Chapter 20
"Jake you don't have to do this?" Traci says as Jake is signing papers to sell his boat. "But I want to. Traci my home is with you. You can't get of this lease that easy. The boat would just sit there anyway. Besides maybe I can use that money to buy something you would like," Jake says. "More like something you would like me to wear Traci says. "FYI I like it most of all when you wear nothing," Jake says.
"You know my mom called again she wants to know if we set a date," Traci says. "I know but part of me really wants to do it ASAP but than I think we should try to wait it out because of "The Superstars,"" Jake says. "And it would be romantic to get married on the same day as our first wedding," Traci says. "But we do have to pick a date if nothing else to get our mother's off our backs because my mom keeps asking for a date as well," Jake says.
"I'm glade you and your folks started talking again," Traci says. Like a lot of people Jake's parents had been hurt by the act he had played. But after his injures and getting a letter from him they made up. The doorbell rang. "Who is it?" Traci yells. "It's AJ open up." Jake gets a smile on his. "Yeah that's a real good impersonation," Jake yells. "Jake open the door," Traci says.
Jake opens the door. "Wow you even look like AJ," Jake says. "Jake your jokes like Batista matches IE the more of them they are the worse they get," AJ says. "Yeah well your hair cut is like a John Cena match the same thing night after night for six years," Jake says. Traci starts to laugh at that one.
It had been a long four months in TNA. The war between The TNA wrestlers and the Superstars had raged. The Superstars had added Beer Money to there side giving them the tag titles to there stable while the returned Scott Steiner also joined up along with Petey and the X-Division title. With Angelina Love holding the Knockouts Title it left Joe as the lone face champion. But the months seemed like they were wearing Joe down.
Joe had just retained his title in a tough match with Abyss and once again Sting and Crew jumped him. The locker rooms empted as a massive brawl broke out. It seemed like The Superstars were getting advantage when a fan in skull mask jumped the rail. The fan seems to turn the tide and drive the superstars off. Security climbs into the ring to remove the fan but AJ pulls off the guys mask showing its Jake.
"That right I'm back and once again I returned under a mask. Sting if you thought I was done your wrong. I mean Sting you talk about forgetting the past and than you forget my past. Than again the fact you spend most of your time in a private dressing room you may not even know that it's my things to take a beating and come back. Hell you could even say it's kind of a gimmick for me," Jake says.
"This doesn't change anything," Kurt yells. "Yeah it changes plenty chrome dome. For one the first thing I'm going to do is take care of that big moron behind you," Jake says pointing at Abyss. Abyss starts to come at Jake but Sting stops him.
A few days had passed and TNA returned to Orlando to film Impact. Sting stood in the ring. "Jake I want you to come out here. I'm here alone you come out alone. If you half the man these people think you are you will do it," Sting says. Jeff makes his way out. "Jeff I don't want to talk to you. I saw Traci is back there so Jake has to be here," Sting says.
"Sting they are engaged not joined at the hip. So Jake isn't back there but I will more than happy to talk to you," Jeff says. "Look Jeff I've made it pretty clear how I feel about you. I still think I have a chance to show Jake Reed the light," Sting says. "Sting Reed doesn't need you to show him the light. You come out here you claim I'm a cancer in this business. At the end of the day all I was after was the world title and respect it meant. I think the bigger problem is the guys after the damn money," Jeff yells as the fans cheer.
"Jake are you a man or are you going to let Jeff do you talking for you," Sting says ignoring Jeff. "Sting calm down," Jake says appearing on the big screen. "Wait that can't be in Orlando," Mike says. "Sting you should have just gone home to California because that's where I am now. Hey look down there," Jake as the camera points down a hill to an outdoor café where Sting's son Braden sits not seeing Jake. "Jake you aren't the kind of guy to do this," Sting says. "Hey I'm just taking a page out of Kurt Angle's book," Jake says. Sting starts to pace.
Suddenly he gets spun around kicked and in the gut and hit with a Death Valley Driver. "Hey Sting don't you just love video," Jake says. The Superstars hit the ring but Jake and Jeff bail out.
"Jake I have to admit you had me worried when did you come up with this plan?" Lauren. "Not to come off like a jerk but about week two of those four months I had to take off," Jake says. "Are you worried Sting might respond?" "Yeah I am but Lauren something has to be done. The future of not just TNA but wrestling itself is on the line. Sting your were the guy we all thought was a hero now your just another villain," Jake says.
"Now Jake what about this match I am hearing about?" "Yeah I went to Jim Cornett and next week it's me and Abyss one on one. You see a scorpion needs a tail and that is what Abyss has become to Sting. So next week…. IT'S SHOWTIME!"
Abyss was watching a monitor and had heard everything Jake had said. "I will destroy the Outlaw," Abyss says out loud before picking the monitor up and throwing it into a wall causing it to explode as it hits.
Note- I might not be able to write much the next few days. The TNA Video Game arrives in Omaha tomorrow so I might spend the next few days playing that.
