The winner of the Gold Rush Rumble also wins an opportunity to challenge for any active championship in Victory Pro Wrestling. Traditionally speaking, they make an announcement on the first event after winning to tell the VPW Faithful which championship they intend to challenge for, but the winner of this year’s Rumble, the Pectoral Poseidon Rex Lawless, may have already made his intentions clear.

After Victory Pro Wrestling Champion Anthony Gangone defeated Prince Ahmed in August, he was attacked by Black Diamond. Lawless came out to make the save, then attacked Gangone, leaving the champion for dead as he held the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship above his head.

Rex Lawless will be in Bay Shore in October, and we hope to get more answers than questions at Haunted Ground.

New York State Champion “The Veteran” David Graham has created a “closed” challenge for the championship. He is giving people the opportunity to earn their right to the title – but only if they can first defeat him. Several talents have thrown their name in the hat, most recently Tommy Heartfelt in Connecticut, only to fail when the bell rang.

At the Gold Rush Rumble, Graham looked to capture the victory but was himself eliminated by Mister Tibbs. The former standard bearer and VPW Grand Slam champion was impressive in his return to VPW, showing a fire in the ring that rivals when he was on top of Victory Pro Wrestling a decade earlier. Graham was reportedly frustrated after being eliminated. Could there be a match in the making here?

VPW Women’s Champion Amity LaVey looks to return to Bay Shore as champion, but she has to get past Top Tier Tiana James first when Rising Stars Women’s Wrestling returns to Deer Park September 19. Will the Doctor’s Favorite Patient return to Bay Shore with the gold, or will Tiana James make her VPW debut already on top of the mountain?

Whomever wins looks to be facing the top contender to the title – according to The Indy Experience rankings – The Monster Kalypto. One year into her pro wrestling career and Kalypto has shown a unique dominance with her opponents, only to lose because of friendships and alliances that have fallen apart.

After her brutal attack on the Unwilting Tatiana earlier this summer, Kalypto has been on a tear. Between her dominant win over Tatiana at the Gold Rush Rumble, then her incredible performance in the Gold Rush Rumble match, she continued her winning ways by dominating the talented Bombshell Beauty Kayla Lopez last month in Connecticut.

Regardless of who wins in Deer Park in September, Kalypto awaits.

The last time the VPW Tag Team Championships were held in abeyance was in 2023. Bryce Donovan was injured and Shook Crew were forced to relinquish the titles. Most recently, a brutal attack on Skyler Mack by Security Inc caused him to not be able to defend the title with Adam Kirkland at Outside the Box in Riverhead, and again a week later at the Gold Rush Rumble in Bay Shore. Commissioner Kevin Fulton made the announcement and reclaimed the championships.

VPW Management is currently working on a solution to crown a new champion in the tag team division and will be making an announcement, but is apparently also looking at a legal matter with an injunction recently filed against Commissioner Fulton and Victory Pro Wrestling by none other than Journey Burke Esq on behalf of Security Inc.

Now in its fifth year, the family-friendly wrestling event continues to grow in both scale and impact, blending high-energy entertainment with heartfelt purpose.

“It started as just an idea,” said organizer Naji Chester-Payne, the founder of A Fight Against. “We wanted to create something different – something that would entertain and inspire, while also supporting a cause that touches so many lives.”

From Riverfront Park to a Brewery Brawl

After reaching out to Victory Pro Wrestling, the idea became reality when the first Riverfront Rumble took place in 2022 at Portland Riverfront Park. Featuring the stars of Victory Pro Wrestling, the event raised funds and awareness for cancer research, earning the attention of fans, sponsors, and even professional wrestling promotions.

Riverfront Rumble had outgrown its original setting. In 2024, the event moved to Concentric Brewing Company, transforming the outdoor beer garden into an arena for high-stakes, hard-hitting action.

Bigger Stars, Bigger Impact

This year’s event promises to be another big event. Riverfront Rumble 5 will feature a loaded lineup of independent wrestling’s fastest-rising stars, as well as some of VPW’s top talent. Among those set to appear are VPW Tag Team Champions Committed to Excellence, New York State Champion David Graham, and Muay Thai Monster Kalypto.

“Every year we look to bring something new to the table,” said VPW owner John E Radioo. “And this year, we’ve got talent that fans across the region have been dying to see live.”

“This is a celebration of life, strength, and community,” Radioo said in a recent interview. “To be able to bring wrestling back to Connecticut again, especially at an event like this. It’s not just a ‘show’, it’s a statement.”

For a Cause That Matters

While the in-ring action is sure to thrill fans, the heart of the Riverfront Rumble remains its mission: raising awareness and funding in the fight against cancer. Proceeds from the event will support local organizations and research initiatives selected by A Fight Against.

“Wrestling is a platform,” said Chester-Payne. “It brings people together – families, friends, neighbors. We use that energy to remind people why we’re here: to make a difference.”

The partnership between VPW and A Fight Against is expected to continue beyond this year’s event, with plans for additional outreach and collaboration already underway.

Tickets and Event Info

Riverfront Rumble 5 will take place Saturday, Aug. 29 at Concentric Brewing Company in Portland. Doors open at 11:30 am., with the first bell set for 12:30 pm. The event is open to all ages, with food and beverages available from Concentric Brewery.

Tickets and more information are available at VictoryProWrestling.com.

For Chester-Payne and the team behind A Fight Against, the hope is that fans leave the show entertained, but also reminded of the power of community.

“Every punch, every slam, every cheer, it all means something,” Chester-Payne said. “This is more than a wrestling show. It’s a fight we all share.”

Victory Pro Wrestling returns to Connecticut on Saturday, August 29, at Concentric Brewing Company in Portland..
