Botched!: Yoshi-Hashi, Brie, Wrong Events, More

Hi, hello & welcome to Botched! Kind of a downer week as far as the funny mistakes go. Most of them are resulting in injury, and we never like to see that. As much as we might enjoy it when things go awry, we don’t need people getting injured for the sake of our entertainment. Hopefully next week we’ll be back to some more light-hearted fun.
1. Chaos leads to Yoshi-Hashi’s Fall: There were some bad times going down at the end of New Japan’s Destruction in Kobe show. Okada was getting destroyed by his seemingly former Chaos colleagues Jay White & Gedo. Yoshi-Hashi emerged on the ramp to help his friend Okada, but wasn’t able to provide much assistance.

Yoshi-Hashi’s header into the ring apron certainly limited his usefulness. Entering the ring while bleeding doesn’t carry the same fear factor that it did back in the day with Abdullah the Butcher. The Knife Pervert Jay White had no problem dispatching of the man.
2. I think everybody already saw this oneL I did a whole column on this one. Brie Bella has had an unfortunate run of luck since returning to the ring, and Liv Morgan was on the receiving end of it on Raw.

Liv suffered a concussion and will enter the concussion protocol. We wish her a speedy recovery.
3. Brie vs. Squad Part 2: We weren’t done in that particular match.

I’m not 100% sure what was supposed to happen there. What we saw was Brie landing a forearm & Ruby looking at her like “what”. It was an interesting way to go about it.
4. Foxy Neckbreaker :At least we have Alicia Fox for some good ol’ fashioned botchy fun.
Fox is probably happy this happened the same episode as bella's kicks pic.twitter.com/3aCRxOoWs3

Bless Nia Jax for still taking that bump. She’s way too nice.
5. Dolph Forgets When Seth Couldn’t Beat Him: When you have so many matches with somebody, you forget which ones you won & which ones you lost sometimes. Dolph Ziggler was trying to stir the pot between Dean Ambrose & his Shield brothers, but got a little confused on the particulars of Dean’s return.
At 2:41 into the video, Dolph tells the story of how Seth couldn’t beat him at SummerSlam, so he got Dean to come back & help. The issue? Seth won at SummerSlam. Dolph’s a month off in his re-telling of the story. It’s a somewhat minor quibble, but it’s also a sign of how interchangeable the shows can be.
