Guest Mosaicv2 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 I'm surprised this thread went three replies before a mention of the now-classic RKO BOTCH~! this is the reason everybody on this forum HATES Orton!! We hated him before the RKOops. Its not the way I recalled it... im sorry... but after his IC title defense against RVD earlier this year... some people on this board seem to really mark out for him... but right after the IMFAMOUS blowspot... then came the "hmmm... maybe he does suck" feel... just my opinion... & im stickin to it
Kardo Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Ummm..... Most people hate Orton because he's a heatless wonder no matter what the WWE tries. Not one blown spot...
Fökai Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Also, during the InVasion, Scotty 2 Hotty had made his return the previous week, and was in tag action with William Regal and possibly Tajiri against 3 Alliance stars. Regal has his opponent by the arm, and gestures to tag Scotty, who does his bouncing on the ropes bit to indicate his excitement at this idea. Sadly, Scotty was too excited and slipped from the rope to the floor. The whole crowd started laughing, even Regal started to smile. Scotty got back up, looked embarrassed, then tagged in. September 13th, 2001 edition of Smackdown. I have that botch on tape.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 hey im not tryin to put Orton over... I seriously know he HAS no HEAT... but why on gods green does he still have MARKS? when will these people realize he doesnt have wat it takes... for now
Guest Bottled Black Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 About Billy Gunn running to the ring and nearly sliding all the way across it...check out him making the save with Road Dogg for X-Pac during the HHH beating at Wrestlemania 15. He nearly does it there. That may have been the instance I was thinking of, thought it was Smackdown but I'm probably wrong. I haven't seen it since it happened.
Nighthawk Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Its not the way I recalled it... im sorry... but after his IC title defense against RVD earlier this year... some people on this board seem to really mark out for him... but right after the IMFAMOUS blowspot... then came the "hmmm... maybe he does suck" feel... just my opinion... & im stickin to it Gotta say you're wrong. I know for sure everybody hated him before that. I say this because I like him, and should thus be an impartial observer.
Guest Real F'n Show Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 some that weren't mentioned yet: Vader being too late to break up the pin in the Mankind/HBK match at Mind Games... D'Lo Paralyzing Droz with a botched running powerbomb... And something happened at Royal Rumble '99 during the X-Pac/Gangrel match involving Teddy Long screwing up, but I can't really remember...
Guest ToddRoyal Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Long counted 3 on a Gangrel nearfall, even though that wasn't supposed to be the finish. Everyone stood up and just kinda did nothing for a second before continuing the match to an X-Pac win.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Posted February 22, 2004 I somehow knew this would end up being Randy Orton topic #3463121. Anyways, back to the botching... Erik Watts dropkick. Enough said. Does anyone have a clip of that so I can remember how horrid that dropkick was?
ChrisMWaters Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Here's a question... In WWF/E...who has had the worst "You Fucked Up" Chant for a botch (not that they could compare to ones like the ECW JT Smith one, but still) Oh, another botch...this time from a referee: WrestleMania XIX, when McMahon tried tossing the referee out of the ring during his match with Hogan.
DCMaximo Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Also, during the InVasion, Scotty 2 Hotty had made his return the previous week, and was in tag action with William Regal and possibly Tajiri against 3 Alliance stars.

September 13th, 2001 edition of Smackdown. I have that botch on tape. Dude, just out of interest, was that actually a botch. I thought it was, but I was watching it in the pub and Muggy thinks it was deliberate. Can you clear this up for us?
Scroby Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 One that comes to mind was when HHH knocked out Shane cold with his high knee. Earl started counting and "slipped" when coming down for three. Now that was some funny shit.

Anyone can see it differently, and that's the way I saw it. In WWF/E...who has had the worst "You Fucked Up" Chant for a botch (not that they could compare to ones like the ECW JT Smith one, but still) I remember Chris Jericho had a pretty loud one at Summerslam 2001 when he slipped off the top rope. Also the RKwhOops got a big one too.
Guest Pigsy Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Anyone else remember Hunter's messed up pedigree on Goldberg? That was pretty funny.
notJames Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 A memorable one was that RAW tag bout between the NAO and the Acolytes, where Gunn gets whipped into the corner so hard by Farooq that the top turnbuckle gets dislodged. The ring was so fucked up that they couldn't really throw each other against the ropes. The best ad lib, of course, was Farooq taking the turnbuckle and pummeling Gunn with it.
Guest TheAnvil Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 For you LOL MARKS LOL. DON'T LEECH! What about Eddie Guerrero falling out of the ring at WMX7. That's far worse than Steiner's slip off the apron. At least Steiner was trying to jump from the apron. I had to bring that up, because everyone around here acts like it never happened.
Downhome Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 It's not WWE, so whatever. How about the back to back table botches in AJ/Abyss on this past weeks TNA show? I have a .GIF of them both in the TNA thread for that show.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 I still say that "botched" Pedigree looks more like a botched Tiger Driver '91.
notJames Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Goddamn, that Styles Clash looked hellacious. Who's the guy taking it, and how do I forward the floral arrangement to his next of kin?
ChrisMWaters Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Goddamn, that Styles Clash looked hellacious. Who's the guy taking it, and how do I forward the floral arrangement to his next of kin? Guy's name is Frankie Kazarian. Don't worry, he still wrestled after that match.
DerangedHermit Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Ouch. That one makes me cringe.
Jack_Bauer Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Who is taking that Pedigree ? The Eddie Guerrero falling out of the ring and Test being trapped in the ropes in quick succesion was some vintage stuff.
Fökai Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Regal has his opponent by the arm, and gestures to tag Scotty, who does his bouncing on the ropes bit to indicate his excitement at this idea.

I thought it was, but I was watching it in the pub and Muggy thinks it was deliberate. Can you clear this up for us? It was accidental - Scotty slipped on the bottom rope when he was coming down. The announcers covered it as being a deliberate "crowd-pleaser" by S2H.
Jack_Bauer Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Accidental or not, it seemed to serve a purpose in there.
AlwaysPissedOff Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 What about Eddie Guerrero falling out of the ring at WMX7. That's far worse than Steiner's slip off the apron. At least Steiner was trying to jump from the apron. I had to bring that up, because everyone around here acts like it never happened. You're a couple pages too late. The Eddy WM 17 botch was mentioned a while ago. Also, Eddy was jumping from the apron too when he slipped and fell. I forgot who he was up against, but last year, someone took the Booker T Axe Kick bump by flipping over onto their back... Talk about stupid.
Insane Bump Machine Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 At WM XIX, the Undertaker does the Last Ride to A-Train but has problems lifting him up and yells "HELP ME!", which you can clearly see and hear on the broadcast. A-Train shifts his weight and they barely avoid botching the move.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 If anyone watched Lita last night... she botched a head scissors pretty damn badly. Really bad... very bad.... Lita sucks... yep. I have not seen Steiner falling off the apron, so I gonna check out my friends tape to see how that went today.
Guest ToddRoyal Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Who is taking that Pedigree ? Marty Garner. He wrestled most recently as Cham Pain in North Carolina Indies and in bad Tough Enough videos. And I wouldn't be so sure Scotty's rope slip was a botch. I seem to remember him doing that exact spot in every house show reports during that time. So he was either REALLY clumsy, or was doing the spot on purpose.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 How about the match where HHH tries to pedigree Kurt on the table and the table collapses before he can do it. I think Kurt got knocked out legit. I just saw it again on the HHH dvd.
