This is a story about the relationship between Calli and Jay. Trust me, each chapter will leave you wanting more.
September, 2002, twenty-one year old Calli Torreto, known as Jaci Jones in the ring, was excited. Tonight on RAW, she was coming back. After being out for nearly seven months, she was ready to come back. She was excited to be in the ring again. Calli was unlike the Divas. For one, she made it perfectly clear to Vince that she wasn't a Diva, but a Superstar. Her usual attire was not tight clothes that showed too much cleavage. She wore cargoes, tank tops and ball caps. Tonight, she wore an electric blue tank top, cut off above her belly button and with a skull on the front, black cargoes, and blue converses. And tonight, with her new entrance music being "Underclass Hero" by Sum 41, she was going to intervene during a fight that breaks out on the Highlight Reel. Since she had time, she talked to one of her long time friends, Vicki Guerrero. "Hey, how you been, V?"
Turning around, Vicki shrieked and ran to hug Calli. "Oh, my girl, how I've missed you!" Vicki was always like a second mother to her. Being the child protege of Vince meant that she hung out with the Superstars all her life way back since Andre the Giant and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
"So, tell me, mama sita, hows Eddie and Chavo been since I left them?"
"Pretty good." Vicki said.
Calli and the Guerreros were really close. Eddie taught her how to do the Frog Splash. He was her babysitter backstage when she was little. And he was the best friend she ever had. Suddenly, as if on cue, Los Guerreros came out of their dressing room. The moment Chavo and Eddie saw Calli, they ran and gave a big group hug.
"Mama sita, we been wondering when you'd come back!" Chavo cried.
"Si, si, it's been boring without you to hang out with, esse." Eddie added.
"I missed you guys, too. Being out with a broken femur isn't fun. But I'm back, and ready to party, ¡Viva la Raza!" It was Calli who thought of 'Viva la Raza'. She was only twelve when she took Spanish lessons in school and she knew not too many people understood it, so when Matt and Jeff Hardy came into the ring against Los Guerreros, She cried out "¡Viva la Raza!" and everyone cheered. They had no idea what it meant, but it did get them riled up.
"Alright, boys, she needs to get ready for her return." Vicki said to the boys.
After one last hug, Calli ran to the gorilla position and waited. Chris Jericho was to start a fight with Shawn Michaels, then her music would start and she would run out to the ring and separate the men. Chris then hit Shawn and the fight started. After a few moments, Calli ran out to her music.
Well. I. Won't be caught living in a dead end job/ Or praying to a goverment, guns and gods/ And now its us against them/ We're here to represent/ And spit right in the face of the establishment
"Oh my God! Who is that?" JR asked. Jaci was running down the ramp and slid into the ring. Once there, she got between the two men and pushed them away from each other.
"Wait. Isn't that Jaci Jones?" Taz asked.
"It is!" Jerry said in excitement. "The 'McMahon Prodigy' is back and ready for action." Jaci was called the 'McMahon Prodigy' because Vince and Shane took her under their wing and raised her like one of them. But she resented them and joined WCW, But when Shane bought WCW, she wound up signing back with WWF, but still determined, she joined Los Guerreros to rebel against them. Once the men were separated, she looked at Shawn and raised a mic she found on the canvas and asked, "Are you okay, Shawn?"
She gave him the mic and he looked at her in shock. "Jaci, I thought you were out."
"Let's not forget, ladies and gentlemen, that it was Chris Jericho, who broke Jaci's leg and had her out on injury in the first place." JR commented.
"And based on the look on Jericho's face, he regrets it." Jerry said. Chris was, in fact, the reason Jaci was put out. He tried to do a lion-sault with Eddie Guerrero, but she interfered and Chris landed on her instead. She sent a live video feed to the WWE and declared that she didn't blame Eddie. That she blamed Chris for not watching out for her in the ring.
"I was out, Shawn. But now, I'm back and better than ever." The WWE Universe roared with excitement as they watched Jaci turn to look at Chris. He was scared, everyone knew it. Jaci was worse than most of the Superstars. She knew how much Chris hated the fact that some women could fight against men, so she would use that to advantage. "What's wrong, Chris? You look like you've seen a ghost." She mocked.
Still shocked and scared for his life, Chris actually got on his knees and begged. "Jaci, you know I never meant to hurt you! It was Eddie! He didn't say anything when he saw you! He didn't warn me!"
"So," She started. "We're playing the blame game now, are we? Well, I can play, too. Like for instance, I blame Shawn Michaels," Jaci paused as she pointed at Shawn. "For being a sexy boy." Everyone cheered as Shawn smiled and shrugged in agreement. "I blame JR, Taz, and Jerry Lawler for making commentary fun." Everyone cheered for the three commentators. "I also blame the Hardy Boyz and Los Guerreros for being the greatest tag teams in the WWE." Everyone cheered for the tag teams mentioned. "But most importantly, Chris, I blame you for breaking my leg. You see, I told Eddie to be quiet when I snuck into the ring. I was planning on blind siding you so Eddie would get the victory and everyone would get a laugh out of watching you get hurt. So, since you put me out for seven months, I guess I should return the favor!"
Jaci then dropped the mic and lunged at Chris. Tackling him to the mat, she threw one punch after another. Nothing was going to stop her. As she forced him to stand up, she managed a drop kick, forcing him to fall near the turnbuckle. Smirking, Jaci climbed the ropes, screams from the crowd urging her to keep going. As she stood on the top rope, she threw her head back and screamed, "¡Viva la Raza!" She then frog splashed Chris, the thud from the impact vibrated the whole ring.
Chris was in pain. He curled into the fetal position, his face scrunched up. Jaci smiled as she picked a mic up. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's Highlight Reel, which should now give us better ratings as of tonight, was brought to you by Los Guerreros. If you're not cheating, you're not trying. ¡Viva la Raza!" She then dropped the mic and walked out of the ring as her music played. As she climbed the ramp, she turned around and smiled. Eddie and Chavo walked behind her and lifted her up on their shoulders. Jaci couldn't help but laugh. Her return turned out better than she thought it would. But before she went back stage, she Chavo to hand her a mic. When he gave it to her, she looked at Chris. "CHRIS!" She screamed. Chris was able to sit up against the ropes and look at Jaci. "I hope you don't have any plans for the evening. You and I are gonna be in the main event tonight. You, with whoever you want in your corner, vs me with Eddie in mine! No Disqualifications!" Everyone screamed for this. Eric didn't plan anything for the main event, so he decided that since Jaci was his little lunch ticket, she could make it up. And from the reaction she got, Eric should be very pleased.
Calli was greeted by everyone backstage. Even John Cena walked over and hugged her, but not with trying to squeeze her ass. "Don't make me hit you, Cena." She said. Chuckling, John let go of her. Turning back to everyone, she smiled. She was only a neighbor of the McMahon's when she was a little girl, and when she stepped into a wrestling ring to play around, Shane saw that she had potential. All she needed was a little training. Now, nearly fourteen years later, she was a professional.
Eric walked up to Calli and hugged her. "We sure missed you, Sweets. It was so boring here without you." Eric always like Calli. She started her career in WCW when she graduated a few years ago. So it was no surprise that Eric hugged her.
Nearly an hour later, Calli was in her old ring gear, her bright blue tank top that read in red letters:
UNDER-
CLASS
HERO
on the front, and had "13" on the back. Her black cargoes and blue converses. She decided to change, at least, one thing about her outfit. So, instead of wristbands, she wore black and blue jelly bands on both wrists. She was still the Punk Princess that everyone knew and loved. Well, almost everyone. She and Jay Reso, a.k.a. Christian, never got along, in or out of the ring. And she knew that Chris knew that. So, she half expected him to be there.
"Mama Sita, it's time." Eddie called into her dressing room. Calli nodded and walked out. "Glad to see everything still fits." Eddie smiled.
Calli cocked an eyebrow. "Are you implying that you thought I'd get fat while I was out?" She was only joking and Eddie laughed as he hugged her.
"You never change, Cal. Now, go kick some Canadian ass."
Well. I. Won't be caught living in a dead end job./ Or praying to a government, guns and gods./ And now it's us against them/ We're here to represent/ And spit right in the face of the establishment
"First, introducing the challenger, being escorted by Eddie Guerrero, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 140 pounds, Jaci Jones!" Lillian introduced. Everyone was up and out of their seats, cheering for the Punk Princess. As Jaci walked down the ramp with Eddie by her side, she saw some signs that made her smile. "All Hale The Punk Princess!" "UNDERCLASSMEN UNITE AS ONE!" "Spit Right In The Face Of Bichoff!" She even saw one that said, "Jaci Jones, Be My Prom Date!" It made her laugh. The kid holding it was about 18. So, she walked over and smiled. The kid was standard Skater Punk, long hair, cargoes, even wore one of her shirts. So, She leaned over and kissed his cheek. Everyone cheered at this. Jaci even hugged him real quick before jumping into the ring.
C'mon. Ya know I gotcha. Yeah. One. Break the walls dooown!
"Introducing, being accompanied by Christian, from Winnipeg, Chris Jericho!" Everyone booed at the two Canadians. It was funny to see the two think they were great. Christian with the whole "we're better than you" aura and Chris with his rock star persona. Jaci quickly turned to Eddie and whispered, "You think you can take Christian out?"
Eddie smirked. "I know I can."
Once the two blonds stepped into the ring, Chris's music stopped and he took his vest off, handing it to Christian as he stepped out of the ring. Eddie jumped off the apron and held his hands behind his back as he whistled and walked over to Christian, who was staring into the ring. But he wasn't watching his long time friend and tag partner, he was watching Jaci. Everyone thought they despised each other. That was untrue, well, at least half untrue. Yes, Jaci hated Christian, but he was in love with the girl. She may have been younger than him by nine years, but he didn't care, she was legal. But what made him love her was the fact that she didn't take shit from anybody. While he wasn't looking, though, Eddie snuck up behind him with a chair and struck right in the back. The loud SMACK echoed throughout ringside. Christian fell over and cringed. As he rolled to his side, you could see the red on his entire back. And Eddie just smiled as he dropped the chair and shimmied, causing the whole arena to explode. "Oh, my God! Could hear that smack? Ow! I felt it from here." Jerry said.
"It seems as though Jaci has not changed one bit. She still plans ahead and thinks like a Guerrero." JR commented.
"Yeah, well, everyone knows how much she hates Christian. So, I don't blame her for thinking of this." Taz added.
The bell then rang. Chris walked up to Jaci and tried to talk to her. "I'm not gonna fight you, Jaci! You know that I can't hurt women!"
Smirking, Jaci yelled, "Fine, send in your boy instead and run back to locker like scared little Canadian school girl."
Chris didn't care what Jaci called him, just so long as he didn't have to hit her. He slid out of the ring and started walking up the ramp. Christian started to stand when he saw this. He grabbed a mic quickly and said, "Dude, what are you doing. Don't let her scare you off!"
Chris stopped and turned around. Looking at Christian he grabbed his mic real quick and said, "If you think she's easy to beat, you wrestle her." Everyone cheered at this. Jaci's eyebrows rose up, she had only been kidding.
Eddie handed her a mic so she could talk. "Wow, Chris. I actually have a little more respect for you. You finally admit that you can be beaten. Well, I'll take him on. Get in here, Christian! I now have too much respect for Chris Jericho to hurt him." Everyone screamed. They knew this was going to be a good match. Christian stepped into the ring, but backed up when Eddie got in as well. He took Jaci's mic and said, "If you get a chance at a cheap shot, don't take it, esse, or I'll beat you to a pulp." Everyone screamed for Eddie. They knew he love Jaci like a daughter, so he would be there for her.
But Jaci gently pushed Eddie back and took the mic from him and said, "If I need you, I'll call you. Okay, Papi?" Eddie nodded real quick and got out of the ring. The bell rung and Jaci went turn around, only to be knocked down by a clothes line from Christian. Everyone booed at this, the match only just started and he already took a cheap shot. But Jaci did a kip up and popped her neck to the side. As Christian turned around, Jaci smacked him across the face. Turning back to face her, he got another slap. He knew what was going to happen next. So when he turned to look at Jaci, she went to slap him again, but this time, he grabbed her arm before she made contact. What he didn't count on, was her other fist rearing back and getting socked right in the jaw just as he grabbed her. Despite her size, Jaci could pack a punch. Christian stumbled back to the turnbuckle, grabbing the ropes for support.
Jaci did Eddie's little shimmy as she looked at Christian, mocking him. But he quickly got up and tackled her to the canvas. Eddie jumped onto the apron, ready to get in, but the ref ran to him to block him. Eddie was now arguing with the ref, keeping his focus away from the match. Christian went to hit Jaci, but when he saw that she looked as though she were knocked out, he couldn't. He stood up and turned around, still standing over her. When he wasn't looking, Jaci opened her eyes and sat up. When she saw that he didn't notice, she kicked her right leg up, getting right in the boys. Christian clutched his legs together put his hands over his boys. His face was priceless. The ref didn't see it, so it was legal. Jaci stood up and walked around Christian so she could stand in front of him. Once she was in front of him, Christian looked up at her and started cussing her out. She couldn't help but chuckle at his sad attempts to insult her. Finally, just to shut him up, she grabbed his head and pulled him into a passionate kiss. From the angle on the jumbo tron, you could see her forcing her tongue into his mouth and practically ram it down his throat. Everyone was screaming. Even Eddie couldn't believe it. Christian's eyes widened and he froze as Jaci did everything else.
"Hey! Jaci's kissing Christian! Christin! Of all people!" JR said.
"What do you mean 'of all people'? She's mocking him!" Taz exclaimed.
"Yeah, well, if that's her way of mocking someone, you think she could mock me?" Jerry added with a laugh.
Finally, Christian responded to the kiss, but it didn't last much longer. Jaci then pulled away and took a step back. Christian looked as though she were still in pain, but his eyes were wide and he looked as if he didn't want to stop. But, Jaci smirked and gave him a high kick right to the left temple of his head. That was one of her signature moves, the Soccer Kick. He fell over and was in the right place. She then climbed the turnbuckle he was next to and stood on the top rope. Once ready, she leaped onto Christian, a perfect Frog Splash. The cheering from the crowd caused to ref to realize that something happened. So he tuned around in time to see Jaci pull Christian's leg up for the pin. He got down and started counting. 1...2...3! The bell rung and Jaci's music played. Eddie hopped into the ring and hugged Jaci. They both then shimmied together and laughed about it. Christian still couldn't believe what had happened. He let his feelings for a woman get in the way of defeating said woman, and he loved her even more for making him do that.
