In this video we take a look at the 5 worst WWE botches.
Due to copyright reasons, we cannot show you the actual clips, however, we will present
a GIF image of the event that occurred.
Number 5.
Ryback Botches Shell Shock.
Many questions have arisen as a result of this botch.
Did Tensai mistime going up for the Shell Shock?
Did Ryback botch his own finisher?
Or could Tensai have even tried to sandbag Ryback?
One thing that is certain, is that the big guy was humiliated.
After, not one attempt but two, Ryback bailed on the finisher.
Instead, he finished Tensai off using a meat hook clothesline, calling him “stupid”
on several accounts.
It is important to mention, that Ryback has botched this finisher before on Paul Heyman
and even, CM Punk.
So therefore it appears that Ryback did not execute the move properly, as Ryback’s head
is up against Tensai’s chest area, and so the weight is unevenly distributed.
Ryback has performed this finisher on two jobbers at the same time, totalling over 300
pounds, so it can’t have been a weight problem.

Number 4.
Randy Orton Botches RKO on Big Show.
Was it Randy’s fault or was it the Big Show’s mistake for not falling the way he was supposed
to?
It is unusual to see a smooth, fluid and gifted in-ring performer like Randy Orton to botch
a move.
On February 2012 on Monday night RAW, Orton fails to deliver an RKO on the Big Show, who
nonetheless collapses onto the mat as if he was RKO’d.

Number 3.
CM Punk Botches GTS on Kane.
For those of you who have not seen this, this is what happens when you try to perform a
move on a guy much taller than you.
The GTS, or Go to Sleep, involves Punk lifting his opponent onto his shoulders and hoisting
them over his head to deliver a knee to the head.
In this case, it was a knee to the gut.
CM Punk actually attempted this move twice and got the same result both times, causing
fans to react accordingly.
The first take was edited off the broadcast.
Maybe Punk should have considered employing a different finishing move for considerably
taller wrestlers.

Number 2.
Brock Lesnar Botches Shooting Star Press.
This is one of the most famous botches in WWE history, which happened at WrestleMania
XIX in 2003.
During his match against Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar climbed the turnbuckle, to the top
rope, and attempted a shooting star press, which is a difficult move to perform for his
size requiring precision and agility.
He has successfully performed the move numerous times in the past but unfortunately on this
occasion, he completely botched it, landing on his head and missing Kurt Angle.
He had suffered a concussion, but somehow managed to finish the match with an F5 to
Kurt Angle to win.

Number 1.
Owen Hart Breaks Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Neck.
Ah, who remembers this botch?
At Summerslam in 1997 Stone Cold Steve Austin went head to head with Owen Hart for the Intercontinental
Championship.
Austin was supposed to win the title, which indeed happened, but nowhere near the way
it was scripted.
Owen Hart was meant to hit Stone Cold with a tombstone piledriver but placed the Rattlesnake’s
head too far below his leg and consequently dropped him right on top of his head, breaking
his neck.
This left Austin temporarily paralysed and gave him a bruised spinal cord leading to
further neck problems.
In conjunction with knee problems this hampered his career and led to a premature retirement
in 2003.
Fortunately for Austin, he is doing fine nowadays but the incident will never be forgotten.
