27th December 2008: WWE Magazine with the Hardy Family

Today… back off to the headquarters to do a magazine photo shoot and interview. Then in a few months, I'm going to be answering a load of fan mail for WWE magazine. Now that, that is going to be fun. But today, it's just me, Matt, Jeff, the camera crew, the director & the interviewer (with the person that writes down the stuff).

First is the photo shoot. Gold is everywhere… well on our shoulders & around our waists. Three titles, one each… none of which are joint titles, like the tag team titles. It's a really nice feeling. I mean, I love the tag team titles, but with that, somewhere inside of you, you know that it's not just your title, that you only have half of the glory of being a champion. So being a singles champion, you get the full feeling of what it's like to be a champion in the best business ever.

Anyways… photo shoot time… yay, lets waste hours of our time taking a load of photos, and out of them only use about 5 of them… at the most! Worst part about it… we just came off the huge Hardy Christmas Bash… so we are hangover, tired and well, completely out of it. But we will try our best to NOT let that show through in the photos or interview. We get about 40 shoots done, which is a really good number for photo shoots.

Oh shit, Jeff just lost part of his breakfast. Oh thank god there's a bucket here! Me & Matt run over to him to see if he's alright… great now we feel sick too. Must keep it in… oh, there goes Matt. I walk away because I know I will be sick if I stay in that corner for another second.

"What's the matter with them? we have to finish up this photo shoot" the director asks

"Dude, it was Christmas 2 days ago. We are still hangover from the 48 hours of the Bash. Heck, if we didn't have to do this today, the Bash would still be happening" I explain, trying to keep my vomit in my stomach

"The Bash?"

"Huge Christmas party" I say and walk back over to Matt and Jeff.

I rake Matt's hair back from in front of his face. Eww… all sicky. I roll off one of my hair ties from my wrist and tie Matt's hair back. I do the same with Jeff's. I rub and pat their backs. Still got some of their sick on my hands… more rubbing hehehe!

Damn, I knew we should have done this tomorrow. Today we would have finished off the Bash, cleaned up, got some proper sleep down us, and well be sick like this that night… then do this stuff the next day (Monday).

"Yeah, I don't think we are going to get anymore photos out of them" the director says

"Ya think!" I respond to him. I walk over to him. "Let's see the photos then"

The camera crew sets up the computer and I look through the photos that we took today.

"Oh, some of those are really good" I say looking at them

"Yeah… for the condition you guys are in, they are amazing"

"They are amazing anyway… even if we weren't hangover"

"I like that one the most… the lighting, camera, fan and the positions you guys are in is just perfect" the head of the camera crew explains

"Thanks"

"That one is going to be the cover photo" the director adds

"Sweet"

The director looks over to Matt and Jeff. They are still over the bucket, coughing and vomiting. "Well I guess you guys aren't up to doing an interview today"

Matt looks up and turns to the director… "I'll be fine… just give me a bit"

"How about Jeff?"

"Oh, he'll be fine too"… "Won't you Jeffro?" Matt says wiping his mouth

"Oh yeah, yeah… just give me a few" Jeff replies to Matt. He spits into the bucket and wipes his mouth.

"You guys sure? I mean, you two haven't been this hangover since last years Christmas Bash" I add

"Sweetie… we will be fine… we will be doing this interview today" Matt reassures me

Damn, I wish he didn't say that… I just want to go back home, clean up… as knowing Shannon he hasn't cleaned up at all… and sleep in my comfy bed.

"Kelly, get some glasses of water for those two" the director asks one of the assistants

"Sure" she says and gets some water for Matt and Jeff. He hands them the water.

"Thanks" Matt and Jeff say. They swirl some around in their mouths and spit it out into the bucket.

30 minutes later we start the interview. Yay… after this I can get on the flight home & sleep!

I really can't be fucked writing the interview up… it felt like it went forever. But it only went for 45 minutes. It was all the usual questions with the usual kind of answers. In the end, the editors chose the best 10 to 15 questions and answers to put into the magazine… it's like the photo shoots, you do a load of photos and chose the best out of them.

Once the day is all finished, we get a bite to eat and get onto a flight back home. And what do we arrive to… an unconscious Shannon Moore on the sofa. Empty vodka bottle near him and a very dirty house, with beer cans, red bull cans, paper plates, shot glasses everywhere, and then the smell of vomit in the air.

First thing to do is to wake up Shannon.

"I'll get the ice blocks in cold water" Matt says and heads into what you might call a kitchen

"Okay, I'm going to find the air freshener" I say and head into the laundry room

Matt gets back to Shannon with the bucket of cold water and ice blocks. It might damp the sofa, but it's one of the only ways to get Shannon back up. Matt tips the contents of the bucket onto Shannon. Shannon jumps up with a fright.

"Zoe, Shannon's up"

I come back into the living room "awesome… I found the air freshener too"
"Cool"

"Oh, hey guys" Shannon says

"Shannon… we told you that today you were going to do a little bit of clean up" I complain

"I know, I know… but then I found another bottle of vodka"

"Oh, okay then"

"Wait, you're not pissed off?"

"I'm too tired to get pissed off right now"

"Go to bed sweetie, I'll meet you up there"

"Okay, I will" I say and start heading upstairs… "And I'll be pissed off at you tomorrow when I have to clean this up" I stop and add, directing at Shannon

"Okay, I'll get going" Shannon says and stands up

"Shannon, you're too drunk to drive… I'll drop you back at home" Matt says and grabs Shannon's car keys from Shannon

"Fine, let's go… wait, how are you going to get home?"

"I'll take your car… Julie can drop you off here tomorrow to pick it up"

"Fine"

They walk out the door and drive to Shannon's place.

Matt gets home about 40 minutes later. He looks at the house again.

"Oh man, we are going to be busy tomorrow" he says and shakes his head.

He runs up the stairs and into the bedroom. He sees me, asleep in the bed. It's 8pm by this time, and he climbs into bed. He hugs me from behind.

"Hey hun" I say to him, half asleep

"Hey sweetie… go back to sleep" he replies and kisses me on my cheek

"Okay, night"

"Night"

We fall asleep… night guys!
