... that wasn't an Ironman or 2/3 Falls or any crazy stip match?
I know there was Cena/HBK last April, but before that, what was the longest match (that didn't have a stip &/or end in a time limit draw)?

Wasn't there a Hart/Michaels Ironman match that went into overtime about 10 years ago? I vaguely remember it.

Diesel vs. Bob Backlund.... oh wait.
Hmmm... HBK/Cena went long on Raw this year. Tryin to think of other long matches. Savage/Flair at Mania 8 seemed to be long, but it was also very exciting. Savage/Steamboat at Mania 3. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin at Mania 13. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio at Summerslam 2005.
This is hard!

The royal rumble is the longest match in WWE like an hour and 30 mins.

I'm pretty sure that the 1979 match where Pat Patterson defeated Ted DiBiase in Rio de Janiero, Brazil to be crowned the first-ever WWF Intercontinental Champion is the longest in WWF/WWE history. It lasted three hours and forty-seven minutes. The first couple hours were kind of slow, but the last hour and a half or so was some of the best wrestling I've ever seen.
If anybody wants a copy of this on DVD, send me a message, I'm selling Patterson/DiBiase tapes for $100 each. I know it's a steep price, but they're pretty rare, and you can probably sell them for more later on eBay.

I could have Sworn it was 4 hours, I think it was a false finish at the 3:47 mark, and the cameraman cut out not know what was going to happen.

Wrestlemania 12 is correct for the Iron Man Match between the two. Yokozuna vs. Bret Hart was the main event of Wrestlemania 9 (followed by Hogan vs. Yokozuna)

HHH/HBK at Bad Blood 2004 went upwards of 45 minutes, but that was a Hell in a Cell Match.

Yokozuna vs. Bret Hart was the main event of Wrestlemania 9 (followed by Hogan vs. Yokozuna) Actually, it was a double main event at WM9. Hogan/Beefcake vs Money Inc. was the first half. I always correct people on that one because Ted finally got to main event a Wrestlemania (I don't count Wrestlemania 4). And the Hell in a Cell match between HHH and HBK was one of the longest I can remember that wasn't an Ironman match. EDIT: Someone else just posted it.

Savage/Steamboat at Mania 3. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin at Mania 13. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio at Summerslam 2005. This is hard! Actual Times ( source: Wikipedia) Savage/Flair (WM8) -- 18:05 Savage/Steamboat (WM3) -- 14:35 Hart/Austin (WM13) -- 22:05 Guerrero/Mysterio -- 20:18 Even the longest of these isn't even half as long as Cena/Michaels from earlier this year. I think the legendary matches seem longer when we remember them, but often they aren't - it's just that great wrestlers can get a lot into a short time.
