Shean Christopher (@SheanChrist) on seeing Ravenna Vein (@ravennavein_) win the ACTION Women's Futures Showcase Tournament: “Really, dude, it was awesome to see her make it all the way to the end and win the Sherry Barnes Fighting Granny Trophy. It’s an awesome trophy to have. Firstly, I think that’s so awesome to be the Fighting Granny Champion. But I know how much it meant to her. She felt like almost the scene- I don’t know, dude. I don’t want to gas her up too much; it’s my wife, and I feel like I’m swayed. But I feel like there was a shift in the scene for women’s wrestling in this area when Ravenna Vein said, ‘F**k it, I’m going to be a full-time wrestler. I’m done playing. I’m going to be a full-time wrestler.’ I feel like something shifted and people’s attention changed. It already did. It already was. I’m not discounting all the women who came before Ravenna Vein and saying she’s like the trailblazer, the greatest women to ever wrestle; I’m not saying that. Not trying to say that. Just saying, there was a bit of a shift in the air, and I think it’s just that Ravenna Vein was bringing up conversations that nobody wanted to bring up. She was bringing up subjects that made people uncomfortable and being like, ‘Hey, why are women not in these scenarios?’ or ‘Hey, why are women not being presented the way they should be presented?’ It’s responding. New South Pro Wrestling has a Women’s Champion for the first time, and it didn’t happen- no offense to New South Pro Wrestling, but it didn’t happen because they wanted it to. It didn’t happen because they thought of the idea. It happened because Ravenna Vein said it should, and someone helped make that shit happen. Shoutout to Ravenna Vein for making a Women’s Championship at New South. Shoutout to them for doing it. They could have just said, ‘F**k you, no women’s championship.’ But they made it happen too. Ravenna Vein made a little shake-up about the ACTION Futures Women’s Championship too; now there’s a Future Women’s Showcase Tournament. For her to be the one to win the first one. I think it’s very important. She has been the one to bring up all these conversations that nobody wants to have and ask these questions that nobody wants to ask, like, ‘Why are women not doing the things that you say we are capable of doing? If you say we’re capable of doing it, give us the opportunity to do it.’ She went out there and did it. I’m so proud of her. She’s awesome. She more than backs up all the shit she talks about. In all these scenarios where she’s like, ‘Why aren’t you giving women a chance?’ Then they give her the chance, and it’s like, Jesus Christ, you’re right; why have we not been doing this already? It’s not only for her. She advocates for so many women and has for years and years and years, before she even wrestled, and continues to do so for so many women, behind the scenes at so many places. So, it’s cool that she gets her flowers. I think it’s well-deserved. To be a part of the moment, I’ll say it’s cool as well. It wasn’t my idea. I’ll say, I was going to wait until she got to the back and give her a loving hug and kiss and stuff. I’m not here to make this shit about me. It’s never about me. I don’t want it to be about me. But Jaden Newman said, ‘Go kiss your damn wife.’ I was like, ‘You know what, dude, I am going to go kiss my damn wife.’ I don’t give a shit that there’s a camera or all of these people here. That’s my wife, and I’m proud of her. I don’t want to have to wait until she gets to the back. I want to go pick her up right now and tell her how proud I am of her. I’m going to do that. I’m glad that Jaden Newman was the voice of reason in that moment. I was just going to wait and do whatever, but he finally cleared my brain out. Said stop thinking about the scenario and how you’re going to be perceived. You love your wife, go hug your wife, and tell your wife you love her. So, I was happy I got to do that. She very much deserved it; she took a crazy powerbomb to the apron that made me think she died in that match. I almost hit the ring, dude. I was like, it’s no DQ, maybe I can go jump Clara Carter for doing that powerbomb. But, oh man. Yeah, so that was scary. She made it through. She fought through. Fought like hell. She’s tough as nails. I know she is. So, I’m very proud of her. She’s awesome. She deserves everything. I’m happy to see her get even a little bit because she deserves so much more.” @pwponderings pwponderings.com/2026/09/02/…
