When illness befell The Latin Assassin, a tag team match was altered to a Triple Threat Match for the Keystone State Wrestling Association’s Golden Triangle Championship. The GT belt as it’s sometimes called, is the second-most prestigious single’s belt in Pittsburgh, behind only the KSWA Heavyweight title, in terms of tradition. But the South Beach Soldier trooped on and defended against two top-shelf adversaries. Unfortunately, the number’s game was not in Flash’s favor at KSWA “Unsanctioned.” WWF/WWE legend Bushwacker Luke partnered with Party Gras to take on Shawn Blanchard, The Jester and “The King” Del Douglas in a memorable match (especially for Douglas), and Diamond Dave survived one of the organization’s wildest match’s against one of the KSWA’s most unstoppable Megastars.
