NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
“FRAT STAR” DANTE DRAGO vs CHAMPION ERIC JAMES

Dante Drago earned the right to challenge for the New York State championship in a gauntlet match at Disorderly Conduct. His match with Eric James was easily a show stealer, but the experience of the New York State Champion allowed him to fend off the challenge of the Frat Star.

WINNER: ERIC JAMES

KING OF NEW YORK TOURNAMENT
MIKE ANTHONY vs THE VESTLER JACK TOMLINSON

The first round of the King of New York tournament showed two of VPW’s young stars hungry to show they are the best in the company. Tomlinson was in control and ready to win but the wily Kaide Lothbrok provided just enough distraction for Mike Anthony to steal the win.

WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS: MIKE ANTHONY

After the match, Dante Drago attacked Tomlinson. Lothbrok offered his hand yet again before joining Drago in the beatdown.

ADAM CAIN & BROTHER GREATNESS vs SHOOK CREW (BOBBY ORLANDO / BRYCE DONOVAN)

Adam Cain and Brother Greatness teamed up once again, taking on Shook Crew in a match with possible tag team title implications. The match was fun to watch until Greatness took a horrible spill to the outside in a spot where there was some miscommunication between himself and his partner Cain.

WINNER: SHOOK CREW

VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
VALENTINA VASQUEZ vs CHAMPION KAREN BAM BAM W/ SILK E SMOOTH

Vasquez came out first, calling out Karen Bam Bam, and reminding the fans that she was the one that gave Bam Bam the biggest challenge to date. Smooth came out and disrespected the challenge from Vasquez before the champion came to the ring.

Vasquez put in her best effort to try and defeat the champion, putting on a better effort than her last match against Karen, but once again was caught in Karen’s camel clutch. Vasquez held on but not for long as someone called out Karen. The champion released the submission and turned to see who was calling her out: none other than Anastasia MorningStar! Capitalizing on the distraction, Vasquez rolled up Karen in a schoolgirl for the win.

WINNER AND NEW VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: VALENTINA VASQUEZ

As Valentina grabbed the championship, MorningStar and Karen squared off in the ring.

THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE WITH DR. COOL JAY KLANG

Dr. Cool Jay Klang introduced his guest, the injured Percy Ryan. Ryan came out and started to talk about how he was hurt before calling one of the camerapersons to enter the ring so he could address Dezmond Cole, who was at home.

He then talked about how he was injured but still at VPW while Dezmond Cole was hurt but milking the injury at home. Ryan turned his attention to Dr. Cool, who was trying to note that was not one of VPW’s camera staff. While Ryan was yelling at Dr. Cool, the camera operator took his hoodie off and reveals that he was Dezmond Cole!

Ryan turned around and ate a spear from Cole who started a ground and pound before Ryan was able to escape. Cole then challenged Percy Ryan for a match at Before the Storm.

MISTER TIBBS vs DR COOL JAY KLANG

Things did not end well for “The Doctor’s Office” and was not looking better for Dr. Cool. Mister Tibbs came to the ring and noted to the fans that due to transportation issues, his opponent Max Caster would not be performing that night. That said, Mister Tibbs called out the winner of the main event at Before the Storm because he claims he never got his rematch for the VPW Championship.

With the bell started, it would be Mister Tibbs putting on a clinic, taking apart his impromptu opponent before finally picking up the win.

WINNER: MISTER TIBBS

VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
THE ABSOLUTE BRAND (ALVIN ALVAREZ / GIANT ANDRE) vs CHAMPIONS THE EVEN STEVENS (STEVE SOMERSET / STEPHEN AZURE)

Challengers out first, as is tradition. Knowing this, the Even Stevens attacked Giant Andre from behind, taking his knee out and bringing down the big man. They then went for a double belt attack on Alvin Alvarez who ducked the move and sent the champions reeling to the ring. Alvin then checked on Andre, who was being tended to by the medical staff. With Andre in good hands, Alvin went to the ring to take on the champions on his own.

With the match under way, Alvin was tough, but the numbers game between the Even Stevens was too much for him. Andre was able to get back to the ring and finally get some revenge for the attack on Somerset and Azure, but then a double choke slam on Alvin Alvarez left the fans in shock. Somerset and Azure capitalized, picked up the win, and retained the titles.

WINNERS: THE EVEN STEVENS

After the match, as Andre walked to the back, Silk E Smooth came out from the locker room area and joined Andre while Alvarez looked on in shock.

KAIDE LOTHBROK vs VSK

The first match between Lothbrok and VSK ended with a Lothbrok victory. VSK would look to pick up the win but had his work cut out for him. Without the distraction of Beau Sullivan, things looked good for the 3x VPW champion, but it was Dante Drago once again causing issues, this time in a 2-on-1 assault on VSK.

WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: VSK

With Drago and Lothbrok taking care of VSK, out came the Vestler Jack Tomlinson to save VSK and even the odds.

KING OF NEW YORK TOURNAMENT
KARLO VICE w/ MIKE ANTHONY vs PHILLIP CARDIGAN W/ KIP STEVENS

Karlo brought his A game, his partner Mike Anthony brought… pizza. Phillip Cardigan and Karlo Vice started it off with Karlo looking to teach Cardigan how to wrestle, but turned into a dance contest.

Karlo was able to regain control and dominate Cardigan but unable to keep him down. Mike Anthony went to help his partner but Kip Stevens thwarted the attempt and shoved a cupcake in his face, leaving a distracted Vice to a waiting Cardigan.

WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS: PHILLIP CARDIGAN

THE MAIN EVENT FOR THE VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
COACH MAMMONE vs CHAMPION JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS
If Coach Mammone wins, he become champion again… but if he loses, he must retire

Pre-match shenanigans once again delayed the start of the match but this time, the challenger Coach Mammone blew up and attacked the Even Stevens, sending them to the back.

Mammone was on fire, tearing apart Collins throughout the match. The new champion kept coming back but Collins was no match for Coach. Everything he did was thwarted as Mammone would not stay down.

The official went down, giving the Even Stevens a chance to come back and help Collins, but Mammone was able to survive the second wave and once again hold down the challenge.

Somehow Collins was able to finally come back and slay the demon that is Coach Mammone and put him away for good.

WINNER: JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS

After the match, Mammone thanked the fans for all their love and support before heading to the locker room one last time.

What will happen when Victory Pro Wrestling returns to the Sports Arena in St James in February for VPW 149: Before the Storm?

Cat and Cop Connection.

The Absolute Brand.

These are the last three teams to hold the Victory Pro Wrestling championships since the summer of 2018. They all have one thing in common.

They were all able to successfully defend the Victory Pro Wrestling tag team championships against the Even Stevens.

Stephen Azure and Steve Somerset continued to stay in the top rung of the VPW Tag Team division, despite able to pick up wins when it counted.

At Homecoming in July, they had one last shot to rise to the top in front of the first live audience on Long Island since VPW’s Blood Sweat and 14 Years. In the new home of Victory Pro Wrestling. Against a team that lost the momentum they had after winning the championships in January 2020.

After the loss, they went to the back of the line. New teams popped up.

The Insane Rockerz.

Shook Crew.

The Coffee Lovers.

All of a sudden, the playing field filled up and the chance to not become top contenders again was a reality.

Somerset and Azure had to adapt.

In a triple threat match, the Even Stevens stole the win against Shook Crew and the Coffee Lovers, putting them right back into the hunt. They challenged the champions, who accepted.

With the set stage at Disorderly Conduct in November, the Even Stevens had one last chance to prove they were truly the best tag team in Victory Pro Wrestling. The crack in the armor of the Absolute Brand had already been revealed – Silk E Smooth had intervened in a prior match and angered the Giant Andre in the process.

This time, Smooth could not resist and a miscue caused the Absolute Brand to lose the titles to Somerset and Azure. For the first time, the Even Stevens held championship gold.

What happened next is important. Alvin Alvarez fired Silk E Smooth. Giant Andre made Alvin choose – chance to regain the titles, or stick with Smooth and lose Andre as a partner.

Now at Devastation in December, the Absolute Brand will have a chance to regain the titles. They will have a chance to do so without the distraction of Silk E Smooth. With the focus of 2019, the drive and determination to become champions or leave forever.

They may join The Eclipse and the Down Boyz in the coveted multi-time tag team championship club (Eclipse are the only team to hold the titles three times) and even give the Even Stevens a spot in the record books – shortest reign as tag team champions.

It is rare in sports to see champions as underdogs, but at Devastation, that is exactly where the Even Stevens are. The Absolute Brand want their belts back and will do anything to get them.

What will happen when Victory Pro Wrestling returns to St James December 18th for Devastation?

He actually did it. Johnny “Pretty Boy” Collins is the new Victory Pro Wrestling champion. At Devastation, he will meet Coach Mammone for the top prize, but at what cost to the challenger? Mammone, not happy that he lost the title, is putting his career on the line for one shot to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his.

Your New York State Champion Eric James had a hard fought victory over Mister Tibbs, and this month faces the Frat Guy Dante Drago. Drago won a top contenders gauntlet match to meet the champion. Can he step up to Eric James or is Drago focused too much on the after party?

VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
MISTER TIBBS vs CHAMPION ERIC JAMES

A classic feud with Tibbs and James that started in 2010 would be revisited as these two absolutely took each other to the limit. In what could be a “Match of the Year” contender, these two left nothing on the table before the champion retained.

WINNER: ERIC JAMES

VICTORY PRO WRESTLING TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
THE EVEN STEVENS (Steve Somerset & Stephen Azure)
vs CHAMPIONS THE ABSOLUTE BRAND (Alvin Alvarez & Giant Andre w/ Silk E Smooth)

The Even Stevens redeemed themselves after a loss at Homecoming in July, giving the champions something to work with, but outside interference and a miscue from Silk E Smooth, the Vest in the World became the Best in VPW.

WINNER: AND NEW VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.. THE EVEN STEVENS

After the match… Giant Andre called out Silk E Smooth for once again causing them a win, and demanded Alvin Alvarez to make a decision – Silk E Smooth or Giant Andre. After some consideration, Alvarez fired Silk E Smooth and celebrated with Andre as they now focus on regaining the tag team championships… without Smooth.

TAG TEAM MATCH
THE WOLVES OF ODIN
vs JACK TOMLINSON & BROTHER GREATNESS

Before the match, Kaide announced that Beau Sullivan was out collecting dues from lowlifes and Percy Ryan was hurt so now he was going to bring in a man Kaide felt better represented his vision… Dante Drago

The match itself featured the undersized Brother Greatness stepping up to Kaide and Dante, but the star of the match was Jack Tomlinson as he was able to lead his team to victory.

WINNERS: JACK TOMLINSON AND BROTHER GREATNESS

After the match… Kaide applauded Jack for his efforts, leaving the Vestler a little confused.

WOMEN’S SHOWCASE
THE SPIRITUAL SUBMITTER INDIGO vs LA CHICA CLARA CARRERAS

Indigo and Carreras, both making their VPW debut, sparked some life in the women’s division with a match that could be the foundation of a classic feud. In tribute to the late Eddie Guererro, Carreras finished off Indigo with a frog splash.

WINNER: CLARA CARRERAS

THE MAIN EVENT – VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS
vs VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPION COACH MAMMONE

After being paraded around the ring on the shoulders of the Even Stevens, Collins refused to let the ring announcer introduce him. The challenger went to the crowd to find a fan to introduce Collins.

Once the match started, it was all Coach Mammone. The champion took it to Collins but the challenger was able to keep up with him. Collins was frustrated by his opponent’s never die attitude and was caught off guard when Mammone locked him in a Sharpshooter.

The bell rang, and Mammone unlocked the hold, but Collins did not submit. Senior official Steven Dumeng noticed Stephen Azure at the timekeeper’s table and admonished him for his actions as Steve Somerset snuck into the ring and knocked out the champion with a chain.

A groggy Collins slowly crawled on top of Mammone while Dumeng rushed back to the ring to make the count.

WINNER AND NEW VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPION: Johnny “Pretty Boy” Collins

After the match… Mammone while not surprised was disappointed. He wanted a championship rematch at December’s “Devastation” show, to which Collins said… no.

The former champion said he’d do anything. He’d put his career on the line if he had to so he could get one more shot at the title. Collins said that would be the only way he’d get a title shot, and Mammone agreed. VPW owner John E Radioo asked Coach if he understood what that meant before making it official.

Now the stage is set, but at what cost? Will Coach Mammone regain the championship or will Johnny Collins eliminate the former champion forever?
