Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Brooke Lennox, Krystin Moline, Loretta Diaz, Marina Ortiz, Rampage, Sabrina Mancini, Sun Wong, Veronica Silver
I think Brooke’s heart is in the right place. Maybe. I dunno.
And the show must go on! In this case, a triple threat match between the berserking Rampage, rapidly rising Loretta and fan favorite Veronica! You might remember the ‘undisclosed reasons’ that got Jennifer Needles suspended. You can bet that Loretta will try and take advantage of the opportunity.
Voting Incentive!
Vote to get a sneak peek into what’s coming up on Wednesday!
Brooke, good or bad, she is very trying to say a the least lol. Based on the VI, something has set off Marina to leave is she gonna talk to Gabby or some other twist. Whatever happens it changes the tone in the locker room and I am guessing the backstage to come.
For this match I am hedging my bets with power, size, and crazy I am gonna say Rampage picks up the win. Diaz may be a wild as a late entry, but Rampage is gonna be like hitting a brick wall.
Liked Brooke a lot in this one. I get the feeling she’s the one that needs the most growth, and that you’ll be showing us *how* she grows in the coming months.
Are we getting a triple threat match because it’s too difficult to draw a three-way dance? (Same idea, but two falls to a finish, for those not in the know)
Bless Brooke for trying to cheer Sabrina up. I’m going to enjoy watching this match. We’ve seen Loretta Diaz in her match against Sabrina to see who entered the TV tournament to face the woman she’s replacing, Jen Needles. Rampage is looking large and in charge, I wouldn’t count her out. But Veronica Silver, she wouldn’t be here if she didn’t have the skills to pick up the win. It’s going to be an interesting match to see
Of course we’re not going to see the tag team match. We’re going to the locker room for reaction to Brooke’s match, what the Upstarts think of their matches, and a special focus on Sabrina pulling double duty. Then we’re going to see if Sabrina will be okay for her next match after she takes her beating along with the other Upstarts’ reactions to their matches as the PPV goes on. Then we will get the Upstarts’ reaction to the aftermath of Heaven and Hell. Some other stuff happens in between, but who cares about that anyway?
So yeah, no Rampage, Veronica Silver, Loretta Diaz, Victoria Buckingham, “The Professor”Shannon McCourt, Kyra Gold*, Nikki Foxx*,
Blue DanversBubba Ray Dudley,April BlackD’Von Dudley, Snowkitten#, Rose Ryoko#, Black Widow, or Brenda Rua for the viewer tonight! Sabrina may not be able to wrestle Chloe!%So after tonight, Sabrina’s got a hot feud with Chloe, Sun decides if she really is the fourth member of Damage Inc., Brooke gets to celebrate having a good gimmick to hide her wrestling skills, and Krystin may be going home because of her nonexistent mic skills and not coming up with a safeword before taking Sara Valentine into deep subspace.
Oh, and Chloe gets a talking to from a family member about how her career choice and her attitude make him/her look bad.
*= We might see Damage Inc. because Sun’s involved.
#= AKA the Cosplayers. BKO Fanfiction.net. Can cause people to go into fits of laughter upon hearing their names. This is normal.
%= She’s gonna wrestle.
J, here… have a cookie. You’re a little wound up. We’ve discussed this before about who gets focus.
Keeping the action rolling is a great thing to have and a three-way match at that. Although I’m sure Sabrina is still the focus of concern, the others have their matches to get ready for as well. Will they be able to keep their heads in their own games?
Nice thing about your comic is that you give hints of others. A lot of people just stick with the main character instead of teasing us with so many others….
Nice “borrowed” Chris Jericho joke about Veronica Silver. 😉
Oh My God Diaz Is Back On The Ring 😀 😀 😀
may I know Veronica Silver’s
vital stats?
Height
weight
finisher move:?
hmm!! triple treat..
I like Veronica Silvers FTW.
also Loretta Diaz FTW.
I do not think Rampage is that big. I think she is a medium built or light built wrestler from the looks of her in the rumble. I do not know why some of ya are saying she is so big. Anyway I digress, I agree with what jpiv said. I think this match will barely get any look because we have Sabrina having her pity party. By the looks of the sneak peak it looks like her mentor is going to go off and try and get some sort of Justice for her by way of the Commish who’s head is not in the right place right now.
And wow Dawn how brave of you to say that about Rampage when she can not hear you. What a cowardly way to express your opinion. Why can she not be more like Jeff? Now he is a good commentator!
Previous art of her is deceptive. She’s thick and the angles we’ve seen make her look bigger than she is. But if you peek back at the Battle Royal I think that helps.
Hokay, I love the humilty on Sabrina’s face and her non-verbal cues. She’s a young woman brought down but still enough pride to state she gave it her all.
As for the upcoming match, remember that Veronica was one of the last women out of the Battle Royal and that’s only because of York’s deft little move. Still, I have to say that she may not be much of a factor here.
Loretta Diaz has been freight train (believe me, Mo Chen knows) but Rampage is the immovable object, so to speak. I think Silver may end up caught between them and end up a LOT worse for wear.
Nothing personal, Loretta dear – but I’d like to see Rampage win this. Everyone acts like she’s a big threat but I’ve neva’ seen anything from her.
Australians make everything better 🙂
Well I’ll give this for Brooke at least she’s learning to care abou others. Also I’m betting Veronica’s going to win the 3 on 1 match.
I like seeing other wrestlers, besides the main characters.
bah ate my comment- damn non autofilling name/email thing
anyway
while the non-upstart matches won’t be getting full match treatments (or this PPV will still be going on at Christmas) i’ll still take Veronica “soon to be only 7 more wins til the upgrade to gold” Silver to take it here. Two heels don’t usually work that well so Loretta will look at Rampage funny at some point, or not look at her, or bump into her accidently- depending on what the here comes trouble winner decides at that particular moment and squashes her and Ms.Silver steals the win.
Of course the heels will work well together until the first pinfall attempt ruins everything because neither will let the other get the win if they can help it. Seems Rampage ranks a bit higher on the “heel-o-meter” than Loretta does.
Marina looks to be off to “take care of business” in the VI. whether that business is to find Gabby or “accidently” bump into Chloe in a dark hallway somewhere is yet to be determined.
::slips Kat a red velvet cupcake while Chloe isn’t looking:: I would like to see at least a few incidental frames of this match as well, I keep meaning to write a crossover fanfic involving Rampage at some point, but we know pretty much nothing about her.
jabberwocky, I guess Brooke has to be Brooke. XD Marina sure does seem to be in a hurry about something. More on that Wednesday. Right you are on the power wrestler, Rampage. She’s a beast!
Darkmark, there big plans for Brooke between now and the end of the Season and she’s definitely not done yet at this PPV.
Eric, the three way dance would be overkill right now. Maybe if this match ends in some sort of controversy, we’ll get said dance.
Ronin, the three way should be entertaining especially with the late addition of Jen. There seems to be some genuine love for Loretta from the readers, so you’re in good company.
JSN, we won’t see a lot of the threeway to be sure, but without giving anything away, I think it’d be a shame if we didn’t see a lot of the championship match. Definitely expect to see Damage Inc. I had a really great promo (at least I think) for Shannon and Victoria, but I’m not sold yet if it’ll make it in. Don’t want to impede the story with it. And LOL comparing Black and Blue to the Dudleys! I had forgotten their finisher and thought it was the Dudley Death Drop until you reminded me of what it is. XD
Kurt, there’s going to be a lot of backstage drama all night long. Not just with the Upstarts and their matches, but with other interested and involved parties as well.
Thanks Snowy! I think the other characters add a lot of flavor to the mix. Your tag match for instance, should be a lot of fun. 😉
Ultima, that makes me smile that you’re familiar with the reference. 😀
Svan, she’s back! How well will she do? 😉
MGC, I can tell you that Veronica Silver’s finisher is the Silver Streak. The Silver Streak is a Diamond Cutter. I can’t find her exact vitals but she’s taller than Kyra Gold, shorter than Nikki Foxx and weighs less than either of them. You’re a fan of Loretta? I remember back on page 99 where it seemed like you were becoming a Sabrina fan at Loretta’s expense.
BBD, it’s sort of relative, that is to the other wrestlers. Rampage, compared to most of the other wrestlers is built like a linebacker and wrestles like that. I don’t mind telling you that I patterned her after Konnan. That is a mighty fine guess at the VI as well. 😉
Hey Dyna! You and Sabrina both know how tough Loretta can be. 😉 Rampage is definitely no slouch and you pointed out correctly how well Veronica has performed in the past. No matter what, it’s going to be a tough, entertaining match.
Hey Pete! If Brooke where here, she’d give you a big ol hug. 🙂
McMool, she’s probably trying to make up for letting that smirk loose last page. lol Hey, another vote for Veronica! She is the fan favorite so that might help out. XD
Picky, I think it’s definitely important to shake things up. While the focus is on the Upstarts, expect some backstage story from some of the other wrestlers as well.
jpiv, that’s a good point about why I can’t show everything, though I would really love it if I could. Another Veronica backer. Cool! You got that right about the heels, but don’t forget that while Rampage is strong as an ox, she’s loony too but more in a scary way. Marina’s definitely on a mission and usually these things involve taking care of Sabrina.
Cookie Ogre, I believe the new TV champ would be appreciative, but in the ‘of course, I deserve this’ sort of way. XD Rampage is a loon on par with De Sade. She’s a crazy villain with an axe to grind with everyone and willing to take things too far to satisfy their ends. Also, she has a wrestling brother with the same name. O_o
@Albone..
I become Loretta Diaz fan.. as I decrease as my favorite..
cheering for Sabrina that time.. but didn’t know that she’ll win against Jen Needles.. that made me not liking Sabrina..
aw….I thought Rampage was a fly weight the way she was tossed from the battle royal. And who do I want to win this three way? Rampage of course. Though I would not mind miss Diaz winning it either.
Dawn hun your mixing your measurement you want pints or quarts not liters as 4 liters wont give you a gallon if your curious its 3.87 liters in gallon just lettign you know hun , also jeff that kinda funy with the crazy comment
Right. She’s likely got a concussion and definitely can barely stand, and she’s talking about not showboating. If it were me, I wouldn’t even be talking period, much less talking about showboating of all things. Katherine getting a cake does seem unlikely, though.
Right, if Kat gets anything, it’d probably be a verbal thrashing from Chloe for not doing more damage to Sabrina than she did. Jen would probably be comforting to her best friend, congratulating her, But Chloe seems like the sort of person who the only accomplishments who count for anything are hers.
MGC, you have a real love for Jen don’t you? I wouldn’t hold it against Sabrina though especially since that should show you the skill levels between Jen, Sabrina and Kat.
BBD, well, Francesca is a big gal too, so she was able to put some oomph into putting Rampage over the top rope. Glad to see some Rampage love in the match. 😀
Comichero, I’d say that Dawn isn’t a genius by any stretch, but a google search showed what you said is true and what Dawn said is accurate too. Basically, she’s just saying that Rampage is pretty unstable as you’ll see.
Tarrasque, I’d think that those few words would show you the mental state she’s in. More on her physical condition very soon. Yeah, a cake seems out of the question especially after all the food waste at Chloe’s fan club party. I would think that champagne would be likely, but they probably wouldn’t want to tempt Chloe with that, seeing as that she’s got a match later in the evening.
Ronin, you’re definitely not far off. Maybe we’ll see what’s going on in the Belles locker room in a bit?
Thank you for the information, Albone-san! If I can ever make myself sit down and write that story, perhaps I’d better find someone a little more honorable for the opposition then. 😉 I figured Kat deserved a little reward because Chloe is most likely hogging down anything that had already been in the Belles’ dressing room, or destroying it in a rather “dog in the manger” kind of way.
You have to apprectiate Brooke’s effort. Cake does make a wound feel better. Like German Chocolate cupcakes…mmmm yum! not to be mean, but yeah you lost and it hurts. Now, think about it…She really did a good job fighting Sabrina, Kat is one heck of a fighter. You’ll know that for future, now shush it, and get your head on right for fighting Chloe. I mean As the commish did say, the few weeks in developmental was too little. Get over it and it’s time to get back in for the fight. If she even can. Though what came to mind was from Princess Bride with Andre spoke of having trouble fighting just one man, he was used to fighting more than one. It takes different fighting techniques. Sabrina kind of is used to fighting more than one person…And I’m back from my little side thought of chasing a butterfly. I really can’t wait to see everyone elses matches. I also can’t wait to see some back time at the Belles box. I wonder if Kat will start her celebration early.
