Lower Card Matches That Went LONG

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Ever get surprised by how long some matches on the lower card go or have went?

A lot of the times I love it!

Also, I remember reading that one Aldo Montoya match at a house show went like 45 minutes because of some travel problems the rest of the roster had. Anyone else recall this? I really wish there was footage of that

You're a sick individual to want to see Aldo Montoya and Duke The Dumpster Droese go 45 minutes.

Crap, I saw Biker Chuck Palumbo and Jimmy Wang Yang go 12 and wanted to jump from my mezzanine seat.

Rey Mysterio vs. Mike Knox seemed like it took forever and a day. I took my son from our seats, to the merchandise stand downstairs, stood in line 10 minutes, asked how much a John Cena 8-bit shirt was, ended up buying Undertaker glow sticks, walked around a bit, stopped by the restroom, before going back to our seats.

The Hardys vs MNM at December to Dismember went for about 25 minutes in a desperate attempt to make you forget about the rest of the shoddy undercard.

I seem to remember D'Lo vs. Val Venis at SummerSlam '98 going a while.

Michael Cole/Jerry Lawler at WM 27

I swear there's a 30 minute Kwee Wee match on one of the later WCW PPVs.

At Fall Brawl 95, Johnny B Badd and Brian Pillman opened the show with a US Title Number 1 Contenders match. It went to the full time limit (20 or 30 mins) AND had a 5 minute overtime. It was weird but it was a pretty good match. Having a random match go that long really made the product feel realistic. Well at least until the Dungeon of Doom entered the WarGames.

Speaking of WM27, that damn Kid Rock concert leading into that complete waste of a Divas Battle Royal.

Two different shows hombre. The Kid Rock concert and Battle Royal was at WrestleMania 25. At 27 the women were represented in the classic match pitting Laycool and Ziggler against Morrison, Stratus, and Snooki.

But that concert was so stupid. They couldn't even include it on the blu Ray/DVD, so everyone just appears in the ring and Santina dances to some generic track. Although it's definitely better than Kid Rock.

I still think this might be the most I've ever hated a match. Excruciating.

[Soultastic]

I don't know how "undercard" it was, considering it was the match before the cooldown that was before the main event, but Edge/Orton at Vengeance 2004 went for an unexpected 25 minutes +

Elix Skipper vs. Kwee Wee at Fall Brawl 2000 went for like 15 minutes, but it felt like 15 years.

As a kid, I remember going to an msg show with my parents, where the opening match was Black Bart vs Koko B. Ware. I believe it's actually still going on to this day. That's how long it was.

[Tony Schiavontay]

WCW Uncensored 1996 is literally a whole card of this. Eddie vs Konnan, Regal vs Finlay and even DDP vs The f***ing Booty Man all go for nearly 20 minutes each and Booker T and Sting vs The Road Warriors street fight in the semi-main goes for a full thirty. 20 minutes of Ed Leslie in maybe the worst of all his shitty gimmicks is bad enough, but try watching split-screen of two half-hour backstage brawls going on at the exact same time and you'll be in awe of how little you actually remember of it.

That main event cage match is hilariously long as well but we're not going to talk about that.

Bret vs Owen at WM 10, I only consider it to be low on the card because it was the first match of the night

CM Punk v Elijah Burke at Judgment Day 2007 lasted 16:50 and felt like it lasted double that.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

This might be stretching the definition of lower card, but I think the Asylum match from Extreme Rules might still be going on.

[Paco]

Old school house shows (MSG and the like) had a lot of televised cards where lower card guys went the full 20-minute time limit.

I just watched Blue Blazer vs. Red Rooster from December '88 on the Owen Blu Ray (great match BTW).
I was like "Which jabroni is winning this?" (no offense to both talented guys, of course).
Then I remembered the era and correctly called the Time Limit Draw.

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

The first couple Survivor Series each had a match featuring 10 teams striving to survive that averaged at least 5 days in length.

[Slingshot Suplay]

Wrestlemania 1. David Sammartino vs Brutus Beefcake.... one minute was too long for this match, let alone 11:44 in a double dq.
