Chapter 10
It Builds
It was time for Turning Point. Jake walked into the building with Traci. "Well, well, well if it isn't the golden couple of TNA," Jeff Jarrett says as he walks up to them. I hope you enjoy it while it last Jake because tonight after I win that gauntlet I am going to get my title back," Jeff says. "Jeff first off the odds of you winning are next to nothing. But if some how you do win then great because it gives me just one more chance to beat your ass," Jake says.
"Expect there is no way you are winning that title shot Jarrett. Because the belt is coming home to Captain Chrisman," Christian says walking up to them. "You know what Cage if you win then it's even better because then I can beat you ass and I want to do that again even more than I want to beat Jarrett's," Jake says. "All I know is that your baby is going to know his dad is a loser the second it looks at you," Christian says. "All of you Crackers need to stop thinking about that title because tonight the title is coming home with my boys either Gangster Ki or Homicide," Julies Smokes says walking up to them with Reyes.
The tension is so thick that you need a chain saw to cut it. "Ok everyone head to there dressing room's now," Jim Cornet says as he and security walk up. Everybody walks away with out coming to blows.
Bryan Danielson walks into the building with his ROH title on his shoulder. AJ is waiting for him. "What do you want Styles?" Danielson asks. "I just to want to warn you. Jake is my best friend and if you stab him in the back tonight then you will pay for it!" AJ says staring Danielson in the face. "Back off Styles I know what in the contract. And I want to prove once and for all I am the best in the world and when I beat Reed it will become a fact," Danielson says.
Homicide and Senshi are getting ready. Konnan walks in more pissed of the usual. "That fat bitch Jim Cornet just banned everyone from ringside!" He yells throwing his water bottle. "It doesn't matter tonight is our night," Senshi said. "Yeah well do what ever you have to do," Konnan says. "Oh we will," Homicide says pulling out a fork that he has actually sharpened for tonight.
Out in front of the crowd Mike Tenay and Don West were hosting the pre show. "And the main event tonight we be the teacher student team of Homicide and Senshi taking on the dream team of ROH world champion "American Dragon," Bryan Danielson and the NWA world champion "Omaha Outlaw," Jake Reed," Don West said. "You know Don a lot of people think that Homicide and Senshi have an advantage because of the fact they are regular tag team partners on the Independent scene but I know for a fact that Jake Reed and Bryan Danielson are former tag partners in the UK they teamed together in FWA," Mike says.
"But professor I know by talking to Jake Reed that the team self destructed around the time Jake Reed came to TNA," Don says. "Your right Don as a matter fact at one point Reed actually took the ROH title by beating by Danielson (see Hidden Truth) but before that Danielson who regained that title latter on has actually beaten Reed seven times in various promotions in various countries," Mike says.
Jeremy Borash was with Jake and Danielson both men had there title belts. "I am here with the two world champions that will team in to night main event. Now gentlemen early tonight Mike Tenay documented the history between you two. Now are you two going to get along well enough to get though this one match?" JB asks. The microphone is right in front of Jake but Danielson pulls the microphone over to him. "Well JV…" "It's JB." "That's what I said JB. I am a professional so I can put the old beef behind me for tonight. Besides everyone knows I am used to carrying Jake," Danielson says.
Jake starts laughing. "You carrying me now that is funny. Because carrying doesn't mean letting someone do all the work and then slapping them in the back of the head and stealing the pin. Because that was our career as a tag team," Jake says. "Man you were high back then because you never did any work. Unless you call work getting your ass kicked," Danielson says.
"You know what this is the exact same argument we had the night I beat you for that," Jake says tapping the ROH title with his index and middle fingers. "You got lucky. I beat seven times before that. I made you tap, I pinned you, and then I made you tap again twice…" Traci walks up to them. "Yeah but to be fair part of that is because the ring apron was white and you blended in," Jake says. "Oh that's real funny make a joke about my skin tone yeah I'm pale that is hilarious," Danielson says.
"LOOK OUT!" Both men yell suddenly. Jake and Bryan and Danielson move as Reyes and Smokes attack from behind Danielson while Konnan and Hernandez attack from behind Jake. Using there belts as weapons the two champions chase off there attackers.
Paul Heyman watched as Christian Cage won the gauntlet for a future title shot. Christian had been in full heel mode even using a chain had hidden in his boot to knock Steve Cornino out and win. Paul knew there was one match left the main event. "Oh Jake keep hold of that belt as long as you can because you won't have any chance of keeping it soon," Paul thought.
It was main event from Homicide and Senshi were already in the ring. The light dimmed and Danielson made his way to ring but stopped and waited on the outside. Jake walked over to Traci and gave her a quick kiss. "I love you," Jake said. "Love you too," Traci said. Jake's music stared to play as he made his way up the tunnel for what he knew would be a tough match.
