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.

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?

Joining with Silk E Smooth, the re-named Absolute Brand did as advertised, they dominated the field and finally became VPW Tag Team Champions after defeating the Cat and Cop Connection in 2020.

One of the most dominant tag teams to hit VPW since Eclipse, Andre and Alvin topped the scales at over 600 pounds. Between Alvin’s power game and Andre’s brute force, the sky was the limit.

With VPW on hiatus for the pandemic, the Brand waited it out. At Homecoming in 2021, they came back together with a vengeance and determination to prove they were still the best tag team in Victory Pro Wrestling.

However, at the Gold Rush Rumble, there was no Alvin Alvarez. Giant Andre was left to fend for himself in the Gold Rush Rumble match. At September’s Never Forget, manager Silk E Smooth helped his team to victory over Shook Crew with a cheap shot to Bobby Orlando which Andre did not take kindly to.

After the match, Andre, Silk, and Alvin argued until Andre left his teammates in the ring.

At October’s Showdown at St James, Smooth got involved again. This time, his deed cost the champions the match via disqualification. Again, Andre, Silk, and Alvin tried to talk it out after their match.

The Absolute Brand will be defending the VPW Tag Team Championships against the Even Stevens at November’s Disorder Conduct. The Stevens are a team they’ve beaten before, but with a win in October, the Stevens have somehow found themselves in the title picture once again.

What will happen when Victory Pro Wrestling returns to action on November 13th?

It was at the March show in 2018 where Alvin Alvarez would make his VPW debut in a losing effort against Coach Mammone. The match ended with Mammone wrapping up Alvarez in a small package to secure the win.

The show also featured the debut of Bryce Donovan. Teaming with Johnny Collins for the first time ever, the two faced #TeamAdams in a losing effort with the then-VPW Tag Team Champions retaining the titles.

Donovan and Collins would eventually capture the tag team championships, and Alvarez would enter a feud with Stockade later in the year.

Alvarez wanted to become a champion and in 2019 saw the Cat and Cop Connection as the team to beat, but he needed a partner. He found the Giant Andre who had been having a rough year. His manager Jacob Hendrix was banned from VPW in a Deportation Match featuring Mister Tibbs. Alvarez and Andre hit it off as one of the most dominant tag teams in VPW. Eventually, the two would become VPW Tag Team Champions at the 2020 King of New York, just months before the pandemic.

At the 2019 Gold Rush Rumble, the GOATEST of all time Bobby Orlando made his VPW debut. His appearances were entertaining, but he would not be picking up the winning end of the purse. However, he did score a win at Disorderly Conduct inside the confines of a steel cage match that was scheduled for Collins to meet Donovan. Instead, Collins had the Even Stevens replace him in what Collins thought would be a 2-on-1 encounter. Donovan called his best friend Bobby Orlando to even the odds.

Outside of VPW, Orlando and Donovan are known as Shook Crew, along with Platinum Max Caster. But that night, they were not billed as Shook Crew, just two competitors teaming up to face a greater evil. This would be the only time they would team up in Victory Pro Wrestling until VPW 143: Homecoming in July 2021.

And after earning the right to face the Absolute Brand at VPW 144: Gold Rush Rumble, it’s time to see if Shook Crew can uncrown the Absolute Brand.

What will happen with Victory Pro Wrestling returns to the Sports Arena in St James?
