Thank you Albone and I just went back and read notes from that section too, a swing and miss for me that observation >.< lol. I think Sabrina will come out on top, its going to be a hard one, but I think she has a good chance, she technically had a handicap match last time. The PPV is really going to test Sabrina’s focus and others ability to close the deal when it really counts, cause whether its one or two a lose hurts momentum.

jpiv, the thing about DX is that they were bad more often than not, and only when they were going up against something like the Nation did their actions seem face-like. But yeah, kind of a rarity. Yep, Xtina is a submissions wrestler and a good one too, from what we're going to find out. Sabrina hasn't been in this position yet in Rival Angels so that's sure to mess with her. WE know and see Sabrina, but she's still pretty new and against established faces, its just going to be hard to go up against. She's got a big challenge in front of her.

Stygomoloch, thanks for the vote of confidence! Ironically, it was Alan Moore that wrote that you shouldn't have more than 22 words per panel on average. I think you're right about the 'Alan' cheat. XD I see what you're thinking for the PPV but I got a few surprises for this match coming up, with the first one coming on Monday with the voting incentive the only tiny hint. ;) But yeah, the PPV is going to be huge for Sabrina, whether she makes the finals of the TV tournament or not.

Ken, thank you for the vote of confidence with the writing. I appreciate it. :) Really though, it was a lot longer and when I got it up on the page, decided to do the trimming. Looks like it was just enough!

Jabberwocky, her attitude adjustment was being empowered by the fact that she was in Damage Inc and could let Brina have it, as far as criticism. She also knew being a part of Damage Inc, she wouldn't have Brina's back anymore either, so she was going to have to get her head on straight to deal with challenges just like this. We saw Sabrina sweating Sun's match earlier. Think maybe we'll see the same out of Sun during Sabrina's match?

Hey hey, RDF! Yeah, Commissioner Gabrielle is such a force. We haven't seen her lately and I think that's going to have to change. Maybe next chapter? Earlier maybe? Heh. Yep, Rival Angels has dark matches but they aren't televised liked you guessed and they don't have any commentators either. They're there to warm up the crowd and give some time to wrestlers that 'aren't quite there' yet. Yeah, the club opening! Wooo, that's going to be a fun chapter! You just know that Gabrielle made sure that 'media sources' like TMZ are in the building. I know exactly what vibe you are talking about with Homer/Sabrina. Marina has her work cut out for her if she's going to get Sabrina back on target.

YuriBoy, you are Ultra-right, that if Sabrina can't get it together, she's going to regret it. That's the problems with rookies, they just don't have the sense or faith that things can get better. Of course, her Upstart roommates losing isn't helping the cause and as dignified mid-carding is, you just know that Sabrina wants more than that.

That’s not good. If the Ultra Girl does not get her act together, she is going to be in Ultra Trouble, but that’s fine considering what went down as of late. Brooke and Krystin losing does not help her either, but I guess she will get though it. If she does not, she is going to mid-carder city, if you know what I mean.

Once again Commish Gabby’s influence is felt… she is a background character whose string pulling is felt even when she’s not in the comic. Especially when she’s not in the comic. “String pulling” sounds kinda sinister. It is.

This is the first I’ve heard of dark matches… I suppose this means Rival Angels has them. Not only are they not on television, they aren’t in the comic either. Before now the big threat for under-performing was getting dropped altogether or sent back to the developmental league… could this happen to Krystin? I doubt it would happen to BrOOke as her… umm… uh… ‘prominent features’ are so telegenic.

Do Dawn and Jeff announce dark matches? Or are there second stringer announcers too? “Good evening sports fans! I’m So Not Jeff, covering tonight’s live exclusive match between Has Been Hannah and Last Chance Linda!!” ‘live exclusive’ = ‘not televised’

Sabrina and the club opening… I’d forgotten all about that. What’s the worst that could happen? Over enthusiastic fan getting physical with a girl who throws people to the ground for a living? Ex boyfriend shipped in to provide live drama for TMZ?? Tune in and see…

Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the match, even if Sabrina seems to be in danger of doing so… Seriously, does anyone recall the Simpsons episode where Homer has to stop a reactor meltdown… and he doesn’t know how ’cause he wasn’t paying attention when the trainer guy told him how all those years before? Get that vibe with Brina now?

Not to change the subject too much, but lately i been thinking about Sun’s comment of Chap 11, more importantly the dynamic change in Sun’s attitude and focus right that. Being a comic nerd,lol, these subtle comments or action combined with a sudden changes or tilt for the reader, forget the importance of these items, a recent example is MJ’ ” secret deal” with Mephistopheles then the series overall still is factor a play for that series.
Something is still hinky to me about that sudden shift in Sun, especially when compared to here recent remarks that were strategically cut off by Kyra before she could finish, but this could be over reading whats there
