At tonight’s Night Two of Fight Club: PRO‘s Dream Tag Team Invitational Tournament, the tournament match between Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) and Gentleman’s Club (Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy) clocked it at 71 minutes and 25 seconds, making it now the longest traditional tag team match in recorded history. While there have been several tag matches that exceeded that amount, they all involved 8 or 16 man tag matches.
1. Moustache Mountain advance in @Fightclubpro #DTTI over Gentlemen's Club in 71:25 🙂

The tournament match began as normal, but Orange Cassidy announced he wanted to make it a Falls Count Anywhere match and, with all four men agreeing, it became one. They soon brawled out of the ring and then out of the building, causing some confusion. Fight Club: PRO even started the next match assuming both teams were gone. They returned fighting during the intermission, pausing briefly so both teams could sell merch, before it resumed, continuing well past an hour, until one of the Gentleman’s Club members, Swamp Monster, emerged to help the team. But it turned out to be Moustache Mountain’s British Strong Style teammate Pete Dunne in disguise, he gave them the assist, with Moustache Mountain picking up the victory and advancing in the tournament.

Non tournament, was an open challenge from the Briscoes. We've now gone to an early feeling intermission as Moustache Mountain and ChuckieT/Cassidy brawled to the merch tables continuing their ongoing falls count anywhere Match 1, only stopping to sell some t-shirts. https://t.co/UbhJVOwbOM

The 71 minute match broke the previous record by 11 minutes. It was previously shared by 60-minute time limit draws by several matches. The WWE’s longest match was a 60-minute draw between Mr. Fuji & Professor Tanaka and Chief Jay Strongbow & Sonny King for the WWF World Tag Team titles in 1972, while All Japan, Smokey Mountain Wrestling, and several NWA territories also had 60 minute time limit draws.
The longest tag match (any conditions) is currently a 16-man tag team match from CHIKARA‘s 2005 event, The Cibernetico Returneth, where one team of Arik Cannon, Blind Rage, Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli (Kassius Ohno & Cesaro), Gran Akuma, Hallowicked, Icarus and UltraMantis Black defeated Eddie Kingston, Jigsaw, Mike Quackenbush, Milano Collection A.T., Mr. Zero, Sabian, Shane Storm and Skayde in 104 minutes and 26 seconds.
