"Every time I get close to that brass ring, I always miss it"

Jeff Hardy: "I've been in the WWE now for about ten years. And I can't lie, the journey hasn't always been a smooth one. Over that time I've become known as a risk taker. You know, wreckless, crazy, extreme. And that's why I am YOUR CHARISMATIC ENIGMA! And normally when people have negative thoughts about me, I'm not bothered by that because I am confident and comfortable in my own skin and I hope you respect that. But last week Triple H said something to me that made me think. He said, every time I get close to that brass ring, I always miss it. In other words he was saying I'd never have the big one. At first I was angry. But then I realized what Triple H was trying to do. He was trying to motivate me. He was trying to change me. He was trying to make me better. Congratulations, Game. You HAVE motivated me, you HAVE fired me up, you HAVE made me better. And at No Mercy, I'm not gonna be reaching for the brass ring. I'm gonna be reaching for YOUR WWE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Now, someone else I'd like to speak of: Vladimir Kozlov. You speak of how you're always craving competition. And yet last week after I won the Fatal Four Way, you strike me from behind instead of facing me like a man. Well Vladimir, if its so much competition..." [Hardy wird von The Brian Kendrick unterbrochen]

The Brian Kendrick: "Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. I think you're forgetting about somebody. And I'm regardless of what Vladimir might have done to you last week, Jeff. You've got bigger fish to fry, buddy. You gotta worry about The Brian Kendrick - right now."

Jeff Hardy: "Oh you mean The Brian Kendrick, I beat in THE Fatal Four Way to become THE No. 1 Condender?"

The Brian Kendrick: "That was last week, Jeff. And last week was some sort of chaotic free-for-all. It wasn't the proper platform for me to show off my talents and abilities, Jeff. But tonight, It's one on one. Unless, of course, you've got something else to do, like... maybe one of those extracurricular activities Triple H has been talking about." [Hardy beendet diese Diskussion mit einer Ohrfeige und das Match beginnt.]
