Mayhem Mania - Round 5

This... is... 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.

If you're just joining us, here are the recaps of previous rounds.
Round 1 - Round 2 - Round 3 - Round 4

Round 5 was held during the Wrestling Mayhem Show (@MayhemShow) on February 17. But before any new changes were made, I announced the first match to GRADUATE to the permanent SUPER CARD as a result of it surviving through 3 rounds without anyone making a change to it.

The Miz vs. Damien Mizdow

Congratulations! The graduation of the above match meant that a slot opened up on our 8-match card. Since Sorgatron created the match that graduated, he got to CREATE a new one to fill the void. That was followed by 5 other members of the WMS Universe making their single "move" or a change to the card. Those participants had the usual 3 options:

1. SWAP a wrestler/tag team 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.

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.
