From Cordy’s Diary (June 22, 2024)
“Wrestling fans are fickle sacks of shit. They hate me because I don’t pander to them, but when I did such a thing, they never appreciated it. Do these morons realize that I changed the way I do business because of them? Last I checked, in the first few months of my 5BW Freedom Championship reign, they were starting to slowly drift away from me. The locker room was basically turning on me and ‘management favorite’ was a thing that was going around the locker room all over one stupid endorsement from Meagan that I didn’t ask for. I shrugged it off initially because it was just jealous wrestlers… but by Vet’s Day last year? That wasn’t the case anymore…”
Veterans Day 2023
Cordelia Clark is just wrapping up a photoshoot for a sophisticated, New York based magazine. When the flashbulbs are going off, Cordelia is as ecstatic and as happy as she can be. That happiness stays with her when the photographer tells her it’s a wrap and shows her the portfolio that was just snapped as well as adding on that this ‘brings out the star’ in her.
Cordelia thanks the photographer and leaves the studio, making her way to the green room. The moment she’s alone, that happiness fades in an instant.
“I’m so miserable…” Cordelia thinks to herself. “I don’t know how much longer I can handle all the petty backstage jealousy in 5BW where more people seem to think that I’m only successful because I’m Meagan’s pet. Hayley Fien and her dumbass husband are breathing down my neck with Hayley wanting revenge for me ending her cuck’s career a few months back…”
Cordelia pulls out her phone, not realizing that her boyfriend (now husband) Brian walked into the room and closed the door. She glances at her phone and she lets out a gasp when she comes across an email from a fan…
“I hope someone stabs you and throws you in the gutters of Brooklyn, BITCH! You don’t deserve your success.”
Cordelia feels scared and trapped especially when she clicks on a link the same fan sent her and she sees a wrestling fan forum thread…
Title: CORDELIA IS OVERRATED
Comments? Things such as…
“Cordelia SUCKS! She’s BORING!”
“FUCK CORDELIA! Fucking overrated ass bitch! She’s only Freedom Champion because management wants her to be. They’re trying so hard to make her a THING! Cordelia will never be a THING!”
“I hope Hayley Fien beats her for the title and her husband strips her naked and takes a bunch of pictures to leak on this forum LMAO!”
“Cordelia Clark is why Roe v. Wade being repealed is the worst thing to happen in America! Future births of people like her need to be prevented”
“Cordelia is the biggest tryhard in 5BW! Fuck Meagan for telling us who to get behind! The ‘#STOPCORDELIA” movement where Diana won that award and not her for Rising Star” was a smashing success…”
Cordelia, by the time she reads that last message, is drowned well enough in her own tears. Brian sits next to her and she immediately hands the phone to him.
“...the fans hate me…” she says through her tears. “Look at the email that I got… someone legit WANTS ME DEAD!”
There’s a weird silence in the air when Brian reads through everything and in a fit of rage, he stands up and throws the phone across the room. Cordelia doesn’t have much of a choice to just curl up on his arms feeling as if he’s her only safe space.
“How am I supposed to push through when everyone hates me? I didn’t ask for this. One person in power endorsing me results in death threats and being hated that much?”
“You can’t listen to them, Cordy…” Brian says, trying to reassure her. “Focus on what you have to do. This whole thing with Hayley Fien is stupid. She doesn’t want your title. She wants revenge for Dustin who is behind this whole thing.”
“I can’t do this anymore…” Cordelia whimpers through her tears. “This has gone too far.”
“HELL NO!” Brian exclaims. “I’m not about to let you do that. This is what you want to do! Don’t give a bunch of basement dwelling incels that satisfaction, Cordy. They’re just idiots behind a keyboard. The live audience still likes you quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hayley and Dustin were behind that thread or if one of them emailed you that behind an alt. You can push through this and fight back. To hell with what those people think…”
Brian pulls Cordelia closer to him and holds her as tight as he can.
“In fact, I say to hell with what ANYONE thinks! The fans don’t deserve you anyway. Focus on you and…”
“I can’t just throw ALL fans away. Not EVERYONE feels that way about me…”
“No, but they do take you for granted. That award you should’ve won proves it. You need to say ‘fuck everyone else’ and do this just for you.”
“I can’t do that…” Cordelia says as she sits up on her own again, drying her eyes in the process. “I don’t even want to…”
“Someday you will, Cordy…” Brian warns her, with Cordelia not realizing that this prediction would come to pass just 3 months later. “...and it’s going to be the best thing to happen to your career. I promise you that. Those fans don’t deserve you. That disgusting crap I just read tells me all I need to know.”
“I feel like you’re the only person in my corner and the only one that believes in me right now…”
“I’m all that you need, right?”
Cordelia nods and doesn’t say another word. She curls up into Brian’s arms again and stays in her ‘safe space’ with him, not knowing obviously, that in a few week’s time, that safe space was about to come crashing down.
From Cordy’s Diary (continued…)
“I will never forgive those fans who said what they said about me or anyone else that endorsed that garbage. I remember some of those same fans were HAPPY that Brian was put in a coma. WHY? What did my husband ever do to them? It’s sickening how people in this world are just monsters and over the last few months, I’ve learned just how horrible people really are. I was dumb and stupid to think that people other than my loved ones actually gave a shit about me.
I never deserved to be treated the way I was then…”
June 23
Cordelia’s got the camera on as she finds herself inside of a Caribou Coffee shop in Minneapolis. She’s finishing up writing something anonymously in her diary before she sets it down, looks at the camera and expresses her thoughts.
“After months of anticipation, the NPWA Season Premiere is finally here. I can’t say that there aren’t many people in NPWA that don’t know me by now considering that I caused a stir on draft day for being pissed off about being a bottom 5 draft pick. By the way, if you think I am over that…
…absolutely not…
It was disrespectful, disgusting and a slap in the face to my body of work so far… one that includes 8 total championships, one of them being a world title even and I still just happen to be 25 years old. I’ve dealt with the disrespect from HACKS like Denzel Porter hyping up this show and making it all about the “big names”. I’ve dealt with the snarky bullshit from people like Sean Parker who, from what I’ve studied, was very humble when he first popped up on XWF’s Madness show only to let the fame get to his head and turn him into a narcissistic asshole once he got more exposure saying that I’m not a “big enough name”.
That’s your HERO for you!
But you know… I know what it’s like to want to be that hero…
Only to be fully unappreciated…
If you know my story, you know I tried to be “the sweetheart” and the “good girl” only for the fans to turn their backs on me and hand an award to someone else, only for Hybrid Wrestling to treat me like a fodder to their ‘big names, only for fans to email me saying they hope I get stabbed and left in a ditch to all of these fan forums saying I’m overrated and I’m a management favorite and that I should’ve been aborted and all this other shit!
Well I’ve HAD IT… and let me tell you all one thing. I am NOT in this for anyone else but ME!
I don’t care about conferences and I don’t give a fuck about my teammates.
Sierra Williams, from what I know? She’s take no prisoners. She’s a decorated champion. I don’t like her, but I can at least DEAL with her. Krystal Wolfe? Lord, talk about the living cesspool of the SCW Bombshells Division, right? She’s not the only one…
HI ROXI… FUCK YOU!”
Cordelia pauses and glares with further anger at the camera.
“You’re the epitome of why being the hero is nothing but BULL! People know you exist and people see you as the shining example of what a hero’s supposed to be. But when I was in SCU… SCW’s former sister fed? I saw right through you. I saw how you talked down to other people and acted like everything should revolve around you and hey, I’ve taken a turn down that road but at least I’m honest about it. You? You’re so deluded in your own ego that you don’t realize that for the time you were main eventing and being champion in SCW, you were actually the division’s biggest villain… weighing it down entirely and preventing others from coming up the ranks and keeping that title within the same old shit it was stuck in.
It’s funny how the likes of Julianna DiMaria and Kayla Richards rise to the top and dominate once you’re gone right? Julianna beat your ass and Kayla would’ve done the same had you not decided to FINALLY move on! If someone were to ask me who the fakest, most overrated wrestler in the entire business would be? You’d be top 5.
Hell, that whole TEAM is overrated. Ace Sky? Listen asshole, the only reason why people even know you exist is because you once made an admission on social media of being able to ‘pleasure yourself’. Aside from that, what have you actually done in the business lately? In fact, what have you even done at ALL? You’re a whole bunch of social media presence but also a bunch of ‘nothing else’. You’re a sack of shit that, in my eyes, exists to make everyone else laugh. Go back to fucking up your own career with drugs if you haven’t done so already you wannabe “zen master”. Hell, I listened to your draft vignette when this thing first came about and it sounded like you were on a fentanyl high with so much incoherent rambling.
And finally… speaking of overrated… Tori Colbert… who I recently beat one on one in 5BW so I already KNOW I can take her. Tori, let me be straight with you. You wouldn’t be anywhere near where you are now if you didn’t crawl all the way to Myra Rivers’s doorstep and beg her to take you in as her protege. You’ve admitted that short of that, you were on the verge of being gone from this business. So you accomplish this and that under her wing and you think you’re someone to look out for?”
Cordelia pauses to scoff.
“Girl, you’re a carbon copy of who I USED to be before I smelled the coffee and realized that the fans didn’t give a fuck about me so BEING that wrestler before, I know how to BEAT that wrestler. Hell, go online and I bet you’ll have internet fans going ‘she wouldn’t be relevant if it wasn’t for Myra’. This match will show how far being the “good girl” gets you. If you’re smart enough, which you likely aren’t considering your relatives are filled with deluded morons who feel they’re more important than they really are, you’ll get me and do the same thing I did!
But you’re too naive… too stupid… and frankly not smart or strong or good enough to see the forest for the trees.
Come next Sunday in this amazingly underrated city mind you…
I’ll make EVERYONE in this company look STUPID for thinking that I was just someone to cast aside as a worthless, ‘bottom 5’ pick.
Cordelia takes an angry sigh and resets her composure before she decides to shut off the camera and carry said anger into next week’s tag team match.
