10 Totally HILARIOUS Wrestling Botches

This former World Heavyweight Champion doesn't just walk alone, folks.

He beats himself up on his own, too!

If you haven't ever been treated to the sight of the mighty Dave Bautista making a glorious mess of a Mark Henry shove 13 years ago, then prepare yourself for some 'Animal' comedy gold long before he was cracking jokes alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy.

With 'The World's Strongest Man' storming to the ring to aid John Cena, after he'd already been utterly battered by big Dave and Sheamus, Batista's attempts to keep Henry from intervening on the apron soon saw him being hurled into another dimension thanks to a monstrous one-armed push from the powerhouse.

Did Batista mistime his massive back body drop here? Or was he simply reacting to an incredibly smooth German Suplex from Mr. You Can't See Me (as noted by one rather amused fan on Reddit)?

Either way, the bizarre botch has since gone down in history as one of the funniest mistimed bumps of the last few decades, with 'The Animal' giving WWE lovers yet another meme for the ages before leaving the organisation for the first time back in 2010.
