Dan: When Byron Brady made his return to the AICW, the tension between him and AICW World Champion, The Saint, was already starting to build. The Saint felt that Brady was trying to steal his spotlight, and at AICW's Survival of the Fittest last month, the proverbial waste product finally hit the fan! Dan: The Saint trying to rally back! Wait a minute! Legion coming into the ring! The Knick Man jumps in and clotheslines him down to the canvas! Here comes Brady! The Saint holds up Bane for Byron! Byron with a clothesline! BANE DUCKS, AND BYRON BRADY NAILS THE SAINT! BYRON BRADY NAILED THE SAINT WITH A DEVASTATING CLOTHESLINE!! James Mack: OH, SNAP! I thought they was boyz! Dan: Brady can't believe he nailed his own partner! That was an accident! Ryan Gentle clears Brady and The Knick Man out of the ring, and BOO-YAA! Bane nails The Saint with the Demon's Pit!!! ONE.....TWO..... THREE!!! Andy: THE SAINT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!! Dan: This entire building is in shock! Byron Brady inadvertantly nailed The Saint with a clothesline, and that caused him to be eliminated! The Saint is none too happy with Byron Brady, who is now in the ring going at it with Kyle Bane! The Knick Man telling The Saint to calm down, and now The Saint arguing with Mark McMahon on the outside! Come on! It was an accident! McMahon trying to calm down The Sai... OH NO!! The Saint just gave Mark McMahon the Armageddon!! Dan: Later that night, Byron Brady would win it all--a shot at the Saint's World Title. However, it was the Saint that helped Byron earn the victory! Dan: I don't know James! I don't have the slighest idea! WAIT A MINUTE!!!! HERE COMES THE WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!! The Saint is on his way towards ringside! And he does not look like a happy camper after Byron costed him the match earlier this evening!!! Osmosis doesn't even notice The Saint as he continues to pound away on Brady! Osmosis lifting Byron Brady up again and K-DRILLER!!!!!!! Brady clutching his neck in agony! The Saint arriving at ringside and he's going straight towards the ring attendant! Osmosis still in control as he lifts Brady up and GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! The Saint grabbing the key from the attendant! Osmosis lifting Brady up and GERMAN SUPLEX AGAIN!!! The Saint opening the lock! Osmosis lifting Brady up for the third time and ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!! And here comes The Saint and BOO-YA!!!!! THE ARMAGEDDON!!!!! The Saint nailing Osmosis from behind with the Armageddon! Now he's rolling Osmosis over! The Saint putting Byron Brady on top of Osmosis for the cover...........ONE..........TWO.......... THREE!!!!!!! BYRON BRADY WINS!!!!!!!!!!!! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The winner of this match........BYRON BRADY!!!! Dan: Byron Brady the winner of this match and I don't think this is the way he wanted to win it! But The AICW World Champion obviously wants Byron Brady and now he's going to get him! The Saint doing the sign of a cross over Brady's falling body and now he's making his way to the back! Dan: It wasn't over there, as nearly two weeks later, at the big contract signing, Brady and the Saint professed their hatred for each other and the two had another confrontation! The Saint: Well, if you want it all THAT BAD............come and get it! Dan: Uh-oh! Things getting rather tense here, as AICW officials swarm between Brady and the Saint, along with Argie Otero herself! Tensions are escalating leading into Steel City Meltdown, and things are set to explode! This is one you won't wanna miss, folks! Dan: Then at Monday Night War, these two men finally came to blows! Dan: Brady starting to fight back against Bane!! They're the only two left in the ring! Everyone else brawling on the outside! Christina O and Argie Otero have started to work over Kelly Lynn on the outside as well! Bane keeping the upper hand against Byron in the ring! WAIT A MINUTE!!! Dan: THAT'S THE SAINT!!! Here comes the Saint!! He's going after Bane! I think he wants Brady at his best!! Bane retreating with the Demonweb, but former AICW Commissioner Argie Otero staying behind to take out her frustrations on the new commissioner, Kelly Lynn! Dima: Argie has gone off the deep end! Dan: The Saint has cleared Kyle Bane out of the ring, and now he's face to face with Byron Brady!!! Brady and the Saint, face to face!!! OH MY! The Saint just shoved Brady!! Brady shoves the Saint back! The Saint slaps Brady in the face, and Brady retaliates with a right hand!! We've got a brawl between Brady and The Saint! Mark McMahon grabs Argie from behind!! Argie still working over Kelly Lynn! Kelly reaches into her pocket...SHE'S GOT BRASS KNUCKLES!!! BOO-YAA!!! Kelly Lynn just knocked out Argie Otero! Brady and the Saint continuing to brawl!! Dan: That's where we are fans. It all comes down to this! Let's go to the tale of the tape! Both the Saint and Byron Brady about the same size. The Saint stands 6' 3" tall, while Brady only an inch taller at 6' 4". Brady weighs in at an even 250 pounds, so The Saint with only a bit more weight at 255 pounds. Brady has a slight power advantage over the Saint, who is a little quicker than Brady. This should be a great contest and it'll probably come down to who has more heart. The Saint wants to stay at the top of the AICW, and show that he is the one to lead the AICW through 1998! Meanwhile, Brady knows what it's like to hold the gold, and he really wants to get back up to that plateau! This contest is bound to be one of the greatest of all time! Let's go down to ring announcer, Andy Burton! Andy: Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the AMERICAN INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Dan: Listen to these fans come to their feet! Andy: Introducing first, the special referee for this contest! Making his AICW return, here is Ryan Gentle!!! Dan: The man that Argie so heartlessly fired a few weeks back has been resigned by interim Commissioner Kelly Lynn! ("Iron Man" begins to blare through the sound system. A spotlight focuses at the entry area.) Dan: Wow! Byron Brady's old music is coming through the speakers. I wonder why he has chosen to..... (The camera view switches over to the ring entrance area at the sound of a MONSTROUS audience ovation. Stepping out of the dressing room is Willie Stargell.) Dan: Holy Cow! WILLIE "POPS" STARGELL has just come out of the dressing room and these fans are so explosive I can't hear myself!!! Wait a sec...I see someone else.....(Another thunderous fan ovation.) Is that....YES! TERRY BRADSHAW has come out to join Willie Stargell as "Iron Man" continues to blast through this stadium. Both men are smiling and waving to this capacity crowd of 60,000 plus. Man oh man, these men know what it means to be a champion! Is "Hard Line" Byron Brady sending a message to The Saint? A little psychological warfare before the match begins? WHAT'S THIS...... MARIO LEMEIUX!!! THE TWO TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPION AND ONE OF THE GREATEST HOCKEY STARS OF ALL TIME HAS JOINED STARGELL AND BRADSHAW!!!! This crowd is ELECTRIC RIGHT NOW! ("Iron Man" dies off and is replaced by the beginning notes of "The Great American Nightmare". Another HUGE fan pop! The stadium goes to minimal lighting, and the overhead stadium lights begin to start a strobe effect that looks very eerie.) Andy: Ladies and gentlemen, the challenger! Led to the ring by the Lovely Kelly Lynn, from the STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL CITY of PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA....weighing in at 250 pounds, "HARD LINE" BYRON BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADYYYYYYY!!! Dan: I think we're ready for the challenger's entrance. I see Kelly Lynn coming out of those strobe flashes. WAIT ONE MINUTE!!!!! There is a man accompanying the Lovely Kelly Lynn and it is NOT Byron Brady! Who can it....BOOOO YAAAAH!!!! BRUNO SAMMARTINO IS COMING TO THE RING WITH THE LOVELY KELLY LYNN!!!! "THE LIVING LEGEND" IS BACK!!! So Byron is still parading Pittsburgh champions for these hometown faithful! UNBELIEVEABLE! Only here in AICW, fans! Here comes Brady, and these three great athletes shaking hands with Brady before heading back to the dressing room! Kelly, Bruno and Byron walking down the aisle together! Byron Brady bringing these former Pittsburgh champions out, perhaps sending The Saint a message! Byron himself is a former Pittsburgh champion, and perhaps tonight will be his night to be a champion once again! Dima: Ohhhhhh... Dima should not have had so much vodka... Dan: Get a look at Byron's tee-shirt! That's a painting of St. Jude praying over The Saint! St. Jude is the patron saint of lost and desperate causes, perhaps Byron saying that the Saint is a lost cause! James: Yo...wake me up when it's over.. Dan: Byron steps through the ropes, and grabs the microphone from Andy Burton! "Hard Line" Byron Brady: PIIIIITTTTTTSSSSSSSBURGH!!!!!! (The crowd's noise rises another notch, making it truly deafening. Byron smiles) I don't know that I can describe what it feels like to be moments away from competing on the very field I watched so many Pirate, Steeler and Panther games as a youth.....but let me say it's a DAMN INCREDIBLE FEELING!!! (Kelly Lynn, dressed in a gorgeous black full length dress with gold trim and highlights, smiles and pats Byron's back while applauding him. Byron smiles and points over to Bruno Sammartino who is dressed in a biege sport coat, white dress shirt and brown slacks. Bruno has a smile and is waving at the crowd.) "Hard Line" Byron Brady: Pittsburgh, I doubt that there is anyone in this stadium that doesn't know THIS native son from the `Burgh! He's the man that is responsible for getting me started in this sport...hooking me up with Steel City Wrestling, and teaching me the skills that have brought me to this very point, before all of you here at Steel City Meltdown. (The fans pop huge again. Byron waits for them to quiet before resuming.) I can't come out here and promise you a victory tonight because The Saint is one of the most talented wrestlers in AICW. But....I didn't ask Willie, Terry, Mario and my corner man, Bruno Sammartino, to come out and support me because I felt I was going to lose! I know that religion is a big deal here in Pennsylvania, particularly Pittsburgh.....but tonight FAITH WALKS A HARD LINE! (THUNDEROUS ovation from the fans.) And like Charles Darwin did in the mid-Nineteenth Century, I'm going to make some people stand up and take notice....and maybe think twice about putting their stock into an idea or a man who can't stand the withering HEAT of a STEEL CITY MELTDOWN!!!!! (Byron raises his mic hand high, climbing on a bottom ring rope to fire up the crowd even higher.) Dan: Byron Brady has never been more fired up for a match...EVER! The world champion ready to make his way down the aisle! Andy: And his opponent, led to the ring by Angel....from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 255 pounds, he is the AICW WORLD CHAMPION, here is THE SAINT! Dan: The Saint taking his time in getting to the ring! It's another slow entrance for him, and he is all business! The Saint receiving a surprising ovation! You would think these fans would be 100 percent behind Brady, but I think these fans are 100 percent behind seeing a classic between two of the greatest gladiators our sport has ever seen! Dima: I don't feel so great right now! James: Yeah, my head hurts, yo! Dan: Maybe you two shouldn't have consumed so much alcohol! The Saint steps in the ring, and he's right to his corner, ready for battle! Brady taking off his shirt, and he tosses it to the Saint!!! The Saint not happy, and we've got a staredown in the center of the ring! These two men standing face to face!! The tension at Three Rivers is so thick you could cut it with knife! Referee Ryan Gentle calls for the bell. Dan: You can still hear the ringing of the bell taper off as an eerie silence hangs over this crowd, which has all eyes focused on these two men! James: Yo, I see like four of 'em! Dan: This crowd explodes as The Saint shoves Brady backwards! Brady retaliates with a shove of his own, and now the Saint runs into the ropes! Brady puts him down with a shoulderblock before hitting the ropes as well! Saint up, and now he puts Brady down with a shoulderblock of his own! Saint again to the ropes, and now Brady with a back bodydrop! Saint pops right back up, and he charges Brady! Brady misses with a clothesline, and the Saint takes him down from behind with a nice drop toehold! The Saint drops an elbow, but nobody home! The Saint again pops up and Byron to the ropes. The Saint with a leapfrog over Brady! Brady back again and he ducks under a clothesline!! Brady back again, and the Saint with a back body drop! Saint pulls Brady up and whips him to the ropes! Reversed by Brady and he nails the Saint with a hiptoss before slapping on a chinlock!! Great action in the ring thus far! Dima: Yes mother Yeltsin, I would like to go to moon... James: DAMN! All that moving around is making me dizzy! Dan: The Saint coming to his feet, Brady still holding on. The Saint with a series of elbows to the midsection, breaks the hold! The Saint now goes to the ropes, he comes back, and Brady catches him with a big clothesline! Brady pulls the Saint up, and he nails him with a right hand to the midsection! Brady grabs the Saint by the waist...BOO-YAA! Well-executed gutwrench suplex! There's a cover by Brady! ONE.....NO! The Saint kicks out with authority! Brady pulls The Saint up and he's setting him up for another suplex! He picks him up...BOO-YAA!! Slingshot suplex this time by Brady! Textbook! Another cover! ONE.....TWO.....NO! Brady not going to waste any potential opportunities! Brady again picks up the Saint, and this time he sets him up for a piledriver!!! Brady jumps in the air and drives the Saint down hard!! It's been all Brady thus far, and he goes for another cover! ONE.....TWO.....THR..NO! That was close! Brady is definitely wearing down the Saint! Dima: Dima worn out...tuck me in. James: Yo, you trippin! Dan: Brady picks up The Saint and he hoists him up on his back! Brady perhaps going for a Death Valley Driver! He goes for it...OH MY! The Saint turns it into a crucifix!!! ONE.....TWO..... NO! That one caught Brady by surprise! Both men pop back up to their feet. Brady whips the Saint to the ropes and he picks him up with a tilt-a-whirl...BOO-YAA!!! The Saint turns it into a frankensteiner!! What a move!! That one came out of nowhere! James: YO, I'm BLIND!! I CAN'T SEE, YO!!! Dima: Your eyes are closed! James: OH SNAP! Dan: The Saint now in control of this one, and he hops up to the second buckle! BOO-YAA! The Saint with an elbowdrop off the second buckle! He's now setting up Brady. The Saint again going to the top, perhaps looking to hit a moonsault! He goes for it...BOO-YAA!!! Right on the money! Cover by the Saint! ONE.....TWO.....NO! Brady kicks out! What a competitive match this is so far! The Saint again going up to the top! He's taking a lot of high-risk moves so far! The Saint leaps off with a legdrop!! NOBODY HOME! The Saint went to the well one too many times! He's down, and Brady slowly coming to his feet! Byron pulls the Saint up, and he whips him to the ropes! The Saint back, and BOO-YAA! Brady with a spinebuster!! Another cover by Brady! ONE.....TWO.....NO! The Saint able to kick out! Brady setting up the Saint, and he applies a bow and arrow submission! Great move by Brady! He's trying to get a submission out of The Saint! Although I don't think The Saint is going to give up his title like that! Dima: He is STRONG like the bull! Dan: Byron releases the hold, but he pulls the Saint right to his feet! Brady with an Irish whip, and he takes the Saint down with a flying clothesline! Brady with the cover, but the Saint kicks out before referee Ryan Gentle makes the count! Brady with another whip to the ropes, and BOO-YAA!! He connects with a Doctor bomb! ONE.....TWO.....
