When the Notorious Dezmond Cole debuted in Victory Pro Wrestling, he impressed the fans as well as the VPW Management team.
“He really has something here.”
“Wow, that was amazing!”
“This kid is going to be big some day.”
Getting a chance to meet some of VPW’s top stars, Cole was overwhelmed. He used to come to Victory Pro Wrestling shows as a fan, both at the Deer Park Community Center and the VFW Post in Centereach.
Cole looked up to Eric James, back then he was known as EJ Risk, and some of the classic stars of VPW. He followed along with everyone else the stories and matches featuring Conflux, Ricky Reyes, VSK, and more.
To know that Cole was in the ring with some of the talents he looked up to was mindblowing. And that he was rising to the top fast? Phenomenal.
Then… COVID hit. The world stopped. You know the story.
But with this break from sports in New York, Cole ventured out. Underground shows, travelling to other states, and getting the opportunity to continue to build his craft, Dezmond Cole shed the “Notorious” name from his identity and became “Da Big Boofa.”
It was Da Big Boofa that skyrocketed when wrestling returned to Southern New York in the first show back since COVID struck. In front of a packed Sports Arena, Cole started to shine once again.
Tragedy struck when he injured his knee. The initial speculation was not too positive, but Cole kept his head up and hoped for the best. The doctor returned, advised Cole he would be out of action, but that Cole would not need surgury.
What could potentially kept him out from wrestling for a year turned into three months. Dezmond Cole was back, and he was on fire once again.
An intense and personal lumberjack match featured Cole picking up the win against Percy Ryan. Later that night he decided he was not going to wait. Cole challenged Eric James for the New York State Championship.
At Blood Sweat and 16 Years, he took his rightful place as New York State Champion, along VPW legends like Mister Tibbs, Eric James, and VSK.
At Power Grab, Dominick Denaro became the number one contender for the New York State championship in an impressive debut, but that match will not take place until Homecoming: Volume 2 in July.
Cole released a video, calling out anyone in the locker room. No, anywhere in or out of VPW, Cole called everyone out.
