Chapter 2
Author's note- Thank you to all my reviewers. Remember they really help keep my going. Also the reason it took so long is because I couldn't up load anything fora few days. I a few more chapter written and they should be up soon. But remember review.
Jake woke the next morning. Traci was already up putting her makeup on. "Good morning Traci," Jake says walking up to her giving a kiss. "Good morning," Traci says. "So what do you want to do today?" Jake asks. "Well you have interview scheduled all day," Traci says. "Again that all I have done since I won the belt," Jake complains.
"That is part of being champion. You have to become the public face of the company," Traci says. "Yeah I know. Maybe it will get better next week because I will have done an interview with every wrestling related show in the world by then," Jake mocks. "Yeah and then you will be working every small NWA promotion that is offering you a match," Traci says.
"Well I want to remind people that this is the top belt in wrestling. Besides of the NWA's local promotion could use a boast," Jake says. "Yeah they could. Plus you want to be compared to the old greats of the NWA," Traci says. "Yeah well the NWA title took a lot of damage with WCW leaving the NWA and then that Paul Heyman having Shane Douglas throw it down," Jake says. "How ironic is it now that he is trying to get it for his boy," Traci says. "Yeah and you know what they might have planned if RVD has another lucky night or he cheat and beats me," Jake says. "Well don't lose and I will make sure Heyman stays out of your match," Traci says. They kiss again.
TNA management was in a meeting. "All right what are we going to do about the US title?" Dixie Carter asks. "Well as I have said time and again Miss Carter it would be best to have a sixteen man title tournament," Jim Cornett says. "Look if we had more than an hour of TV time I would love that idea. But I think it would be best to just pick the top two contenders and let them fight it out," Terry Taylor says. "Yes but a tournament would add to the prestige of the belt," Mike Tenay says. "You know we are wasting time because Reed won't even hand over the belt and those two morons didn't make him hand it over," Scott D'Amore says.
"Oh please Scott I remember the last time your team had the tag title you tried to make Sharkboy and Mikey Batts the number one contenders to the tag titles," Tenay says. "I really don't see any harm in Jake holding on to the belt until. After all I remember what he gone though to win and keep that title," Dixie says. "Well as the guy that booked Reed in OVW he may volunteer to wrestle twice to keep the US title as long as he can," Jim says. "In that case then I think..." Scott starts to say. "I swear if you say any member of Team Canada getting a title shot I will break out the tennis racket," Jim says already sick of Scott pushing his guys in every title match. Scott shuts up.
Jeff Jarrett bursts into the room. "Alright I demand to know when I get my rematch," Jeff demands. "Jeff it would be in your best interest to remember you and your father no longer own this company. And if you ever interrupt a meeting you are not involved in then you will never get a title shot again," Dixie says. "Listen Dixie I am the man that has kept TNA alive. You know why people are watching Impact and buying the pay per views it because they are praying and hoping that I lose. I didn't nearly kill myself time and again to be shut out now that the company is breaking out," Jeff says.
"You know Jeff you have done a lot but guess what both RVD and Samoa Joe have also done enough to earn a title match. We will decide and let you know," Terry says. "Fine I'll leave but now this by hook or by crook I will always get my title back. Ask AJ, ask Ron Killings, then go ask Raven. Finally go ask the WWE reject of Rhino and Christian," Jeff says before he leaves.
In his home gym RVD is working out. He hits some stiff kicks on the heavy bag and then decides to take a break. He started to think of the years he had wasted in the WWE. Part of him still blamed Brian Reed for injuring him. He hated HHH and the McMahon's for holding him back. But if he could win the NWA title he would prove once and for all that he truly was the whole f'n show.
That is why he was glad that Paul E. had come to TNA with him. Most people hated Paul but if he truly believed in a person. Paul would do anything to get his client to the top. Paul had always been the one supporting RVD and now once again he had the chance to do something about it.
In the New Japan Los Angles Dojo, Samoa was in the ring having just giving a beat down to some of the students. "You know if you boys can keep that up someday you just might be wrestlers," Joe says getting out of the ring. Joe still had to get home and pack to do a triple shot week end for ROH and the NWA title shot was still on his mind. He had held the ROH title for twenty one mouths. But outside of the die hard wrestling fans few people even knew him. But this was a match on PPV. A chance to finally beat the only guy had had never pinned or made tap out.
Going at it from a win loss record he had the best odds. But both RVD and Jarrett could play the political games of wrestling. At least with Jim Cornett in power there was someone that knew how great he could truly be. Cornett was a man that wanted real wrestling and after all he was Samoa Joe and he was pro wrestling.
While all this was going someone was watching the tape of Lockdown. He watched the end as Jake climbed to the top to celebrate his title win. "Enjoy it while you can because it won't last long," The guy says.
