Given the amount of free time I have at the moment due to DAS FOOT, I am going to be introducing new content to the website and hopefully sprucing this place up so it looks more professional.

The weekly schedule is currently set for the following…

Monday: Blogamania (for updates, thoughts and questions answered. The best way to find out what YouTube account is being used and who has been name-dropping Botchamania this week)

Tuesday: Bad Matches, Good Memories (new article series on the famous and infamous worst matches in history. My attempt to educate and entertain the masses. Like Wrestlecrap when it was good.)

Windjammer Wednesday (This will showcase the wide variety of fun-filled fan made projects, such as the PokeBotchamanias, Soccermania and the fan-art currently dwelling on Deviantart)

Thursday Botchamania (or a worthy substitute/grovelling apology)

Freeshow Friday (Where an out-of-date or out-of-copyright show gets showcased for your viewing pleasure. Or displeasure in the case of some of the recent stuff already featured on there, but what the hell it’s free)

Still undecided about weekend content. Repost Sunday, where an old Botchamania gets highlighted as it’s prepared for the ongoing BOTCHAMANIA ARCHIVE? Music recommendations? (VG Music, I’m not going to be reviewing fucking Oasis).

Other news…
-Currently making plans for my American Holiday. I was pipe-dreaming of attending CZW’s Cage of Death weekend (seeing as I just missed their UK tour) and couch-surfing until MAGfest. I have since come to my senses and realised this is silly (COD is Dec 3rd, MAG is Jan 2nd) and instead am aiming for the much more plausible ROH Final Battle on Dec 23rd in NYC. Will see what happens. Going to a ROH event would be fun, just to see what ROH Fans actually look and sound like. Not sure if shouting ”Let me in, Jim Cornette buys my T-Shirts!” would work though.

-In case people were wondering, Tyson Kidd and Chris Hero really did send me the recent featured botches. Even better, Kidd commented he had been sent the video by The Great Khali. The thought of The Great Khali doing everyday normal activities like browse YouTube is funnier than the clip itself.

-Incidentally, the original name for the ‘Melee in Delhi’ was ‘Kormageddon’, but I changed it to avoid any offence. Kormas are delicious but the last thing I need is for people to accuse Botchamania for being racist again after the BLACK REF debacle. See, thought DOES go into these things.

-According to spellchecker, debacle isn’t a word.

-What’s in production, Botchamania wise? After the last few weeks worth of catching up on wrestling DVDs there’s a few ones I am in the process of making as I accumulate the footage (if that makes sense). Those are Wrestlemaniamania (Wrestlemania botches by year, aiming for the first ten in one video) and Hawkamania (Road Warrior Hawk’s promos deserve as much attention as the Ultimate Warriors for their quotability). The Sin Cara one has stalled as I was genuinely expecting the guy to be released a few weeks ago. Once he loses his job and regains his credibility and natural talent in Mexico, SinCaraMania (These things need better names. SinCaranarchyRulz? SinOfTheRing?) will be created.

-Kevin Steen suggested a Botchamania video of just him. Sadly(?), the frigger doesn’t seem to botch much so I am relying upon clips such as these…

…which really, only enhances the appeal of Kevin Steen. He’s already using the whole ‘social media to build a feud’ with his twitter wars and forum hacking with ROH, so he’s ahead of the curve. Not bad for the ‘fat Canadian guy’ as Zandig used to call him.

-I have a habit of announcing YES, THE WEBSITE WILL BE BETTER AND CONSTANTLY UPDATED just as something bad happens and messes everything up, so announcing this when I am half-crippled and not going anywhere for the next few weeks/months will surely mean everything works properly for a change.

…right?
