iโve been seeing discourse online abt the jade v. rhea match at wrestlemania and itโs gotten rlly ugly. however, i feel like itโs important to address of part of the conversation that is being underrepresented. letโs just be real : there is real evidence (which is posted below) of rhea ripley being racist. that is FACT. you can argue all you want, but posting abt BLM once doesnโt exempt you from accountability.
there are fans in the IWC, black fans especially, that donโt like rhea bc of that. that is extremely valid. to add onto their frustrations, rheaโs fans are extremely racist. iโve seen rhea fans go under tweets of black fans and call them n words, โmonkeysโ, and so much more insane shit. so i can understand why there may be some vitriol thrown at rhea ripley. do i condone it? no, but i get it.
i ignored all of the social media foolishness leading up to rhea vs jade bc i thought it was just used to add heat. but, looking back, it puts a sour taste in my mouth abt rhea ripley as a person. rhea ripley has gone on interviews saying she doesnโt like the 4th wall being broken and her character being tarnished. HOWEVER, sheโs also gone on other interviews saying cargill is โinexperiencedโ and โnot used to the businessโ. purposely going out of kayfabe to tarnish another personโs credibility. if thatโs not enough, rheaโs friend and husband have been taking shots at jade cargill - which is weird as fuck. iโm not a fan of ripley or cargill. i do support and show kindness to all black wrestlers simply out of kinship, but cargill is not my fave. with that being said, itโs deeply upsetting how GROWN men and women are targeted and bullying cargill.
and then on top of that, the fans of these grown men and women are antagonizing jade. rhea ripley openly speaks on her mental health struggles but actively contributes to the decline of someone elseโs? does that make sense to yโall? i hate to see black women targeted and bullied, that shit has got to stop. black ppl have existed for centuries and will continue doing so, either get with it or get over it. simple! and thatโs for the fans of rhea ripley and rheaโs family/friends. this shit is starting to piss me off.
like the difference in jade taking a lost versus rhea โcelebratingโ? you mean to tell me you win a championship and the FIRST thing you do is send your goons after the person you beat?

"Heel Randy!" "Randy turned on Cody!" WRONG! You're not paying attention to the actual story Cody and Randy are telling!
Cody came out there and told Randy how much he loves and respects him and Randy responded by telling him his hesitations, how it was supposed to be easy, it was supposed to be Drew he beat for the title, not Cody, and Cody got up and he told him he wanted to face HIM, he needs to defeat the devil on his shoulder, he doesn't want to face Nice Guy Randy, he wants to face the VIPER, Randy at his most dangerous, and only after Cody told him "I'll ALWAYS love you" and gave him the permission he needed, Randy gave him what he was asking for, knowing when it's over Cody will still love him.
He delivered the worst of himself, the final boss version of Randy for Cody to defeat to prove to himself he can after EVERYTHING that version of Randy has put him through over the last 20 years, it was an act of love, it was beautiful, and I'm so excited to see where it goes from here!
Nothing to see, just some post work rambling about my OC's.
Content summary - basically their progression from their rookie/training years to the big leagues. Only hidden cuz I'm still shy โบ๏ธ
Also confirming at the jump that these are all WWE 2K25 screenshots, I'd rather chew my own toes off than use any sort of artificial intelligence xoxo
I've mostly finalized Anna and Casey's character designs from when they were initially training and I'm honestly really enjoying their story progressions and development. This may be a little scattered and all over the place but I thought I'd at least write a general description of events. I'm eventually going to make one giant lore post about each of them, but this will do for now.
Starting with the OG, the Winged Cobra herself, Anna Condor.
Leanna Jean Runnels (born August 15, 1996) starts her training years with this notion that she needs to conform to the system and avoid the use of her wrestling family lineage in order to succeed. She starts training around the end of 2014, which in the US wrestling scene was the height of the Divas era. She conforms: she wears the tiny shorts, the glittery French tip nails, styles her hair and makeup like the other girls, and even uses a stylized version of her birth name to come off more feminine to general audiences. She'd blow kisses to the crowd and do a spin or two on the way to the ring, because that's what she thought got people interested in the women when she first started. Wrestling as Leigh Anne was suffocating, to say the least. But one day, something snaps in her. After a promo where the masses described her as "uncharacteristically venomous", she realizes that the women she looked up to in the sport - Alundra Blayze, Bull Nakano, Jazz, too many others to list - never conformed like she was. They pushed the envelope, stayed true to themselves as strong, hard hitting women, and used it as their way to stand out. So she ditched the small shorts and the perfect hair and makeup and opted for a look more true to her. She felt less stiff, less like a performer, almost like shedding a rotted layer of skin, and she truly felt something similar to rebirth in that moment. She allowed herself to have bloody bouts, leaving the ring with ugly scars and blood soaked hair, but she never felt more alive than the day she let her old persona go and just be herself. Her entire story arc has been finding authenticity despite the laws of the land, and that journey was allowed to begin once she shed the last remnants of Leigh Anne and became Anna Condor.
And next is the Southern sweetheart, Casey McKay.
Casandra Elise McKinley (born March 22, 1994) worked three jobs just to get the down payment for training school, and dedicated every waking moment not working to training. She began her training in 2012, loving and fully embracing the Diva aesthetic. Casey McKay has always been the girl's type of girl, the one ripped out of a Cosmopolitan magazine, dripped in the most trendy fashion and effortless beauty routines. She's 6'1", did powerlifting in high school, and knew she could compete with some of the guys if given the opportunity. A coach saw this in her and allowed her to start training with the men, learning how to capitalize on her strength and stature for maximum effect. And when she finally started competing in the ring, she quickly got the nickname of "Sweet Heat" - she's going to be nice and sweet as a baseline, but will set your ass on fire if you're standing in the way of what she wants. Many promotions tried packaging her as the newest copy and paste version of Nia Jax or Tamina Snuka, or even Chyna, these angry, brooding, merciless loners whose jobs were to look like walls of adversity that, at times, devalued those women's talents and accomplishments. She refused to allow this to be where her character went - she didn't want to be a supporting act. She wanted to be a star. And though some of her choices have steered her on unexpected and less-than-moral pathways, she can rest knowing that every moment in the ring and every win she gets has been earned by all the hard work she's put in. If Anna's is the story of anti conformity, Casey's is one of embracing conformity while bending it to your best interest.
And yes, if you were wondering, Anna and Casey first bonded during wrestling training over their love for Victoria, a woman who embraced the beauty standards of her era and also beat the shit out of everyone.
I hope you enjoyed this little dive into my babies!! ๐ฉท
this how yk im not mentally well cuz why is the hottest thing roman has done was slamming aj styles into the ring barricade during extreme rules 2016.. and that razors edge into the powerbomb yea.. me next !!
i havenโt watched wwe for a hot min (for obvious reasons) but i caught a glimpse or two of snme..
are we as a society gonna be released of the samoan mind control? the fact that punk has 8 yrs on jey and still managed to perform better is crazy. a near 50 year old man.. that neck breaker?? yea. and then hearing black superstars explicitly talk abt code switching for job security but you have j*cob f*tu n his litter of a family speaking in a washed up blaccent everytime theyโre on tv. i have no issue wit the bloodline but at some point we have to be serious๐ญwe have actual black wrestlers losing opportunities and screentime to bhad bhabies henchmen. thatโs not crazy to yโall?
