10 Totally HILARIOUS Wrestling Botches

3. A "Brie Mode" Dropkick Doesn't Quite Hit The Mark

As noted a few times already in this list, any time a wrestler takes to the top-rope, there's always a decent chance things simply won't play out as one would hope; never underestimate how tricky it actually is to send yourself flying through the air off a set of slippery ropes.

And on this occasion, Brie Bella's usually pretty accurate missile dropkick itself wasn't actually entirely to blame for this biggest botch of the summer at SummerSlam 2015 (14:55 in the video below).

The fact Becky Lynch was clearly nowhere near the position she was supposed to be in before dodging the incoming kick from the heavens as planned made the sight of Brie not soaring quite as far as she'd wanted to pre-"BRIIEEEE MODE!"-cry even more inadvertently amusing.

That and the commentary team letting out their own enthusiastic version of the catchphrase as she crashed and burned during the three-team elimination match between Team Bella (Nikki & Brie Bella and Alicia Fox), Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte Flair and Lynch), and Team B.A.D. (Tamina, Naomi and Sasha Banks).

You can definitely see what the two were going for in the moment, but that doesn't change the fact that the evidently misjudged spot elicited more unintentional giggles than stunned gasps in the moment.
