Chapter 28
It had been a week since Jake had announced his team. The whole world was wondering why Jake had picked Joe and RVD after all the battles in the past with them. Meanwhile TNA management had picked Raven and Ron Killings to guard the doors so no one could get in the cage early.
Jake was in the ring with a microphone in his hand. Traci and the rest of his team were at ring side. "You know over the last week I keep getting asked the same question. It's usually worded like this, "Jake Reed after all the problems you have had with Samoa Joe and RVD why you would you pick them to team with you at war games?" Well I'll tell you why. It's because I have been in the ring with them. I know how hard they go after wins. Also like I have said time and again I believe in second chances. God know I needed a few in my life," Jake says.
Suddenly Team 3D's music started to play. They and Paul Heyman came out. "You know I have seen a lot in the wrestling world but this just makes me sick. The fact that Rob Van Dam the man that was once the flag barrier of ECW would turn his back on me and then join up with Jake Reed. And once again just want to please you idiot fans," Paul says. RVD takes the microphone from Jake. "You know Paul for year I let you get in my head. I let you control. Well no more I have moved on," RVD says. "You don't get to decided when you move on I decide when," Paul yells.
"You know Paul after talking to Rob I have to come to realize you were the one pulling the strings that lead to attack on my brother's name. So I have an idea I'm not doing anything to night. I couldn't help but notice that your boys have those new NWA tag title that they cheated Chase and Andy out of while AJ and I have the World and US titles so how about the main event tonight is Team 3-D vs. Me and AJ," Jake says as the crowd cheers Jake on.
Paul actually starts laughing. "You and the midget against the greatest tag team ever. That has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard," Paul says. "Not as funny as Paul Heyman businessmen," Jake says. "You know want that match you got it just know this the only way out is though the tables," Brother Ray says. "Oh my brother testify," Brother Devon says.
"For the love god Devon get a new line. At least Ray tries to change it up," Jake says. Team 3-D starts to come down when security stops them. Jim Cornett comes down. "Listen this match will happen but it will be the main event this week. Now I want everyone to head the back until it time," Jim says not wanting a riot to start.
Once backstage Paul was approached by Scott D'Amore. "Alright Scott it's done but just remember the deal one of my guys gets a NWA title shot after you take it from Jake," Paul says. "I know but you better remember you have to hurt Jake before you get anything," Scott says. "Hey don't worry my boys will get it done," Paul says.
Scott walked into the Team Canada dressing room. "Scott is Paul still playing along?" Christian asks. "Yeah he is. They are going to hurt Reed making it easy for you to knock him out or make him quiet and thus you become NWA world champion again," Scott says.
"The clock is ticking. I can't wait to strap the belt around my waist," Christian says. "Yeah but what are we going to do about you coach. You know they are going to go after you the second you get in there," Bobby says. "Look boys I will go in last and with Reed and AJ hurt going in we well have the advantage," Scott says.
"The following contest is set for one fall with a TV time limit. Introducing first New Your city accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman. Brother Ray and Brother Devon, Team 3-D," Jeremy Borash says as Team 3-D enters the ring. Jake's music started to play as he and AJ came down with Traci.
