Hi! I know that this is super random but I just wanted to say that you did a really great job on these feud descriptions. I see a lot of theories and opinions about storylines on tumblr and your work is really the best. It is really cool to read these and I think you have a great attention to detail and make things easy to understand. Because sometimes when people see the storylines on tv it can be hard to understand and easy for people to lose the true meaning behind why the superstars are fighting. I love everything about this especially the gifs and subtitles which add such a cool look and feel. Keep up the great work! šš»ā¤ļøOkay Iām done now and thanks for listening to my ted talk. šš¤
The Boss and The Man are very different characters.Ā However their goals and ambitions have always been the same - to be at the top.
āPissed Off For Greatnessā
When Sasha became The Boss in NXT, itās because she wanted centre of attention, to have the spotlight and to be the champion. She was angry that she had been being overlookedĀ and underestimated for so long. She decided that the only way to achieve her dreams was to be ruthless and take down anyone that stood in her way and it worked for her.
Now Becky also had similar frustrations. Her career wasnāt really going anywhere in NXT. She eventually crossed paths with the Boss who gave her an idea: what do you need to do to make it to the top?Ā Becky took that advice an aligned herself with Sasha. Together, they could work together to take out their competition. But there was underlying tension between them.Ā
This alliance would eventually dissolve when they both got a shot at the NXT Womenās Title. Sasha won the championship match, and now she was at the top. And where did that leave Becky? With nothing. They would eventually clash for the title. Sasha didnāt see Becky as her equal. She believed she made Becky. Becky lost the match but that would be her breakout moment. That set the stage for everything thatās happening now.
āGreatness doesnāt need to be goaded into being great.ā
Charlotte, Sasha and Becky got called up to the main roster at the same time. And whilst Charlotte and Sasha had already made names for themselves, Becky struggled to find her place in the division. Opportunities would come and go and Becky would make the best of them, but the spotlight was on Sasha and Charlotte. Becky was always overlooked. An afterthought. She was even told she was the least relevant in the womenās evolution.Ā Sasha and Becky both got the opportunity to face Charlotte for the womenās championship but Becky was the third wheel in that match. Once again an afterthought.
Eventually Becky would get separated from the two women sheās been tied to for the majority of her career. She then became the inaugural Smackdown womenās champion. Finally at the top of her own division, but there was something missing.
She realised what it was when she once again got pushed to the side for Charlotte Flair. āTo be the best you have to beat the bestā. Beckyās frustrations turn her against her former friend and the fans. However, she came to realise that the WWE Universe was on her side. They had been paying attention to her journey. They wanted her at the top. Becky had been holding back because she didnāt want step on any toes. But enough was enough. In NXT, she said she had come into this company to takeover and thatās what she decided to do. This system that had been against her from the beginning. The corporate heads never had faith in her but the fans did. She knew what she deserved. Sheād fought hard to be where she was unlike the Charlottes and Rondas of this world.
With the support of the WWE Universe, Becky is able to take what sheās owed. Sheās grabbed the brass ring and finally at the top of the mountain.
āThe Greatest Woman To Never Be Greatā
Sasha Banksā journey has not been as easy as it looks. Coming to the main roster, Sasha not only craved attention but she wanted the respect of the WWE Universe. And that would be the beginning of a long arduous road for The Boss. Changing her attitude would lead to a series of embarrassing title reigns and wasted opportunities. Sheās in the spotlight and gets to be in all these first-evers but always comes up short. Doing things the right way has not worked out for her.
She also realises that the system has never really been in her favour. Whenever she gets something, it gets taken away because sheās being the good guy. She has been of the backbone division yet been served on the chopping block to women she feels are lesser than her. She is the standard. She is the talk of the division yet no one respects her. No one believes in her and that has messed with her confidence. The tag titles present an opportunity to finally have gold but Sasha knows that just moves her farther away from her goal of being at the top. Being a mid-carder? Thatās beneath her. And when she and Bayley lose the titles at Wrestlemania, thatās the last straw. She decides to take off and let the division fend for itself.
A Worthy Adversary
Now Becky is at the top. On the cover of posters and magazines, sheās the face of the company. But once again something is missing. Sheās beaten Charlotte more times than she can count, sheās taken out Ronda and at this point Lacey Evans is her personal punching bag. Becky has done everything she needs to do. But sheāsā¦bored? Thereās this nagging feeling that thereās something that she hasnāt done yet. What is it? Defeat Sasha Banks.
Sasha Banks has been gone for months but somehow sheās still the centre of attention. The week of Wrestlemania when Becky makes history, all everyone is talking about is Sasha Banks: Where is she? Are the rumours true? When is she coming back? Becky is at the top of now but somehow Sasha is still in her spotlight. Becky needs Sasha to come back. She needs to defeat the woman who always doubted her and never saw her as a worthy adversary. So she goads Sasha, taunts and mocks her for being a sore loser whenever she gets the opportunity. But Sasha never responds.Ā
Now Sasha has been watching Becky. As Sashaās career has been going down a road leading nowhere and Becky has been making her way to the top. Sasha was relegated to a pointless tag team match while Becky got to achieve Sashaās dream of main-eventing Wrestlemania. Sasha made Becky, yet Becky is living The Bossās dreams. Becky is getting everything Sasha ever wanted. Becky has the support of the fans. And Sasha is envious. Sheās played nice for too long. Becky isnāt even on her level but has the audacity to mock her. She needs to come back and take whatās hers.
The Boss vs The Man
These two women have always had to fight for what they wanted. Becky has got to the top because she worked for it and had the fans on her side. And while Sasha initially had more opportunities, sheās lost momentum because she tried to be a people-pleaser. She wanted to be the hero but people saw right through it, thatās why it didnāt work. Becky and Sasha have never been the chosen ones. Theyāve always had to take what they wanted. And now Becky has what Sasha wants. She wants The championship and Beckyās spot. As for Becky, she needs to tick off last thing on her list - Defeating Sasha Banks. The woman who always doubted her and never saw her as an equal.
While Sasha might have made Becky in NXT, Becky became The Man on her own. Sasha hasnāt been The Boss since NXT and now sheās back with a vengeance. That rage that fuelled her in NXT is back. Sheās hungrier and more desperate than ever. Sasha is back for the fame, the money and the glory. Becky is at the top of her list because she has what Sasha needs. She still doesnāt think Becky is her equal. But Sasha has been paying attention. To be the man you need to beat The Man. They have a lot of history together and They may think they know each other but theyāve both changed. Becky is more confident now and Sasha is back in her element.
The Battle For Greatness
Becky has been playing a cat and mouse game with everyone who ever did her wrong. Telling them āget me before I get you.ā That message was for Sasha.
And what does Sasha do on her return? Go after Natalya. She isnāt about to play The Manās games. She has her own plan. Sheās been ignoring Becky for months and she knows itās gotten to her. She knows sheās in Beckyās head. Thatās how she lured Becky out the night of her return. Sasha is still treating Becky like she isnāt worth her time.
The tables have turned. Now Becky believes that sheās made Sasha the top dog. She thinks that Sasha has done nothing of consequence since sheās been gone while sheās been making headlines. Now because of Becky, Sasha is the talk of the town.Ā
Beckyās game worked. Sheās been trying to get Sasha back and The Boss finally took the bait. But Sasha is playing a different game. Something more sinister that she hasnāt revealed yet. Thereās a lot at stake for them and not just the title. Their reputations and their positions. This is a battle for greatness. This is a blood feud and Clash of Champions is only the beginning.
Itās changed the way we learn and research, the way we connect with others, and the way we express ourselves in positive, powerful ways. But itās no secret that these improvements also present us with unique challenges. We can learn new things faster, but sometimes we have to sort through piles of misinformation while we doāand itās not always easy to detect. Weāre able to connect with people we never would have met otherwise thanks to social media, but it can encourage addictive behavior in the apps that keep us connected. Weāre able to express ourselves more easily, but we sometimes overshare in ways detrimental to our careers, reputation, and mental health.Ā
Weāas in Tumblr the companyāare not immune to these challenges. You know it. We know it. And we hear you. We recognize that toxicity and negativity happen everywhere online, even on Tumblr. We are constantly striving to learn and utilize new ways to create a safe place for our communities. Opening up this dialogue to anyone who wants to join is the first step weāre taking in 2020 to foster a more positive, collaborative experience. Over the next year, weāll be rolling out improvements and updates to our platform that improves your experience.Ā
We can all agree that these challenges exist, but letās look out for each other; Teach other people and ourselves how to keep the wonderful parts of the internet in view while working through the troublesome bits. These issues are best addressed through honest, open dialogue.Ā
Thatās why weāve partnered with the UK non-profit, Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel), to help spread some internet safety awareness as well as facilitate some much-needed conversation between yourselvesāthe community on Tumblr.
At the heart of this campaign is, well, you. We want to hear from you. Over the next month weāll focus on six different topics with accompanying videos for discussion. Each one will feature a different real-world problem youāve most likely faced as an Extremely Online Person (yeah, we see you) and what you can do to mitigate those issues. Theyāre live right now:
āFake News, Skewed Viewsā
āDonāt @ Meā (Cyberbullying)Ā
āAuthenticity OnlineāĀ
āPull Down to RefreshāĀ
āFelt Cute Might Delete LaterāĀ
āA Safer Internet: ModerationāĀ
Some posts will be accompanied by Answer Times with guests that can speak knowledgeably about one or more of the topics weāre focusing on. Weāre looking at:
1/8 ā @medialiteracyed taking questions about fake news
1/15 ā @ditchthelabel opening up their ask box to discuss cyberbullying
1/22 ā Jameela Jamil, founder of I Weigh, to answer questions about the effects of inauthentic social media personalities
TBD ā Someone from the leadership team here at Tumblr to talk about user safety
One of the more beautiful qualities of the Tumblr community is that so many of you spare the time and space to look out for others. If you have someone in your life that you think could use a little guiding light to use social media in a safer way for their mental or physical health, this might be a good resource to send them.Ā
