🎉 Congratulations on 500 Maff! I know you're too modest to think of wrestlers from Stone Cold to LA Knight casually using "botchamania" as part of their vocabulary, but thank you for being a cornerstone of wrestling fandom for all these years. Myself & V1 (not OOC) send their regards :D
8:04 "WHAT ARE YOU A PERVERT?!" I laughed so hard I stated to wheeze. LMFAO. Love you Taz, get well soon. And thank you Matthew for making this great videos.
@@Buskeeeeeeee Hes a legit solid / believable type guy. If Gotch paired up with someone like Anthony Henry, they would be a beast tag team in AEW / ROH. Gotch actually knows how to grapple and fight for real, and can strike and grapple spar with the best of them in the middle of matches. He needs to just be a sarcastic quick witted asshole type character, who will beat your ass, and he would work pretty well. He needs to put that same energy he had on Enzo, on TV and into promos and he could be on TV again.
Crazy how the early days of botchamania just looked like a regular wrestling compilation to the giant phenomenon it is now..even wrestlers from both big companies know about this..here's to 1,000
The George Carlin bit and the Livin on a Prayer bit are both epic. As someone who has been watching since day 1, thank you Maffew, for all the entertainment over the years 😄
31:23 This is the funniest thing I've seen in Botchamania since a luchadore ladder match where the ladders were all bent and broken. Flawless editing and timing. I was dying of laughter.
From just another wrestling TH-camr to having his channel mentioned on WWE programming, this man is now fully ingrained in the fiber of this wonderfully wacky world I've loved for 30 years. Thank you Maffew! (Clap clap 👏 👏 👏 )
One day in 2014 I thought about botches in pro wrestling, something I left behind since 1999. I discovered uploads of Botchamania and became super addicted and got back to wrestling not long after. Thank you Maff. You've been a constant in my life for the last decade and listening to you on vids and podcasts have always been a treat. Congrats on 500 eps of the thing you picked up and kept alive for years and years.
Botchamania was less than 10 episodes old when I first saw it and I've been subbed to the various channels since (including someone else's backup channel, table of japan). No one has come close to making a youtube channel I've so consistently enjoyed (OSW is a close 2nd). Thank you maffew.
24:16 this monologue really aged well. It was genius whoever put this together, and if George Carlin were alive and a wrestling fan, I’m sure that he would be loving every moment.
500. So many good memories. I barely watch wrestling now but I still watch these from time to time. We are a big group within the wrestling community, we are family forever
500! I started watching Botchamania in the Wild West TH-cam days of 2006-07 and you've been lifting my spirits from high school, to serving in the military, and now being a husband and father in my 30s. For all of us who've had you in our lives this long, thank you Maffew! Also, I had no idea Chimmel had a little Soprano in him 😂
9:14 - 10:20 That whole technical difficulty bit with Jeff Jarrett and Adam Page was like looking at an unfinished Analog Horror. It’s like waiting for a jump scare that never happens
Discovered BM around 2010 and I still remember the wait and the release for EP 200. It was 2011 or 12 I think. Much simpler, much better times. Still here.
23:11 PATRICE O'NEAL!!!!!!! FORMER WWF WRITER, LEGENDARY COMIC, OPIE AND ANTHONY GUEST, AND BLACK PHILLIP RADIO SHOW HOST ON BOTCHAMANIA 500!!!!! I'M IN TEARS 😭 BLESS YOU, MAFFEW!!!!
The Cerveza Cristal bit is, without exaggeration, the best joke I've seen in the 20+ years I've been on the internet. Thank you Maffew I'm gonna keep rofling for the rest of the week
been here since the headbanger botch days. the cultural impact this series has left on wrestling fandom (for good or worse) is bigger than anyone could imagine. congrats, halfway to 1000!
Congratulations Maffew on hitting this incredible milestone with Botchamania! Your ability to find humor in the wild world of wrestling has kept us all entertained and laughing for years. Here’s to many more episodes filled with hilarious botches and commentary! Keep up the amazing work!
Congratulations Maffew! Heck of a milestone. Been watching since the beginning, I always look forward to your uploads, and it's crazy to see the series come this far. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment over the years.
Big fan of Botchamania since early 2013 as a 15 year old and still until this day. The Steinermania, DelRiomania and Sincaramania are my favorite videos from this series that I hope they continue for more comedy and wrestling. Jezzuus!😂
A Chicken walks into a bar, the Bartender asks the Chicken "What bring you in?" The Chicken says "I saw this place from across the road and thought I'd check it out." 😄👍
That intro was a work of art, I'm also disappointed that the simon gotch video wasn't recommended to me, youtube LOVES recommended stuff I've already seen anyway
I haven't watched wrestling properly sicne 2008 and recently catching up on old shit in the 80's/90's and it's such a relieving comedic comfort to know this serious exits. I first saw it ages ago when it was the OG channel. It's a helpful pass time for many of us and it's just a great communtity who love it for the buzz.
Thank you for the hours and hours of laughs and entertainment maffew....I've been a huge fan since somewhere in the teens or 20s, and still a consistent watcher as soon as they come out.. Here's to another 500 :)
Maffew, I’ve been a fan from the very beginning before TH-cam would even allow your videos. It’s been amazing to see how your work has grown and has come to be acknowledged by the industry itself. Congratulations on the milestone achievement, and thanks for all the laughs over the years.
Simon segue into that Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular was very cromulent. And congratulations on 500 episodes Maffew! Been watching since 2009 and seeing your channel and brand grow has been awesome.

Hell ya!
A can of coke for this lad!
Marks 😂
A winner is Maffew!
"What A Mark."
8:04 "WHAT ARE YOU A PERVERT?!"
I laughed so hard I stated to wheeze. LMFAO. Love you Taz, get well soon. And thank you Matthew for making this great videos.
May this show go on forever... forever... forever... forever... forever... forever... forever... forever...
Have no fears they have stories for years, like Samoa Joe gets a cell phone, Bart Gunn owns a bear, how about a Super Crazy wedding?
_"♪ They'll never stop the botching.... Do do do do....♪"_
Wheres the lie?
TERRY TERRY TERRY

As an older New Jersey Millenial I never knew how much I would enjoy a wrestling based music video for Livin on a Prayer.
And because this is the 500th episode of Botchamania, I will see each and every one of you when we hit 1,000.
I'll see you there, brother! I'll be like 50 lol
👊you got it
It'll be like 15 years lol
@@keithr3771 I'll probably be 37. (22 now)
Leaving this comment so I can come back when I'm 45 and remember the good times with you all
Congrats on 500! 🎉🎉
I lost it when I noticed Gotch was wearing the same shirt from the shoot.
Gotchamania brother 😊😊😊
WAAAASHING MACHINEEEE
That was the peak of Gotch’s career. Didn’t have a notable run on the main roster, but boy does he know how to talk shit😂
I would give almost anything to have an enzo v gotch feud
@@Buskeeeeeeee Hes a legit solid / believable type guy. If Gotch paired up with someone like Anthony Henry, they would be a beast tag team in AEW / ROH.

Tony Chimel turned into a NY mobster 😂
Chimel going full Stone Cold is a classic.
Never seen Chimel so pissed 😂
@@JonathanThomasEMPseemed like the shirt guy did it by accident. Chimel was livid though.
Factz he was heated 😂😂😂
Put a little SMICK-DOWN on it!

Didn't realize Paulie from "The Soprano's" was based on Tony Chimel.
Howling with laughter
😂😂😂😂
1:35-3:45 😂😂😂
-- I'm the guy that screamed at Jericho about January 6 😂 *I'M A PROFESSIONAL WRITER AND GETTING ON BM 500 IS MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN LIFE!*
Went to Victory Road 4th row with a congrats on 500 Maffew sign only to find out we weren't on camera side, the ultimate botch
That SUCKS!! 😂@@pauroc5517
@pauroc5517 Similar thing happened to me, except it was a bright orange Taz sign that somehow only ended up on TV once
woah man. you're a big deal.
@@velldeak5195 my point was quite literally that I'm NOT
I miss Taz and Cole, one of the all-time best teams.
Not as good as Cole and Slaw though
Yeah, that bit was funny as fuck and only 8min in...
Nostalgia Jones over here but I digress
Both are doing some of their best work rn, would love to see them do a duo again in present day wrestling
@@wilcee238😂
The George Carlin bit and the Livin on a Prayer bit are both epic. As someone who has been watching since day 1, thank you Maffew, for all the entertainment over the years 😄
That Bobby Fish ending.. the anticipation is incredible
The Cerveza Cristal one was the cherry on top
This is by far in the top 5 of botchamania endings. Everything about it was beautiful and meaningful, creating tension.
Cerveza cristal sucks, its one lf the worst in chile i dont know how it got to this point
31:23 This is the funniest thing I've seen in Botchamania since a luchadore ladder match where the ladders were all bent and broken. Flawless editing and timing. I was dying of laughter.
Man I still remember when Maffew was teasing the end of the show after episode 300. Glad he kept going! Congrats Maffew!!
That Livin' on a Prayer segment was funny AF. Fanks Maffew.
A many strikes were earned for us to get to this point. Congrats, Maffew.
From just another wrestling TH-camr to having his channel mentioned on WWE programming, this man is now fully ingrained in the fiber of this wonderfully wacky world I've loved for 30 years. Thank you Maffew! (Clap clap 👏 👏 👏 )
RIP Phil Hartman. HARDCORE NUDITY!!?!!!! Happy 500, Botch.
Been watching since middle school. Now I’m 21. See you boys at 1000.
EVERYTHING FOR YEARS AND YEARS HAS BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS! BOTCHAMANIA 500: WE'RE HALFWAY THERE! 😂

The Byte This segment was excellent. Thanks for all the laughs over the years and congrats on 500, Maffew!
13:54 The remix I never knew I wanted 😂
Simon Gotch buries Botchamania!
Recommendations obliterated for a year
23:11
R.I.P. Patrice o Neal never thought I’d hear his voice in a botchamania episode and it was a perfect edit
Taz was absolutely unhinged on that episode of Byte This!
Kana doing…. Kana stuff at intro I was not ready for. Well played.
I've wanted someone to do the George Carlin "Guys Named Todd" bit on Botchamania for YEARS now. Thank you for making my dreams come true.
Yo… I cried a little at the end w the “Living on a Prayer” and then Kane zapped me back into laughing w those electric cables 😂
Congrats on the milestone and a special thanks to the tables out there for making all this possible.
Especially the Japanese ones.
1:39 the black kid in the right corner is a time-traveler...that's the same guy from when Brock Lesnar broke the streak
. . .that dude was WAY fatter than this one. . .
500! I started watching Botchamania in the Wild West TH-cam days of 2006-07 and you've been lifting my spirits from high school, to serving in the military, and now being a husband and father in my 30s.

Also, I had no idea Chimmel had a little Soprano in him 😂
The Bon Jovi skit killed me dead ! Right from "Tommy used to work on the docks" LOL !!!! Too fn funny .
NGL, that was a wicked montage I have to say. 🙂
i thought it was just gonna be the first verse and the chorus i didn't expect it to be the entire fucking song
Man...that montage at the end was such a nostalgic walk through wrestling history...well done old boy.
9:14 - 10:20
That whole technical difficulty bit with Jeff Jarrett and Adam Page was like looking at an unfinished Analog Horror. It’s like waiting for a jump scare that never happens
I thought it was my phone bugging out lol
It took me a second to remember i was watching that show when it happened. 😂😂😂
Discovered BM around 2010 and I still remember the wait and the release for EP 200. It was 2011 or 12 I think. Much simpler, much better times. Still here.
Unironically I've watched more Botchamania then raw and let me tell you, I enjoyed the Botchamania more.
👊
Same here. Botchamnia and OSW are the only interests in wrestling I have left
23:11 PATRICE O'NEAL!!!!!!!
FORMER WWF WRITER, LEGENDARY COMIC, OPIE AND ANTHONY GUEST, AND BLACK PHILLIP RADIO SHOW HOST ON BOTCHAMANIA 500!!!!!
I'M IN TEARS 😭 BLESS YOU, MAFFEW!!!!
Fighting CR claims the entire way. More power to maffew
He probably used pocket sand.
Botchamania is incredible. Thank you Maffew. It’s the best thing going in wrestling these days. 🙏💪
1:13 Never change Maffew
Man, Pilot Wings on SNES was the shit!!!! Hard as hell, but fun to play, for sure! Eff them rings, though! Happy 500th, Maffew!!!! Here's to 500 more!
I’m surprised Simon Gotch didn’t call himself Simon “Botch” this one time, but maybe that was the botch. JEEZUS! Thanks Maffew.
The Cerveza Cristal bit is, without exaggeration, the best joke I've seen in the 20+ years I've been on the internet. Thank you Maffew I'm gonna keep rofling for the rest of the week
2:54 Taz was about to digress.
I hit that timer like 40 times.
😂
500 botchamania eps before GTA VI
The Plok Music was Perfect! Manhunt Danielson...OOF! :D
Holy JEZUZ The Bobby Fisch Part was Divine!
This will be a day long remembered.
(Stone Cold Steve Austin voice)
*WHAT?!*
Dude that carlin ending was pure gold bravo man.
Congratulations Maff! Massive achievement, can't wait for the next 500 x
A buddy of mine showed me botchamania around the episode 40 mark. And honestly it got me back into wrestling. Thank you maffew
A fantastic episode truly worthy of such a milestone. The TK/Jaguars/Danielson bit in particular had me rolling. Congrats on 500, Maffew!
Congrats on 500! Here's to at least 20 or 30 more!
Simon Gotch Buries Enzo Amore lived in my recommended for half a decade.
And Enzo was still more over than that dude lol
It went a way for a little bit too then youtube went "Hey you haven't seen this right?"
It was like the Ring video or something, the only way of getting it out of the recommendations was to watch the damn thing.
Been here for the entire ride since day one and gonna be here till the last day. Congrats and heres to 500 more.
been here since the headbanger botch days. the cultural impact this series has left on wrestling fandom (for good or worse) is bigger than anyone could imagine. congrats, halfway to 1000!
Was that Asuka in the intro ? Nice....
Yes
I will die an old, old man and I will never stop laughing at "Unedited footage" gags.
Congratulations Maffew on hitting this incredible milestone with Botchamania! Your ability to find humor in the wild world of wrestling has kept us all entertained and laughing for years. Here’s to many more episodes filled with hilarious botches and commentary! Keep up the amazing work!
Congrats to 500 episodes and a big hooray for Cannonfodder! Loved to play it on my Amiga500. "War! Never been so much fun."
21:41 that triggered a REAL bad memory for Book. Happy 500!
Thank you for all of the laughs over the years, here’s to many more ☝🏼
that game reference at 21:55 wow you just unlocked a core memory lol
Congrats, Maffew! Thank you for all your dedication, all these years. You have given me many laughs in times of darkness.
27:43 this was incredibly done. Bravo
500 Episodes of hilarious Botchamania videos from the Champion of Champions, MAFFEW. Thank you very much for the laughter.
Simon Gotch for Ep 500 feels right. It was great.
Happy 500, Maffew! Your contribution to wrestling is immeasurable
500, what a milestone! Been watching these since they were in the single digits. Thank you for all the years of entertainment Maffew.
500 Episodes!!!! Keep putting out great content!!
Genuinely one of the few legit old school creators still killing it - BM is what the internet was made for
500.. 500 Episodes of one of the greatest series in TH-cam and the internet.
Thank you Maffew, keep up the good work
Congratulations Maffew! Heck of a milestone. Been watching since the beginning, I always look forward to your uploads, and it's crazy to see the series come this far. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment over the years.

who else here thought we were actually going to go a whole month with out getting one of these episodes???
also.... MM Slapping the taste out of Torrie's mouth is WHY he was *The Ultimate Human*
right here
First thoughts
As soon as Gotch started listing things he’s known for, I knew where it was going. Top shelf intro.
Dropped everything I was doing when I saw this was up.
🎉 here's to another 500 as long as a certain someone continues to enjoy making them.
😄👍
Aw, don't sell yourself short, Simon, I also know you for that S-tier moustache
Congratulations on 500 episodes. This has been a ride. Thanks for the memories.
