Richard Holliday makes an exciting move amid WWE rumors

There is only one cure for a hot summer day in New Jersey – the beach.

Fight Factory Wrestling brought the sun, the cool ocean breeze and the excitement to the Jersey Shore on Tuesday night when it hosted The War on the Shore 3 at Martell’s Tiki Bar at Point Pleasant Beach.

Hundreds of fans brought their beach chairs, grabbed a cool drink and watched a massive card of rising stars on the independent scene and familiar big fights with some championships on the line as well as future opportunities for the big fights.

The final co-main event of the night featured what was described as “ContentMania” among three pro wrestlers who have made incredible waves on social media. “Big Trouble” Ben Bishop was looking to defend the Fight Factory Premier Championship against “Most Marketable” Richard Holliday and “The Veteran” Jack Vaughn.

Holliday made it clear from the jump that no one was exempt from his “Signature Move,” hitting it on Bishop early in the fight. As the match progressed, Holliday and Bishop paid tribute to WWE star Matt Cardona, once known as the “Indy God”, and performed some of his moves in the ring.

Unfortunately, the referee was knocked out at one point. The championship match turned into a free-for-all with everyone trying to get their licks in before the referee woke up from his slumber. Holliday seemed to be in control as Tommy Invincible’s music hit. “ContentMania” couldn’t do without Invincible, which has a comparable following to those in the match.

Invincible would disqualify Holliday before the referee got back into gear. Bishop would turn his attention to Vaughn and eventually pin him for the win.

The focus was on Holliday after the game. Amidst rumors of his impending WWE move, he left his boots in the ring after a match at Game Changer Wrestling over the weekend. Would he do the same in Point Pleasant Beach?

Instead, Holliday, Bishop, Vaughn and Invincible performed another wrestling trope. They took a page out of the playbook of WWE legends Triple H, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Shawn Michaels and performed their own version of the infamous “Curtain Call”.

The act, which was done at a house show in 1996, saw Triple H, Nash, Hall and Michaels break character and embrace. At the time, Nash and Hall were changing the game and jumping to World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Triple H has said that this is when he believed the Attitude Era in professional wrestling really started.

For the men in the ring on Tuesday night, they also received an ovation. However, Invincible was not exempt from the “Signature Move”. Holliday hit it once more and the group went to the back.

Holliday’s future is bright and there are still plenty of dates left on his independent schedule this month. But he seemed to drop the subtle hint that he could be NXT bound soon.

Premier Women’s Championship

The second co-main event featured three of some of the hardest hitting female wrestlers the sport has to offer. Lady Frost defended her Fight Factory Wrestling Premier Women’s Championship against Steph De Lander and Allie Katch.

Each competitor gave it their all with brutalizing chops, hard suplexes and going above and beyond to try and win that championship.

The fight went outside the ring in the final stages. Frost brought De Lander and Katch near the entrance, where a purple SUV was parked. She went to the top of the vehicle and hit a moonsault on her competitors. The move got the audience going. Katch recovered and came back to the ring.

But Frost had something to take care of with De Lander. Frost trudged through the sand, allowing De Lander, an Australian native, to make contact with the Atlantic Ocean. She whipped De Lander into the water, completely sinking her competitor. De Lander choked out and Frost came back to ringside.

Frost eventually pinned Katch to retain the championship.
