That morning, Jack Matthews woke up, had breakfast, got dressed, and went to his job, which started at 9AM. He worked for 5 hours, came back home, and got changed. However, as he was leaving the house to go to his first session at the Daniel Bryan Wrestling Academy, he stopped. He had been dreaming of this since he was 6. Back in 2010, guys like John Cena, Randy Orton, The Undertaker, Triple H, and CM Punk immediately captivated him. To think he was taking that first step on the journey he had been dreaming about for a decade-well, it scared him. But, he was excited, incredibly excited. He never was so excited in his life. So, he stepped outside and shut the door behind him.
1 hour later
It was the grand opening, and Daniel Bryan was there for the first session. He gave a little speech, which caught a hold of everyone that was there. Then, he shook everyone's hand, and when it came to Jack's turn, Daniel intensely looked in his eyes, like he saw something in him. It turned out, he did. He had a conversation with the head trainer about it. "Hey, Chris." "Hey, Daniel. What's up?" " You know that kid, over there?" He pointed at Jack, who was listening intently to a lecture by another trainer about the importance of selling a body slam correctly. "Yeah, his name is Jack Matthews." "I saw something in his eyes. Something new, something strong." " He's a scrawny 16 year old who watched Raw, or Smackdown for a bit, wanted to become a new A.J Styles, or Dean Ambrose, or Seth Rollins." "Well, that's why he, and everyone else are here for. To learn. I'll take him in sparring later." "OK, then. Don't say I didn't warn you." Daniel gestured to Jack for him to come over. "Yes, Mr Bryan?" "First, call me Daniel. Secondly, I wanted to spar with you." "Really, sir- I mean, Daniel? "Yeah, I wanted to see what you've got. Don't worry, though. I'll take it easy, seeing as it's your first time in the ring." "T-Thank you! Shall we?" "OK, then. After you." They got in the ring and started sparring.
After 5 minutes, Daniel called time. The two combatants were both incredibly tired. It had been a very demanding match, if you could call it that. They shook hands, and Daniel said, between breaths, " Well…done. You are… incredibly tenacious." " Thank you… Daniel." Then, the session ended, and everyone got changed. People came up and congratulated Jack on the performance. He, with a smile on his face, got changed went home, and got to sleep.
