Content

PETE: Hello Pledgehammers!

We're always looking for ways to try and improve this Patreon page and make your experience here the best it can be - through maintaining and improving the quality of our shows, to having a regular upload schedule, to being as transparent as we can with you all about these shows and when and why things go wrong (if they do).

To piggyback off that final point of transparency, we'd like some transparency from you! Below you will find a poll - and we'd like you all to choose the primary reason you became a Pledgehammer. What's the bit of content that you look forward to the most? I'm sure for a lot of you there might be multiple reasons - but we're just looking for the main one!

There's also an option to vote for 'other' and leave a comment letting us know in more detail why you're a Pledgehammer - which would be very appreciated too!

We also know that WrestleLeague may have been a factor for joining, but with WrestleLeague currently not running (more news on that soon hopefully!), we've not included it in this poll.

Nick Hancock

A: you guys deserve my money, for the hours of enjoyment you give B: Wrestle League

Kyle Olson

Specifically the Wrestleramble Extra podcasts.

Knut Behrend

Other: To give back for what you give to me.

MySpiritAnimalisADorito

out of these options, the ONLY reason I'm a patron is Other - Predictions League. Looking forward to that coming back. Makes the PPVs more fun to watch.

Laura E.

I just think you guys are a great bunch of good eggs. I have fallen out of love with wresting a long time now but I enjoy supporting Wrestletalk no matter what! Good things should happen to good people! 💫

Kevin Simpson

Cause u all deserve it, for the hard work u all do!

Vault-Tec Doormamu

The primary reason I joined was for wrestleleague. With it being suspended at the moment, I guess the extra classic ppv podcasts

Frank Booker

Because you guys kept me going during lockdown when I was in a really dark place. Least I can do.

George

All of it, and to support your hard work.

Selina B N

The extra content is a big bonus. The main reason for me is that you all deserve it, for all the hard work you do and helping keep my love of wrestling alive when every option of it available to me (WWE/ IMPACT!) seemed like they were trying to kill it.

Green Bastard

Wrestletalk Extra and Wrestle League

Evan Pilon

Any form of Audio content with the boys is all i need, All about the BANTS

that guy who want to support

I actually started because of rambleclub when that was still a thing. I wanted to hear Luke and Oli talking about more non WWE content, off course we're talking pre AEW days and new Japan was at an all time peak. I've stayed because I really really liked the classic PPVs podcast and I still love it. I would love if LIW had a show here but I can understand if that's can't happen

Asbjørn Fallesen

To throw you guys some money because I enjoy the content, really :) Out of the options, I enjoy WT After Dark the most.

Glenn Dallas

All of the above, plus Wrestle League.

Fate 22

It started with the CBW Podcasts. And now because I have watched your content for so long, that I wanted to support you.

Tempo1337

Left CBW Podcast off of the poll, that's what made me finally pull the trigger

DANiel 'The Mayor of Painsville' Schachtmeier

My personal reason is the team. When Oli first took over I enjoyed the news very much. Then Luke came in an the WrestleRamble started. I was happy to support some people that seemed friendly and intelligent to me and on the same wave length. I am simply happy to support a group that has grown so much in size and skill. There is a lot of joy and creativity involved and I just hope I can do my part in supporting Wrestletalk. That's what it's all about. Nevermind the content here. That's why I am a Patreon.

Ziggy Norberg

The team! I only indulge in the content here sporadically but I want to support y'all regardless.

Joseph Graham Jr

My reason for becoming a patron is solely to support you guys. Don't take it wrong, I love the extra content but You guys are genuinely my favorite wrestling YouTube channel so I wanted to show my gratitude

ThatDanishMark

The main reason I became a Patreon supporter, is because you seem like a great bunch of lads.

Adam Gallick

Mainly WT extra, but honestly I enjoy the craic you guys have on your podcasts... more podcasts please! Also... luke and Oli should have veto power on the voting, some odd choices getting wins or when getting on the list... how about for their birthday month, they get to pick the show?

Tony Brazda

Other- joined just to support a bunch of people who provide great content and a welcomed respite from the real world.

Josh Razauskas

For your personalities you’re great people! I think it would be cool for those who pay $25 annual like me to get at least one video call with you guys since we pay over $100 for the year.

Nerd

Extra and After dark- as someone who lives alone and struggles from various mental health issues. I just really enjoy the fun chatter between WT folk. Makes it seems like there’s some freinds with me down the internet

Vinny Garcia

Other - Joined just to support you guys for everything you guys do!

Kate Ayers

Just an opportunity to push a few more dollars your way.

Brian Fogarty

Main reason was to support the channel - Extra is by far my favourite bonus content

James Murtagh

I've never had a cool nickname. Thanks guys.

Jared

WT Extra but also just want to support.

CalciferXVII

Other. I also sub to NRB. You all have provided me with a ton of entertainment since the pandemic began. It’s nice to be able to pay you back in some small way.

shywolf

I answered After Dark, as it's my favorite of the above options - but wanted to add, since the podcast extras (which I'm still sad aren't a thing anymore, aww) aren't listed above, that I joined mainly after hearing about those, as I love the personal anecdotes & banter the most - and After Dark is only once per month, and not everyone who was involved in the podcast extras is a part of After Dark all the time - but I'm incredibly grateful for all of the extra content, and am super looking forward to seeing what the new Patreon show with Oli, Luke, Pete & Tempest is going to be like!! <3 :)

FrankosSpeaks

My main reason for becoming a Pledgehammer was for the WrestleTalk (then WrestleRamble) Extra podcasts, but when we Pledgehammers gained access to the Podcast Extras, that became an additional and welcome benefit that encouraged me to remain. Even now that the Extras are no more, I still intend to remain: your content is a joy to listen to/watch, and there’s still more than enough here to amuse oneself with. I’m happy to continue supporting a channel I enjoy so heartily.

Charles Homer

The reason I became a Pledgehammer is because I've been watching Wrestletalk for a few years and been a subscriber for a few years as well. I always enjoy the content and I felt like it's time to support you guys. I understood that all content requires some sort of financial support whether it's from sponsors or supporters and I felt that if I wanted to keep enjoying the content, I should support.

“HE RAN” Aaron Hanrahan

Because you guys always make me enjoy wrestling even more. Thank you for that . Support Wrestletalk

Allegra

WT Extra is what I look forward to the most. Please put up some sort of index, I remember most of the events, but searching for them on Patreon is rough. Funny story though, the original reason I pledged 3+ years ago was because I downloaded the podcast special of the first 4 or 5 episodes of "Big Apple Takedown". I know Oli and Luke eventually got sick of reading it, but the reactions and critique cracked me up.

Ieuan Griffiths

My main reason was WrestleLeague, since that's not happening it's the Mailbag show and asking questions, as that's coming to an end I'm going to wait a few months to see if replacements come but maybe I'll give it a miss in all honesty

Porl Thomas

The big, long After Dark episodes where why I joined up and the ones I enjoy the most. The random chat, the questions, the karaoke, the drinking punishment… I get why After Dark is different now (and is still highly enjoyable) but hopefully we get that sort of show back, even if it’s just a special Christmas one or something.

Porl Thomas

Also, have to say, I’m loving any episodes with Dan in recently. He brings a different kind of energy/vibe, and just seems a great guy.

Anthony Debruhl

Been with y’all since start so always support . Wish y’all stop with the clickbait on YouTube tho

Bdazzle

the extra podcasts are so great i love binging them nearly every month plus the boyz can swear during the show

Daniel McAvoy

I I became a pledgehammer because the wrestle talk team got back into wrestling. I have been a fan of wrestling since I was 12 years old. I am 50 now but I enjoy it more than ever. I love when the wrestling picks come back soon. I finished second one time a couple seasons ago. Whenever it comes back I love wrestle talk regardless. I love the mail bag with Luke and Dan too.

Adam Deutsch

WrestleLeague is the reason I joined. Really miss that portion. But I absolutely love the WT Extra. Looking forward to other content coming down the line!

Dxsolo

I joined for what was at the time personalized videos and then stayed when those became 15 min chats. That would be the main reason but generally I enjoy what you do and the various personalities. It makes me feel a small part of something to contribute

Sean Bavuso

I just wanted to donate some money to help out.

Jason Reese

I pledged because you all are some the most genuine, real, and fun people on the internet, and you deserve some money for that. The content’s great too.

Tattoo Koopman

The original drunk After Darks were some of my favourite content ever. Ollie’s poetry class story is an all time classic moment

Ryan Stewart

I really enjoy all of the content you publish, plus just the entertainment you all bring.

Chris Smith

To support you guys for all the amazing content. Also love the classic PPV reviews with Luke and Ollie.

XO Jayla

Love WT Extra and After Dark. Lovely time with the boys.

Oscar Villanueva

Just to support you guys. Really enjoy Wrestletalk and PFK content in youtube, seems fair to give something in return for the hard work you put’

Al D

Mailbag, Extra & After dark

ProdigalGeek

I just wanted to support! But I should catch up on some of those After Dark episodes now, huh?

Frogman Le Blanc

I want to hear you all talk about stuff other than wresting. I joined because I’m fans of the people on this channel and the interactions you have with each other. Joined for the wrestling content, stayed for the personalities.

Zak Robinson

No one specific reason as such, just happy to support you lovely lot! 😁

Luke Aaron

Wrestleleague for me, but the friday shows are always worth a watch

Andy Springer

I initially joined for WrestleLeague, but I enjoy the reviews of older shows too.

Chris Brimstone

I joined because you're my main source of Wrestling News and have been since Oli took over from the WT TV Show days and I figured I owed you a bit of support. The content I look forward to the most is WT After Dark, but that wasn't the reason I joined.

Merrydeath McKaos

I initaly joined because of Wrestleleague, but I upped my pledge to support the great content that you put out during the week.

Matthew Moses

WrestleLeague was the reason I joined, but WrestleTalk Extra is quickly becoming my favorite thing

Yeti

Mainly just to support the channel. Wrestle League was always a bonus. As a $5 monthly backer I don't get the After Dark podcasts, although I'm sure I would love them as my enjoyment of wrestletalk is less about the wrestling analysis and more about the personalities.

Callum Lucas

For me content wise it’s WT extra as I love you guys reviewing some of the older PPVs and getting your opinions on older shows, but it’s all great. I’m also really into the Wrestle League which I hope can make a comeback soon as I get invested in that greatly! Also, and I think most people agree that it’s the group you have. You’re all great to listen to and have brilliant chemistry. When I listen to the podcast I find myself conversing with myself for agreeing or disagreeing with your points😂 Thanks for listening to us and we all appreciate that you want to keep improving!!

Spencer Vornhagen

I picked other because the reason I am a patron is that while I do love all the extra content, I wanted to give back to the best wrestling channel on YT. Love all you boys

Miguel Martinez

I like all your content and love to support my favorite channel

James Knepper

Mainly to help support back monthly best I can for what you’ve all given me when I can’t watch the podcast live to omega chat. Wrestle league and extra are a huge bonus.

JustDonny

Nothing specific, just to support.

Will Stewart Jr

Truly I support you and your content, you’ve helped me get through dark times, the least I can do is pay it forward

Steve Suess

I originally joined for fan QuizzleMania, but unfortunately I'm usually busy during it. I continued my support regardless as a way to show my support for the channel. I have also been enjoying WrestleTalk Extra and After Dark.

Steve Bowers

Hi guys, I’m a huge fan of the Wrestletalk extra stuff, but also really enjoyed the CBW creative podcasts and the one Pete and Luke did about The Monday Night War show. Also just generally I like supporting the channel. Keep up the good work chaps and chapettes!

Sean Harris

I wanna support more CBW. Thanks for all of the excellent content!

Dan Williams

Best wrestling podcast ever and I want to support it

Cordell Huet

The reason I joined and became a Pledgehammer is give you all the support to keep doing all the great content and the amount of effort you put into everything

G-Rat

To support you guys! I see the mailbag has 0%. I suspect that might not be a fair reflection of how much it is enjoyed. I didn't join because of it as it was the free Friday podcast at the time. I really enjoy the new mailbag on here with Dan.

Micah Newby

To be perfectly honest, I joined because for the first time I could afford to support the _people_ like you who have provided me almost a decade of entertainment. I think the only paywall content I have consumed are the CBW and Monday Night War podcast extras.

Adam Hall

I joined cause of the CBW podcasts. Listen to the odd extra podcast, but a lot of the shows you talk about aren't that interesting to me. I've never listened to the mailbag and I'm not at a high enough tier for After Dark. Podcast extras are a little crap. Just because they're so short and kinda feel antiquated (not sure if that's the right word). Love all the work you guys do

Sean

Honestly can't remember why now probably was Wrestling league 🤣 + like to support worthwhile You tube channel - keep up with the good work.

ryley

I just love the content and I really like supporting good people

Manuel Toledo-Campos

In the pandemic era, you kept making great content, while also creating an extended universe, collaborating with awesome people. That willingness to give more people a platform made me wanna pledge and follow the WT mantra: Support WrestleTalk. Just love to see content made by good people. JTJ.

john

Originally it was for wrestleleague
