Vendetta Pro - Casino Royale 2012

Casino Royale 2012 is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by Vendetta Pro Wrestling and co-promoted with Traditional Championship Wrestling, in association with the Cauliflower Alley Club. The event will take place on April 16, 2012 at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be the 2rd annual Casino Royale event, with the previous taking place on April 17, 2011. That event was co-promoted by Adrenaline Unleashed Pro Wrestling. The event is scheduled to take place one night after April Cruels Day 2012. Like the last several events held by Vendetta Pro, this one is expected to be recorded for DVD release by Highlight Media.

Background
Casino Royale 2012 will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out during previous events. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches.

The event will feature a number of title matches, including the TCW Junior Heavyweight Championship, Vendetta Pro Tri-Force Championship and Vendetta Pro Heavyweight Championship.

The event will feature matches from a number of promotions, including inter-promotional matches. Promotions involved include Vendetta Pro Wrestling, Traditional Championship Wrestling, Future Stars of Wrestling, Freakshow Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Zero-1 USA and Adrenaline Unleashed. Also, with the event being held in conjunction with the Cauliflower Alley Club, every nominee for the 2012 CAC Future Legend Award is scheduled to be involved in the event.

The main event will be an inter-promotional "Casino Royale Rumble", which is a battle royal held in a similar format to WWE's Royal Rumble, with two participants beginning the match and another participant entering at a designated time frame until all participants have entered. Participants can only be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. Last year's Casino Royale Rumble was for the then-vacant Vendetta Pro Heavyweight title. This year's will be for the first-ever Cauliflower Alley Cup.

Early Controversy
A.J. Kirsch had been posting a number of videos entitled "THIS is #Raw", in which he had harsh words for Tough Enough trainers Bill DeMott and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. In the last video, Kirsch stated that he would be at the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion, and that he would see to it that "their paths crossed". Austin then stated later on Twitter "damn right you will. I may turn your little lights out at the event. #ToughEnough". Kirsch is currently scheduled to face "Wrestling Personified" Rik Luxury at Casino Royale 2012. The Vendetta Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship will be on the line, as Jesse Neal will face either Shannon Ballard or Austin Draven, depending on the result of the championship match the night before at April Cruels Day 2012.
