Steven Ashe sent along the following:
The Canadian SMASH Wrestling promotion sponsored an Infinity Gauntlet to benefit ALS Canada, which was held on June 7th at the Fear The Fighter Academy facility in Waterloo, ON. 100% of donations benefited ALS Canada.
The idea was that Chris Hero would wrestle, even if pinned or submitted, purely determined by donations, starting at 20 minutes, then $500 to 30 minutes, $1,000 to 1 hour, $1,500 to 90 minutes, $2,000 to 2 hours and so on. All who donated $10 or more were invited for a meet and greet with Chris Hero and to attend the gauntlet, with all donors receiving a digital download of the match before it is shared for free with the world.
ALS Canada, founded in 1977, is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS and support for those with ALS. ALS Canada is the leading not-for-profit organization working nationwide to fund ALS research and with the Provincial ALS Societies, we all work to improve the quality of life for Canadians affected by ALS.
Well…$3,440 was raised for ALS and Chris Hero wrestled over THREE HOURS in the Gauntlet.
Here are the results from June 7th:
#1 – Chris Hero d. Rip Impact

Tarik was previously eliminated 3x by Hero. He donated $180 for 10 more minutes. Tarik used the Smash Wrestling Championship to knock out Hero multiple times all leading to DQ wins for Hero. An unconscious Hero was then pinned numerous times by Tarik who left the ring laughing to the end of the Infinity Gauntlet.
