    Well…FINALLY! ;-)   Didn’t I tell you she’d win?  Guess she’s got Katherine wheeling somewhat…which leaves the bitch with the bo holding the…er…stick.  To Hell with Hell’s Belles!  Thanks, Albone.

    Panel 1: I never expect “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini, to spear.. let’s call it “Ultra spear!”  

    Panel 2 (ranhei): great execution.. but I really have to question here, I haven’t seen an “Ultrakick” nor “Ultrasplash” to Jennifer Needles.. then the pin 1….2….3. I don’t know but I kinda underestimate on that move..  how come Jennifer Needles didn’t kickout? is it a first time got hit on that move or something?

    rightside boxes: Sun is happy, Krystin is releaf, Brooke “ohh?.. I really have to say.. I really love “White Queen” Chloe De Sade reaction here.. as if someone approaches to “White Queen” Chloe De Sade. 
     and said to Chloe “Kimi wa kawaii, des me! Suki des!“ 

    and surely Chloe De Sade will also in shock.. hheheh.. Chloe is a beautiful madammoiselle too..

    I really hope on episode 204.. Sabrina Mancini will help Jennifer Needles get up and shake Jennifer Needles hand. 
     
    I hope Jennifer Needles’ okay..

    it’s okay! Jennifer Needles,

    Tell me what you wanna know
    oh come on oh come on oh come on
    There ain’t no motive for this crime
    Jenny was a friend of mine
    Oh come on Oh come on oh come on

    But even, with this loss.. I still like Jennifer Needles, and I will still support her in her matches..

    Here for Jennifer Needles!! Dedicated Song for Jennifer Needles

    I have some off-topics.. I don’t know..

  4. Redwar

    I love Sabrina win pose reminds me of CM Punk when he got into Money in the Bank last year.

  5. ps2kid

    Yay Sabrina  wins…………………………………………… and now into a beatdown by Hell’s Belles. LOL!

  6. GhostEraser

    YES!  But now is the time to run, not celebrate – Kat won’t stay down much longer, and Chloe de Sot probably wants to use her magic wand now…

  7. Zodo

    This was sudden! M.G.C. does have a point in that this is not one of UltraGirl’s regular finishers. Has she added something new to her arsenal, or has this been there all along? The Spear does flow nicely from the facedown they had on Monday.

    I also agree with ps2kid. Sabrina’s celebration is going to be short-lived as she gets the boots (and whatever else Chloe brings to the ring with her) from the Hell’s Belles.

  8. svan

    WOOOOTT  Ultragirl win. :D   Pretty nice moves Sab, realy.   Probably Needle have been stunned by those last moves, and they was both very tire, the match was pretty long.

  9. M.G.C.

    I have to say this though.. “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini win here, is kinda.. honestly.. looking at panel 2(ranhei): 1….2….3 Jennifer Needles was just shock.  kinda late 3 second to react for the kickout I say..
     
    “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini win here.. is just a win.. still doubts. let’s check, “Latina Chick” Loratta Diaz VS “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini match.. ultrakick and ultrasplash.. Loretta Diaz is totally out.. I mean knockout for 15-25 seconds. while here, Jennifer Needles isn’t knockout, it’s just late reaction..

    I agree on Svan.. Jennifer is just stunned on that move, not totally loss. just stun.. The hard thing is on rematches.. Jennifer Needles VS “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini… Jennifer Needles wins..

    and also I’ll support Jennifer Needles..

  10. Picky

    Nah, Needles was woozy from the spear and the ranhei finished the job. Good combination of moves. Sabrina moves on and it’s going to be funny seeing the full reactions from the Hells Belles and “Useless” Brooke.

  11. primus21

    I love the look on brooks face.

  12. albone

    Good job on picking the winner, darkmark! Chloe’s a bit stunned right now, but as you probably know, that’s going to pass.

    MGC, while Sabrina didn’t hit Jen with the Ultrakick or Ultrasplash, we did see her Superkick Kat. Jen was beaten down enough for the surprise Ranhei. As you can see from the youtube clips, they’re sudden and effective if the opponent is unprepared. Wouldn’t proper etiquette be for Jen to shake Sabrina’s hand? Jen’s the one who lost so it would be on her, wouldn’t it? Okay, you talked me into it, Sabrina shakes Jen’s hand next update. It doesn’t matter if you win by a second or you win by a minute. A win’s a win.

    Hey Redwar, I was totally going for the Punk pose there! He seemed so genuinely happy to have won and I wanted to capture a little bit of that here.

    ps2kid, yep she won!! But….you think the Belle’s are going to attack?

    You too, GhostEraser? You think De Sade’s going to get her spellbook and lay a beating on Sabrina? Heheheh, ‘de Sot.’

    Hey Zodo, glad you liked the update! As for the ranhei, let’s just say that Sabrina has fallen to that move herself in the past (not shown….yet), so she was familiar with it. I see you think that Sabrina is in store for a beatdown. i’m not sure why you guys think that. :P

    You got it, Svan. Remember last page when both girls were facing off with each other? Sabrina got the first move in and therefore the win. Those last moves that Jen took, plus the exertion in trying to pin Sabrina’s shoulders to the mat for the three count caught up with her.

    Right on, Picky….Sabrina got a good combo going, so to speak. Sabrina does move on and I even updated the TV tournament page which can be found by going to the upper right, under Calendar or by clicking here.

    Haha, thanks Patric!

  13. Adam B.

    Oh Right, Sabrina wins again. I knew she can do it.

    Can’t wait for what happen next.

  14. Adon

    Very cool finish.  And I do concur with the point that the match ender doesn’t HAVE to be the usual finisher.  Ricky Steamboat is a great example here — how many of his marquis matches were won with a small package, or in that memorable match with Ric Flair, that chicken-wing turned to a pin?  Or Flair himself, for that matter… the figure four was certainly his finisher, but as often as not he won the big money matches with something else.  The right move, at the right time, can make for a very believable ending.

  15. Ken B3

    I have to say I have watched a lot of wrestling and never seen that move before. That is pretty cool, has Sabrina ever wrestled in Japan or been trained by someone who has?

    Major victory here, I’m predicting Sabrina goes all the way in the tournament now. However, after winning that title, she will have a huge target on her ass.

  16. Picky

    The updated TV Title Tournament page shows Sara Valentine from my home turf: Seattle! That explains quite a lot, actually.

  17. Jamie - 67th Avenue

    I feel kinda sorry for Needles.  I think Brina’s gonna make it out of the ring in one piece, but de Sade will hammer on Jen for losing.  The question: will Kat side with de Sade (leaving an opening in HB) or with her “friend” Needles?

  18. Vanessa

    Im happy :P
    I love that move, the Ranhei, first time i saw that, pretty cool.  Nice combo from Sabrina.  I will keep in mind the Ranhei, maybe i will make a finisher similar in TGW.

  19. Roller Derby Fan

    This is a match that left me feeling almost as tired and beat up as Sabrina… a really grueling string of episodes.

    The panels convey a ’second wind’ for Sabrina; I personally read the ep as she had a moment of clarity which needed no thought and left no delay: take Jennifer out through a kinetic, head on assault. I can’t say why the ep gives me that feeling; it just does.

    The other Upstarts’ reactions are of interest… Sun is joyful, Krystin is relieved, and Brooke ( must have had a quickie with Michael ) looks… well, I’m not sure if it’s shock or relief. Brooke looks odd here, her eyes are drawn as if she’s tilted her head sideways a little but her chin isn’t.
    The fans are estatic, I would think there is hardly anyone not on their feet now.

    Hmmm… Chloe isn’t happy about this. At all. What’s she gonna do? Her first impulse is no doubt to go whap Sabrina with all that stuff in her bag… but I suspect the charged up fans would riot if that happened. 

    Tuning in next time…

  20. Zodo

    While innovative moves are neat, one of the things that is a foundation of Wrasslin is that each performer has a special set of moves they use to set up, then finish the match. As a wrestler gains popularity, the fans pop when the see these moves.

    Every wrestler from the mid-card and up does this, exhibiting a number of signature moves, and finishers. Then when they get to really big pay per view matches, having an opponent kick out of a finisher makes the match even bigger. (though a certain Mister NoSellaMania takes it to an extreme)

    Since Sabrina is on a meteoric rise, I think it’s OK to reveal a few new moves, but she should still have a core of moves that she finishes with, Otherwise she’s just going to be a Spot Queen, with no real theme.

  21. albone

    Adam, you won’t have to wait too much longer to see what happens next. :D

    Hey Adon! Yeah, I felt the need to change it up just a little bit with this finish. Sabrina still hit her Ultrakick (on Kat) which I think is a marquee move. Great examples too of some excellent wrestlers changing it up to win.

    Ken, you and I both know that Sabrina or whoever holds that TV title is going to have a HUGE target on their back. More on that to come. I’m glad I could pull out a new move for you! Sabrina hasn’t been to Japan (yet) but she had some great coaching in developmental which we’ll see more of in the future.

    I’m glad you noticed, Picky, the update in the TV tournament page. Seattle has a lot of cool things going for it, including the punk rocker, sassy Sara Valentine. :)

    Hehe Jamie….well, who says both won’t happen? De Sade doesn’t look kindly on failures and another question is how much she’s going to blame Kat in Jen’s loss.

    Vanessa, the Ranhei is a great move to use when your opponent is off guard or wobbly. I hope its a good finisher for you!

    Hey RDF! I’m glad you got caught up in the match, that makes me very happy. You’re on the mark with Sabrina’s thinking, or rather her reacting instinctively, quickly. Great observations about the crowd and reaction shots. I will reveal that Brooke is more shock, ‘I can’t BELIEVE it,’ in her face. I actually had dialogue for these panels but I decided against it. ;) Chloe is NOT happy and what is she going to do? We will get to find out shortly.

    Right on Zodo. Wrestlers get over by having some familiarity to them, which is why finishers and catch phrases are so important. Never fear though, Sabrina won’t be a spot queen. She’s got her arsenal and I think what’s more profound than having a new move introduced is having a familiar move countered or missing. But, these things have to be used sparingly or they get tired pretty quick. So, we’re on the same wavelength. All of the angels have their moves but every once in a while, we’re going to see something unexpected.

    RANHEI! RANHEI!! RANHEI!!!

    OK, now that I’ve got all the JR out of me :P Awesome page. The contrast between Chloe and Sun’s face is comedic perfection xD Awesome match. I hope she uses the Ranhei more in the future.

  23. albone

    Great JR impression there!  I’m thrilled you liked the page. :D  More Ranhei?  Possibly. XD

  24. Prestwick

    And you know what is really awesome about this page?

    Check panel 3, movement two. Her back tatoo is perfect.

    Awesomexross.

  25. albone

    Ah, thanks man, glad you liked that little detail. :)
