Chapter 54

Note-Please Review

Eric Bischoff was in the ring alone. "You know there is something about Jake Reed you have to respect. I mean I got the guy fired nearly two years ago. And he just won't take a hint it like a watching a boxer well past his prime who refuses to go down even as he takes a beating. But at some point you just say what an idiot and Reed you an idiot. Your never going to win,"Bischoff says as the fans boo. "See let me me this clear at Hardcore Justice Jake Reed will four men in matches where anything goes fall count anywhere. Do you really think he is going to last I mean all four of my men are licking there chops at the idea of getting there hands on him. And I will be watching and enjoying it all but you see Reed I'm not leaving anything up to chance. So I am putting a bounty on your head. Any wrestler the TNA roster injures you before the Pay Per View they will get ten thousand dollars and I will owe them a favor and trust me boys it anything you want a title shot a raise someone hired someone fired just take Reed out. Hurt him I want him weak," Bischoff says.

"This guy is sick," Mike Tenay says. "Its all or nothing Eric is going to make sure he has every advantage. "And Dixie Carter you fool you are betting everything on Jake Reed to save the day. Dixie we took this company from you with ease and now I will to get you enjoy watching you lose your last shred of hope," Eric taunts.

I enter the building. "Jake, Eric Bischoff just put a bounty on your head. How are you goind deal with that on top of everything else?" The Camerman asks. "A bounty really. I guess Eric is getting really desperate. I say if anyone is stupid enough to come after me boys you better get the job done because you will need that money for the doctor bills," I say as Mexican America approaches him. "Well look what we have here the payday," Hernandez says. "Easy big fella you don't want to do this," I say. "Oh I think we do essa," Anarquia says. "Why the hell are you two talking to him just get him lets get the damn money," Sarita yells. Before they can do anything I kick Hernandez in the gut and double him over. Anarquia swings wildly but duck under and lag a haymaker. Hernandez has recovered and attacks but I hit a spin kick. "Tell you what guys one of you want to try me come on down to the ring later tonight.

"Alright that is it you are not going anywhere alone from here on out," AJ says. "Oh calm down AJ," I say. "Why are you acting like tis isn't a big deal?" AJ asks. "Because it's not a big deal of course he is trying to take me out what else do you expect," I say taping up my ankles. "Look Jake AJ is right," Bobby says. "Oh will you two shut up. The guy is doing what someone should have done a long time ago," Storm says putting down his beer. Everyone shuts up if nothing else out of shock. "Guys let Reed do his thing. Sure it's a god damn risk but it's his to make," Storm says. "They have a bounty on his head," AJ insist. "I'm not saying we don't watch his backside but lets not act like he is a new born," Storm says. "Thank you now if you excuse me I have to got beat up Hernandez," I say gripping my jacket. If these are my last few matches in TNA I'm going out with the old Omaha Outlaw look, jeans, t-shirts, and of of course my black leathers.

Mexican America was already in the ring as Jake's music starts to play. "Mike why does Jake Reed always take risks like these?" Taz asks. "You know Taz I got a chance to talk to Jake a few weeks back. And I think he just feels so much quilt about not stopping Immortal before they took over. And Jake doesn't back off from challengers that's been the trademark of his career," Tenay says as Jake runs to the ring. The two men trade punches to start. Jake ducks under the strike hits the ropes and goes for a cross body but it doesn't even move Hernandez. Jake hits the ground and Hernandez picks him up for a suplex. Hernandez yells at the rest of Mexican America to give him a chair with Rosita hands him. "No don't do that," Jackson James yells. Jake gets up and drop kicks the chair into Hernandez's head. Hernandez is stunned allowing Jake to DDT him again into the chair witch he had dropped. The referee kicks the chair out of the ring. Hernandez sits up and Jake hits the rolling neck snap.

Anarquia jumps up the apron distracts the ref allowing Rosita to jump in and low blow Jake. Hernandez picks Jake up and rams him back first into the corner and than side suplexs him to the center. Hernandez gives Jake a spine buster. "Jake is in real trouble her Mike," Taz says. The rest of Mexican America sets up a table on the outside as Hernandez sets up for the Border Toss. "Oh man," Mike says but Jake break Hernandez's grip and escapes. Hernandez turn around and Jake hits an enziqurie. Jake than gives a stunned Hernandez a neck breaker. Both men are already hurting and take a moment to recover. Jake gets up and charges at Hernandez who hits him with a big clothesline. Hernandez gets up and and just stomps on Jake.

Hernandez sets up Jake up in the corner and takes off his shirt and gives Jake the biel throw. Hernandez climbs to the top to hit the big splash. Cover count of one, count of two, Hernandez pulls Jake up and than head buts him. Jake goes falls and rolls out of the ring. Anaraquia runs over and slams Jake into the guard rail. Hernandez is out of the ring and picks up the ring steps. Jake rolls out of the way as Hernandez drops the stares trying to crush him. "Lets face Hernandez doesn't want to win this match he only wants to hurt Jake," Mike yells. "Ten thousand dollars and a anything you want promise from the boss will do that," Taz says.

Jake starts backing up the ramp just to try and get a breath. When Pope runs out and hits him in the back. "What the hell?" Tenay yells. "Pope going for bounty remember Bischoff never said it had to be in match," Taz points out. Hernadez shoves Pope. "What your doing man?" Hernandez yells. "Pope has got some bills to pay son," Pope yells. Jake has gotten over to his leather jacket and pulls the tire iron out and than bashes Pope in the head with it. He than hits Hernandez and Anarquia. "Come on you want the bounty. Come and get it," Jake yells.

Gunner jumps out of the and attacks Jake. "Your going to lose Jake. And I don't give a damn who I hurt to get rid of you," Gunner yells kicking at Jake. AJ attacks Gunner and runs him off. "He's got ten days left and you can't help him," Gunner yells. "Gunner is right in that match its all on Jake Reed for control of the company," Tenay says
