VPW fans chose the stipulations for several matches, but the action started before the doors even opened.
BEFORE THE SHOW
During a taping of Before the Barricade before the show, The Even Stevens and Pretty Boy Johnny Collins were being interviewed. When asked about why he attacked Bryce Collins at the Queen of New York, Collins was jumped by Collins, who stormed the set.
Security had to rush on scene to break the fight up as Collins threatened to sue everyone from Beyond the Barricade, VPW, VPW Security, the VFW post, the fans outside for allowing the attack to happen.
FANS’ CHOICE ’19
COACH’S CORNER
The show started off with Coach Mammone welcoming the crowd and bringing Stockade on as his guest. Later in the evening, they would team up to face The Influence in what the fans voted for as a Tag Team Doors match.
Cue VPW Champion Mister Tibbs and King of New York Jay Delta, lead by VPW Commissioner Kevin Fulton. They focused on how later that night they would be victorious.
FANS CHOICE MATCH
Kyler KHAN vs Jersey Muscle Steve Gibki
- The votes were evenly split between Blindfold match and Falls Count Anywhere match
- The returning Kyler KHAN showed that, while blindfolded, he was not against cheating and raising the blindfold to see where Gibki was.
- Gibki relied on the fans to help direct him to where KHAN was throughout the match.
- The action did spill outside, but action turned to the worst for him as he attempted to use a steel chair, but instead of hitting Gibki, he hit the ring post, which hurt himself in the end
- Gibki finally got a grip of KHAN and hit him with his Feel Good Drag finish
WINNER: JERSEY MUSCLE STEVE GIBKI
FATAL FOUR WAY
The Giant Andre vs Pervical the Third vs Jack Tomlinson vs Lawrence Spiral
- Percival, Tomlinson, and Spiral created an alliance to try to wear down Andre
- The numbers game did wear down Andre, with Tomlinson leading the charge
- A mistake from Tomlinson gave Andre a chance to finish him with his double choke slam
WINNER: THE GIANT ANDRE
FANS CHOICE MATCH
Laid Back Lance Anderson vs Notorious Dezmond Cole
- The votes from fans made this match a Best Two out of Three falls match
- The match moved fast, and with Anderson on the outside, Cole looked to fly. The Laid Back one jumped on the apron and just stood there which startled Cole. This distracted him enough to have Anderson roll him up for the three count for the first fall.
- Anderson celebrated outside the ring, casually strolling while getting counted out by the referee, giving Cole the second fall.
- Anderson jumped back into the ring for the third fall, which was scored when Cole connected with a leapfrog for the win.
WINNER 2 FALLS TO 1: NOTORIOUS DEZMOND COLE
FANS CHOICE MATCH
Pretty Likeable (The Even Stevens & Johnny Collins)
vs The Cat and Cop Connection & Bryce Donovan
Before the match started, The Even Stevens introduced Collins, who explained the social media buzz was about how he betrayed Bryce Donovan, when in fact he was bullied. When Collins kicked Donovan at the Queen of New York, he wasn’t just kicking Donovan, but all the fans, and he liked it.
- The votes from fans made this match a Survivor Series style match.
- The first elimination came after Collins sprayed something in the eyes of Grammar Cop, which left him prey to a roll up and a pin.
- Fighter Cat was on fire, but he was eliminated next. He leaped over the top to knock down the Even Stevens, but Collins slipped under the ring. He rolled Somerset into the ring but as he was going in, Collins, from under the ring, held Fighter Cat down, leaving him to be counted out.
- Despite being outnumbered, Donovan was able to slam Somerset and eliminate him.
- He was then able to eliminate Azure, who charged him in the ring but was caught with a roll-up.
- This left Donovan and Collins in the ring. Collins quickly used the tag team championship left at ringside to try to score the win, but to no avail. Donovan was ready to mount a brutal offense on his former partner, but Collins shoved him into the referee. This gave The Even Stevens a chance to connect with the Steven Flow, giving Collins the pinfall victory.
WINNER AND SOLE SURVIVOR: PRETTY BOY JOHNNY COLLINS
FANS CHOICE MATCH
Absolute Alvin Alvarez vs Ryan Galeone
- The votes made this match a lumberjack match.
- Galeone and Alvarez tore each other up inside the ring, and the lumberjacks helped keep the action inside.
- The action outside the ring eventually spilled inside, with all the lumberjacks finally just exploding and fighting in the ring.
- Galeone connected with a springboard splash to everyone in the ring, and was ready to finish Alvarez.
- With the Absolute one in control, DA Black Sheep stormed the ring to confront him. He rolled his chain up and was about to deck Alvarez when he pivoted and knocked Galeone out instead. This was the edge Alvarez needed to pick up the win.
WINNER: ABSOLUTE ALVIN ALVAREZ
FANS CHOICE MATCH
VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Ariela Nyx vs….
- With Eris Rayne, Queen of New York Jayel Cotto, and the Daughter of Death Adrianna in the ring, the vote was announced with Eris Rayne getting the championship opportunity.
- With Nyx and Rayne circling each other in the ring, Cotto and Adrianna walked to the back, then stood to watch the action, before storming the ring and attacking the champion and challenger. After the assault, Nyx regained control and sent Cotto and Adrianna packing.
The champion then called out Cotto and Adrianna, that if “Thing 1 and Thing 2” wanted to get involved, they could get a piece of her and Rayne right now in a tag team match.
- This impromptu tag team match started off with Nyx and Rayne in control, but that ended quickly with Cotto and Adrianna taking control.
- Rayne showed she could truly take a beating but eventually too much would be the end. She was able to make the tag before it was too late, giving the VPW Women’s Champion a chance to even the odds.
- A mistake gave Cotto a chance to cover the champion, and bad ring positioning gave the Queen of New York a chance to use the ropes to get extra leverage for the win.
WINNERS: DAUGHTER OF DEATH ADRIANNA & QUEEN OF NEW YORK JAYEL COTTO
FANS CHOICE MATCH
The Influence (King of New York Jay Delta & VPW Champion Mister Tibbs)
vs Coach Mammone & Stockade
- The fans voted 64% for a tag team doors match, where both team members must be thrown through a table to end the match.
- Stockade and Coach Mammone controlled the early parts of the match, but the Influence was able to keep things in check.
- At one point during the match, Stockade and Mister Tibbs fought into the locker room area, leaving Mammone and Delta in the ring. With Puppet Jay Delta getting involved, Mammone pulled out a smaller table and put the puppet through it!
- Mammone set up Delta on a table and was ready to eliminate him, but Fulton got involved, distracting him enough for the King of New York to throw him through, eliminating him.
- The two on one battle continued with the numbers game against Stockade, but the Deathmatch Asgardian fought back and took a series of vicious chair shots from both Tibbs and Delta.
- With Delta holding Stockade, Tibbs went for a super kick, but a miscue left him to kick Delta instead, almost throwing him through the table. Stockade then charged through both Delta and Tibbs, eliminating them both by sending them through.
WINNERS: COACH MAMMONE & STOCKADE
With the VPW Championship in hand, Stockade celebrated, setting up his match against Mister Tibbs at the Gold Rush Rumble.
