Page 315 – Sun
Happy New Year!! I hope it’s the best year ever. 🙂
You think Sun wants to go out there and support Sabrina on in person? She’s obviously emotionally invested in the match, which Yvonne has taken notice of. Just like Marina with Sabrina, Yvonne’s doing her best to keep the young rookie in check. And just like Sabirna and Marina, Sun is playing off the importance of this match to her. What do you think the other girls in panel 1 are saying? 😉
Back in the ring, Sabrina hasn’t recovered from Xtina’s illegal blow and is barely in it. Xtina’s eating it up *just* a little bit and exacting a bit of verbal revenge for Sabrina’s earlier onslaught. Xtina likes to talk and get in her opponent’s head and with Sabrina’s rage-y state of mind, it could mean the end for Sabrina’s evening.
I would highly advise against the trash talking against Sabrina here. She was already fired up by it before now doing it to her face probably isn’t the smartest move. There’s still fight in the blonde yet, I can feel it.
I disagree. Inciting your opponent can lead to Sabrina getting too emotional and making mistakes. This is a perfect time to start getting into it since Sabrina is still recuperating.
Sabrina does not seem to be able to control her emotions and probably can be goaded into trying to take the offensive while in a fundamentally bad spot.
Of course, since Sabrina is the main character of Rival Angels it is most likely she’ll win.
I suddenly get the feeling that Sun’s going to run out to ringside to support Sabrina and Sabrina is going to be inspired to win. How likely that is, I dunno, but I just get the feeling that is what’s going to happen, which would be a pretty nice dramatic event and all the Ultradragon fans might be able to rejoice. But I guess we’ll see, hehe.
I don’t see how Sabrina can realistically recover from Xtina cheating. I think Xtina should have been DQ’d, not just warned.
Xtina shouldn’t get too cocky. Both of these ladies haven’t exactly been right, proper faces. The psychological taunting may goad ‘brina into doing something stupid but take advantage of that neck; you risked the DQ to open up that avenue, make sure you use it.
What do you think the other girls in panel 1 are saying?
(Let Guess)
Nikki Foxx: Sabrina is about to get the pounding.. too bad she’s not one of us.
Kyra Gold: Sabrina isn’t in your level you know.. you know that Nikki..
(hmmm!)
Panel 1-3: Yvonne Carmichael.. ‘Queen Damager’ has her different approached towards to her stable.. like here, Sun is cheering Sabrina. even Yvonne don’t like Sabrina, she try to tent or go Sun’s level of likeness and study it.. being friendly..
That’s made them differ from the Hell’s Belles.. and also the party status.. Damage Inc like party socially, while Hell’s Belles party privately..Â
🙂
Panel 4: pap?
Albone, don’t that this wrong but.. is Xtina bit fat? since the art improvement, and got more detailed to the past episodes.. ah?
and the crowd cheered Sa-bri-na!
Do Xtina mind they crowd cheering for Sabrina?
i think Kyra and nikki are probably both a bit surprised that Sun still has such strong ties to Sabrina despite their(well Kyra’s)Â best efforts to date to put a wedge between them. Yvonne did manage to put a bit of a damper on Sun’s enthusiasm pretty quickly despite not saying anything against Sabrina which would cause Sun to jump to her defense.
Brina’s puny blows seem to be no match for Xtina’s new endorsement  contract- the abs of steel. i think trash talking seems to be part of Xtina’s general MO no matter who she’s up against. Plus as we’ve seen with Marina, if you say stuff against Brina herself shell fall for it hook line and sinker most of the time. it’s only when the “S” word is mentioned that Brina goes all Hulk Smash. so as long as Xtina keeps insulting Brina herself the tactic should work for a while.
this match isn;t over by a longshot. Brina’s already showing signs of recovery even though the body’s not quite working on all cylinders yet. So a traditional pinfall’s already out of the question. Xtina will need to either wear Sabrina back down again if she’s looking for a cover, or try for a submission. But a vet like Xtina should know she needs to do some more work before she goes that route as well. (despite the growing tendency these days to throw in a submission out of nowhere aka Cena and the STF  instead of working a body part for a good chunk of the match before going for it aka Ric Flair and the figure 4). in either case this match will go past at least next week still i’m pretty sure.
Happy New Years!
RAWF and Picky: As you guys have probably picked up on, Xtina likes submissions, hairpulling and trash talking. Â I think the trash talking could have either effect that you guys have brought up but Sabrina’s too weak to really do anything about that currently, and Xtina knows it. Hence, the tiny bit of arrogance coming from our Canadian Dynamite.
Chris, there are many that are calling for the reunion of UltraDragon! XD I think Yvonne senses the same thing you do about Sun and that’s why she’s casually trying to diffuse those intentions. Will it work?
GhostEraser, it’s pretty grim. The damage is done, Xtina’s on top. Xtina will keep her trash talking but she’s done playing with Sabrina.
Picky, that is sound advice for Xtina, and you’re about to see her plan unfold starting Monday. She’s a submissions expert. 😉
LOL, MGC! Yeah, that’s probably what Nikki and Kyra are saying. 😛 You have caught some of the big differences between Hell’s Belles and Damage Inc and between Yvonne and Chloe, which makes me happy. Xtina fat? No, she’s bigger than Sabrina but not fat.
Hey jpiv! Good read on the Damage girls. They can’t believe Sun’s still supporting her ‘ex’ BFF, especially since Damage girls are close. And great catch that no one is actually saying anything out loud against Sabrina. Yeah, Sabrina’s running on fumes and could use a visit from the Shell Answer man. Xtina has caught on quick to what makes Sabrina tick emotionally and expect her to captialize on all of that. You guys are going to find out a lot about Xtina Carptenter and what makes her tick. Expect to see why Xtina is a submissions expert with the next update as she tries to break Sabrina down body and soul. More wrestling action to come!!
Development? That’s low!
Happy new year everyone!
Happy New Year and Hangover day! Things are really looking bad for Sabrina right now, especially against a vet, but this taunting might get into Sabrina’s head but is Xtina is not careful she might push her to far. Also this slow method of breaking down Sabrina might give her a little time to recover, I am not counting Sabrina out just yet. Sun is really failing at hiding her emotions from Damage Inc. that can’t be good for her in long run. I really can’t wait for Monday >.< go go time machine.
Hey Champ! Yeah, Xtina is just mean. Happy New Year!
Happy hangover, jabberwocky! Xtina is going to work and she’s intent on showing why she’s one of the best and deserves to be in the finals for the TV Championship. You make a good point that the longer she keeps Sabrina in this match, the greater the risk that she could make a comeback. The thing about Su is that there are certain things that she refuses to be bashful about and Sabrina is on of them. After you come back from the time machine, hook me up with some lotto numbers. LOL
Oh come on! You can’t kick a person when they are down. Hasn’t soccer, UFC/clones shown us that you always use knees, it’s easier to deal with a knee shot and causes more damage… But shoes with thick soles and a few inches of heel work out well too…
Â
Carry on then 😛 If anything any type of shot to the head, rabbit punch or otherwise will leave you dazed and confused and not in a good 70’s way at that… The Ref may have to call a stop to the fight and I guess Zach is going to interfere and cause Xtina to lose because of illegal moves like the boot to the chest / face…
Â
Sigh, ref’s these days they are so un-biased 😉
Happy New years all!!!!
Im back from vacation 😛
Great match! Brina must WIN!! Im sure she going to do summin and get some strenght back. 😛 Xtina deserve to be punish to be that mean… Development!!?? pufff Brina will be the next champ and she is way better than her! 😛
Wow, after that whole speech about how Sabrina was too trusting and Sun was only out for herself, she still obviously cares about Brina. I wonder how her Damage, Inc. buddies really feel about that.
Â
Sabrina is getting beat down pretty bad here, lets see if she can get her second win and make one of those babyface comebacks. Maybe she’ll even hulk up, haha. Or if Sun came out and cheered on Brina, maybe that would get her to regroup like Chris said.
Great episode! The dialogue is very sound with Sun still showing support for Sabrina even after their fight. I’m certainly looking forward to how things develop between Sabrina and Sun later in the story. Will we see a great feud followed by a heartfelt reunion? Only time, and Albone, will tell. Terrific job! Happy New Year!
Well, I don’t see *how* Sabrina’s going to come back from this one. I’d get out of the ring for 20 seconds if I could, but she may be too dazed for that. Hope you have a DQ in store for Xtina, but I dunno.
Kurt, you bring up a good point about knee strikes. Those things will knock you into next week! I don’t know that Zach will call the fight, well, he will if he has to but he’s going to give them some leeway. Xtina will have to be x-tra tricky if she wants to sneak in any more questionable tactics, but with the upper hand, she won’t have to.
Happy New Year Svan! Glad to have you back. Well, Sabrina and Sun agree with your ‘winning’ assessment . XD Yeah, Xtina was being mean with that ‘developmental’ crack. She likes to get in her opponent’s head. Â Sabrina the next champ? Â That’d be pretty cool, eh? XD
Ken, the truth comes out and Sun can’t help but cheer on Sabrina! I’m sure Damage Inc won’t have too many issues with it as long as it doesn’t get in the way of Damage business. Of course, individually the Damage girls might have different opinions. Don’t expect Sabrina to hulk up, like ever, but if Xtina keeps goofing around she might regret it. Sun coming out would probably work. 😉
Hey Caimaru! Â Sun’s still in Sabrina’s corner so that’s a good sign for their friendship to recover. I can’t say if Sun and Sabrina will feud but you have to think eventually everyone will have to face off with everyone. Happy New Year!
Darkmark, she might not! Â I mean, she’s already got a match at the PPV against Chloe so her win here is not assured. Good plan for Sabrina to roll out of the ring, but Xtina would probably go out after her and beat her up like Sabrina did to Xtina earlier in the match. Hmmmm….
Xtina’s a submission wrestler? Oh my, I may have found another gal to cheer for!
Offering a slightly different take on it…
Â
This match has actually been kind of disturbing to see, not quite on the same level of the falling out between Sabrina and Sun, but close. It’s also a whole chicken and egg thing… would Xtina be fighting as dirty as she is now if Sabrina hadn’t come in using unusually aggressive tactics? She was expecting a straightforward, clean match before Sabrina made it clear it wasn’t going to be like that. And in turn, Sabrina’s rage is coming from the exaggerations that Marina made regarding Xtina and what she actually said. And of course, now Xtina is feeling justified in using those low blows, making Sabrina in turn feel justified in her accusations. To be fair, Sabrina DID need to focus, but the push Marina gave her seems to have crossed a line, and Sabrina is essentially taking it out on someone who didn’t deserve it.
Â
I know it’s wrestling, and in a singles tournament everyone is out for themselves, but it is kind of offputting to see people maniupulated into fighting dirty where they wouldn’t if left on their own. Though I’m also in the apparently small school of thought that you can be competitive and focussed without hating your opponent.
Picky, Xtina will be happy to have you cheering for her. 😀
Adon, you have picked up on the very heart of what this match has become. This isn’t the match that it should’ve/could’ve been and goes to show you that things don’t always go according to plan. It really is a vicious circle and as my co-writer, Justin has pointed out, win-lose-or draw, these two interacting after the match should be interesting. Sabrina was manipulated to an extent by Marina. The question remains if Sabrina will figure that out what she’ll do about it.
