Black Diamond def. Ken Powers

Black Diamond opened Riverfront Rumble 5 against The Next Level Ken Powers in a fight that quickly became impossible to contain. The two competitors battled inside and outside the ring area, turning the opening contest into a chaotic brawl.

Black Diamond continued to show the unpredictable aggression that has made him one of VPW’s most dangerous competitors. Powers attempted to match his intensity, but Black Diamond ultimately scored the victory.

The message from Black Diamond was clear from the opening bell: He may have been compared to Alvin Alvarez, but he intends to establish an identity all his own.

EWA-Maine Women’s Championship

Champion Kalypto def. Kayla Lopez by submission

The Monster Kalypto arrived in Portland with more than one championship on her mind. Before the match, Kalypto called out VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey, claiming VPW is holding Kalypto back from what she believes belongs to her.

Kalypto said she would not wait for VPW to give her an opportunity, instead traveling to Maine and winning the EWA-Maine Women’s Championship.

Making her VPW debut, the Bombshell Beauty Kayla Lopez pushed Kalypto to her limit. Lopez showed tremendous fight and gave the champion a competitive battle, but Kalypto’s dark and relentless offense eventually overwhelmed her.

Kalypto forced Lopez to submit, then made it clear that her sights remain firmly set on Amity LaVey and the VPW Women’s Championship.

VPW New York State Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match

Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt def. Georgio Lawrence and Brooklyn Outlaw Donovan

The New York State Championship picture exploded before a match even began. Champion David Graham entered with Manager of Champions Silk E Smooth and immediately insulted the Connecticut crowd, declaring that the fans did not deserve to see him compete.

After giving the audience a 15-second pose for photos, Graham prepared to leave for New York. Brooklyn Outlaw Donovan interrupted, declaring that Graham possesses something he wants: the New York State Championship.

The Specialist Georgio Lawrence soon entered the fray, arguing that Donovan should not be the next challenger. Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt followed and demanded his own opportunity. Graham then agreed to put the three challengers against one another, with the winner earning a championship opportunity later that night.

Donovan’s street-fight mentality, Lawrence’s kickboxing skills and Heartfelt’s high-octane offense produced a wild three-way battle. When the dust settled, Heartfelt earned the right to face Graham in the night’s closed challenge.

ABBS def. Vincent Michaels

Vincent Michaels came out firing against ABBS, attacking the Son of Wrestling following a pose-off and immediately establishing the pace of the match.

Michaels’ early assault gave him an advantage, but ABBS weathered the opening storm and eventually took control. The momentum shifted several times as Michaels fought back and appeared poised to steal the victory.

ABBS changed the pace at a critical moment and regained control before putting Michaels away to score the win.

Wrecking Ball Legursky def. Rex Lawless

The 2026 Gold Rush Rumble winner Rex Lawless was looking for another major victory, but he had a massive obstacle standing across the ring. Making his VPW debut, the 400-pound Wrecking Ball Legursky arrived ready to turn Lawless’ night into a fight for survival.

The battle quickly spilled outside the ring and into the crowd, where Legursky’s size and power gave him the advantage. Lawless eventually found an opening and used his new-found deviousness to change the momentum.

Legursky repeatedly attempted to put Lawless away, but the Pectoral Poseidon escaped the ring whenever the opportunity presented itself. Eventually, Lawless ran out of places to hide.

Legursky caught him with a devastating Wrecking Ball Smash in the corner, ending the contest and handing Lawless a major defeat.

Franco Costanzo def. Sgt. Axel Ramos

The Last Bronx Italian Franco Costanzo and Sgt. Axel Ramos wasted little time establishing the tone of their encounter. Both competitors came prepared for a physical fight and traded momentum throughout the contest.

Neither man was able to maintain control for long as the action moved back and forth. Ramos continued pressing forward, but Costanzo answered each challenge and eventually found the opening he needed.

Costanzo scored the victory in a hard-fought contest.

Security Inc. def. The Vetrano Brothers

The Vetrano Brothers made their VPW debut against Security Inc., but Officer Ronald Moses had business to handle before the opening bell. Moses declared that Security Inc. represented law and order in Victory Pro Wrestling and promised the Vetrano Brothers that justice would be served.

Mook and Shook answered with an impressive debut, matching Security Inc. with power and energy. The newcomers appeared capable of pulling off the upset, but Moses and Murray repeatedly used distractions and underhanded tactics to disrupt their opponents.

Those tactics ultimately made the difference. Security Inc. took advantage of the chaos and scored the victory, spoiling the Vetrano Brothers’ first VPW appearance.

VPW New York State Closed Challenge

New York State Champion David Graham def. Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt

The rules were simple: If Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt defeats David Graham, he would earn the New York State Championship. Graham, however, entered the closed challenge determined to prove that nobody was worthy of challenging for his title.

Heartfelt attacked with urgency, looking to end the contest before Graham could settle into his methodical style. The champion eventually slowed the pace and relied on Silk E Smooth, who continued directing traffic and creating distractions from ringside.

The interference became too much for referee Jason Fineburg, who ejected Silk E Smooth from ringside. With his manager gone, Graham was forced to fend for himself.

Heartfelt continued fighting, but Graham found another opening and delivered a critical blow that appeared to end the contest. Heartfelt kicked out at two.

The action continued into the corner, where the referee was nearly caught between the competitors. With Fineburg distracted, Graham delivered a low blow before rolling up Heartfelt and securing the three-count.

Graham retained the championship and escaped his own closed challenge, while Heartfelt was denied the title opportunity he had fought to earn.

Now the attention is focused on VPW’s next event, Haunted Ground.

• What’s in store for Kalypto – will she get her title opportunity?
• Who is next for David Graham’s closed challenge for the New York State Championship?
• Who will step up to Anthony Gangone and the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship?
• And with a vacancy in the tag team division, what will VPW do to crown new tag team champions?

Saturday, Aug. 8, at Pro Game Sports in Bay Shore

The road to the Gold Rush Rumble culminated with a night of rivalries, championship implications and a main event built around 20 competitors fighting for an opportunity at any active VPW championship of their choice. Before the Rumble took center stage, Azure’s Playhouse brought an unusual set of rules and an even more unpredictable environment, while Adam Kirkland and Officer Ronald Moses renewed a rivalry nearly four years in the making.

Azure Def. Steve Somerset in “Azure’s Playhouse”

Before the first contest, VPW Owner John E Radioo explained the unique rules governing Azure’s Playhouse. The unsanctioned match featured no disqualifications, no countouts and no rope breaks. The only ways to win were by pinfall or submission. The setting was unlike anything typically seen in Victory Pro Wrestling. The ring was surrounded by children’s toys, slides and a kid’s wading pool filled with plastic balls.

The match quickly became as chaotic as its surroundings. Azure controlled the pace early, but Somerset eventually turned the momentum in his favor and appeared to be closing in on victory. Azure’s acolytes then rushed to the ring to aid their leader, changing the complexion of the contest once again.

With the match spiraling into further chaos, Azure regained control and secured the victory in one of the most unusual contests in VPW history.

Journey Burke Esq. Def. Big Daddy Adrianna

Journey Burke Esq. and Big Daddy Adrianna delivered a competitive contest with important implications for the VPW women’s division. Adrianna showcased the power and dominance that have made her one of the more formidable performers in the Northeast. Burke countered with determination and found ways to withstand Adrianna’s offense during a back-and-forth battle.

Despite Adrianna’s strength and experience, Burke ultimately secured the victory, giving herself another reason to demand consideration in the women’s division.

Following the match, Officer Ronald Moses made his way to the ring and had a brief conversation with Burke. The two eventually left the ringside area together, adding another layer of intrigue to an already eventful night.

VPW Tag Team Championship Vacated

VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton entered the ring and brought Adam Kirkland with him to address the ongoing situation involving Committed to Excellence. Skyler Mack had yet to be medically cleared to compete in New York, leaving the VPW Tag Team Championship team unable to defend the titles. Fulton subsequently stripped Committed to Excellence of the championships.

Officer Ronald Moses then entered the ring and thanked Fulton, appearing prepared to accept the championships on behalf of Security Inc. Fulton quickly reminded Moses that the titles could not simply be handed to another team, even if they were the former champions.

With Moses and Kirkland standing in the ring together, Fulton made the decision to settle the matter in the ring, sanctioning a singles match between the two rivals.

Adam Kirkland Def. Officer Ronald Moses by Disqualification

The rivalry between Adam Kirkland and Officer Ronald Moses dates back nearly four years in Victory Pro Wrestling, and the latest chapter quickly became one of the night’s most physical encounters.

Kirkland and Moses battled throughout the building, taking the fight outside the ring before returning to continue the confrontation. Neither man appeared willing to give the other an inch.

The situation escalated when Journey Burke returned to ringside and pepper-sprayed Kirkland, giving Moses an opening. Moses capitalized by unleashing a sustained attack on Kirkland, eventually busting him open.

The officials intervened and the match ended by disqualification, awarding the victory to Kirkland. The result did little to settle the rivalry. Kirkland was left bloodied and required assistance from officials as he was taken to the back for medical attention.

The Gold Rush Rumble

Twenty competitors entered the Gold Rush Rumble, with the winner earning the right to call their shot for any VPW championship. The only way to lose was to be thrown over the top rope and land on the floor.

VPW announced earlier in the day that evil kip would draw number 1. Mike Anthony entered at number 2.

Mike Anthony and evil kip would battle before being followed by Unicorn Party at number 3, Ronald Moses at number 4, Jackson Crowe at number 5 and Yoscifer at number 6. Yoscifer immediately made an impact, eliminating Crowe before the arrival of Monster Kalypto at number 7. With Yoscifer becoming a target, the other competitors briefly joined forces in an attempt to eliminate him.

Franco Costanzo entered at number 8, followed by Tiny Giant at number 9 and Dylon Woodward at number 10. Unicorn Party eliminated Moses, while Woodward later eliminated Costanzo.

Journey Burke entered at number 11 and formed an alliance with Kalypto. Dr. Ethan Wilde entered at number 12, but his stay was short-lived as Kalypto eliminated him.

JGeorge entered at number 13. Kalypto choked Unicorn Party before eliminating him. At number 14, Silk E Smooth was announced for the match, but David Graham instead emerged from the crowd to enter the Rumble. Big Daddy Adrianna entered at number 15 and was eliminated by evil kip. Graham then eliminated Journey Burke.

El Terrifico entered at number 16, followed by Rex Lawless at number 17. Lawless and Yoscifer immediately squared off. ABBS entered at number 18, but Rex and Yoscifer quickly dismissed him to focus on each other again. Black Diamond entered at number 19, drawing attention because of his resemblance to Alvin Alvarez, who had been banned from the Rumble. Mister Tibbs entered at number 20, completing the field.

Tibbs then eliminated ABBS. Yoscifer eliminated both El Terrifico and Tiny Giant before Black Diamond finally eliminated Yoscifer. Tibbs nearly eliminated Woodward, but Mike Anthony intervened. Woodward was eventually eliminated by Anthony.

Kalypto eliminated JGeorge, but Lawless immediately turned his attention to Kalypto and eliminated her. Tibbs repeatedly tried to eliminate Graham, but Silk E Smooth kept catching Graham before he could hit the floor. After two failed attempts, Tibbs finally eliminated Graham.

The match then took a chaotic turn. Anthony attempted to eliminate Tibbs when Woodward returned to the ring. Woodward, no longer an active competitor, sought revenge for his elimination and helped send Anthony over the top rope. Anthony and Woodward then fought toward the back as officials attempted to separate them.

While officials focused on the confrontation at ringside, Black Diamond eliminated Lawless. Lawless, however, returned to the ring before officials recognized what had happened. With attention back on the Rumble, Lawless eliminated Black Diamond. Diamond protested, arguing that Lawless had already been eliminated, but none of the officials saw the elimination.

The final stretch featured Tibbs, Lawless and evil kip. Tibbs superkicked kip, prompting kip to re-enter the fight and wear down Tibbs. Tibbs attempted to eliminate kip, but kip reversed the situation and tried to eliminate Tibbs instead.

Lawless attempted to kick kip out, but his kick struck Tibbs instead. Kip capitalized, dumping Tibbs over the top rope and leaving only kip and Lawless.

Kip tried to knock Lawless off the apron, but Lawless caught him and pulled him toward the outside of the ropes. Both men fought while perched on the side apron, trading blows with the victory within reach. Lawless finally caught kip and delivered a chokeslam from the apron to ringside.

Winner of the 2026 Gold Rush Rumble: Rex Lawless

With kip eliminated, Rex Lawless was declared the winner of the 2026 Gold Rush Rumble. Lawless now has the right to call his shot for any active VPW championship of his choosing.

Winner: Rex Lawless

Entrants: evil kip, Mike Anthony, Unicorn Party, Ronald Moses, Jackson Crowe, Yoscifer, Monster Kalypto, Franco Costanzo, Tiny Giant, Dylon Woodward, Journey Burke, Dr. Ethan Wilde, JGeorge, David Graham, Big Daddy Adrianna, El Terrifico, Rex Lawless, ABBS, Black Diamond and Mister Tibbs.

Victor Pro Wrestling Championship
Champion Anthony Gangone Def. Prince Ahmed

Anthony Gangone survived a punishing championship challenge from Prince Ahmed to retain the VPW Championship in the Gold Rush Rumble main event.

Gangone started fast, but a slip through the ropes allowed Ahmed to seize control. The challenger took the fight outside the ring and methodically wore down the champion before turning to a series of submission holds. Gangone rallied, determined to protect the championship after his major victory in Riverhead one week earlier.

Both wrestlers traded submission attempts as the action spilled outside the ring again. Referee Emi was knocked unconscious during the chaos, leaving the match without an official. Ahmed seized the opportunity and used the championship belt to knock out Gangone. When Emi regained consciousness, she returned to the ring and counted three, but Gangone kicked out just before the final count.

Gangone immediately turned the momentum, applying a sharpshooter before twisting Ahmed and driving his fingers into the challenger’s mandible. Ahmed submitted, allowing Gangone to retain the championship.

The celebration was short-lived. Black Diamond attacked Gangone before Gold Rush Rumble winner Rex Lawless rushed to the ring. After Black Diamond left, Lawless handed the championship to Gangone, then attacked the champion, leaving Gangone down as officials rushed to his aid.

Mike Anthony def. Sebastian Amor

Mike Anthony opened the evening by earning an impressive victory over the crafty Sebastian Amor.

Amor relied on experience and ring awareness throughout the contest, frustrating Anthony with timely counters and calculated offense. Anthony remained composed, weathering every challenge before shifting the momentum late in the match.

After surviving Amor’s veteran tactics, Anthony capitalized on an opening and delivered the decisive offense to score the pinfall victory. The win continued Anthony’s recent momentum and provided a strong start to the evening.

Unwilting Tatiana and VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey def. Latina Spice Nat Castle and The Monster Kalypto

VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey joined forces with Unwilting Tatiana to defeat Latina Spice Nat Castle and The Monster Kalypto in tag team action.

The four competitors traded momentum throughout a physical contest that showcased the growing tension between Kalypto and the rest of the women’s division. LaVey and Tatiana found their rhythm late in the match, combining for the victory.

Following the match, Kalypto attacked her own partner, Nat Castle, leaving her laid out in the ring. During an interview with Willie Thrill, Kalypto declared she was calling out the entire VPW locker room before officially announcing her entry into the Gold Rush Rumble.

Ken Powers def. Bobby Buffet

Ken Powers outlasted Bobby Buffet in a hard-hitting battle between two of VPW’s biggest competitors.

Neither man gave an inch as both relied on strength and power to control the pace. Buffet delivered several impressive offensive bursts, but Powers answered each challenge with resilience.

After a grueling exchange, Powers connected with his finishing offense to secure the pinfall and continue building momentum heading toward the Gold Rush Rumble.

Security Inc. def. ManteChica

Security Inc. earned the No. 1 contender spot for the VPW Tag Team Championship by defeating ManteChica.

Before the match, VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton informed both teams that the bout had been upgraded, with the winners receiving a championship opportunity against Committed to Excellence at the Gold Rush Rumble.

ManteChica made a convincing case inside the ring, nearly securing the victory on multiple occasions. The tide turned when Moses secretly used pepper spray, blinding the opposition without the referee’s knowledge. The illegal advantage allowed Security Inc. to steal the victory and become the top contenders.

Rex Lawless def. Brooklyn Outlaw Mike Donovan

Rex Lawless defeated Brooklyn Outlaw Mike Donovan after an energetic contest.

Donovan brought his trademark aggression and refused to back down, but Lawless answered with a combination of power and athleticism that ultimately proved too much to overcome.

Known as the Pectoral Poseidon, Lawless secured the victory after putting Donovan away with his finishing maneuver.

Following the match, Lawless announced that he had officially entered the Gold Rush Rumble, adding another dangerous competitor to the field.

VPW New York State Champion David Graham def. Dante Drago

VPW New York State Champion David Graham retained his championship against former titleholder Dante Drago under controversial circumstances.

Drago appeared more focused on campaigning than winning, allowing Graham opportunities to dictate portions of the contest. At one point, Graham disappeared beneath the ring before surprising Drago with an attack from behind.

The decisive moment came when Silk E Smooth distracted the referee. With the official’s attention diverted, Graham struck Drago with the New York State Championship belt before scoring the pinfall. The victory allowed Graham to retain the title, but not without raising questions about how he accomplished it.

VPW Champion Anthony Gangone def. Alvin Alvarez in a Steel Cage Match

VPW Champion Anthony Gangone retained the VPW Championship by escaping the steel cage against Alvin Alvarez in a brutal main event.

The scheduled cage match barely waited for the opening bell, as Gangone and Alvarez immediately brawled around ringside before finally taking the fight inside the structure. Both competitors delivered a punishing performance, knowing the future of the championship hung in the balance.

As the battle intensified, Gangone padlocked the cage door to eliminate any chance of escape through the entrance. With both men exhausted, the champion climbed over the top of the cage and reached the floor to retain the title.

Following the match, VPW Owner John E Radioo and Commissioner Kevin Fulton reminded Alvarez that, under the pre-match stipulation, he can no longer challenge for the VPW Championship as long as Gangone remains champion. They also confirmed Alvarez is ineligible to enter the Gold Rush Rumble, officially closing the chapter on one of VPW’s longest-running rivalries.

With Kalypto and Rex Lawless joining Mike Anthony, declaring themselves in the Gold Rush Rumble, who will the other 17 competitors be that joins them at the Gold Rush Rumble?

Bay Shore Scramble Match

The Bay Shore Scramble opened with Vincent Michaels and VPW newcomer Thunder Melendez, whose experience competing in Japan and Mexico was immediately evident. ABBS entered third, followed by Lenny Earl Cash and Dylon Woodward, creating a fast-paced contest with momentum changing by the minute.

Cash scored the first elimination by removing Melendez before ABBS eliminated Michaels. The final entrant brought one of the night’s first surprises as former VPW Champion Mike Anthony returned to Victory Pro Wrestling for the first time in several years.

Woodward continued his impressive showing by eliminating Cash, but his run ended after a spirited exchange with Anthony. The returning former champion outlasted the field to win the scramble and immediately reestablish himself as a contender.

Tiny Giant and Tommy Heartfelt def. Dr. James Parker and Franco Costanzo

Tiny Giant and Tommy Heartfelt displayed the stronger teamwork throughout the tag team contest to earn a convincing victory over Dr. James Parker and Franco Costanzo.

While Parker and Costanzo struggled to find rhythm as partners, Tiny Giant and Heartfelt worked with crisp tags, effective double-team offense and constant communication. Their chemistry allowed them to control long stretches of the match before putting their opponents away for the victory.

The win gives Tiny Giant and Heartfelt valuable momentum as VPW’s tag team division continues to grow.

Mike Anthony declares for the Gold Rush Rumble

VPW owner John E Radioo thanked the Bay Shore crowd and praised 2026 as one of the promotion’s strongest years. He pointed to upcoming events, including VPW’s Riverhead debut and the return of the Gold Rush Rumble, as signs that the second half of the calendar will be just as memorable.

Mike Anthony then interrupted to address the fans for the first time since his return. Anthony explained his absence and declared he had returned to reclaim the one prize that matters most to him, the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship. He officially announced his entry into the Gold Rush Rumble on Aug. 8, putting the locker room on notice.

The Monster Kalypto def. The Unwilting Tatiana by submission

The scheduled match barely had a chance to begin before The Monster Kalypto attacked The Unwilting Tatiana on the floor.

Tatiana battled back despite the early assault, refusing to stay down against the increasingly aggressive Kalypto. The challenger found moments of offense, but Kalypto’s relentless attack gradually wore her down.

The Monster ultimately secured the submission victory, putting Tatiana to sleep and sending a message to the rest of the women’s division.

VPW Tag Team Championship: Committed to Excellence vs. ManteChica ends in a no contest

VPW Tag Team Champions Committed to Excellence appeared well on their way to another successful title defense against ManteChica, although the challengers proved more than capable of matching the champions during several competitive exchanges.

The match came to an abrupt end when Security Inc stormed the ring and forced the referee to throw out the contest.

After the bell, Security Inc escalated matters by using pepper spray to “restore order” before targeting Skyler Mack’s arm with a steel chair. The attack left the champions battered and intensified an already heated rivalry within the tag team division.

David Graham def. Filipinot Grigio in a Closed Match Challenge

New York State Champion David Graham announced before the match that he would no longer grant direct championship opportunities. Instead, he unveiled his new “Closed Match Challenge,” declaring that any future challenger must first defeat him in a non-title match.

Filipinot Grigio nearly spoiled Graham’s plan. The challenger controlled much of the contest with technical precision and repeatedly forced the champion onto the defensive.

Silk E Smooth became a factor late in the match, creating the opening Graham needed. With his foot resting on the ropes for added leverage, Graham escaped with a controversial victory and preserved his unbeaten challenge.

Azure vs. Steve Somerset ends in referee stoppage

Azure and Steve Somerset wasted no time taking the fight outside the ring before the opening bell, setting the tone for one of the night’s most physical encounters. Somerset even attempted to defeat Azure by using Azure’s own finishing maneuver.

Commissioner Kevin Fulton, serving as special guest referee, was knocked into the corner during the action and struggled to regain control.

Somerset then delivered a low blow before following with a series of vicious kicks aimed at Azure’s head. Fulton stopped the match to protect Azure.

Somerset immediately rejected the outcome and demanded another opportunity under any stipulation. Azure accepted and proposed “Azure’s Play House.” Before leaving, Somerset stunned Fulton, ensuring the rivalry remains far from over.

VPW Women’s Championship: Amity LaVey def. Big Daddy Adrianna and Jacky Go

VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey successfully retained her title in a triple threat match against Big Daddy Adrianna and Jacky Go.

Jacky Go stepped into the match as a late replacement for Shea McCoy and quickly proved she belonged, matching the champion and Adrianna throughout the fast-moving contest.

All three competitors exchanged momentum in an evenly contested battle before LaVey capitalized at the decisive moment to secure the victory. The successful first title defense further established LaVey as the leader of VPW’s women’s division.

VPW Championship: Anthony Gangone def. Bobby Casale

VPW Champion Anthony Gangone retained the championship against Bobby Casale in a competitive main event that showcased why both men belong among VPW’s elite.

Casale repeatedly pushed the champion to his limits, while Gangone relied on experience and composure to survive every challenge.

The closing moments were disrupted by Alvin Alvarez, whose attempt to interfere backfired and instead cost Casale any chance of winning. Gangone capitalized to retain the championship.

The celebration quickly turned into chaos as Gangone and Alvarez brawled until members of the VPW roster separated them.

John E Radioo then returned with a major announcement. Gangone and Alvarez will meet one final time inside a steel cage at VPW Outside the Box in Riverhead. If Alvarez loses, he will be ineligible for the Gold Rush Rumble and must earn his way back into championship contention.

A brawl started, with everyone throwing everyone else out of the ring, leaving Alvarez standing tall until Mike Anthony returned, threw Alvarez out the ring, and realized he was alone with the championship.

Victory Pro Wrestling brings live professional wrestling to Riverhead for the first time on Saturday, Aug. 1, with Outside the Box at Box Pickleball.

In action: VPW Champion Anthony Gangone, VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey, VPW Tag Team Champions Committed to Excellence, New York State Champion David Graham, ManteChica, Security Inc, Monster Kalypto, Ken Powers, Brooklyn Outlaw Donovan, Rex Lawless, Bobby Buffet, Latina Spice Nat Castle and more.
