When Shawn Blanchard defeated Bobby O for ownership of the Keystone State Wrestling Alliance (KSWA) some thought that might be the end for one of the city’s most prestigious sports franchise owners. Still a wealthy man despite the unfortunate loss, Bobby O has spent the summer representing the KSWA on behalf of PACC, Millvale Days and most recently the KSWA Championship Committee. He has traveled to Egypt, the Holy Land, and an owner’s suite at new Busch Stadium in St. Louis. He was on the “short list” of important Pittsburgh celebrities slotted to throw out the “ceremonial” first pitch had the Pirates continued on their MLB baseball playoff run. But at Autumn Annihilation, the most successful Pittsburgh professional wrestling owner in nearly 40 years made his triumphant return to the KSWA Arena and with big news.

The event also signified the return of a Megastar who toiled in the early days of the KSWA and carved his own legacy, only to be marred by injury. “Mr. Puniverse” Bob Atlas once again strutted his way inside the Arena.

But first there was other action in the October Classic.

Jonny Axx v. Joey Quervo

Before action begins, Jonny Axx grabs the microphone and acknowledges Bobby Badfingers, who has been calling himself the “Baddest Man in the Company.” Axx says that he nothing “personal” against Joey, but he was going to take him out in convincing fashion. Quervo comes out, takes a new brew and settles into the corner. Joey takes a swig and places the beer near his corner. The bell rings and Axx takes complete control, hip tossing the Luchadore to the mat. Referee Justin Smith counts two as Axx goes for a quick pin. A lightning-quick suplex snaps Quervo, only for a two count. Axx posts Quervo in the Tree of Woe, drops a leg and then splashes him. Quervo is situated in the center of the ring and Axx hits a cannonball from the top rope and scores the significant victory in less than two minutes.

King and Jester v. Flash/Johnson

The King and Jester arrive in loud, incredible fashion. That response is only second to the ruckus ovation for Jay Flash and “The Ice Man” Tony Johnson. The Krazies scream like a soccer crowd for Jay Flash. Del Douglas violently jumps up and town in disgust. The bell rings and The Jester shakes his buttocks to the crowd. They moan and shudder in disbelief. The Jester and Johnson lock up but Flash is immediately tagged in. Some punches are laid in and Johnson is tagged back in.

He gets Jester up but the clown-inspired villain puts a knee into Flash’s gut. He follows up with a barrage of boots. He gets a two-count on Flash. The Krazies chant for Flash. Jester muscles him into the corner. Flash reverses the move and then Jester does it to Flash. Flash suplexes Jester and both men are down and spent. At the seven count, the other Megastars are tagged in. Johnson is on fire, leveling both opponents. Johnson gets Douglas down. The Jester gets up and throws Johnson out. Jester punches Flash as he prepares for the cannonball on the top rope. Jester gets Flash down but Smith won’t count as Jester isn’t the legal man. Irritated, Douglas goes to hit an opponent but punches The Jester by accident. Johnson drop kicks Douglas down and gets the hard-fought win in under 10 minutes. The Krazies explode in excitement.

El Skeletorios v. Bobby Badfingers

El Skeletorious, a cousin of La Lucha and International superstar, dances his way to the ring to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The 17-time Mexican Champion doesn’t get settled in the ring when Bobby Badfingers charges in from behind and starts clubbing. El Skeletorious, awash in a sea of spilled candy he originally brought to the ring, is picked up, bodyslamed, side-slammed and pummelled. The Mexican import gets a little bit of offense in, but “The Baddest Man in the KSWA” slams him in the middle of the ring and scores the win. Afterwards, referee Justin Smith drags a nearly unresponsive El Skeletorious to the locker room.
