Mayhem Mania 2022 – Week 7

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

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!

Move #1 (by Ronnie Starks a.k.a. “Steve”)
ADD Danhausen to The Fiend vs. “Joker” Sting

Move #2 (by Sorgatron)
SWAP Jeff Hardy for Jay White

Move #3 (by Roni Nicole)
KILL Zombie “Rick Rude” & Ricky Morton & Soultaker & Lord Zoltan vs. Dink & Swoggle & Sunny (1993) & The Executioner and
CREATE Naomichi Marafuji & Taiji Ishimori vs. Minoru Suzuki & Tajiri

Move #4 (by Tina Keys)
KILL AJ Lee & CM Punk vs. Dr. Britt Baker & Adam Cole and
CREATE Bryan Danielson vs. Josh Alexander

Move #5 (by Mad Mike)
SWAP Johnny Knoxville and Samoa Joe

So, with the moves from Week 6 of Mayhem Mania now in the books, let’s take a look at what our cards look like.

Night 1 (WWE) has two newly created matches.

Gunther vs. Johnny Knoxville
(Created by Mad Mike)

David Arquette vs. Samoa Joe
(Created by Mad Mike)

And we have four matches that survived the round without being altered in any way.

Ronda Rousey vs. Meiko Satomura
(Created by Mad Mike)

Corey Graves vs. Elias
(Created by Sorgatron)

Beth Phoenix vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Gonzalez

Night 2 (Forbidden Door) has … newly created matches!

Danhausen vs. The Fiend vs. “Joker” Sting
(Created by Ronnie Starks a.k.a. “Steve”)

Jay White vs. Darby Allin vs. Lee Moriarty
(Created by Sorgatron)

Naomichi Marufuji & Taiji Ishimori vs. Minoru Suzuki & Tajiri
(Created by Roni Nicole)

Bryan Danielson vs. Josh Alexander
(Created by Tina Keys)

And there are two matches that were not altered in any way.

Wardlow vs. Nick Gage
(Created by Mad Mike)

Guerrillas of Destiny vs. Pretty Boy Killers (Keith Lee & Shane Taylor)
(Created by Sorgatron)
