It was reported by a promo done by Trey Reed as he was posting the tweet, that the uploaded youTube video had

The clip itself has been addressed in a press release by Jim Pattison, President and CEO of the Guinness Book of World Records publishing company, who has been bombarded with questions of its record breaking status.
“I have personally seen the clip on several occasions in the last 24 hours, and it is a very impressive entrance. I cannot make any official announcements, but our statisticians are checking the history of this subject, as our board members are discussing the possibility of making two new official world record categories: Longest ring entrance in length of time for any sport, and most expensive ring entrance for any sport. We will have more updates as the week progresses.”
Regardless of whether the WCF gets in the record books for this stunt by Trey Reed or not, it certainly has garnered more interest from the web! And that is what's trending on the web today!
