Everything that Hadley had trained for up till her start in OCW had been accomplished. She had been the women's champion, she had driven the sluts out, among other things. What more could she ask for? Oh right..a second women's championship. Yes that was the thing that Hadley wanted more than anything now that she had surpassed all of her goals. The best part was there wasn't anything in her way of accomplishing this goal. I mean sure some people would say that Jade Taylor was in her way but Hadley saw it differently. To Hadley Jade had nothing, she had not talent and certainly didn't have a way with words that would accomplish anything. Hadley knew how to talk her way into and out of things and she certainly knew how to make her opponent feel on edge. It was something that Jade Taylor would never be able to do. There were of course some people that had their doubts, and maybe they had a good reason but as far as Hadley could see there was no reason for her to lose to a complete nobody..not again at least. Jade Taylor had finally broken her silence and talked...for hours. Mainly about the same thing, "I'm Jade Taylor, I'm different, I can beat you. Yes we can!" blahblahblah! She must think she's Barack Obama. Oh being the underdog must be such hard work. The best part was Jade was STILL talking about how Hadley had been handed the title. She must not pay much attention either since Hadley got her name "The Queen of OCW" at April Anarchy when she proved why she had been given the championship in the first place. Oh well though, Jade had simply overlooked the fact, maybe because it made her feel better about the match or maybe just because she was talking out of her ass about things she didn't know. The point is Jade was handed a shot at the title and shouldn't really be talking. However she probably overlooked that what with her busy schedule of bashing on Hadley. Either way though Hadley had a few bashing tricks up her sleeve too. She might not have wasted her time on listening to Jade's promos but she still had things to say about the little wanna-be. After all her name was Hadley Harper when didn't she have something to say about someone or something else. It was a wonder she hadn't talked more up to this point. Sure she was disapointed that she wasn't going to be able to go up against Trish Dominique but she had enough on Jade to want to go up against her. Either way this match was going to swing in the favor of Hadley Harper, she would make damn sure of that.
It was 2:00p.m and Hadley had just woken up. She had made her way into the hotel bathroom and showered. Now she just sat on the bed in a towel staring at the TV. There wasn't much on but even if there was Hadley wouldn't have noticed. She was in a sort of daze. Wrestling was Hadley's life and when she had a big match coming up there was barely anything else she thought about. She couldn't stop thinking about how she was going to beat Jade or what she would do if Sophia decided to fall in Jade's favor completely screwing over Hadley. Hadley shook her head laughing to herself.
Hadley Harper; Oh hell she couldn't even win with that.
Yes, Hadley Harper had no doubts in her mind that after Immortality was over she would be a two time women's champion. She pushed herself up off the bed and stood looking at the mirror behind the TV. Her hair was still wet and she could see some of the scars that she had gotten from the ring on her body. It wasn't something that she was ashamed of those. She carried those scars like they were championships as well she was proud of who she was and she was even somewhat proud of the losses she had suffered. Sure she didn't want them to happen all of the time but she wasn't going to throw a complete hissy fit over them. She walked over to her open suitcase. She picked through it to find out what she wanted to wear. She threw a pair of jeans on the bed along with a shirt. She let her towel drop to her feet as she slipped on her pair of boy shorts and snapped her adorable pink bra into place. She then strolled over to the bed grabbing the pair of jeans she had just thrown. She slipped them on, and then grabbed her shirt slipping that on as well. A few seconds after Hadley's cell phone began to ring. Her head turned towards the phone a little surprised at the sound of it. She quickly made her way over to it picking it up and checking the call. She smiled and opened it up pressing it to her ear.
Hadley Harper; Hey cunt.
Hadley giggled a little to herself.
Heather Mackenzie; Cunt wow! Thanks bitch, what are you doing?
Hadley took a second to look around.
Hadley Harper; I have been relaxing...
Heather Mackenzie; Okay call it that if you will. Come get food with me.
Hadley laughed to herself.
Hadley Harper; How can I?
Heather Mackenzie; Shut up bitch I know you're in New York.
Hadley laughed once again.
Hadley Harper; You're a stalker.
Heather Mackenzie; You're only my favorite OCW Diva!
Heather's voice had sarcasm in it but Hadley didn't care. She looked at the clock once again and then shrugged her shoulders.
Hadley Harper; Okay whatever, I need to blow dry my hair but if you wanna catch a cab to the Hilton that's where I am.
Heather Mackenzie; Oh honey I'm one step ahead of you. I'm in the cab so get yourself dolled up fast cause I'm almost there.
Hadley let out a little sigh.
Hadley Harper; Okay whatever, bye.
Hadley shut her phone without waiting for a goodbye from Heather. She set the phone back down on the table and continued on her way. She walked into the bathroom and blow-dried her hair. She got done and started to apply her make-up. There was a knock on the door. Hadley rose her eyebrow as she looked at herself in the mirror. She set down her mascara and walked out of the bathroom towards the door. She opened it up and looked at Heather.
Hadley Harper; Jesus, you even knew my room number?
Heather shrugged her shoulders and walked past Hadley.
Heather Mackenzie; Honey I used to be a porn star those little boys down at the desk were happy to give me the room number of another girl.
Heather turned to look at Hadley as she shut the door.
Hadley Harper; Oh god.
Heather Mackenzie; You know you want me.
Heather giggled to herself and Hadley shook her head. She started to walk back into the bathroom.
Hadley Harper; Sorry, I'm almost done.
Heather laid down on the bed.
Heather Mackenzie; So what has Hadley been up to?
Hadley looked at herself in the mirror as she continued to put her make-up on.
Hadley Harper; Well not as much as I would hope. In order for Klein to get his Grand slam championship they had to take it away from me.
Hadley shook her head as she looked into the mirror.
Heather Mackenzie; Oh yeah I read something about that. By read something I mean that I heard someone else say it at work.
Heather chuckled to herself.
Hadley Harper; Yeah well anyways we have the pay-per-view this week and I have a match against Jade Taylor. Which is why I'm in New York and not in Greece where the show is going to be held, cause I'm doing press over here for that.
Heather Mackenzie; Yeah I know that's how I knew you were in town.
Hadley finished up and stepped out of the bathroom leaning on the wall.
Hadley Harper; When are you getting a real job?
Heather laughed as she sat up.
Heather Mackenzie; A real job? I do what you do bitch.
Hadley Harper; Yeah in a nothing federation, you should go for a big one. Instead of one that stays in New York all the time.
Heather shook her head.
Heather Mackenzie; I'm perfectly happy where I am.
Hadley shrugged her shoulders.
Hadley Harper; Whatever, we can talk more about this on the move.
Heather Mackenzie; Damn right. I'm starving.
Heather got to her feet. Hadley grabbed her purse and the pair made their way out of the hotel room. A short time after they left they arrived at a small deli like restaurant on the upper eastside. Heather walked in first holding the door open as Hadley followed her inside. Some heads turned to look at the two women that were oddly good looking. Heather led Hadley to a small table sitting almost in the corner. She took a seat and Hadley took the one that was across from her.
Hadley Harper; So people know you here I assume?
Heather Mackenzie; I don't know who knows me, all I know is that a lot of people watch porn and wrestling and I just happen to be apart of both worlds. Maybe they recognize you hot shot.
Hadley laughed sarcastically as Heather scrunched her nose poking fun at her.
Hadley Harper; If they don't now they will after this weekend.
Heather chuckled a little to herself.
Heather Mackenzie; Well aren't we just a little conceited little thing?
Hadley Harper; No honey it's confidence trust me.
Heather Mackenzie; Whatever like you would know the difference.
Hadley shook her head.
Hadley Harper; You can't get to the top without both of them trust me. I mean look at me, there hasn't ever been an ounce of doubt in my body when it comes to wrestling. It's my thing especially when it comes to wrestling in the OCW. That's what wins you matches.
Heather Mackenzie; Hell all this time I thought it was talent.
Hadley laughed.
Hadley Harper; Well obviously it takes that too. What I meant is that you have to have talent along with the ability to work yourself up to other people, make them know that you know what you're doing and make sure that you are always confident in yourself. Even if other people tend to think that you're conceited because those people are too nice anyways. Honestly I don't find being "conceited" to be a problem but maybe that's just me.
Hadley shrugged her shoulders.
Heather Mackenzie; No it's not just you.
Heather nodded at Hadley. Finally a young boy made his way to their table.
Waiter; What can I get you ladies?
Heather and Hadley share a look, they hadn't even glanced at the menu yet. Heather looked back to the waiter.
Heather Mackenzie; I'll just take a salad, the house salad. And a water.
The waiter nodded and looked at Hadley.
Hadley Harper; I'll have the potato soup, and an iced tea.
Hadley nodded towards the waiter as he wrote it down and walked off. Hadley looked to Heather.
Hadley Harper; So when did you decide to become anorexic?
Heather chuckled.
Heather Mackenzie; When did you decide to be a bitch?
Hadley Harper; When I decided to be a wrestler.
The pair laugh a little and continue on their little get together. After a hour or so they finish up. The waiter makes his way over to their table grabbing their finished plates.
Heather Mackenzie; So you really think you're going to win that title?
Hadley looked to Heather for a second and thought about it.
Hadley Harper; Yeah, I really think I am. I mean there really isn't a reason why I shouldn't. I deserve that title more than her and I damn sure am better than her. There isn't a doubt in my mind that I can handle what it going to be coming at me from this little twat. I mean honestly Heather she has nothing to offer. She has no talent and she sure as hell doesn't have a personality. I mean she's so serious about everything and trust me I know how to be serious, I'm serious about what I'm doing but I don't talk in monotone like that bitch does. Honestly I can't stand to listen to her, she's like the female Lance Storm. You thought nothing could be more boring than him, you should listen to Jade talk. It's not bad enough that she has to do an interview and then go out into the ring, but she has to say the same things in both places? It's just annoying.
Hadley shook her head and shrugged her shoulders.
Heather Mackenzie; Well that's classic Hadley for ya, nothing's good enough.
Heather smiled.
Hadley Harper; Yep, you know me.
Hadley nodded her head. The two continued to talk for a little bit longer. Hadley finally looked at her phone to check the time. She looked back to Heather.
Hadley Harper; I have to get going.
Heather pouted her lip sarcastically.
Heather Mackenzie; Okay hot shot. I'll check you out tonight.
Heather winked at Hadley and the two got to their feet sharing a hug. Hadley made her way out of the deli to catch a cab. She finally showed up at the NBC studios. Hadley looks out the window as they reach the studios to be greeted by a red headed woman. The red headed woman reached into the cab handing the driver money and before Hadley can open the door she opens it for her. Hadley steps out.
Hadley Harper; Uhh..thanks.
The red headed woman simply nods.
Red headed woman; You're Hadley Harper correct?
Hadley nods her head.
Red headed woman; Alright just follow me we're going to studio 6A.
Hadley nodded her head and followed the woman. The studio wasn't too far away. When they entered the building they weaved through hallways and up and down staircases until finally they came to the area they needed to be at. The red headed woman opened up the door to a room that read "Guest 1 dressing room". Hadley laughed a little to herself. She walked inside looking around seeing that a team was already there to dress her and style her hair.
Red headed woman; Alright looks like everything is set. If you need anything my name is Jamie Taylor and I would be glad to get it for you. There are two hours till taping.
Hadley Harper; Alright thanks Jamie.
Jamie nodded to Hadley. She then made her way out of the room. Hadley turned to the people just waiting to get their hands on Hadley.
__The show had been going on for almost 15 minutes and Conan was getting ready to introduce his audience to Hadley. She stood back in the wing behind the curtain in a beautiful red dress to match her red lips. She could feel butterflies in her stomach. It was funny how she could go out every week and wrestle and have no problems but in this type of situation she could be nervous as hell. The producer nodded towards Hadley to give her almost a ten second warning. She could hear Conan talking.
Conan O’Brien; Alright my babies, my first guest comes to us from a little wrestling federation called Online Championship Wrestling. Maybe you've heard of her. She is a former woman's champion and women's internet champion...HADLEY HARPER!
"Remember the Name" begins to play as Hadley steps out onto the "stage" of sorts. Cheers fill the crowd, which is rather unusual for her. She smiles and waves towards the crowd and then looks over to Conan who has stood up. They share a hug and a kiss on the cheek and he offers Hadley a seat. She sits in the chair, which is unusual comfortable. Conan then takes a seat behind his desk. The crowd finally calms down. Conan looks to Hadley and nods his head.
Conan O’Brien; I think you have some fans in the crowd.
Hadley giggled a little.
Hadley Harper; Yeah that's actually an odd reaction from the crowd.
Conan O’Brien; Why?
Hadley Harper; The OCW crowds don't like me all that much.
Conan O’Brien; They're just jealous.
Hadley laughed along with the crowd.
Conan O’Brien; So you are here today to tell us a little about what you do. Some upcoming events for the OCW.
Hadley nodded her head.
Hadley Harper; Yeah that's right, we've got Immortality coming up for OCW..
Hadley is interrupted by loud cheers from the crowd.
Hadley Harper; See everyone's excited for it.
Conan laughs a little bit.
Conan O’Brien; Sounds like it. Now you will be going one on one for the women's championship at Immortality against Jade Taylor. But that wasn't who you were originally supposed to face correct?
Hadley Harper; Yeah that's right. There was a big fiasco in the federation that caused my original opponent, Trish Dominique, to depart from the company do I got put up against a girl named Jade Taylor.
Hadley nodded her head.
Conan O’Brien; Do you think this will swing a little better in your favor then?
Hadley laughed a little bit.
Hadley Harper; Well yes I actually do. I mean either way I was going to walk out a champion it just would've been harder work going up against Trish because she has so much talent and so much experience and this is actually my first year wrestling professionally. With Jade she's a lot more venerable she hasn't exactly learned what it takes yet and Trish has that down and locked just like I do. So I mean it's going to be a good fight no doubt because when the OCW divas get into the ring it isn't just a pillow fight it's a full on throw down.
The crowd cheers as Hadley nods her head.
Conan O’Brien; Well I sure as hell wouldn't want to get into a fight with you..unless it was a pillow fight.
Hadley laughs along with the crowd as Conan "whispers" that under his breath.
Conan O’Brien; Moving on! How did you have so much success in your first year of professional wrestling?
Hadley Harper; Well I mean I've got a lot of motivation, I've got it to no extent actually. Winning to me is everything and that's a lifestyle that I've always lived by. In fact losing is probably one of the things I hate most.
Conan O'Brien; You were just the women's champion in OCW and you lost it to Justin Klein correct?
Hadley took a second letting out a smile.
Hadley Harper; Yes that's correct. It was rather unfortunate for me and my ego but I will pick it up again at Immortality. I shouldn't have even lost the championship in the first place but politics are politics you know.
Hadley winked at Conan.
Conan O'Brien; Ahh sore subject gotcha. You know I notice that you're an extremely confident individual. Now I know you said that you are all about winning but where does that confidence come from. I mean I'm completely convinced that you're going to win that match because you're so confident.
Hadley chuckles a little.
Hadley Harper; I don't know it's really just who I am. I look at a situation or a match thinking "how can I win this" and when I find it I got for it and make it work. I don't have doubts about myself and my abilities and people will tell you differently, but I don't underestimate my opponents. It seems like i do but in all honesty I don't. I do what needs to be done to study them to figure out what makes them tick, their strengths weaknesses and so on. It's all about how you carry yourself really. As a female wrestler though you have to have confidence it's kind of an unwritten rule cause if you don't you're just going to get walked over. That's what makes a strong female competitor someone that isn't afraid to speak their mind and let you know how things are going to go. Like Jade, she's getting better at it but you can just tell that she's intimidated you can tell that she's trying so hard to make herself believe she is going to win but if you don't actually believe it then you aren't going to seem all that confident. I always believe in myself and my talent and that's exactly how I get things done. It isn't a matter of "maybe I can do it someday" it's a matter of "hell yeah I'm going to make this happen for myself today." That's what made me a champion in the first place and that's what is going to make me a champion on Sunday.
Hadley took in a deep breath as the crowd began to cheer. Conan looked impressed as he looked at her and simply smiled.
Conan O'Brien; Well you know how to use your words.
She laughed once again.
Conan O'Brien; Okay explain something to me, how did you get your names. The Extreme Sensation and the Queen of OCW.
Hadley Harper; Well I got the extreme sensation from my trainer Dean Malenko, he was teaching me a lot of technical wrestling which in my opinion is extremely generic and I just wanted to do stuff that women in wrestling hadn't been doing a lot of I mean besides women like Amy Dumas. I wanted to be known for something so I started to teach myself more high risk moves like my finisher "The Extreme Sensation" which is a 360 shooting star press. Which is an off the top rope move which is very rare for female competitors. Then the Queen of OCW is an extreme gimmick name. It was caused when I had my title on the line at April Anarchy and the match was a ladder match called "the queen of the ring" match, and in order to win the match you had to climb the ladder and grab the crown that was hanging above the ring. I won the match and started calling myself with queen of OCW. Which are two reasons why I'll be champion again. I'm innovative and I'm the queen.
Hadley smiled looking at Conan.
Conan O'Brien; Well I believe it.
The crowd laughed.
Conan O'Brien; What made you sign with OCW over other federations?
Hadley Harper; Well I just really loved what OCW had to offer. They had a lot of things that most federations can't say they have. I mean sure there is a lot of controversy in OCW but there is always amazing talent to pick up the pace. It is a federation that changes often and I like that about it.
Hadley nodded her head getting a few cheers from the crowd.
Conan O'Brien; Now if you win this match you will be a two time women's champion?
Hadley Harper; Yes that's right, which is something that only a few divas have done so it will really mean a lot to me. Jade has said that this is really important to her, that she will have that motivation because the title is on the line but what she doesn't understand is that there is a lot more riding on my shoulders. I have to pick up the pace from what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I am a former women's champion so if she thinks she's got more riding on this match then she is a crazy person because it's obvious that since I'm held up as such a great wrestler, which I am by the way, I have to win this match to keep that going or my momentum will go down the shoot.
Conan O'Brien; Now you've beaten Jade before?
Hadley nods her head.
Hadley Harper; Yeah that's right it was right after I had won the women's championship and Jade approached me backstage challenging me to a match. There wasn't anyway I was going to let a new girl slip through my fingers. That was my first chance to prove what I had and to prove I wasn't just a one hit wonder ya know. So I took the challenge and we had a good match we both put our all into it because we love the sport and I came out as the winner much like will happen on Sunday.
Hadley smiled as the crowd cheered once again.
Conan O'Brien; Alright well ladies and gentlemen when we come back from the break Hadley is going to show us some of her moves. Stay tuned.
The show goes off to a commercial as Conan leans into talk to Hadley.
__The show comes back to show Conan standing by a make-shift ring. Hadley has changed into something much more comfortable to wrestle in and stands inside the ring with her hands on her hips.
Conan O'Brien; Alright well we wanted to help Hadley get warmed up for her match against Jade so she's going to show us some sweet moves.
Conan pulls himself up onto the apron and into the ring.
Hadley Harper; Alright we'll just start off with some easy moves first...
Conan backs away.
Conan O'Brien; Woah..no I'm not denting my due..
Hadley laugh as Conan fluffs his hair.
Conan O'Brien; No we have one better for you actually...
"Remember the name" begins to play again and a man with a brown wig comes out taunting out to the crowd. The crowd boos him as he gets into the ring.
Conan O'Brien; Alright we've got in this corner..Hadley Harper! And in the other corner..Jade Taylor!
The man raises his fist into the air pumping it to get the crowd going. Hadley laughs looking at the man.
Conan O'Brien; Alright lets get a little preview of how this match will go.
Conan takes off his jacket and rips off his shirt to reviel a referee shirt. Laughs can be heard in the crowd and a bell sounds. Hadley and "Jade" circle each other and lock up. Hadley gets the upper hand twisting "Jade's" arm around in a chicken wing of sorts. "Jade" yells out in pain. "Jade" backs Hadley into the ropes and flips Hadley over his head. "Jade" then pins.
Conan O'Brien; One..
Hadley kicks out quickly and gets to her feet. "Jade" runs at her and Hadley ducks. "Jade" turns around to be met by a clothesline from Hadley. "Jade" falls to the mat. Hadley then runs towards the ropes jumping off of them and landing a lionsault on "Jade". She pins.
Conan O'Brien; One..two..
"Jade" kicks out. Hadley gets to hers feet and waits for "Jade" to get up as well. Hadley sends a kick to "Jade" as soon as she reaches her feet. Hadley then hits a corkscrew ddt. The crowd cheers loudly as Hadley gets to her feet. She looks around at the crowd. She then makes her way over to the ropes jump up onto them. She jumps off hitting the "Extreme Sensation" on "Jade". She then pins.
Conan O'Brien; One..two..three!!
The crowd cheers as Hadley gets to her feet. Conan raises her arm.
Conan O'Brien; Well if that is anything like how the real match will go you have nothing to worry about.
Hadley is a little out of breath but smiles nodding her head.
Hadley Harper; I just want to say that it will end like that weather Jade likes it or not, cause they don't call me the queen for nothing.
Hadley winks into the camera before it focuses in on Conan.
Conan O'Brien; Alright well when we come back we'll have Ellen Page. Stay tuned.
The show fades to a commercial as Hadley and Conan talk.
