Chapter 29
Notes- I am so sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up. I will try harder to get more updates up sooner. And remember to review so I know if people are liking this story.
Night One
Jake and Traci walked into the Frontier Fieldhouse. Tonight was the first of his two ROH matches. TNA had given him time off so he could get ready. A few of the guys backstage give him some looks. Jim Cornett walked up to them. "Jake how was your flight?" He asked. "It was fine. Look just point me to the dressing room. I need to go over a few things with Hero and Claudio," Jake says. "Well ah Jake, I don't know how to tell you this," Jim says.
"What is it?" Jake asks. "Well you know my Lt. Adam Pearce?" Jim asks. "I head of him once," Jake says in a tone that really says he doesn't like Pearce. "Well you know he has a short temper and you know what those two idiots people call the "Kings of Wrestling," are like?" Jim asks. "Ok Jim cut to the chase," Traci says. "Well long story short after pissing off Adam they are on there way to hospital," Jim says. "Do I ever catch a break?" Jake yells.
Delirious runs up to the group yelling and waving his arms. "Corny verafe jokmbr! Reed coarengaoi maogbhws mta toqaw," he yells at them. "What?" Jim yells having no idea what is going on. "vaogoele tap, tap," Delirious yells. Meanwhile Jake is just nodding his head. "Don't do that," Traci says. "Do what?" Jake asks. "Act like you know what he is saying," Traci says. "But I do understand he is saying," Jake says.
"Boagnio feojbeeljj nnhjoj DANIELSON," Delirious says with a tone of venom in his voice on Danielson. "Well what is he saying?" Jim asks. "Well to cut to the chase he wants to be one of my partners because he hates Danielson," Jake says waving his hand in front of Delirious who has gone into a trance. "Alright fine, but you need to find one more," Jim says. "Alright come on Lizardman," Jake says.
Later that night it was time for the six man tag. This was going to be tough because Jake and Delirious still hadn't found a partner. AJ was not booked for this event and was in Atlanta. Steve Corino was booked to team with Adam Pearce to take on Homicide and Samoa Joe and had just been busted open badly so he couldn't come out again. Joe's back was pretty beat up from a series matches with Roderick Strong and a battle with Senshi in TNA. Rhino had never worked a ROH so he wasn't an option either.
Austin Aries and Roderick Strong were already in the ring as the "The Final Countdown" played brining Bryan Danielson to the ring with Paul Heyman. There is a very mixed reaction. Heyman quickly takes the microphone from the ring announcer. "Come on Reed times up. You little friends are on there way to the ER and all you could find was that gibberish speaking freak," Heyman says.
The lights dim as Jake and Delirious come out. Delirious tries to rush into the ring but Jake holds him back knowing that odds are the three guys will start a beat down the second they enter the ring. Jake and Delirious slowly make there way to the ring and stop at the apron. The lights dim again as the ROH music of Christopher Daniels plays. The crowd explodes into chants "Fallen Angle." It a huge shock to everyone as Daniels wasn't booked on this event. Alison Danger leads Christopher Daniels to the ring.
Alison hands him a microphone. "You people didn't think ROH could have an anniversary weekend with out the Fallen Angle did you? So when I saw my buddy Jake Reed was in a bind and that it was a chance to get in the ring with the ROH champ I had to come out. So Jake, what do you say?" Daniels asks.
Jake nods yes as Daniels removes his rope. Jake and Delirious has already gone into his pre match trace and is crouched in the corner. Jake offers his hand to Aries first showing that he is at least willing to follow the code of honor. Aries just flips Jake off. Jake and Daniels climb out of the ring.
Roderick Strong will start for his team. The referee calls for the bell causing Delirious to freak out and run around the outside of the ring. Paul E. makes the mistake of being in the path of is forced to run away and in what may be the funniest moment in ROH history actually trips and falls face first on the ground. "Watch you feet," Jake yells as Delirious rolls back in the ring for a second only to roll back out run around again and knock Paul E. over for a second time.
Roderick has enough of the clowning around and stomps Delirious as he rolls back in. Strong brings the masked man up and gives him a very hard chop that echoes off every wall. Delirious chops back only for Roderick to hit him again with an even stiffer chop that sends Delirious down to the ground. Delirious rolls to his corner and tags Jake in, Strong heads to his corner to tag in Aries.
Aries and Jake tie up with Aries taking an early advantage and giving Jake an atomic drop. Aries catches Jake with a clothesline and quickly picks him up for a brain buster. "Has Reed choked again?" Dave Prazak asks on commentary as Aries climbs to the top rope. Daniels and Delirious charge to make a save but Danielson and Strong cut them off. Aries goes for the 450 splash but Jake gets his legs up last second. It becomes clear Jake was playing dead to bait Aries into going into going for a big move way to early. Aries ribs are hurting. Jake forces Austin into the corner and works him over with punches and chops.
Aries thumbs Jake's eyes and than wipes him into the corner and hits a drop kick. Danielson tags himself in. Jake and Danielson tie in a Roman knuckle lock Jake bridges back Danielson tries to break it but Jake drops down getting his leg up and Danielson crotches himself. Jake gets over and tags in Christopher Daniels.
Daniels comes in and scores with a leg lariat. Danielson gets up only get hit by a step-up enziguri. Daniels brings Danielson up and gets hits by a headbut from the ROH champion. Danielson follows up with a yakuza kick and than a backdrop suplex. He sits Daniels up and pulls on his face at the mouth. The referee starts to count, "1 2 3 4." "I have till five referee," Danielson says. Danielson waits for Daniels to stand and than hits a roaring elbow Daniels goes down. Danielson covers. Count of one, count of two, Daniels kicks out.
Danielson tags Aries back in but Daniels hits an STO and makes a quick cover. Count of one Strong breaks it up. Strong gives Daniels a back breaker before getting out. Aries stands up and hits the pendulum elbow. The match is breaking down as Jake runs in to hit a flying clothesline. Jake pulls Daniels over to there corner. Daniels tags in Delirious who quickly hits a leaping thrust clothesline. Delirious starts to celebrate in his own way giving Austin a chance to get up and hit the crucifix bomb. Aries tags Strong and they hit a heart attack.
Strong goes for the strong hold but Delirious gets to the ropes. Delirious quickly get up and hits the Invitro Fertilization following it up with a Sitout Fisherman's Michinoku Driver 2. Delirious goes for the bizzaro driver. Delrious tags Jake. Jake hits the overhead belly to belly suplex. Strong sits up allowing Jake to hit the rolling neck snap. Jake covers but Aries hits a lion sault before the referee can even count. Daniels comes in a goes after Aries both men go over the top to the floor. Strong crawls over to his corner where only Danielson is. Jake gets up and looks like he doesn't want to tag out. Jake stands and puts up his dukes ready take out Danielson. Strong reaches out for the tag but just as he is about to make it Danielson drops down and walks over to talk to Heyman.
Jake pulls Strong back and gives him the running outsider edge into the corner. Jake tags in Delirious and he goes for the shadows over hell. Meanwhile on the outside Aries gives Daniels a brain buster on entrance stage. The referee seeing this goes out to check on the fallen Angel that is out like a light. The referee and another from the back take Daniels behind the curtain. Aries runs back to ring but Jake catches him with a cross body off the apron. Danielson gets in the ring and takes Delirious out with a steel chair. Delirious falls forward and Jake is able to tag him.
Jake comes in and gets in a stare down with Danielson. Daniels is in the med room, Aries is out on the ground, Delirious out on the apron trying to wake up, while Strong is to beat up to get standing. It's down to the ROH champ and the NWA champion. The two tie up; Danielson gets Jake in a head lock. Jake turns it into a backdrop suplex but Danielson lands on his feet and quickly gives Jake a dragon suplex with a bridge for a pin. But there is no referee. Danielson changing tactics quickly goes for his repeated elbow strikes but is able to get a trip up and locks in a chin lock.
Danielson gets out. Jake scores with a DDT putting Danielson on the ground. Jake quickly climbs to the top and waits for Danielson to get up so he can hit a missile dropkick. Heyman climbs up to try and knock Jake off, but Alison Danger pulls the fat man down. Danielson is up and Jake goes for it but than in a shocking moment Alison Danger hooks his feet at the last second and Jake hits the ground hitting his head. The referee finally returns but has missed everything. Jake is dazed allowing Danielson to lock in cattle mutilation. Jake tries to fight out but can't get out and is so dazed he has no idea where the ropes are. But Jake won't quit.
Danielson tires to roll Jake over for a pin, count of one, count of two, Jake kicks out. Danielson wastes no time and gets Jake in the double arm chicken wing. Jake still won't quit and gets to the ropes but Alison Danger pushes his foot off before the referee sees it. Danielson rolls Jake away from the ropes back to the dead center of the ring. Delirious is starting to get up but Strong gets up and gives him half nelson back breaker and throws him out of the ring.
Jake is fading fast and finally taps out. Danielson finally releases the hold. Danielson forces Jake up look at him. "You have 24 hours left with the NWA title," Danielson says before leaving. Christopher Daniels comes back out to confront Alison.
"What the hell are you doing?" Daniels asks. "Anyone that is a friend of my brother's is an enemy of mine," Alison says before leaving. Daniels gets in the ring to help get Jake to the back.
After the show Danielson and Heyman stood back stage with Dave Prazak. "Bryan Danielson I have to ask were and that fat idiot in on what Alison Danger did tonight?" DP asks. "Hey show some respect if it weren't me teaching Ian Rotten and your current boss everything they know a moron like you would be working at Subway right now," Paul E. yells. "You know what we had nothing to do with what Alison Danger did but who care because I didn't win because of her. No I won because I am the best wrestler in the world. Think about it no has beaten Jake Reed in how long and tonight I made him tap. Tomorrow I take his belt," Danielson says.
