What's the most painful botch you've been on the receiving end of?

I don't believe in botches.

Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate? I was of the impression botches were accepted as part and parcel of wrestling.

Edit: typo in my excitement of talking to Maria

Mistakes happen in the ring. Mistakes happen in almost every match. Mistakes are not botches. Botches happen when neither wrestler have a transition in mind to make it seem like it was all according to plan, and instead get that deer in a headlights look like they don't know what to do next.

Great workers make mistakes, but never manage to botch.

It may seem like semantics, but the subtlety is important, especially (I imagine) for anyone who worked in ROH during Cornette's time).

That doesn't make sense. If you've seen Sin Cara ever, you've seen a botch.
