Botchamania

Botchamania is a web series, primarily hosted on YouTube, that focuses on compiling and showcasing mistakes, blunders, and embarrassing moments from the world of professional wrestling, known as "botches".

[1][2] Although he did not create the series, it is most commonly associated with British video editor Matthew "Maffew" Gregg, who took control in 2007 and has continued it into the present day, despite several lengthy disputes with many wrestling promotions over copyright and fair use.

In the mid-2000s, a user named "TheOriginalMikey" uploaded a wrestling bloopers video (set to the album version of Black Eyed Peas' "Let's Get It Started") to a number of web forums.

[6] By 2015, Botchamania had developed a more positive image within wrestling, with stars such as Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dolph Ziggler making public reference to it.

By 2015, Botchamania had experienced at least nine YouTube accounts made for the show being banned by the platform, primarily due to content strikes generated by WWE material.

[1] In March 2021, All Elite Wrestling issued a number of copyright strikes against Botchamania after it featured content from Blood & Guts, in which cameras filming Chris Jericho performing a stunt in which he fell from the top of a cage showed him landing safely onto crash pads.
