Jackie Compton (RLS CAS)

Jaqueline O'Hare (born 17th November 1982 in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish professional wrestler known by the ring name Jackie Compton, currently signed to UNION Wrestling as both an active performer and the Head of Women's Division Creative. She had previously had a notable spell with PRIZE Wrestling League.
After wrestling for many in years in Germany, O'Hare officially became a citizen in 20131.
==Career==
===Training (2000-2002)===
O'Hare did some training in Ireland before moving to Germany, but claims that she never really got taken seriously until she got to Germany, to the Wrestling Endeavour Gym in Duisburg. She trained for two full years, while making appearances in several independent promotions, before contacting several bigger promotions herself as her training came to an end. 
===B2W (2002-2007)===
Leipzig-based promotion Born 2 Wrestle2 signed a twenty year old O'Hare and debuted her in their burgeoning Women's Division. She moved to Leipzig at this time, eventually coming to see it as home. She held the Women's World Championship in early 2005, from Severa, holding it for around twenty weeks before dropping it back to her.
She would leave the promotion in 2007 to heal several injuries and would end up out of the business for nearly a year.
===AXL (2008-2015)===
She returned in 2008 for AXL Wrestling3, first as an English-language commentator and then eventually as a performer, under the name Jackie Compton. She wasn't quite as successful this time around, usually being a mid-card enhancer, but did impress the promotion with her occasional dip into booking duties and continued commentary work.
Her biggest push with the promotion came in 2014 when she won the Ring Raider Battle Royal, a mixed gender battle royal, and chose to face W-Champion Kara Liebherr at AXLMania. Despite losing, she nevertheless impressed the general wrestling world with her performance. 
===UNION Wrestling (2015-2018)===
British promotion UNION Wrestling brought in Compton in 2015, first as a performer but then as Interim Head of Women's Division Creative when the intended holder of that office, Angel, reneged on her agreement due to a personal dispute. This was never formally made permanent despite her being the de facto Head until her departure.
She has the distinction of being involved in the first Live From The UNION broadcast, in a losing effort to Women's Championship contender Miss Deeds, despite not technically being active at the time4. She'd pick up her first win with the promotion on UNION Unleashed in her hometown of Dublin in January 2017. She'd form a short-lived partnership with Brittany Guile (who she was training in real life) during this time, and was one of several superstars to sign an extended contract in April 2017. She told SCI, however, that her wrestling opportunities were being constantly limited by "niggling injuries" in a July 2017 interview5.
She'd train UNION Wrestling's big prospect, Kelly Gazidis, across 2016 and 2017, eventually facing her protégé in a match on UNION LIVE!, which Gazidis would win. SCI would praise Compton in an article in December 2017 for all the things she'd done for UNION Wrestling's women's division. Despite this, she made it clear during this time that although she believed she was good at the job and took pride in it, she felt wasted being "just a booker". This eventually led to her leaving in late 2018, when UW all but scrapped the Women's Division expansion plans.6
===WCE/PRIZE Wrestling League (2019-2020)===
Compton shockingly debuted at WCE's first helmed PRIZE event, Rise for the PRIZE 2019, in her adopted hometown of Leipzig, challenging Sarah Fenix unsuccessfully in the opener. Despite losing, she achieved the objective of WCE calling for a volunteer, to prevent Fenix smack talking the crowd unopposed, and was subsequently offered a contract and place in the upcoming WCE Openweight Championship tourney.
She'd shockingly win the tourney, and the championship, getting through Jessie Hu, Becca Bond and tourney favourite Sarah Fenix in the final at PRIZE On The Line 2019. She'd retain the title in a Four Corners Ladder Match at Up Front 2019, against Becca Bond, Tova Viklund and Fenix. She turned heel shortly after this, on the pro wrestling social media platform Grapplr7, stating that she was the women's division in PRIZE. This led to an alliance with the similarly-villainous International Champion Gaia Cassidy, with both women helping each other beat down potential rivals. 
Compton would, unfortunately, be forced to vacate the championship in August 2019, due to a serious neck injury. She left the promotion following the expiry of her contract in 2020, and expressed sadness when the promotion confirmed it was closing it's down weeks later.8
Return to UNION Wrestling (2020-present)
UNION Wrestling confirmed Compton's return to the promotion in May 2020, in her old role as Head of Women's Creative and as head "UNION rep" for the female roster. Despite her neck issues, she was able to wrestle a few matches before COVID-19 forced the promotion to halt shows. In June 2021, she signed a new deal with the promotion and confirmed her neck surgery had been a success9.
She'd redebut as a superstar at the Return show in Sheffield in Novemeber 2021, teaming with Taki in a losing effort against siSTARZ. The following show, in Manchester in December, saw Compton almost cleanly beat Sitara, only to have to settle for a DQ victory following interference from Indira. At Touchdown '22 in January 2022, Compton & Taki would be defeated by siSTARZ in a First-to-a-Finish tag match. Shortly before the end of the month, she'd also accompany Taki at the Aberdeen show, watching her lose to the debuting Kenzie Starr.
Compton would compete for the vacant WOTU World Championship at UNION Bring Down The House in March 2022, giving it her all against Lara Grey but ultimately coming up short. She'd lose to Grey again, in a Mixed Tag match also involving UNION World Champion Virgil Baker and Hubris, though she wasn't active in the fall, on the debut of the rebooted UNION Charged in April 2022.
At Open Challenge 2024, Compton and her VeteRUNNERS partner Taki would become the last team to challenge Better Then You (Elsa and Gaia Cassidy) for the WOTU Tag Team Championships before they were retired, coming up short in their efforts.

==Trivia==
*Having lived in Germany for many years, O'Hare is fluent in German.10
*Since debuting as Jackie Compton in 2008, she's almost always been portrayed an unaligned character, sometimes doing heelish things, sometimes acting the face, but never really being properly identified as either- or as a tweener- but more as a character who circumvented the normal alignment system.11
==Behind-the-Scenes/Notes==
#Narrative fluff to flesh her out as a character.
#B2W existed on an old text-based wrestling game, of which the name frustratingly escapes me, that had a tendency when creating wrestlers to call them some variation on "Cowpoke"... something I still utilise to this day.
#AXL has existed across several games, and is in fact the only promotion of mine to do so, existing in the MDickie series, Fire Pro briefly and now again currently, and several text-based games.
#This was due to an issue I faced in Universe after launching the first show without adding the last contingent of my created CAWs... leading to a three match show with inconsistent booking.
#Universe very much loathed booking her on both 2K16 and 2K17, for some reason. The injury part is my narrative rationalisation of this.
#I planned to use her on whatever I ended up doing on PC after the move over from PS4... which ended up being PRIZE.
#Grapplr was created as a way of getting narrative points across in a new, modern way that I could format on the 2K Forums rather than just have as screenshots.
#I imagine her as being the kind of person who would be sad about something like this, though again it's just for fleshing out purposes.
#I plan to use her as a performer in 2K22.
#See points 1 & 8.
#In truth, I've just been so inconsistent with her over the years that it's become a sort of in-joke that she's not classifiable in this way.
