MJF pulled from indie date due to ‘unforeseen scheduling conflict’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

AEW World Champion MJF won’t be able to make his previously scheduled appearance for Mystery Wrestling in Canada next month.

The Evil Uno-owned indie promotion announced today that, due to an “unforeseen scheduling conflict,” MJF is off their March 26 show in Edmonton. No other details on the scheduling conflict were provided. Mystery Wrestling apologized for the inconvenience and noted that any fans who want a refund on their tickets can do so through the original point of purchase.

In a video addressing the news, Evil Uno said it sucks to have this happen, but it’s just the nature of the business. Uno is upset about not being able to give fans what was promised and will be using the next couple of weeks to sort out a suitable replacement. He did reveal that Taka Michinoku, who was originally intended to be a surprise, will be competing at the event. It’s Michinoku’s first time wrestling in Canada in over 25 years.

Mystery Wrestling is a concept where most of the competitors are not announced in advance, and Evil Uno said cancellations like this are one of the reasons he prefers to handle things that way. When fans don’t know what to expect, they can’t be disappointed when someone has to miss the show.

MJF has been making some indie appearances during his AEW World Championship reign as he attempts to prove himself as a traveling World Champion. He has a busy schedule while balancing his wrestling and acting careers.

At AEW Revolution in Los Angeles on March 15, MJF is defending his title against Hangman Page in a Texas Death Match. The match has a stipulation where Page won’t be able to challenge for the championship again if he loses.

AEW World Champion MJF set for new indie appearance

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Next month, AEW World Champion MJF is scheduled to appear at an indie event that’s being put on by his co-worker Evil Uno.

It was announced today that MJF will appear at Mystery Wrestling 23 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Thursday, March 26. The show is taking place at Midway Music Hall and will stream for free live on both YouTube and Twitch. Tickets go on sale this Thursday (February 5) at noon Mountain time.

Founded by Evil Uno, Mystery Wrestling is an indie concept where most of the participants and matches are not revealed in advance. Each show is hosted by Evil Uno and one special guest.

MJF — who is attempting to prove himself as a traveling World Champion — made a title defense for Limitless Wrestling in Maine last month, where he presented both Alec Price and Jordan Oliver with AEW contracts. MJF is also set to appear for House of Glory Wrestling in his hometown of Long Island, New York on February 20.

Along with this Mystery Wrestling date, MJF will be in Canada when AEW holds Dynamite/Collision in Winnipeg on April 1, Dynamite/Collision in Edmonton on April 8, and Dynasty 2026 in Vancouver on April 12.

Mystery Wrestling breaks record for longest match during charity fundraiser

Posted on by Ian Carey

Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling, in conjunction with C4 Wrestling, held a successful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, featuring the longest professional wrestling match ever recorded.

The two promotions ran a 16-person Cibernetico elimination tag match at Centre Aydelu in Gatineau, Quebec, starting Monday and ending Tuesday, for a total of 21 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds. The event raised over $38,000 CAD for the charity.

However, the match will not be recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, as Evil Uno revealed last month that it would have cost $16,000 USD to do so.

Stu Grayson was the last one standing at the end of the nearly day long match.

“I’m the winner of the longest wrestling match ever ! Praise me ! 21 hours, 49 minutes, 12 seconds! We raised over $38 000 for the cancer society !!!” Grayson wrote on X after.

He later added, “It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. That’s what everyone else in the match said. It was easy for me because im STU !”

Grayson’s teammates, as listed on Cagematch, were Dante Dubois, Gabriel Floyd, HADDY, Jan Itor, Jay Stevens, Jeff Fury, Joe Jobber, Katrina Creed, KJ Swayde, and Sasquatch. They defeated the team of Alvin Turner, Cecil Nyx, Dreya Mitchell, Jason Exile, Junior Benito, Mathis Myre, Top Dog, Tyler Nox, and Xander Orion. Several others also got involved, including Evil Uno and what appeared to be a cardboard cutout of Orange Cassidy.

The match was five minutes longer than the previous longest match on record, when EHIME Pro Wrestling held a 10-man tag that lasted 21 hours 44 minutes and 31 seconds. The match’s entry into the Guinness Book of World Records can be found here. It began on November 20, 2021 and ended on November 21, 2021.
