The mayhem met the moment.

Mayhem on Mills, Orlando’s DIY wrestling fed, put on a card of grappling and chaos Sunday evening. The crew of passionate locals build their wrestling ring from the ground up, reinventing the Veranda at Thornton Park as the “VERANDADOME” for one night.

And wow, was everyone sure ready to rumble. Body-slams, takedowns and daredevil dives  were complemented by an ever-thickening running plot — from a tag-team melee to a warriors’ revenge and the battle of the brats. Fighters like Lexi Gomez, Dirty Devin Diaz, Casey Vai, Leroy Shogun, Daniel Starling, Robert Martyr and Drennen left it all on the mat, to the delight of the assembled crowd.

Mayhem on Mills always shocks and never disappoints.
