Cultaholic Wrestling

Hosted by Cultaholic Wrestling

A daily news and discussion show from a team of British wrestling journalists known for its blend of candid reporting, community in-jokes, and humor.

The brief

Cultaholic is a multi-format digital media brand focused on professional wrestling. Its YouTube channel delivers daily, host-driven news updates that break down rumors and current events in WWE and AEW. The flagship weekly podcast is a long-form, multi-hour roundtable where the hosts comedically review the week's television shows and pay-per-views, often with a sarcastic and deeply referential tone.

Cultaholic's primary distinction is its daily video cadence and the specific chemistry of its hosts, most of whom were established personalities from WhatCulture Wrestling. Their heavy integration with a Patreon community, which funds interactive segments like personalized 'Patron Songs', creates a strong club-like atmosphere that separates them from other news outlets.
