[@BENDROWNED33]

Meanwhile in an alternate universe, the Shockmaster never did that funny botch and became one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

[@ranwolf1240]

ahhh... the beauty of multi-versal theory...

[@julianbell9161]

And then he came to WWF where he had his fantastic feud with Mr. McMahon and he had classic WM X-7 and XV fights against the Rock and would win the Royal Rumble 3 times.

[@BENDROWNED33]

Julian Bell He also broke the Undertaker's streak and buried John Cena and Roman Reigns

[@warriorx86]

In that alternate universe he would go on to become - The best that was.. the best that is and the best that ever would be... and wud finally be screwed at montreal

[@julianbell9161]

Ankur Kulshreshtha And then the Shockmaster would go on to marry Vince's daughter and win 14 championships and bury new talent.

[@sensativeguy9654]

Sid vicious pulled the most realistic heel turn in wrestling history

[@chad264]

Ohh..oh my god😂😂

[@duaplex1]

Took me a second but I got that lol!

[@jackkane9565]

Ik I’m 4 years late, but can someone explain lmao??

[@ronniespain18]

I got it instantly and have to say one of the greatest comments I've ever read!!!

[@raiyanamin8914]

Because he injured his lower leg once, you see. It twisted horribly, so a literal 'Heel turn'

[@tekguru8]

Give us a Top 10 worst Sid Vicious promo botches..

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Nah, we need Maffew to get that one. Send for the man!!

[@Djarra]

Sid's are way way better than Roman Reigns.

[@poundlandreptile529]

+Djarra Roman has improved immensely, stop hating because everyone else does it

[@switchblade6993]

+Phenomenal One has he improved? Yes. Has he improved immensely? No. No he hasn't.

[@codster9]

Maffew actually did make Sidamania videos. But I believe they were blocked on KZbin and lost forever when his old hard drive crashed.

[@bklynking707]

The Shockmaster botch never gets old lol

[@adampalmer7387]

poor shock master

[@JonoYaGem]

+Adam Palmer 😂👌

[@mynameisjoetheprogamer7192]

11) David Arquette winning the WCW World heavyweight championship...

[@dealandrew3323]

did you even know what a botch is?

[@yabiotexas9803]

+Deal Andrew Do you know what a joke is?

[@dealandrew3323]

A.A. Ron Balakay yes: david arq..what ever winning the title. Thats a joke but not a botch.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

12. Letting Vince Russo have anything to do with booking.

[@SirGeeeO]

SHYYYAADDDDDUUUUUUUPPP!!!!

[@chrisg7381]

And by the way - yes, the Shockmaster's debut is the greatest botch in WCW's history, but NOT because of the entrance. No, no. What made it the greatest botch is because SOMEBODY actually had the idea to make him wear a stormtrooper helmet covered in glitter. THAT is just unforgivable.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Booker regretting the n word line kills me every time.

[@LolxdgamerZocker]

The invasion angle was the worst botch..

[@LolxdgamerZocker]

CENA HAS SPOKEN

[@DJC-10]

+John Cena shut up cena go bury reigns please

[@LolxdgamerZocker]

Wavy Handles why roman is a good man

[@hirakmathur714]

The Truth

[@theatagamer90]

+John Cena No. you have that so wrong. He's not a man he's a guy. Not a good guy, Not a bad guy, just a guy.

[@09readyw]

How long ago was this made? You said the name of the Chanel was WhatCulture WWE, it's been WhatCulture Wrestling for months now.

[@jacksonloram7887]

Pretty sure this video got taken down ages ago due to copyright.

[@martinmortyry7444]

It's a reupload.

[@ValSempai]

it got taken down, and they had to change the name of the channel most likely due to the fact that they aren't actually affiliated with the WWE just make a bunch of videos about them as well as other promotions

[@09readyw]

Cheers guys

[@GamingOneOnOne]

He also said 'our recent video' referring to a video made 9 months ago

[@IbunWest]

"What's the opposite of shine?" ...Adam Blampied? ;D

[@johanalfredsson9655]

No, you

[@lukasg903]

[@zk5315]

Roman Reigns mic skills

[@IamDanMaor]

Roman Reigns.

[@alexo8201]

shut up you fucking furry.

[@Goosenpai]

Kinda surprised you guys haven't done this one before. Oh well, would love to see that Shockmaster one again.

[@VOIDSenseMusic]

Jerry Lawler Suspended - WHAT JUST HAPPENED??

[@PcPFilmsDayton]

At least this one wasn't 14 ;)

[@GNVS300]

Go on then...

[@TJskillz169]

Not really a WHAT JUST HAPPENED moment to me. Guy was arrested for domestic abuse, and the WWE has a zero tolerance policy on that stuff. Guess Corey Graves will be moving up a bit sooner than some people thought.

[@GNVS300]

TJskillz169 He probz wanted to see some puppies

[@A.C._]

"The puppies, JR!"

[@jacksonloram7887]

I think we can agree that the worst botch in the history of wrestling is Roman Reigns main eventing two Wrestlemanias in a row.

[@NeroPiroman]

yes

[@CertifiedMVP]

naah him getting the birth was THEE biggest botch

[@REALFRIENDtoALL]

+AC Jester your grammar is a fucking botch.

[@stalectos]

about 5th time i have pointed this out in this comment section but the term botch means it was unintentional reigns main evented 2 wrestlemanias in a row because wwe wanted him to its not a botch just because it didn't have the effect they wanted.

[@CertifiedMVP]

Riley's Vlogs Shut up.​ You can't talk about botches, and not include your face in that profile picture

[@mace106]

how about when wcw announced that Mankind would win the world title and everyone changed channel

[@stalectos]

pretty sure it only technically counts as a botch if in the course of what was planned something goes wrong not if the plan being done correctly ends in disaster. basically if you wanted to jump off the roof of your house onto a trampoline and you missed the trampoline and broke your leg that is a botch. if you do the same but break your leg landing on the trampoline it's not a botch its being an idiot.

[@mace106]

am pretty sure wcw did not wont people changing channel

[@stalectos]

mace106 yes but it was intentional to tell people about mick foley winning so in the example i used it would be jumping off the roof hitting the trampoline but still breaking your leg. in other words they did what they planned to do the effect just wasn't what they wanted it to be.

[@GreaterPhenom]

What Sid did when he jumped from the top rope was intentional too, only the effect wasn't what they wanted to be....

[@mace106]

what wcw was doing was using cheap tactics , it back fired = botch

[@manband20]

I'd put Sting v. Hogan at #1 simply because it spelled the end of WCW. 18 months wasted with a horrible match, a botched finish, and a subsequently bad debut by Bret all come together to make a delicious pot of "Fuck This Company Stew".

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Its been documented that revealing that Mankind wins the WWE title on Nitro spelled the end. Half the Nitro viewers changed the channel in seconds lol

[@ilikethecokev2]

I know, and it had probably the best build up to a match in the company's history, to boot. That just made it sting (no pun intended) all the more.

[@greenskiis]

**** Hogan for that colossal CF. Most selfish decision in wrestling history given the lead-up, circumstances, and the fact that Hogan was a chicken who wigged out at the mere sight of Sting before more than holding his own during it. TOTAL BS!!!

[@Holden308]

While the 18 month build up to Hogan vs Sting was mostly good and the finish absolute garbage, unfortunately the botch started the week before Starrcade on Nitro. Sting came down from the rafters as per normal when Hogan and Bischoff were in the ring. The eventual beatdown of Sting started when Hogan hit him with the most pathetic punch to the back I have seen and Sting went down like a lead balloon. For 18 months Sting had been this invincible vigilante mostly against the nWo. No one, not Nash, not Hall, Giant, Savage....none of them could touch him. Yet Hogan gives him a virtual love tap to the back and he crumples in a heap allowing other nWo members to rush the ring and beat him up. I know it was designed to make it look like Hogan was the only one in the nWo who stood a chance against Sting, but the way it was done was pathetic and just killed the invincible thing they had going with Sting.

[@lssjbryan5475]

manband

[@ReelNinja1]

In an interview with Dusty Rhodes, he says The Shockmaster had practiced busting through the wall before the show. WCW announcer David Crockett had someone nail a 2 by 4 on the lower half of the wall which the shockmaster was not aware of. Still a bad botch but Rhodes blames Crockett for that claiming he sabotaged them.

[@creoleDJ]

Stevie Ray said the same thing. He said Sid Vicious warned the prop guys that the board was too high & he was gonna trip on it, but they didn’t listen. And then it happened! That’s why you hear Sid saying, “Oh, God! I told ya!” when it happened! 😂😂

[@hgb0005]

"Yeah, but whose side is he on!?!?!?!" - Bobby Heenan

[@JofoInTheRing]

Lololol

[@xXFocuSXxTheMarket]

Sid Vicious has better mic skills than Boreman Lames

[@luciancrosby6331]

The name of the channel is whatculture wrestling

[@ben6993]

it's a reupload. the channel used to be called "whatculture wwe" but they had to change it, presumably for copyright reasons.

[@vector19871]

Except at 0:21 you can see a video uploaded from them and the channel is still called WhatCulture Wrestling

[@djamelbrik9181]

Only the audio is reused

[@riccardozanetti2893]

"This is where the big boys play, huh? Look at the adjective, play!" Where is this botch?

[@PlumbPitiful]

"Play" is not an adjective!

[@dickthecockjohnson]

We going to get "Jerry Lawler WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"?

[@jvadoptante]

Assault charge.. don't know who or what yet.

[@LittleShayman]

WhatCulture Wrestling. Actually

[@JimHalpert99]

This is an older video.

[@JimHalpert99]

I love Hats Read the comment right above me.

[@HighHeelKnight]

I remember Sin Vicious destroying his leg. It was horrible. I had never seen an in-ring injury like that before. Those kind of moments (a) make me glad that I didn't pursue a wrestling career, and (b) showcase how athletes often get injured during "simple" tasks, like Enzo Amore getting immediately knocked out while sliding under the bottom ring rope. :-(

[@silver47official]

Sid's hair used to crack me up as a kid.

[@TheBomber15]

0:58 You say the WCW commentators didn't know what was happening?? They NEVER knew what was happening!

[@TheBomber15]

And Mick Foley can vouch for that also.

[@sicfrynut]

bobby heenan said that was fat tony shiavone's fault. he wouldnt share any info with the broadcast team because tony thought it made him look smarter.

[@adampalmer7387]

Cournioni you just made the list

[@santhoshkumarraju2000]

It's Finally Adam!! #BX

[@SirJoelsuf1]

BX Crew unite!

[@veky5046]

Reupload smh

[@silvergrey2861]

No, it's just old video was reuploaded, sorry

[@vanshz8917]

We can't say that anymore ;-;

[@santhoshkumarraju2000]

Vanshz Saiyan that hit the feels bro.

[@rojoshow13]

WWE must've just recently edited Sids leg break on the network because I remember looking it up when the network launched and I think it showed everything.

[@WebVManReturns]

That's why I prefer buying the DVDs, though it now annoys me most of DVDs have the WWF logo blurred out or WWE logo instead of the WWF logo which they can now display on the WWE Network.

[@CoolmanDB95]

Im glad of that tbh because im skwimish

[@awkc63]

Every major promotion uses elevator cable WWE uses the rubber bands fed through garden hose wrapped in tape

[@joescott778]

I saw Sid's leg live. Oh. My. God. it was horrific.

[@kylecavanagh5305]

You might aswell do 10 worst botches in TNA

[@karlitosway7474]

1. It exist

[@SunshineStateCoasters]

The Shockmaster was a very bad audition for the Kool Aid Man

[@PrincessofPower84]

OH, YEAH!!!

[@Carlitonsp1]

Sid's leg break was never seen on PPV. It cut to backstage as it was happening, and the full footage was shown the next night on the Nitro.

[@iamclough3385]

You are right. I remember that was the first thing the announcers discussed when Nitro came on the air.

[@martyclarkworship]

Thank you for clarifying! I was certain I saw it on Nitro

[@rubysandhu2620]

last time i was this early the rock still had hair

[@BBall0027]

6:09 I guess that's perfect timing. I just finished my lunch when Adam suggested to stop eating

[@chrishine2717]

Two things with the Shockmaster - they did a trial run earlier in the day, which went fine. Then when they rebuilt the piece of the set, they put a plank across the base of the collapsible bit, about two feet from the floor, as additional structure support. And they didn't mention this to the Shockmaster, despite his vision being severely limited by his helmet. So WCW tried something, it worked fine, so they dicked about with it and didn't mention it to the talent. Story of the company. Secondly, Shocky's helmet is/was actually a Stormtrooper's helmet (out of Star Wars) painted up and covered in glitter.

[@Hilversumborn]

Foley is such a pro.

[@richi12345678910]

I'm really curious what the background score is ? I've heard it in many a EA sports games but I still don't know the name. Great video by the way.

[@Teczt]

What about booker t calling hulk hogan a nigga!?!

[@brendan909]

What about wcw hiring hulk Hogan.

[@MTRZ97]

What about WCW hiring Vince Russo

[@Mitchx42]

That's not a botch if it was the other way than it would of been a botch.

[@MTRZ97]

Mitchx42 We know that (with the exception of the booker t thing), none of the things are botches, but they were big mistakes

[@BishopS]

I think you guys missed Sid Vicious's leg break. I'm the type of guy who would avoid that at all costs and erase any trace of it from my memory if I saw it coming, but I think its big enough to be on this list... Also I only recall seeing 9 botches on the list. Seems like a possible oversight.

[@blackmagefelix6548]

I'd watch a top 10 of Sid's mic botches any day.

[@sub4ra]

Me too, that would be great. Maybe Lex Luger could open it with his USWF botch!

[@flyingferron]

Sid vs. Scott Steiner in a verbal fight. "You take your half a brain, subtract from my 2/3rd chance of winnin', that spells doom for you"

[@sub4ra]

Flying Ferron I laughed, then I thought....hey, that is exactly something Sid would say!

[@kawaiimoegirl6414]

How do you not have Steiner on this list?

[@giorosal4552]

Shockmaster better debut that roman reigns career

[@stalectos]

so your saying the shield was awful? also some people actually like reigns not a soul likes the shockmaster debut as anything but a good laugh so there is that...

[@stalectos]

***** here is the thing for shockmasters debut to be better than roman reigns entire career you have to be able to say nothing good about any part of reigns career at all. in this case that means either somehow saying he was responsible for 0% of the good moments the shield had or saying the shield had no good moments. that and either way you will likely not find any shockmaster fans but i know there is at least 1 roman reigns fan (namely me but im sure there are others).

[@phillipwhite948]

Shockmaster didn't botch his entrance. He had a vision of the future and decided to do his impression of Roman Reigns' career.

[@jaketheauroran]

Best part of Shockmaster was hearing Flair go "Oh god..." in the background

[@coldblooded2687]

Gio R so were you just activity trying to act like a stupid

[@kaa992]

Sid still has better promos than Reigns.

[@theceng]

there's also bobby heenan almost giving away that hogan was turning heel by saying who's side is he on?

[@Djarra]

Someone at ring side gave Foley's ear to Sting who then wrapped it in a towel from the fridge and was driven to the hospital to see if it could be reattached. The first thing the staff did when a large barechested man in neon tights and facepaint walked in with a body part was call the police.

[@MonkyMan692]

Sid destroying his leg always reminds me of when Anderson Silvia’s leg snapped in half when he fought Chris weidman. Will never not be horrific to watch

[@quintoncayko1909]

I just realized What Culture Wrestling. WCW

[@logankerr8090]

How in the hell did you guys NOT put in the entire Goldberg vs. William Regal match!?

ive watched "the shockmaster" clip over 500 times. i laugh every time.

[@JofoInTheRing]

We just had him on our podcast last week :)

[@corylandolt3614]

You forgot about DDP vs. The Machine! During the middle of the match, the "Machine" INTENTIONALLY jumps off the top turn buckle and crushes his nuts on the rope! HAHAHA!!! Classic botch!

[@Ryusuta]

My god, that Sid Vicious leg break was seriously one of the most brutal things I've seen in wrestling. Jesus fuck, man.

[@jaimeh8246]

Right when Adam said "If you're eating, you should stop" I was actually eating a sandwich 😂😂😂

[@tushshubro]

Adam Blampied is poor man's Paul Heyman. Love him.

[@bigdavegriff1]

this now needs updating thanks to titus world slllliiiiidddde

[@Lenzzzzzz2099]

"Our partner is going to shock the world... He's none other than the.... SHOCK MASTER" *Explosion* Shock master falls on his face haha , cracks me up every time.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

"Say what you want about Sid Vicious... and he wouldn't be able to respond in a coherent way." Gotta love bait-and-switch humour.

[@Lunarpollo5622]

*You made it even worst with the crunching sound*

[@BeeBumper]

Say what you will about Sid but when the glittery storm trooper fell flat on his face, yes shockmaster Tenta I know, Sid was the only one that tried to salvage it. THe rest of them lost their shit. I guess it was just another day at the office for Sid.

[@bink]

Angel Gd It wasn't Tenta, it was Fred Ottman (Earthquake's tag partner, Typhoon/Tugboat).

[@BeeBumper]

yep, I always swore it was Tenta, but yep you're right, my bad.

[@bink]

Angel Gd Np, Tenta was another masked character, Golga from The Oddities.

[@julianlymond975]

HULK HOGAN'S KAMEHAMEHA FAILED! XD

[@SPac316]

Shock Master for HoF! Well...he's at least more deserving than Snooki...

[@rickykuron3888]

How about the botches in ECW history

[@stalectos]

pretty sure if it happened in the original ecw all botches were retroactively intended.

[@GuapoSallePanorama]

Sid Vicious mic skills > Román Reigns Mic Skills

[@bruiserbrony771]

Actually, from what I heard Sid's leg break actually wasn't aired on the PPV as the camera was focused on the mystery man (Road Warrior Animal) backstage. They did show it the next night on Nitro, though. Also, one botch you missed was when Johnny "The Bull" did a springboard leg drop to the outside of the ring on Nitro and literally broke his ass.

[@AdraTheGhost]

4:20 oh mick. gotta love his dedcation to his craft...probably could have actually worked that into an angle for a good month

[@minhazurrahman8878]

[@primetimeericprime4033]

You guys totally should do a Top 10 Worst Sid Vicious / Sycho Sid promos. that'd be hilarious!

[@orizach01]

what about that ppv when hogan vs warrior took too long and the main event golberg vs ddp was cut in the middle and was aired later on free tv

[@jacksonloram7887]

That was caused by the Hogan and Warrior match, it went longer than it was supposed to.

[@louiswhellans6545]

what about worst ten worst debuts ever

[@big_dro1713]

Red Rooster!

[@dragonwheel5]

"worst ten worst"

[@phillipwhite948]

Shockmaster didn't botch his entrance. He did his impression of Terry Taylor's WWE career. By the way, am I the only one who thinks Shockmaster was wearing a silver, glittery Stormtrooper mask?

[@jemiahdapap8053]

Sids leg, Mankind hell in a cell, a Shawn Michaels gets color, colour? Whatev. Those were some of the sickest things I saw

[@F4tG]

Sid Vicious should get bonus points for at least trying to maintain character and show fear of the Shockmaster after that horrible botch.

[@Nelsonfixe1]

yaaaay adam

[@Nelsonfixe1]

no homo

[@dannyswanger1211]

I felt the same way when I heard Adam's voice. The others are..... pretty decent. But Adam is the best.

[@hydrogalacticdude1902]

This is a Reuploaded video

[@mizvsdaworld]

WhatCulture Wrestling stands for WCW hhmmmm.... Maybe this channel is a botch

[@oldandbitter]

Few people were watching at the time, but there was a Nitro in 2000 where Hacksaw Jim Duggan attacked Shane Douglas with a "2×4" which was clearly a piece of foam that bent in half while Douglas sold it like he was bludgeoned with a tree trunk!

[@TheZeldaplayer99]

"One old man would Hadouken another old man" I couldn't help but laugh XD

[@markboon2024]

He fell on his fooking arse.

[@fuckooo]

Kevin Nash's 'check the adjective, PLAY, we ain't here to play' has to be on the list

[@MegaDodo88]

Sid's leg break was never shown on PPV, it happened when they were revealing the mystery 4th man. They showed it the next night on Nitro.

[@Omni-Rage]

Flair’s live reaction to the Shockmaster was fuckin’ gold.

[@JasonEmerson711]

Ahhhh, Billy Kidman. Brings back memories.

[@I.S.N.O.B.]

I waved at Charles Robertson at a WWE house thing at Rome, NY's Turning Stone. He waved back.

[@rogerbabin8175]

I appreciate the warning before Sid's incident...I've heard about it before so I quickly switched my view to something else and let the audio play through it. Please keep up this practice on all future videos.

[@thundergaming5785]

Jim Cornette falling from the scaffolding and subsequently destroying his knee in the process has to be one of the worst, since it happened to a non-wrestler who had no business being in such a dangerous spot.

[@Gigas0101]

The channel is called WhatCulture Wrestling. Also, would you be willing to do the top ten Scott Steiner promos? Also also, Shockmaster had a terrible run after Wargames, and I'm surprised you didn't mention the crazy conspiracy theory where Shocky claimed someone "fixed" a portion of the wall that was supposed to break away, resulting in him tripping.

[@thundergaming5785]

WCW's worst botch? Revealing that Mankind would win the belt on Raw. No one could have guessed just how badly that would backfire and it marked the beginning of the end for WCW.

[@dfaircloth30]

The funniest thing about the Shockmaster's debut was not mentioned is that you can clearly hear Davy Boy Smith saying "I think he just fell on his ass" during the promo. And that the Shockmaster sounds like Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget.

[@gentlemanjester637]

Ah, Mick Foley. Loses an ear? "They should've made it more entertaining..."

[@NobleKorhedron]

UGH! I'm glad he warned me not to be eating when he covered Syd's busted leg.....

[@josealejandrosotodonoso]

great video and great channel but can you made a video about the worst botches of ecw or tna

[@jonathanhughes1318]

I'm kind of surprised Booker T calling Hogan the n-word was not on here. The fact that he noticeably catches himself after the fact makes it even better! Hahaha. Another classic WCW moment...

[@cypher515]

Okay, just watched the clip on DailyMotion... and Nick Patrick's count _was_ fast. Just _ridiculously subtly_ fast. What _really_ killed Sting in retrospect was him not kicking out _just_ after the hand came down. (Actually he stays down for a solid minute.)

[@robertt9342]

Imagine how epic it would be if Brock landed that shooting star press?

[@QuackeryRobust]

"That video did ok" *Has millions of views*

[@phantomfish6715]

What no mention of the Dean Malenko botch in the Catch as Catch Can Match from Souled Out 2000 against Billy Kidman? A truly baffling botch from such a pro.

[@Dustinkailey]

" It's WCW time to rust," would have been perfect
