I don't own any one in the WWE
Hi my name is Isabelle they call me "Izzie" for short, I own the catering crew that is contracted with The WWE and this is my story of how it all started and how I became used and abused.
One day a local sports bar was holding a major WWE signing. There was the Hardys with their dvd, HHH with his dvd, Shawn Michaels with his dvd and book, Rey Mysterio with his dvd, Mr. McMahn with his book and dvd, and Batista with his book.
The bar had hired my catering company to come in and do a finger food bar for the thousands of guests that they were expecting and another hot bar just for our special guests.
Now I some what knew Matt and Jeff because we went to the same high school and I was one of the Saturday morning thrill seekers at their back yard shows, but had never actually got down and personal with either of them. I don't know if they knew who I was but I knew who they were. My sister Lana dated Matt.
When I was setting up the cold bar Jeff had come over by me and said that I looked familiar to him. I said that could very well be I am from Cameron and I was a part of the Saturday morning groupie club out by the ring. I was the one with the home made team x-treme
t-shirt. Oh now I remember you are Izzie aren't you? Yeppers that would be me the wrestling groupie. (As I started to laugh) I see that you have a help wanted sign on your table. Yes I do, why do you want the job? (Laughing again) I'll keep it in mind if I ever need one said Jeff. Well I have to go and take my seat and get ready to be mobbed. Jeff, I brought my copy of twist of fate can you and Matt sign it for me with out me paying for it. We sure can go get it and I will go and grab Matt quick. As Jeff came back to the table with Matt he explained to him who Izzie was and he remembered her also. Matt told me to come around from the table to give him a hug, so I did and that is when Jeff got his also. They gladly signed my dvd and gave me their phone numbers on a piece of paper and stuck it inside. I thanked them and HHH took a picture of us. I gave them my email address so they could send me a copy of the picture. I told HHH that I had his dvd also he told me that he would catch me when every thing was over with.
I got asked for a lot of applications. There was one that caught my eye his name was Robert Johnson he was looking to due his internship for his hospitality/tourism class. He already had his hotel/restaurant/special events management certificate and he was slowly working on his associate's degree. The next day I called him into my office for an interview. I hired him on the spot.
He was doing very well, he was traveling with different crews that I had. One day I had gotten a call from Vince McMahn asking if my catering company would be interested in coming on the road with the WWE Company. I immediately went down to the head office in Connecticut and signed the contract. I put together my best team for the job. The team consisted of me, Julie, Kelly, John, and Robert. I found myself working quite well with Robert. We spent every waking minute together. We did every thing together even when we were not at work. We started to fall in love. Every thing was going ok until it happened, Robert got a call and became very angry and backhanded me very hard in the face. He left a huge bruise on the left side of my face. He just looked at me and started to cry, telling me how sorry he was and it would never happen again. I just went and put on some make-up to cover the bruise. I just told him that if it happened again I would have to let him go. He assured me that it would never happen again. With that we went to work.
That night at work was a normal night with the divas and the wrestlers coming and going. Robert was showing some extra attention to Maria. I kindly reminded him that there was work to be done and no time to be visiting. He quickly snapped at me that I talk to every one. I kindly reminded him that I was the boss; there was a difference, that's why I have employees and when we are here that is all that you are an employee. He just stormed off like a child to the back of the catering area. I stuck my head back and asked John if he could come help me up front. Every thing went fine the rest of the night, until Robert came out to fill one of the food bins and seen me talking to Jeff and Matt. They asked me to go out to the after show party down in the hotel lounge. I told them I would love to go and could I bring my boyfriend with me, they told me absolutely. After every thing was cleaned and packed up, I told Robert that we had been invited to the after show party. He told me he really wasn't up to it but I could go if I wanted to.
After I was dressed up he went on the attack again, he started to hit me and slap me and that I didn't actually think he was going to let me go to that party. He seen me talking to those guys, and if he couldn't talk to Maria then I wasn't going any where to talk to any guy's. He kept hitting me over and over until I could barely see. I was bruised on my arms, legs, and face. I was screaming for help and nobody would come, when I finally got away from him I opened the door to security and the police standing there ready to come in.
They arrested Robert immediately. They seen me run down the hall to the elevator, one of the security officers caught up to me and said I had to go to the hospital for my injuries. I know but I have to go find Jeff and Matt Hardy and tell them I can't come to the party. I grew up with them. They are all that I have right now that could be family. Please tell them to come to the hospital.

Security went to the stage area and asked for Matt and Jeff Hardy to come and meet him at the front desk.
Matt and Jeff went to the desk to meet the security officer. He asked if they knew a girl named Izzie. Jeff said yes, she was suppose to meet us at the party with her boyfriend, just then a man was being hauled out of the building in hand cuffs yelling that bitch deserved what I gave her, I should of killed the slut, then she wouldn't have the chance to flirt with any wrestlers again. Right away Jeff asked what happened to Izzie. She has been taken to the hospital, he beat her pretty bad, she asked me to tell you because she grew up with you guys and would be considered the only family she had right now. Just then the paramedics wheeled her through the lobby; Jeff ran up to me and told me to hang in there. He asked if he could ride in the ambulance with her, they told him yes, he just told Matt to follow if he wanted to. I was crying so hard, Jeff just held my hand all of the way to the hospital. He told me he was not going to leave my side. I thanked him and told him I was happy that he was there for me. He didn't have to be there for me. When they got me into the room they asked Jeff to stand out side while they changed me into a gown, when they were done he came back in he brought a chair over by my side and held my hand. The nurses were cleaning the blood off of my face to see the damage Robert had done and started an I.V., when the doctor came in. He just told the nurse to get the number 3 needle and 2 gauge sutures and the Lana cane. I was very scared I told Jeff I never had stitches before. He saw my tattoo on my shoulder. He just told me if I can get a tattoo stitches are nothing. When the doctor was done stitching up my face and arm I had a total of 247 stitches all together. 168 were on my face alone. He had also broken three of my ribs.
The doctor wanted me to stay in the hospital for a couple of days, we were in Greensboro, I asked him if there was any chance I could be transferred to Cameron, he told me if that is what I wanted he would arrange the transport right away. I asked the nurse to see if there was a Matt Hardy in the waiting room, she said there was and she would send him back right away. When Matt got there we told him that I was being transferred to Cameron and could he take Jeff and meet me at the hospital.
I called Julie to tell her that she was to get a hold of Justin and Amy that they would be working with her, John, and Kelly until I was ready to come back to work and that she was running the show for me, make me proud. I will probably be stopping by to check up on them.
The doctor told me that my transport was ready; Jeff just gave me a kiss on my hand and said I'll see you in Cameron. The transport attendant told Jeff he could ride with me if he wanted to. Jeff, would you ride with me please? Izzie, I will ride with you if that is what you want. I asked you didn't I. Matt would you meet us at the hospital they told me I will be in room 441. Just follow transport. When I got settled in the Cameron hospital Jeff just sat by my side and held my hand, as I drifted in and out sleep from the pain medication. I couldn't get to sleep because of my ribs, so I asked the nurse if there was any thing that could be done. She said that my wrap had come loose and she couldn't wrap it by herself and she didn't know when she could get help. I asked her if Jeff could help because he and his brother wrestle for a living and I am sure they have helped each other wrap. She agreed to let him help her. She made the comment about who ever wrapped my ribs in the first place didn't do a very good job. She told me not to move and she came back with some wider, longer and stronger wrap. Then she and Jeff wrapped my ribs tighter than they were before it hurt at first but after it was done it felt much better. Then she gave me some pain medicine through my I.V… I asked Jeff why he was being so nice to me. He just said if he told me I had better not laugh. I said do I look like I am in any condition to laugh. No I guess not, the truth is I used to have a crush on you. I just said you have to be kidding me right, a crush on me. Guys who are into sports don't have crushes on little Suzie homemakers like me. I loved that team x-treme that you made your self.
I was so happy when you guys started calling your selves that professionally, I thought oh my god they remembered my shirt. You want to hear some thing really funny, I still have that shirt, when I get out you will have to come over and see it, that is if you want to, I added to it over the years when you guys actually did become team x-treme. Do you guys still live in the same place that you used to. No Matt and I live across the road from each other on Jays way and you; I still live in the same place on the corner of Jays and Collinear. It became my house when my parents died. Matt was dating my sister Lana when she was killed by that drunk driver New Years Eve 2000.
I was in the hospital for the next three days, and while I was in the hospital Jeff never left my side except to go to the bathroom and get some thing to eat and then he would save it to eat with me. While I was there we got to know each other all over again almost like we went back to the Saturday ring dates and more about each others lives. It was like we knew every thing about each other inside and out.
When I was released Matt came and got us from the hospital and Jeff wanted to take me back to his house right away just in case Robert would try do some thing else to me. I told him that Robert didn't know where I lived, but I would like to stop by my house and pick up some clothes and some more uniforms. Wait Izzie the doctor told you no work for you for some time. I am the boss, I don't have to work. I am there for looks.
When we were at my house I told Matt to come along with me to my room with me, while I was telling Jeff what to pack for me, I also told him to reach into the back of the closet and take the bottom box out for me and put it on the bed and open it. On the top were old pictures of Matt, Jeff, Shannon, and Shane, even one of Jeff and I that I had framed. Jeff asked what this was; I told him remember you thought the shirt was cool so we had our picture taken together; I too had a crush on you. I wish we both would had known we had crushes on one another who knew what could have of it. I just told him to dig deeper. He just kept pulling out old wrestling things, Jeff said Izzie this is where our belt went we all fought over who took it and you had it all of the long, no actually, Lana took it from Matt when he wasn't looking a lot of that stuff was hers also, we ran into a picture of Lana and Matt at the prom I asked Matt if he wanted it, he asked me if I was sure, I told him I have a million pictures of her and my parents. He just thanked me because he was suppose to be home that night and they were suppose to go to that party together.(He started to cry) Jeff and I just hugged him, I told him it was not his fault. At the bottom common Jeff I want you to see what I brought you here to see. Jeff pulled out the team x-treme shirt he couldn't believe what he seen Matt's jaw just dropped the front was the same but on the back were the picture perfect cross stitched pictures of him and Jeff. Jeff even had the corn rolled braids multicolored on his head out of loose thread so they hung free. Matt just said that must have taken you hours to do. It took me six months working on it for three hours a day. Matt just told me that he wanted me to wear it to an event; I told him to pack it also. With that I had Jeff drive my car to his house.
I had gotten papers in the mail telling me that I had to testify against Robert a.k.a. Jaun Jaobs. I couldn't believe this man was not who he said he was. All the certificates were all a lie. How could I be taken in this by this he just used me to get what he wanted? Come to find out he had a history of violence. I was just another victim, but I was the worse one out of them all.
When it came time to go to court he plead no contest and was sentenced to six years in prison. While being haulded out of the court room he just screamed at me that I was a slut, because Jeff was there with me.
I just went back on the road with my catering crew doing the books and sending out pay checks. Jeff spent all of the time that he could with me that he could to make sure that I was safe. One night on Smackdown the team x-tream just happen to have a match. They told me to put on that old t-shirt and come to the ring with them. They polled the audience to see who liked my home made shirt. The crowd went wild. Matt told them the story behind the shirt and every one went wild; with that Jeff told me to go and sit by Mick and JR.
Mick just asked me more about my shirt more while taking a closer look at it. I told him it was an old shirt but the pictures on the back were about six years old. He complimented me on my talent. When Matt and Jeff won the match they waved for me to come back into the ring. I did ever so slowly and raised hands with them.
We went back to the locker room I went to the catering area to make sure every thing was going ok before I left with Jeff and Matt for the evening. Amy said every thing was fine, now go relax, have fun, do what ever you are suppose to be doing. Jeff asked me if I wanted to go to the party. I said I didn't know because of my ribs. What if I get bumped the wrong way. You won't I promise I will shield you from every one else. Now let's go and get you changed. With that Jeff took me to our room that we were sharing with Matt and got me ready.
Matt and Jeff rewrapped my ribs nice and tight and then Jeff had picked out a really nice dress for me to wear while I was not looking, he helped me put it on it was a nice sun dress that stretched around my ribcage so it wouldn't hurt and he grabbed my one inch strapless heels for me to wear also. I thanked them for rewrapping my ribs and I thanked Jeff for helping me dress. Jeff told me it was not a problem as me turned me around and lowered himself down to give me a kiss. All I said to him was wow what was that for. He told me he still had a crush on me, I told him I still had a crush on him. He said good let's see where that crush gets us.
