13 Worst WCW Botches

10. No One Knows Anything No One Saw Anything This Never Happened

On the 28th August 2000, Paisley, Tygress and Major Gunns were set to face off in a three-way dance on Nitro. Twenty seconds into the match, Tygress had taken Gunns down, flipped over into a bridge and scored a pinfall as the referee counted to three. The announce team, unfortunately, hadn€™t been paying attention, and didn€™t notice the three-count, continuing to act as though the match was still underway. The ring announcer, on the referee€™s say-so, announced Tygress the winner. As the commentary team argued amongst themselves as to whether it was a two or a three count, and as to whether the referee has actually called a win or not, the three stood in the ring, at a loss as to what to do next, until Paisley (the real life Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman, Booker T€™s wife and his future manager in the WWE) kickstarted things by turning around and stalking backstage again, fuelling speculation that she might have been the one intended to go over. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5mgqy_tygress-vs-major-gunns-vs-paisley-2_sport No one€™s really sure what was supposed to happen, and no one€™s really sure what did happen. At some point, everyone involved just gave up, as if agreeing by silent consensus to never speak of it again: the cameras cut away, the commentary team changed the subject and the ladies just left the ring.
