Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Owen Hart's piledriver on Austin. At least it looked like he hit the move and it wasn't all fucked up. I am not saying that having Austin break his neck is a good thing, I just think the piledriver looked badass!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Well, I couldn't find it, so I made this one. How about Scott Steiner at the Royal Rumble. That Tiger bomb he tried... he just blew that. And he botched a Diamond Cutter by falling backwards! Fall foward dummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papacita 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Gayda/Trish. Kane falling of the ropes at SummerSlam last year. RVD missing that spinkick in the ladder match at SummerSlam 01. I remember one women's match from last year when Trish and someone else botched a ref bump. She tried to run into him and the ref, not even wanted to sell it, just jumps out of the way. That was pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 About the RKwhOops, I think Jericho hurt it as well by not letting go of Batista's legs so he could sell it... but this ain't no Randy Orton sucks topic so.. back to the botching! How about the Undertaker's motorcycle botching when Hogan tried to ride it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Does anyone have that video of Triple H pedigreeing that jobber on his head? It was during his early career and I know someone has that as their avatar. That was a brutal botch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUTT 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I don't have the video of it, but the jobber was actually on the Montel Williams show one time. His name was Marty Garner and they just seemed to incidentally show the footage of him getting pedigreed by HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 This happened on RAW in, I think 2000, The Hardy Boyz were facing Head Cheese. During the match Steve Blackman and Jeff Hardy were trading blows when all of a sudden Matt Hardy gets on the top rope and jumps to nail Blackman. The only problem was Blackman wasn't in place and Matt completely misses the move and looks like a fool. Blackman looks back and how this "Aw shit I screwed up" look on his face. So he quickly goes to pick up Matt and Matt rolls him up for the pin. It just happened so fast that it was to funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was also Survivor Series 2002. I'll say it again, Kane's botch at least didn't look that terrible as he didn't fall and land on his head. But repeating the spot was eh...should've had RVD jump on the apron and kick him in the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 HBK's blown plancha on RAW 2 years ago before SummerSlam. I think it was the RAW where he superkicked Brock. He goes for the plancha and catches his foot on the top rope, and was lucky enough that there were like 3 other people besides Hunter on the floor when he did it, otherwise, he'd have landed straight on his head. Taker's first chokeslam on Hogan during their awful match at JD 2002. Talk about embarrassing. The blown ref spot from Orton/RVD a few weeks ago. Both guys botched it so bad that the ref didn't even sell it and they had to do it over in the middle of the ring. There wa s another one either in 2002 or early on last year where Charles Robinson was supposed to get bumped, but the women messed up so bad that he just stood there and stared at them.

Guest Loss Report post Posted February 18, 2004 At Summerslam '01, Jericho took a gore from a flying bodypress to the floor and landed on his head and got a concussion, which serves him right for trying such a dangerous spot.

Guest The Satanic Angel Report post Posted February 18, 2004 At Armageddon, RVD vs Orton with Mick Foley as guest referee.. RVD went for the ropes to break up a move, and he couldn't grab hold of the ropes. Foley broke up the hold anyway, despite RVD never grasping the bottom rope. Doubt it counts as classic, but it's certainly memorable, as I was there. Also, no idea which PPV it was, and not much to laugh about.. Regal vs Tajiri. Regal threw Tajiri out of the ring, between the top and middle ropes, and Tajiri got his neck all crossed up in the ropes. Regal went outside the ring to alleviate the pressure, and you could tell it took a lot out of Tajiri after he got loose. He finished the match.. kudos.
