Historical.
That's really the best way to describe this feud.
Rando's CVE was a character he had handled long before coming to SGW with her and he used that experience to capture the Women's Championship at Mile High Madness, the third show of our return. SGW had never had a women's division prior to the 2019 return, and women's matches were incredibly rare, period, in previous e-fed incarnations. So having a champion like Rando be the standard-setter for the division was a reassuring thing for a new e-fed creating a new division. All Von Eerie needed was a notable foil.
Enter Jinny.
Ailly came to us from Lariat with Jimmy Havoc, but had a pedigree of writing in the women's division herself. Joining as Jinny, the perfect heel for the rebellious Christina Von Eerie emerged. We just had to find the right time for their paths to cross.
And then Card Subject to Change happened.
We warned everyone to RP "like your match is a title match" due to the unpredictable nature of the show. No one knew their matches ahead of time but us, so you were assigned to swing for the fences and see what happened once results went up. Ailly did, and unbeknownst to her and Rando both, she hit a home run and captured the Women's Championship. We talk about Card Subject to Change as "the show that broke Rando," as he was on such a tear and just got flatlined without knowing what was coming and never really recovered. We still feel awful about how the dust settled on it to this day, but with any story, there's always a redemptive finish.. It just takes some time.
Jinny went on a tear from there, holding the title for 169 days and vanquishing numerous challengers in her path, including Christina Von Eerie in the long-awaited rematch at WrestleBrawl 3 in a death match. At the time, we didn't know it, but it was Rando's last match with CVE until SGW Forever, as he no-showed his next match after WrestleBrawl. It was the first feud in the women's division and what a way to start. Nothing since has been on that level as two completely contrasting characters butting heads made the Women's World Championship IMPORTANT and something worth fighting over in its own division. We had a lot of fortune in that era of SGW, but nothing more than Ailly and Rando being there to establish the women's division as a competitive beast.
Jinny finally lost the championship to Io Shirai one day after overtaking Edge and Christian for the (then) longest title reign in SGW history, but for a chance to regain it, she shortly thereafter found herself in a Gold Rush Match on the final show of that era against a handful of top-tier talent... And the returning Christina Von Eerie.
It was only fitting to see CVE pin Jinny to capture the championship for the second time on what we all assumed back then was the final show in SGW history. The first Women's Champion made a heroic return and Rando gave it all he had, returning back to rare form, and captured the belt against a lot of great writers while also exercising his demons against Ailly in the process. SGW went out on a high note, and Rando was able to end his run with Von Eerie just as he started with her in SGW - on top as SGW Women's World Champion.
Comments From Josh: "This is probably the only clearly defined women's division feud in SGW history. Sure, Tessa Blanchard and Rhea Ripley had a friendly back and forth series, and Jinny and Io Shirai had a brief rivalry, but it was Jinny and Christina Von Eerie that really showed everyone how serious and competitive the women's division could be. I wanted to save Jinny's debut for Card Subject to Change, specifically to have her face Von Eerie. I figured that it would be a great way to start the feud, no matter who won. Ailly and Rando are two of our best writers and when they're on, they're out for blood. It hurt pulling the plug on Von Eerie's reign at Card Subject to Change because I know how much it meant to Rando. The rematch at WrestleBrawl 3 was just as bad because the match was so close but Ailly just edged him by a bit. We lost Von Eerie for a while after that, but he brought her back from the shadows for SGW Forever. It was awesome getting to write Von Eerie facing down Jinny one more time, with Von Eerie finally pulling out all the stops to beat Jinny with her own move. I doubt we'll ever see Von Eerie vs. Jinny in an SGW ring again, but if we do, I know I'll be proud to write it."
Comments From Drew: "Sometimes the cards really just line up perfectly. Christina Von Eerie was never a woman I expected to have in our women's division, but grew to love her for her very original, punk-rock style that Rando presents perfectly. Of course, Ailly would join as the militant fashionista Jinny, and there could really be no better Joker to CVE's Batman (or is that Batman to CVE's Joker?). These two are writers I always love to read and I was delighted to know their storied rivalry will join the annals of SGW history, as it rightfully should. CVE and Jinny are truly the best kind of rival you can imagine - who's perspective on life is right? It's all a matter of opinion. Jinny's maliciousness came through beautifully in the stories we all wove together and I think CVE's eventual triumph was made all the sweeter knowing how hard CSTC hit Rando. I'm proud of this story and glad it's being honored as it is."
Comments From Rando: "I don't have any big thoughts on that, other than Ailly fucking terrifies me. I always felt like Jinny, the elitist snob, and CVE, the iconoclastic punk, made a lot of sense as a feud. I was truly gutted when CVE lost at Card Subject to Change, but only really had myself to blame. I also have no regrets, because when we rematched at WrestleBrawl 3, I definitely felt the weight of it and wrote what is one of my favorite CVE roleplays, if because it dug into both her own sense of self. But Jinny is an interesting enigma of a character to roleplay against, because she has the elitist angle, but is also ruthless in her style and approach, so she's obviously not a pushover. I don't know, I feel like CVE was constantly being thrown at things, and Jinny was always the run that got my blood hot as a writer. Even going into the final Gold Standard, my whole angle of writing was that CVE had all these demons she had to exercise, once and for all, and Jinny was number one on that list. My only regret ever is that Ailly didn't get out a fully fleshed out RP for that one, so I'll never know if I would have come out on top against her best."
Comments From Ailly: "So Jinny vs. Christina Von Eerie just feels like a perfect feud. These two are such polar opposites - posh, proper Jinny and rough around the edges, jagged Christina Von Eerie? It practically wrote itself. That sparks conflict, and makes for an interesting clash of ideologies which is what I feel the most successful feuds in real wrestling, or fictional wrestling, are driven by.
Jinny made her debut at Card Subject to Change in January of 2020, and the premise was akin to a Progress Unboxing show. It's tough to write a rp when you don't know what type of match you're in, when you don't know who your opponent is, essentially it just comes down to writing an interesting display of who your character is - and that was my first task with Jinny. I've never played her before - even in LARIAT, she was a NPC handled by someone else in the role of Women's GM. It made for an especially interesting show because you had no idea where your character was going to be on the show, what type of match they would be in, and I think CS2C is still one of my favorite shows in my many, many years of efedding for that reason. It was something you had to watch like a legitimate show because you didn't know where your character would pop up, if it was going to be a cameo or a big role - and I remember reading the show, top to bottom, and thinking to myself "okay, A, B, and C was on the booking list, they were used in this spot, and this spot... where is Jinny?"
Then there was one match that remained that I could see Jinny fitting in. That's when I saw that Jinny got put in a Women's Championship match on her debut. And I remember being just absolutely panicked, because Rando's CVE was just this unstoppable monster and in LARIAT? I had hit a real wall. My Alexa Bliss just could NOT beat Dave's Becky Lynch. So, I had some baggage I was carrying, a lot of self-doubt in my writing abilities - especially with the women characters and this being someone I was brand new to writing, and I remember being worried and thinking "oh my god, my RP was SO terrible, I'm going to lose DECISIVELY in my first outing with Jinny?!"
And then she won... and I think I re-read the match a few times and even refreshed the page to make sure I read what I read. And I was getting these messages that people really liked my Jinny RP, which absolutely shocked me. And I remember the worry setting in after the disbelief, of "oh my god I did something here, how am I going to keep the steam rolling?" Rando really brought out a lot of fun one-liners from me for Jinny, because there's just such a contrast in their characters.
I think the LOA that Rando took actually helped the feud more. It's always so fun to see a villain like Jinny think she's won, and then "oh, the problem I underestimated is back when I least expected it." So when Christina got her second title reign, it was such a feel-good moment where she got to triumph, and I feel like absence really made the heart grow fonder for CVE. And I think my favorite arc is The Highers getting together with Dos Ice Creams, and having their little cone children... I don't know how that works biologically, but I thought it was very wholesome and sweet and I could definitely see them living happy lives without Jinny in them. This was a fun feud, and a surprising one for me. It gave me confidence at a time where I really needed it after losing to Dave for months and months and months at a time in a stagnant division (though to be honestly it was probably just the span of 2 or 3 shows that took forever to write) and gave me a character I really love to play, who surprisingly is ingrained very deeply in the fabric of this efed. I'm so grateful she got to hit the ground running in a rivalry that so many people, myself included, enjoyed."
