This. Is. Mayhem Mania!

This is the ultimate fantasy booking game/competitive thought experiment. The goal is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – not necessarily to predict what WWE will do. That means we must play by the rules of our current reality. Everyone comes in their current (physical, emotional, psychological, etc.) state. Bottom line, if Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it.

Catch up on the lore! Check out the previous rounds of Mayhem Mania 2020!
It Begins! – Round 1 – Round 2 – Round 3 – Round 4 – Round 5 – Round 6 – Round 7 – Round 8

The long road that is Mayhem Mania 2020 has led tot his point: Patreon In The Bank! The final round of Mayhem Mania, where only Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show are invited to play.

Our goal is to get eight matches onto our SUPERCARD. All matches start out being created on our “undercard” where they can be tweaked, improved or outright deleted in favor of something else by our players. If a match survives three consecutive weeks without being altered in any way, it graduates to the SUPERCARD where it’s locked in. That also opens a slot on our “undercard” to create another match. Seems simple enough, but if you’ve been following along over the years you know it can get complicated.

Heading into Patreon In The Bank, four matches had graduated to our SUPERCARD!

The creator of any match that graduates to the SUPERCARD gets a collection of rewards. Sadly, Jami Jameson was not able to join us, so we appointed fellow independent professional wrestler Zander Gabriel to take his place. (*I could not in good conscience allow any Patreon supporter of the Wrestling Mayhem Show to be punished during Patreon In The Bank, so that portion of the reward system was suspended for this round.)

1. One ticket to send an individual to SPACE JAIL (*Those in SPACE JAIL are not eligible to be used during Mayhem Mania, but have a chance to escape as you’ll see in a moment): Zander sent Bret Hart to SPACE JAIL
2. Name an entrant for the 2nd annual Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble, to be held during the Mayhem Mania preshow. (*Individuals who are entered into the Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble can still be used in another Mayhem Mania match): Zander named Big Show
3. Hand out a dose of punishment to one of next week’s players!
4. Create a new match to fill to open 8th spot on our “undercard”: Zander created Mankind & Dude Love & Cactus Jack vs. Michael Cole & Byron Saxton & JBL

We thank Zander for helping us find our way through that bit of pre-show business. Now, let’s get into the meat of Patreon In The Bank. You’ll notice our Patreons were asked to nominate a musical guest, host and member of the announcing team for Mayhem Mania based on their Patreon tier.
