WrestleTalk Pricing Update (Patreon)

Howdy SWAFT Nation,

YouTube sensation Oli Davis here, and I want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you. Without your support on Patreon, we genuinely couldn’t do what we do.

Because YouTube ain’t what it used to be (which is saying something).

Not only is its advertising increasingly unreliable, there’s now no guarantee the all-powerful algorithm will show our subscribers the videos we make.

At the same time, our costs have massively increased due to inflation and all the essential behind-the-scenes bits you never see. It means we’re making less money per video than we were several years ago. Some of our series have even started to lose us money. Every time we put out an episode of those shows, we’re worse off.

Which is where all you wonderful Patreons come in!!!

We launched WrestleTalk’s Patreon in September 2016, over 7 years ago. And in all that time, we’ve managed to avoid raising its prices. But I’m afraid we can’t hold that off any longer. So from the 1st August, 2024:

The $5 tier will go to $6.50 (Monday Night War early access & exclusive podcast, After Dark, uncut Survival Series)

The $10 tier will go to $11.50 (WrestleTalk Extra, 2 exclusive episodes of either Survival Series, 3 Count, Tables, Lists & Chairs, Worst Match Ever or more)

The $25 tier will go to $30 (WrestleTalk Podcast shout-outs)

The $50 tier will go to $60 (News Shout Outs)

The $100 tier will go to $120 (Video Call)

You’ll notice our longest running Patreon series WrestleTalk Extra has moved up to the $11.50 tier. This is because we’re putting in more time and effort into it than ever (which we’re loving - Luke and I are so excited to reveal the next arc to you all!). It means, though, that we need to raise it to a higher tier to make it viable. We hope you understand.

I know it’s never nice to hear the price of stuff is going up, but I really hope you can see how long we’ve resisted doing this for, and how much we truly love each and every one of you for helping us get here.

Thank you so much for your support. We couldn’t do this without you!

Jam that Jam,

Oli, and everyone at WrestleTalk x

Josh Grover

More than glad to help! You guys are the best! 🤘

Tukker-Ray Collo

Wrestltalk extra was the reason I signed up in the first place

Bailey Reichert

Totally understand! Keep up all the great work you guys do!

Windows XP

Understandable, but Math>Pipebomb

Ewan Macdonald

Oof WT extra going up to the higher tier does hurt to see. Fully understandable though, even if not ideal

DeadSpatulaInc

I at least understand. Wrestletalk has put out lots of value, and everyone’s costs have increased. Look forward to your continued success!

Ben Johnson

Really frustrated with the move of the wrestle talk extra being moved to the 11.50 tier. I understand the motives behind it, but is it possible to keep the wrestle talk extra archives at the lower level? I regularly listen to the back catalogues but can’t afford the higher price

Jamie Fisher

Sucks but I get it. Would rather pay more than not have the content because it’s costing you too much. Viva Wrestetalk

Mr. Samuel Scratch

Behold! I have joined the main roster! You de-serve it!

Adam Deutsch

I think it’s admirable you’ve waited so long. I do wish there were more pods available on Spotify as used to be (SmackDown, BCC, chats before/after the pods, etc.). I miss my near daily shows with you all. However, I get things change. Maybe it can become profitable and make its way back again. Who knows?! But I’ll be upgrading to Tier 2 for sure.

Quid Pro Crow

The whole reason I signed up for Patreon was because I love the content you all put out. It's going to take a LOT more than a small price bump to lose that support. Keep up the amazing work. Jam That Jam

Callum

It sucks but it’s understandable wrestletalk extra is the reason why I pay for this service support wrestletalk

Connor99

Ahh I totally get it, but WT Extra was really my only reason for signing up and having listened to most of them now I don’t really see it beneficial to pay a higher price for one show a month. May be inclined to jump in tri-monthly😉 so that way I feel like I am getting my moneys worth.

Chris Swanson

One of the few Patreon and YouTube channels I follow on a daily basis. Worth every penny to me to see the videos I love still be made!

The Dekker Dane

Totally understandable stuff. 🙂 Happy to keep supporting my favourite wrestling content creators.

SirTof

No problem

acdp94

Understandable, but like others have mentioned, I only sub for WT extra, so unfortunately I’ll be unsubscribing from next month. Thank you for all your time and effort and laughs. I may see you again one day.

George

Set up a go fund me and once the target is reached oli gets put through a table, that should help raise some funds as well!

NUFC1621711

More than understandable. And all all the hard work and all the content the team produce makes it more than worth the money. Keep up the great work guys and gals

TheTangoUnchained

My favourite Patreon to support and I think it's impressive how long you went without increasing the price. Keep up the good work Oli, Luke and the rest of the team, will still be a main roster member and love every moment. #pipebomb>math

G-Rat

Hey gang. I signed up for WT Extra several years ago now. I "caught up" some time last year and then kept paying even though I was then using it less. I am an episode behind at the moment. I think when I "catch up" this time around I will probably stop my subscription at that point. Maybe I'll start it up again for a couple of months in a years time when I've a new backlog. But going from $5 to $11.50 for mostly 1 podcast a month is too much for me.

Aron

I don't mind paying more, I was thinking about uping my tier anyway cause I felt bad the other week when Luke said about looking for a 2nd job on the side. Guess this just made the decision for me 🤣

CJ Taylor

Yeah fair one lads, no dramas

TheTangoUnchained

My favourite Patreon to support and I think it's impressive how long you went without increasing the price. Keep up the good work Oli, Luke and the rest of the team, will still be a main roster member and love every moment. #pipebomb>math

David Daul

Absolutely understandable! Awesome getting a glimpse at the bigger extended team...keep up the great work!

Shale Godfrey

I'll support regardless of price just for the content

Terance Collins

I want to, so fkn bad, but I'm broke. I was unsubscribing next month before this, but give me a few months to get my life in order, and I'll be back. Love you all so much, literally the only channel that keeps my demons at bay. 💙🙏🏾

Gareth Jones

Totally fair its not a major increase luckily with the cozzy livs and all that! May i suggest with moving WT extra to a higher tier, something like ad free normal WT podcasts is added, not sure how much work that takes or if it hits ad revenue too much, but its a thought based on other patreons I’ve supported😊

Dylan Campbell

Well looks like I’m getting a call up to the main roster lads! The content you guys make is worth every penny

Nacht Bogen

You guys make my overnight job so much more bearable. The least i can do is chip in a little more

ItzSmashley

So do we have to do anything to up the pledge or will the price I pay just increase?

JoNeZ 89

As a fat man that loves pizza, looks like I’m going to have to have one less a month, just so I can keep hearing Oli guess Calvin Harris as the number 1 on WrestleTalk Extra. Keep up the great content. Jam that Jam. Pipe bomb > Math.

SolidMouse

Always been value for money and will continue to be at those increases. It was also great to see the folks from the Office.

mike wolfe

No worries, guys! Your outstanding content is well worth it.

Andrew Hanks

Tbh, with the price of everything going up as much as it has in the past couple of years, I’d have expected it to have gone up higher. Love all of you guys there and more than happy to pay a little extra. 💚

“Burly” Rob Burwell

Love you guys and definitely understand the changes and happy to pay the extra money. Do you know how the annual payments will change? Just want to make sure I budget properly

Frank Booker

It’s a shame but it was inevitable and it’s still amazing value for money. You guys make great content that gets people through the tough times. That’s worth every penny I put in. Love you stuff, as ever and will always Support WrestleTalk. Jam that Jam

Nick Devine

I was thinking about upping my membership anyway. Totally fair. I do CBAs in my own job and the increase in the cost of everything between 2016 and now is utterly insane.

Horacio Garcia

Oh man....😕 Wrestletalk Extra has always been my favorite thing about the patreon so it sucks that starting August if I want to keep hearing it, it'll be at the $11.50 tier Gonna have to think about whether I make the jump since I'm a $5 guy. Maybe I'll try it for August to see if it's worth it for me (NOTHING against the WT crew at all! Life has been a little rough this year. Lol)

Jason Downey

Love you guys. All the way from Canada. WrestleTalk has been there for me since the gravely voice days we don't talk about. I am happy to increase and support

jonathan Melhuish

In think ’ that is an more than fair increase based on the content you guys provide and the boost in my mental health your content gives when I have my down days

Ben Bresulla

I tend to be willing to pay for things that I like and the wrestletalk crew supply me with enough enjoyment,stupidity, and giggles that I'm more than willing to absorb a price increase.

Brad

Not a major increase, so I think it's more than fair. Also, loved getting to see all the behind the scenes people!

Micah Newby

If a couple of things I don't have much control of line up I may be able to jump back up to the $25 tier I was at when things were more flush, but you definitely have whatever you need from me to get the video content, which is honestly what I'm here for. Whether uncut or exclusive, that's what jams my jam

Micah Newby

Also I second someone else's question; will No Rolls Barred be similarly increasing as well?

Andy Mac

Needs to be done guys. Hopefully most will be willing to pay the extra little bit to support the ‘consistent’ content 🙌 I’ll upgrade my tier to keep Wrestletalk extra. Are the Smackdown podcasts unviable? I’ve been disappointed these seem to have been dropped recently, especially with Paul Heyman getting put through tables and stuff - feels like big stuff you guys would usually cover, and I’d like to hear thoughts on. But appreciate its maybe not financially worthwhile. Maybe I missed the announcement. Regardless, much love.

Adam

The way you go about giving this kind of news is one of the big reasons I find it so easy to support you. Keep up the good work, love seeing your journey wherever it goes.

Dylan Caswell

Just joined the $10 teir a few weeks ago and I’m in love with this. If a pay increase is what it takes to continue supporting these phenomenal people then that’s the sacrifice I must make! Thank y’all so much for what y’all do, jam that jam.

William Withers

I love the new format of WT Extra so much, I was more than happy to bump up to the $11.50 tier to hear what’s coming up next.

Bdazzle

wtf! why! why move extra to the 10 dollar tier! i'm legitimately annoyed about this, but like i understand and probably will increase to 10 dollars cause of how much i love the extra podcasts

Up_The_Bovril

Understandable, but I’ll be bowing out once the price increases come into play. All the best lads.

Felixious Zheng

chill out guys its an extra $1.50 for the tiers that unlock all the content. you are being children

Evan Reich

Davis and the crew are top tier. My extra 1.50 is yours

Merritt Whitelow

It’s all love definitely understand 💪🏾💯

Jeff Jarvis

Bumped my membership up a tier and did an annual sub. You guys are worth every penny.

Gawain

I have a few patreons but this (followed by NRB) is probably the one I use the most. I will certainly be staying on at the $11.50 level for the excellent content and value it provides.

Ilan Woll

Sounds good. Do we need to change it manually?

Gavin Brodie

Sounds all good from me 😃

Mick Kerrigan

oh man that was sooooo wholesome! :)

TEi HasPants

I'll be upgrading to keep my WrestleTalk Extra access when the time comes. I've really loved the Breakup of the Shield series and the extra production really makes it pop.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Good thing I check the channel nearly every day and see the videos when they’re uploaded regardless of whether I get notifications. or not. And the price of the tiers has already been higher for me because I’m in Australia. Ah so Dave Bradshaw does still work at WrestleTalk lol.

Wyatt Yappel

Aww man i just went down a tier to save money but without wrestletalk extra i guess im going back to the main roster tier again 😂

Steven Mullenix

Will the monthly call slots be posted for month of July?

Charles Downend

Only thing I'm disappointed in, is that this wasn't signed off with "HH x"

CJ Sharp

Been listening to the podcasts for about 6 months and they’re brilliant. Only too happy to support while I can

Nicolò Zanchetta

I've just subscribed this month. I love everything you guys make and I'm willing to support you as much as I can. More importantly you all look like genuine guys who wanna make a job out of their passion and I want you to be able to do so.

FKA Shrockmaster

Keep up the good work! Wrestletalk f f for life!
