Mayhem Mania 2022: Week 8

This. Is. Mayhem Mania!

It’s not just the ultimate fantasy booking challenge. It’s also a competitive thought experiment!

The object of Mayhem Mania is to craft the best WrestleMania card possible within the boundaries of our current reality. That means anyone WWE can book in a match is available to our players.

But this year, there’s a twist! Mayhem Mania 2022 is a two-night event! Night 1 will be the night for our traditional Mayhem Mania card featuring WWE-related matches. But on Night 2, we open the “forbidden door” and make it possible for our players to create matches with anyone outside of WWE.

The journey so far:
– Week 1
– Week 2
– Week 3
– Week 4
– Week 5
– Week 6
– Week 7

Every week, we invite players to make a change to one of the matches on our cards. They can:
– KILL a match entirely and CREATE a new one with other individuals
– SWAP out an individual or team in a match for another individual or team
– SWAP out an individual or team in a match with an individual or team in another match already on the card
– ADD an individual or team to an existing match

Not everyone is currently eligible to be used in Mayhem Mania. Some are being held in a place we lovingly refer to as SPACE JAIL. Here’s the current inmate count:

• Avery Good
• Commander Sterling
• Gunther
• Johnny Knoxville
• Keith Lee
• Rey Fenix
• Sonny Kiss
• Tama Tonga
• Tanga Loa
• Ultra Mantis Black
• Will Ospreay
• Ziggy Haim

Matches on our card can GRADUATE to the Mayhem Mania SUPERCARD via various means. That simply means they are “locked in” and can no longer be changed. It also opens up more slots to create more matches. Currently, two matches on each night have GRADUATED to the SUPERCARD.

Six moves were made on last Tuesday’s Wrestling Mayhem Show. Due to circumstances resulting in various matches graduating or being killed, we needed all six players to each creature a match from scratch. Let’s see what our players created!

So, with the moves from Week 8 of Mayhem Mania now in the books, let’s take a look at what our cards look like.
