It's been a while since we have been at Joe's gym and ever since Nanook stole....I mean bought the building for taxes they both have been dumping a ton of money in the place. First up was cleaning out all of the crap that was inside of it, then came a proper shower room and locker room. Next was the roof which wasn't cheap and now it's the front office/main entrance of the place. Before it was a busted up room, holes in the sheet rock, nasty piss soaked carpet from squatters and the homeless and busted up office furniture. Even the front door had issues. Then as you go in the room off of that it was more storage and beat up lockers. They had the rooms gutted and taken down to the studs and built back up.

While it is still a work in progress it looks a 1000 times better. They made the first room smaller by cutting it half with a wall and now looks more of a receptionist area with a big desk greets you as soon as you enter the building and behind that is a huge display case and while it's currently empty as it's only half built, it's going to be the statement piece of the room where Joe can display some of his stuff from his career. Off of that room is a small hallway that is all framed out with 2 doors in the hallway. One leading to the gym, the other to Nanook's office as he's making his headquarters for his small real estate business here. But right now there is no work being done on the place as it's a Sunday and sitting being the reception desk is Double J Joe Jones. His feet are up on the desk as he's kicking back and the UWL Tag Team title sits in the incomplete display case.

"You know the first time I walked into this room, there was a dead dog in it. And it smelled like, well a dead dog. I looked at Nanook and went "Really? This is a gym? There's a million flies and maggots everywhere and you want me to work out here?" Well look at her now. She's shaping up to a nice looking place. A multi use place. Office, gym, school, and museum. I'm not so sure about the latter but Nanook said it would be nice to have a place to show off all the stuff from the family. I guess there would be fans out there who would love to see my Dad's green overalls and boots. I like everything that this building is becoming except for the last bit. To me when you start putting shit on display it means that your career is over with and I'm far from done. Knowing Nanook he'll get his way. I just hope he doesn't put to much of my stuff on display although there is one thing I wouldn't mind showing off."

Joe turns his head and looks up at the UWL Tag Team Title.

"That. That is going to look good in that case for a real long time. When the trim work is done, the glass is installed and the recess lighting, that title is going to look awesome under the lights. It's going to look right at home sitting there. Like it always belonged there. And do you know what else looks right? Me having his hand raised in victory over the other Jones. The lesser Jones. The man who shouldn't be able to use the name Jones."

Joe reaches for his bottle of water and unscrews the top as he looks at the camera.

"It took a while but the UWL has finally booked the "Battle of the Joneses." and I have already heard all the jokes. I'm pick Jones to win. They should stop the Jones on Jones crime. Who is going to take home the Jones cup? Well everyone in the UWL can have their fun this week but when Saturday night rolls around, the fun and games come to a end. When the match is all said and done, there will only be one Jones standing tall at the end of the night and that Jones, will be me. The better looking one. The more talented one. The one who is currently the Tag Champion. The one who reigned supreme Saturday night when I, took out the other Jones in Eddie for thinking he would get away with attacking my partner.....as much as I hate to say it NASCAR Billy."

Joe takes a quick sip of water.

"Truth be known I don't care that Rapid Angle jumped Billy. Hell it's a lesson the kid needed to learn anyways. He also needs to learn how to get back at those who jump him instead of challenging them. But he is my partner and while we are the tag champs, I will have his back. I hate that but I will have the kids back and when you pick a fight with Billy, your picking a fight with me and I don't see Eddie or Stephen being able to best me. You might hear that and think I'm rather cocky, and you would be right. Rapid Angle couldn't stop me when Frankie was in my corner, and weeks later when I had a unknown kid making his UWL debut in only his 3rd pro match, you two still couldn't beat me. And now this week, You Eddie will feel what it feels like to lose to me yet again. For a 3rd time."

Joe screws the top back on his water bottle.

"You after this week, I'm going to know what Caleb Hart feels like after beating the same guy over and over and over. And Eddie, you will know how it feels to want something like I did the TV title, and not be able to get your hands on it. You can call yourself a 5 time Tag Team champion Eddie, but you'll never get a 6th reign as along as I hold on to that."

Joe looks at the UWL Tag Team title one last time and points at it,

"The UWL Tag Team Championship."
