In the 10 years in which the Keystone State Wrestling Alliance (KSWA) has crossed the river from Pittsburgh and Lawrenceville to the neighbor to the north—Millvale—the fans there have been extremely receptive. Much like the past weekend, the Millvale Days free event has traditionally been the highest attended professional wrestling event in western Pennsylvania. Professional photographers have routinely descended upon the KSWA at Millvale Days for exciting pictures and unforgettable moments. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has been recognized for a KSWA event photo taken at Millvale Days, and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has showcased the organization with a full-page spread. In that very first year in which the KSWA attended, WPXI-TV cameras were there, capturing the action.

The KSWA in Millvale is an event.

Saturday’s “King of the Hill” Battle Royal has been a launching pad to stardom. In the first over-the-top-rope match, Del Douglas entered “The Blue Chipper” and exited the “King of Millvale.” Since that day, he has given back to his community, not in leadership or financial means, but an unwavering egotism that has led to untold thousands of fans shouting “Burger King,” “Dairy Queen” and “Have It Your Way,” for a generation.

But even the “King” is not victorious all of the time.
