This past week, the number one efed in the world,ece, brought the action to X Rated, and boy what a event it was.X Rated was a historic night, as the Submission Machine Daniel Bryan teamed with Ric Flair to DEFEAT Beer Money. This week, ECE Money in the Bank is in Philadelphia, and Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy will meet in one on one action. These two will meet for the FIRST TIME. But one thing is for sure, the rivalry between The Brotherhood and Fortune will escalate even further this week, Daniel Bryan is adament to prove he is the better man.

||End Forward||

The scene opens up, in the town center of Philly. The place is pretty crowded, with alot of people out, shopping or meeting up to socialise. Some music can be heard, and the camera zooms in, and we can see an Organ Grinder making the music, whilst his monkey dances. A few people walk past and drop a couple of coins in the hat on the floor, and then one person drops some money, but stops. The camera turns so we can see who it is, ITS DANIEL BRYAN! Bryan stands, a smile on his face. The Organ Grinder nervously stops playing, as the muscular American Dragon, faces him.

||Organ Grinder||Can I help you, sir?

||Daniel Bryan||Im sorry, I didnt mean to alarm you. I just made a really odd comparison in my head.

||Organ Grinder||Whats that then?

||Daniel Bryan||A comparison........its when you compare two things to see how similar they are.

||Organ Grinder||I know what a comparison is. I meant what comparison did you make?

Daniel Bryan chuckles a little, and the Organ Grinder stops playing, as he seems interested in what Bryan has to say. The small monkey, wearing a waist coat and a phez, stops dancing and hops onto his owners shoulder.

||Daniel Bryan||Well you see.......Im a proffessional wrestler. And the company I work for, Extreme Championship Entertainment, is holding a show right here in Philly on monday. And this monday I face the man who I have grown to hate, the man who wants to end my career, in a match. See, he seems to think, that he deserves MY Respect. He seems to believe.....that he isn't appreciated..Or that he is taking over. This man is Jeff Hardy, and he wants what I deserve. And this week, I WILL get my respect.

||Organ Grinder||Im sorry, but I dont see the comparison?

||Daniel Bryan||The comparison? The comparison is........when you start playing the music.......your monkey dances. When you tell him to come here, he comes running. Well its the same with Jeff Hardy and Shane McMahon. When Hardy gives an order, Shane obliges. When Hardy says jump, Shane O Mac says how high? Jeff Hardy is the organ grinder........and this week, he is bringing his monkey to the ring. But it doesnt bother me, because once again, the odds are stacked against me. The match is without a shadow of a doubt, in Jeff's favour. But time and time again, I HAVE BEATEN THE ODDS! I have overcome so much in my career, that I am used to it by now. Infact........I ENJOY IT! All the critics who said I was too small to make it in this business, all the people who said I wasnt good enough.........I TAKE PRIDE IN THROWING IT BACK IN THEIR FACES! Because I HAVE MADE IT! And Jeff Hardy and Shane McMahon want to ruin that, and its like taking a lamb to slaughter. Because Jeff isnt stepping into the ring with anybody.........he is stepping into the ring with THE BEST DAMN TECHNICAL WRESTLER IN THE WORLD! And Shane McMahon isnt going to show is loyalty to Jeff Hardy by beating me.........he will show it by suffering on Jeff's behalf!

||Organ Grinder||I dunno......see Bruno here, he is very loyal. We make a great team. If this Shane McMahon fella, is as loyal as you say he is, then I think it could be very dangerous for you.

||Daniel Bryan||Dangerous? Dangerous is taking risk after risk everynight just to do what you love. Dangerous is breaking your neck, and competing for a whole month like nothing is wrong. Im not scared of going into this match, because I dont fear anything.....or anyone. Shane McMahon maybe loyal to Jeff Hardy, but I am loyal to myself. My loyalty is unquestionable. When there was no one there to help me in Japan, I still came through. When everyone was saying Id never make it, I stayed loyal and made it. When they said I would never be World Champion, I stayed loyal, AND BECAME THE RING OF HONOR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! The only danger, is for Jeff Hardy, because he is going up against a man who fears nothing.......BUT IS FEARED BY EVERYONE! And right now, I need to prove once again, that I am for real, that I am the Best damn technical wrestler in the world. I need to prove to everybody, that when ECE Money in the Bank comes along, Daniel Bryan is going to make Jeff Hardy TAP OUT! And this week, I will beat Jeff Hardy, and I will make his lacky beg for mercy........Because Daniel Bryan is here to stay!

The organ grinder turns and looks at the monkey, which is now perched on his shoulder. He looks confused, as the intense American Dragon stands, breathin heavily.

||Organ Grinder||Well good luck, because...

||Daniel Bryan||Because why? Because I have to deal with 2 people who have been togethor for the past several weeks, when I am alone? The only luck that is needed, is for Jeff Hardy, because he is facing the best! He is facing a man that knows what he has to do to survive........HURT PEOPLE! And this monday on PAY PER VIEW, Jeff Hardy will realise that no matter who he sides with, HE CANNOT BEAT ME! Noone can beat me. I have proved to the world that I am the man that deserves to hold the World Title, and I will prove it again. Because this coming monday, Jeff or Shane will find themselves locked in the Lebell Lock, wishing that the ropes were closer. And I will pull back harder and harder, until I hear a bone snap. And they will scream........they will squel.......AND THEY WILL TAP! Because they are not stepping into the ring with me this monday, they are stepping into the Dragon's Personal Playground of Pain........a place where pain is breathing, and suffering is the air. A place where the only way to survive, is to tap out. I will walk into Money in the Bank, just like I have so many times before, and I will make Jeff Hardy tap for his life........AND LUCK WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! Goodluck Jeff..Shane...Because regardless of how loyal you two jackasses are.......

Daniel Bryan turns, snarling, but the Organ Grinder isnt there. He looks up, and the Organ Grinder is running around the nearby corner, with his monkey following closely. Bryan smiles a crooked, toothless grin, and continues walking, as the scene fades to black.

This week, the ECE comes to Philadelphia, and Daniel Bryan knows that he needs to win. And this time, he knows he has to make sure that Jeff taps, to send a clear message. With ECE Money in the Bank getting closer and closer, the showdown between these men is not just a match anymore.......its for pride. And Daniel Bryan prides himself on being the best.......which means Jeff Hardy needs to be HURT! .. static
