by Trapper Tom, Ring Announcer June 8, 2009 What looks like the final chapter of the International Thugs was written, KSWA Champion Anthony Alexander made his presence felt and the Tag Champions held on after a grueling challenge from former champions all took place in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the home of professional wrestling in Pittsburgh, the Lawrenceville Moose! Joey Quervo v. Del Douglas Joey Quervo comes out to a ruckus crowd, and then is followed by the King Del Douglas. Douglas is persnickety about giving his robe to the referee, then to ringside attendant. King immediately gets a start on the Drunken Luchadore. He goes for a quick pin, but Joey isn’t that much out of it. King follows up with a slam then a fist from the top rope. Joey rolls on the mat in pain. The King ties Joey to the "Tree of Woe," and then baseball slides into Quervo’s face. A two-count quickly follows. The King continues with the offense and leaves Joey in a heap. Quervo reverses a whip into the corner, and then follows through with a couple of chops then a quick suplex. Quervo slaps him in the back. Joey attempts a quick pin, but Douglas kicks out. Quervo kicks him to the outside. Douglas slowly gets up as referee Jimmy James administers a 10 count. Joey chase him back in and gets a boot to the mush for his trouble. Douglas hits an elbow. Joey recovers and attacks with a series of chops. Joey DDT’s his opponent. Quervo goes for a splash, misses and Douglas easily sets him up for a “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” He gets the pin for the win. After the match, Douglas taunts the crowd while Jimmy James helps Quervo back to the locker room. KSWA Owner Bobby O Introduces New Megastar KSWA Owner Bobby O comes out to introduce the newest member of the KSWA Locker Room, Mitch Napier. Napier is a collegiate standout from Iowa. Napier gets into the ring and talks about being excited to be in the KSWA, and is ready for all comers. That brings out VIP leader and 4-time former KSWA Champ Shawn Blanchard. Blanchard verbally challenges Napier before blind-siding him with a kick to the gut. Blanchard gets in more offense before Napier reverses a whip into the corner. Napier even bodyslams the veteran. Blanchard bails, gets a chair and is about to waffle Napier when Bobby O tells him to stop the assault. Anthony Alexander and Ric Rumsky make the save and Blanchard bails until later in the evening. Triple Threat Match for the Golden Triangle Championship: Kash, Toyota, Starr The Triple Threat match for the Golden Triangle Championship is next. Great Toyota, Shane Starr and new champ Kris Kash makes his way to the ring. The three take turns with offense.

All three gets offensive maneuvers in on their opponents. At one point, Kash even helps Toyota administer more productive chops. The Kash uses that knowledge on Toyota. As the action in and out of the ring is quick, Kash is able to hit and pin Starr for the victory.
