Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Kat Smith, Sabrina Mancini
Kat is getting awfully cocky. It seems that Kat has fallen to Sabrina’s previous fault of showboating. Sabrina’s taken her fair share of knocks for it but has carved out a winning streak despite. Will the same hold for Kat? Sabrina’s still fighting back but as you can see, the damage is starting to take it’s toll and even when she’s given an unintended breather from Kat, her counter attacks are losing it’s steam.
Next update!
Kat made things nasty with her low blow kick, but expect things to devolve even further. But who’s going to escalate this nastiness?
Voting Incentive!
Get a sneak peek at what’s coming up on Monday.
Sabrina went to the well to many times with that move and we are going to have to see if that going to cost her in the end. I say nice counter of the counter for Sabrina would be a a “shining wizard”, it would keep the focus to Kat’s head.
I think being the Belles has dulled Ms Smith’s focus for a skilled ring vet like her to gloat/show boat like and give her opponent time to recover. I am torn to see more of this match and the fall out of it, keep them coming and good work.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an enzugiri out of Sabrina from this position, but we shall see. Very interested to see what exactly is going on in the voting incentive.
I don’t see how Sabrina’s going to come up a winner from this one. And even if she does, I don’t see how in heck she’s going to stand against Chloe, who’s going to be fresh. I HOPE there’s a resolution next time. Or at least near to it.
A Heel got to do what a heel got to do..
Panel 1-2-3 : are great.. hope Albone can do it like a wallpaper ..hehehe!!
Panel 1: I won’t go for comparison again.. since it’s obvious Katherine got more power or damage on that piledriver..
Panel 2: Jeff crew might have said this “Powergirl is too much for Ultragirl”
Panel 3: I agree on Jeff this one.. “I rather see Kat’s gun than Sabrina’s heart, any day of the week”
Katherine said “here’s your next champ”
ah? any comment from the ‘Champ’ Brenda Rua?
Champs are not made when they don’t follow through right away. Good kick by the way.
Ooooo!! Wheels within wheels! I like it!
Never showboat when you could be going for a pin. Still, Kat did block the Ultrakick; never saw that happen to HBK. Both women are still in this match, it’s like whoever makes the big mistake first loses.
So, good panel, this has been full of turn arounds. I see some flying in the voting incentive, yay flying, nail biting if she’ll hit it, and also not hit the ref. If she hits it without taking anyone else out, also without Chloe to helpout this might be the moment she needs to win it. As for the fight against Chloe, yeah I can see that going very badly. No steam left in the tank…wouldn’t it be snickerlicios, if some ninjaing goes on backstage on Chloe…to just even the fight…Now I know that wouldn’t be Sabrina approved…but what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her…green what green mist? Love it, can’t wait till Monday.
I am stunned by both Kat’s beauty and wrestling prowress! I have been all match. See? She did not need De Sade or Jen. THEY WERE JUST MORAL SUPPORT…REF! Ref should be fired. I see without Sabrina being able to distract Kat with cheap tricks she is getting dominated.
Sabrina… Sabrina… do you not know the wrestling rule of three? You get to use a move THREE times before its worthless. Three slams, three clothelines… etc. And then you gotta’ change it up.
Kat was letting things go her head… guess that kick woke her up.
But, now Mo Chen is curious about the Voting Incentive. If Sabrina goes high – it may be her LAST chance. She messes that up… night night time.
Jeff’s comment in panel 4 explains so much. <Kat> Wait a minute? Why am I doing this? Why am I associating with a low-life like Chloe? I could be noble and loved! I could be…WHAM! Grr, Kat crush you, puny blonde girl!
As for the VI, I smell dramatic climax! Or is that Teen Spirit?
Hmmm – Sabrina has a smirk on her face in the VI – I think that’s good news for her – she needs some about now, anyway… I don’t see how she survived the pile driver, but I’m hoping see can still pull off a win!
here’s one question..
since Maddie don’t like Sabrina.. so she’s cheering for Katherine right? so she is a hell’s belles fan?
have to say panel 2 reminds me of the classic comic book hero villian battle of the heavy hitters where the villian comes out on top and uses the same pose/hair pull to show off their dominance and triumph (of course in the comics usually heavier hitter shows up shortly after. “bwahaha i’ve defeated wonder woman!” “Hi i’m superman”). Kat should’a gone for the pin though.
nice kip up on panel 5 for Brina in vintage HBK-like fashion but kat’s probably one of the few who is tough and strong enough to actually catch the Ultrakick. Got to be a bit disheartening for Brina that Kat’s still got enough in the tank to counter her second biggest move (or 3rd if you count the goglaplata- Ultrasplash still gets top honors in my book) after all Brina’s done to her.
VI has my “DANGER WILL ROBINSON! REF BUMP INCOMING!” senses tingling as brina looks to go for a crossbody.
Thanks jabberwocky. Sabrina’s running out of moves, so she’s going to her patented finisher, which Kat has felt already this match. Maybe that’s why she had the presence of mind to catch it? Shining Wizard is a wicked move, but wouldn’t Kat have to be kneeling for that to work? Kat is showboating partially to antagonize the crowd and showing disrespect to Sabrina, plus she’s used to the Belles being at ringside to take care of any rallies. Now that Jen and Chloe are gone (for now) we’ll see if that sort of thinking backfires on Kat.
Chris, an enzuguri is the time-honored counter to this, I believe. 😉
Darkmark, we know that Sabrina is a fighter so she’s going to give it her all, win or lose. She’s still a chance to become the first ever TV champion and extend her winning streak, going into her match later with Chloe.
MGC, that was worded perfectly about Heels. The ‘next champ,’ comment was meant to imply that she’s the next TV champ. Going after Brenda right now, for Kat, isn’t in the cards. Maddie is most certainly cheering for Kat in this match, but it’s more about cheering against Sabrina, who she in error believes that Sabrina is sleeping around with referees and eyeing up Michael, her fianceé. Maddie definitely is not a Hell’s Belles fan. She thinks there a bunch of dishonest cheaters with weak arms and no work ethic.
Snowy, I think Sabrina appreciates the compliment. XD Kat is only going to get so many chances to pin Sabrina. She might’ve missed out on a pinfall there.
Champ, I’m glad you’re enjoying the action! (I’d say more about it, but I don’t want to give anything away!)
Ken, these are all good observations of yours. Kat is allowing Sabrina to hang around and by doing so, she’s making herself vulnerable to a quick pinfall. It probably will come down to who makes the last mistake.
Vekara, you can bet that if Sun could, she would headhunt Chloe backstage and pay her back for everything she’s done to Sabrina, as well as calling her a ‘halfbreed.’ As for the outcome of this match still up in the air, it can definitely be said that Sabrina is not going to be ready to fight De Sade later on. She’d need at least a week to recover from this one but we know that won’t stop her.
BBD, I dont’ think you’re alone in your admiration of Kat! And Kat is excelling even without the Belles’ ‘encouraging moral support.’ XD
Dyna, I can’t be sure but I think Monica fell to that in her match against Brooke so it seems that anyone can be guilty of it from time to time. Kat’s gotten several wake up calls this match. That could’ve been the one to do it. We’ll see. Monday should be a doozy. 😉
LOL Cookie Ogre! It could be that Sabrina knocked out some sense from Kat! lol As for what you’re smelling, I smell….cookies.
Ghosteraser, she has shown some resilency to the piledriver before, I think page 50 or so. Not that she can shake it off, but for almost 3 panels Kat was showboating and allowing Sabrina to hang around in this match. That’s the big question, can she pull of the win, win the title and extend her winning streak?
jpiv, you’re right on with a lot of your observations. Kat is showing off a little too much at Sabrina’s expense and she got a kick in the skull for it. Maybe someone will show up to help Sabrina out? Not likely. 😛 yeah, Ultrasplash first, then ultrakick and then maybe the gogoplata, though that might’ve been a one-match only kind of move. Bump coming? Almost certainly. 😉
Yeah, beat it to her! You go, girl!
OH my a blocked ultrakick, but first excellent work Bree at playing possum, and no now you need to address the failed ultrakick my dear Bree may i suggest the classic round house kick withthe back leg its a ninja move but your friends with sun so her ninja awesome-ness might have rubbed off on you.
Today’s episode shows why Sabrina will make Chloe quit in their No Rope Barbed Wire Electrified Cage I Quit Deathmatch. That was a piledriver. Sabrina should have been out. Kat should have had time for a three-count even after all of that celebrating. And yet, Sabrina plays possum after taking a piledriver. A piledriver.
Then again, if Kat followed up her field goal/piledriver combo with a pin attempt, would she have really got that three-count? I seriously doubt that. If Chloe has any chance of winning their match, she should trade in the kendo stick for a katana.
Whenever I see stuff like that, it reminds me of John Cena, which is why I make the reference. I can see Sting in the interviews and when she easily believes whatever anybody else says. I see Steamboat in the matches as far as the back and forth flow goes.
But when Sabrina gets hit with some devastating move or gets bum-rushed by several people on the outside (or gets hit with a dumpster lid) only to come back and overcome the odds as if nothing had happened (or can fully heal with only two weeks of rehab so she can pull double duty), the Cena/Supergirl alarm goes off. It can’t be helped.
I love the smell of cookies in the morning! Smells like victory. Sweet vanilla-chocolatey victory!
Trevor, she’s leaning in that direction. XD
Comichero, that is a heck of a counter, and if she’s able, I’m sure she’ll go for it. You’re right; some of that awesome ninjaness must’ve worn off on her by now. XD
JSN, the main event is a cage-I Quit match. The barbed wire deathmatch will be in Season 2. Piledrivers are awesome, but they’re not always the world ender you might suggest they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgdG7VWFrTc I appreciate what you wrote about the comparisons and I think I ought to try and stop convincing you that Sabrina isn’t Cena. I can list a half a dozen other wrestlers that are hard to kill who don’t pander to kids or are in the world title picture. I could cite Lance Storm again about bumps and winning streaks but would it matter? I used to hate Sandman. I don’t care if he could’ve done phoenix splash into a spineroony, there was no way I was going to like him and plenty of friends tried to convince me otherwise. I think I’m doing you a disservice to try the same thing. I respect your opinion and your POV and I’m happy that you’re a Rival Angels reader.
Cookie Ogre, I love the smell of victory!!!
This could end up:
1. Sabrina follow up with Enzuigiri (either normal Enzuigiri or Jeff Hardy style)
2. Kat throw Sabrina feet and Sabrina turns it into Dragon Whip (Shelton Benjamin’s spinning kick)
3. Kat grab Sabrina’s feet and then Ankle Lock
4. Kat follow up with Dragon Screw and then a leg submission (Heel Hold, Half Boston Crab, or even Sharpshooter)
These are all really good ideas and I like that you’re thinking of both girls. I don’t mind telling you that one of these is right. 😉
i like to gawk at kat just asmuch as the next guy i happen to find power very acrative and shes no slouch inthe looks department either but i get the feeling Kat would deny any help from a man
And the word of the day is ‘possum-y.’
