Since November of 2021, the faction of Pretty Likeable – Johnny “Pretty Boy” Collins and the Even Stevens, Steve Somerset and Stephen Azure – has been running things at Victory Pro Wrestling.
Victory Pro Wrestling presented Disorderly Conduct. This was the beginning of the championship reigns for Pretty Likeable. The Stevens and Collins would win all the gold that night in their respective matches.
First, the Even Stevens became Victory Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions by beating the Absolute Brand – Alvin Alvarez and the Giant Andre. Then in the main event, Collins became the Victory Pro Wrestling Champion by beating Coach Mammone.
At VPW Devastation the next month, Collins would successfully defend his Victory Pro Wrestling Championship over Coach Mammone, where with help from the Even Stevens, Collins would go on to retire Mammone in the process. The Stevens would also successfully defend their titles over the former champions, The Absolute Brand.
The reigns between the Even Stevens and Johnny Collins would be parallel. At VPW Before the Storm in February, Collins would defend the title against Mister Tibbs and have help from the Stevens. The Stevens would continue their reign as well, fending off The Coffee Lovers.
Through all of their title defenses, one thing remained constant. Johnny Collins needed the Even Stevens, and the Even Stevens needed Johnny Collins. Even in a no-disqualification match against Mister Tibbs at VPW 150: Blood Sweat and 16 Years, the Even Stevens would find a way to distract and help Collins defeat Mister Tibbs.
At VPW Power Grab in May, Even Stevens successfully defended their Victory Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championships over Security Inc by securing Malcom Moss with handcuffs, and Collins would beat Tomlinson by using cheating tactics courtesy of the Even Stevens.
However, after Collins defeated Tomlinson, Victory Pro Wrestling Commissioner Kevin Fulton was furious. Fulton stated that at VPW Power Grab if the Even Stevens didn’t successfully defend their Victory Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championships, they would be banned from ringside in the main event, where Collins would once again face Tomlinson.
At VPW Under Pressure, we would see how well Pretty Likeable did on their own. The Even Stevens took on a mystery team, which turned out to be the returning Shook Crew. Even with Collins trying to intervene, Shook Crew would end up becoming the new Victory Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champion by defeating the Stevens, which meant that the Even Stevens would be banned from the main event between Johnny Collins and Jack Tomlinson.
Let’s not take away from the main event. Tomlinson and Collins had an incredible match. However, despite being barred from ringside the Even Stevens still tried to get involved. At first it looked like business as usual, with Azure distracting the referee and Somerset coming from the other side of the building. This time, Tomlinson had backup and the numbers game was gone. Shook Crew made their way out to the ring to aid Tomlinson by beating the Stevens and dragging them to the back.
Jack Tomlinson would go on to defeat Johnny Collins for the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship.
From being at the top of the mountain of Victory Pro Wrestling to cheating to win all of their matches and keep their titles, to crashing and burning to the bottom once the playing field was leveled.
Is this the end of Pretty Likeable?
