Notes...

Cesaro vs. Enzo wouldn't usually make the list but you need to have WWE footage or people get pissed, even though in terms of botches there was barely any catastrophes this year. The standard of wrestling is too high, dammit.

Thank fuck for Triplemania, making up three matches on this video. I picked Drunk Jarrett over Star for the top-spot as Torneo was indirectly responsible for ending the GFW/Impact merger, which is quite impressive for a bad match. Both were the absolute worst, not helped by Kevin Gill and Kevin Gill's pal on commentary with no notes.

That CMLL match didn't make it into Botchamania until now because I don't watch lucha as I can't tell the difference between bad lucha and good lucha. I see matches like the Leyendas Mexicana one and think it's bad but then I'll see a load of ***** reviews and CLASSIC REAL LUCHA comments and decide this isn't for me.

The rest of the PCW match was fine, but that's the greatest botch of 2017, I'm sorry. Was she going for a Van Terminator/Coast To Coast? Did she expect Saraya to walk towards her? The world may never know, but fell credit to Stallion on commentary for trying to bullshit a reason. ''Did she have hair in her eyes? Was she seeing double?''

The rest of the Xplosion match was fine too, after that horrible minute of awfulness. It blows my mind that this match was PRE-TAPED weeks in advance and that's how they put it on TV.

9. Christi Jaynes & Shotzi Blackheart vs. Lucy Cole & Saraya Knight (PCW vs IPW The Confrontation)

10. CCK vs. The Origin: Banter Edition vs. Extra Talent-Less (PROGRESS Chapter 52)

Notes...

Was going to include the Fox vs. Banks one from Raw but they immediately replayed the finish and pointed out it was messed up which made me think it wasn't a real botch as only JBL gets to mock things when they go wrong.

Poor Nero, not only did that match die on it's arse at one of the biggest wXw shows of the year but he ended up looking right at me as he was shrugging. I'm sure I was the last guy he wanted to see but well done for kick-starting Da Mack's turn.

Rachel Evers vs. Marti Belle wasn't bad but ''Belle was originally scheduled to win but then they saw her wrestle and changed their minds mid-match'' deserves a mention.

I should point out the name of the team is Extra Talent-Ed and not Talent-Less because PROGRESS didn't appreciate the pun. I didn't appreciate seeing them wrestle so I guess we're even.

If you disagree with the selection or have your own opinions, please keep them to your self. Or leave a comment, either/or.
