WFW Christmas Card: Sean Edmunds vs. Steve Savoy

[PaulNJ21]

(BACKSTAGE)

::Anarky and Felix Red walk through the curtain helping each other to the back::

BLACK ROSE: Can I have a word with LOVE on your victory?

ANARKY: Go to ****ing hell.

:itt and Thirteen rush in and hit Felix Red and Anarky in the back of the head with shovels::

THIRTEEN: You thought this was over, IT WILL NEVER BE OVER…

:itt shoves the shovel right up against the throat of Felix Red and Felix Red is trying desperately to keep Pitt from crushing his throat::

THIRTEEN: Until you are dead.

::Jared Wells rushes over and Pitts and Thirteen take off::

JARED WELLS: Can we get some ****ing help here?!

::the medics rush over to help Felix Red and Anarky out, a pissed off Jared Wells knocks the water cooler over::

(BROADCAST BOOTH)

JONATHAN MARX: With the way these guys think, these guys may be a bigger challenge to LOVE than Inner Circle is.

VIC WATERS: They are devious and demented… they know how LOVE thinks and they are willing to one up him.

BRANDON JACOBS: We’ll have an update on Felix Red and Anarky if we find out anything, in the mean time, it is time for a meeting between two of my favorite wrestlers of alltime, Sean Edmunds and Shawn… err… Steve Savoy.

JONATHAN MARX: When it comes to the greatest champion we have ever had, Shawn Hart and Michael Manson are neck and neck in my eyes. I loved that period where Shawn Hart was champion more than any other and he had such a spectacular chase of Doc to get there. But then again, you have Manson and WFW really came into its own with the likes of Southern, Melton, Dan Ryan, Maelstrom, and Rabesque all coming here to be a part of the action and things got even bigger than they were before which I didn’t even think was possible.

VIC WATERS: Hell, Manson may even be on the verge of winning the Ultratitle as WFW World Heavyweight Champion.

JONATHAN MARX: Another man though who is on Steve Savoy’s level who is also a former WFW World Heavyweight Champion is another one of my favorites, Sean Edmunds. Edmunds is just brilliant inside and outside of the ring and he has this spirit to him which I wish more people would have. It would make my job as an announcer so much easier if I got to call matches for guys like Steve Savoy and Edmunds every week.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds had his title run cut short against President Wylde, but I have a feeling the next chance he gets at the title, he is going to make the most of it.

JONATHAN MARX: What do you think Brandon?

BRANDON JACOBS: I loved C.O.C.K.S. I couldn’t get enough of them.

::Vic spits out his water::

BRANDON JACOBS: Shawn Hart and Diablo when Diablo was still Diablo in full force was such a fun time in WFW history. They were the spirit of this company and while Diablo never had the singles success that he should have, he was always one of my favorites. Hart and Diablo running side by side, two warriors fighting against the world…. That is what wrestling is all about.

VIC WATERS: **** stirring…

BRANDON JACOBS: They did stir some poop like El Arco Iris would say, but you sort of have to in today’s world. If you let the world come to you, you’ll be waiting a long, long time. You have to take initiative in order to be the best of the best and with all of this great talent which has come in to join the WFW over the last four months and more on the way with Bloodhunt and Noble Shiek, you have to do what you have to do to get ahead.

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds would be in a much better position if he had someone watching his back besides Sherri. Don’t get me wrong, Sherri does a great job, but look at LOVE, all of those guys have each other’s back and that is why it works for them. Hell, even Copycat has El Arco Iris, even though he is like the bastard son which he refuses to acknowledge. Doc even in the beginning had his group of miscellaneous thugs watching his back like Greenie to help him if he ever needed any backup.

BRANDON JACOBS: Everyone wants to be a lone wolf these days, because it is “cool”. But when you get into a fight, it is always good to have someone to back your tushie up.

JONATHAN MARX: I was watching the Apprentice last night on CNBC and they were absolutely the worst team that I have ever seen, everyone wanted to be the leader, people were telling other people to **** off and it seemed like everyone had some sort of grudge against someone and this was a team that had won the challenge the week before.

BRANDON JACOBS: People just don’t play as well with others as they did back in the day.

JONATHAN MARX: It is a damn shame too, and it isn’t that I am preaching gang warfare, but everyone should at least have one person watching their back who can help them when need be.

BRANDON JACOBS: For Steve Savoy tonight, that man is Ron Artest and he will be at ringside to keep Sherri in check.

JONATHAN MARX: Ron Artest vs. Sherri…. I don’t know which one is more scary, but it will be fun to find out.

BRANDON JACOBS: Folks, lets send this one down to ringside and get this one underway!

(CUEUP: “Watching the Wheels" by John Lennon)

RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, accompanied by Ron Artest, from Orlando, Florida, the former BAD and WFW World Heavyweight Champion, the man formerly known as Shawn Hart….. STEVE SAVOY!

::Steve Savoy and Ron Artest walks the aisle to a mixed reaction from the crowd and Savoy enters the ring::

(CUEUP: "Brain Stew" by Green Day)

RING ANNOUNCER: And his opponent, currently residing in his winter residence in Hawaii, a three time WWL World Champion and current President of the WFW….. 'Simply Sensational' Sean Edmunds!

:: Edmunds comes down to the ring accompanied by Sherri and enters the ring to the loud boos from the crowd, Sherri hands a piece of paper to the ring announcer::

RING ANNOUNCER: I HAVE BEEN JUST HANDED THIS NOTICE…. THIS MATCH IS A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH! The winner of this match will face the WFW World Heavyweight Champion at Merrython… and the loser of this match will be in a number one contender match against ANARKY to determine who will get the shot at Manson or Copycat at the PPV.

JONATHAN MARX: That bastard is using his own power to his advantage.

VIC WATERS: The rules only state that you can only can’t make title matches for yourself at President and Edmunds didn’t do that. He still has to win this match to get his shot at the title so by WFW guidelines he did nothing wrong.

JONATHAN MARX: It is still shady.

*bell rings*

BRANDON JACOBS: Steve Savoy and Sean Edmunds walk to the middle of the ring and they are staring each other down.

JONATHAN MARX: As great as these two are, they have never crossed paths before tonight.

VIC WATERS: Well they will now….

BRANDON JACOBS: SEAN EDMUNDS CHOPS STEVE SAVOY ACROSS THE CHEST AND SAVOY GRIMACES IN PAIN! Savoy winds up…. HE HITS EDMUNDS ACROSS THE JAW WITH A DISCUS PUNCH!

JONATHAN MARX: That is the old Shawn Hart…err.. I mean Steve Savoy that I remember.

VIC WATERS: I knew one of us is going to slip and use the wrong name.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS COMES BACK WITH A SERIES OF HARD CHOPS TO THE CHEST! Edmunds grabs the arm of Savoy and whips him off the ropes…. EDMUNDS TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds has great agility.

VIC WATERS: That is what Sherri tells me too.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds mounts Hart and starts punching away with closed fists right to the head of Savoy!

JONATHAN MARX: He is hitting him so hard, he is going to think that he is Captain Boomerang in the morning.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds has been in his share of fights with Copycat and Wells so he really knows how to fight.

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY PUSHES HIM OFF AND HE GOES FLYING OFF AND HIS NECK LANDS ACROSS THE SECOND ROPE AND HE FALLS DOWN ON THE MAT!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds unluckily was too close to the ropes.

VIC WATERS: Savoy doesn’t want to go the way of the Dodo, a big win here would reestablish him on his way and even give him a chance to face the WFW World Heavyweight Champion.

BRANDON JACOBS: Steve Savoy gets up he drapes Edmunds neck over the second rope…. SAVOY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND LANDS WITH HIS LEG ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD DRIVING HIM INTO THAT ROPE AGAIN!

JONATHAN MARX: Savoy is showing Edmunds who is boss. If Steve Savoy can take the wind out of Edmunds, he can shorten this match up which would favor Savoy because he hasn’t had a longer match since he has comeback here in WFW.

VIC WATERS: It is good strategy, but Edmunds will find a way to recover.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds is trying to get away but Savoy grabs him by the hair and picks him up off the mat. SAVOY HITS EDMUNDS WITH A SERIES OF QUICK JABS TO THE HEAD STUNNING HIM!

VIC WATERS: Those are illegal strikes. His fist is closed.

JONATHAN MARX: They were closed earlier when Edmunds was doing it to him too. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES FOR A CLOTHESLINE….. EDMUNDS JUMPS UP AND HE CRUCIFIXES SAVOY’S ARM WITH HIS LEG AND GRABS HIS OTHER ARM TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds has a fighter’s instinct.

BRANDON JACOBS: THE REF GOES DOWN TO COUNT! 1--------------------------------------------------2------------------------------------- SAVOY KICKS OUT BEFORE THE THREE!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds almost pulled it off….

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds and Savoy are getting up…. EDMUNDS DIVES OVER SAVOY AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP! The ref goes down to count! 1----------------------------------------------------2------------------------------------ SAVOY KICKS OUT AGAIN!

VIC WATERS: Edmunds is on fire right now.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds gets back up as Savoy is trying to get to his feet… EDMUNDS HITS SAVOY WITH A STANDING DROPKICK AND SAVOY TUMBLES THROUGH THE ROPES OUT TO THE FLOOR!

JONATHAN MARX: Savoy landed on side and it looks like he is clutching his ribs.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds has had a burst of energy and he has totally taken Savoy off guard.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds charges towards the ropes… BUT THE REFEREE IS STOPPING HIM! He is telling him to give him Savoy a chance to get up….. WAIT A SECOND, HERE COMES SHERRI AND SHE STARTS KICKING HIM WITH HER HIGH HEELED SHOES!

JONATHAN MARX: Ouch, those things are steel tipped… or so I’ve been told.

VIC WATERS: Sherri is vicious, god I love her.

JONATHAN MARX: Well you are into that sort of thing…

BRANDON JACOBS: RON ARTEST STARTS COMING OVER AND SHERRI FINALLY BACKS AWAY! Edmunds comes out of the ring after Savoy…. EDMUNDS PICKS HIM UP IN A WAISTLOCK FROM BEHIND AND RAMS HIM CHEST FIRST INTO THE GUARDRAIL AND SAVOY IS HANGING OVER THE SIDE ON THE VERGE OF TIPPING OVER INTO THE FRONT ROW!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds is showing no mercy to Savoy.

VIC WATERS: Why should he? Edmunds wants the WFW World Heavyweight Title shot.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds picks him off the guardrail and waistlocks him from behind… EDMUNDS IS GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING BUT SAVOY BLOCKS IT! Savoy elbows Edmunds right in the face!

JONATHAN MARX: Savoy is very lucky he blocked that or Edmunds would have had him beat.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS LOSES HIS BALANCE…. SAVOY HITS EDMUNDS WITH A SUPERKICK RIGHT IN THE CHIN AND EDMUNDS FALLS DOWN TO THE GROUND! SHERRI CHARGES SAVOY WITH A CLOTHESLINE WITH HER PURSE…. SAVOY BACK BODY DROPS SHERRI ONTO THE GROUND!

::Ron Artest starts banging on the mat, trying to get the crowd going::

CROWD: LETS GO STEVE! LETS GO STEVE!

JONATHAN MARX: This crowd is really getting behind Savoy.

VIC WATERS: Compared to Edmunds, Savoy is a saint.

BRANDON JACOBS: Savoy picks up Edmunds and rolls him into the ring and he comes in after him. Savoy picks Edmunds up by the hair…. EDMUNDS CHOPS SAVOY RIGHT IN THE CHEST!

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds is fighting to keep Savoy away from him, but I don’t know for how long.

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY KNEE LIFTS EDMUNDS IN THE HEAD AND HE KNEE LIFTS HIM AGAIN! Savoy whips Edmunds off the ropes…. HE CATCHES HIM IN A SLEEPER HOLD AND HE IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO PUT EDMUNDS TO SLEEP!

JONATHAN MARX: I hear Edmunds has been having trouble with that lately.

VIC WATERS: You can’t crack a cola problem over night.

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY IS DRAGGING EDMUNDS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING SO HE CAN’T GET TO THE ROPES! Savoy is using all the power that he has to put a vice like grip around Edmunds’s head!

JONATHAN MARX: The question is, how long can Edmunds hold out for? Edmunds throat and head has taken a lot of punishment already in this match and if he stays in it too long, it is going to sap the remaining strength he has.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds is in a bad position in the middle of that ring. He has to figure out a way to get out of this and quickly.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS STARTING TO GO OUT AND THE REF IS CHECKING ON HIM!

JONATHAN MARX: He has to make sure this doesn’t turn into a choke.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS SHIFTING SAVOY’S WEIGHT FORWARD AND HE IS TRYING TO CARRY HIM ON HIS BACK TO THE ROPES! It looks like Edmunds is finally making some progress.

JONATHAN MARX: He is just a few feet away from the ropes. He can make it!

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY IS TRYING SHIFTING HIS BODY AROUND ON THE BACK OF KEEP EDMUNDS FROM GETTING TO THE ROPES…. SAVOY ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKS THE REF DOWN IN THE STRUGGLE!

JONATHAN MARX: Oh man, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS GETS TO THE ROPES…. SHERRI JUMPS ONTO THE RING APRON WITH THAT LOADED PURSE OF HERS AND SHE NAILS SAVOY WITH A SHOT TO THE HEAD AND SAVOY FALLS OFF OF EDMUNDS BACK AND DOWN ONTO THE GROUND! Edmunds is going for the cover and a groggy referee is going over to make the count!

VIC WATERS: Edmunds is a genius, what did I tell you?

JONATHAN MARX: This match can’t end like that.

BRANDON JACOBS: The ref goes down to make the count! 1----------------------------------------------2-------------------------------------- SAVOY MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THE THREE!

JONATHAN MARX: Thank god.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds need a little bit more to take Savoy out.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds picks up Savoy…. HE BODY SLAMS HIM IN THE CORNER AND HE IS CLIMBING THE TURNBUCKLES UP TO THE TOP ROPE!

VIC WATERS: This could be a moonsault or he could be the top rope elbow drop, Edmunds has his choice.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS SETS ON TOP…. HE IS GOING FOR A MOONSAULT…. HE FLIES OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HITS THE MOONSAULT TO PERFECTION! Edmunds rolls off and now he is holding his ribs!

JONATHAN MARX: A moonsault is high impact, but it also leaves an impact on you when you crash onto your opponents body.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS CRAWLS OVER AND MAKES THE COVER! The ref goes down for the count! 1---------------------------------------------------------2-------------------------------------- SAVOY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

JONATHAN MARX: What is he going to have to do to keep Savoy down?

VIC WATERS: Edmunds needs to bust out his big guns and bust out the Northern Lights.

JONATHAN MARX: You may be right, everything else is working.

VIC WATERS: I am always right.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds get up… AND HE IS ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE THAT IS SLOW COUNTING HIM!

JONATHAN MARX: I think the referee has been more than fair to both parties tonight.

VIC WATERS: It is just a blatant attempt by the referee to suck up to Felix Red just in case he winds up winning the recount. But we don’t have to worry about, they are going to do a recount and we are going to find out once and for all that Edmunds won the election and those idiots down in Florida messed up.

BRANDON JACOBS: Steve Savoy is trying to get up…. EDMUNDS KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD REPEATEDLY TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING UP!

CROWD: LETS GO STEVE! LETS GO STEVE! LETS GO STEVE!

JONATHAN MARX: It is that never say attitude of Savoy that has gotten these fans so riled up.

VIC WATERS: They are just jealous that Edmunds is with such a fine looking woman.

JONATHAN MARX: She is old enough to be my Mom.

VIC WATERS: People are into those things these days.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS YELLING AT THIS CROWD TO SHUT UP… EDMUNDS PICKS UP SAVOY BY THE HAIR…. HE PICKS UP SAVOY AND HITS HIM WITH AN INVERTED ATOMIC DROP!

JONATHAN MARX: That is sending a shock up and down his spinal chord like he didn’t have enough problems already.

VIC WATERS: No to mention there may not be any more little Savoys either.

BRANDON JACOBS: Savoy is bent over in agony… GRABBING HIS BACK!

VIC WATERS: This is time to go for the kill, Edmunds can’t let this match get away from him.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS GRABS SAVOY TO FINISH HIM OFF…. SAVOY IS FIGHTING BACK AND HE HITS EDMUNDS WITH A DISCUS PUNCH RIGHT TO THE JAW! AND ANOTHER! ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER!

JONATHAN MARX: Savoy has worked so hard to reach this point, he doesn’t want to be turned back now. Not when he is so close.

VIC WATERS: Close only counts in horseshoes.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS REELING BACK… SAVOY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES….. EL CODO EXPLOSIVO AND EDMUNDS GOES STUMBLES BACKWARDS AND FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE!

JONATHAN MARX: The El Codo Explosivo is like being hit with a nuclear bomb, it is so damn unpredictable.

VIC WATERS: He won the WFW World Heavyweight with that move from Doc.

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds is trying to get back up to his feet….. SAVOY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND FLIPS OVER EDMUNDS AND LANDS ON HIM WITH A RANA!

CROWD: BAD KICKS ASS! BAD KICKS ASS! BAD KICKS ASS!

JONATHAN MARX: Holy cow, Savoy is going all out.

VIC WATERS: COME ON EDMUNDS!

BRANDON JACOBS: Savoy is getting up first…. HE PICKS UP EDMUNDS AND HE WHIPS HIM INTO THE GUARDRAIL! The ref is starting to put a count on both men!

REF: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!

JONATHAN MARX: They have to get back into the ring before the twenty count.

BRANDON JACOBS: SAVOY RUNS AT EDMUNDS….. HE GOES FOR THE SPLASH BUT EDMUNDS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SAVOY CRASHES INTO THE GUARDRAIL WITH THOSE INJURED RIBS OF HIS!

REF: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!

VIC WATERS: Edmunds caught a break, he needs to get back in to the ring.

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS PULLING UP THE RING MATS AT RINGSIDE!

REF: NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE!

JONATHAN MARX: He is running out of time!

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS PULLS SAVOY ONTO THE METAL STEPS AND HE UNDERHOOKS THE ARMS…. SUPERPLEX ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR FROM THE STEEL STEPS!

JONATHAN MARX: Good god… Edmunds is risking both men not being able to get up..

VIC WATERS: GET UP EDMUNDS!

REF: THIRTEEN! FOURTEEN! FIFTEEN!

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS IS GETTING BACK UP AND HE IS TRYING TO ROLL BACK IN…… SAVOY IS HOLDING ONTO HIS LEG!

REF: SIXTEEN! SEVENTEEN!

VIC WATERS: GET HIM OFF DAMN IT!

BRANDON JACOBS: EDMUNDS PICKS UP SAVOY BY THE HAIR….. SAVOY KICKS HIM IN THE CHEST AND HITS HIM WITH THE HART ATTACK! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!

REF: EIGHTEEN! NINTEEN! TWENTY! ::the ref signals for the bell::

VIC WATER: NO! EDMUNDS WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIS SHOT!

RING ANNOUNCER: THE REFEREE HAS DECLARED THIS MATCH A DOUBLE COUNT OUT!

(CUEUP: “One Shot At Glory” by Judas Priest)

BRANDON JACOBS: Wait a second…. HERE COMES WINK! Both Edmunds and Savoy are down….

CHRIS WINK (on the house mic): We seem to have a little predicament here…

BRANDON JACOBS: Savoy is starting to get back up… and Sherri now is helping Edmunds back up.

CHRIS WINK (on the house mic): ONLY ONE MAN CAN GO TO MERRYTHON AND CHALLENGE FOR THE WFW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE…. The question is though, who should it be? You two are pretty evenly matched, I could restart this and you could go another hour with the way you two were going unless you killed each other first. I HAVE A SOLUTION, A TIME TESTED METHOD THAT GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME…. ::Wink pulls out a coin and shows both sides to each man::

JONATHAN MARX: Is he serious? Are we really going to determine who gets the shot at Merrython and who is put in the number one contender match against Anarky… BY A COIN FLIP? The old man is losing it…

CHRIS WINK: ::looks at Edmunds:: Since you are the WFW President, you get to call it…. HEADS OR TAILS…

SEAN EDMUNDS: ::giving Wink a look of disbelief:: Tails.

::Chris Wink flips the coin and catches it in his hand, Wink opens up his hand and looks at it… and closes it again before anyone can see it::

CHRIS WINK: HEADS IT IS! SAVOY WILL GET HIS CHANCE AT THE WFW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AT MERRYTHON! Sorry Prez, you are going to have work for this one.

::Wink starts heading for the back::

BRANDON JACOBS: Edmunds and Sherri are irate and I don’t know if I can blame them.

JONATHAN MARX: Edmunds did it to Copycat repeatedly. This is just karma biting him in the ass.

BRANDON JACOBS: Folks, we have to take a commercial, when we comeback, due to a schedule change by Edmunds, the WFW North American Title defense…. STAY TUNED!
