Welcome to the most self-explanatory series of clicks here at WrestleTalk, the Top 5 Botches of the week hand-picked by the one-trick pony himself, Maffew.
1. Started At The Bottom And We’re Still Here
Impact Wrestling presented Redemption last Sunday and there was a lot of pressure on the roster to figuratively (and literally) redeem the once-proud name of the company. They did a good job despite one of the ring crew fixing a magnet to one of the turnbuckles.
Sadly the same work experience kids were also left in charge of audio/visual (they get paid two sandwiches that way) so ageless NOAH star Ishimori flew all the way from Japan to Orlando to get called the wrong name on PPV. Maybe Russo was right. Maybe luchadores should stay in Japan.
2. RSVPs with ”maybe”
You know when you’re watching a TV show with a deep plot and you’re not understanding it all but then one episode explains everything and the previous events all make sense and you go ”oohhhhh I get it now”? Yeah.
Well I’m waiting for that episode of the Rusev WWE show to air so the last few months of crowd censoring and terrible booking make sense. As of the publishing of this article Rusev vs. Undertaker is happening but The Bulgarian Brute is one in-character TMZ interview away from being replaced by Jericho again, or whichever other member of Speed 2 that’s free.
3. I’m Not One To Talk About Cringe But
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
And you say he’s just a friend, oh Bayley
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend, oh Bayley
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend
4. It’s Still Up (by which I mean ”online”)
Watching a two-hour Kick-Off show for a Friday WWE Network Special that starts mid-day which will last about six hours in total sounds like my definition of punishment – and no it doesn’t mean the male genders’ sexual organ, that’s ”penile.” You can still laugh though.
5. (Wrestler) Zero (Ring Post) One
From what I can tell, the Zero-1 wrestler with the Brian May haircut tries to stop the count-out but the sun’s rays have shined off the giant pole and he’s…shined off the pole. Or maybe his hair tried to make it’s long-awaited escape, either way his opponent seems impressed.
Honourable Mentions…
Here’s Teddy Hart trying to smash a Japanese table more times than there are people watching.
And in the interest of fairness, here’s me trying to smash a can over my head ”like Sandman.” I bled a lot, looked stupid and showed absolutely no athletic prowess so I was successful.
