HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Victory Pro Wrestling began in 2005 in an Amityville warehouse with a small training program and a vision: to build the future stars of professional wrestling.
In 2006, we held our first live event at VFW Post 4927 in Centereach. A few years later, we expanded to the Deer Park Community Center, a venue rich in wrestling history that hosted promotions like Ring of Honor, Evolve, and Dragon Gate. Our training camp also relocated to Deer Park, with international superstar Ricky Reyes joining as head trainer.
We have the distinct honor of hosting the last sanctioned professional wrestling event in Deer Park before parting ways with the community center at the end of 2014. We continued to perform in Centereach in front of standing room only audiences.
Six years later, the world came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic in 2020, the VFW post in Centereach sold its building and moved to a smaller facility in Port Jefferson Station. When it was time to return to action, we needed a new home—and in July 2021, we found one. Victory Pro Wrestling launched the post-COVID era with VPW Homecoming in front of an energized crowd at the Sports Arena in St. James.
In 2022, we made history by crossing state lines for the first time, performing in Portland, Connecticut, for a fundraising event in partnership with the Town of Portland and the American Cancer Society.
At the end of 2022, we moved into our new home at Pro Game Athletics in Bay Shore—just minutes from the heart of Bay Shore and Islip, the Westfield South Shore Mall, and the Bay Shore Marina.
Victory Pro Wrestling has a rich legacy in Long Island professional wrestling, performing in Centereach, Deer Park, Babylon, North Babylon, West Babylon, Islip, Bohemia Ronkonkoma, Uniondale, Brooklyn, and Queens. We have celebrated hundreds of birthdays with our fans, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities, and continue to deliver high-energy, family-friendly entertainment to the VPW faithful.
