The show was to be headlined with Jack Tomlinson’s first title defense as new Victory Pro Wrestling champion against Dan Barry.

To kick off the show, VPW announcer Sam L ’Eterna welcomed the fans and thanked them for coming out. Sam L ‘Eterna introduced the new Victory Pro Wrestling Champion, Jack Tomlinson to the VPW faithful.

Tomlinson made his way out to the ring and the crowd was firmly behind him. Tomlinson told the fans that the best part about him winning the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship was that it meant the fans won the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship as well.

Mike Anthony interrupted Jack Tomlinson and wasted no time in getting his point across. Anthony tells Tomlinson he is tired of Jack ducking him. In Anthony’s mind, he won the King of New York and is angry Dan Barry was given a Victory Pro Wrestling Championship match over him.

Dan Barry was next to make his way out to the ring. Barry says that he is a 17-time champion, and one more would be coming his way. Anthony attacks Tomlinson from behind with a chair taking out his leg. Anthony trapped Tomlinson’s leg in a chair and unloaded on it with a chair of his own.

Dan Barry would come down to make the save. VPW referees and the medical team came to assist, and senior official Steven Dumeng would then tell Barry that Tomlinson can’t compete tonight. This made Dan Barry angry, but he had a new goal in mind. Barry challenged Mike Anthony to a no disqualification match in the main event, which was made official. 


PERCY RYAN vs. PHIL CARDIGAN

The match starts with some good, back-and-forth wrestling by both men. Percy Ryan would quickly take out Phil Cardigan with a big move of his own to gain control in the early part of this match. Cardigan would fight back into the match and make his way to the top rope.

Unfortunate for Cardigan, he would get distracted by Francis Kip Stevens and Filipinot Grigio both screaming “YES!” and “NO!” at him. This would allow Percy Ryan to gain the upper hand again. Cardigan would try to fight back, but to no avail. Ryan does a good job at targeting Cardigan’s leg and stopping any offense Cardigan would try to muster.

Finally, Cardigan was able to knock Ryan out with a kick of his own. This would give Cardigan the opening he needed to drink his coffee. Cardigan fired up and took the fight right back to Percy. Cardigan hits a big move on Ryan and pins him for a very close 2-count.

Cardigan would once again get inadvertently distracted by Francis Kip Stevens and Filipinot Grigio. This time, Ryan would be able to capitalize and hit his finishing move on Cardigan for the three-count.

WINNER: PERCY RYAN

After the match, Francis Kip Stevens and Filipinot Grigio help Cardigan out of the ring and to the back.


Sam L ‘Eterna introduces Johnny Collins and Steve Somerset. Collins says that last month they were screwed by VPW management and are visibly angry.

Collins reiterates that they are better than everyone in the VPW locker room and that they are tired of being screwed by VPW management. Somerset gets on the mic and says that Stephen Azure is so mad he didn’t want to show up tonight.

Ryan Galeone would be introduced as an honorary Pretty Likeable member. Bam Sullivan, Mouse, and Kenny Garcia would make their way down to the ring and a six-man tag team match was announced.

PRETTY LIKEABLE vs. BAM SULLIVAN, MOUSE, KENNY GARCIA

Ryan Galeone starts the match out against Bam Sullivan. Johnny Collins would quickly tag in and go toe-to-toe with Bam Sullivan. Sullivan sent Collins flying twice and quickly took the fight to him. Mouse and Somerset would tag in for their respective teams and Mouse continued his team’s momentum, taking the fight right to Somerset.

Galeone would make the save and take out Mouse while he wasn’t the legal man. This wouldn’t be the only time this would happen in the match. Collins would tag in and continued to beat down Mouse. Mouse would try to fight back but to no avail as Galeone would help keep his team in firm control of the match any chance he could.

Collins would make his way to the top rope and attempt a high-risk move. Fortunately for Mouse, he had enough of his whereabouts to move out of the way. Mouse tagged in Kenny Garcia, while Collins tagged in Somerset. Kenny Garcia came in hot and took out both Somerset and Collins.

Galeone would attempt to make the save, but Kenny Garcia would send him over the top rope and crashing down to the floor. Mouse and Sullivan beat up Somerset and just when it looked like they had the match one, Galeone hit an insane high-risk, flip taking all three members of the other team out.

Ryan Galeone and Johnny Collins hit a chokeslam on Mouse and Collins pins him for the win.

WINNERS: PRETTY LIKEABLE

After the match, Johnny Collins says he has proven he is still a leader and a champion. He says he is going to show Dezmond Cole how to be a champion.


VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH: MEGAN MASON vs. GABBY ORTIZ

Megan Mason would make her way to the ring first, followed by Gabby Ortiz. The winner of the match will face VPW Women’s Champion, Valentina Vasquez. The match quickly starts with Ortiz taking the fight to Mason. However, this wouldn’t last long as Mason would quickly go on the offensive.

Mason would beat up on Ortiz more and go for the pin but would get just a two-count. This would just make Mason angry. Ortiz would fight back into the match and hit a big neck breaker for just a two-count.

Megan Mason quickly fights back and hits her finishing move on Gabby Ortiz for the three-count and is the new number one contender to Valentina Vasquez.

WINNER: MEGAN MASON


VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH: DR. COOL AND PAT FITZPATRICK VS FILIPINOT GRIGIO AND FRANCIS KIP STEVENS

Francis Kip Stevens and Dr. Cool would start the match for their respective teams. Dr. Cool quickly takes down Kip, but because of his taunting and playing to the crowd, Kip would gain the upper hand. Kip pins Dr. Cool but only gets a two-count.

Kip tags in his partner, and Grigio continues the offensive on both Dr. Cool and Pat Fitzpatrick. Filipinot Grigio would gain the upper hand and use some of his tactics to help him do just that. Grigio tags back in Kip but Kip gets taken out by both Dr. Cool and Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick controlled a good portion of the match. Fitzpatrick tags in Dr. Cool and Dr. Cool continues on the offensive not letting up on Kip. Kip fights back into the match, taking the fight to Dr. Cool. Fitzpatrick saves Dr. Cool, causing Kip to run shoulder first into the ring post.

After more beating up on Kip, he is finally able to fight back into the match and make the big tag on Filipinot Grigio. Grigio makes his way into the match and takes out both members of the other team. However, they don’t stay down for long.

Dr. Cool and Pat Fitzpatrick are able to hit a double-team move on Grigio for a two-count. They call for the magic killer on Grigio, but he counters. Thanks to a distraction, Fitzpatrick is able to roll up Grigio for the three-count in what was a very competitive match.

WINNERS: DR. COOL AND PAT FITZPATRICK

After the match, Cardigan separates Grigio and Kip who are shoving each other in the ring.


Silk E. Smooth makes his way out to the ring accompanying the Infamous Adam Cain. Smooth says that Brother Greatness won’t be here tonight, and that Brother Greatness has no power to make matches. Alvin Alvarez interrupts and says that he and Smooth have a long history and he wants to beat up Adam Cain.

Dante Drago is next to come out and says he has a problem with Alvin Alvarez because his tag-team partner Kaide Lothbrok isn’t here. VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton makes his way out next and announces a triple threat match.

ADAM CAIN vs. ALVIN ALVAREZ vs. DANTE DRAGO

Drago tries to punch Alvarez to start off the match, but Alvarez counters and lifts Drago in the air. Adam Cain hits Alvin from behind, but to no avail. Alvarez takes the fight to Cain and Drago. Drago is able to hang Alvin up over the top rope and help Cain to subdue Alvarez.

Drago and Cain would beat up on Alvarez for a good portion of the match. Cain uses Drago to beat up Alvarez at times in this match. Drago and Cain begin fighting with each other and this allows Alvarez to regroup. Alvarez takes out both Cain and Drago with a double clothesline.

Alvarez hits a big spinebuster on Drago and pins him. However, the pin gets broken up by Cain. Drago throws Cain over the top rope and onto the floor. Alvarez locks in a sharpshooter on Drago, and Drago tries to fight out of it.

Cain stares at Drago from the outside of the ring and flips him off and leaves. Just when it looks like Alvarez was about to win, two men make their way out to the ring and help Drago. Drago is able to pick up the pinfall victory.

WINNER: DANTE DRAGO


VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: DEZMOND COLE (champion) vs. DOMINICK DENARO

Dominick Denaro makes his way out to the ring first, followed by the champion Dezmond Cole. The match starts with a lock-up between the two men. Cole quickly takes the fight to Denaro, causing him to roll outside of the ring to regroup.

The two men face-off again when Denaro makes his way back into the ring. Cole unloads punches on Denaro and takes him down for a one-count. Denaro is able to gain the upper hand when he sends Cole face first into the ring rope.

Denaro does an excellent job and targeting Cole’s arm. Denaro is able to remain in control using his submission offense as he fends off any offense Cole would try to muster up. Cole attempts a pin roll-up for just a two-count.

After taunting for too long, Dominick Denaro gets knocked down by Dezmond Cole. Cole takes the fight back to Denaro and is able to regain control of the match.

Cole hits his finisher on Denaro for a very close two-count, and the fans are loving this. Cole calls for his finisher one more time, but Denaro is able to lock him in a submission move. Cole is able to escape and hit a Swanton bomb on Denaro to pick up the win.

WINNER: AND STILL VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPION, DEZMOND COLE

After the match, Dezmond Cole and Dominick Denaro show a sign of respect to one another and Denaro raises Cole’s hand.


NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH: DAN BARRY vs. MIKE ANTHONY

Mike Anthony makes his way down to the ring first for tonight’s main event. Dan Barry makes his entrance next, and we are off to a fast start.

ICYMI: #ANDNEW? Not so fast: Collins caught cheating, Coach retains. Full results from VPW 146: Showdown in St. James https://www.victoryprowrestling.com/icymi-andnew-not-so-fast-collins-caught-cheating-coach-retains-full-results-from-showdown-in-st-james/ Mon, 18 Oct 2021 04:08:22 +0000 https://victoryprowrestling.com.thedeadend.net/2012/?p=8492

The show opened up with VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton, accompanied by the Assistant to the VPW Commissioner James M Sullivan, announcing that Mister Tibbs would not be able to perform as he suffered an injury during training.

Jack Tomlinson came out to find out what that meant for him, as he wants to prove he is worthy of a championship. Fulton told him he had the night off. When asked why, the Commish told Jack that he was more concerned about tweets, reposts, twitter, Instagram, and his Jack Pack that in the last three years in VPW, he’s done nothing.

A puzzled Tomlinson was then confronted by Kaide Lothbrok, accompanied by Beau Sullivan. He invited Jack to join him, that he was building something special, and wanted Jack to be a part of his family.

Tomlinson looked to the crowd, who Lothbrok called mindless cattle, and then announced that he has his own family, the Jack Pack, and he would not be letting them down before politely declining. Lothbrok dropped a warning before heading to the back.

THE EVEN STEVENS vs SHOOK CREW

Before the match started, the Assistant to the VPW Commissioner James M Sullivan came to the ring and decided to spice things up a bit after seeing the Even Stevens posting online how they were facing Shook Crew again. Sullivan then added the Coffee Lovers – Francis Kip Stevens and Phillip Cardigan – into this match, making it a triple threat match.

THE EVEN STEVENS vs SHOOK CREW vs THE COFFEE LOVERS

  • The match broke down right away, with all three teams battling for supremacy to start things off as Shook Crew and the Coffee Lovers teamed up against the Even Stevens.
  • Eventually, the underhanded tactics of the Even Stevens helped them turn the tails and gain control.
  • Phillip Cardigan took a sip of coffee while he was down, giving him a boost of energy and giving him and his team a chance to get back into it. This wasn’t enough though as the Stevens brothers were able to steal the win.
  • WINNERS: THE EVEN STEVENS

VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
KAREN BAM BAM w/ Silk E Smooth
vs MARIE VALDOMINA
vs ALL NATURAL ASHLEY
vs THE RED RIGHT HAND MEGAN MASON

  • The match started off with all four women going after each other in a fatal four way. With Megan and Ashley outside the ring, it left the champion and Marie ValDomina in the ring slugging it out.
  • Ashley and Megan went back and forth before Ashley was knocked out of the ring. Megan focused on Karen, who quickly dodged her and escaped the ring. After being chased, Karen turned the tables and left her outside the ring.
  • With Megan out of the way, Karen and Marie started to double team Ashley until a miscue from Marie caused their impromptu alliance to end. Megan then jumped into action and started to go after everyone.
  • Megan was about to knock out Karen with her facebreaker finisher before being distracted by Karen’s manager. This left the champion in the ring with Marie, who she ended up locking in a camel clutch for the win.
  • WINNER: AND STILL VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPION KAREN BAM BAM

THE LADY KILLER PERCY RYAN vs ADAM CAIN

  • As Adam Cain was acknowledging the fans before the match, Percy Ryan ran onto the ropes and connected with a springboard kick, sending Cain tumbling outside the ring.
  • Ryan showed a lot of dominance early on, but he hade one mistake that cost him the match as Cain rolled him up for a quick win.
  • WINNER: ADAM CAIN

After the match, Kaide Lothbrok and his family came to ringside and offered the same arrangement to Percy Ryan that he did earlier in the night to Jack Tomlinson. Unlike the Vestler though, Ryan shook the hand of Kaide. Kaide, Beau Sullivan, and Percy circled the ring, stalking Adam Cain, before Jack Tomlinson stormed the ring to stand by Cain.

The Assistant to the VPW Commissioner James M Sullivan came out again, impressed by what he just saw, and decided to make a tag team match between the Wolves of Asgard and the team of Adam Cain and Jack Tomlinson.

KAIDE LOTHBROK & BEAU SULLIVAN
vs ADAM CAIN & JACK TOMLINSON

  • Kaide and Beau worked on Adam Cain early to establish dominance.
  • Finally, Cain tagged in his fresh partner Tomlinson who was able to stay ahead of his opponents with his power and speed.
  • Cain tagged himself in, and while Tomlinson battled Kaide outside the ring, inside it was Beau that picked up the win.
  • WINNER: KAIDE LOTHBROK AND BEAU SULLIVAN

PLATINUM MAX CASTER vs VSK

  • The match started off simple enough; two experienced performers trying to set the pace. Lots of taunting from Max Caster, returned by VSK, after a couple of lock ups. The match went back and forth early on with neither wrestler gaining any control, answering each other move for move.
  • The match spilled outside with VSK taking a dive, and the former VPW Champion gaining momentum, including a sliding backdrop, until Max was able to see a mistake and capitalize.
  • Caster’s sheer power came into play, and along with his wrestling ability almost picked up the win after a Tower of London cutter from the corner. Caster then taunted the fans with a call back from VSK’s playbook, an attempted super kick. VSK countered with a Spanish fly.
  • After coming back, VSK was caught off guard. With the referee distracted, Caster grabbed his chain, then knocked VSK out, but VSK kicked out.
  • VSK went for his dudebuster finisher, but Caster wiggled out of it. He then shoved VSK into the corner, where he almost knocked Referee Steven Dumeng out. VSK turned around, ate a super kick from Caster. Platinum Max then went to the top for a flying elbow drop for the win.
  • WINNER: PLATINUM MAX CASTER

NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH
CHAMPION ERIC JAMES VS RYAN GALEONE

While Eric James was the recognized champion, Galeone had stolen the title belt earlier in the year. As the challenger intently locked on the entrance, champion James stormed the ring from the other side wielding a bat.

  • The match was brutal from the start with James pulling rigging rope from under the ring, using it as a weapon to whip the challenger. Eventually, Galeone would use the rope as a weapon himself, using it to choke out James, hanging him from over the ring ropes.
  • The action did not stay in the ring long, as both competitors fought outside the ring. The action spilled to the production table, where Galeone launched James like a lawn dart. James came back, using a garbage pail to blind Galeone before using a chair to beat the garbage pail – and Galeone.
  • The two battled into the back and into the outside bleachers where the injured Dezmond Cole was watching. Galeone launched James into the protective glass, then hit a power move onto the bleachers, before James came back and used one of Cole’s crutches against Galeone.
  • The action returned back to the ring, fighting their way through the crowd. A few chairs were introduced along with a wooden door. Galeone remained dominant, but as he went to finish James, the champion slipped from Galeone’s grasps and drove him threw the prone door before covering the challenger.
  • WINNER: AND STILL VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPION ERIC JAMES

VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPIONS THE ABSOLUTE BRAND w/ Silk E Smooth vs INSANE ROCKERZ

  • Before the match started, Karlo Vice told Alvin Alvarez they didn’t want to embarrass the Absolute Brand. He laid out the plan – the bell would ring, Alvin would lay down, Karlo would cover Alvin, and there would be new champions. The bell rang, and that’s what happened, except Alvarez kicked out at 2.
  • The tag team champions started off strong with power and strength. Andre was tagged in and proceeded to brutalize Karlo. Things did not change when Mike Anthony was tagged in, as he was also in trouble. But with Karlo on the outside, he distracted Andre causing problems inside with Alvarez trying to tag him in with the empty corner.
  • The Rockerz then double teamed Alvin, taking turns on his leg to wear him down before Andre was finally tagged in.
  • Silk E Smooth saw an opportunity to get involved. He gave Alvin one of the tag team titles. Andre saw this and tried to take the belt away, causing a bit of confusion. Andre and Alvin started yelling at each other, Andre was distracted by Silk, and Alvin used it as a weapon.
  • WINNERS VIA DISQUALIFICATION: THE INSANE ROCKERZ

Things got heated after the match between Alvin and Andre after the match regarding Silk’s involvement. Alvin tried to reason with Andre, saying that it’s a matter of winning and keeping the titles at all costs. For the second night in a row, Andre grabbed his title and left without his partner and manager.

VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION COACH MAMMONE vs JOHNNY “PRETTY BOY” COLLINS

As ring announcer Rob Express was going to introduce the challenger, Collins demanded that Mammone be introduced first to try to get into the mind of the current VPW Champion.

  • The match started off pretty hot for Coach Mammone, with the challenger on the defense. After a flurry of offense from the champion, Collins made it to the outside to counsel with the Even Stevens. Mammone then jumped from the top rope to neutralize all three for the time being.
  • With Mammone in control, Steve Somerset grabbed a microphone and distracted the champion. Collins took over with a spear to turn the momentum into his favor. From there he dissected Mammone but was unable to pick up the win.
  • Mammone was ready for his big splash sequence but as he ran around the ring, he was tripped by Stephen Azure. This brought the momentum back to Collins. Collins went into coach’s jacket to grab his whistle, but took too long to taunt the fans, giving Mammone a chance to regroup.
  • The action went back and forth between Mammone and Collins. The champion connected with a full nelson bomb and was ready for the win but Somerset put the leg of Collins on the rope for the break. Meanwhile, with the referee distracted, Azure gave Collins a chain which he used to knock out Mammone.
  • WINNER: AND NEW VICTORY PRO WRESTLI…

As Johnny Collins was declared the winner, Referee Steven Dumeng noted that Collins still had the chain in his hand from when he knocked Mammone out and immediately reversed his decision.

VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton came out next to announce that this match would resume… next month at Disorderly Conduct.

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

Ryan Galeone and Eric James collide at VPW 146: The Showdown in St. James https://www.victoryprowrestling.com/ryan-galeone-and-eric-james-collide-at-vpw-146-the-showdown-in-st-james/ Mon, 20 Sep 2021 13:00:00 +0000 https://victoryprowrestling.com.thedeadend.net/2012/?p=8451 It was 2019. Eric James was riding high as not only the VPW New York State Champion but as part of the group known as The Influence.

On the other side of the spectrum, Ryan Galeone was a fan favorite who was rapidly working his way up the rankings in Victory Pro Wrestling.

The match was made and Galeone was set to clash with James for the New York State Championship. James had told his Influence cohorts that he did not require their assistance as he was confident he would vanquish Galeone on his own.

However Influence member and Victory Pro Wrestling Commissioner Kevin Fulton lacked the confidence that James had in himself and came ringside and assisted the champion, albeit against his wishes.

After that match, and in the months to come, Eric James realizing his associates did not have the faith in him that he had in himself, he left the group behind and set out on his own to prove to them and the VPW Faithful that he didn’t need anyone else to be a successful fighting champion.

Fast forward to 2021. Galeone feels that his efforts in VPW were being overlooked and over shadowed by undeserving contenders and new competitors. Galeone had grown bitter with an ugly mean streak.

At VPW 144: The Gold Rush Rumble in August, after his match with Eric James, Galeone became unhinged.

Attacking James after bell maliciously with a chair and stealing the New York State championship belt from James and sidelining him for VPW 145: Never Forget September 11th.

This bring us to Oct 9, where Eric James aims for vengeance while Ryan Galeone seeks validation when they have The Show Down In St. James.
