Evil Uno Reflects On C4 Wrestling’s Fighting Back Shows Raising Over $600K for Cancer Research

Evil Uno discusses the importance of C4 Wrestling’s Fighting Back events and the amount of money that the charitable shows have raised for the Canadian Cancer Society.

On August 11-12, Evil Uno and Mystery Wrestling set a record with the longest match ever, which lasted 21 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds and was broadcast live on Twitch. Also, C4 Wrestling recently held its 14th Fighting Back event, raising more money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Speaking with Fightful’s Joel Pearl, Uno shared how meaningful it is for him to have helped raise money for cancer research and treatment over the past decade, especially after losing a friend to an aggressive form of cancer.

“So, Fighting Back: Wrestling with Cancer has been an event we’ve been doing since 2011. In late 2010, going into 2011, my closest friend, Phrank Morin, passed away from cancer,” he said. “He had a very aggressive form of cancer that he found out about in December, and unfortunately, passed away in April. During the time he was battling cancer, when he had more strength than the later months. We were planning with him to do a charity event. That was something he wanted to do. He was a very, very giving person. He was honestly one of the best people I’ve ever met. Every year we come into [DC Four Hall,] and it’s changed over the 14 years of our existence, and we always raise money in his name. We make donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in his name. It is a very important thing for me. It’s a very important thing for C4, Mark Pollasel and Steven.

“But it is also a very important part of our local scene,” he added. “Every single person from the local scene comes together. Everyone donates their time. Not to say that other charity events are doing it unlike us, but it’s very rare that every single penny that’s made on a show is given away. Every penny that is made at these shows is given away. It means a lot to me. It means a lot to Mark. It means a lot to our local scene. I do not think even in the future where I retire, I don’t think I won’t be doing this. I have a lot of big projects in my life. I have a lot of big things. This is by far the most important thing to me.”

Overall, Uno is very proud that his friend’s memory has been able to raise over $600,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. He has no plans to stop donating anytime soon and hopes that next year, an even crazier idea will raise even more money.

“We’re at now our 14th year. Phrank’s name has donated over $600,000 to the Canadian Cancer Society since we’ve started. I don’t want to show too much, but by the time this comes out, the number will be out there, but I think we’re about to give our biggest donation in a year that we’ve ever had. So I’m very, very excited. Every year it comes out to the same ideas, like, ‘What stupid thing can I do next year to try and make more money?’ I don’t know the answer to it now, but I can tell you right now, I’m gonna do something stupid next year to make sure that we raise even more.”
