July 2021 is a big month for professional wrestling. WWE and AEW are returning to live touring. Impact Wrestling and Ring Of Honor are welcoming back live fans for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Somehow, professional wrestling survived more than a year of uncertainty, lockdowns and empty arenas.
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!
There are two “tiers” to Mayhem Mania. The 8-match “undercard”, where our players create and make changes to matches, and the SUPERCARD. To reach the SUPERCARD, a match must survive three rounds on the “undercard” without being altered in any way, but that changes in our final round – Patreon In The Bank.
With no more time to wait on matches to GRADUATE, we invite the Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show into the final round of Mayhem Mania, imbue them with the authority to make massive changes to our card and enjoy the pandemonium. Some Patreons were granted the authority to imprison and even FREE individuals from SPACE JAIL! Here’s what it looked like heading into Patreon In The Bank.
SPACE JAIL Tickets can also be earned when a match GRADUATES. The creator of the match gets that reward. In addition, the match creator gets to hand out a dose of “punishment” to another player. Our friend Chad The Shad created a board of random numbers and letters which concealed the names of individuals that the “punished” player would be forced to use.
With only ONE match on our SUPER CARD heading into the Patreon In The Bank round, we had to GRADUATE seven matches! Here’s the record of how it all went down.

Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 8
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!
There are two “tiers” to Mayhem Mania. The 8-match “undercard”, where our players create and make changes to matches, and the SUPERCARD. To reach the SUPERCARD, a match must survive three rounds on the “undercard” without being altered in any way. So far, only one match has made it.
MAYHEM MANIA 2021 SUPERCARD
Raquel Gonzalez vs. Beth Phoenix (Created by Tina Keys)
That’s a pretty darn good match, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Not everyone is eligible to use in Mayhem Mania. They must be under a WWE contract or otherwise within WWE’s orbit of influence. Also, everyone comes in their current physical/contractual/etc. state (We are ignoring COVID-19 diagnoses because this is supposed to be a fun diversion, not a reminder of the terrible things happening around us.). Simply put, if Vince McMahon can’t do it, you can’t do it!
Other wrestlers are not eligible to use because one of our players has sent them to SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel.
Every week we spin our prize wheel to give one of the SPACE JAIL inmates a chance to escape, and we had an escape just before Round 8. Shane McMahon is now OUT of SPACE JAIL!
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for the latest round of Mayhem Mania 2021. Each can make ONE of the following changes to our card:
– SWAP one wrestler or team with one in another match on the card or replace them with a wrestler or team not currently on the card – ADD a wrestler or team to an existing match – DELETE a match in its entirety and replace it with a new match using entirely new wrestlers – SUBTRACT an individual from an exisiting match. – MATCH SWAP: This year, we have a designated “cinematic match” slot on our card. A player can choose to swap an existing match on the card for the match currently in that “cinematic match” slot.
With all that business out of the way, here’s how things went down during Round 8 of Mayhem Mania.
Move #1 (by Chad The Shad) ADD WALTER to Cesaro vs. Pete Dunne vs. Keith Lee
Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown) DELETE Bayley & Bad Bunny vs. Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis and CREATE Legado Del Fantasma vs. Breezango & RJ City

Cameron Grimes vs. Xavier Woods (Created by Bobbyfjtown)

Alex Kahrs’ match did not survive the round. So, he’ll be invited back next week under the application of the “Alex Kahrs Rule”.
We have only one “normal” week left during Mayhem Mania 2021. The grand finale, Patreon In The Bank, is coming up on Tuesday, March 30. ONLY Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show will be invited to play during that round. If you want in, head to patreon.com/wrestlingmayhemshow. Your support will help the show and get you in on the fun.

Other wrestlers are not eligible to use because one of our players has sent them to SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel.
Every week we spin our prize wheel to give one of the SPACE JAIL inmates a chance to escape. The wheel did not free anyone before Round 7.
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for the latest round of Mayhem Mania 2021. Each can make ONE of the following changes to our card:
– SWAP one wrestler or team with one in another match on the card or replace them with a wrestler or team not currently on the card – ADD a wrestler or team to an existing match – DELETE a match in its entirety and replace it with a new match using entirely new wrestlers – SUBTRACT an individual from an exisiting match. – MATCH SWAP: This year, we have a designated “cinematic match” slot on our card.

Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown) DELETE “THE DEMON” Finn Balor vs. Karrion Kross vs. Aleister Black vs. Damien Priest and CREATE Cameron Grimes vs. Xavier Woods

Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Cesaro (Created by Mad Mike)
Big E vs. Bronson Reed (Created by Tina Keys)
We’re not far from the home stretch of Mayhem Mania 2021. The grand finale, Patreon In The Bank, is coming up on Tuesday, March 30. ONLY Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show will be invited to play during that round. If you want in, head to patreon.com/wrestlingmayhemshow. Your support will help the show and get you in on the fun.

Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 3
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!
Not every WWE wrestler is eligible to use. Under the rules of Mayhem Mania, everyone comes in their current physical, emotional and contractual state. That means anyone out with an injury is NOT eligible to use. (We are ignoring COVID-19 diagnoses because this is supposed to be a fun diversion, not a reminder of the terrible things happening around us.)
Others are not eligible to use for a different reason. Some of them are locked in SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel
SPACE JAIL is not a life sentence. A lucky spin of our prize wheel can free one of them, and that’s exactly what happened before Round 3. The prize wheel freed Ric Flair.
There’s no “double jeopardy” so anyone who escapes can not be locked up again during Mayhem Mania 2021.
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for Round 2 of Mayhem Mania 2021. Each can make ONE of the following changes to our card:
– SWAP one wrestler or team with one in another match on the card or replace them with a wrestler or team not currently on the card – ADD a wrestler or team to an existing match – DELETE a match in its entirety and replace it with a new match using entirely new wrestlers – MATCH SWAP: This year, we have a designated “cinematic match” slot on our card. A player can choose to swap an existing match on the card for the match currently in that “cinematic match” slot.
With all that business out of the way, let’s take a look at the changes made during Round THREE of Mayhem Mania 2021!
Move #1 (by Sorgatron) DELETE Walter vs. Goldberg and CREATE Elias & Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal vs. Damien Priest & Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch
Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown) DELETE Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Daniel Bryan & Nikki Cross and CREATE Io Shirai vs. Rey Mysterio
Move #3 (by Alex Kahrs) ADD Roman Reigns to Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne
Move #4 (by “The Rev” Ron Hunt) SWAP Samoa Joe and Finn Balor
Move #5 (by Dave Podnar) DELETE Xavier Woods & AJ Styles & Kofi Kingston vs. Tyler Breeze & Adam Cole & Cesaro and CREATE Mercedes Martinez vs. Sasha Banks
With Round 3 in the books, we now have SIX new matches on our card.
Elias & Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal vs. Damien Priest & Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch (Created by Sorgatron) (*Designated as “cinematic match”)
Io Shirai vs. Rey Mysterio (Created by Bobbyfjtown)
Mercedes Martinez vs. Sasha Banks (Created by Dave Podnar)
Samoa Joe vs. Karrion Kross vs. Aleister Black (Created by “The Rev” Ron Hunt)
Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Roman Reigns (Created by Alex Kahrs)
Finn Balor vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Timothy Thatcher vs. Ilja Dragunov (Created by “The Rev” Ron Hunt)
Here are the two matches that survived Round 3 without being changed.
Raquel Gonzalez vs. Beth Phoenix (Created by Tina Keys)
The IIconics vs. Riott Squad (Created by Mad Mike)
If a match survives THREE rounds without being altered in any way, it will GRADUATE to our SUPERCARD. The creator of the match will receive rewards, including creating a new match to fill the open slot on our “undercard”. Our goal is to GRADUATE eight matches to our SUPERCARD by the time Mayhem Mania 2021 comes to an end.
One final note: Following Round 3 Mad Mike used one of the SPACE JAIL tickets he earned in our Royal Rumble contest to send Austin Theory to SPACE JAIL.
What will happen next? The only way to find out is to keep following Mayhem Mania 2021!
2021: Round 1 – From A Chore To A Hobby: Making Cooking Fun
Many people tend to be too busy with their daily life activities. This is why they tend to run away from cooking. I mean, when you have a demanding job in spite of the fact that you are working from home and children’s busy schedules, cooking will definitely slide down your list of priorities. It could be worse even if you are single or live alone because you could be content with getting some processed or fast food. Shifting one’s perception about working with food and creating a meal alone may not appeal to everyone because some people do not just like going to the kitchen. So how about including striking features in your kitchen to make you want to go there. Let’s see some tips on making cooking fun.
Create an inviting aura in your kitchen
This can help a great deal but it could be quite subjective to say the least. What may appear to be singularly uplifting for someone may not make another get motivated to go to the kitchen. However, there are some common features that appeal to the majority of people. It is all about creating a warm environment that makes you feel excited about going to cook. For example, you can make the surroundings cozy with some plants in vases. There may be a problem here with a lack of sunlight which is supposed to help the plants grow. LED grow lights could prove useful here. They won’t only be assisting with the growth of the plants but also help beautify the surroundings.
Introduce some soft music to enliven the proceedings
If you are the type that loves to listen to music almost every free time, why not take the music to your kitchen. You could put a small mobile Bluetooth speaker in your kitchen and play your choices of music and dance to them while waiting for some simmering or something to get fried. Music has a way of motivating the soul. It lifts one’s spirit and gets you up and about things you didn’t have the motivation to delve into earlier.
Music is the Food of the Soul
After all, it is not for nothing that music is called the ‘food of the soul.’ This is why it is such a great idea to nourish your soul even as you whip up culinary delights to nourish your body as well. You don’t have to dance to the groove while tossing stuff in the pan, but there is no harm in enjoying a little humming and tapping while your food is cooking, So you can try it today and see how things get for you. With a little experimentation, you too will learn to enjoy the beat and the tasty dishes you whip up.
Have friends over to cook with you
It may sound like too many cooks spoiling the broth but when you are not in the mood to do something, there is the option of doing it with friends around so you can be better motivated. There is another catch here, you can learn some kitchen skills from any one of them who loves cooking and is very good at it. Apart from the fact things get done faster, there is better bonding with your friends and there could never be any dull moment with this arrangement. There are plenty of recipes that you can try out and cook as a group. This will definitely get you a step closer to making cooking a hobby.
Cook for and with your partner
You can also give it a shot with your partner. Cooking for each other is probably one of the most romantic things you can do. Add to that the fun of participating in such a wholesome activity. You can try to compete with each other to see who has the best taste for the sublime. It does not matter who cooks what. You will both come out as winners. Especially when the goal is the same. I.e. To please each other by making the best dish possible. Check out the best Charcuterie Boards.
Always make allowances for mistakes
One of the reasons why people get less motivated is because they feel it has been a long time since they cooked and so their cooking skills may have become very rusty. It will be a feeling of why cook when it will probably taste horrible? Well, you won’t be able to find out if you don’t try, would you? You have to give room for mistakes like the food not being well seasoned, getting your food burnt, or forgetting to add seasoning at all. It is okay to make mistakes and it should encourage you to try again. With more trials, you will get to perfection. You have to remember that there was never any handbook of cooking in the beginning. The different meals that are known today around the world were eventual products of many trials and errors until the most tasteful edition came about.
Monday Mayhem Warriors: Captain America’s Human Torch
We’re up after WWE RAW with first impressions, pro wrestling news, Lego updates, and the latest pop culture on our minds live from Sorgatron Media Studio in Pittsburgh, PA!
This week we discuss WWE RAW’s Asuka vs Mickie James, Keith Lee vs Drew McIntyre, Retribution, Braun Strowman, Firefly Funhouse adding Wobbly Walrus and Alexis Bliss from Smackdown, looking back at Sorg’s experience with Warrior Wrestling in Chicago on Fite.tv, and what did Chris Evans show to America?
This is the ultimate fantasy booking game/competitive thought experiment. The goal is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – not necessarily to predict what WWE will do. That means we must play by the rules of our current reality. Everyone comes in their current (physical, emotional, psychological, etc.) state. Bottom line, if Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it.(more…)
Mayhem Mania 2020: Round 8
This. Is. Mayhem Mania!
This is the ultimate fantasy booking game/competitive thought experiment. The goal is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – not necessarily to predict what WWE will do. That means we must play by the rules of our current reality. Everyone comes in their current (physical, emotional, psychological, etc.) state. Bottom line, if Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it.
Mayhem Mania feels like it’s been flying by in the blink of an eye. We’re already into the penultimate round and on the verge of Patreon In The Bank! More on what to expect in a moment, but first let’s get down to this week’s business.
The goal is to get eight matches onto our SUPERCARD. All matches start out being created on our “undercard” where they can be tweaked, improved or outright deleted in favor of something else by our players. If a match survives three consecutive weeks without being altered in any way, it graduates to the SUPERCARD where it’s locked in. That also opens a slot on our “undercard” to create another match. Seems simple enough, but if you’ve been following along over the years you know it can get complicated.
Heading into Round 8 of Mayhem Mania, three matches had graduated to our SUPERCARD!
MAYHEM MANIA 2020 SUPERCARD!

EDGE VS. MATT RIDDLE
(CREATED BY CHAD THE SHAD)
BIANCA BELAIR VS. JAZZ
(CREATED BY TINA KEYS)
This is much more than simply “fantasy booking”. All individuals come in their current contractual, physical, emotional, etc. state. So, if Vince McMahon can do it, you can do it. However, if Vince can NOT do it that means that individual is off limits. There’s room for some flexibility if you’re creative enough, and our players usually are.
Not every individual available to Vince is actually eligible, however. A select few have earned the ire of some of our players and been banished to SPACE JAIL. That means they can not be used in Mayhem Mania, but it’s not a life sentence. Every week we spin our special prize wheel to see if one of them can escape. It happens more often than you’d think, but this week SPACE JAIL remained secure and no one escaped.
With all that fun stuff out of the way, let’s get into the moves from Round 8 of Mayhem Mania 2020.
MAYHEM MANIA 2020: ROUND 8
MOVE 1 (by Thee Rizz)
SWAP Samoa Joe for Shinsuke Nakamura
MOVE 2 (by Mad Mike)
SWAP Keith Lee and Drew McIntyre
Move 3 (by Rob Brown)
ADD Samoa Joe to WALTER vs. Keith Lee
Move 4 (by BobbyFJtown)
DELETE Finn Balor vs. Aleister Black and CREATE Akira Tozawa & KUSHIDA & “American Dragon” Daniel Bryan vs. Angel Garza & Andrade & Jorge Bolly
Move 5 (by Kyle from Pitt Fight)
ADD Finn Balor to A.J. Styles vs. Adam Cole
So, after those latest moves here are the five newly created matches following Round 8 of Mayhem Mania.
Akira Tozawa & KUSHIDA & “American Dragon” Daniel Bryan vs. Angel Garza & Andrade & Jorge Bolly

REVEREND D-VON & DEACON BATISTA VS. PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK
(CREATED BY “COUNTRY HAMMER” JAMI JAMESON)
Guess what? That last match has survived three consecutive weeks without being altered in any way and it is now the FOURTH match to GRADUATE to our SUPERCARD! Congratulations to “The Country Hammer” Jami Jameson for creating such a great match. He’ll be invited back next week to receive his rewards. Those include:
1. One ticket to send an individual to SPACE JAIL (*Those in SPACE JAIL are not eligible to be used during Mayhem Mania, but have a chance to escape as you’ll see in a moment)
2. Name an entrant for the 2nd annual Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble, to be held during the Mayhem Mania preshow. (*Individuals who are entered into the Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble can still be used in another Mayhem Mania match)
3. Hand out a dose of punishment to one of next week’s players! (*I can not in good conscience allow any Patreon supporter of the Wrestling Mayhem Show to be punished during Patreon In The Bank, so this portion of the reward system is being suspended in this instance)
4. Create a new match to fill to open 8th spot on our “undercard”
Also, Mad Mike’s move for Round 8 did not survive to the end of the round. Thus, the “Alex Kahrs Rule” must be invoked. Mad Mike is invited back next week (He was coming anyway since it’s Patreon In The Bank) and he will be granted the FINAL move of the Patreon In The Bank round!
Some of you may be asking yourselves, “What in the hell is Patreon In The Bank?”
Patreon In The Bank is the dramatic, cataclysmic finale to Mayhem Mania. Every Patreon supporter of the Wrestling Mayhem Show is invited to participate. That means we’ll have many more than our standard five players for the “normal” rounds. Also, those players will receive enhanced abilities to alter matches, including adding stipulations, special referees and more!
I know you’re all wondering what awesome powers you’re being granted, so here they are!
Patreon Tier 1 (Fan Of The Show)
– Name an entrant for the Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble 2
– Nominate an individual to be the host of Mayhem Mania
– Make one “standard” move
– Add a stipulation/special referee/etc. to any “undercard” match
