Chapter 14
Victory Road was less than a week away. Jake was backstage watching the show on a monitor with Traci. "You know Jake you already did your one segment for the week we could go home," Traci says. "Yeah I know. But I want to be here in case RVD tries to pull something. Unless you really want to leave," Jake says. "No I'm fine," Traci says.
Jake goes back to watching the match between Senshi and Andy Douglas. "Ok so what are you looking for," Traci says. "Ok I watched the footage from one of the attacks on me and I noticed how the guy throws a punch so I am trying to see if anybody in TNA throws a punch the same way," Jake says.
"Well have you seen anything," Traci says. "No not yet. Plus the guy may be able to change up how he does things to throw me off," Jake says. "Aren't you giving him too much credit," Traci says. "I really don't know anymore," Jake says. "Well maybe he is waiting until after your match with RVD," Traci says.
"What hell is going on," Jake says watching the monitor and seeing a masked team attacking Andy and Chase. "Who are those guys?" Traci asked. "I don't know and none of them are the guys after me but I am going to help the Naturals. "Jake wait I think I know who they are," Traci yell but Jake is gone.
The masked team is really beating down the Naturals. Jake comes into the ring and takes out the heaver set masked guy. He goes after the second man but RVD attacks Jake. The masked guys remove the mask and reveal they are Team 3-D. RVD and Team 3-D throw Jake and the Naturals out of the ring. Heyman comes into the ring. "Well it seems that the greatest single wrestler and the greatest tag team are reunited with the evil genius. And Jake Reed, Naturals you won't have those titles for long," Paul says.
Jake takes a microphone. "You know what this is? It's three washed up pieces of crap trying to get one more claim to fame," Jake says. "Jake you're the reason we got jumped and nearly lost our careers. And this Sunday we will make sure the NWA title comes home to RVD," Brother Ray says. "Oh my brother testify," Brother Devon says. "Yeah well see. Oh and Devon get a new line," Jake says.
The guy was alone thinking to himself. "I have to give Heyman credit. Some how got Team 3-D back on his side. Now they are going to help RVD," The guy thought. He stood up and paced. "I am to close to getting the NWA title to let that stoner and cult leader get it before me," the guy said.
The guy was steaming. "I can't believe it. I am going to have to help Jake. If I want that belt I am going to have to make sure Jake Reed is champion when I wrestle him," The guy said getting madder. He picked up a water bottle and throws it across the room.
Jake and Traci were driving home. "I can't believe those two," Traci says. "Ah once a Kool Aid drinker always a Kool Aid drinker," Jake says. "Yeah just add them to list of things we have to worry about," Traci says. "Look Traci I already talked to the Naturals they are going to have my back if need be," Jake says. "Think about this though Team 3-D aren't the only former ECW guys in TNA. For all we know the guy is tied to that. Heyman could be trying to revive ECW in TNA after the WWE's version failed," Traci says.
"Yeah it could be that. Or it could be John Cena or Edge because they now I am the real world champion," Jake says. "Why aren't you more worried about this?" Traci asks. "I spend so much time worrying that I am just sick of it. Besides right now the guy I have to stay focused on is RVD," Jake says.
"Good point because the ladder match is going to be dangerous," Traci says. "Ah so are almost all the matches I do," Jake says. "Good point. I mean you have been handy capped matches, cage matches, war games, king of the mountain. Then there was the two out of three falls match were you were in a weapons match followed by a dog collar match and then a fall count any where match," Traci says.
"And at least this time the odds aren't too good that I will thrown into a brick wall," Jake says. "Yeah you'll just fall of the top of a ladder," Traci says. "Gee thanks," Jakes say jokingly.
Paul Heyman was about leave the Impact Zone. He had been help up. As walked to the car he ran into Jim Cornett. "Jim glade I ran into you. You see I know the Naturals are supposed to defend there title against Alex Shelly and Johnny Devine but I think you need to make some adjustments," Paul says. Jim who is at his car takes the tennis racket out of the trunk. "You know bucket head if you think I am about to let you call your own shots you stupider than John Zanding," Jim says.
"Look Jim I just want you to get ready. Because RVD will be the NWA world champion. Ray and Devon will win the tag titles and I will control all of them. There is no getting rid of me. Who knows what I might do after we get those belts we might even take them to the extreme," Paul says.
Jim whacks Paul with the racket. Paul falls to the ground. "No you listen to me. I watched as took wrestling the industry I love more than anything with the exception of my mother. Now I had to watch as Vince Russo grew into power in the WWE and watched as he poisoned that place. If you think I will let you ruin TNA than you are nuts," Jim says as he leaves.
"Just wait Jim. Because changes are coming," Paul yells as he stands up. "I am going to lead my boys to the top of TNA," Paul thinks as he gets in his car and to leave.
