Seems the tag match is evenly matched! Any predictions on who’s winning this one?
It also seems that while the crowd may be hostile towards Sabrina, she’s still got some big fans. What could that sneaky, little ninja, Sun be up to? XD

Well it looks like the light bulb finally turned on for Brooke concerning that who focus thing lol. The tag match is interesting, if the yorks can keep the switch a woo going then i am giving them the edge. I am not sure what Sun is planing, maybe a revenge hug for those “attacks by Sabrian, but it should be funny at least. I wonder if Jen is banned from being there in the lockroom or ring side for Kat cause that could be a factor in the match, plus is Marian going to be ring side can’t wait to see.
I like those two tag team.. so it’s anybodies match..
I like Vanessa Holiday. coz she’s a cosplayer.. goodthing, Rival Angels didn’t made her a lousy cosplay.. like in WWE made Charlie Haas..
Panel 2: I really like Jeff comment there.. buys Brandy’s farm and turn it into a high raise condominium.. not a heelish comment.. but good..
Jeff could also make a heelish comment like.. “after this match.. Brandy won’t have enough money to maintain the farm, then the York could buy the farm and raise into condominium, as Brandy become one of the York’s maid..”
Voting incentives
it’s seems.. Sabrina is preparing a victory move.. or stunt.. maybe just a still camera shot..
I go for the cowgirls cause I’m from Texas.
As for Sun I think she plans to use an ancient Chinese move that will restore Sabrina’s hand so she can fight better.
Great for Sabrina to have such a support system, ya? It looks like Sun is about pounce on Sabby for good luck… ha ha ha ha
Ninja tacklehug on the way based on the smiling Brina getting pulled back off the floor in the VI?
Brooke actually acknowledging (briefly) that someone else was helpful in her win?
All the upstarts on the same page on the final panel with some clan moline aided assistance in the setting up of a certain Ultragirl?
as for the match i’m starting to lean towards the Yorks. I think their double switcher-roo has only worked in i think their first appearance so it’s due to actually work again. though a double DQ may be in the works based on all the hints about the ref not being able to keep control of all the double teaming. It would give some more legs to a budding feud between two of the five finalists for tag team of the year (and i don’t see either of their paths getting near the Upstarts anytime soon so this would keep them both occupied while the Upstart stuff is going on)
Looks like Krystin is licking her lips too. Sun and Krystin are going to subject Brina to a tickle attack!
Looks like Sabrina has a lot of fans in the locker room – she’s gonna need them, too!
You know she’s going to do it anyway. … Just depends on what ‘it’ is.
Must say Sun is looking like a real dead ringer of Mayor Mike Haggar with that pose!
If you’ve ever seen Weebl & Bob be sure to look at TEAM LASER EXPLOSION 😀
jabberwocky, I think this means that Brooke is growing? learning? IDK. XD We’re going to see more of the tag match in just a little bit and that will clear things up some. I think Sun owes Sabrina a revenge hug or two, so that might be what that sneaky little ninja has planned. Good questions about Jen and her availability and that too will be answered in just a little bit.
Hey MGC, glad you liked the update. Depending on how this match goes, maybe they’ll get into a farm vs penthouse stakes match. XD
Snowy, I think Sun and Sabrina would love that healing move. And you never know with that sneaky Sun. Expect some level of hijinks to ensue.
DynaMo, I know I appreciate a good luck pounce before I go to work. LOL
It’s a good thought, jpiv, concerning the VI. But yeah, I think the Earth might stop spinning with all of the positive vibes coming from the Upstart girls. With the tag team match, we’ve seen the switcharoo backfire on the Yorks when it concerned them facing Sun and Damage Inc, but they’re not fighting that stable so maybe it’ll work? 😉
Stygimoloch, it could be that these two have some devious designs on Sabrina! We talk about Ultradragon but what about a tag team pairing of Sun and Krystin? O_o
You said it, GhostEraser. But, it might be enough.
Tarrasque, you have the measure of the Lil Dragon. XD
Ninja’d by Prestwick! Is it ironic that he’s talking about Sun? I don’t think so.
Prestwick, I don’t know it but i’ll definitely check it out. XD
EDIT: Oh hell yeah, from Final Fight! That’s what I was thinking of what I first read your comment. XD
Well, the Tower of Cookies is almost gone (the French sure like their nummies – perhaps because typical French food is kinda questionable?), but I’m already working on a larger-than-life cake diorama of Sabrina standing over the battered and submissive bodies of the Hell’s Belles. With buttercream frosting! Mmm, cake!
Boss, you put six fingers on Sabby’s right hand.
uh-oh you know what that means. Kat’s going to come out and say “Sabrina. My mother was killed by a six fingered woman. My name is Kat Smith. Prepare to die.”
This was a good transitional page and I’m glad to see the gals smiling. Except for the ones in the ring, of course. Wondering what Sun is up to…
darkmark, I guess she had the wierdly glowing green soup from catering earlier…
Er, I meant Mo Chen, not darkmark! Sorry guys. jpiv, I could hug you right now!
Alright, time to see what Sabrina can do! Hopefully they don’t kick her butt too much, since she has another match after that….with the big baddie!
Cookie Ogre, everyone knows that french cooking entails cheese and snails. Of course they mad off with the nummies. I think there’s going to be a line for that Sabrina/Hell’s Belles cake. XD
Thanks for the heads up, DynaMo! It’s been fixed. 😉
Thanks darkmark!
Hey Trevor! Sabrina’s going to get roughed up even before her official matches! 😛
What’s wrong with cheese? o_O
Cheese is good. Except when your feet smell like it. Pew. 😛
Cheese good. Snails…not just now, thanks.
Before I get too far into the important part of things, Go Banana Twins! Uh… I mean York Sisters!
Anyway…
Looking good for the set up for the next feature match, so it’s a shame I have such a bad feeling about it. Looking at the upcoming situation for Sabrina from a traditional wrestling viewpoint, as I always try and do, I see only a few possibilities. Not just the title match mind, but the PPV as a whole, however it affects the title match. That said, here is a list of outcomes, in order, and opinion on them:
1: Sabrina gets her butt handed to her on a nice shiny platter. Twice. Realistically, this is a strong possibility but it wouldn’t make a good story for a rookie. Not going to happen.
2: Sabrina wins the title but loses the fight against De Sade. Possible. If this one happens, it’s either a DQ or there’s a post match beatdown to give De Sade the advantage in the later match. That doesn’t feel right to me, because I see Hell’s Belles valuing the gold too much for the DQ but winning fair and getting the post match beatdown is a strong possibility.
3: Sabrina heroically defies the odds and wins both matches. Honestly, It would not surprise me to see this happen. In a live fed, this is the one I’d predict because she is getting her Ultrapush right now and so underdog wins against two skilled opponents, both with interference assists, would be the way most feds would push her further. However, Rival Angels seems to be more ‘real’ than live feds are with the characters mostly living their in ring personalities to a strong degree so it’s not just the front office saying ‘she wins’ here. ‘Brina has to earn it. Therefor, my opinion of the most likely outcome is….
4: Sabrina loses the title and beats Chloe De Sade. Not only does this work from a wrestling viewpoint, giving Brina and Kat something to feud over later, but it lets the focus shift from this show’s answer to the stylin’ and profilin’ 60 minute man that can go all night long against a rookie to her Enforcer taking care of the light work. Sabrina and Kat face off for a while after the PPV and Chloe spins it so that she’s moving on to bigger and better things when she’s really sitting on the sideline and licking her wounds. Not only is this a strong contender by traditional wrestling standards, but it makes sense to the story, it leads to further story naturally, it keeps ‘Brina from being too much of a Hogan/Jerrett/Cena ‘unbeatable’ character.
My call is Kat wins, Brina gets beat down after, she struggles in the match against De Sade, at least some of the other Upstarts stop the other Belle’s from getting involved at a key point and Brina wins her second match.
Looking forward to seeing it play out.

Prediction: Sabrina loses her shot at the title and gets softened up by Katherine (because that’s what bad guys do), but somehow overcomes the odds despite outside interference by making Chloe quit. Why? Because if she loses both, she’s back at square one. If she wins both, it’s because she is Kara Zor-El…
Can’t believe that it’s already the TV Championships already! 🙂 And yet there’s still a back and forth going on not only in the locker room but outside in the ring with the tag-team matchup 🙂
Looking forward to these next few matches and I’m wondering if Sabrina will have enough in the tank to deal with two tough competitors.
Salazen, great comments and predictions here. I can honestly tell you that just about every one of your points was deliberated on until finally settling on what you’re going to see. There was a lot of deliberation too, on the drawbacks and consequences to consider as well. I just hope it comes off interesting and entertaining. XD
Hey Kurt! The TV championship match is just a few pages away now! Most definitely drama in and out of the ring. XD Lots of eyes on Sabrina so it’ll be interesting to see how she handles it. Oh yeah, and her matches. XD
Sal, I think you may have nailed it. Because of drama purposes – this really works. Kat comes up with a win, maybe by working that hurt arm and also some dirt pool from the Belles as a group.
Then, they all try and talk her out of the cage match because of the hurt arm but Sabby carries the day. It is perfect story wise I think. If J.C. was writing it, he said that’s what he’d be doing. But, as my manager and anything else – he is still an idiot.
