| *Chapter 16* Over the weekend we did two more house shows. Each show I got to valet Jeff out, and it got better every time. I was now completely pumped for tonight's show. It was live television broadcast all over the world. The past weekend I had called everyone I knew to tell them I had signed with the WWE. It had occurred to me on Friday night that I hadn't told anyone what had happened. It was getting close to showtime, and I was sitting out by the entrance watching everyone file in. I went backstage at about seven and helped Jeff with his paint. We were the 5th match of the night, the first match of the second hour, but we had to cut a backstage promo in the first hour to introduce me to the fans. This is how that promo went..... |
| *RVD is walking down the hall looking for Jeff, because they have a match later that night. And Jeff and RVD aren't huge rivals, so Rob was being a good sport by going to wish Jeff luck.* |
| *RVD walks into Jeff's locker room and sees Jeff and an unknown girl painting his arm.* |
| RVD: Hey man, how ya doin?..... Who's your friend? *He eyes me.* |
| Jeff: Uh, this is Jessica. |
| *RVD walks over and starts talking to me.* |
| Jeff: Umm Rob, what did you come here for? |
| RVD: Oh, well I just wanted to wish you lick in tonight's match. I don't know if you've noticed but I've been on a roll lately. So I thought you could use a little luck dude. |
| Jeff: Luck? Rob, I don't need luck, I'm Jeff Hardy, the king of extreme. |
| RVD: Well I'm the king of the frog splash, and I might just use that before I pin you for the three count! |
| Jeff: And you better watch your back because I might just whip out a ladder! |
| RVD: Oh yeah?! |
| Jeff: Yeah! |
| *I could see this wasn't going anywhere good, so I decided to intervene.* |
| Me: Guys, why don't you settle this one in the ring. |
| RVD: Yeah, we're up next Jeff. |
| Jeff: Oh I'm ready! *End* Blackout to commercial.* |
| It was a no disqualification match, so they wanted to use everything. Jeff pulled out the ladders and trash cans, and RVD got out the tables and chairs. At one part in the match RVD wasabout the put me through a table, but Jeff saved me. Throughout the match I'd throw Jeff some objects to use and try to help him. Jeff won the match, abd we did our little celebration in the ringand then headed backstage. Vince was back there to greet us. He told Jeff he loved the match, then asked me, "So how did that feel?" |
| "It was amazing! What a rush!" I said. "Yeah, well it looked great! I liked it! I can't wait to take this storyline farther, I think this is going to be really good." "I hope so! It really felt great out there!" "That's great, just what I wanted. But, you can head back to your locker room and cool off if you want." "OK, thanks Vince." "You're welcome, and again, great job on the match Jeff, I really liked it." "Thank you sir." Jeff said. Jeff and I walked back to the locker room, talking about the match. "Ya know Vince isn't usually that generous with his compliments." Jeff said. "He must really like you." "I hope so. That's the one thing I want most is to please Vince. He's gotta like what I do because I plan on being around for a very long time. Without Vince's approval that wouldn't be anywhere near possible." I said. "Well so far it looks as though you've won him over." We got back to the locker room, changed, put Raw on TV, and just hung out. It was so great to watch them all perform, knowing I was slowly becoming one of them. Trish came to hang out with us after her match which was fun. We talked about her match, and my debut, and everything else. "So how did it feel to be in front of that crowd for the first time?" Trish asked. "Ohh it was so incredible. I absolutely loved it! I wanna do this forver!" I said. "Well I thought it was great. you and Jeff are really cute together! I think you're a great addition to the roster. You're so unique, it's like a breath of fresh air." "Awww well I just hope the fans like me!" "Oh they will, they'll just have to warm up to you. Besides you are with the man of just about every girls fantasies so there might be a little jealousy. But I know they'll come around." "Thanks Trish!" I gave her a hug, and we kept talking. As the show continued on, I'd get random visitors like Kane, Shawn Michaels, Al Snow, Stacy Keibler, and Chris Jericho stopping by to talk. It was nice to see them showing interest in getting to know me. It was also great to talk to Kane again. We had more of a real conversation this time. Everything was going great, I was so happy to be where I was, doing what I had dreampt of my entire life. But I was just getting started, and it was sure to get better from here. |
