Chapter 22
Traci was taking the week off to recover so she could be ready for Hard Justice. Every one in the locker room knew Jake was going to try and kill Christian. People began to wonder what Christian do to save him self. Every one that knew Jake knew that he never been as mad as he was now.
Jake arrived at the Impact zone. The first thing he did was head right for the dressing room that was being used by Christian. Jake was about to kick the door open when someone yelled out, "He's not he this week." Jake turns and sees D'Amore with team Canada. "Didn't you learn your lessen last week? Or did that punch make you even stupider?" Jake asks mockingly. "You know Reed you are going to regret putting your hands on me. Because this week I managed to book a non title match between you and "The Canadian Enforcer," Bobby Roode," Scott says. "Scott you really are getting stupider and stupider. Let's review our history with me vs. your boys," Jake says.
Jake takes a deep breath. "First I had Bobby beat until you interfered and got him disqualified then I beat Petey and Booby in what became a handy capped match. I have I beat him a few other times. But my all time favorite was when I won that eight man tag match against all of your boys," Jake says. "Yeah but something is different," Scott says. "Oh really what is different," Jake asks. "This," Scott says.
Suddenly Jake gets hit in the back with a steel chair by Christian. Team Canada and Christian start putting the boats to Jake. A group of faces show up and chase the bad guys off. Jake's left eye is starting to swell shut. "Jake come on man we need to get that eye looked at," Christopher Daniels says. Daniels and Rhino help Jake to the trainer's room.
Jake heads to the locker room with an ice bag on his eye. Terry Taylor comes up to Jake. "Jake, management heard what happened and look you don't have to worry your match with Roode is off," Terry says. "It's not off Terry. Let's just say I need to work some aggression," Jake says. "Alright Jake if that's what you want," Terry says.
Team Canada's music played. "The following non title contest is set for one fall with a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first proudly representing his home country of Canada with Coach Scott D'Amore. He is the Canadian Enforcer Bobby Roode," David Penzar said as Bobby and Scott came to ring. Bobby removed his robe and waited for Jake. Jake's music started to play.
Jake did not appear from the ramp instead he came out of the crown and climbed to the top of a turnbuckle and hit a missile drop kick. Scott and Penzar bailed out while Bobby rolled out. Jake bounces off the ropes and hits an over the top rope summersault on both Bobby and Scott knocking both men down. Jake begins to just punch Bobby in the face.
The referee comes out of the ring and yells at Jake, "get it in the ring." Jake throws Bobby in the ring and climbs in. Bobby sits up in the rings allowing Jake to hit the rolling neck snap. Jake brings Bobby to his feet only to get thumbed in the left eye. Bobby begins to work Jake over with punches right to his bad eye. On the outside D'Amore heads over to the broadcast table and yells, "Cyclops isn't doing to well!"
Bobby hits Jake with a neck breaker. Bobby tries to end it and goes for the northern lariat witch he hits. He picks Jake up and puts him on his feet and it appears Jake is dazed. Bobby goes for the lariat again but at the last second Jake turns it into the over head belly to belly suplex. Jake stands up and yells, "Cage this is a preview of this Sunday!" Jake picks up and Bobby and looks like he is going for Scott Hall's old Razor's Edge but instead he runs across the ring and basically power bombs Bobby into the top of the turnbuckle.
Jake then picks Bobby up and hits DDT. Jake then picks him up and again and puts him into an abdominal stretch but turns it into a back breaker. A-1 hits the ring, Jake side steps him and puts him in a crippler cross face. Christian comes to the rings and hits Jake in the head with a chair. Christian turns to celebrate acting like he has won the NWA title when Jake stands up. Christian backs up into Jake and turns around and panics to see Jake standing.
Jake kicks Christian in the gut and sets him up for the Death Valley Driver when Petey Williams and Eric Young make the save. The Canadians bail out. Jake gets a microphone. "Christian Cage I can't think of any better name for this PPV then Hard Justice. Because I will get Justice and it will be the Hard way for you! Just remember this, your brought this on your self," Jake says before getting his title and leaving.
