CHAPTER ONE – HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Victory Pro Wrestling began in 2005 in an Amityville warehouse with a small training program and a vision: to build the future stars of professional wrestling.
In 2006, we held our first live event at VFW Post 4927 in Centereach. A few years later, we expanded to the Deer Park Community Center, a venue rich in wrestling history that hosted promotions like Ring of Honor, Evolve, and Dragon Gate. Our training camp also relocated to Deer Park, with international superstar Ricky Reyes joining as head trainer.
We have the distinct honor of hosting the last sanctioned professional wrestling event in Deer Park before parting ways with the community center at the end of 2014. We continued to perform in Centereach in front of standing room only audiences.
CHAPTER TWO – THE BLACK ROSE ERA
In 2018, new ownership took over Victory Pro Wrestling.
The dawning of the VPW originals started with VSK, Kris Statlander, and Dorian Graves departing in 2018.
This gave way to a new era that led to the introductions to Jack Tomlinson, Bryce Donovan, The Even Stevens, Mike Anthony, and Coach Mammone.
With momentum starting to shift upwards, the world shut down.
CHAPTER THREE – THE PANDEMIC ERA
The world shut down due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in March 2020.
During the pandemic, the VFW post in Centereach sold its building and moved to a smaller facility in Port Jefferson Station.
VPW also saw a new owner, former ring announcer John E Radioo.
CHAPTER FOUR – THE RETURN OF WRESTLING
In July of 2021, Victory Pro Wrestling returned to action in a new home. Victory Pro Wrestling launched the post-pandemic era with VPW Homecoming in front of an energized crowd at the Sports Arena in St. James.
At the end of 2022, we moved into our new home at Pro Game Athletics in Bay Shore—just minutes from the heart of Bay Shore and Islip, the Westfield South Shore Mall, and the Bay Shore Marina.
In 2026, we celebrated two major milestones – our 200th live event and our 20th anniversary.
We have celebrated hundreds of birthdays with our fans, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities, and continue to deliver high-energy, family-friendly entertainment to the VPW faithful.
VPW ON THE ROAD
Victory Pro Wrestling has a rich legacy in Long Island professional wrestling, performing in Centereach, Deer Park, Babylon, North Babylon, West Babylon, Islip, Bohemia Ronkonkoma, Uniondale, Brooklyn, and Queens.
But in 2022, we made history by crossing state lines for the first time, performing in Portland, Connecticut, for a fundraising event in partnership with the Town of Portland and the American Cancer Society.
In 2025, VPW made its Yonkers debut, in honor of a professional wrestler Juan Jeremy, a former VPW star who passed away in Japan in 2024.
In 2026, VPW crossed state lines again. The first was a live event in Springfield, Massachusetts. The second was Orcamania in Freehold, New Jersey.
New York. New Jersey. Connecticut. Massachusetts. What’s next for Victory Pro Wrestling?
