Shane Starr has really grown into a force in the Keystone State Wrestling Alliance. Although the Megastar is still quite young, he has been a staple in the promotion for about seven years. In fact, he has come a long way since he, Kris Kash and La Lucha were defeated by Ali Kaida, Biker Al and “The Drunken Luchadore” Joey Quervo in his first significant Millvale Days match on September 17, 2005. Primarily a tag team wrestler throughout his career, Starr has recently branched out in the single’s ranks. In fact, his Junior Heavyweight Championship win at last year’s FanFest was his first single’s title. He lost that belt and it was re-branded the 5-Star Championship. But now, he has garnered the KSWA’s “Number Two” most significant single’s championship in a stunning match over the Blood Beast.

In addition to that, Jay Flash gave KSWA Heavyweight Champion Lou Martin a run for his money, and the Mercenaries once again took on Party Gras.
