Coach Mammone made a beeline to the ring to start the show off, cutting off the ring announcer and keeping it straight to the point. After being taken out, he’s back and he wants revenge against Kyler Khan and the Influence.

Looking to the locker room, Mammone and the VPW Faithful were surprised as Kyler Khan came to the ring from the fans and attacked the VPW Champion from behind. Making the save was Eric James? Apparently so!

The New York State champion then mentioned that the rest of the Influence wasn’t there tonight, and that Kyler Khan was here to do the dirty work. James called Khan the Influence’s bitch.

Kyler Khan then told Eric James that tonight he would be facing Ryan Galeone. Khan then said there was more, that per VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton, it would be a triple threat match. With no disqualification. And that the Influence called in a favor, bringing out Johnny Clash.

Eric James and Coach Mammone then ended it with a handshake, as James said, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Last month, Percival the Third brutally assaulted his tag team partner Aaron Rourke. The Voice of Victory Pro Wrestling John E Radioo brought him out to ask him why.

He first declared that he will no longer be referred to by that name, and that moving forward he would be known as Percy Ryan. From there, he went on to explain why he did what he did to Rourke by starting that he hated every single person in VPW.

Percy Ryan said that he thought if he was like everyone else, that he would rise to the top. But he was done with that, now he was the one reason why people came to VPW. He then called out Aaron Rourke saying that Rourke’s lucky he didn’t go to the hospital to rip his damn leg off.

VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPIONS THE ABSOLUTE BRAND (Alvin Alvarez & the Giant Andre) w/ Silk E Smooth
vs THE EVEN STEVENS (Steve Somerset/Steven Azure) w/ Johnny Collins

• Silk E Smooth was thrown out for attacking Steve Somerset outside the ring. This was a good acting job by Somerset, who was never really attacked by Smooth, who protested before heading to the back.
• The Even Stevens sharpened up the talons and worked to dissect Alvin Alvarez using double team moves and lots of trash talking to keep his focus down.
• Keeping Andre out of the ring was a sound strategy, but with Azure and Alvarez down in the ring, Collins ran to the corner to try and knock Andre off the apron. Turnabout being fair play, the referee saw this and threw him out of ringside.
• Andre’s 6’7″ 300 pound frame gave the champions the advantage again and Alvarez a breather, but the challengers fought on. However, after a double choke slam from Andre, followed with a running splash into the corner from Alvarez and a big boot from the big man, the champions retained.

VPW CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION COACH MAMMONE vs THE INFLUENCE’S KYLER KHAN

• Coach kept fighting though, noting the belt on the mat, and looked to use it. Khan gave him a low blow and then grabbed the belt before whipping him like a government mule. He then used the belt as a restraint, tying Mammone up and binding him to the ropes.
• Khan introduced a steel chair but Mammone fought back, despite being tied to the ring. Khan released the bind from the rope and set Mammone in the middle of the ring but Coach broke free. Khan tried to choke Mammone out but the champion fought back.
• Mammone returned the favor and used the belt Khan brought into the ring as a weapon, whipping the challenger. Teasing the chair again, the champion hesitated. Khan lured him in, but instead of hitting Coach, he punched the chair. Mammone connected with a reverse DDT and covered Khan, with the second official storming the ring for the three count.

WINNER AND STILL VPW CHAMPION: COACH MAMMONE

After fourteen years of wrestling action, Victory Pro Wrestling looks to start the new wrestling year with our next show, Spring Showdown, Saturday night April 18 in Centereach.

Tickets will go on sale Monday morning at 9am. We’ll see you there!

To start the show, Coach Mammone’s music played – but out came the Influence instead. Commissioner Kevin Fulton said that Mammone was out for the night, and that at March 7’s Blood Sweat and 14 Years anniversary show, it would be Kyler Khan against Coach Mammone for the VPW Championship – and if Coach Mammone is not cleared to wrestle, then he will forfeit the championship.

He then said that tonight, it would be the Influence that would walk away with the King of New York trophy. New York State Champion Eric James intervened, stating that last month he didn’t want the help, and this month against Stockade he wanted to do it on his own. The Influence joked about it, winking in jest, but James made it clear he was serious and he wanted to do this on his own.

• Stockade was able to hit a spear and secure the win.

After the match, Fighter Cat came into the ring and made an announcement that stunned the VPW Faithful in attendance.

“There’s a reason why, I am not competing tonight. A year ago I was diagnosed with scoliosis and as long as it wasn’t bothering me, I was able to compete. It’s bothering me now,” he said.

“After talking with the doctor, I’ve decided that I am retiring from in-ring competition. I just wanted to say, thank you all.”

The fans applauded Fighter Cat before he continued. “I started here in VPW, I trained over the past 6 years, the trainers that gave me a chance…”

The locker room came out to the stage area, with the Absolute Brand and others coming to the ring to give him a hug and thank him.

Once he regained his composure, he continued. “There are some people who aren’t here today who helped me along the way, I appreciate them for what they’ve done. Every trainer that I’ve had, every person I’ve competed against, every person I’ve competed with, all I can say is thank you.”

Grammar Cop then said a few words of his own. “Fighter Cat, you were with me the first day I walked into training, and you’ve been with me ever since. We trained together, we competed against each other, we tagged together, we’ve won championships together, we’ve traveled together. Man, you’ve been my best ally in this business, I love you so much.”

He then acknowledged Fighter Cat’s work both in the ring and behind the scenes before Fighter Cat’s original theme played.

SIX MAN TAG TEAM ACTION
KARLO VICE/PERCIVAL THE THIRD/”DIMEPIECE” AARON ROURKE vs MIKE ANTHONY/DEZMOND COLE/LAWRENCE SPIRAL

After the match, Percival gave his partner a hug, understanding Rourke just made a mistake. Then, he gave Rourke a low blow before almost leaving the ring.

He returned, then attacked Rourke again. With his now former partner on the ground, Percival grabbed a couple of steel chairs from under the ring and used them to injure Rourke, who needed medical attention to head to the back.

KYLER KHAN vs BOBBY ORLANDO

• “Look up!” The match started with Bobby Orlando looking up, then asking Kyler Khan to do the same, before smacking him. Khan decided to return the favor, telling Orlando to look up. Instead, Orlando slapped him. Frustrated, Khan complained about it. He wanted a slap in return, so as he wound up and swung, Orlando ducked and slapped him again.
• After the hijinks, Khan was able to gain control, dominating with various submission moves wearing Orlando down.
• Orlando came back, but made the mistake of heading up to the top rope, allowing Khan to distract Orlando with Bobby Jr. This gave him a chance to roll up Orlando near the ropes and then use them to cheat for the win.

• The bell rang, and as Tibbs stood in the ring with the belt in hand, Eric James jumped on the apron and took his belt back.
• Stockade was able to regain his composure before connecting with a spear to pick up the win.

WINNER AND 2020 KING OF NEW YORK: STOCKADE

After the match, Stockade then speared Kyler Khan, Commissioner Fulton, and Mister Tibbs again before celebrating his victory with the fans.

• Ryan Galeone only knows one speed – overdrive, and this match proved it once again.
• This high paced match was intense and went back and forth, giving Galeone the edge.
• After what looked to be an issue outside the ring between Galeone and Fulton, James thanked his friend but asked him to go to the back, as he was able to do this on his own.
• Back in the ring, James did just that, as he was able to regain control of the match.
• Galeone turned things around and the end was near for the Throwback when Commissioner Fulton sneaked back to the ring and knocked Galeone off the top rope. James saw this, was not happy with Fulton’s presence, but still went for the cover to pick up the win.

vs CHAMPIONS THE CAT AND COP CONNECTION

• Alvarez had vowed in 2019 that he was tired of the Absolute Brand losing and that he and Andre would dominate the tag team division.
• The Cat and Cop Connection were outsized and outpowered in this match. They have worked against Andre before so they knew how to work around him, but Alvarez was a different puzzle altogether.
• The champions came back strong but a miscue gave Alvarez a chance to hit a uranage on Fighter Cat, onto the back of his partner. Moments later, the reign of the Cat and Cop Connection came to an end.

I QUIT MATCH
JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS vs BRYCE DONOVAN

• Once in the ring, Donovan finally had his chance to attack Collins. With the bell rung, the punishment began.
• The battle took place inside the ring until Donovan knocked Collins out. Because he could not say “I Quit”, the match would continue. Tired of his mouth, Donovan would tape it shut, then beat his former partner, to a muffled “MPH MMUIT” which may or may not have been “I Quit.”
• Donovan took the battle outside the ring, and around the Heritage room, giving fans an up close and center view of the action.
• Once back in the ring, Collins gained control. Or he started to, until Donovan came back. With the microphone, Collins said, “I… I… I really want the Stevens to come out right no-” before being cut off. The Even Stevens stormed the ring but were taken down by Donovan, and eventually handcuffed outside the ring.
• Donovan brought a table from the back, set it up at ringside, and was ready to throw Collins onto the table when Collins frantically said “I QUIT” almost a dozen times.

WINNER: BRYCE DONOVAN

While he did win the match, Donovan still grabbed Collins and choke slammed him through the table to the cheers of the fans.

KAREN BAMBAM W/ SILK E SMOOTH vs CHAMPION ARIELA NYX

• At last year’s King of New York, Ariela picked up a win against Karen and was confident that she could do it again.
• The two clashed in a match that would define the VPW Women’s division as both wrestlers gave it 100 percent. The power of BamBam against the power of Nyx.
• With the challenger on the ropes, manager Smooth jumped on the apron to cause a distraction. It worked, as Nyx focused on him instead of her opponent, who finished her off and began the BamBam era.

WINNER AND NEW VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: KAREN BAMBAM

VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
KYLER KHAN w/ COMMISSIONER FULTON vs CHAMPION COACH MAMMONE

• Fulton out to make sure the Influence would be victorious accompanied Khan.
• In his first title defense, Mammone was a house of fire. He charged right at Khan and they tore it up.
• Despite knocking out the official and using a steel chair, Khan was unable to put the champion away. He would take his frustrations out on the now-alert official, and Mammone took advantage of that to pick up the win.

WINNER AND STILL VPW CHAMPION: COACH MAMMONE

After the match, the Influence stormed the ring and attacked Mammone. Delta, Fulton, Khan and Tibbs swarmed about the champion as Eric James was reluctant to help.

The chair was brought back in and set up under Mammone’s arm, leaving Mister Tibbs to finish the job he started in October as he jumped from the corner onto the chair, seriously injuring Mammone’s arm.

Ryan Galeone rushed to the ring with a chair of his own, leaving the Influence to scatter as the medical crew came to the aid of the VPW Champion.

Former champion Tibbs then declared that he was coming for what was his and that Tibbs wasn’t done with Mammone. Senior official Raul Lopez admonished Tibbs, indicated that Mammone may have broken his arm.

Dr. Matthew Heller and his team assisted Mammone to the back as the fans in attendance cheered Mammone in support. The champion was then taken to a local medical facility for further care.
