Fight Factory Wrestling concluded its "War on the Shore 3" event at Martell's Tiki Bar in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, with a notable "Curtain Call" segment involving prominent independent wrestlers Richard Holliday, Ben Bishop, Jack Vaughn, and Tommy Invincible. The event drew hundreds of fans to the beachside venue on July 14, 2026.
Premier Championship Match and 'ContentMania'
The event featured several championship matches and rising stars. In one co-main event, "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop defended the Fight Factory Premier Championship against "Most Marketable" Richard Holliday and "The Veteran" Jack Vaughn in a match billed as "ContentMania." The bout saw notable moments, including Holliday executing his "Signature Move" and paying tribute to WWE star Matt Cardona. The match devolved into a chaotic free-for-all when the referee was incapacitated.
Tommy Invincible, a wrestler with a significant social media following, made an appearance, interrupting the match and targeting Holliday. Following this disruption, Bishop ultimately pinned Vaughn to retain the championship.
Holliday's Future and the 'Curtain Call'
Attention then turned to Richard Holliday, who had recently left his wrestling boots in the ring after a match with Game Changer Wrestling, fueling speculation about a potential move to WWE. At the "War on the Shore 3," Holliday, Bishop, Vaughn, and Invincible did not replicate the boot-leaving gesture. Instead, they performed their own version of the "Curtain Call," a segment famously executed by WWE legends Triple H, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Shawn Michaels in 1996. The original "Curtain Call" saw the four wrestlers break character to embrace each other, occurring shortly before Nash and Hall's departure to World Championship Wrestling.
Following their embrace, Holliday delivered his "Signature Move" to Invincible before the group departed. Holliday acknowledged his upcoming independent dates and hinted at a potential future with WWE's NXT brand.
Women's Championship Match
The other co-main event saw Lady Frost defend her Fight Factory Wrestling Premier Women's Championship against Steph De Lander and Allie Katch. The hard-hitting contest featured suplexes and intense action, with the match spilling outside the ring. Frost utilized a moonsault from atop a parked SUV and later immersed De Lander in the Atlantic Ocean. Frost ultimately retained her championship by pinning Katch.
Other Match Results
The event also included several other matches. Sent 2 Slaughter successfully defended the Fight Factory Premier Tag Team Championship against The Heavenly Bodies. Ken Dixon won the Tiki Title Totem in a four-way match. Rachel Ley and Kristin Blaze defeated Emily Jaye and Dani Mo. FBI won a six-man tag team match. Jay Lethal defeated Joey Janela.
