10 Longest Matches In WWE History

[@killblade6]

Bruno sanmartino: the list

[@petebagwell6666]

Yeah the guy had an 81 minute match ffs

[@rupert_1491]

@@petebagwell6666 he also held the title for a combined 11 years

[@wweecwwcwtna1928]

Bruno is such a legend, hes been in so many long matches and one of the longest champions in wrestling history.

[@HundredManSlayer-]

He is the longest champion in wrestlng history

[@jemy4271]

140+ Minutes "Near Two Hours" What???? Lmao

[@shodate6324]

i think the match lasted 149 mins but what we saw was under 2 hours cuase of add brakes me thinks

[@shadowjfd]

sho date No. He's stating that 149 minutes is not "near 2 hours"... 149 minutes really is 2 hours 29 minutes.

[@Robbins996]

I think he meant 1 hour 49 minutes (109 minutes)

[@gunnarjames1305]

It was 1 hr 49 minutes, not 149 minutes.

[@JasonTate08]

Isn't it even more than two hours?

[@krectus]

if you're allowing Ambrose vs Harper on the list, surely Piper vs Goldust at Wrestlemania xii would make the list. That match spanned almost the entire pay per view.

[@stevencampbell2018]

Those new generation ppvs were always really short so the Harper and Ambrose was longer due to modern ppvs feeling the need to be 10 hours long lol

[@talesfromiDEATH]

I might be wrong about this but the hollywood backlot brawl wasn't an actual match. Harper/Ambrose technically counts cause of the time bell to bell, but the hbb didnt have an actual bell so wasnt a true sanctioned match.

[@jakesorrentino7230]

krectus The wrestling observer counts it

[@standardofexcellence]

Yea, they could have took a giant shit broke kayfabe off camera in between

[@misterwishart]

Or, for that matter, Maven vs. Goldust for the Hardcore title

[@trafalgarlaw3486]

Yeah the Dean Ambrose vs Harper Match doesn't count in my opinion

[@jordandufault9558]

Trafalgar Law34 Lmao yea he talked about it like they really brawled on the street

[@MrPhsv1]

god, he really talked like they went out and still wrestle, pathetic

[@spadesx9163]

Trafalgar Law34 exactly

[@JeffersonSteelflexx]

Technically the match was still going on though

[@zanewoollett6877]

The bell rung then an hour later it rung again, it's stupid but that's the official time so it counts

[@steevysleepy7326]

1:39 Those guys moved their brawl to AEW 😂😂😎👌

[@abdk101]

Now this is end for ever. 😢😢

[@matthewhaggerty454]

I was sitting front row for that gauntlet match. It was AMAZING. Seth Rollins truly is cross-fit Jesus, for if he wasn't there is no way he would have made it as long as he did.

This is the kind of video I like! A countdown that covers 60's and 70's wrestling. I love hearing about wrestling from way before the Rock 'N Wrestling era and it's nice that the older eras get some respect. Some great ideas for 60's and 70's wrestling Top Tens would be - most heinous acts by heels, most hardcore matches, craziest gimmicks and unscripted stuff to name a few.

[@zantiquechm3960]

I feel like this list was made just to put that gauntlet match at number 1

[@nigelpoll3250]

Agree

[@Go4Bro]

Well that's pretty much what modern WWE fans want they want the new era to be the best ERA

[@riselikethephoenix1]

Royal rumbles are excluded... fair. But if ironman matches are out shouldnt gauntlet matches go out with them?

[@NewAgeComix]

riselikethephoenix1 iron man matches have to go a set length of time, there would be loads at 60:00 because they have to go that distance. The gauntlet could theoretically be won in five minutes, it doesn't guarantee a lengthy match

[@riselikethephoenix1]

Jackson Parker ... it kinda does though if it has 6 people in it

[@shodate6324]

i agree with this

[@SuperNest24]

Not every gaunlet match was that long

[@shodate6324]

The Longest Match ever in wrestling lasted 12 hours no lie SWI was the promomotion

[@khanrafinahmed431]

1. Play the latest WhatCulture video 2. Does it feature Simon Miller? i) Yes? 3. Watch the video ii) No? 3. Close it. 4. Repeat

[@standardofexcellence]

Khan Rafin Ahmed now they have divisions so only having 1 guy drops the percentage of him showing up

[@SONIXX12]

Gauntlet match was 106:55 minutes long, not 146:55.

[@NostalgiNorden]

Haha man they fucked up there!

[@316malica]

Probably meant 1 hour and 46 mins.

[@CB-ci5ys]

I was there when it happened. It really was almost 2 hours long. I kept looking at my watch and it kept going longer than I expected. Want proof? I am in 5 on the pictures they posted with the video. Look for the Seth Rollins shirt or the guy holding his phone up when Balor does his finisher.

[@RanaGamingVT]

Darren Oyler 7:52, found u

[@theprophet6153]

"For variety's sake we've excluded..." Bruno Sammartino appears 6 times in the list, lots of "Variety" there.

[@ngautier224]

I'm pretty sure you can find other matches that doesn't involve Bruno

[@TheDCGuitar13]

You said it best. While watching cena micheals 2 I DEFINITELY lost track of time. A lost gem in Raw history!!

[@bitchesandtouhous]

Man, Ambrose vs Harper was such a missed opportunity to really have fun with this match. There should've been a segment dedicated to this one match after every single match throughout the night. They should've been fighting at various Chicago landmarks, Deep dish Pizza joints, whatever. They could've "returned" to the arena and ended the match directly after the Reigns vs Big Show Last Man Standing match. Ambrose could've even come up to Reigns afterwards all like, "So how was your night?" Ahhh, oh well.

[@FlameGecko13]

Simon and NXT Ups & Downs Adam is the only reason I still watch

[@GNVS300]

Fuck Adam Nicholas

[@CarolynDestruction]

Remember The longest wrestling match in history is 12 hours.

[@Aswin2002]

What match

[@Tenchigumi]

6:33 "53 Years, 5 Months, and 28 Days". A part of me was hoping you'd finish with "this was how long the match lasted."

[@frankunodostres473]

ciampa vs gargano 60-minute time limit draw! make it happen!

[@noahanderson925]

Royal Rumble 2015. Curtis Axel and Roman Reigns fought in the final two for a year. It even boiled over into the 2016 Royal Rumble where both men met, now joined by AJ Styles. Axle was then eliminated, leaving Reigns to officially win the 2015 Rumble match

[@AirPatrick]

Most of those old matches were headlocks, arm bars & posing

[@arlosteiner8382]

Tone Anakin and minor heart attacks

[@kyleknorr823]

That Raw gauntlet was Awesome, glad I was there to watch it.

[@chrishollister80]

I would love the Styles/Nakamura match to go 40 mins, 45 mins even. But, that time must be set aside for Trips and Steph's bull### ring entrances and Trips taking 55 minutes to wrestle a match like he's Harley e'ffn Race. #saveusnewjapan

[@rajivnair5798]

[@danaddison01]

You don't need 30 minutes to have a great Match.

They need to do this with Nakamura and Styles. A 60-minute​ broadway.

Unfortunately, Royal Rumble matches were not included. The longest match would've been Curtis Axel. He never got eliminated from the 2015 Royal Rumble. He even made an entire segment about it. Lol

What is the name of the song playing in the background of this video?

[@darksword4726]

Gorilla Monsoon every 5 minutes "you can cut the electricity in the air!"

[@gamerkidnumber1627]

You know what happens when you do these videos you know what happens YOU JUST MADE THE LIST

[@metalheadwrestling5928]

The reason they don't have long matches anymore is because casuals have the attention spans of a squirrel.

[@j.d.6915]

That's only part of the reason. Could you imagine a match going an hour long today with all the high flying bumps the guys take today? It would take them months to recover from one match. Heck, Omega and Jericho didn't even reach an hour.

[@metalheadwrestling5928]

J.D. I'm not saying for them to go an hour plus all the time just for a big match at a PPV. Styles/Nakamura should be at least 25-30 minutes at WrestleMania. Also not every match that goes over twenty minutes needs to be high spots. They gotta "dictate the pace." Just throwing it out there, by no means do I want to see Roidman in a 25-30 minute singles match. I don't want to make people suffer.

[@TheFinalHoss]

If royal rumble matches counted then the 2015 match would be number 1. That lasted nearly a year with Curtis axel being the standout performer

[@tajhaescott-walls84]

That Seth Rollins Match lasted over 5 hours that’s incredible that see Seth go that far in that hour that’s huge for WWE

[@daltonbelcher5510]

[@PhenomenalByChoice]

So Bruno Had 💯 Million Hour Matches, Got It.

[@PlumbPitiful]

The reason HBK/Cena went long is because Randy Orton pulled a no-show that night so they had to stretch to cover the length of his scheduled match as well as their own

[@TJV83]

I feel bad for anyone that had to have Bruno Samartino’s hairy arms and sweaty chest pubes rubbed all over their body for a hour.
