Scott Andrew Issac Jeffries (born June 20, 1982), better known by his ring name, Saij, was a professional wrestler for the now-defunct Xtreme Ultimo Wrestling (XUW). His career in XUW spanned from 2002 through 2007. In that time, he won numerous titles, awards, and events. His most notable accomplishments include winning the XUW World Title, the PTC Global Title, and being elected to the XUW Hall of Fame.
He spent the majority of career as one of XUW's most beloved heroes, known to his fans (dubbed "Fark-O-Maniacs") as The Master of the Huzzah and The One-Man Army Of Farkness. Both nicknames stem from his incessant usage of the word "fark," and his catchphrase, "Huzzah!"
XUW Career
Debut
Saij’s made his XUW debut in July of 2002 with a victory against Tiger Mask V. In the weeks that followed, Saij began to feud with fellow newcomer Ric Austin over the XUW Television Title; this started a long and bitter rivalry that would be frequently revisited over the years. At Road Rage 2 in August 2002, Saij and Austin faced off in a Blindfold Match, with Saij capturing the Television Title from Austin. He lost the title several days later to Sidhe Nimh.
Saij’s stock began to rise quickly soon after dropping the Television Title. He defeated Syco at Dingos & Darkness in September 2002 for a shot at the XUW Intercontinental Title, and joined the Boomer Sooners stable (including best friends Dave Kipfer and Fatbadger) shortly thereafter. At Unknown Factors in October 2002, Saij and Numark, the Intercontinental Title holder, waged a classic ladder match that saw Saij capture his first major XUW title in a spectacular finish: both men grabbed the belt at the same time as the ladder collapsed beneath them. As they fell to the mat, Saij wrested the belt away and came down in sole possession. This was the match that catapulted Saij into the XUW limelight.
Intercontinental Title Reign
Saij set an XUW record for the longest single reign with the Intercontinental Title at the time. His first reign as the Intercontinental Champion (or as he liked to say, “The Champion of the Interconts!!!1”) was abbreviated. Only a couple of weeks after defeating Numark, Saij lost the belt to BoneCrusher after being attacked by Henrik The King with a kendo stick during a title defense. This sparked a fury inside Saij (what his friends fearfully referred to as his “murderous rage”), and he won the title back with an authoritative victory over BoneCrusher and Henrik The King at More Double Trouble in a triple threat match in November 2002. Saij and Henrik continued their feud until Saij successfully defended the Intercontinental Title against Henrik at December 2 Dismember 2, the final XUW show on the 2002 calendar.
In January 2003, Saij was paired with rival M V Pete in the Deadly Draw tournament. Unable to stand teaming with Saij, Pete intentionally knocked Saij out and cost them their first-round match. Saij got a measure of revenge later that month at Cause & Effect, stealing a victory from Pete with a schoolboy roll-up to escape with the Intercontinental Title still around his waist.
After four months as the Intercontinental Champion, Saij finally lost the belt to Pete in a rematch from Cause & Effect. On a mid-February episode of Vortex, the two foes put on a classic match that saw Saij’s reign come to an end.
In March 2003 at Reborn, Saij teamed with Numark in a tag match against the New Royal Legion, the self-proclaimed L.O.S.T. Tag Title Champions. Saij and Numark were defeated, and Saij was expelled from XUW by the New Royal Legion as the result of a “stipulation” in the insanely convoluted L.O.S.T. Titles rulebook.
