Well, I guess the idea of this feud is that Mike Knox wants to be a pain to someone on the ECW roster he can actually defeat, to launch his career further. The idea here should be Stevie proving that he's not going to be Knox's bitch without a fight.

First Match: Stevie Richards manages to pin Mike Knox with the Stevie-T, because Knox is being overconfident.

Knox is pissed off, and attacks Richards more and more. This leads to another match where Knox does not let-up, but Richards forces his own opening and rolls up Knox for a three count. Knox just didn't end it quick enough.

Backstage, Richards thanks Knox for awakening this fire in him. Richards says he hasn't felt this involved in his work in years. Richards begins playing mind games with Mike Knox, for example, asking Kelly Kelly out on a date. Knox's ex-girlfriend agrees (passing mention is made that her relationship with Balls Mahoney did not work out). Richards has the girl, and the wins, and that pisses Knox off.

During their next match, Richards gets his third win over Knox, when Knox levels Stevie with a steel chair, getting disqualified in the process. Knox beats down Stevie some more, Kelly Kelly throws herself in the way, and gets beaten down, too. Knox just turns super asshole. Balls Mahoney runs out for the save, though, and clears the ring of Knox. Balls deserves at least an appearance in an angle involving Kelly Kelly.

Mike Knox faces Balls Mahoney the next week, and beats Mahoney soundly, with a new finishing move. Mike Knox tells Stevie that when he returns, that is what he will be taking in the middle of the ring. Mike Knox faces someone on SmackDown! that week, in a squash match. Knox pins them with the same finishing move. ECW the next week sees Knox try and bust it out again in a match with Nunzio, but Richards is back, and distracts Knox, which allows Nunzio the upset victory.

So Richards and Knox have another match set, this time at PPV in Extreme Rules. Knox gets his win back against Nunzio, pinning him with the new move. Maybe put the match in a Steel Cage, which seems like a big stipulation, but it would keep Stevie out, and allow Knox to dismantle Nunzio.

The PPV match sees Knox attack Richards from behind to kick start the match. That advantages is what Knox needs to close the gap between him and Richards, and Knox picks up the win with his finishing move. Knox does not leave things here, though. He beats down Stevie a bit more, with some ECW faces like Tommy Dreamer, Colin Delaney and a battered Nunzio running down for the save.

ECW seems Stevie Richards team up with Tommy Dreamer, Colin Delaney and Nunzio in an eight-man tag team match, which sees Knox, John Morrison, The Miz and Elijah Burke as opponents. Knox is on the winning team. Mike Knox now has all the confidence he needs, and goes crawling back to Kelly Kelly, and asks her to forgive him. Kelly is a face, but she leaves Stevie and gives Knox another chance.

So now Stevie Richards is the underdog hero trying to get the girl back, and prove that he can defeat the now adjusted Knox. Eventually Richards does get a big win over Mike Knox, with the Stevie-T again, and Richards celebrates with Kelly Kelly, who is impressed. Kelly then low blows Stevie, which allows Knox to hit his finishing move, and beat-down Stevie.

The final stretch of the feud sees Stevie looking for revenge on both Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly. So the story really has three arcs: Stevie Richards is the more experienced of the two, beats Knox constantly, and gets the girl; Knox gets an edge to him, steals the girl, as Stevie chases; the girl shows her true colors, and Stevie wants to get revenge on both of them.

It's pretty awful, but I am fairly hung over right now.
