BAY SHORE, N.Y. – Victory Pro Wrestling closed out its special Sunday event, Thanks for Everything, with a main event that brought two competitors ready to claim to be the best in the ring. The VPW Championship was on the line as reigning champion Anthony Gangone faced the returning Leader of the Takeover, TJ Crawford, in a contest that promised to test the champion against one of his toughest challenges yet.
David Graham opens the night with a championship declaration
New York State Champion David Graham wasted little time taking control of the evening, interrupting Hostess Samita as she attempted to welcome the Bay Shore crowd. Introduced by Silk E Smooth, Graham acknowledged the fans before addressing his upcoming title defense, making it clear that he had no intention of entertaining another challenge from Mister Tibbs.
“Tonight I will be defending this championship for the very first time, and the very last time,” Graham declared. The champion went on to dismiss Tibbs as mediocrity, referencing their previous encounter and promising to embarrass him once again in front of the Bay Shore faithful.
VPW Tag Team Championship Qualifier: Misery Inc. defeats The Vetrano Brothers
Two teams looking to establish themselves in the VPW tag team division collided as Misery Inc. (Vi Daniel and Troy Locke) faced the young and powerful Vetrano Brothers (Mook and Stock). Both teams entered the contest looking to rebound after suffering losses to Security Inc. in their respective VPW debuts.
Misery Inc. attacked before the opening bell, but the Vetranos quickly turned the tables. The action intensified as Daniel and Locke relied on quick tags and relentless offense to isolate Mook, showcasing the experience and championship pedigree that made Misery Inc. a dangerous combination.
A hot tag brought Stock into the match, and he immediately took control with a running bulldog and clothesline combination. However, Misery Inc. demonstrated its experience when the Vetranos attempted a double dropkick, only for Daniel to pull Locke out of harm’s way. Even after the brothers regained control, Daniel repeatedly found ways to avoid defeat, including reaching the ropes to break a pinfall and interfering with their attempted Aw Snap finisher.
Misery Inc. eventually overwhelmed the Vetranos with another explosive offensive sequence. Locke connected with a top-rope knee, followed by Daniel’s trademark double-stomp combination to secure the victory.
Following the match, Willie Thrill interviewed the winners, who announced they would face ManteChica at Disorderly Conduct to determine the new VPW Tag Team Champions. Daniel delivered a warning to their upcoming opponents: “Do not say you weren’t warned, consider your minds freaked by Misery Inc.”
Clara Carreras entered the ring to congratulate Misery Inc. and offer a handshake in a display of sportsmanship. Daniel and Locke wanted no part of it, turning away from Carreras and leaving the ring.
Bay Shore Scramble: ABBS defeats Bradley Henderson, Tommy Heartfelt, Franco Costanzo and Jason Void
Five competitors entered the Bay Shore Scramble with one goal: survive everyone else and leave Bay Shore victorious. The match featured two competitors starting in the ring, with another entrant joining every minute, while pinfalls and submissions eliminated opponents until one wrestler remained.
Bradley Henderson and Franco Costanzo started the contest, immediately engaging in a bizarre exchange of hair pulling and biting. Henderson gained momentum with a spinning elbow drop for a near fall, but the arrival of Jason Void changed the complexion of the match. Void, who had teamed with Costanzo to earn a victory at Haunted Ground, initially appeared happy to work alongside his former partner. The two combined for a sidewalk slam and neckbreaker on Henderson, but Costanzo pulled Void off the cover, insisting that he wanted the victory for himself.
Tommy Heartfelt entered next and immediately targeted Costanzo, sending him outside before delivering a powerslam to Void. Henderson briefly returned to the action, but Heartfelt quickly eliminated him from his immediate plans.
The final entrant, ABBS, brought an entirely different challenge. Showing off what he considers the toughest abs in the business, ABBS connected with a pop-up ABBS Buster on Henderson. He continued the assault with a sidewalk slam and splash, but Henderson somehow kicked out.
Costanzo and Void briefly reunited to send ABBS outside. However, their partnership quickly collapsed when Costanzo rolled up Void for the first elimination. ABBS then eliminated Costanzo, leaving Henderson, Heartfelt and ABBS as the final three.
Henderson neutralized ABBS and turned his attention toward Heartfelt, eventually eliminating him with a big finishing move. That left Henderson and ABBS to settle the match. Henderson made the mistake of repeatedly punching ABBS in the stomach, only to wear himself out against the powerful competitor. ABBS capitalized, connecting with an ABBS Bomb from the second rope to earn the victory.
The celebration was short-lived. Rex Lawless stormed the ring and decimated ABBS before declaring himself the definition of what a wrestler should look like. The Main Attraction proclaimed that this was his ring and that he runs Victory Pro Wrestling.
Clara Carreras defeats Lady Glory
Clara Carreras continued her pursuit of Tiphani Grady and the VPW Women’s Championship by taking on the debuting Lady Glory. The two competitors already had history after Glory interfered in Carreras’ championship challenge against Grady in New Jersey, providing the distraction that allowed the champion to capitalize.
Carreras started aggressively, powering Glory into the corner and establishing control with her strength. However, Glory used her quickness and a well-timed misdirection to turn the momentum, sending Carreras into the ropes and slowing the pace of the contest. The young competitor continued targeting Carreras in the corner, using her shoulder to wear down her opponent.
Carreras eventually fought back, connecting with a Code Red from the second rope for a near fall. Glory answered with a kick to the head and a big suplex out of the corner, but Carreras managed to reach the ropes before the three-count.
The veteran competitor mounted another comeback, delivering a series of chops before following with a Thesz Press and ground-and-pound offense. Glory continued fighting, but her frustration became increasingly apparent as Carreras refused to stay down.
Carreras finally caught Glory in the corner and delivered a powerbomb to secure the pinfall victory. The win gave Clara an important measure of revenge after Glory’s interference in her previous championship opportunity.

TJ Crawford declares that the Takeover is coming for VPW
The Leader of the Takeover, TJ Crawford, made his presence felt ahead of his highly anticipated championship opportunity against Anthony Gangone. Crawford addressed the Bay Shore crowd, making it clear that the Takeover belonged in Victory Pro Wrestling.
The challenger promised that he would leave the evening with the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship. With his first VPW match since January 2025 approaching, Crawford made sure everyone understood that he had returned with one purpose: to take the championship.
Mike Anthony defeats Black Diamond
Mike Anthony approached his confrontation with Black Diamond in an unexpected way, bringing chairs and drinks to the ring in what appeared to be an attempt at a peaceful conversation. Anthony explained that he was in a good mood and simply wanted to sit down and talk. Diamond initially protested from outside the ring but eventually accepted the invitation.
The two shared a drink of seltzer water before Diamond attempted to spit it into Anthony’s face. Anthony avoided the attack and immediately unleashed an assault, turning the friendly gathering into a fight.
Black Diamond relied on his size and power to take control, using a slow, methodical approach reminiscent of Alvin Alvarez. Anthony struggled to overcome the larger competitor, with Diamond maintaining control through several punishing exchanges and near falls.
The action eventually spilled outside the ring, where Anthony found an opportunity to change the momentum. The former VPW Champion began mounting a comeback, but Diamond continued powering through his pinfall attempts. Things looked particularly dangerous when Diamond connected with a Samoan drop and senton combination made famous by Alvarez.
Anthony refused to stay down. He eventually caught Diamond with a second-rope bulldog, securing the pinfall victory and adding another win to his record.
New York State Championship: Mister Tibbs defeats champion David Graham by disqualification
David Graham entered his first title defense against Mister Tibbs, the challenger who earned his opportunity by defeating the champion at Haunted Ground. With Silk E Smooth accompanying Graham, the champion was determined to prove his opening-night declaration that Tibbs would never be a problem again.
Tibbs nearly ended Graham’s championship reign in under seven seconds, connecting with a running knee that produced a two-count. Smooth immediately pulled his client to the outside, but Tibbs followed and shoved Graham into his manager. Back inside, Tibbs continued his assault and looked to finish the match with a double stomp, only for Graham to escape and send the challenger into the corner post. Smooth then blindsided Tibbs with a clothesline outside the referee’s view.
Graham took advantage, becoming increasingly aggressive as he worked to keep Tibbs down. The champion used the ropes to choke his opponent, repeatedly pushing the referee’s five-count limit. Tibbs continued fighting back, eventually regaining control and demonstrating that he was ready to reclaim championship gold after several years away from VPW.
A big right hand and chop appeared to stun Graham, but the champion responded with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall. Graham followed with a high knee, his finishing move and a series of kicks, but Tibbs continued kicking out. A powerbomb and double-stomp combination followed by a frog splash still wasn’t enough to put the challenger away.
Frustrated, Graham continued attacking Tibbs in the corner, repeatedly ignoring referee Emi’s instructions. After being warned that another violation would result in a disqualification, Graham shoved the referee. When Emi shoved him back, the champion responded with a high knee that knocked her down.
Tibbs seized the opportunity, connecting with a Psycho Knee and a double stomp from the top rope. Referee Alison Wright entered to make the count, and Hostess Samira announced Tibbs as the new champion. However, Emi called for the bell before the three-count was completed, resulting in a disqualification victory for Tibbs while Graham retained the championship.
Following the controversial finish, Commissioner Fulton called the ending garbage and announced that the two would meet again at Disorderly Conduct. This time, there would be no disqualifications, as the championship rematch would take place under Bay Shore Street Fight rules. Fulton guaranteed that Mister Tibbs would leave with the New York State Championship.
Tag Team Grudge Match: Tiphani Grady and Kalypto defeat Kamar Amiira and Amity LaVey
The rivalry between VPW Women’s Champion Tiphani Grady and former champion Amity LaVey continued as the two joined forces with unlikely partners. Grady teamed with Kalypto against LaVey and the competitor introduced as Kamar Amiira, formerly known as Amiira Sahar.
LaVey and Grady started the match, with the champion immediately forced to contend with the ferocity of her former rival. Kalypto entered and used her size and strength to overpower Amiira, but the Lebanese Princess refused to stay down. Grady repeatedly used blind tags to maintain control and keep her partner fresh, much to the frustration of LaVey, who desperately wanted to get back into the action.
Amiira eventually connected with a flying crossbody that took both Grady and Kalypto down, creating the opening for a hot tag to LaVey. The former champion exploded into the ring, attacking both opponents and bringing the crowd behind her. She nearly secured a victory over Grady, but Kalypto broke up the pinfall and dragged the champion back toward their corner.
The action continued to shift as LaVey tagged Amiira back into the match. Amiira connected with a cutter, but Grady again interrupted the pin attempt. LaVey was sent outside, leaving Amiira vulnerable to Kalypto’s pop-up knee and attempted rear-naked choke.
However, Grady had secretly tagged herself back into the match. With LaVey and Kalypto battling outside, Grady capitalized on the confusion and stole the pinfall victory.
Afterward, Willie Thrill interviewed the winners and asked Grady about her promised championship match against Kalypto. The champion brushed off the question, prompting Kalypto to deliver a clothesline that sent Grady crashing to the mat. Kalypto then attempted to go after Silk E Smooth, but Grady pulled her manager away before the situation could escalate further ahead of their scheduled showdown at Disorderly Conduct.
Evil Kip defeats Dylon Woodward
Dylon Woodward entered the ring looking to get an advantage over Evil Kip before the match even began, demanding that the referee inspect his opponent. Woodward attempted to attack, but Kip avoided the opening assault and quickly took control. The referee eventually pulled Kip away as he prepared a wishbone stomp, allowing Woodward to recover and connect with a running knee lift.
Top 5 Dead or Alive briefly gained momentum, but Kip answered with a series of chops in the corners. The action spilled outside, where Kip continued his attack before diving through the ropes onto a stunned Woodward.
Woodward attempted to call for a timeout, but quickly changed tactics by kicking Kip’s knee and targeting the injured leg. A standing ankle lock kept Kip grounded, and Woodward appeared to have found the weakness needed to secure the victory.
Kip eventually fought back, connecting with a dropkick and a double stomp from the corner. However, his injured leg continued to slow his progress, preventing him from capitalizing immediately.
The match took another turn when Black Diamond appeared at ringside, looking to stir up trouble. A double clothesline sent both competitors crashing to the mat, allowing Diamond to reveal that he had been paid handsomely to deliver a pair of brass knuckles.
Mike Anthony arrived as the referee was distracted by Diamond. With the official’s attention elsewhere, Kip seized the opportunity and used the brass knuckles to knock Woodward out, securing the victory.
Following the match, Anthony called out both Black Diamond and Dylon Woodward, setting the stage for a tag team confrontation at Disorderly Conduct.
Victory Pro Wrestling Championship: Anthony Gangone defeats TJ Crawford
Anthony Gangone put his VPW Championship on the line against the returning Leader of the Takeover, TJ Crawford, in the night’s main event. Crawford, competing in his first VPW match since January 2025, entered with a clear mission to take the championship away from the reigning titleholder.
The two started with a display of respect, but that quickly disappeared as Crawford kicked Gangone in the midsection and began looking for an opening. Gangone maintained control early, but a missed running knee in the corner allowed Crawford to turn the tide. The challenger connected with a slingshot back suplex and began targeting Gangone’s mandible claw hand, looking to neutralize one of the champion’s most dangerous weapons.
Crawford continued applying pressure, proving to be one of Gangone’s toughest championship opponents to date. Gangone struggled against the attack but eventually connected with an exploder suplex into the corner to regain momentum. A second-rope leg drop produced a near fall before the champion went into mask time, transforming into Dr. Sleep.
Gangone continued his attack with a springboard DDT for another two-count before locking Crawford in a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring. Crawford fought his way toward the ropes and eventually escaped, leaving Gangone hanging on the ropes after a kick. A backspring sent the champion outside, where Crawford followed with a cutter that nearly ended Gangone’s championship reign.
Crawford came within a fraction of a second of capturing the title, but Gangone managed to kick out. The challenger attempted to capitalize on the opening, preparing his corner kick, but Gangone countered with a small package. Crawford remained focused on the champion’s hand, giving Gangone the opportunity to strike with a ripcord clothesline.
Gangone put his mask back on and locked Crawford in the mandible claw. The challenger struggled desperately to escape, but the champion refused to release the hold. Gangone secured the pinfall victory, successfully defending the VPW Championship.
The celebration was short-lived as Rex Lawless stormed the ring and attacked the champion, leaving him laid out. The Main Attraction then announced that he would cash in his Gold Rush Rumble contract at Disorderly Conduct, officially challenging Gangone for the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship on Dec. 12.
