Poor Nick. He never really stood a chance, did he? Any early takers on Xtina putting Sun down in their upcoming match?

We’ve heard from Xtina. Now let’s see what’s going on with Sun and Damage Inc!
Gee, Xtina is awful proud of those things…
Well, at least she’s got her persona down. The thing is, Sun’s going to try to keep it there!
Heh, Got to like Xtina’s confidence. Then again, no one goes into a match saying “I’m going to get my ass kicked” Xtina might be sure of her superiority, but I can almost guaran-damn-tee she’s never been Ninja’d before. Sun’s got speed, high flying skill, and isn’t afraid to bend the rules. Carpenter had better not let her guard down, or she could just get some of that Ninja Mist right in her smug mug.
This is your birthday present to me? Boney, I am disappoint.
No, but in all seriousness, it’s good Xtina is in confidence mode. You don’t go into a match thinking you’re going to get your ass handed to you. That’s bad mojo. But anybody can lose at any time, it’s a fact of life. And she’s never faced Sun before. At least, not that I remember.
Not in the ring that has been shown. They’ve hadn some heat because Sabrina is easily manipulated and can’t leave well enough alone, having Sun come in and play rescue avenger.
I like Christina’s attitude; she’s a hard face and can easily pull off both face and heel.
Damn albone having Xtina look good. In both looks and words. Sun better look out. Xtina though I have never seen her act like this though. I id not know she had this side of her. I like it…a little like sara Valentine. Except better looking and Sara is pretty nice looking in her own right. But the difference is Xtina also has the skills to back it up.
And I bet Damage Inc is telling Sun she has to do this by herself as another imitation. And I for one hope she fails it. As much as I like Sun….I like Xtina just as much more. Sorry Sun…you have not shown me quite enough yet.
Did Xtina do some make over on her bust?
Xtina is great.. I’m a fan of Xtina Carpenter, when I saw her match against Sabrina…
Xtina got talent.. talent that Rival Angels treat her like trash..
and treat trash like ‘ultragirl’ Sabrina Mancini a star..
Sabrina was give a silver spoon in Rival Angels.. whil Xtina use blood sweat and tears..
Hmm… Xtina Carpenter vs. Aphrodite in an Evening Gown match because they are all about their beauty and appearances. I think that would be interesting.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind a little 4 on 1, I don’t know what it is about Xtina but I’m not liking her. She needs Sun to show her some humility by losing due to pinfall.
Hey Lazy T! Look’n good! I’ll keep an eye on the DIncs for ya. You just focus on Sun. You’re going to have your hands full girl!
why is Brenda calling Xtina? Lazy T?
is Xtina Lazy?
and where is Snowkitten?
is she angry.. of the loss?
Did Xtina get a makeover? I’ve never found her particularly good-looking until this segment. And I don’t THINK it’s her sizable assets.
i agree with BBD, this is a side (and angles)of Xtina we haven’t seen before. This must be “face” Xtina that the crowd cheers for. never really got to see it before since most of her time has been spent being catty with Brina. Wonder what hubby thinks of flirty Xtina? answer- whatever she tells him to. love the 5 second pose in the last panel. she does seem a bit “enhanced” since her Brina match- either that or we never got a good closeup of her before this.
though Xtina classic did show up with her “complements” about Sun. And it looks like she’s expecting Damage inc involvement. she’s still hogging the spotlight though, VI still shows her talking to Nick and and not Damage Inc. Somehow i get the feeling Nick couldn’t wait for this interview to end. 😛
Face? With that EGO?
hey she was getting 50-50 cheers in her match with Brina which wasn’t coming across to me based on anything we had seen of her to this point. and she’s being flirty in a non “drool before me because i’m that sexy” way like Brooke and Sara. besides Brina’s not exactly overly humble in her promos either (she waits til’s she’s off camera for all that ;P )
I still don’t like Xtina and I hope Sun kicks her ass. I’d pick a dragon to beat a carpenter.
Well, now we know who Kristin’s next “tramp target” will be. 😉 I think I’m going to enjoy this match, poking a dragon – even a ‘lil’ one – tends to get you burned.
Nobody fears little dragons. And as much as I like Kristin if she tried to tame that wild lass Xtina she will be the one in a world of hurt.
Oh, come on. We all know Krystin’s next target has to be Brooke. Brooke is much sluttier than Xtina, even with this little display factored in.
Also, a little dragon is still a dragon. Sun may be small, but she’s mean! I’d favor either Sun or Krystin in a match against Xtina. Experience is the only thing Xtina really has over them. Both of the named rookies have cleverness, ferocity, and determination enough to put Xtina down, just like the Upstarts’ banner girl, Sabrina!
Brooke wouldn’t do as well, though. She’s got the power, but Xtina would beat her through ring smarts and technique, eight times out of ten.
I agree on BBD..
all Sun know is the word “Ninja’d”
Dragon why would Xtina target Brooke when she has her eyes set on taking the TV title from Kat Smith?
Krystin and Sun have cleverness, ferocity, and determination over Xtina? As much as they have Xtina has even more. Didn’t Lil Dragon already tap out to Code Red? And Krystin and her moves are just not ready for Xtina. She could barely beat Valantine in a brawl….in a technical match? No way.
KRYSTIN’S next target. Y’know, the one who is charged with beating up the trampy elements of Rival Angels? She asked the boss if she’d have to go after Brooke, and the boss treated it as self-evident.
Krystin and Sarah’s match was, as you said, a brawl. Sarah’s strength. She’s a bad girl rule-breaker, so a brawl was to her advantage. A technical match against Xtina would be much more the type of fight she wants. It’d be a great match, but I still think Krystin would come out ahead.
As for Sun vs Xtina… we’ll see! Sun’s tricky and mean. I’m still giving her the nod, against an opponent that Sabrina’s already beaten.
Nicely done art.
Xtina’s arrogance might be an expected part of the show, but she’s vamping it up like Brooke or Sarah, which irritates me. And the “out of Sun’s control” bit turns me off too. I hope Sun wrecks this clown.
Me <3 Xtina ^^ She is awesome
Yeah I don’t like her personality and hope she gets ninjad inside of five seconds..
VI is still showing the previous one, Bossman… and part of me likes this Xtina attitude shift – kinda’ like Velvet Sky’s new attitude on TNA.
I’m hearing a lot of *talk* there, Xtina. What it comes down to? Blah blah blah. Go Sun! 🙂
Maybe a clue to what happens in the match on Page 445.
On the 2nd to last panel Sabrina predicts the finish of the Krystin / Sara match complete with a shot of Sara surrendering.
On the last panel Sabrina predicts the Sun /Xtina outcome with a shot of Xtina wilting on the mat in Sun’s sleeperhold.
Xtina gave up before getting knocked out by Sabrina in a match. If Sabrina’s prediction is right it looks like she’ll be on the verge of getting knocked out again. Xtina talks tough and she can dish it out in the ring but Sabrina proved she can’t take it. Xtina will give up to Sun.
