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.
Braun Strowman vs. Tyler Bate vs. Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose

WEEK1-4
TRISH STRATUS VS. ALEXA BLISS

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. Which matches do you want to see changed? Which ones are destined for the SUPERCARD? Share your feedback and thanks for supporting Mayhem Mania.

• David Arquette has his first, and last, foray into death match wrestling at GCW
• NXT Takeover War Games delivers. Who are we rooting for from their indy wrestling days, and who hasn't gained steam yet?
• Survivor Series delivers a RAW (sort of) sweep. But who were the real winners?
• Dean Ambros and Charlotte are doing something new and badass.
• What are we thankful for in pro wrestling?
• Enzo Amore does something stupid
• We talk about Magnum CK's retirement from Pro Wrestling
• What did we learn from pro wrestling this week?

We've got a special Mike and Mike edition of the show this week as we're talking about some new news - and some old news in professional wrestling. This week we're talking about:

• Neville is back - - in Dragon Gate.
• Dear Chris DeJoseph: Mad Mike has some thoughts for Neville for Lucha Underground. xoxox
• Punishment Martinez is headed to WWE.
• Sorg is predicting that once the WWE Performance Center gets hold of Punishment Martinez, he's going to look a little different.
• A special, special thing happened to RAW. And, we think Tina Keys may be partially to blame.
• We can agree that Lio Rush was not ready for Seattle.
• OH: What happened in Seattle is like when you're shaving and accidentally hit an artery.
• Wait....Mad Mike was happy with something on RAW?!?!?
• We're talking some comparison between Brie Bella and Maurice.
• We're apparently imagining what Punishment Martinez smells like on this episode?
• The Shield was half of a 3-hour RAW. Wrap your head around that.
• Can we tell you about the Broken Universe? [Picture as a door-to-door mission group pitch.]
• There's a Super Show Down happening. We're sharing some thoughts.
• It's WWE writing - it's not supposed to be Shakespeare.
• We all see a Dean Ambrose turn coming. The question is whether it'll be at Super Show Down or the RAW after.
• Are we going to see a Kings of Wrestling reunion somewhere down the line?
• Sorg just realized that The Bushwackers may be a possibility to appear for Super Show Down.
• This week's Big Question: What is (other than the Mayhem Show of course) the best wrestling podcast (preferably from an actual wrestler)?
• Thanks to Dave Podnar for providing the Best of 2008 WWE Magazine for Sorg. It's a nice little time capsule that he's using to fill out the last part of the show.
• Sorg is playing Guess Who with the faces on the front of the Best of 2008 WWE Magazine he has in studio.
• We're trying to finagle a way to watch No Holds Barred with David Arquette...
• What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?
