The Keystone State Wrestling Alliance (KSWA) returned to Millvale Community Days for the 11th year and the battle of the biggest men in Independent wrestling continued to wage an even more furious battle. Jay Flash was successful in his first title defense, Shane Starr kept his “Highness” at bay, and Ice Machine looked good borrowing Tony Johnson’s Ice kick for another victory.
