All-time favorite botches?

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

Whether it be a slip-up on the mic or pitiful selling or something else entirely, what are some of your faves?

The Jinder and Titus botches at GRR were pretty epic. The Jinder one actually makes me laugh harder than the Titus one.

The Kidman SSP where he lands on the top turnbuckle. That dude should have never tried that move, even when he hit it it looked like ass.

Probably the Jackie Gayda match. Jim Ross commentary couldn't even save this match. But I did feel bad for her. Whatever training she did get before the match, it surely wasn't enough. I'm betting the trainees in Tough Enough probably didn't get much training until they were hired anyway. Most of the show was probably just filming segments for the actual show rather than more than basic training. I do smile in believing that prior to this match Jackie was seen as a bigger star than Bradshaw at the time.

Titus' promo on Darren Young and Bob Backlund from Raw 8/22/16. The whole segment is hilarious really, one of my all time favorite bad segments.

One that I'll always remember is a ten second clip from a random Botchamania from years ago.

It's a promo, looked like it was from the 70s, and one wrestler is talking and goes to light what looks like flash paper. But it goes up to close to him and he freaks out and runs away waving his arms like crazy. The wrestler that was with him, and the interviewer just stand and stare.

I always would love when someone would botch a springboard and fall down in front of Liger, and he'd just turn to the audience and clap.

A great saved botch was when Khali fought Rusev, and tried to kick him from the corner. Khali being Khali, he missed by a good foot or so, but Rusev stepped forward, caught the boot in his hands, and deflected it without missing a step, turning a huge whiff into a counter seamlessly.

I know, it's cheap, but it just makes me laugh. The almost slow-motion 'well, here I go' inevitability of it. Also, Steiner:

That's the hardest part of the ring.

My favourite is probably the Luger Superbrawl Saturday promo.

And that would be mine. Truly glorious.

I can’t remember exactly where or when it took place but it was definitely on a WCW PPV where Juventud Guerrera had a singles match. He was walking out to the ring doing that turning around thing that he always did for his entrances back then. As the camera is pulling away you see him tumble over the ring steps behind him because he wasn’t watching where he was going. I used to rewind the tape over and over because he wiped out so hard. I’ve seen a gif of it somewhere too. I like Juvi but it was pretty funny.
