You think Sabrina and Sun are going to help out Angel after they’re done posing? 😛 Fighting off Hell’s Belles was a drop in the bucket compared to what they have to do next: Talking. Last time they talked, they were in the ring and things got a little hot and a little out of hand. Will history repeat itself?
And now Yvonne has to make a decision concerning their new member. Any thoughts on which way she’ll lean?
The Webcomics List Awards were handed out yesterday. Rival Angels was nominated for Best Comic, Best Longform Comic and Best Character (Sabrina) but we got froze out. It really was an honor to be listed among such luminaries like Dr. McNinja and Questionable Content so thanks to everyone who nominated us in the first place. Thanks to Wendy and everyone that went into making a really fun and lively award presentation. 🙂

It’s no secret that Sun and Sabrina have a lot to talk about but there was talk about a certain contract signing. Vote to check out a preview of Wednesday’s update.
Ah that is a look of a true Machiavellian stable leader, whatever Yvonne decides its not going to be good, perhaps a team building beating to teach teamwork. Like the posing, poor Angel she is gonna be there awhile lol
Okay, awesome pose. I can honestly say I did not expect that. I was braced for anything but that. I can also honestly say that I don’t like that look on Yvonne’s face, Boney.
I can almost guarantee that in the real world of professional wrestling, whatever she’s thinking is more likely to have the opposite effect than the intended lesson. Read: team beating of seeming deserter =/= sudden full team member. No, you beat someone up for apparent desertion, they’re probably going to truly desert and seek as many allies as necessary for revenge. Not a universal truth, but I’ve seen it happen enough to know better than whatever it is that Yvonne might be thinking.
Unless she intends to invite Sabrina to join Damage Inc., then who knows what would happen? I simultaneously love and hate you for things like this, Boney.
less chat here…
I don’t think… Sun and Sabrina will help Angel Soprano..Sabrina and Sun aren’t friendly when it comes to heels..
Yvonne.. hmmm! Yvonne could cash out a favor from the hell’s belles, like in episode 166.. Chloe set up a meeting with Yvonne reguarding the Yorks.. now I think Yvonne setting a meeting with Chloe..
or containing Sun..Yvonne could place a drug on Sun drink, whenever Sabrina have a match.. so Sun will fall a sleep and could run away.. ehehe!!

YEAH!! A teaser on ‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua… The Champ is Here!!
Option b) it was! Strike a pose! With pyrotechnics and hair blowing dramatically in the wind! Yeah, that works.
(Hang in there, Angel. Heh.)
Yvonne will keep Sun on the team, because Yvonne’s a smart cookie. If Sun remains in Damage Inc, then Yvonne can continue to make use of her. If Sabrina’s BFF is in Damage Inc, then Yvonne might be able to compensate for Sabrina in her own schemes, at the very least by asking Sun “Hey, what would Blondie do if this happens?”. Maybe Sun won’t be reliable as a die-hard D’inc’er til the end, but she’s still a useful tool. Why get mad at a claw hammer for not being a sledge or a pair of pliers? On the other hand, if she kicked Sun out now she’d lose a useful tool and gain two enemies. Not a good bargain.

“Spread your wings, Angel!”   XD
Clearly, that look on Yvonne announces nothing good for our heroines. I’m still worried about Chloe’s reaction to this humiliation – nothing good either. Will Yvonne and Chloe work together to get revenge against Sun and Sabrina?
And I’m also worried about Sabrina’s elbow. Will it hold?
Â
Sorry to hear about the awards. But you did great to get there! And you’ve got momentum for next time! Woot!
Wonderful art here, boss. Yummmy for sure!
i’m with Cookie here. i’ve been on the “use Sun to bring in Brina” scenario for a while now and Yvonne hasn;t done anything to let me down there yet.
poor Angel “Hell’s Belles”. i’m half expecting the next people out there to accidently step on her fingers during their enterance pose and send her plummeting down to the floor. on the other hand you have to admire Angel’s finger strength to be able to hold herself up for this long. maybe she should think about using the Von Erich Iron claw for a finisher with a grip like that.
Please tell me someone gets Angel before she dies. I think she’s been humiliated enough. As for the Sun/Sabrina reunion. Awesome! But this twist from Damage Inc. was unexpected. I hope they give Sun some time to adjust to the idea of being on their team before they kick her out, but part of me wants her back on the Upstarts, too.
I don’t like the evil look / smirk in that last panel… dun dun dunnnnn…. There be a storm a brewin’ I tells you what now… and not a good one. We’ve gots ourselves a hurricana comin’ this way… mark my words… Hurricana of Pain and betrayal…
Great to see my two favs back together again :D, Too bad they didn’t do the all of the above that was suggested in the last page 🙂
hmmm!!
Cookie Ogre, got a nice angle..
but Sun will be out, and gain two enemies..
Hell’s Belles don’t like Sun.. now if they kept Sun in.. they’ll have Hell’s Belles as their enemy.. gain more dangerous enemy..
Jabberwocky, that look of Yvonne’s says it all, eh? We know Nikki and Kyra aren’t thrilled. I do believe that whatever Yvonne has planned, ‘teamwork’ will be the end goal.
Heh, Tarresque. Glad that I was able to surprise you with the the Sun/Sabrina pose but the hard part with them is still coming. Obviously, Yvonne is going to have a response to this. Damage Inc was in her corner for her match with Josephine and then she’s out mixing it up with the Belles on Sabrina’s behalf. Will Yvonne’s punishment fit Sun’s crime?
MGC, you are correct, the champ is here!! XD  Yvonne does business with Chloe but she doesn’t like to because Chloe has shown to be unstable and unreliable. After all, Chloe did not live up to her end of the bargain when it came to the Belles beating up the Yorks but leaving Sabrina alone. Yvonne drugging Sun is something she could do but she prefers a more direct approach. 😉
alurker, I always have to be careful with how I respond because I don’t ever want to ruin the surprise especially with crafty readers like yourself. XD Angel should be okay.
Cookie Ogre, if there’s anyone that is qualified to spot a ‘smart cookie,’ it’s you and I think you’re on the money here. Maybe. Â Yvonne will have a very measured response to this. And Yvonne doesn’t have to have Sabrina in the fold to take advantage of her, but that would be a pretty nice addition, especially since Chloe failed to recruit Sabrina.
Jul, you ask some very good questions here and I’m happy to say that every one of them will be answered in time. The training staff are very good at Rival Angels so they’ll be sure to patch up that bum elbow of Sabrina’s. Chloe and Yvonne have worked together in the past but they don’t make a habit of it. Sun and Sabrina may be the problem that gets them on the right page though.
Hey Champ, better luck next year, eh? And thanks!!!
jpiv, it wouldn’t be crazy to think that recruiting Sabrina is a possibility for Yvonne and company. I’m glad that Yvonne hasn’t disappointed and hopefully that trend will continue.
Hey Lora! No worries, Angel’s ordeal is over and she’ll be safe and sound though a tad bit shakey. But, just like Sun will have to face Yvonne, Angel will have a similar meeting with Chloe. Yvonne’s plan for Sun will be revealed soon, but we have the Sun/Sabrina talk to come. Maybe Sun will be back with the Upstarts? Though who’s to say how Krystin and Brooke would react to that. O_o
Ninja’d by Kurt and MGC!
Kurt, I like the ‘Hurricana of Pain.’ XD Sun and Sabrina messing with Angel some more might’ve been a bit too much but you never know for next time. The big question is what Yvonne is thinking and I think just like Nikki and Kyra, everyone’s going to be wondering what she’s got coming.
It occurs to me I forgot to comment on the last update. Oops, hehe. Don’t worry Angel, a few more seconds of posing and you’ll be well in hand. But yeah, it’s great to see Ultradragon back together again pending the talk Sabrina and Sun are bound to have (hopefully that talk includes them deciding they should become a trio with Krystin collectively known as Ultradragontech). As far as the Damage Inc. situation, Yvonne’s supervillain last panel shows she clearly has plans for Sun that are much more complex than simply letting her stay or kicking her out.
But before all that, we have a contract signing to get through, and contract signings in wrestling are usually nowhere near as mundane as in other places, so here’s looking forward to finally catching a glimpse of the champ and the number one contender.
Well it’s obvious to me Damage Inc. doesn’t control Damage Inc. Its like when Stephanie McMahon ran the ECW screw all those years ago when the company still had meaning…*sigh* But I digress. It’s shown now that the reason Sun and Sabrina were separated in the first place was the evil cunning plan of the owner of the federation. Probably looking to cause drama and boost TV ratings. Now she realizes the bond between the two girls isn’t broken so easily so I kinda fear what her next drastic move will be. Good stuff and nice cliff hanger to Wednesday. Sorry to hear about the awards I checked out the other comics nominated for best comic and I really think you should have won. Sorry man.
Hey Chris! Yeah, Sun, Krystin and Sabrina would make quite the team. That is, as soon as the swelling comes down on Krystin’s jaw. 😛  I would say that you’re on the money as far as the complexity of Yvonne’s plans. This might be really new stuff for Sun but Yvonne’s seen a lot of stuff in her time. Yes, contract signing!  We’ll get our first look at Black Widow too!
RAWF, interesting theory. Totally in line with how Gabrielle operates and Yvonne would craft out a worthwhile arrangement. It does show that Sabrina and Sun are more than just superficial friends though they’re upcoming talk is going to be tough for both of them so it’s undecided where they’ll land. Thanks for checking out the Awards page. It was great just to be a part of it. 🙂
Sorry about the awards – but out of about 2,000 some comics, you made it into the top 5 – that’s damn good! Â Besides, you still have us. Â Umm, you want we should take the boys over and show our new friends how to do a figure four?
Â
Is there any reason that Sabrina couldn’t be invited into D’inks [shamelessly copied from Cookie Ogre]? Â If not, then the D’ink captain is probably planning a test for Sun, one that will ultimately betray Sabrina and cement Sun to Damaged Inc forever!! Â Mahh haa haa haa! Â But then again, she might just Brooke herself and get kicking out of wrestling…
That’s a great way to put it into perspective, GhostEraser. No need to rough no one up. We’ll do better next time. XD Â There’s no official reason why Sabrina couldn’t be invited. Would Yvonne like Sabrina in Damage Inc? Â I guess that’s the real question!!
I totally marked out for the D-Generation X tribute Ultradragon have going on there.
Â
Just sayin’
Yes! Sabrina should join Damage Inc! And to celebrate her joining, they should all go ice skating! Then they can all be rinky-D’inks! Or they can draw designs on this special kind of plastic and put it in the oven, and…. I’ll let someone else complete the bad joke. 😉
Would that be considered a nod to the DX pose or more of a nod to the pose Diesel and Shawn Michaels used to do?
Pete, I’m glad you liked the tribute. If anyone deserves a ‘pose,’ it’s these two. XD Though if they ever get a third girl in there, they’ll have to do the Scott Hall pose. XD
Cookie Ogre, well Sabrina has the look for Damage Inc, but I don’t know that she has the heart for the games that they play. LOL @ rinky d’incs. 😛
Chris, definitely got the pre-DX Diesel/HBK look going on there. I knew it’d be weird to have Sun doing the double bicep pose so she’s channeling a little bit of Gail Kim. XD
They can’t be friends AND be on different teams? This is like high school all over again…. 😛
That said, I’m glad that Sun and Sabrina didn’t stay mad at each other.
Trevor, Sun and Sabrina seem like they’re going to be BFF’s but the real question is what Damage Inc has to say about Sun going out and helping Sabrina when it’s not on the Damagers agenda. Yvonne’s going to have a response for Sun and it might affect her relationship with Sabrina.
