Mayhem Mania 2022: Week 6

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

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
Jessie McKay
Rey Fenix
Sonny Kiss
Ultra Mantis Black
Will Ospreay
Ziggy Haim

Five moves were made on last Tuesday’s Wrestling Mayhem Show. Let’s see what changes our players made!

We’re back from our holiday hiatus with Mad Mike, Larry, Mainstream Matt, and Sorg! And, there’s so much happening this week. Between celebrating our podcast birthday to prepping for this year’s Mayhem Mania we’ve got plenty of hilarity, including:

We’re back after our holiday break – and we’re officially a year older as we celebrate our birthday with Sorg and the crew.

Mainstream Matt totally rolled in with his Sam Adonis shirt. Best. Birthday. Party. Ever.

John Cena is slowly turning into John Laurinaitis.
Mainstream Matt is crushing dreams.
The biggest thing from Wrestle Kingdom 13? Okada’s short shorts.
Ibushi and Ospreay are magic.
There are a ton of exclusive contracts in various companies – how will that affect some of the former talent team-ups we’ve seen?
This week’s Big Question:
Part 1: Who was your favorite wrestler when you were 14?
Part 2: Make a match you’d want to see with your 14-year-old wrestler and someone from today’s roster.
We’re headed back in time to 2006 – remembering what wrestling was like when the Mayhem Show was born.
Mad Mike unearthed a fan mail from Juggalo Jamie – just for our birthday celebration.
This is the part of the show where Sorg gets weepy and retrospective about all that he’s seen as a result of the podcast.
