Paid Members JNLister Posted April 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2014 Don't think so. Closest I can think of is the WWF vs Alliance main event at Survivor Series 2001 which is 44:51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not a PPV match but the HBK vs Cena match from the UK was longer than that wasn't it? Can't think of any PPV examples though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon from WrestleMania 26 was twice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It sure felt like it. Lawler vs Cole from Mania 27 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of any PPV examples though. Â That was 54 minutes on TV (37ish minutes on screen plus ad breaks), though I remember reading the actual live match was only 42 minutes and they padded it out on TV by, for example, having a three minute ad break but only cutting out 30 seconds of the match.

Loki Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Who's wrestled for the longest on a PPV then? I remember Benoit wrestled 3 times in one evening on PPV, that must have tallied up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Who's wrestled for the longest on a PPV then? I remember Benoit wrestled 3 times in one evening on PPV, that must have tallied up.  I don't remember that. Benoit was meant to wrestle three times at Souled Out 2000 but when he was moved into the title match instead, they gave the "wrestle three matches" gig to Kidman. They weren't especially long matches. Benoit did wrestle twice a fair few times, one of which was Judgment Day 2001 where he did best of three falls with Kurt Angle, then wrestled for 12 minutes of a tag team turmoil with Jericho. He also wrestled twice at Bad Blood 2004, tagging with Edge against La Res for the tag belts and then defending the big belt against Kane. If he did wrestle three times on a PPV, I'm struggling to remember which one.  Savage at WM IV wrestled 4 times  In terms of length of time wrestled, I don't think that will count for much, his first three matches were all short. I have a feeling that Bret's 3 matches at King of the Ring '93 will clock in at more ring time than Savage's 4 there. Actually, I wouldn't bet against Bret's 2 matches at SummerSlam '93 which were both decent length, lasting longer than Randy's run at Mania IV.  The winner's going to be Rey, isn't it? He was in his winning Rumble for 62 minutes.   EDIT - checked some match times on Wiki and did the maths. Savage at Mania IV - 24 mins 45 Bret at KOTR '93 - 47 mins 32 Bret at SummerSlam '93 - 15 mins 37 - wow, him and Lawler I remember being longer than 6.37. Win some, lose some. Benoit at Judgment Day 2001 - 36 mins 24 Edited April 3, 2014 by air_raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted April 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 Angle went 3 times at King of the Ring 2001, vs Christian, Edge and then the street fight with Shane. Think they were all a fair length as well. Christian was shortish but surely the other two were given a bit of time? Â Didn't Bret and Michaels go longer than Reys 62 mins at WrestleMania XII? How long did the restart go, was it less than 2? Must be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelEdge Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 How many times has a heel beaten a face clean at Wrestlemania? Watching Mania 28 and Kane just beat Orton clean. I can also think of Bret v Owen and Khali v Kane. I'm sure there must be a few others but damned if I can think of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head -  IV Valentine pinning Steamboat Ted DiBiase pinning Muraco V Twin Towers beat The Rockers Mr Perfect pinning Blue Blazer VI The Model beating Koko Earthquake pinning Hercules The Barbarian pinning Tito Rick Rude pinning Superfly VII Undertaker pinning Superfly VIII Shawn pinning Tito  .... all of those were clean. More recently you've also omitted the blinding Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania XXI which Angle, the heel, won by clean submission. That'll start you off.
