Christmas Special

Shogun Champion Posts : 82 Join date : 2019-09-05

Loud applause from the crowd can be heard as the curtains are drawn open. With that, a group of dancers takes the stage as the Christmas Special theme song for the Christopher Sabertooth show echoes throughout the auditorium. A monumental return for the landmark show of the wrestling industry-- with the host Christopher Sabertooth finding stride after his recent recovery from moving past Havoc. Sabertooth dances along with the Christmas jingle as the Church choir chimes in together for an epic final note-- with a single spotlight appearing on the stage over Sabertooth. He takes his bow to a loud ovation from the audience as the background changes to that of a Christmas Tree with plenty of gifts to be going around.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my absolute pleasure to be bringing back the Christopher Sabertooth show! After a long-lasting battle with my own inner demons, oops stuff we don’t talk about on television, I have finally decided to bring this old gem out of the closet. Especially knowing all the holiday cheer-- as difficult as this year might have been-- going around the world. It’s Christmas time!! Firstly, we should be taking this moment to appreciate what we have in life. Our family. Our loved ones. Constantly walking along with us through these tough times, giving each other courage to deal with the cruel world that lies outside. So-- I will like to publicly do the same and introduce y’all to the special guest of the night. My loving girlfriend-- HANA NAKAJIMA! Let me hear a loud round of applause for this lovable lady!” Hana Nakajima, embarrassed by the intro, walks into the frame to a loud round of applause.

“Hana and I are going to be playing a little game that we call-- Whose line is it anyway? A Sabertooth original. But before that, here’s a word from our sponsors.” Completed Sabertooth as the pair move towards the seating arrangement on the stage while an advert plays over the screen.

This episode is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends.

Because ofcourse it is.

Back to the regular programming.

“We’re back with the Christmas Special episode of the Christopher Sabertooth show-- Before we indulge ourselves in this wonderful game that I totally created, I’d like to ask you about how your holiday has been going. It’s been a long time since I’ve had somebody to spend the holidays with… How much of a pain in the ass have I been? Please do share!” Joked Sabertooth as the fake laughter chimed in.

“Oh come on. It was a pleasure decorating your house together with the cutest of Christmas ornaments. Some of which, I’ll have you know, I made by hand. Yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands-- But you have been great. The Christmas dinner date was fantastic and the wine along with it was sophisticated.” Hana explained, with a lot of enthusiasm. Sabertooth is very welcoming of the praise that he received from her as he lets her lay it thick on him. He applauds her enthusiasm and gets the audience to get in on the applause as well. For an absurdly long amount of time-- of course, like anything else Sabertooth does.

“That was WONDERFUL! I could let you go on forever but the show must go on!! And with that, it’s time for our first game!”

WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY

“Could you please display the quote on the screen behind me!” Demanded Sabertooth as the show crew comically try to accommodate the phrase onto the screen.

“Christopher Sabertooth or should I say, Havoc. After all, you’re one and the same!”

“So, the question now goes to you! Which Wrestleworld wrestler said this exact phrase. Thirty seconds on the clock-- Think it over, babe! You’ve got this!” As a loud timer appears on the screen. Hana is seen lost in thought, as she thinks it over. After giving a lot of thought, just as the timer is about to expire, she curiously raises her hand. “What’s it going to be?” Questioned Sabertooth with intrigue.

“I want to go with Crazy Violet for the answer. I feel like this is what Vio must have said-- She doesn’t really see the difference. Honestly, for a long time, I didn’t either. Either way, I feel like Crazy Violet is the right answer. I’d like to lock it in!” Hana said cheerfully, waiting to know if she got it right.

“There were a lot of wrestlers to choose from and you narrowed it down to Crazy V…. And unfortunately, that’s the WRONG answer! The right answer was EVERY F***ING BODY! It’s the Christmas Special-- We’ve got to censor profanities for all the kids watching at home. But coming back to the question, Violet is one of them. So, you’re not completely wrong if that’s any consolation. I don’t know why it was so difficult for these lot to understand the difference between myself and Havoc. Sure, we share the same body. Sure, we sound the same for the most part. But I am no demon! I am no monster! Why do people tend to treat me as such?! I still don’t understand why I have to give these people the attention they don’t deserve when they can’t have the courtesy of acknowledging me for who I am! But alas, so is the world. We move on now, Hana. I want you to tell me who said this! This should be an easy one!” Exclaimed Sabertooth, almost sounding giddy with excitement. He points at the screen as the quote is displayed.

“Christopher Sabertooth is nothing without Havoc. He will be dispatched with ease!”

“Well, I don’t agree with that--” Said Hana as Sabertooth interrupts.

“Just play the game, beautiful.” He continued with a forced smile on his face.

“Uhhh-- I don’t know, Xavier Grimwood?” She answered, without putting much thought to this quote.

“Is that your final answer?” Chris asked as Hana nods in agreement. “Well, I must say that you have recovered well with this one. You chose Xavier Grimwood as your answer-- The stereotypical assassin tribute act that doubles as an Animus and Ozymandias fangirl on several Wrestleworld forums. This answer has me frothing in my mouth as Xavier does when he catches glimpse of his heroes like the two mentioned before-- Your answer is CORRECT-- for the most part. Because Xavier isn’t the first to write me off as a contender. He just goes by the record books and sees those losses against mine, sticking out like a sore thumb. Seeing with the analysis that he brought forth about me, it is clear that this man lacks the brain cells to comprehend the simplest of things. He bases his decisions on what the chat forums have to say about their favorite wrestlers. Or maybe, he’s salty that he failed to get any attention leading up to War of the Worlds. Well, here’s your thirty seconds of fame, Xavier. You may think that you know me-- But you don’t have a f***ing clue. When you’re done gargling the balls of Animus and Ozymandias from your mouth, maybe pay more attention to the research going into your fraudulent and incorrect analysis. You are so desperate for attention and it SCREAMS that with every word that you say. Honestly, I’d rather be Havoc again than ever having to listen to you speak. Thankfully, you move around on the show that nobody really cares about-- So, I don’t have to look at your stupid face. Your addition to the Shogun Division is just a liability for the rest of us, for you are sure to fail on any promise that you make. Just like the rest of the members of the Wrestleworld roster that have deemed me a no-contest when it comes to World Dominantioṇ. Frankly speaking, I am disappointed in the trust that you lack in me. Need I remind you that I didn’t need Havoc to be labeled as the next big thing when I signed with OWA. I didn’t need Havoc to become Television Champion in the first couple of months I was back to wrestling. I didn’t need Havoc to become a top prospect since the minute I stepped foot in Wrestleworld. My stock will always be higher up on the totem pole, no matter what you say. You can take away Havoc’s accolades as his and not mention the European Championship-- The most DOMINANT European Champion by the way. Ozymandias…. Eat your heart out. As much as I hate to admit it, nobody could lay a candle on Havoc’s reign at the top. Ozymandias is a heaping mess at the moment and his stock has plummeted down to the lowest it has ever been. While Mr. Montoya could take credit for what he did at By The Sword, it’s not difficult to realize that Ozymandias wasn’t the same after Havoc. Nobody is! And that includes me, funny enough. But I have done my part to recover from that, haven’t I Hana? I have done everything to move past that and see myself rank amongst the best that Wrestleworld has to offer. I don’t care if I lose again. My stock will ALWAYS be higher than most of the people uttering my name during the past couple of weeks. I can never win a match for the rest of my life and they’d STILL have to look up to talk to me. Don’t forget that. None of y’all should forget…. Ahem. On a much light-hearted note, we’ll be back with another fun game with Hana Nakajima, right after this commercial!” Sabertooth said while adjusting his tie. Hana swoops over and tries to calm his nerves from all the shit-talking going around on the inter-webs when it comes to Sabertooth and his recent performance in the ring. The lack of respect shown by his peers is an eye-opener for him as War of the Worlds, now provides an opportunity for him to show up big-time. Sabertooth plans nothing different.

This segment of the show is brought to you by Borat 2.

Yes, it has been out for a while, but we love Borat.

We return to regular programming.

“Welcome back everybody. I’d like to apologize for my outbreak earlier. These times have been quite emotionally charged for me. And if it wasn’t for Hana, I don’t know how I’d deal with all this uncertainty. But you don’t want to hear about that, do you! It’s time for the second game of the night! Hana and I will play a game of Heads Up! Another Sabertooth original as one player has a prompt hidden from him along with the name of a Wrestleworld wrestler, while the other has to give hints to the said person to make them guess without taking their name of course. Whoever gets the most right, gets a special CHRISTMAS hamper! Yes, I am willing to win a prize on my own show. Sue me.” Joked Sabertooth as he asks Hana to place the phone over her forehead for the game to begin.

“Are you ready? 3.2.1. GO!”

Crazy Violet

“Uhh... crazy person with multiple split personality disorder. Can be all sunshine and rainbows at one second and turn into a demon spawn in the other.”

“Havoc?”

“What the--- No! Violet! Skip! What’s wrong with you?”

Jay Jones

“Ugly neck tattoo. Talks like he’s a veteran of the business while my dog is probably older than him. Cocky, but not in a good way. Definitely NOT winning at War of the Worlds. Doomed as a captain.”

“Wait, Drago is in this match? I never noticed it.”

“No! No! Focus, baby! It was Jay Jones. Skip!”

Animus

“Okay. Okay. If Wrestleworld was Christmas, this man would be Grinch. Has a weird obsession with stabbing people in the back. A spider man but not in a cool way. His mask probably stinks and is definitely hiding his ugly mug because the world was tired of seeing it. Also, Raoul.”

“Oh! Animus!”

“BINGO! Next one!”

April Song

“Damn.... Uh. Big Sister?”

“APRIL!”

“YES! YES! GO NEXT!”

Ozymandias

“Oh. This is a good one. A butcher without the meat. A monster that lost his gold. A phenom in the wrestling world that has continued to disappoint ever since his rise to fame. Havoc kinda destroyed for a bit until he didn’t. Wears a mean-looking mask and will probably break somebody’s back on Sunday. Praise be to Cthulhu. Piece of shit.”

“This has to be you, right?”

“BABY?! REALLY! I SAID PIECE OF SHIT! That was uncalled for! Moving on!”

Deus Xavier Machina.

“This will be difficult. But… okay. Old man yells at Cloud! Come on!”

“Huh? Oh wait! Layne Driver’s manager! That old guy that bothered you for a while”

“RIGHT ON THE MONEY! You only have time for one more!”

Daniel Horror

“The GOAT”

“Daniel Horror!”

“DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! Great job, Hana! You got four points. Now let’s see if I can do any better.” Sabertooth said as he grabbed the phone for himself and placed it over his forehead.

Cynthia Rose

“Okay. Has a flower in their name. Their personality is similar to that of a flower.”

“Cynthia Rose!”

“Correct! Move on, babe.”

Xavier Grimwood

“Don’t know who that is. Pass.”

“Really? Okay. Who’s next!”

Neutral Coomer

“Don’t know who that is. Pass.”

“Again?! Well-- Okay. Give me something to work with, Hana.”

Kimberly Chase

“Annoying voice. Possibly a slut. Don’t like them. Was with the current champion not too long ago. Did I say annoying?”

“Uhh… could be a whole bunch of people. Jensen Kidd?”

“No! She’d never be associated with a champion. It was Kimberly! Anyway-- you don’t have much time left. So move on quickly!”

Lillie Saint

“An absolute f***ing slut. I hate this stupid b**ch. She screwed me over far too many times. I want to f***ing destroy her. She is the absolute worst. Ruined my Twitter mentions with her bullsh*t about my man. HOW DARE SHE?! I HATE HER! I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY FOOT ACROSS HER THROAT--”

“Okay okay! It’s Lillie Saint, isn’t it? And dammit there goes my time. You took too long with that one. I only got two… So, we have a winner! Hana Nakajima has won tonight’s gift hamper. She gets an all-expense-paid trip to Amsterdam. I wanted to go there anyway, so it’s a win for me as well. And I get to write it off as a tax-deductible. Either way, congratulations Hana!” Exclaimed Sabertooth as he hands her the gift hamper to a loud round of applause.

Suddenly an alarm goes off in the background as the audience gasps in anticipation.

“Uh oh! It looks like the alarm has gone off! You know what that means. It’s time for the RAPID FIRE OPINIONS! And tonight’s topic is ofcourse, the World Domination Match at Wrestleworld’s upcoming show, War of the Worlds! So, let’s talk. So, tell me about your opinions on the match and the competitors involved. Any favorites? Anybody, you look forward to seeing in that ring?” Asked Sabertooth, looking genuinely curious to what Hana has to say. He crosses his arms and waits patiently as Hana looks confused.

“You… really want me to cut a promo?”

“Basically, yeah.”

“Haven’t we done enough of that already?” She questioned.

“Just do it! We’re not sponsored by Nike, by the way. Take it away!” A spotlight appears over Hana as she hesitantly grabs a microphone.

“Okaaay. So, you already heard about my opinions on Lillie Saint--” Before she could finish, Sabertooth interrupts her as the lights turn back on.

"Babe! You know that I care about you a lot and I do love you. But I think that I really need to get things off my chest. You can have the mic later! What say? Let me just-- yeah, just give me the mic. That’s right! Spotlight on me, please!” Sabertooth demanded as the spotlight now appears over him as the rest of the lights are dimmed.

“So, you may be wondering what the hype was all about? After all, I have just gone and lost every single match in the past couple of weeks. Not many have wasted time calling me a loser. Let’s not forget that I am easily the most recognizable name in this entire lineup. People would be judging the credibility of this bout if it didn’t have names like mine attached to it. You need somebody with name value to bring the eyes upon the show and I do just that. So, all the haters in that locker room doubting me for my past performances-- Don’t forget that you’re getting a fatter paycheck because of me! People may have stopped believing in Christopher Sabertooth but the ticket sales say otherwise. The show ratings say otherwise. There’s a reason this company threw Layne Driver at my face, knowing that he’d get a huge popularity boost by simply being associated with my name. Whether it be through nefarious means or not, Layne Driver is a legitimate contender for the American Dream Championship because of me! His victory over me got him the recognition that he hadn’t gotten in months. So, either I could prove my doubters wrong this Sunday-- Or I could end up making yet another star with an ego bigger than their skill pool. These people may talk a big game, but will then jump on the opportunity of teaming with me so that they continue to get this exposure that my name brings. It’s quite hypocritical of people like Lillie Saint or Crazy Violet, that put on a respectable front, saying that they appreciate what I have done for this business. But then they go against that very notion and disrespect my name. It is hurtful! It truly is! I do not enjoy sharing the locker room with these insensitive people who only see me as an opportunity and not a person. I was not having the best of times over the past couple of months and these people, who claimed to have respected me, were the first to point fingers at my failure and laugh at me. They all laughed! You don’t have to deny it.” He seemed bitter about the response he had gotten over the internet following his return. What was supposed to be a triumphant return of a lost warrior, turned into a laughing stock for the world to see.

“Christopher Sabertooth was having a manic episode on live television, but hey, let’s all make it about Layne Driver or Animus. Let’s put even more stress on the guy who hasn’t been enjoying living life. Yeah, that is definitely not a di*k move. Definitely not! Laugh at the crazy guy and make a mockery out of his legacy. But luckily for them, I have evolved once again. I have seen the errors in my way and decided to embrace the hatred I have been receiving. I have decided to entertain the doubters for it only makes my victory sweeter. Go ahead! Doubt me all you want! Count me out of this match! Tell me why I won’t be winning! Tell me why I am a broken man. Because I frankly do not care what my peers have to say. I will continue trying to be my best self. I will continue living my life-- Because after YEARS I can finally say, Christopher Sabertooth is ALIVE! Do you feel the energy, Hana? I love it! I love being myself again. I love that today is Christmas. I love that today we spend time with our loved ones-- while Wrestleworld has us go to war this Sunday. How fitting of the Christmas spirit! And I’ll be fighting through a batch of heathens with somebody that I love. And together, we will conquer another War. The Shoguns will be victories. We will wave our flag with pride and sing our songs-- For the time of celebration has only begun. In due time, it will be new year’s eve. A new year awaits us. As the most cliched saying goes, new year new me! For once I won’t have to be lying about a resolution I made. This upcoming year HAS to be different. It certainly won’t have a certain demon ruining it for most of us. And what a change it would be, if I could walk out of ARCADIA with a title of my choosing. No disrespect intended towards any of my peers and contemporaries. I just am that much better. I just need this that much more. Imagine putting yourself in my shoes-- Let me see how long you’d last with a Demon controlling your every movement-- every word-- every thought. Let me see which one of you will make it out of it unscathed after it all. Let me see which one of you will have the gall to not step away and keep going forward as nothing has changed. Let me see which one of you will have the tenacity that matches my own after everything that has been stripped away from me. From every connection, I’ve made, to my sanity. Nothing will ever comprehend the pain I had to suffer through to get here. Nothing will ever amount to the struggles that I have faced. Nothing ever will amount to the passion that I have for this business. I am no sucker. I know that things are not looking the best for me. I know that I will probably end up on the losing end once again. But damn it, if I won’t try to the absolute limits of my body. I want this! I NEED THIS! I need a victory to remind me of my old ways. I need a victory to remind myself, more than anybody else, of who I was before it all happened. Before my life changed for the worse. I had a dream, ladies, and gentlemen. I had a dream that I have finally gotten rid of my inner demons. I had a dream that in this world, people would learn to respect and be understanding of each others’ problems. I had a dream that I’d become a champion in Wrestleworld-- And now it’s time to make them into a reality. This is the life I have chosen. This is my career. This is my legacy. Christopher Sabertooth is out for blood. He is out for a challenge. He is out for victory. Whatever happens, I am going to give it my all. I will survive. I will thrive. I will win. That’s a Christopher Sabertooth guarantee. And I don’t say that as a joke-- As it may have become over the past couple of months. I mean it. I will scratch and claw my way into the title picture once again. And I will shoot for the fences-- Because that’s all I know. That’s all I have ever known. Wrestling is in my blood. I breathe it. I eat it. I live in this world entirely for that purpose. I can’t let a couple of naysayers take that away from me. I can’t let the doubt settle in. I can’t let the demon take over yet again. For my own health and safety. For O’Shea. For Hana. I will win. Because I am Christopher Sabertooth. I am the LAST REAL WRESTLER left in this industry. I am the TRUTHSEEKER. I am a pariah amongst my own people-- I have chosen this life. It’s time I act upon it. World Domination. The trophy will be mine.” He said without faltering in his words. His confidence shone through as Christopher Sabertooth has chosen to embark on yet another journey. Yet another rocky pathway-- But he has somebody along with him. To push him to be a better person. Somebody that cares for him. And Sabertooth is never going to let that person down. For he has done enough of that over the years to compensate for it all. This was Christopher Sabertooth’s moment. His chance at redemption. His last hurrah. For a moment, he forgot the bit he was doing and just blankly stared at the camera. Hana Nakajima now joins him by his side, grabbing him by his arm and nodding in approval. She fully supports her man on this journey. Sabertooth had been redeemed. He had been saved by the very man that destroyed him. Havoc had brought back the Sabertooth of the old. And he was here to stay.

“With that, ladies and gentlemen, this show comes to a close. What an entertaining night it has been for everybody involved. I’d like to thank Hana for what she has done for me. And especially for her taking part in my silliness tonight. I thought I’d pay some respect to my old ways as I turn a new leaf towards a better me. The Christopher Sabertooth wouldn’t be a success without the fans and I thank each and every one of you that still believes in me. I will not let you down any longer. Let’s not harken back to the old times-- Let’s cherish what we have now in the present. Appreciate your loved ones. Live your best life for you may never know when it comes to a screeching, unexpected halt. I for one, appreciate being alive. Thank you all and Merry Christmas! See you on Sunday!” Exclaimed Sabertooth as he embraces Hana in a tight hug. The Christmas jingle is played all over the auditorium once again as the people cheer the couple on as they share a kiss. The Christopher Sabertooth show comes to an end as the screen fades to black.
