Chapter 8 -Page 27-Tapout
Aug03
Krystin wins the fight by tapout, keeps her friend and gets the guy, not to mention setting herself up to be a two-sport superstar along the lines of Brock Lensar. Not a bad finish for Krystin, don’t you think?

And there is a typical difference in MMA and Wrestling. That good sportsmanship at the end. It is amazing to see fighters who have some serious heat coming into a match, shake hands, raise the other’s arm, praise one another in the post fight. One of the few sports you usually see that.
Nice page.
Thanks! I’m right with you on the sportsmanship. It’s very much lacking in pro wrestling and I’d like to see a little more of it, so that using that here made such an impact on the story is very satisfying.
That’s one thing i like about Ring of Honor.
So she beats an experienced MMA fighter in her FIRST MMA match. Cool seeing the plot armor at play.
It was her second match. She lost her first. And she has a strong wrestling background
I assume she’ll be facing Randy Couture for the championship next.
Yep! She’ll win with some insane ground and pound and then trash the sponsors post-fight. XD
1. In this ‘world’, wrestling and MMA seem to be kissing cousins. Both have strikes and submissions. Wrestling has pins, and perhaps less concern about rules and breaking them,
2. Kristin has been since the start the ‘technician’ or submission fighter with an MMA theme. Uses MMA gloves and such, has been shown to train with MMA fighters. So she tailors her style to already fit MMA.
3. It’s a comic book and this is the final arc. Guess what, at the end Superman beats the bad guy, the X-Men finally triumph against the anti mutant menace. They’ve had their failures to grow to get here.
Anyway, grats to Kristin.
Yep, their first MMA fight was about a year ago, right before last year’s Mae Young Classic.

Thanks, guys!
Yay!!! 😀
I did like this.
Krystin worked hard for her ending and she deserves it in full. She finally redeemed herself and became better from it.
I’m thrilled that you guys liked this finish. 🙂
All it takes is one good move and you can turn things around. As for two sports….well that could wear her out quickly, better concentrate on one.
Totally solid advice about sticking to one sport, but I don’t think Krystin is going to listen.
I figured she would transition into MMA at some point. I agree with Snow two combat sports would be too much for her.
There’s some thought whether she’d leave wrestling all together, but I like the idea of her being like Batista or Brock Lensar, at least skill-wise.
I’m just waiting for someone to get sent into the announce table and take out Jeff
If it weren’t Brooke, then my money’s on Sabrina. XD
I will aim Danielle at it.
Krystin does better keeping her ego in check when it comes to her MMA matches. I’m guessing she’s rolled with Mercy many training matches before their on-air fights too, so they know each other pretty well.
