PromoMania
PromoMania is the annual Max Wrestling Podcast special which takes place in March / April, the weekend of the WWE's WrestleMania - and like WrestleMania, is thought of as Max Wrestling's biggest event.
Typically, PromoMania involves more than one promo exhibition as well as Championship matches.
The Iron Bank Contract is on the line at the PromoMania Pre-Launch Show - which provides the winner with the right to challenge the Knowledge Champion - or, as of 2021, any Champion - at any time in the following twelve months until the next PromoMania. Though the Iron Bank Challenge takes place before PromoMania, the contract does not actually activate until the week following PromoMania.
