesn’t hate Sabrina, despite what we’ve seen, but again not much comfort for Sabrina right now.
Dude, Mark (undertaker) had brad and joline over at his ranch in texas maybe he does LOVE roses ;). I just see a “tough enough for you know sun” story line.. bring the fight to Sun.. yea I know its not in sabrina, I read every issue up to like 2 weeks ago in a day. The business is rough when you don’t have someone with your back (ask anyone besides rey mystero who’s under 200lbs if knowing someone in the wwe helps) and sabrina needs a partner… and I really really liked her and Sun. I do agree darkmack.. that just didn’t feel like Sun at all to me.
I hypothesized Sun would join Damage, Inc. I just keep the majority of my hypotheses (Yes, that is the correct spelling for the plural of hypothesis. Look it up) to myself. I do put this one out, though: I do hypothesize that Sun does join Damage, Inc. but after a time, she finds they’re not nearly as supportive as she knew Sabrina was, probably is still willing to be.
In all honesty, I am a bit let down in the way she broke it to Sabrina. Sure, it’s powerful, and if I ever achieve my dream, I’m going to be making such shocking revelations in a way readers don’t like, but this… this is not Sun. This is not the Sun I’ve come to like, and despite this will continue to. IMO, Lora killed Sun right here. She could have done this any other way, yet chose this? Bad move, IMO.
Sun has to at least seem to cut her ties with brina if shes going to be a Damager though, how many factions can you really be a part of? the more divided your loyalties are, the less loyalty youre going to earn from people like the higher ups of Damage Inc. With people like that you have to give to ger. So far sun has given, and she has received. but shes still gotta give alot more before shes going to start getting any breadcrumbs. i think that this is just her way of showing them that shes 110% commited to them
Â
On the other hand, i agree that the way this is written is a) not how i would like and b) not quite sunshine
Hey Drew!  Undertaker rolls in some strange circles, eh?  lol  Glad you caught up so quick, that’s always awesome to read.  As far as Sun’s dialogue, I think she’s releasing a lot of pent up frustration, guilt and anger and its unfortunate that Sabrina is in her path.  But, they do say that best friends always fight with each other the hardest.
Yeah Tarrasque!! Â That is a good hypothesis with Sun’s future in Damage Inc. Â As for Sun, she’s letting loose a lot of guilt and frustration and maybe a bit of animosity. Â She used to be a champion! Â And she’s got a roommate like Brooke. Â That doesn’t make it right, in fact, that’s what makes this so wrong.
T-M, I liked what you said before that Sun is going all out in bitch mode to make a cleaner break with Sabrina because anything else is going to be just messy. Â You can’t belong to several factions and get anywhere, so it makes sense especially to a pragmatist like Sun.
I’m a little shocked at everyone’s reaction to Sun’s actions or her wish to leave the Upstarts than I am about what she has done. Maybe her knocking some of that rookie overconfidence out of Sabrina is her way of trying to help her and soften the blow of her leaving them combined with some guilt and all, but does no one remember her admitting before that she wanted to join Damage Inc? From the start I have not seen these girls as a team, just a group thrown together via The Real World (not really but you get my drift). Everyone was already going their separate ways from the start.
Yeah Sun and Sabrina have been good friends out of the ring, but in the ring I think it needs more work.
im with chihuahua here, they were put together and made the best of it, and S&S even managed to become great friends but that doesnt make you a team. it makes you people that live together. youre not on the same team as everyone in you block of flats or college dorm are you?
Â
sun said from the get go she wanted to be a damager, brina cant hold that against her
yeah but Sun and Sabrina was best friends and also a team with the ”Ultra-Dragon” team. And sun lyed ot her best friend to accomplish her goal and betrayed her, and then she just come and get mad at her friend just like that, trowing everything at her and saying she is not alright… Some things Sun said is true but its not an excuse for what she done. Ah btw Albone and Lora, i saw the banner in the Dreamer homepage, with Sun and Brina in the photo room where its write best friend ^^ was pretty cool
having an ally in something like RA is good, but when it comes down to it, you have to care about yourself first. If they both got a title shot, do you think that they would go easy on each other? no, theyd do everything they could to win. or at least sun would, and if brina didnt then she might as well not have shown up to the match because she wouldnt be leaving a champion
