Sometimes at fundraisers, wrestlers can make an impression that goes a long way with executives, such as the Keystone State Wrestling Alliance (KSWA) Championship Committee. Although events such as these can provide a less-intense atmosphere for some, it can also springboard athletes skyward in the eyes of those making championship matches.

It is also advantageous for wrestlers like Jack Massacre to do well in the first-ever St. Raphael’s Battle Royal. Since losing the KSWA tag team championship, Massacre has been without “Big” Mike Malachi, so it was important for the 7-footer to stay relevant with the Championship Committee. He took that motivation into Saturday night.

Meanwhile, “King” Del Douglas tried to wrestle away Mitch Napier’s 5-Star Championship, and former KSWA World Champion Shane Starr was thrown into a difficult match at the last minute due to a sudden sickness that fell Kris Kash.
