This. is. Mayhem Mania!

\\n\\n

Not quite a game. Not really a contest. More like a competitive thought experiment. The object is to create the best WrestleMania card possible \\u2013 NOT necessarily to predict what WWE will do.

\\n\\n

This is not fantasy booking. It\\u2019s more like reality booking. Any match created must have at least a chance of happening in this year\\u2019s 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.

\\n\\n

Simply put, you\\u2019re Vince McMahon with infinite cash and no self-control.

\\n\\n

For those of you who are just joining us, here\\u2019s where you can catch up on Mayhem Mania 2019: Opening Round

\\n\\n

Round 1 of Mayhem Mania 2019 was held during the Wrestling Mayhem Show on Tuesday, January 29. 5 people were invited to each make a single change to our existing card of 8 matches. Here\\u2019s how it went down.

Prior to the start of Round 2, a bounty of ELIMINATORS were awarded based on the results of our Royal Rumble Challenge. ELIMINATORS allow a player to eliminate any single person from being used at all during this year\\u2019s Mayhem Mania. An ELIMINATOR can be used at any time once it\\u2019s been earned. Here\\u2019s the list of who\\u2019s been eliminated thus far.
