Chapter 12
It was the last ROH show before the war games. The planned opening match was the Necro Butcher vs. BJ Whitmer. However as the Butcher made his entrance the lights went dead when they came back on Necro was out and covered with a TNA banner. Later that night during a match with Jimmy Jacobs and Jay Briscoe the lights go out again. This time when they come up Jay is hog tied in the middle of the ring with a TNA drip logo shirt stuffed him mouth.
Finally during the entrance of Roderick Strong for his match Chris Hero Rod's music changes to the Impact theme. "Alright I'm sick of this. Come on out Reed," Rod yells into the first microphone he can find. No answer comes. The match with Hero goes on. At one point Roderick locks in the Strong Hold but than it starts to rain flyers. Rod drops the hold and grabs one of the flyers and sees it's the TNA logo on them.
"You have got to stop this stuff Gabe," Bryan Danielson yells at the ROH booker. "I'm trying Bryan. But I don't know how they are getting in," Gabe yells back. "Look I have a shot at the ROH world title and I am not going to let the TNA guys ruin it," Bryan yells. "First calm down Bryan. The truth is I didn't want this war with TNA. So now I'm done just have that war games and it end," Gabe says.
"Man Bryan you just have a way with people," Jake says walking up behind him. "You," Bryan says pointing at Jake. "Yeah me just here watching the show. Man you guys have had some issues," Jake mocks. "Look Reed I am this close to breaking you in two. Do you dare pull one trick during my match," Danielson says. "Bryan it's not me. It may be my Ace in the Hole no controlling him," Jake says.
"What are you saying Reed?" "Well it maybe what I'm not saying," Jake says. "Stop playing games Jake," Danielson says. "Simple pale rider. My Ace he is on the ROH roster and you won't see it coming but my Ace will make sure TNA wins," Jake says. Austin Aries comes into the room. "What the hell is going on here?" Aries yells. "Gotta go see you later," Jake says slipping out the back door.
"What the hell was he doing in here?" Austin yells. "I don't like your tone Aries," Danielson says. "Look here Danielson I had to put up a lot of crap from TNA," Austin says. "Yeah and you still went back and have to wonder if you are counting on the third time being the charm," Danielson says. "Wait you think I want to go back to TNA you are nuts!" "Well you have kept you hair long enough to pass as Austin Starr," Danielson says.
Jake made his way to the parking lot. "Reed!" Roderick yelled as he ran towards him followed by Davey and Rocky. Jake pulls the tire iron out of his jacket. "Alright back or this goes upside someone head," Jake says. "We take him," Rocky says. Rocky takes a step but Jake swings and Rocky falls to his ground. "Alright to be fair you ROH guys have been messing up TNA shows and even tried to steal my belt," Jake says. "Look Reed get out of here," Roderick says.
"Oh I'll leave but after this," Jake says as Tomko, Jeff, and Christian attack. The NRC run off. "Hey Jake remind to make sure when the Ace jumps I tell Dixie to give him a nice bonus," Jeff says. "Alright guys I got one more thing to deal with," Jake says.
Daizee Haze was in the ring ready for her match with Sarah Del Rey. Larry Sweeny makes his way out and he doesn't look happy. "I don't know why ROH doesn't get this simple fact. You want a member of Sweet and Sour Incorporated you got to pay to see them play. Well ROH didn't pay so I sent my client home. But I managed to find a replacement. And now let me introduce the corner man for this match Jake Reed," Larry yells.
Jake comes out as the fans boo loudly. "Are you saying boo or you as in Jake You the Man!" Jake says pissing off the fans even more. "BOO!" "Oh Whoa guess you guys want Ric Flair. Now Daizee a few weeks ago you decided to cost my wife a shot at the knockouts title. Well tonight she is looking or payback," Jake says as Traci jumps The Haze.
Paul Turner makes the latest in his long line of some what stupid calls and calls for the bell. Traci hits a clothesline knocking Daizee over. Bryan Danielson rushes out with a chair. Jake cuts him off. Jake and Traci rush off knowing that tonight TNA has won the battle and that everyone in ROH is looking over there shoulder.
