10 Worst Botches In AEW History

10. Penelope Ford & Kris Statlander - Dynamite 13/05/2020

There are plenty of jokes and quips waiting to be enjoyed in this here list, plays on words that poke fun at wrestling moves gone wrong. A terrifying man struggling to rip off a t-shirt is funny. Two seasoned professionals falling over each other and hugging it out on the mat? Very funny, very funny indeed.

A reverse Hurricanrana going wrong is not funny in the slightest. Also known as the Poison 'Rana, this move is a serious injury waiting to happen. The amount of moving parts leaves nothing to chance and being thrown onto the top of your head at such a speed is opening the door to a broken neck, at best.

All of this makes the slight misstep made by Penelope Ford and Kris Statlander during a four-way on Dynamite all the more terrifying. Both women (Statlander in particular) were lucky to escape from this botch without a serious injury. Ford's back was in serious peril, while Statlander's neck was left entirely exposed to the elements.

Luckily for both women, the botch didn't lead to any tragedies, but it should be remembered as a reminder for those going to lengths that simply aren't necessary.
