GCW BREAKS RECORD FOR LONGEST MATCH IN UNITED STATES HISTORY & MORE FIGHT FOREVER NOTES

Game Changer Wrestling is still taking donations for their benefit to raise money for independent talents affected by COVID through 12 midnight.  The event has already raised over 53,000 via an Indiegogo campaign, which you can find and donate to at this link.  

I want to take a moment to thank Adam Cardoza for his amazing work in covering 64 matches, doing coverage of the entire 24 hour stream live.  You are incredible, sir!

The show featured the longest match in United States history as Tony Deppen fought Jordan Oliver in a legitimate 120 minute match.

Blake Christian officially finished up with GCW last night so let the theories as to where he is landing begin.

The issues early on with the promotion’s live stream were caused by a power outage in the building, which knocked them off the air for about 40 minutes.  The building was about 30 degrees the entire run of the show.

Brett Lauderdale produced the entire 24 hours of the show straight without a break.

Kevin Gill called about 20 hours of the show on commentary.

Starboy Charlie was slated to appear but was pulled from the show.  Given he is 16, my guess is the PA State Athletic Commission wouldn't have allowed him to perform.

The event had close to 130 sponsors helping to underwrite the costs of the show beyond what GCW and primary sponsor Orange Crush donated themselves to running the show.

The Allie Kat hour ran about 30 minutes short so with five minutes' notice several independent talents who were on standby notice including Robert Martyr hit the ring for a five-way and had a good showing for themselves.
