Set to "Call on Me" (known to YTMNDers as the "X Never Changes Facial Expressions" song). Contributions lovingly came from 420chan's fabled /wooo/ board.

- Another random garbage match.
- #197:
- JR-Roonie, anyone?
Jim Ross: I never said I was a rapper!- An XPW announcer mouths off.
De hot dog give me diarrhea for 3 week!- Maffew leads into Conan's lever pull with Bela Lugosi's legendary monologue from 'Glen or Glenda, as portrayed in Ed Wood''.
Bela: VAIT...POOL DA STRINK! POOL DA STRINK!CZW Lever: JYAY-ZUS! - #198:
- It's Iron Sheik Appreciation Night at CZW, apparently.
- The CZW clips are setup with Randy Orton's theme playing (specifically "I Hear Voices in My Head, They Counsel Me, They Understand, They Talk to Me"). Before Conan pulls the lever, the phrase "PULL IT" blinks in and out repeatedly around him.
- #199: "And now, TNA Wrestling and Direct Auto Insurance present Genesis." Or as it's known in Europe... Ah who am I kidding? If TNA were a Sega console, it sure as hell wouldn't be the Mega Drive. TNA 32X ("Door into Summer" plays)
- #200:
- A fan yells, "Kick him in the dick!"—repeatedly—which leads to, "Carlito corpsing? SEND FOR THE MAN!"

- After the match, Kevin Steen had this to say:
- First came Insane Dusty Commentary, then Inane Black Snow commentary, then there was Insipid Taz commentary, even Intoxicated Piper Commentary, and then #200 gave us Imbecilic Michael Cole Commentary.
Botchamania 201–210
- #201:
- Mark Haskins landing on his neck after a botched Shooting Star Press. What makes the comedy of this moment is that Brock Lesnar's entrance music is playing during the clip! In case you don't get it, Brock Lesnar's most famous botch was nearly exactly like that of Haskins'.
- Suddenly, NINJAS! Thousands of them! Hey, Mr. Ninja! Watch out for that—(crash)...camera.
- A joshi wrestler does a big splash off the top rope...and her mask flies off.
- The very fact that Kurt Angle made light of the fact that he could say whatever he wanted and get cheered was hilarious enough, but what do you think it was the setup for?
Kurt: Truth be told, I'm not a fan of "the black people." And if I would go back in time, the one person in history I'd want to make tap out would have to be...
(Conan O'Brien and his Walker, Texas Ranger lever are superimposed over the face of Daivari)
SFX: JEEZUS! - #202
- The setup for CZW is heralded by game footage from Star Fox 64. As in, hitting the eight locks and shooting the rail switcher to make the Forever Train crash into a fuel bunker and explode:
Peppy: Okay, now shoot the switcher!
Zandig: NOBODY DOES THIS TO ZANDIG!
(The tank then shoots the switcher)
SFX: (as a communique from Conan O'Brien and his Walker, Texas Ranger lever) JEEZUS!
Peppy: Good going, Fox!
(Game footage of the tracks switching, and the remains of the Forever Train crashing through barriers before hitting the fuel bunker)
Zandig: AUUUUUUUGH...YOU'RE GONNA DIE! YOU ARE GONNA DIE!!!
(KABOOOOOOM!)- Zack Ryder comes into the ring in crutches...yet he seems to be using both feet normally. The dopey music really sells this bit.
John Cena: [Thinking] Which one of Zack's feet hurts? He's limping on both of them. [Zack climbs the steps to the ring painfully] Wait, you don't need crutches now? [Zack heads back] Why didn't he use the wheelchair anyway? Wheelchairs work on ramps. - #203:
- Adam Pearce and his manager argue with a fan to the point they start doing breath exercises, but it backfires spectacularly with "Scrap Iron corpsing? SEND FOR THE MAN!"
- If you have a C-show, if no one else can job it, and if you can stand them, them maybe you can book... *ratatatatat* The Ace-Team. And starring David Otunga.
- What really makes it is the footage of cars WWE wrecked throughout the nineties, set to the A-Team song.
- #204:
- In "Sing Along With Ex-Drew Gulak Fans", the CZW crowd really gives it to Drew with chants of "Whit-ney Hous-ton", "Brook-lyn Braw-ler", "Bar-ry Hor-o-witz", "Giiiiiillberg", "S.D. Jones", "Cena sucks", "Turtle-neck", "Su-per Dra-gon", "Fuck this shit", "Wife-beater", "You screwed Bret", "H-B-K" and "Under-taker". The commentators nearly lose it while Drew is understandably pissed.
- At TNA Victory Road '12, Jeremy Borash holds a cell phone and tells us that "Victory Road" is the No. 1 Twitter trend in the United Kingdom. Maffew then reminds all that "There's no legal way of watching TNA PPVs live in the UK. Be careful what you brag about."
- #205:
- This week's Madame de Stael gag lists "Boredom" as no Scott Steiner, and "Suffering" as, err.... no Scott Steiner.
- An extremely heavy man makes his debut for an indy promotion, leans back on the ropes during his introduction... and breaks the ring. Maffew even works in the losing horns from The Price Is Right to add insult to injury.
- Poor Maria Menounos really gets it in this Botchamania for her performance at WrestleMania XXVIII. Sure, she got a lot of acclaim for working most of the match with broken ribs, but it's not her overall performance that gets nitpicked by Maffew. For starters, Maria and Kelly Kelly performed a double stinkface to Eve Torres and as Maffew points out, "Celebrity Woman stinkfaces Eve. Her fake tan rubs off on her arse."note To make matters worse, she became the victim of "Corpsing at 'Mania? SEND FOR THE MAN!"
- Apparently, CZW has invested in Japanese tables.
- *DANCING KHALI TIME*

- The episode closes with the time on SmackDown that Big Show accidentally trampled and knocked out A.J.

A happy ending?

Ladies and gentlemen: There Is No JYAYZUS in CZW.Chris Rock: Don't go to clubs with {THE WIFE BEATER!!!} Sure it feels safe inside, but what about {THE HATE CLUB!!!} waiting outside with guns? They know you ain't got none. {I GUARANTEE IT!!!} If a woman tells you she's 20, and looks 16, she's {FIVE!!!}.

- In response to the assumption that Brock Lesnar was the one who attacked Sami Zayn backstage at Money in the Bank 2019 to take his spot in the namesake ladder match, Paul Heyman exclaims "Why not just blame Brock Lesnar for the John F. Kennedy assassination?" So of course a clip of Lesnar throwing a ladder over a cameraman while he made his (rushed) entrance to the match is set to the "Back, and to the left" gag.

- This edition features audio clips of CM Punk's story on The Art of Wrestling podcast as featured on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. And while John Oliver was professional enough to not show video clips of the match in which Punk, after being Z-Pack'd to hell and back for a staph infection, shit himself in a match on SmackDown, Maffew, who found the match Punk and Oliver were talking about on the WWE Network...was considerably less professional. Especially considering this track from Conker's Bad Fur Day was playing throughout the bit.Punk gets clotheslined
*holds belly*
Takes a chinlock
When he stands up
That mat is stained
Ambrose unwisely works over Punk's belly
Leading to more stains
and maybe a bit of poo flying out

- A match between two female wrestlers at CMLL ends in a crucifix pin that somehow manages to have both women's shoulders up. Made more hilarious in that the match is later superimposed on a television screen watched by a smiling Seth Rollins, as if he's relieved to have found a match with a worse finish that the aforementioned HIAC match he was in.
- Charlotte Flair and Bayley wrestle at Manila. They use a table. It's a Japanese table! (And then Bayley uses a kendo stick on the table.) This causes some people in the audience to chant "Fuck you table!", resulting in "I AM— FUCK YOU TABLE!"

- The final shot in the opening of Jim Cornette has the face of Brian Zane pasted over it in the wake of Cornette's controversial call during NWA Power. Maffew's elaboration in the description deserves mention too:Cornette has been replaced in the intro with a younger, sexier angry white guy after Botchamania was notified of his comments this week regarding Final Fantasy VIII being "over-rated" which we all know is the only topic to unify wrestling fans worldwide. It's a good job Cornette Face hasn't been a thing for years (because fans on message boards started using FUCK THIS COMPANY and CORNETTE FACE for literally every segment on Raw and it became unbearable).

- The continuing saga of Justin Roberts being unable to pronounce "Norfolk" (once in a manner that accidentally incorporated an F-bomb into the name) escalates with Kip Sabian correcting him as part of a segment...and deliberately getting it wrong as a prank.Justin: From Gorleston, NorFACK, England...

Mike: In a "I don't know if that is the greatest thing I've ever seen", or "the absolute worst, and I am dumber for watching it."- This introduced the French Tables (tables that fall back upon the wrestlers who go through them).

- After subscribing to the WWE Network, one of the first things Maffew did was "road test" it. In that he cued up the infamous Harlem Heat promo wherein Booker T says "Hulk Hogan, we comin' for YOU, nigga!" In the past it was clumsily dubbed over, if not bleeped out altogether; here he wanted to see if it was left unedited. And indeed, the clip is unedited. This causes Maffew and his buddies to cheer.
- While a guest on an Internet Darlings Live panel, Steve and Larson from the podcast Steve and Larson's Going In Raw were of the opinion that Bret Hart was the most overrated champion of all time. Like with Dolph Ziggler name-checking Botchamania on Raw, Maffew reacted like he was having a coronary. (The rest of the panel was not much better.) And when they said that Lex Luger should've won the championship over him, that's when the wheels came flying off the panel.
- Another Maffew-having-a-coronary moment came when WWE Network announced plans for "Botch Club", which was pretty much Botchamania but with WWE branding all over it (and all the legal red tape that implied). But when one fan asked Karl Anderson on Twitter if there were plans for more episodes of it, Karl's response was a blunt "I don't think so". Maffew's response was a .gif of Mick Foley running around ringside cheering, hollering, and celebrating.
- A wrestler by the name of Alex Ohlson was filmed wrestling. What does this have to do with Botchamania? Only the fact that the man has such a striking resemblance to Maffew that many people on the internet actually thought Maffew made his debut as a professional wrestler. Sure, Maffew cleared up the confusion later, but it didn't stop the rest of the IWC from reacting to it. Including slews of people waiting for him to botch just so they could point and laugh at him instead.
