Cultaholic is a YouTube channel and independent website founded by British wrestling fans Adam Pacitti, Jack King, Ross Tweddell and Sam Driver. The group started after all four men, and their colleague Adam Blampiednote Before the channel's launch, Blampied's contract was terminated after he had confessed on Twitter that he had used his status as an internet celebrity to request nudes from female fans; this was following stories and allegations accusing him of sexually harassing women, which he had confirmed. Blampied would later put himself on a self-imposed exile from the internet for more than 2 years, only returning in early 2020 to work for fellow British wrestling channel WrestleTalk., resigned from their jobs at WhatCulture Wrestling. During their more than two years with that company, each of the members became well-known as the channel's official faces, thanks to their videos and content about news from the world of wrestling (particularly WWE) and eventually had a hand in forming the channel's own independent wrestling promotion, WhatCulture Pro Wrestling (later renamed Defiant Wrestling). Beyond starting with similar content to that channel, Cultaholic has expanded to include some of the shows listed below.The channel also features video essays and histories of subjects such as Worst Shows Ever, Wrestling Lost Media, Wrestling True Crime and other matters. The channel also includes various wrestling tier lists and rankings. You can find the YouTube channel here, and the website here.Beyond the original four, other presenters added over the years include Tom Campbell, Andrew Hodkinson, Owen Mawson, and Fraser Porter. Other writers also work for the company and its website. The company Cultaholic Ventures Ltd. also has a sister channel, Triple Jump, which focuses on video game-related content instead and is run by fellow WhatCulture alum, Ben Potter and Peter Austin. Both have collaborated on various videos where there is an overlap in their interests.

comment
Aborted Arc: Their A to Z of WWE series initially appeared to be building to Tom (who many commenters noted was basically cosplaying Bray Wyatt in his Firefly Funhouse role) playing a Fiend-esque character, but it seemingly went nowhere.

The very first list done on the channel was about defections of wrestlers to other companies, which Adam Pacitti is quick question why they're doing that particular list.

Orphaned Series

comment
Orphaned Series: Video game pundit Jim Sterling, who had recently actually begun training and working as a wrestler for Pro Wrestling EGO, did two episodes of a new show in collaboration with the site, "WreSterling," but abandoned it shortly thereafter due to Creative Differences, including his decision to stop watching any and all WWE programming due to their going ahead with Saudi Arabia shows following the murder and dismemberment of a journalist at the order of the regime's crown prince.

Ascended Meme: Their habit of singing "Don't You Forget About Keith" (a parody of "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds about NXT wrestler Keith Lee, which they even made a full music video for) ascended when Beth Phoenix quoted it on commentary on the 11 December 2019 episode of NXT, causing the Full Sail crowd to take up the chant themselves.

Big Eater: Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton manage to eat 16 and 14 hot dogs respectively during their hot dog eating contest in I Got An AI To Write An Episode Of WWE Raw. It's even more impressive for Rey, whose small stature doesn't hinder him in the slightest.

comment
Bait-and-Switch: One of their Running Gags when Tom Campbell is doing a news story with Sam Driver is to introduce him as "the man named after a wrestling move" and clarify that of course he meant "Sam [a wrestling move that is NOT a driver]". Possibly the silliest was the time he labeled him "Sam Forward-Russian-Leg-Sweep".
