This page will be about XUW hall-of-famer Saij. Content being added.

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 2008. 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.


XUW 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.
