10 Wrestling "Botches" That Were Totally Intentional

10. PAC Sells Depth Perception

The sports analogy doesn't really work in this case. No real sportsperson spits horrible mist in another person's face, unless of course they're Jamie Carragher gobbing phlegm on a 14 year-old girl.

A month or so back, Malakai Black did spit black mist in PAC's face, leaving him temporarily unable to see out of his right eye. It was a deft booking touch; a unique way of beating a protected, storyline-injured star while building FTR as threats for the World Tag Team Titles and Black himself ahead of a dream singles match.

PAC carried the injury into an AEW Rampage match against FTR alongside Penta El Zero M. Early reports from Atlanta suggested that the match just didn't come together. In reality, it was fantastic and layered with creative realism; perhaps PAC's expert, nuanced storytelling fooled the cheap seats.

Loss of sight results in poor depth perception. PAC used the realism of the injury to inform his performance; when attempting a springboard aerial attack, he deliberately misjudged the distance between his feet and the ropes and jumped off the top using his shin, allowing Dax Harwood to batter him in a heat sequence.
