Stu Grayson Took A Long Shower After Competing In Longest Match Ever, ‘That One Cost The City A Lot Of Money’

Stu Grayson made history on August 11-12, winning the longest match ever. The match went 21 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds, setting a new unofficial record for the longest wrestling match in recorded history.

Mystery Wrestling raised over $33,000 CAD for the Canadian Cancer Society during the marathon match.

Speaking to Fightful’s Joel Pearl, Grayson was asked how he recovered after such a trek.

“I mean, to be fair, I did get myself into that match solely to ruin the  actual record. Like, I didn’t want us to do it and Junior Benito kicked out of my last move while I was a second away from ruining the moment. So they were very happy with Junior, not so much with me, and it’s fair enough, you know?

“Not bad, not bad for a nearly 22-hour match. I don’t know how many hours I got into it, but I was busy. I was very busy. The shower going home felt incredible. I don’t really usually take a long showers. That one cost a lot of money to the city. I took a while in there.

“A body wash guy. But honestly, I basically did all the stretchings I do before a match, I did them in the shower. Yeah, straight up. I was just banged up. I was bleeding from all kinds of places. I kept finding, like, blood on the ground. I was like, ‘Where is this from?’ So I just kept washing away. That’s just how it is.”

During the match, the ring had to be repaired, but the action rolled on.

“At this point, it was 18 / 19 hours in, so I was sleep deprived. I was slowly losing my mind and as I kind of woke up from wherever I was backstage, I saw a humongous hole in the ring and that made me so angry. So I told everyone to get the hell out of there, start fixing the ring, which took me 15, 20 minutes at least. Then they made me even angrier by sending me every stupid Mystery Wrestling characters, a wiener. A jobber into a mask and with a bucket. There was a bucket there and a bunch of bare boots. I lost my mind. Then the next two or three hours or a blur, just a big blur,” he recalled.

C4 Wrestling raised over $132,000 CAD for its annual Fighting Back event. Fans can learn more here.
