Chapter 21
Note I know I know it's been a long time coming but I got really busy
I will never forget the first time I got the "that was awesome chant." I was only 21 years old and got to team with AJ and Air Paris for a six man tag. In alot of ways it has never been topped until now. Because not only are the fans say it but some of the boys are saying it when I get though the curtain. "I am starting to think Bischoff doesn't like me," I say sitting on a crate and taking a deep breath.
Wolfe comes up and gets in my face. "Well congrats Jake. But all you did was make sure you would be the one losing it..." "What ever Nigel," I say as condescending as I can. "Yeah be funny here's the punch line you've never beat me remember that, HWA, IWA, FWA, and WXW everytime you lose I win," Nigel tells me. I get up and get right in his face. "Alot has changed mainly I finally stopped giving up the benefit of the doubt that you might for ONCE IN YOUR FUCKING CAREER HAVE A CLEAN MATCH!" I yell. "Alright boys break it up," Pat Kenny says stepping between us. "Lockdown Mate Lockdown Mate!" Desmond says before leaving with Chelsea. I could say something but why at this point I am waiting for St. Louis.
"Way to go champ," Kurt says pouring a bottle of water over my head witch feels really good. The shooting pain in my leg on the other hand not so much. Kurt looks at me and must know what is going on becaue he says. "Let's go to the trainer." "Yeah sure why not. Hey where's Traci?" I ask. "I don't know she kind of disappeared after the match," Kurt says. "Here we go again this hot and cold stuff," I say. "Come on man you don't need that knee locking up again," Kurt says. I say nothing and just walk off heading away from the locker room. I reach an empty office and go in. I toss the title aside and sit down in a chair.
"Ah the world champion takes a moment to himself if only I had a camera," Bischoff says coming in. I don't stay silent hopeful he will just leave if I ignore him. "What's the matter Jake no joke," Eric says. "There was a jackass that once pissed of the wrong guy. The wrong guy than beat the jackass senseless with the the guys own arms that he pulled off of said ass," I say. "That's a joke?" "No it's my plan," I say taking a step at him.
Bischoff backs up. "Hold on Reed you maybe champ but place one hand on me and I can have you stripped of that belt," Bischoff says. "Someday some how you and me your dead," I say. "What the hell is going on here," Hogan says as he walks in. "Just reminding the champ that he still has to play by some rules," Eric says. Hogan takes off his sunglasses and turns to face me. I think he's about take a swing at me not that I can blame him after I clocked him with the belt.
"Leave Eric," Hogan says. "Hulk..." "I said leave brother," Hulk says. Eric leaves reluctantly. We both stand there I am not sure if he just expect me to leave or if this some kind of size up thing. "You know Reed I can't figure you out," Hulk finally says. "Old Irish saying never be an open book," I say." "Speaking of books brother you need to reread the one on what's going on around here you don't know the fully story," Hogan says. "I know enough," I say.
"I didn't get you fired man hell you were one of the guys I wanted to take to that next level," Hogan. Before I can say anything some comes in and tells Hogan that Dixie needs to see him and he leaves. I picked up the belt and get ready ready to leave when Halll and Waltmen enter. "Let me guess you guys heard I bought the new Gordon Ramsey cook book and want to try my steak tar tar. Well sorry boys haven't gotten to that part yet," I say. "Let's get him Pac," Hall says.
"Oh Hi Lance Help me out," I say. Hall and Waltman turn around to see no one but this gives me a chance to hit Waltman with the belt. Hall goes to Punch me but I use the belt as a shield and he hits that instead. I punch him right in the jaw. Waltman is up and drives me into ait. I'd have an easier time in a handicapped match I don't trust wall. Hall starts to punch me but Kurt comes in and pulls them off. The Band leaves. "You Ok?" Kurt asks. "Kurt I am as good as a guy that wrestled a thirty minute match from hell on a bad leg can be after getting slammed into a wall and punched can be," I say.
"They are probably just trying to get a leg up after that match Bischoff just made," Kurt says. "What match? And let me guess I am going to want to kill Bischoff even more now," I say. "You Nash and Young vs. The Band and Desmond Wolfe at Destination X," Kurt says. "I knew it I knew I knew Nash," I say. "Come on I'll walk you to your car," Kurt says. We exit the room and than I get hit in the back and everything goes black.
