Page 290 – Hurricanrana
Sun’s making a comeback! Franchesca took a little too long getting to the top rope and paid the price with a top rope Hurricanrana! With the playing field leveled a little bit, maybe Sun capitalize and build some momentum and win this match. She’s certainly keen on impressing her new wrestling stable, Damage Inc. For a heel stable, they’ve been pretty quiet, eh? Not quiet is the crowd and Sabrina who are very vocal in their support for Sun. Some hope for some reconciliation between Sun and Sabrina after all?
Take a look at what a top rope Hurricanara looks like with the youtube clip below:

I really have to question panel 2: Francesca York, going to the top turnbuckle.. I don’t know, she’s a high flyer or not.. but really not on her zone.. Francesca York now underestimating Sun, in which she made a huge mistake.. a mistake like Sun did..{earlier in the match}
moving the rope, is one simple move but deadly to an standing on the top turnbuckle. I don’t know if it’s true.. if it’s a catgirl on the top turnbuckle, I think, that won’t work.. Catgirls are excellent in balancing.. hehe!!
Sun executed top rope hurricanranna..
What’s it called?
a. “Raising Sun”
b. “Raising Dragon” (Shoryu)
c. “Sun Raise”
I’m happy for Sun.. but still York for the win… eheheh!!
now I wonder, Josephine will get in? I wonder if they’ll re-switch again? and maybe the Damage Inc will interfere..
Jeff Crew said “Time out! call a time out!”
why comment that! piff! Jeff can just throw in a white towel.. ehhehe!! Bob Bucklund.. hehe!!
Heya. Nice manoeuver from Sun 😛 Now im thrill to see if she gonna win. I think the York sister didnt use all their things yet and that match not finish
I like the sequence. It’s a nice come-back for Sun. And all the expressions are to die for!
Fran’s er i mean Josephine’s “this can’t be happening to me” in panel 5 is priceless. Jeff was even concerned enough to call Fran “fran” in panel 4, what kind of heel announcer is that? stick to your lie Jeff, it’s a rule. and we again catch a glimpse of Brina hard at work preparing for her own upcoming match ;P
The video makes it look very painful. Thanks for the reference. Sun’s a tough cookie and won’t go down without a fight.
Careful about going into the high country, little Yorkie, thar be (Lil) Dragons…
MGC, you got it about Fran. She got cocky and underestimated Sun. Definitely more to come with this match, so we’ll see if there’s another switch, if Damage Inc gets involved or if Sabrina comes to make the save! Jeff, he’s just being Jeff. XD
Svan, more to come with this match and maybe a surprise or two still. 😉
Hey Champ! I caught wind that you weren’t feeling well, so I hope you get better soon. Glad you liked the page!
jpiv, yeah Jeff is doing his best to keep his composure but sometimes he’s just overwhelmed. Marina is doing her best to get Sabrina focused for her match but that girl can be stubborn.
Trevor, I’m glad you dug the youtube clip. I find it helps illustrate what’s going on. Sun is showing that tenacity that made her a champ in the developmental league. It’s just a matter of if she can overcome the odds or not.
LOL Cookie Ogre! Lil Dragons BITE!!!
Sabrina comes to make the save!
I like that Albone… the problem is.. Damage Inc.. Damage Inc, specially Kyra Gold.. Damage Inc might destroy Sabrina.. then Sun get destructed and gave the York Sisters the opportunity and double team finisher on Sun. then 1………2…….3.. Damage Inc released that Sun lose.. then Damage Inc will get mad at Sun..
Man, that would be really bad for everyone, except the York Sisters. Nice thinking there. 😉
Haven’t had Internet for almost a month so I’m just catching up. I’ve missed a lot, hehe. I get the image that Sun didn’t even climb the ropes to pull off that Frankensteiner, she just jumped straight up. I realize that, for the height she reached in panel 4, that’s probably not the case, but I imagine Sun is just that awesome, hehe.
So, Albone, will I be seeing you at the Eagle’s Room for Shimmer this Sunday?
Great match. Great work presenting it too. Love the looks and the traditions showing up.
Traditions one might ask? Especially one that only thinks high impact moves and quick ends like some fans seem to have been trained to by modern TV matches…. Let’s start at the top, shall we?
1: Tough little guy. Okay, Sun isn’t exactly a guy, but how often does the small wrestler get hit by something that should have knocked them out totally and still, somehow, kick out? Rey Rey makes a career on that one tradition, but it’s been around a lot longer than he has been. Superstar Bill Dundee used to do it against Jerry Lawler, as well as when tagged with Lawler. This tradition regularly leads to number two also…
2: Top Rope Flubs. The guy that seldom goes to the top rope tries it and flubs. Either he misses (Kurt Angle, master of the moonsault bellyflop) or he gets shaken off the ropes. The second is more fun, but less seen. Thank you Sun for bringing that one into play. Shawn Michaels was really good for getting the ropes shaken on him and selling the crotch first landing. Well… until he got his foot tangled against Razor Ramone in the ladder match. He didn’t seem to do it as often after that loss.
3: Heel Announcer Slips. Another fun one. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon were masters of it. The Brain would say something wrong, Gorilla would call him on it, Heenan would say he said something different and confuse the issue until Gorilla got flustered.
4: Top Rope Hurricanrana. A staple in speed wrestlers recovering from a big assault. A larger wrestler does a superplex in the same situation.
Now… if the traditions continue, Fran should roll with the landing and fly right under the bottom rope to try and swap back. Do we finally see Damage Inc make their move if this happens? Guess we’ll see Friday.
Wait… this is Albone’s comic… got to tease it Friday and see Monday. 😉 Not that I’d expect a tease on Friday from ya or anything. 😀
Hey Chris! Glad that you caught up, but no worries. We’re open 24/7. Heh, I was definitely suggesting that Sun one hopped the super frankensteiner but physics probably says otherwise. XD Yeah I’ll be at Shimmer this weekend! I’m on the side where the wrestlers come out. If you are in the front row, you’ll get a free Rival Angels giveaway. 😉
Right on, Salazen! Way to bring up Dundee and Lawler! I think we can credit them with having one of the very first hardcore matches. 😛 Great breakdown and recap and you know I’m a fan of old school wrestling storytelling. You really nailed them all. I do have to confess I’m playing Jeff a tad more straight man here because I’m trying to keep readers from being confused. LOL, maybe a tease on Friday with something to come on Monday. XD Maybe another Sabrina sighting?
Yeah I like the giant vertical leap idea, and thats how it played out in my mind. Sun is alway giving out crotch truama, first on Kristin, now on Fran, Suns needs some Crotch Karma. In any case, I do love all the high flying, being a huge Michaels fan. Storylinewise, Sabrina is really enjoying Suns great momentum shift, and bad ass Super Frakensteiner. Good job at illustrating the moves, Albone.
Okay, the review I mentioned last week is posted in the forums. Thank you for not throwing pointy objects! ::sets out a plate of cookies for everyone::
Unfortunately no front row for me, I’m just a lowly general admission ticket holder. No way I can cheat the system and get Rival Angels swag anyway, is there? Hehe.
For someone that is still sore at Sun, it looks like Sabrina is still cheering for her. 🙂 But, we haven’t seen where the other York Sister is and the legal one in the match to boot. My guess is she’ll come in and attack Sun when she isn’t looking.
So much for strength in numbers with Damage Inc. doing squat this match on the outside to run interference. Not that I condone that or anything 😉
Thanks Rorshach! Glad you are enjoying the match and the behind the scenes stuff with Sabrina.
Awesome Cookie Ogre! Anyone who likes RPG should check out his review here. Great use of Conan and Rival Angels quotes. 🙂
Chris, being in front row, the Mrs and I get a Rival Angels comic giveaway. Seeing as I already have one, you can have mine. 🙂 As for right now, the Rival Angels graphic novel should be on sale at one of the tables too. 😀
Kurt, she’s definitely cheering Sun on. They might’ve had a chance to reconcile if it weren’t for the timely interruption from Kyra back in the locker room. Josie York is still lurking outside and so is Damage Inc. As far as why Damage Inc hasn’t been involved, I believe that question gets asked by a certain someone tomorrow. 😉
