We're only a couple of weeks away from AAW's Windy City Classic VI and as the big event approaches we will be taking a closer look at the card. We'll start today with the big grudge match that will take place in the main event.


SIX MAN BERWYN STREET FIGHT


VS


It was one year ago at the Windy City Classic where Silas Young aligned himself with the Irish Airborne and shocked AAW by defeating Jimmy Jacobs for the AAW Heavyweight Title. In the last twelve months Young has defended the belt against the finest AAW has had to offer and is on track to break Jerry Lynn's record 419 day championship reign. Silas and the brothers Crist have made no shortage of enemies in this time span often creating controversy as they have kept the belt around Young's waist by any means necessary. This match is not about the belt however. The three men across the ring have put their desire for the championship on hold. On November 27th these three men are out for blood.

The team on the other side are certainly no strangers to one another. In fact Jimmy Jacobs, Dan Lawrence and Ryan Boz have all had issues with each other over the years in AAW and they have all drawn each others blood. This has now caused a bond between them. A bond of respect and a common hatred for their opponents. Jacobs has been looking forward to revenge for almost a year. Just last month he had the title within his grasp when the Irish Airborne returned from suspension and cost him his rematch with Silas. Dan Lawrence knows how he feels. DL took Silas Young to the limit on two occasions earlier this year only to come up short. Lawrence is this longest standing member of the AAW roster and rides an impressive win streak into this match. At the Windy City Classic they team with the veteran Ryan Boz. His issues with Silas Young began months back when Young violently attacked him just for mentioning he wanted to challenge for the title before walking away from the business.

Now all six men will meet in an anything goes, come as you are street fight. The Windy City Classic has produced some of the wildest matches in the companies history and this year promises to be no different. Knowing what these men are capable of it is safe to say this match will not be for the weak at heart.
