Talking Mayhem Mania Round 1

This. is. Mayhem Mania! Not quite a game. Not really a contest. More like a competitive thought experiment. The object is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – NOT necessarily to predict what WWE will do. This is not fantasy booking. It’s more like reality booking. Any match created must have at least a chance of happening in this year’s WrestleMania. That means all wrestlers come in their current physical, emotional and contractual state. Anyone selected for a match must have a reasonable chance of being hired by WWE to appear on the real-life WrestleMania card. Simply put, you’re Vince McMahon with infinite cash and no self-control. For those of you who are just joining us, here’s where you can catch up on Mayhem Mania 2019: Opening Round Round 1 of Mayhem Mania 2019 was held during the Wrestling Mayhem Show on Tuesday, January 29. 5 people were invited to each make a single change to our existing card of 8 matches. Here’s how it went down. Move 1 (by Larry) DELETE Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe and CREATE Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley Move 2 (by Mad Mike) DELETE Pete Dunne vs. Drew McIntyre and CREATE EC3 vs. John Cena Move 3 (by Tina Keys) DELETE KUSHIDA vs. Lio Rush and CREATE Sanity vs. Gallus Move 4 (by Jen Carlins) ADD Dean Ambrose to Braun Strowman vs. Tyler Bate vs. Cesaro Move 5 (by Beastman) DELETE Ricochet vs. Shane Strickland and CREATE Drew McIntyre vs. Lars Sullivan vs. Samoa Joe With Round 2 now in the books, here are the 5 newly created matches on our card.

ALEXA BLISS (CREATED BY PRODUCER MISSY) WEEK1-5 Any match that survives 3 consecutive weeks without being altered in any way will graduate to our SUPERCARD, opening up a new slot for new match ideas. Prior to the start of Round 2, a bounty of ELIMINATORS were awarded based on the results of our Royal Rumble Challenge. ELIMINATORS allow a player to eliminate any single person from being used at all during this year’s Mayhem Mania. An ELIMINATOR can be used at any time once it’s been earned. Here’s the list of who’s been eliminated thus far. Ric Flair Jeff Jarrett Brock Lesnar Drake Maverick Next week, five more players will join us to make more changes to our existing card.
