Chapter 3
Note- Thank to Aaron and don't forget to review
Jim Cornet was in his office Impact was had just starting to tape and Petey Williams was already in there. "Look Jim I get that Jake is hurt but he can't make his title match than he forfeits," Petey says holding up his case. "Petey you know it doesn't work like that. Jake has thirty days to defend the title. Now look you will get your shot," Jim says.
Crystal runs into the office. "Oh what is it now?" Jim asks. "Jake, AJ, and Matt," Crystal says out of breath. "Crystal I promise you will get the first interview when they get back next week," Jim says. "They are on there way to the ring," Crystal says. Jim gets up and rushes out of the office.
Jake with Traci, AJ and Matt stood in the ring. It was obvious the guys were beat up and sore. "You know usually when I come out here I try to be Mr. Funny. I try to make you fans laugh even when there is something serious going on. But for once I don't feel like making people laugh," Jake says. The crowd is silent hanging on Jake's every word.
"Now I will be honest the past few weeks TNA has been getting its collective ass kicked. Well not anymore," Jake says handing the microphone to AJ. "You got that right. Now ROH I understand you guys are having a Pay Per View taping this weekend. Well we are going to be there," AJ says before handing the microphone back to Jake. "That's right you see we are not going to jump you ROH boys like you do to us. No better than a bunch of thief's in the night. Oh and Petey Williams you'll get your shot next week because I will be in the King of the…."
Kurt Angle's music starts to play. Kurt and Karen make there way to the ring. "Well Don it was last week that with a victory over Abyss, Kurt Angle became the first man to qualify for the King of the Mountain match," Mike says. "And he has made it very clear his one goal is regain the title he once held," Don says.
Kurt and Karen climb into the ring. "So you three who are so banged up you barley stand are going to invade an ROH show? And people think I don't take enough time to heal," Kurt says. "Look Kurt do you want something?" Jake asks. "Yeah my world title back. But you see Reed I want be able to beat you at your best," Kurt says.
Before Jake can say anything else Tomko's music plays. Tomko makes his way to the ring. "You know he is right you three won't be enough. That is why I am coming with you," Tomko says extending his hand. Jake shacks it but AJ hugs his tag partner.
Samoa Joe's music plays. Joe makes his way to the ramp the fans start to boo. "Do you idiots really think you would have a prayer against the ROH locker room? You guys show up and they would finish you off," Joe says. "Hey Joe turn around," Jake says. "Reed you must think I am an idiot," Joe says. "Alright get his Storm," Jake says. James Storm jumps Joe knocking him down the ramp. Storm throws Joe into the ring.
Matt picks Joe up and slams him back to the ground. Kurt acts like his about to put Joe in the ankle lock Jake stops him. "What are you doing?" Kurt yells at him. "We are not doing it that way!" Jake says. "I do any thing the way I damn well please," Kurt says getting in Jake's face. "He's getting up," Traci says as everyone had stopped worrying about Joe. Joe tries to lock in clutch on Jake but Tomko and Morgan pull him off.
Joe rolls out of the ring and goes nuts by flipping over the announcers table. Kurt leaves with Karen but he keeps his eyes locked on Jake. Traci puts his hand on Jake's shoulder. "You have more important things to worry about," Traci says.
Later that night Christian Cage was wrestling Scott Steiner in a King of The Mountain qualifying match. Scott goes for a butterfly suplex but to the shock of everyone Christian lands on his feet and hits the unprettier count of one count of two count of three and Christian is the second man in the KOTM. Christian stands up and makes the title signal.
Jake watches backstage. "Great Angle and Christian and I still have to get past Williams I should just retire my body needs a long rest," Jake says out loud. "You can handle it," Traci says. "Hey the show is mostly over except for the X-Division title match lets just get out of here," Jake says. "Yeah besides I want to get out of here before Sonjay starts looking donations," Traci says.
"You know I swear I saw him talking on a new black berry," Jake says. "You know I saw him a new pair of shoes that had to be at least two hundred dollars," Traci says. "Yeah well we more important things to worry about I still go Petey to deal with," Jake says as they start to walk out. "Yeah and Jim told me I was getting a shot at Awesome Kong," Traci says.
Jake stops and turns to her. "Is he nuts? Don't worry about it. I will take care of this," Jake says walking off. Traci stops him. "Jake I want a title shot," Traci says. "Sure but not against Kong. She can hurt you," Jake says. "Jake I can handle it. Besides you have no room to talk," Traci says. "I have plenty of room to talk you are my wife," Jake yells.
"And you are my husband now that we have established we are married you need to stop being so over protective," Traci yells. "You want to be the kind of wife that gives me freedom great and I love you for it. But I'm the kind of husband that has to protect you and I know you can beat Kong but I don't risk you getting hurt," Jake says. "If that wasn't so pigheaded that would be kind of sweet," Traci says.
"Look Traci I'm sorry. It's just my way. I know you are going to win but you are going to work hard," Jake says. "What do you mean?" Traci asks. "Because everyone knows I am the better wrestler in the family," Jake says running off. "Why you," Traci yells running after him.
Later that night a promo appeared on the ROH website. Nigel McGuinness stood in the ring at the ROH wrestling school the ROH world title over his shoulder. "So the TNA boys want to come ROH well you know I will be the first one to greet them but if they even think about jumping the rail well than I will show I was the man that was able to take the world title from Morrishima," Nigel says.
