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.(more…)

Here’s the list of who’s been eliminated thus far.

Wrestling Mayhem Show 641: I’d Rather Be A Rosebud Than A Ho
We’ve got Londyn Ali in studio following WWE Evolution. She’s sitting down with Sorg and Mad Mike to talk about:
We’re thinking there might be a bit of an Evolution on tonight’s show.
WWE Evolution occurred over the weekend. Sorg watched on TV. Londyn Ali is supporting the ladies. And, Mad Mike was there in person!
Londyn Ali is sharing some thoughts on WWE Evolution – as a woman in wrestling.
Mad Mike is sharing how WWE Evolution was live at the arena.
WWE Evolution did really well – as in a lot of show merch was sold out when Mad Mike tried to buy things!
We’re learning that there may have been a dark match that we didn’t see on WWE Evolution.
We are learning just how far behind Sorg is on his wrestling watching.
Londyn Ali is sharing some thoughts on the Mae Young Classic.
Becky Lynch v Charlotte Flair at WWE Evolution was an outstanding match – not just an outstanding womens wrestling match – an outstanding match. Period.
The remainder of the horsewomen have arrived!
Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella showed us that there was a decent split of fans for each side.
It was great to see the shirts fans wore for WWE Evolution. Everything from Bull Nakano to Jazz.
When Producer Missy grabs the mic to say something about WWE Evolution, you know she has opinions!
Sorg is sharing some distaste about RAW and Smackdown following WWE Evolution. It seems like WWE has problems with follow through.
Halloween has officially come to the show.
This week’s Big Question: What has been the best Halloween segment in or around wrestling?
Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy got their own Halloween special.
Londyn Ali is giving us some knowledge on whose careers began on the ho train.
We are trying to explain the Hardy Halloween special to Londyn Ali. She thinks we’re on drugs.

Nikki and John are back together! #LoveIsReal

Larry has watched nothing but NJPW.

It all comes down to this. After more than two months, Mayhem Mania 2018 has reached its final stop: the epic Patreon In The Bank round! Only Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show were invited to participate and I’m happy to report that we had eight of them take the time to joins us live during Episode 613 of the Wrestling Mayhem Show.

Before we get into what’s happened, I must mention what’s coming next. We’ll be doing a special Viewer’s Choice move in our next round and instead of using fate to randomly choose which of your moves to use, we’ll be adding some skill into the mix with the ELIMINATION CHAMBER CHALLENGE!
Here’ how it works: When you send in your move, also give us your prediction for who will win Sunday’s men’s Elimination Chamber match and total time for the match (the tiebreaker will be decided by whoever came the closest without going over). We’ll reward the correct prediction by using your move in next week’s round. What a deal!
We had two players back for Week 4 of Mayhem Mania 2018 under the “Alex Kahrs Rule”, Kyle Turner andBobbyfjtown. All of our players can each make a single change to the card. They have three options.
1. SWAP a wrestler/tag team for one already on the card, or bring for a name not currently on the card.
2. ADD an unused wrestler/tag team to an existing match.
3. KILL a match AND CREATE an entirely new match with wrestlers not currently on the card.
