I am so sick of this stuff," I say looking over the latest brief about my divorce now Traci wants some bean counter to look over everything to make sure I am not hiding assets. "Jake I know this is getting tough but it will end." "When Paul? I mean hiding assets she knows me I got nothing; outside of a leather jacket," I say. "I'm aware Jake. After all Jake you hired me," He jokes.
"Look what should I do what do you recommend?" I ask. "Honestly Jake. Just let her do it it's not big deal unless you something to hide. Do you have something to hide?" "No. I just got a lot on my plate I just want to take this off of it," I say. "I know you do Jake but the legal system moves slowly and when you try to speed odds are it just kicks back and hits you in the face. But hey we are making progress it wasn't all that long ago you wanted to keep this marriage going," Paul says. "Can't we use the fact that she had an affair against her?" I ask getting mad and not wanting to talk about my drunk days.
"We could if you weren't having a baby with another woman. I know she had already moved out but I know this judge and if we make that an issue she will use Madison against you," Paul tells me. I threw the paper down. "Alright let her look at all of it. But I am not giving up the house," I say. "You not going to lose the house I swear," Paul says. "I thought you weren't supposed to say stuff like that," I remind him. "I'm not so what does that tell you?" He asks. "Either you just don't care anymore or you are sure I am not losing the house," I say.

Hulk Hogan was working out in the ring. It took time to get the feeling it took for each ring and the TNA ring was smaller and stiffer than the ones he had been in with WWE during his last run. While he had a match under his belt in TNA it had been a tag match and it wasn't a chance to shut up Jake Reed.
"Hey boss you are looking good," Eric says walking up to the ring. "Really that seems to be the opposite of how you really feel," Hogan said looking down at him. "Hulk I never said you don't have a chance I said you shouldn't be doing this. Hulk think long term please..." "Enough Eric sometimes you just got to fix the problem yourself. Look at how many guys we have sent to take out Reed. Remember how that whole Desmond Wolfe thing backfired," Hogan says.
"Well still got control of the company," Bischoff says. "Only because Reed melted down. Look you are working on Anderson cone next Sunday the world title is back where it belongs. Dixie Carter has all but disappeared. Sting I can handle but Reed and Sting is to much," Hogan says. Eric knows Hogan has a point. "Alright fine but sign this," Bischoff says handing Hogan a piece of paper. "What is it?" Hogan asks. "Ah you knew something for the building for Bound for Glory," Eric says. "Alright," Hogan says before singing it.
Eric leaves him alone he gets to the office area and hands the paper over to a man in a suit. "File that by the of business today," He orders. "Yes sir Mr. Bischoff," he says. "Hulk I'm sorry but I have to protect myself," Eric thinks.

Why did I agree to do this? Oh yeah part of being a wrestler. Mike Tenay was going to do what they were calling a head to head interview with me and Hogan. We would sit in the ring and each answer five questions. It's late I should just skip it but I this is a chance to get even more under Hogan orange skin. Tenay shakes my hand as we wait for Hogan. From what I've been told he was working out earlier and wanted to grab a shower that he swore would take ten minutes that was over an hour ago.
"Alright I'm here," he says. We both sit down in chairs and the production team gets us ready. "Alright guys in five, four, three two one." "Slammiversay is this Sunday. Joining me now the two men that will face off in the main event. Former TNA World Champion Jake Reed and The Immortal Hulk Hogan. Gentlemen the first question do you respect each other? Hulk we start with you," Tenay says.
Hogan takes a second to think. "No what is there to respect about this guy. He's the kind of guy holding this place down," Hogan says. "And Jake?" "Well Mike I guess I can still respect what he has done in the past. But on a personal level not a chance," I say. "Question two is a pin fall victory enough or are you looking for more? Jake this time we start with you. "It's been said before. But Hogan you are a cancer and it's not about hurting you but I have got to drive you out," I say.
"See Reed that is what you don't get. I know more about this business than anyone and I can only help things around here. Now if I pin you it won't be enough I am going to beat you back into line," Hogan says. Before Mike can ask the next question I have to respond his line about helping. "If you were actually here to help you could do a lot for this place. But you only look out for Hulk Hogan," I say.
"Moving on third question..." "You have no idea the things I have done behind the scenes in the office with the sponsors," Hogan yells. "Third question both of you have allies can this huge match truly be one on one?" Mike asks. "Well Tenay it's in the contract. Anyone that interferes is fired," Hogan says sharply. "Look my friends know I don't help unlike his lackey's that have no faith in him," I say.
Hogan stands up and so do I. "I got no problem kicking you ass right here," I say. Security steps in to back us apart. "You snot nosed punk I will kick your ass," Hogan says. I shouldn't do this hell its the kind of thing I know goes to far but with Hogan you gotta break a few rules. "Well mike it looks like we aren't going to finish so I will just say in closing to Brooke, Nick, and Jennifer I am sorry for what I am going to do him," I say.
"You son of a bitch leave my family out of this," Hogan yells. I could burst through the guards and start a fight but why. I just leave my last line being a great last word to leave him on.
