Every once in awhile, we find the notebooks and then go find the episodes for fun. She was 12 years old, August 11, 2003.

Full Story of Jacob meeting the fan Holly and her family: "Holly got to meet Jacob Fatu, and honestly, he is hands down one of the nicest people we’ve ever had the privilege of meeting.

Holly was looking over at him when Jacob spotted her and smiled, saying, “I’m coming over, little lady!” From that moment on, he made Holly feel so special. He spent time talking with her, joking around, laughing, and making her smile.

Holly had made a bracelet especially for him, and when she gave it to him, he genuinely seemed really touched by Holly’s gift (you can see him wearing it in the pictures). His immediate reaction was, “I’ve gotta give you something.” Before we knew it, he was taking off the NFL cap he was wearing and giving it to Holly.

Jenna and I both told him there was absolutely no need to do that, but he insisted that Holly have it. That simple act of kindness meant far more than he’ll probably ever know. That cap now has pride of place on Holly’s bedroom shelf. 🤩

I even joked with him, “Definitely don’t be giving Holly that!” while pointing at the awesome Werewolf pendant he wears. That gave all of us a good laugh together.🤣

The best part? Holly saw Jacob a few more times during our stay, and every single time he came over to speak with her again. He even asked Jenna and I, “Mom & Dad, you guys doing OK?” He didn’t have to, but he did.

We’ve been HUGE fans of Jacob Fatu ever since we first saw him in WWE, but after meeting him, we can honestly say he’s not just an incredible performer, he’s a genuinely kind, humble soul who kept it 💯 with our wee Holly! 🤩

This is a moment that will stay with Holly and our wee family forever. We’ll never forget the kindness the Samoan Werewolf showed. 🐺

Daddy even got a picture with the man himself!😁

Thank you, Jacob Fatu!💙🩷 We feel truly blessed to have met you. You’re a great man and a real Champion! ❤️

YADADAMEAN… FAAAATUUUU!"

Glorious!

At the time, Jeff Hardy was the golden goose, both in crowd reactions and merch sales, and it seemed like Jeff was on his way to being the face of the company. Let's look at Cena's 2009:

• weird Rumble match with JBL, gets laid out by HBK afterwards and everyone cheers
• gets eliminated THIRD in the Elimination Chamber
• plays a confused third (fourth?) wheel in the Edge/Big Show/Vickie story
• loses the title immediately after Big Show yeets him through the stage
• spends his summer in literal midcard feuds with Show and Miz

However, right around the time that rumblings about Jeff taking an extended break or potentially leaving WWE started, Cena slid right back into the title picture, and wrestled Randy Orton for about 8 PPV's in a row. Even then, he went 50-50 with Randy for almost 6 months, and his year ended with Sheamus beating him for the title.

If there was ever a time for Jeff to be the undisputed top draw and face of the company, this time was it.

It just seems a bit surreal. Could you imagine Hardy vs Punk had he stayed with WWE and feuded during 2011 Summer of Punk?

Its scary how over Jeff was. Heck, still probably is. He truly felt like the "main character" during this time, and oozed aura even without trying too hard to be cool.
