“THE THROWBACK” ERIC JAMES vs MIKE ANTHONY

Eric James made his way down to the ring to open the show. He praised the crowd and the locker room saying that there’s not a whole lot left for him to do at Victory Pro Wrestling. Mike Anthony interrupts him and tells James that he knows that James is the guy in VPW. Anthony challenges James to a match to prove that he will be the guy in Victory Pro Wrestling after beating Eric James.

The match starts off with a lock-up between the two men. After some chain wrestling and a feeling-out process of sorts, Anthony was able to gain the upper hand briefly. James, however, would hit a cross-body from the top rope and pin Anthony for a two-count. James followed this up with a drop kick, sending Anthony to the outside.

James attempts a suicide dive, but Anthony is able to stop him in his tracks. Anthony hangs James up on the middle rope and regains control in this match. Anthony beats up on James for a good portion of the match. Every time James tried to counter, Anthony was one step ahead. 

The two men start exchanging punches in the ring, which ends with James gaining the upper hand. James makes his way to the top rope, but Anthony meets him up there. Anthony hits a superplex from the top rope onto James and the two crash and burn in the ring. After distracting the referee, Anthony low-blows James and rolls him up to pin him for the victory.

Ryan turned his attention to Dr. Cool, who was trying to note that was not one of VPW’s camera staff.

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?
