Before we start, Victory Pro Wrestling wants to with you and yours a happy 2021!

Now, here’s a quick recap of where VPW left off in March of 2020.

• Phillip Cardigan debuted in VPW against Percy Ryan, who had just announced that he was done catering to the fans and that he was “The One” people came to see.
• Eric James successfully defended the New York State championship against Ryan Galeone… and the Influence added thug Johnny Clash.
• Megan Mason established herself as the top star in the Women’s Division to challenge Karen Bam Bam for the VPW Women’s Championship
• The Absolute Brand continued their dominance in the VPW Tag Team division after beating the Even Stevens
• Lance Anderson finished off the shortened year with a winning record of 2-1 after defeating Lawrence Spiral
• Coach Mammone whipped Kyler Khan in a brutal match to successfully defend the VPW Championship

What does 2021 bring?

First, VPW would like to announce the first show of 2021 is the King of New York to be held on Saturday January 30. However, due to the safety measures currently in place by the State of New York, we can’t do a live wrestling show.

Yet.

So what can we expect at the King of New York show? “We are looking to put together original content for our fans,” said new VPW owner John E Radioo. “It’s going to be a collaboration of ideas and concepts between myself and the roster of Victory Pro Wrestling.”

When asked about what exactly to expect, Radioo said that VPW would be making announcements over the next few weeks. “We know this does not replace wrestling, but we are looking forward to entertain the VPW Faithful.”

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.”

LAWRENCE SPIRAL vs LAID BACK LANCE ANDERSON

• Lawrence Spiral tried to lock up early with Lance Anderson, but Anderson was super casual.
• A thumb wrestling match broke out in a wrestling contest, which Spiral won. After that, he insisted that they start their wrestling match now.
• Spiral picked up momentum but after a miscue in the corner, Anderson took him for an airplane spin. A dizzy Anderson then fell, giving Spiral a headbutt, to pick up the win.

WINNER: LANCE ANDERSON

ANASTASIA MORNINGSTAR vs ENVY vs FACEBREAKER MEGAN MASON

• Mason and Envy decided to team up against Anastasia early on, double teaming her until she spilled outside the ring.
• Envy and Mason then turned to each other and started going at it.
• Silk E Smooth, manager of Karen BamBam, came to the ring looking to scout the women during the match.
• Anastasia came back to action and her and Mason went at it for a bit.
• The match came to an end after Envy took a Facebreaker from Mason before getting pinned.

WINNER: MEGAN MASON

JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS (w/ the Even Stevens) vs “THE NOTORIOUS” DEZMOND COLE

• Collins started by giving Cole a mirror as a gift, before attacking him. Cole returned the volley with high impact moves.
• The Even Stevens distracted the referee as the other would assist Collins throughout the match.
• Collins tried to submit Cole with a triangle lock but the Notorious one escaped and came back on fire. After a block buster, Collins spilled to the outside. Cole then took this moment to fly.
• Once back in the ring, Stephen Azure held Cole back, distracting him. Collins then rolled up Cole with an O’Connor roll and hooked the tights to steal the win.

WINNER: JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS

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.

Percy Ryan then called out and asked anyone to come out from the back. Phillip Cardigan answered the call, introducing himself to the fans, walking to the ring with a tumbler and letting the fans know he had a 401k, insurance, and great medical.

PERCY RYAN vs PHILLIP CARDIGAN

• Cardigan started off strong against Ryan, celebrating with the fans with a dance in the ring as Ryan was on the outside.
• Once with the advantage, Percy Ryan focused on Phillip Cardigan’s leg, grounding him.
• Cardigan grabbed his tumbler and “caffeinated up” to regain control
• Looking to finish off Percy Ryan, Phillip Cardigan rolled out of the corner for what looked like an Honor Roll DDT, but Ryan had Cardigan’s tumbler in his hand and used it as a weapon.

WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: PHILLIP CARDIGAN

After the match, Percy Ryan focused on Cardigan’s leg again, grapevining it

VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION ERIC JAMES vs THE ADRENALINE RUSH RYAN GALEONE vs JOHNNY CLASH

• The triple threat started off with Kyler Khan dragging Eric James outside the ring and beating him around the ring as Johnny Clash took on Ryan Galeone inside the ring. Khan’s assault continued, leading James to the locker room area leaving Galeone and Clash in the ring.
• The two heavyweights went back and forth, with Clash showing power and ruthlessness and Galeone showing uncanny agility for a man his size.
• The action went back and forth until Clash went for a shortcut and threw a couple of steel chairs in the ring. As he was about to use them, Eric James returned to the ring
• Clash attempted to use the chair, but James dropkicked the chair into Clash which was the knockout blow.

WINNER AND STILL NEW YORK STATE CHAMPION: ERIC JAMES

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

• The champions did not get a proper introduction before the match. They stormed the ring, still hot from how last month’s show ended with them being attacked by Johnny Collins and Steve Somerset, so they started outside the ring with an attack on the challengers.
• 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.

WINNERS AND STILL VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE ABSOLUTE BRAND

TRIPLE THREAT
KARLO VICE vs MIKE ANTHONY vs BRYCE DONOVAN

• Before the match started, Karlo Vice tried to create an alliance with Mike Anthony. When he was rejected, he tried to make one with Bryce Donovan. He accepted, and Vice went for a front kick, but Donovan saw it coming.
• Donovan and Anthony took turns teeing off against Vice before dumping him outside the ring, giving them the focus in the ring.
• Karlo Vice re-entered for battle and took a beating for hit, but escaped the clutches of Anthony, and just in time, too. Donovan charged with a spear that took Anthony out.
• The sheer power of Bryce Donovan kept him in the match but the resilience of his opponents kept them going. But after being knocked out the ring, Anthony was able to connect with a ripcord clothesline and cover Karlo Vice for the win.

WINNER: MIKE ANTHONY

THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING
VPW CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION COACH MAMMONE vs THE INFLUENCE’S KYLER KHAN

• During the introductions, Khan attacked Coach. Mammone, on his way to the ring, was ready for his challenger as they battled outside the ring to the concession tables. They continued to battle until the referee was somehow able to guide them back to the ring to start the match.
• Coach was able to start the match strong and in control until he went over the top rope. While trying to skin the cat, Khan took advantage and choked him out.
• The two battled outside the ring, with Khan working on the champion and wearing him down before throwing him back inside, working on the arm the Influence broke in January.
• Khan pulled out Coach’s whistle and ran the ropes, stomping Mammone’s arm. Coach kicked him and took control again, fighting back with one arm.
• Trying to regain momentum, Kyler Khan took his belt off to use it as a weapon but didn’t get to use it.
• Mammone connected with a Stinger splash in the corner, then worked on Khan some more. He went to the well one too many times though, with a second splash in the corner thwarted with Khan pulling the referee in the way.
• 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.

KING OF NEW YORK SEMI-FINALS
NEW YORK STATE CHAMPION ERIC JAMES vs STOCKADE

• In the tournament, the championship would not be on the line. The match started off with both combatants giving it their all.
• During the match, Stockade tried to pull the mat from ringside up. At one point, James put it back down to the delight of the fans. Later in the match, the mat was pulled back again – this time Stockade to give Eric James a piledriver, but he reversed it. He then gave Stockade a back drop onto the unprotected floor.
• The champion was on offense, and on his way to advancing hitting not one, not two, but three top rope elbow drops but Stockade kept coming back.
• Stockade was able to hit a spear and secure the win.

WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE FINALS : STOCKADE

KING OF NEW YORK SEMI-FINALS
JAY DELTA (w/ Puppet Jay Delta) vs “LAID BACK” LANCE ANDERSON

• Before the match, Anderson wanted to share a drink with Delta. Delta shoved the drink from his hand, but Anderson held on and turned it around, hitting Delta in the head to start the match.
• Delta took control, ending the hijinks of Anderson, assaulting him in the corner.
• Looking to finish Anderson, Delta attacked him, but Anderson dropped down, leaving Delta to spill outside the ring, busting his head on the railing.
• Anderson pinned Puppet Jay Delta for a two count, but then the real Jay Delta came back into the ring with a discus elbow and DDT to end the match.

WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE FINALS : JAY DELTA

ANASTASIA MORNINGSTAR/NEVAEH CHANTELLE vs ERIS SPIRAL/ENVY

• Last month, Anastasia and Nevaeh had some issues during their match. Teaming up again, they looked to put those differences aside.
• Eris Spiral returned to VPW for the first time since getting married.
• Envy was a spitfire, giving her all during the match and showing the fans she was not playing games. Spiral was excited to be back and showed she was ready to compete. On the other side, Anastasia and Nevaeh played the one-up game, tagging themselves in and trash talking each other instead of focusing on their match.
• While not exactly the greatest game plan, their one-upsmanship helped them somehow pick up the win.

WINNERS: NEVEAH CHANTELLE/ANASTASIA MORNINGSTAR

After the match, Nevaeh and Anastasia kept the trash talking going with each of them taking credit for the win.

MISTER TIBBS vs BRYCE DONOVAN vs GRAMMAR COP

• This triple threat match started with Mister Tibbs stalling by slipping in and out of the ring before finally getting thrown into the ring by Fighter Cat. They then threw out Tibbs and went after each other.
• The two went back and forth until Fulton got involved, letting Tibbs come back and get involved. The dominant Tibbs controlled both Donovan and Cop with kicks.
• Grammar Cop came back into the ring on fire, lighting up both Tibbs and Donovan, focusing on the former VPW Champion, who was able to stay alive.
• After taking out Donovan, Mister Tibbs turned to focus on Grammar Cop, who connected with a rolling DDT to steal the win.

WINNER: GRAMMAR COP

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

• At first glance, you’d think the biggest ego would belong to Karlo Vice, but Aaron Rourke looked to overshadow his partner. During the match, there would be another shift.
• Anthony took the beating early on, but was able to fight back and keep the hope alive for his team.
• Cole tagged in and showed his dominance until things got out of control with everyone getting a chance to hit the spotlight.
• The beginning of the end came when Rourke did a beautiful flip into the corner to connect an elbow, but instead of Dezmond Cole, it was Percival the Third who he hit. This gave Cole the edge to pick up the win.

WINNERS: MIKE ANTHONY/LAWRENCE SPIRAL/DEZMOND COLE

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.

WINNER: KYLAR KHAN

VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
PRETTY LIKEABLE (Johnny “Pretty Boy”Collins/Steve Somerset) vs THE ABSOLUTE BRAND (Alvin Alvarez/Giant Andre w/ Silk E Smooth)

• Before the match started, Collins and Somerset attacked the champions to get an advantage.
• There were lots of tags from Collins and Somerset, keeping Alvarez down and trying to keep Andre out. Despite a couple of legitimate tags, referee James Balash did not see them, so Andre stayed out as Collins and Somerset continued to dominate.
• Once Andre was in, it was time for the champions to take control, but the challengers persisted. At one point, Collins tried to introduce the tag team championship belt but Silk E Smooth intervened, giving Andre and Alvarez the advantage and the eventual win.

WINNER AND STILL VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE ABSOLUTE BRAND

After the match, the challengers attacked Alvarez and Andre with low blows, then focused on Smooth before kicking him as well.

EVIE DE LA ROSA vs “FACEBREAKER” MEGAN MASON

• Evie de la Rosa made her VPW debut in incredible fashion, controlling the Facebreaker during the early parts of the match.
• Mason capitalized on a mistake from her opponent and eventually connected with her finish.

WINNER: MEGAN MASON

After the match, Mason said, “I seem to keep beating every girl that steps in this ring with me. But there’s one girl who has eluded me, one girl who has exactly what I want… Karen BamBam.”

She then challenged Karen BamBam for the title.

KING OF NEW YORK FINALS

During intermission, ring announcer John E Radioo announced that Jay Delta was not cleared to perform and that in his place would be Lance Anderson, Delta’s opponent.

STOCKADE vs LANCE ANDERSON

As Anderson was approaching the ring, members of the Influence attacked him. Commissioner Fulton then announced that since a member of the Influence won, a member of Influence would replace Delta and that would be Mister Tibbs.

With the announcement, Kyler Khan attacked Stockade from behind. Eric James was at ringside protesting the attack, and Mister Tibbs grabbed his New York State championship belt.

• 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.

What will the fallout be when Victory Pro Wrestling presents its anniversary show Blood Sweat and 14 Years March 7?
