16. You Can Rum, But You Can't Slide
Chris Jericho's return to WWE in early 2012 was a bit confusing after weeks of creepy black and white vignettes starring ominous-looking children, Y2J returned in a light-bulb covered jacket and went weeks without saying a word. In the end, though, it was all a ruse Jericho played the weirdo, then attacked WWE Champion CM Punk for having the temerity to call himself "The Best in the World." The two met at WrestleMania XXVIII, with Punk picking up a hard-earned win. The feud was far from over, though. Jericho had already worked his way under Punk's skin by revealing to the world that the champion had adopted his straight-edge lifestyle as a result of his father's alcoholism (Jericho would go on make similar comments, though false ones, about Punk's sister and mother). The night after WrestleMania, while Punk was wrestling, a humiliated Jericho ran out and decided to get some payback, attacking him and then dousing him with a bottle of alcohol. Unfortunately, during the beatdown, Jericho slipped in the puddle that formed and, for a moment, was floored next to his foe. As far as botches go, that one's pretty forgivable: it was supposed to be a spur-of-the-moment attack, with fur flying and booze everywhere. It's pretty realistic to imagine that the attacker might stumble in the heat of the moment. That's all just diplomacy, though in fact, it just looked pretty goofy.
15. Land Of The Falling Sabu
The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying, human highlight reel Sabu helped define the style that set ECW apart from the rest of the wrestling world in the 1990s. He was one of the most exciting pro wrestlers of all time. He made the fans remember his performances forever, giving little regard to his own well-being. He screwed up a lot. One of Sabu's most popular moves was the Triple Jump Legdrop (with variations, such as the Triple Jump Moonsault), which would see the daredevil leap onto an unfolded steel chair, then up to the top rope, then off, leg-first, at his opponent (who was either on the canvas or out of the ring). If it sounds like it requires great poise, athleticism, and timing, that's because it does. In this particular example, Sabu was wrestling for Japanese promotion Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), which had a working agreement with ECW in the late 90s. Sabu leaps up to the chair, his poise and athleticism top-notch. Unfortunately, his timing is a bit off. Noticing that opponent D-Von Dudley is not in position to catch him, Sabu puts the brakes on. That's what it looks like when you put the brakes on in mid-air.
