Mayhem Mania - Round 1

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

Round 1 was held during the Wrestling Mayhem Show (@MayhemShow) on January 20. 4 legendary members of the WMS Universe took turns "drafting" or creating WrestleMania matches. Each person made two selections for a grand total of 8 matches. (Jump to 1:33:50 to watch!)

This is not fantasy booking (even though it kind of is). All wrestlers come in their current physical and emotional state. All wrestlers must have a reasonable chance of being hired by WWE to appear on the real-life WrestleMania card.

Below is the initial card. The real fun begins with Round 2. That will be explained at the bottom of this post.

What happens next?

In Round 2 and the rounds that follow, participants will be chosen to make a single "move" or a change to the card. Those participants will have 3 options:

1. SWAP a wrestler/tag team already on the card with another already on the card.
2. ADD an unused wrestler/tag team to an existing match.
3. TRADE a match for an entirely new match with unused wrestlers.
