Chapter 27
It was time for Impact. Today was the day that Jake would have to name the rest of his team. Scott had shown up early and kept begging to be let out of the war games match but Jim, Terry, and Dixie all told him he had to do it. Meanwhile Eric had quickly shot to the most popular names in TNA now that he was gone from team Canada.
Jake, Traci and AJ were waiting to go out and announce the rest of the team. Team Canada was in the ring. "Damit it Jake Reed get out here now," Scott yells. "Jake grabs a microphone from the sound table as he, Traci, and AJ headed to the ring. "Hey Scott are you upset about something? Could it be that Eric Young finally realized that it would be best for him to get the hell away from you ASAP? Could it be that you are going to be locked in a cage with me? Or could it be that well you know there is no way I am losing my belt?" Jake says.
"Reed you know this isn't fair. I'm not a wrestler anymore I am a manger," Scott says. "Well Scott you signed a contract that listed Team Canada as the opponents for me well with Eric gone you're the only member of Team Canada left," Jake says. "Damit Reed I should at least know who is going to be on your team besides AJ," Scott says.
"If that's what you wanted why didn't you just say so," Jake says trying to piss Scott off even more. "You know full I asked earlier," Scott yells. "Hold on before I do this why don't you bring Christian Cage out here. That way I can see the look on his ugly little face," Jake says.
Christian's music plays and he makes his way to the ring. "Alright Jake I'm out here so go ahead tell us the losers that you picked," Christian says. "Well the losers I know in TNA are the five Canada males I see in this ring," Jake says. "Just get on with it," Scott says. "Ok well I thought long and hard about who I wanted to bring in. I wanted the best of the best but then I realized Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard are retired," Jake says still delaying.
"Will you get to the point," Christian yells. "You know for a guy that snuck around and attacked me while wearing a mask you sure don't have a lot of patience. Ok guy number one is a guy that a history with you history Christian and with me. He is a former ECW and NWA world heavyweight champion. He is the War Machine Rhino," Jake says as Rhino music hits and Rhino comes to the ring.
Jake gives Rhino the microphone. "Christian I told you sooner or later the past would catch up to you. And now it has in the form of the War Machine. And D'Amore I am going to cut you and your boys down with the Gore! Gore! Gore!" Rhino says. "Ok that's one who's next," Christian says.
"Well next we have a guy that might really shock people you see this guy and I don't like each other. This guy and I have beaten the hell out of each other time and again. This guy is the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe," Jake yells. The crowd erupts as Joe enters the ring and then shakes hands with Jake.
On commentary Mike Tenay and Don West are freaking out. "Don we wondered if they teamed together and now we are going to find out," Mike says. "And professor it's in a match both me are specially built for," Don says. "And there is still one more name left," Mike yells excitedly.
The crowd is chanting "Joe is going to kill you," at the Canadians. "Now hold on. I have one more guy back there. Now as shocking as me and Joe working together this may literally blow the roof off the Impact zone," Jake says. "Will just tell us who the hell it is," Scott yells getting sick of all the time Jake is taking. "Scott look Burger King now open to 2:00 A.M. you have plenty of time to get your whoppers," Jake says. Scott is on verge of snapping and doing something really stupid.
"Scott breath you look like that vain on you forehead is about to explode. I had a boss like that once and he died of a massive heart attack…Not really I am just staling for more time," Jake says. Traci whispers something in Jake ear.
"Oh alright I get on with it. You see it the fifth guy is another guy you would think I would never normally work with but you know he made some changes and I am big believer in second chances. So the final guy on my team is Mr. Pay Per View. RVD! Rob Van Dam!" Jake yells as the crowd goes freaking nuts.
RVD's music hits and he comes to the ring. No one can believe what they are seeing. RVD gets in Christian's face and does hi back pointing taunt. Christian throws a punch and the brawl is on. Team Canada bails out and leaves Jake's team standing tall.
