Mystery Wrestling: Record-Breaking Match Raises $31K for Cancer Research
# Mystery Wrestling Breaks world Record for Longest Professional wrestling Match, Raises Over $33,000 for Charity
Mystery Wrestling has etched its name into the history books,completing a staggering 21-hour,49-minute,and 12-second professional wrestling match – claiming the title of the longest wrestling match ever. The event, a 16-person Cibernetico bout held in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, concluded Tuesday morning and successfully raised over $33,000 CAD for the Canadian Cancer Society.
## A Marathon of Wrestling: Breaking the Previous Record
The grueling contest surpassed the previous Guinness World Record of 21 hours, 44 minutes, and 34 seconds, set by Ehime Pro Wrestling (EPW) in 2021. The match featured Stu grayson and Junior Benito as the final two competitors, with Grayson ultimately securing the victory with a Knightfall. Though, the achievement comes with a caveat: Mystery Wrestling alleges that guinness World Records requested a considerable five-figure fee to officially recognize the new record.
“We were told by Guinness that to ratify the record, we would have to pay a five-figure sum,” Evil Uno, owner of Mystery Wrestling, explained on X (formerly Twitter). Despite the lack of official recognition,the accomplishment stands as a testament to the endurance and dedication of all involved.
## Charity at the Heart of the Event
The primary goal of this enterprising undertaking wasn’t just to break records, but to raise funds for a vital cause. The event was a collaborative effort between Mystery wrestling and C4 Wrestling’s annual “Fighting Back” campaign, benefiting the Canadian Cancer Society. By the time the final bell rang, over $31,000 CAD had been raised, with an additional $2,000 CAD collected during the post-show hour, bringing the total to over $33,000 CAD (approximately $24,500 USD). This substantial donation will directly support the Canadian Cancer Society’s research, prevention, and support programs.
