Wrestler Info
Wrestler's Name: Dakota Jennings
Alias/Nicknames: The Firecracker
Height: 5'6
Weight: 120lbs
Alignment: Tweener
Hometown: Syracuse NY, by way of Scottsdale, AZ
Description: Dakota is very svelte and has red hair (dyed, her natural hair color is blonde). Her eyes are an emerald green and she can frequently be seen rocking ruby red lipstick.
Having been Cross Recoba's other half, she is always seen, while out and about, wearing the most expensive gowns and dresses, from designers such as Christian Dior and Armani (Having developed a taste during her time with her ex) but when she is at home, you would not even think it was the same person. At home she slouches about in jeans and a t-shirt, usually with some rock band logo emblazoned on the front of it, PS5 controller in hand.
In terms of in ring gear, she wears a sports bra type top with Dakota printed across her chest in a variety of colors and a pair of sports/cycle shorts with the word “Firecracker” emblazoned across her ass, finished off with a pair of black kneepads and a black pair of boots.
Wrestler's Outlook: Dakota is, well, dangerous. She went into contact sport because of two things she likes a lot, hurting people and winning things. She will play to the crowd but she is also not above cheating to get what she wants. Usually, her nefarious antics are cheered by the crowd anyway. She views herself as the ultimate anti-hero. In her real life, she is a very insecure thirty-three-year-old woman who is very concerned that her biological clock is going to give up on her soon, in short, she wants kids eventually.
Background: ... Emily Dakota Jennings is a former MMA fighter and professional wrestler, currently signed to XHF. where she performs under the stage name Dakota Jennings
Early Life
Emily is born to Robert Jennings and Jennifer Jennings (Nee. Barlow), two successful lawyers, in Sottsdale, AZ. Her alma mater is Scottsdale Community College, where she graduated in English Literature and Cheerleading.
After working a series of dead end job, she discovered an interest in MMA and after finding a good school, decided to train with the intention of becoming an MMA fighter.
MMA Career
Emily had her first amateur fight against Chloe LeBeau and won by submission, in the first round, with a rear naked choke. In her second fight, she was submitted and in the process, injured her knee quite badly, curtailing her fledgling career. It was also at this show, however, that she was discovered by a wrestling promoter who told her to try out.
Wrestling Career
Emily took a couple of years out, mostly to rehab the knee injury in preparation for the wrestling career that she had been advised to take, but it wouldn't be until October 2018 that she would sign to a promotion, Valor Pro Wrestling.
Teaming and Feuding with Vannah White
After debuting as a babyface, Emily, now known as Dakota, was booked to appear in a tag team with another young woman, Vannah White but they had limited success after starting a feud with Brooklyn Nights, for the newly inaugurated Chimera Tag Team Championships. During this time, Dakota started properly dating Cross Recoba, both on and off screen and a new darker attitude began to take shape. This led to Dakota turning heel on Vannah, ending her Valor career in the process. This was also the night that the Chairwoman of the VPW gimmick was born.
Various feuds and ReKota
Dakota then moved onto mini feuds with several wrestlers and got into the more intergender wrestling side of things and this would lead to her teaming up with Cross Recoba as a heel tandem known as The Fox and The Firecracker. They would go on to beat The Zombie Clan for the Chimera Tag Titles, during which time, Dakota would start a feud with the Valor GM, Vanessa Byrne.
Vanessa eventually managed to “fire” Dakota but due to her being a champion, she couldn't fire her straight away and Dakota and Cross would continue their newest feud with a team named NSFW. They would defend the titles against NSFW and would win in controversial fashion in their first defense against them, but then on their second defense, ReKota would lose, meaning Dakota would be fired.
Departure from VPW and retirement
The following day, Dakota, out of character tweeted congratulations to NSFW for the title victory and has maintained a solid friendship with both members, turning face in the process. However, in a shocking move, she would announce her retirement from pro wrestling not long after, opting to become a chef and stay at home girlfriend to Cross.
Return to wrestling
After realising that the perfect Creme Brulee was way above her skill level, Dakota opted to return to wrestling early, signing with the AWF in early April 2020. She would go on to win the United States Championship and become the End of Days Tournament winner, solidifying her place in history. She would compete in a Fatal Five Way to earn the right to face Bloodied Fox but would ultimately lose.
Breakup from Cross
Dakota Jennings walked away from the AWF rather acrimoniously after losing out on an opportunity to face Bloodied Fox for the Prestige Title. She quietly retired and began writing about her time in wrestling. Resigning a contract with the AWF, she broke up with Cross Recoba, yearning to wrestle again on her own terms.
Personal Life
Dakota dated Cross Recoba from 2017 until 2021, they remain friends.
