Chapter 12
Impact hadn't even started officially yet but AJ was making a b-line for the ring. "We are two weeks out from our biggest show Bound for Glory. In TNA I have done it all won the X-Division title, won the tag title, won the world title, ultimate X and on and on. But the most important match of my life is in two weeks. Jake Reed was the man I called a brother. And I threw that away," AJ says. "Damn straight you threw it away," Jake says as he appears on the big screen.
"Jake I don't expect you to understand. But I was in a bad place than," AJ says. "Oh you were in bad place. You know AJ I've been in plenty of bad places. But the one thing I never did was hurt physically hurt the people I cared about. I get it hurt you to watch me fight those demons. But I never lashed out at you," Jake yells. "Jake I'm warning you. Either get your act together or I will stop you," AJ says.
Jake starts to laugh. "AJ you're a fool. You could never stop me. And now lets not forget I got some running buddies," Jake says as the camera pans out of show Jake with, Angle, Booker, and 3D. Samoa Joe makes his way out with Nash. "Well if it isn't the Village People reunion," Joe says. Jake acts offended. "Joe shut…" "You boys in the back lets get this off the screens," Joe yells as just that happens.
"Being champ has some advantages. Another is the fact that I can get Cornett to book certain matches. So tonight AJ it's you, me and Kevin taking on Jake and his two special friends Angle and Booker," Joe says the fans start to cheer.
About twenty minutes later Jay Lethal found Kevin Nash on the ground clutching his leg in pain. "Kevin what happened?" "Some clipped me in leg. It was something metal," Kevin says. "We need help out here!"
Jake felt guilty. He knew one of his "friends" had to be behind the attack on Nash. Even with all of his attacks he was trying to do it in a way that wouldn't do big damage. But with Nash history of knee injures this could be very bad. "You can't show you real feelings," Jake thought. Cornett entered the dressing room. "I bet you think you got out that match. Well I got a replacement so it's on," Jim yells.
"Are you accusing me of something there? Because ah if anyone is more likely to behind an attack it is you," Jake says. "You know Jake when in OVW you and about five other wrestlers showed up late for a show but you were the one I was the most pissed off at and you know why?" Jim says. "I tend block out what you say Jimmy." "It was because I expected better of you. Well I still do," Jim says before he leaves.
Kurt and Booker were already in the ring as Jake's music played. "And there partner is from Omaha NE a former world champion "The Omaha Outlaw," Jake Reed." Jake slowly made his way around ring side a little boy was booing him and holding up a sign that was anti Jake. Jake knew fans actually loved to get under the bad guy's skin so he was going to have some fun as he went over tore up the sign.
"I'm Jake Reed and I'm great you are a nobody," Jake yells at the kid. "AJ is going to beat you," the kid says right back. "No he isn't!" "Yes he is!" "No he isn't!" "Yes he is!" By this point Jake is red in the face and the fans are enjoying the show. Kurt and Booker go out and bring him in. "Ignore them," Booker says.
AJ and Joe made there way out next both have a sly smile on there face. "You got no one," Jake yells. Just as he says that Jeff Jarrett's music starts to play. "No, no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jake yells. Jeff makes his way out as the fans go crazy. Jeff makes his way to the ring. Kurt will start for his team while AJ will start for his.
The bell rings, AJ and Kurt lock up. Kurt forces AJ into the corner he breaks but gives AJ an upper cut and than hip tosses AJ out of the corner. Kurt locks on a chin lock and slowly pulls AJ over to his (Kurt's) corner. Booker tags Kurt on his leg and comes in to put the boots to AJ. Booker than catches AJ with a spinning crescent kick. Booker tags in Jake but AJ gets away and tags in Joe.
Joe catches Jake with a flying big boot as Jake comes in and charges. Jake gets up but Joe catches him with a chop. Jake thumbs Joe eyes and catches him with a divorce court. Jake than drops a knee across Joe's back. "Watch this," Jake yells as the goes for the rear choke but Joe counters out of it with ease. Jake tags in Kurt as Joe tag AJ back in.
This time AJ avoids the lock up and catches Kurt with a spin kick and than a German Suplex for two before Jake breaks it up. The ref forces Jake out and AJ hits the rack bomb. Kurt low blows AJ and hits a suplex on him. Kurt tags in Jake who comes in and drops the elbow. AJ sits up and Jake hits the rolling neck snap. "I'm so great," Jake yells. Jake picks AJ up for the overhead belly to belly. Jake spits in Joe's direction as he covers. Count of one, count of two, Joe runs in and beats on Jake.
The ref pulls Joe away allowing a triple team on AJ. Now tag as Booker takes over beating on AJ and puts him in an abdominal stretch. Jake pulls on Booker to give him some extra leverage. The ref sees this and breaks the hold. Jake officially tags in and comes in with a fist drop to AJ exposed ribs. Jake gives AJ a gut buster. Jake insulting starts to tap AJ in the face with his boat. Jake picks AJ up and whips him into a corner.
AJ is out on his feet and Jake acts like he going for a flying elbow but instead hits a shoulder tackle the fans boo. "I'm not going to do it because you people wanted it. Unlike that Ape over there I'm not a trained monkey," Jake says pointing at Joe. AJ uses this time and rolls Jake up. It doesn't get a one count but it gives AJ a chance to tag in Jeff.
Jarrett catches Jake with a drop kick and one for Booker who rushes in. Angle charges but Jeff side steps and tosses Kurt out of the ring. Jake, Booker, and Kurt are on the outside trying regroup. Jeff tags Joe and Joe hits a bid dive to take all three down. Joe throws Jake back into the ring. Jake gets to his feet but Joe takes his head off with a lariat.
Team 3D hits the ring and goes after Joe. Devin takes AJ out with a chair shot. Jeff goes for his guitar. The lights go out they come back on and Sting stands in the ring next to Jeff. Sting hits Jeff and he goes down. Sting locks Joe in the scorpion death lock while 3D is ready put Jeff through a glass table. "Ok Jeff time for that life saver you said you would have," Jake thinks. Abyss, Matt Morgan, Rhino and Cage hit the ring and drive off the heels. "Pretty good life savers," Jake thinks.
