Chapter 07— Page 29-Uncomfortably Numb
Sabrina wiped both she and Brenda out, and even though she’s on her feet, she’s numb to the crowd, her aches and pain, and even her feeling of loss at the Championship opportunity.
Brenda is left in a wreck, just as she left Sabrina when we ended Season 2. Sun made Sabrina promise that she’d return the favor, though Sun was going to add some emphasis after the fact. In Pro Wrestling, it just makes sense to exact some sort of payback, and Sabrina can check that box, but it doesn’t change the fact that she got robbed of her title opportunity.
No matter what side of the fence you claim, this is a real mess. Where do we go from here?

Me: “Soooooooooo-“
Catgirl #1: OH MY GOD! SHE KILLED BRENDA!
Catgirl #2: YOU BASTARD!
Wow I forgot about this until you reminded me. Talk about your Deja’s vu moment in this series. Payback/Karma/Irony/whatever is an painful moment to go through when it happens to you.
One could say that Brenda may have deserved it given she did the same thing to Sabrina. You know an eye for an eye or in this case a table for a table.
Just wow and you mentioned Sun which brings up the question how will she takes this ?
I am just surprised that no one is booing what she did.
Their hero has turned evil.
But Brenda put Sabrina through a table a long while ago for being “wrong place at the wrong time”. So by that logic, was Brenda evil?
@frogger44 I missed that page. I’d like to see that one. Where is it?
It’s listed in my blog post below the comic! Though the page before that might be better:

Me too, certainly booing was in order by a spectators. So I say: BOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Giving an opponent a beating who’s already down most certainly will backfire.
E.g. Clemenceau gave it to the Germans after W.W. I, instead of helping a fallen enemy at her feet (ipinion of W. Wilson), it resulted in W.W. II.
Btw it remains to be seen if Brenda knew the action of Cocoa was going to happen.
The crowd still with her…. that is troubling…
She made a major heel move…
The crowd is with her…right now.
But the aftermath will be interesting, and possibly horrifying.
I was expecting a bit more of a mixed reaction myself given the moonsault was probably a bit of overkill.
on the other hand the fans do seem very much aware that cocoa blatantly screwed brina out of a title match so brina snapping for a bit would be understandable. plus no use of international objects and she hurt herself just as much as she did Brenda almost in the process so it’s a “clean” post match attack. and it was really only an ultrakick or two plus the moonsault, not like she was putting the boots to Brenda afterwards or had friends come down to help with it. just more “BRINA SMASH! (with great flippiness)”
gabby however may not see it that way. “it’s like you WANT me to keep suspending you Sabrina…” then she gets talked out of it due to this being “best for business”
If this attack had been unprovoked there might be more of a mixed reaction from the audience. But after Brenda sent Sabrina threw the table not that long ago, and Cocoa screwing Sabrina over on her title shot, this was a well deserved reaction.
I’m going to refrain from personally commenting on anyone’s particular comments because I don’t want to derail the great conversation that is going on.
I will say that it would take a lot for the crowd to abandon Sabrina, especially in a Pyrrhic Victory. I mean, just Monday we had Ronda twisting Stephanie’s arm off after extending it for a handshake, to a huge pop but of course, context is always important.
Brenda’s seen with Cocoa, Cocoa interferes in the match and hands Brenda the victory, Brina’s had enough of getting screwed over by people. No boos necessary
As little use as I have for facile “goodie/baddie” demarcations, if you’re going to use them, I have a hard time seeing how Brenda would clearly be on the right side of one.
One can understand her rage at losing her title, and the Damage Inc shenanigans, but she stole Shannon McCourt’s title opportunity, has been seen in conference with clear “baddies” in the form of the Three Fates, and has just been handed yet another unearned title opportunity via Cocoa’s interference.
Maybe there’s some deeper game she’s playing, but if so, she’s certainly aware of how it must appear.
I’m almost amazed people forgot that Brenda put Sabrina through a table first. That was my first thought the moment Sabrina did her splash on Brenda. Then there’s the fact Sabrina got screwed by Cocoa while Brenda doesn’t even try to explain herself as to why she was even talking to Cocoa beyond ‘none of your business’. I expect the suits to cringe, but I would not expect the crowd to boo. Remember, crowds can and will turn a blinds eye for even less than what happened to Sabrina. Case in point, any heel versus Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman being the best example. :p
No wonder Brenda has not been posting lately… her back must be killing her
And neck, and pelvis, and legs, and arms…assuming she can feel any of those body parts.
