How it all started…
In the beginning (before YouTube), a man named TheOriginalMikey created a ‘Wrestling Mistakes and Bloopers’ video that got passed around various forums. When YouTube gained popularity around 2006, KiKrusher99 decided to re-edit the video with his own music selections:
He then re-edited it and added some more botches as ‘Botchamania 2′ (Video not available, but it’s near enough the same video)
JoeyNightHeat had the idea of making another video with new material in his own er, style.
I watched Botchamania 3 in mid-2007 and thought ”I could make a better video than this in my sleep” and made Botchamania 4. I had so many clips left over that I made Botchamania 5, and had so many clips left over from that I made Botchamania 6 etc etc then I made Botchamania 163 and waited 2 months before making the next one.
I later made my own version of Botchamanias 1,2 and 3 so I could stress that I didn’t make the first ones. Partly because I try and credit people’s work where I can and also because I didn’t want anybody to think I made the 3rd one.
So here’s to TheOriginalMikey, KiKrusher99 and JoeyNightheat. None of whom I’ve ever spoken to or had the chance to thank. THANKS GUYS!
