The Road Back

Badly injured in a match Jake Reed must recover and regain his standing in TNA and his pride.

Note- Yeah I know been a while since I updated and no Outlaw Invasion is not dead just got an idea. And I wanted to something different with Jake again. So bare with me and of course review. First chapter is short but it the rest should be pretty good length and again review.

I stood looking at the water as Madison walked over to me. "What the hell is wrong with you?" AJ yells again. "So this is it?" Madison ask. "Yeah this is it," I say not looking at her. "You really want to just walk away have that be the end of you run in TNA," Madison. "Its how it has to be," I say. "If want to walk away that one thing but you being run out," Madison. "Just drop it Madison," I say trying not to yell. "Why?" She asks. "Because I'm afraid Madison. I was hurt like I've never been before and you when you get scared like this your done," I say.

Months Earlier

"I swear I could take that kid any where and she wouldn't cry," I say showing AJ the latest picture of Hope. "Remember when Wendy had little AJ and you started hiding my camera now I know why," AJ says. "To much with the photos lately?" I ask. "Yes," AJ and five other guys yell out. "Well can you guys blame me? Have you ever seen…" Someone throws a chair at me. "Ok I'll stop," I say. "So Reed you finally going to let the world know when you are using that title shot you won for that tournament? Aries yells out. "Come on Austin you know an Irishman always keeps his trump card closet to his chest," I say. "Come on bro at some point you have to cash in I mean we heard about a Pay Per View being in Omaha," Devon says. I smile and get up and leave the locker room. Hey just the man I was looking for," Hulk Hogan says walking up to me. "How's it going Hulk?" I ask. "You know next week King Mo arrives here in TNA and well Samoa Joe's been talking about attacking him," Hogan says. "And you want me to cool Joe down a little," I say. "Pretty much," Hogan says. "No problem for once I'm not hurting should be kind of fun slapping Joe around," I say.

I walk off heading towards the Knockouts dressing room. "Hey you got the pictures?" Madison says to me."Yeah and I think we need stop showing them to so many people," I say. "They guys throw another chair?" Madison asks. "Yeah and there aim is getting better," I say.

"Taz we got a renewal of one of TNA's greatest rivalries," Mike says. "I remember back in day watching the matches with Jake Reed and Samoa Joe," Taz says as Joe makes his entrance. Jake comes out and gets in the ring. Jake and Joe shake hands. The referee calls for the bell. Jake and Joe circle each other before tying up. Jake is able to get Joe into hammer lock but Joe hit an elbow right into the side of Jake's head. Jake drops the hold and Joe hits a big clothes line. Joe than lands a big back sexton and cover count of one count of two, Jake kicks out. Joe pulls Jake up and whips him into the ropes and hits a back body drop. Jake rolls out of the ring. Jake walks around the ring and looks at Joe who motions for him to get back in the ring. Jake gets back onto the apron and Joe lets him get back in the ring.

Joe is stunned and this allows Jake to hit a suplex. Both men are up and start to exchange blows. Jake scores with a good cross and whips Joe into the corner and than hits a running dropkick. Jake follow up with a DDT. Joe rolls over and sits up allowing Jake to hit a rolling neck snap. Jake drops an elbow.

Madison hands me an ice bag. We are back home now. "Thanks beautiful," I say. "So you worried about next week?" Madison asks. "Why would I be worried? I think there is a good chance King Mo might like me. "Jake most people hate you," Madison says . Madison things are going fine right now. Hell even those crazy Aces and Eights guys didn't come after me," I say. "Yeah you will be fine," Madison says if only I knew how wrong she would be
