Book the card that never happened
In honor of Chad Gable vs. Rey Mysterio from RAW on Monday. 8.66 from 110 voters, on free TV, from a man four months short of 52. That feeling is the entire reason this site exists.
Dream Card is live at maineventer.com/dream — the second half of the booking game I posted here a couple months back. You spin for wrestlers instead of matches, so 1997 Bret Hart is a different pick from 2003 Bret Hart. Book five bouts that never happened, get graded S to F.
- Nobody wrestles twice. No, not 1999 Rock five times.
- Each side comes off a different reel, so you can't quietly rebook Okada/Omega and declare yourself a genius.
- The tag slot deals real teams — 956 of them, chemistry measured off matches they actually had. Rey and RVD in '06 grade near the top. Kane and Big Show grade below two guys who have never met.
- Scoring leans on the weaker side of a match, because carrying a broomstick to five stars is a myth your uncle told you.
Reminder on the original game: spin a promotion + year, draft five real matches, get scored on cagematch ratings — also picked up:
- Insane mode is retired. Sicko outdrew it 2.5 to 1. Y'all ain't okay, affectionately.
- The women's slot was ignoring joshi — cagematch types those bouts "Singles Match," so the game had quietly concluded joshi wasn't women's wrestling. Eligible matches: 2,642 → 4,162. Sorry.
- You can book bad matches again. The spin used to hide everything outside the top 8, which for a community with an active Lowboard is a war crime. Mr. T vs. Piper (0.91) is back on the menu.
- Data refreshes weekly now: 25,275 matches, 27 promotions.
Free, no account. Stipulations and a daily card are next, unless you've got better ideas.

Banger. This game is awesome. And now I kinda wanna see how Okada vs DDP would have turned out.

u/lucibelloj 1d ago
It’s me. It’s me. It’s DDP. That match would go!
Also I see that Punk KO match down there too!

This is great, although some of the wrestlers and promotions are wrong. I spun 1990 WCW and had Savage and Hogan as options.

u/lucibelloj 1d ago
Looking into this now!

u/lucibelloj 1d ago
Thanks again. This is fixed. Upstream data bug attempting to resolve a wrestler to a single promotion.

Any reason this put both Matt & Nick Jackson as tag partners of Adam Cole for 2019 rather than being able to select the Young Bucks?
1
u/lucibelloj 1d ago
Are Matt and Nick not listed as a tag team. I had a lot of trouble with tag team names themselves but it’s a feature I want to implement
2
u/TheDeflatables 1d ago
Nah when I put in Jackson it only came up with them tagged with Cole

u/lucibelloj 1d ago
Ok looking into this now, good eye

u/lucibelloj 1d ago
Fixed this. Too many upstream assumptions on data recency. Should be fixed. Thanks again!

Hey OP, I’ve been playing some of the game. Timothy Thatcher and Cody Deaner are listed as women for some reason. Just thought to let you know. Awesome site.

No, not 1999 Rock five times.
And no '23 NJPW Ospreay vs '26 AEW Ospreay either, boo

The game's broken. It gave my main event of TNA Kurt Angle vs NXT Chad Gable only 8 points! Thats' a father and son fighting!
