The Golden Opportunity Looms

| Scene | We open up our scene in what appears to be a back room in eWe Studio. In the room, we see Mr. Man sitting in front of a table, his hands clasped, in front of him, we see interviewer, Justin White, sitting on a regular plain chair in front of him, no microphone in hand, just a camera sitting there in front of both men, both looking rather calmly.

| Justin White | After weeks and weeks of build-up, and months and months of speculation, it is now almost time for the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania. And now, you, Mr. Man, are put into what some have called the biggest match at WrestleMania, in the Money in the Bank. My first question to you is this, this close to WrestleMania, what are your thoughts to win this match?

| Mr. Man | Justin, for weeks, and weeks, I have been waiting for this match since I qualified, and believe me, I have had several thoughts going into this match. One thought would be of all the cool ways I can use that ladder into my own personal friend. I've been thinking of the cool new ways I can use that ladder and make it beat all five of my opponents, allowing me to climb that same ladder. I've been thinking of ways I can make myself an even bigger name than I already am. Ever since I qualified to the Money in the Bank ladder match, Justin, I've set my mind clear and thought of nothing but briefcases, thinking of nothing but ladders, and watching every single thing my 5 opponents do, and the one thing that's gone through my mind more than anything, Justin, that is winning the match.

| Scene | Mr. Man looks a little uneasy, but none-the-less, he sits on his chair with a smile of both confidence and focus.

| Mr. Man | Justin, since I qualified last month, I have made it known that my intentions were simple and easy, and that is becoming Mr. Money in the Bank. I have shown that I can do it, and because of last year, I have what my five opponents lack, and that is experience. All five of them, for sure, they all have their own little claims, myself, my claim is becoming great, becoming the man I know I can be, and that is immortal. And in this match, immortality, that is what you need if I plan on winning this match. All the thoughts going through my head, Justin, it means nothing for the match at WrestleMania.

| Justin White | Now at WrestleMania time, some people usually go onto the meaning of how heart helps them become great and win matches. My question to you is this, do you believe you have the heart that it takes to go onto winning the Money in the Bank ladder match?

| Mr. Man | The thing about it, it's not heart that makes a wrestler great, it's not even luck, it's one thing and one thing only, and that is skill. Justin, it's about working your ass off for three years to become World Heavyweight Champion, and when you finally have it, you get screwed by a cage, screwed by some Canadian mid-card reject. But yes, Justin, I do have heart, I care more about this business than I do about my family. I live through the ring, and I will die through the ring. But unlike others in this match, I not only have heart, I have what they are limited through, and that is skill, determination, a mindset that tells me I am the best, because that is what I truly believe Justin, I am the best in the world, and at WrestleMania, by winning the Money in the Bank ladder match, I will prove to the entire World, that I am simply the best.

| Scene | Mr. Man then smirks towards Justin White, looking down with a thoughtful expression across his forehead and eyes.

| Mr. Man | And Justin, when I look through my opponents tonight, and when I think of any of them having heart, I look towards one man. One man who has tried living past his fathers name, going through more improvements, and using heart to show his determination to become a World Champion, I look to Ciaran Michaels. Justin, I'll admit to you, I may not like Ciaran Michaels, but I do respect him. I respect him for not wanting to use his father name to get big, and becoming a near main eventer by himself. But as for respect, that's all I can give him Justin, because let's face it, what has he done in the past year? Sure, he got close to winning the World title, but the fact is, he couldn't do it, he choked on that opportunity, and now he thinks winning the Money in the Bank ladder match will help him reach that upper tier. And knowing Ciaran, I know he's gonna work his hardest, his heart will be full of nothing but soul, and each and every moment, he will look deep down inside of himself.

| Scene | Mr. Man just looks at Justin White with a smirk, before looking down and shaking his head, the camera catching it all.

| Mr. Man | But, looking at those cliche's Justin, looking at how he wants to use his heart, his soul, everything he can to get the job done, he lacks one thing, and that is skill. Justin, 2007 was supposed to bet he year Ciaran Michaels became eWe Champion, the year he finally broke that glass ceiling, and made himself more famous than he already is, but unfortunately for him, he choked. But all the while, while Ciaran was using his heart to guide him to the World title, while he was reaching "deep down inside himself" to get the win, it took me one try, my first try, to become World Heavyweight Champion, while Ciaran Michaels was using his heart to keep him stuck in the mid-card. Justin, Ciaran Michaels proves the point that heart gets you nowhere but an almost-could be in pro-wrestling, and me, I prove it takes skill to become great, something Ciaran isn't, and at WrestleMania, I plan on outlasting Ciaran, and I plan on becoming Mr. Money in the Bank.

| Justin White | Well, Mr. Man, you talk about Ciaran Michaels trying not to live in his fathers shadow , and claiming he has heart, but as you know, he is not the only second generation wrestler in this match, Chris Hart is too.

| Mr. Man | Here's the thing about Chris Hart, Justin, unlike Ciaran, not only do I not like Chris Hart, I don't even respect him. Don't get me wrong Justin, he's a member of the Hart family, he has a big reputation to up-hold, but the fact of the matter is, he's a tag team wrestler, a decent one at best. While Ciaran Michaels at least tries, Chris Hart relies on his name, on his families reputation, on his father, to demonstrate himself in the ring, and the fact of the matter is, it doesn't work. Chris Hart, he does not deserve to be in this match at all, he is overrated, and he's not very good, and because of it, I know for a fact, he's not a big factor in this match, and why should he be?

| Scene | Mr. Man then looks over to Justin, not with a glare, or a look, just a simple stare, looking right at Justin.

| Mr. Man | Think about it, Justin, why would I believe Chris Hart is a big threat, when for the past two years, all I've seen Chris Hart do is be a tag team wrestler. I mean, sure, he's had some big singles matches against Law, he's currently being managed by Chris Ceno, but he has done nothing for me too care about him. Look at last year's WrestleMania, he wrestled in a tag team match, and he couldn't even win. The fact of the matter is, Chris Hart doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as me, and at WrestleMania, I promise, I am going to expose him as the fraud he is. I am going to teach him a lesson in how to fool people, and I promise, just like I will Ciaran, I plan on outlasting Chris Hart and becoming Mr. Money in the Bank.

| Justin White | Now, last year at WrestleMania, you competed in this same match, and came so close to win it last year, but ultimately lost. What I think everyone needs to know, do you think this year will be different?

| Mr. Man | You're right, Justin, last year I came so close to becoming Mr. Money in the Bank, but got burned from the win, and because of it, I did not win. But when you look at 2007, and you will look at it as the year that Mr. Man was able to not even use a briefcase, and wrestle his way up to the top. But you see, much like last year's Money in the Bank, my World title reign ended disappointingly, when I got screwed by a cage out of my World Heavyweight Championship, then getting screwed by a Canadian midcard heart throb, out of the rematch. What this Money in the Bank ladder match means to me, is this Golden Opportunity for me to climb back up the mountain, and make myself more known than I already am, and to prove myself as the Gold Standard of pro-wrestling, and taking this opportunity and blowing it up ten times more by becoming Undisputed Champion.

| Scene | Mr. Man leaves his face a bit straight, but pauses for a second, looking around the room.

| Mr. Man | But that's the beauty of this match, Justin, this isn't just a Golden Opportunity for me to reclaim the glory I got screwed out of, this could make a career out of somebody. Which brings someone to mind, in David Hybrid. See, the man has been in this company for about two months, and since then, he has been making waves as the next big thing in this company. This could be his opportunity to make himself into a real big name Justin, by outlasting his opponents and climbing that ladder of greatness, and hopefully becoming Undisputed Champion. But the thing is, it won't work, David Hybrid, like all the other next big things, will fail. What Hybrid needs to know is, is that this is the biggest match of his career. This match will either make, or most likely break his career. And I know people are gonna say I'm hard on him, but let's face it, last ShowDown, I carried David Hybrid to the biggest and most powerful win of his career, what makes him think he can win it?

| Scene | Mr. Man smiles again, looking around the room still, slightly pausing one more time.

| Mr. Man | But unlike David Hybrid, there are some opponents at WrestleMania who think they deserve their shot at greatness again. First you got Nero Phoenix, a man who was brought up way to early in the company, and completely dominated his way to his first World title. But that title reign, it meant nothing, because he got exposed for the fraud he was and lost it within three weeks. And since then, Nero has been climbing his way back up to the top, but every single he has failed. Now, Justin some might say, me included, that lately, perhaps Nero Phoenix has gone through a career renaissance, and has started to change peoples minds as to how he was once a fraud, and how he has become a somewhat respectable athlete, but the fact of the matter is, it won't mean a damn thing. WrestleMania will be known as the night Mr. Man climbed back up to the top, not Nero Phoenix. All it means, Justin, is that I can finally make my way back up to the top, that I add yet another plaque in my list of achievements in the eWe, in my Hall of Fame career, and become Mr. Money in the Bank, and Nero Phoenix, he will not stop me.

| Justin White | Well, Mr. Man, you talk about your legacy and your Hall of Fame worthy career, and it brings me up to someone in the match, White Tiger. White Tiger probably has the most to gain, as this could be yet another achievements White Tiger puts into his career, don't you at least think he has a bigger chance at winning?

| Mr. Man | Of course I believe he has a big chance at winning, Justin, but he doesn't deserve to win. He goes on and on about how the "new blood" has been screwing up at every chance they got, he misses out on one exception. Last time I check, I beat White Tiger in a singles match, when he was World champion, and by beating him, I signified my career was going to be big, and I subsequently won the World title. Justin, I am not just what he calls New Blood, but I am also the Future of Sports and Entertainment, White Tiger, he is the past, and he needs to realize it. And Justin, I'll be the first to admit, he used to be the Gold Standard of this company, but now he needs to leave that too me. He needs to know that at WrestleMania, he will fall flat onto his face, onto his back, and will look up at the lights, as I become the winner of the 2008 Money in the Bank ladder match.

| Scene | Mr. Man now laughs, looking at Justin White, and just chuckles away, almost uncontrollably.

| Mr. Man | And yet, while we head into WrestleMania, I look around and I see how people go around saying that this is White Tiger's match, that he will win, that he is a surefire win. But what I need to know is, how could somebody as overrated, as over hyped as White Tiger, as Jeff Payne the man, is able to get so many supporters. I need to understand is how did White Tiger suddenly become the man of the eWe again, especially after the past year and a half of being any new flavor of month's bitch, does he become a big threat. At WrestleMania, it won't be about him, it won't be yet another mind sucking White Tiger win, it will be about the man who has come from the lowest of lows, to the highest of highs, the man who has proved to the world that he was indeed the best at what he does, and that is me. White Tiger, at WrestleMania, will not know what or who hit him, all he'll be able to understand is the fact that Mr. Man just beat him to become Mr. Money in the Bank.

| Justin White | With that being said, with my last question, do you really believe you have a chance at winning the Money in the Bank ladder match?

| Mr. Man | Justin, I have no doubts in my mind that I will become Mr. Money in the Bank. And whether you're looking for yourself to breakout into the main event, much like Ciaran Michaels, or you're looking for being able to live up to your families reputation, in Chris Hart. Maybe you're looking to make yourself into a big name in pro-wrestling, like David Hybrid, or maybe looking to cash in one past dues and climbing back up where you threw yourself off, in Nero Phoenix, even if you're just looking to add yet another achievements to your, already impressive, resume in White Tiger. Whatever your case in this match may be, I need you all to realize, no matter what story you're looking to tell, what angle you're trying to shoot, at WrestleMania 5, none of that will matter. At the end of the night, there will be only one man, with his hand up high, standing on top of that ladder, holding up that Treasure chest in a briefcase as Mr. Money in the Bank. He won't be White Tiger, he won't be Nero Phoenix, he won't be David Hybrid, Chris Hart, or even Ciaran Michaels, it will be the Gold Standard of the eWe, the Future of Sports-Entertainment, it will be Mr. Man.

| Scene | Mr. Man then smirks into the camera, before shaking Justin White's hand, ending this interview, as the camera eventually fades to black, ending the scene and roleplay.
