The final co-main event of the evening 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 the “Most Marketable” Richard Holliday and “The Veteran” Jack Vaughn.
Holliday made clear from the jump that no one was exempt from his “Signature Move,” hitting it on Bishop early in the brawl. As the match wore on, Holliday and Bishop paid tribute to WWE star Matt Cardona, once known “Indy God,” and performed some of his moves in the ring.
Unfortunately, at one point, the referee was knocked out. The championship match turned into a free-for-all with everyone trying to get their licks in before the official woke out of his slumber. Holliday seemed to be in control when Tommy Invincible’s music hit. “ContentMania” could not be without Invincible, who has a comparable following to those in the match.
Invincible would take out Holliday before the referee got back in gear. Bishop would turn his attention to Vaughn, eventually pinning him for the victory.
The focus was on Holliday after the match. Amid rumors of his impending WWE move, he left his boots in the ring following 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. By that time, Nash and Hall were about to change the game and jump to World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Triple H has said that’s when he believed the Attitude Era in professional wrestling really started.
For the men in the ring on Tuesday night, they received an ovation as well. However, Invincible wasn’t exempt from the “Signature Move.” Holliday hit it one more time and the group walked to the back.
Holliday’s future is bright and there’s still plenty of dates left on his independent schedule this month. But he did seem to give the subtle hint that he could be NXT bound soon.
Premier Women’s Championship
The other co-main event featured three of some of the hardest-hitting women’s wrestlers the sport has to offer. Lady Frost was defending her Fight Factory Wrestling Premier Women’s Championship against Steph De Lander and Allie Katch.
Each competitor was giving it their all with brutalizing chops, tough suplexes and going above and beyond to try to win that championship.
The match went outside of the ring in its latter 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 nailed a moonsault on her competitors. The move got the crowd going. Katch recovered and made her way back to the ring.
But Frost had some business to take care of with De Lander. Frost trudged through the sand and allowed De Lander, an Australian native, to get in touch with the Atlantic Ocean. She whipped De Lander into the water, submerging her competitor completely. De Lander was stifled and Frost made her way back to the ring area.
Frost eventually pinned Katch to retain the championship.
