PORTLAND CT – The Veteran David Graham is coming to Connecticut, and he is bringing the New York State Championship with him. Saturday, Aug. 29, Graham makes his first appearance in Connecticut since capturing the title, but fans expecting a championship defense at VPW Riverfront Rumble 5 are going to hear something very different.
Graham has made his decision clear. The New York State Championship will NOT be on the line in Portland. The Veteran will not defend the championship, but that does not mean he is stepping away from competition. Instead, Graham says he is still looking for a challenge, and that challenge better be worthy of his attention.
That statement has already sent a message throughout the VPW locker room. Graham believes his experience, toughness and championship pedigree put him in a class of his own. Now, every wrestler on the roster has the question: Who is willing to step forward and prove the Veteran wrong?
Standing beside Graham is his manager, Silk E Smooth, and Smooth has no intention of hiding his opinion. He says nobody is good enough to take on the Veteran. Those are fighting words in wrestling, especially when the champion himself is inviting someone to try.
Whomever steps up to the challenge, if they win, will get a future opportunity at the New York State Championship, a title that has held prestige since it’s inception in 2009. Notable champions include Kevin Fulton, Eric James, Kai Katana, and Ricky Reyes. Recently, Rex Lawless held the championship for almost a year, successfully defending the title against all comers.
On Aug. 29, the challenge is out there. Graham may not be defending the New York State Championship, but he is putting his reputation on the line every time he steps through those ropes. If someone believes they have what it takes, Portland may be the place to find out.
VPW Riverfront Rumble 5 comes to Concentric Brewing Company on Saturday, Aug. 29, with “A Fight Against” raising money for the American Cancer Society. The stakes are bigger than one championship. The Veteran wants a challenge, and someone has the chance to make history by accepting it.
