(It’s a house show in small town Missouri with TV taping. The Professionals have just blown the roof off the place with a high impact Camel smoking victory over some local wrestlers. With the energy level already high and cameras rolling for “CS Saturday Morning”, Cue Up: “Trampled Under Foot” (whole lotta LOVE) by Led Zepp. After a 45 second delay Eddy Love walks through the curtain arms held high in a touchdown pose with fists clenched, no fireworks please. Love is wearing a pair of black jeans and an oversized,
tucked in T-shirt that reads “what’s not to LOVE about playboys inc.” encased in a Playboy bunny silhouette. Love feigns the Fargo strut as the crowd chants “Eddy.... Eddy” then gives way to a cocky walk to the ring. He pulls on the top rope, points to the crowd, gives a slight grin, then feigns the Fargo strut again, prompting another anticipating pop from the crowd. Love’s hair is regaining some of it’s length and has been parted down the middle, but it’s short length causes it to fall into his eyes when he becomes
the least bit excited despite his attempts to spray it to it’s former perfection.)
What could be more fitting or *more* fun than the CSWA’s king of Show and Tell right here in the Show Me state. (Cheep pop) And let me guarONtee each and every one of you..... that I Love you just as much as you've *always* loved me, (pause) The Southern Dandy.....(pause)..... Hurricane ..... (pause) Eddy Love.
(Fargo Strut to huge ovation. Love stops thoughtfully, bringing the energy level in his voice down a notch)
And now Eddy Love stands with plenty of names to call....... and right here in Missou..... Eddy Love *IS* going to call a few names that just must be called....... but first I must ask what mountain has Chad Merritt and the CSWA left me to climb that can take me any higher..... what bridge can I cross that will take me to greener pastures...... where can Eddy Love go that will give you people the thrills that I’ve given you for the last 5 years and what
can Eddy Love do today in this Federation, the greatest wrestling stage in all the world, to secure any higher professional pedestal than I’ve already placed myself on. I will not wrestle preliminary cards in order to get my hands on the 3rd tier wrestler that holds the belt that Troy Windham and myself made the most coveted award in all of professional sports ....... Troy and I will not take the proverbial tag team candy from the group of no talent, nicotine addicts and girlie men who now battle for those straps ...... Young Havoc steps up to take a swing at Eddy, then hears Hurricane Eddy promise no more Mr. Nice Guy and decides professional wrestling might not be the best way to earn a paycheck.
(Love stops thoughtfully, hand on chin)
I mean when I came back to the CSWA I was presented with what was called not only the biggest challenge of my career, but promised to be something that would engulf not only Eddy Love’s career, but the entire CSWA and the Godfather of professional wrestling himself, Boss Merritt. Now almost a year later that challenge, the Claimstakers, turned out to be the biggest CSWA bust since the Lunar Express...... Playboys Incorporated and whatever two bit hack we’ve been booked with be it Larry Stanley, Cardigo Mystery Man or Mickey Mouse, have beaten the presumed unstoppable force known as the Claimstakers at every turn. I mean did any of those three jack asses even win a match during their unequaled alliance...... I think not and even if I do over look one, I’m sure it was against no better than Radder-quality competition.
So Eddy Love practically single handedly forced the Triumvirate into being no more than a side note in CSWA history...... The Southern Dandy has beaten back every challenge ever presented to him..... and now what do you want to see???? I know you’ll fill every arena up to the rafters to see Eddy Love fight Randalls, Powers, Hornet, Cruise, Evan Achoo or anyone else on the roster, but what is it you want?? What will give you that proverbial hard on???
(Smiles, speaks next statement in inquisitive tone, while extending his hands out palms up in a what about pose)
Troy Windham versus Eddy Love......(Huge pop) ...... The King of All Media vs. The Legend Killer..... Big Daddy T against Hurricane Eddy...... The King of all Slackers one on one with the Southern Dandy ....... Playboy versus Playboy.......
Well people, I’ve forged a new friendship with you people and while I’m certainly not going to kiss your collective asses, I have tried to keep your wishes in my plans, but that ##### ain’t gonna happen. The promoter has not yet been found that can write the check big enough to put Eddy Love and Troy Windham on opposite sides of the squared circle....... *but* Chad Merritt is a very smart man...... and at Primetime for the first and last time ever, you people will have the opportunity to see the two greatest this sport has ever
offered square off, and we agreed to it just because the only thing stronger than our friendship is our desire to see thugs like Mike Randalls run from our sport. Troy, if you’re listening I know you’ll bring your “A” game, just remember when it’s all said and done, You’re still my dog.
Now that I’ve promo’d the match that would sell out any arena ion the world, let’s call a few names.
Larry Stanley, you glory hound, you do just like the Playboys told you and stayed out of the way while we drove the last nail in the coffin of the Claimstakers, but you just couldn’t resist staggering over and stealing the pin after Troy had finished Randalls....... well Larry be careful what you shoot for, cause you just might get it and if you think you’re ready to run with wrestling’s elite then keep getting your name mentioned with Playboys Inc ...... just be careful.....
Mark Windham, any brother of Troy’s is a brother of mine..... and the last thing Eddy Love wants is to be in the middle of a sibling rivalry, but if you put your nose in our business in the wrestling ring just one more time, I will rain hell down on you that will inflict physical pain equal to that you’ve suffered to your tortured soul.
Havoc....... Stay out
Aho..... you can sit there quiet like a church mouse, but I see you and you will find out how your technical skills match up (pause) much sooner than you want.
Kevin Powers..... if you wanted someone to care about your retirement, you shoulda done it when the fans still associated you with a star.
And finally .........Eli Flair......(Love pauses walks the ring then looks up to the upper seats, grimace on his face)....... Eli Flair ......... Whether you hear my voice or not Eli...... I think you already know the answers.
(Love drops the mic, makes his way up the ramp as the Fab 4 “All You Need is Love”)
