There’s a lot going on in the ring between World Champ Brenda Rua and challenger Black Widow, but there’s plenty going on backstage as well, specifically with our most enigmatic Upstart, Krystin. (And she even brought Topher!) Longtime readers will remember that Krystin has inferred that she’ll have to face Brooke soon (page 364) and Brooke herself is terrified at the prospect (page 347).
Voting Incentive!
Here’s a sequence from next update’s page that can be viewed if you vote!
Interesting move, Krystin. I get the feeling, though, that security’s going to call before she gets her answer…
The best answer from management is not to answer, or so it seems.
BAAAHHHH!! Humbug!!
what’s happening in the ring!!
Brenda Rua? you’re winning right?
Krystin VS Sun.. I guess.. or Krystin/Sara VS Sabrina/ Sun…
that Lil Jimmy Sun Wong.. has to pay!!
I think Ablone doesn’t want to show to much of Brenda in the ring or he will have to change the title of his comic to Celtic Warriors.
love to see more on Brenda.. Snowkitten..
also more on the Catgirls..
M.G.C. on commentary:
I say..
Krystin Moline is a great wrestler.. and deserve something.. more than ‘Ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini.. more that ‘Lil Jimmy’ Sun Wong..
Krystin VS Sun is the best.. so Sun will pay for her crimes..
Krystin VS Sabrina.. so Krystin will prove again.. that Sabrina is a product of conspiracy.. Krystin should be the rival angels upstart no Sabrina or Sun..
Ohh a conspiracy, tell me more.
Sabrina became rival angel product..
there are far greater talent and wrestler than Sabrina.. which Gabrielle didn’t used and boost..
for instance Catgirls..
Hmmm, seems a little early in ones career to be making demands…
Hmmmm
Curious…
Always shoot for the sky because you might not get it but you could end up with more than you expected.
There’s a bigger booty in her way to the very top than Brooke’s. And it’s in the ring right now.
And NO, dang it! I don’t mean mine!
Hmmmph!
Why is my glass of milk shaking?
A look like that coming from a person like Gabrielle is trouble expect Krysten’s next match to be a handicap match against the Towers of Terror.
as for the action in the ring let’s just repeat this: WIDOW! WIDOW! WIDOW! Michael needs to worry about what Maddie does because I guarentee there is going to be hell to pay before this is all said and done.
i think Gabby is a bit amused with Krystin’s declaration in a “so someone thinks they’re ready to step up to the next level- let’s see how this plays out” sort of way. Michael of course can’t stay focused on Maddie for more than a couple of panels before distracted with visions of Brooke. maybe we should start calling her “Maddie Who?” in honor of this update.
however i do think based on the VI Gabby’s got a bit of a “like the attitude but I call the shots here” thing going to remind Krystin just where exactly on the pecking order she is. (um that is Gabby in the middle right? i always have trouble recognizing people in black and white).
as for the match the tiny TV in panel 1 indicates the staredown is either just taking place or still going on. i expect a test of strength to follow with Widow winning the first two before Brenda finally gets the advantage the third time to BW’s dismay.
Well at least Michael is continuing his streak of being classy lol. From concerned to pervert in less than sixty seconds. Interesting power play by the Def Tech, let’s see if pays off or backfires.
Actually, Krystin did smart by hitting Gabby up right after her win and the PPV is going good. I mean, Krys hasn’t even got her ring gear off yet…
Besides, it make good transition to what is happening with Brooke. That Aussie hussie seem to rub everyone the wrong way – except Michael – <i>giggles</i>. Still, even Mo Chen would no mind working her over some.
I’m willing to bet that Brooke’s booty has a higher IQ than Michael… So, when does Maddie wise up and dump him?
I think perhaps Krystin is jumping the gun a bit. Plus, Gabrielle could set Krystin up so easily that Krystin thinks she’s picked her own opponent, but it will all be according to Gabrielle’s plan.
Why would she bother being manipulative? Gabrielle runs the show. She sets the matches. Wrestlers’ preferences might influence the choices, but she’s got the final word. And if Brooke’s caught now, I suspect Krystin’s going to end up fighting her NEXT, whatever Krystin wants.
Michael is like a horny Homer Simpson! “Mmm….booty…” And Krystin had better hope that Gabby’s amused, otherwise she might find herself Whack-a-Mole’d but good. Madame Commish has to deal with a LOT of egos, one successful storyline doesn’t guarantee that she likes you.
If I was Krysten, I’d be a bit more humle at this point. She had a great showing against Sara out there, but is still 2-3 in Rival Angels. I would have waited to build up her Win column a bit before telling the boss that she calls her own shots.
and real smooth, Michael. I’m starting to wonder how a nitwit like him got such a high position in RA
Hey everyone! I didn’t want this news to take center stage, but I’m back from vacation and also got laid off from my job. Things have been hectic but finally settling down a bit.
DragonMan, I think Gabrielle is fine without security. She’d be the kind to fire you and know that you wouldn’t wreck anything on the way out for fear of her coming after you. 😛
MGC, the match is JUST beginning. No worries, you won’t miss much. I’m glad that you like Krystin and there are big things in store for her in Season 2. 😉
Golden Girl, she is really putting herself out there, isn’t she? But, the worst Gabrielle can say is ‘No.’ Well, except, ‘you’re fired!’ or, ‘ your next match is a handicap match against Black and Blue…’ lol
LOL Champ!
Thanks for the assist, Snowy. 😀 That glass rumbling is the titans going at it in the ring!!
Wokinshadoze, more to come on this conversation with maybe a reveal? Expect something big to come out of the Michael/Maddie/Brooke triangle as well. If you’re a fan of Black Widow, I suspect you’ll like Friday’s update. O_o
jpiv, that’s just about right about Gabrielle’s reaction to Krystin. You got the VI correct with Gabby and Krystin. 😉 What can be said about Michael that hasn’t already said about Hugh Grant? 😛 I think we need a good test of strength in the ring about now. XD
Jabberwocky, he is definitely consistent! Maybe that’s why he’s still employed with Rival Angels. 😛 You’re going to get your answer very shortly about Krystin.
Dyna, you’ve had some awesome matches on the Rival Angels forum and for those that know about your history with Brooke there, they’d love to see you two tangle. Krystin is striking while the iron is hot so to speak, and a big win in front of her family seems to have brought back the early confidence that Def Tech showed in the beginning of Rival Angels.
GhostEraser, I think there is an obvious argument for Maddie to dump the chump. There’s still time before the wedding! Maybe something dramatic, like on the altar? O_O You might appreciate Gabrielle’s power of persuasion come next update.
Cookie Ogre, you are on the money with your thoughts on Gabrielle. Her job is dealing with egos like De Sade, Carmichael and Carpenter so it comes down to what mood she’s in for dealing with a young rookie like Krystin.
Donny, I think we’re going to see Michael’s origin when I get to the origin of the company itself next season. As for Krystin, she’s got more for you on Wednesday. 😉
Since you don’t seem to follow what I’m saying, looks like my guess was wrong!
I was thinking that ‘before Krystin got an answer on whether or not she can opt out of fighting Brooke’ would be a heck of a time to find out that Brooke had been very, very naughty. Like, ‘involved in a fight with a jealous woman’ naughty.
Outside the world of pro wrestling, that kind of thing would get you fired, but in this setting, maybe it would get Brooke a mandatory match against the boss’ chosen Attitude Adjuster, eh?
Ooh, that’s rough, Albone-san! Good luck in whatever direction you’re heading next!
Brooke’s got more than booty going for her, ya thieving pirate!
Looks like some idiot we know is thinking with the wrong head again
Sorry to hear about the job, boss. But things are coming around and picking up. I’m sure with your talents and drive you’ll come up with something even better.
Here’s a big hug for you. And no “A” frame either – unless your better half is watching.
