ICYMI: Grady survives another challenge from Kalypto, Security Inc stands tall in title defense, and Bill Apter helps restore order in the main event. Full results from Legion of Honor

Victory Pro Wrestling returned to Yonkers for Legion of Honor, bringing a packed night of action, championship bouts and hard-hitting rivalries to the American Legion.

Bill Apter Opens the Show

Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter kicked off the evening in unique fashion, serenading the crowd with a rendition of “I Can’t Smile Without You.” The Yonkers audience enthusiastically joined in before Apter shifted his attention to hyping the night’s card. His appearance energized the crowd and set a celebratory tone before the first bell rang.

ABBS def. God of Dad Bod

The opening contest featured a battle of heavyweights as ABBS squared off against the popular God of Dad Bod. Despite typically holding a size advantage over most opponents, ABBS found himself facing an equally imposing challenge. The Yonkers crowd rallied behind Dad Bod throughout the contest, creating a lively atmosphere as both men traded powerful offense.

Dad Bod refused to back down and delivered several impressive moments that nearly turned the tide. Ultimately, ABBS proved why he remains one of VPW’s most dangerous competitors, weathering the support behind his opponent and using his strength and experience – and a little illegal activity – to secure the victory after a hard-fought encounter.

Yonkers Scramble Match
Lenny Earl Cash def. Vincent Michaels, AJ Lupo, Shamir Dinero, Frankie Forearms and The Irish Wolf

Under the rules of the contest, two wrestlers started in the ring, with a new participant entering every two minutes until all six were involved. Eliminations could occur at any time via pinfall or submission.

The unique Yonkers Scramble Match began with Vincent Michaels and AJ Lupo exchanging words before immediately engaging in a heated battle. Shamir Dinero entered third and quickly aligned himself with Michaels. Dinero scored the first elimination by pinning Lupo.

Moments after Frankie Forearms entered fourth carrying skewers and looking to inflict punishment. The Irish Wolf entered fifth to a strong reaction from the crowd and helped change the momentum. Forearms eliminated Michaels, only to be eliminated himself after Michaels assisted Wolf from the outside. Forearms then chased Michaels backstage.

Lenny Earl Cash entered last, tossing money into the crowd before joining the action. After several momentum swings and a chair-wielding Dinero creating chaos, Cash capitalized when Dinero turned his attention elsewhere, securing the final fall and the victory.

Franco Costanzo def. El Jhonny Santos

Two competitors with much to gain met in a contest centered around momentum and opportunity. El Jhonny Santos entered the match determined to re-establish himself in VPW, while Franco Costanzo sought another statement victory that could move him closer to championship contention.

Santos displayed veteran savvy throughout the bout, targeting his opponent with a calculated offensive strategy and controlling large portions of the contest. Costanzo remained resilient and gradually shifted momentum in his favor by utilizing the striking skills developed through his boxing background. As the match progressed, those strikes became increasingly effective.

Costanzo eventually connected with enough offense to put Santos away, earning a significant victory that may strengthen his future championship aspirations.

Yonkers Street Fight
The Irish Virus def. Geronimo

The rivalry between The Irish Virus and Geronimo exploded before either competitor even reached the ring. The fight began outside the ropes and quickly evolved into a chaotic street fight filled with unconventional weapons and plunder.

Lucky Charms cereal, a shillelagh and a trash can all became part of the action as the two competitors battled throughout the venue. Geronimo repeatedly fought back and absorbed tremendous punishment while looking for an opening to finish the match. Virus continued pressing the attack and used the no-rules environment to his advantage.

After a brutal contest that lived up to the street fight stipulation, The Irish Virus finally put Geronimo down long enough to score the decisive victory.

VPW Women’s Championship
Temptatious Tiphani Grady (c) def. Clara Carreras and Kalypto

Fresh off recent title defenses, Temptatious Tiphani Grady entered another difficult challenge against Clara Carreras and Kalypto. Accompanied by Silk E Smooth, Grady found herself dealing with two highly motivated challengers determined to leave Yonkers with the championship. Carreras continued to prove why she belongs among the division’s elite, while Kalypto fought with urgency and intensity throughout the match. Despite several close calls, Grady managed to survive the threat from both challengers and retained the championship by kicking Kalypto out of the ring and pinning a prone Carreras, stealing the win from Kalypto.

Following the match, tensions escalated when Kalypto blamed Grady for the loss. God of Dad Bod then arrived carrying a birthday cake for Kalypto. Before the celebration could begin, Grady grabbed the cake while Smooth restrained Kalypto. Grady attempted to smash the cake into Kalypto’s face, but Kalypto moved at the last moment, sending the cake directly into Smooth’s face instead.

VPW Tag Team Championship
Security Inc (c) def. Misery Inc

Misery Inc returned to VPW seeking revenge after their controversial loss to Security Inc at Orcamania. Determined to even the score, the challengers brought intensity from the opening bell and repeatedly pushed the champions to their limits.

Vi Daniel and Troy Locke relied on their speed and teamwork to keep Security Inc on the defensive for much of the contest. Several near falls had the crowd believing a title change was imminent. The champions remained composed and leaned on their experience during the critical moments.

Security Inc eventually turned the tide through superior power and veteran instincts, retaining the VPW Tag Team Championship and once again denying Misery Inc championship gold.

Pat Angel def. Brooklyn Outlaw Donovan

Brooklyn Outlaw Donovan made his return to VPW to face social media sensation Pat Angel. While Donovan entered with a reputation as one of New York City’s toughest competitors, Angel showed no signs of intimidation.

The two battled on even footing throughout the match, exchanging momentum and keeping the audience engaged. Angel matched Donovan’s physicality and repeatedly answered every challenge presented by the returning veteran.

As the match progressed, Angel gained confidence and capitalized on an opening to score one of the biggest victories of his VPW career. The win further established Angel as a rising competitor capable of defeating established names.

New York State Championship Main Event
Rex Lawless (c) def. JGeorge

Before the main event began, New York State Champion Rex Lawless addressed the crowd and acknowledged that JGeorge had accepted his challenge. Lawless also announced that, with Bill Apter in attendance, he would defend Apter’s championship in his honor. JGeorge interrupted the proceedings, verbally targeting Apter before turning his focus to the champion.

Once the match began, JGeorge used speed and aggression to challenge Lawless, while the champion relied on his power and resilience to remain in control. Momentum shifted repeatedly before chaos erupted when the referee was accidentally knocked down.

JGeorge immediately took advantage with a low blow and attempted to use the championship belt as a weapon. Before he could succeed, Apter intervened to prevent the title from being used. With order restored, Lawless recovered, seized control and delivered the decisive finishing sequence to retain the New York State Championship in a dramatic conclusion to the evening.
