The match was advertised as one for the ages: the legendary Lord Zoltan, one of the last active wrestlers who can say they wrestled with Andre the Giant, has never held the Keystone State’s most important wrestling title. He had won several regional belts, but he never held anything as significant as the KSWA strap. In fact, he never had a one-on-one opportunity to win it. That all changed with a grandiose, over-the-top match that literally had everyone in attendance wondering: “what is going to happen next?”

But first there were other matches at the fundraiser for the PA Connecting Communities organization. And oh yea, Pro Wrestling Hall of Famer and KSWA Hall of Fame member Dominic DeNucci just stopped by to cheer on Zoltan and visit with his friends in the organization. The fans ate up the fact that he was there.
