WWE: 18 Embarrassing Wrestling Move Fails

6. In Quad We Trust

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_4eGC2VkBc At the 2005 Royal Rumble, both Batista and John Cena were riding waves of momentum that would soon see each man become a World Champion for the first time. Still, it was the Royal Rumble €“ only one man could be victorious. So when Batista lifted Cena up for the Batista Bomb and both men tumbled over the top rope, landing simultaneously, the fans and the referees at ringside were confused €“ what would happen? Would we have a "double winner" scenario, a la the 1994 event? Not if Vincent Kennedy McMahon had anything to say about it. McMahon, furious for some reason, stormed out from the back, intent on laying down the law. He slid into the ring... and collapsed. As the world watched, even more confused, Vince sat on the canvas and demanded the match be restarted. The referees complied and Batista won the Rumble. It turned out Vince McMahon had torn his quadriceps muscle. To make matters worse, after refusing help and putting too much weight on his healthy quadriceps, he tore that one, too. McMahon was reportedly confined to a wheelchair and in poor spirits afterwards. Of course, that didn't stop him from sauntering into the ring on Raw just a few months later, healthy as a chemically-altered horse, and criticizing an injured Randy Orton for appearing smaller than before.

5. Welcome To The Machine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRDi2lK6b-s (at 6:28 in the video above) WCW in the winter of 2000 was a strange place; after Vince Russo left in January (but before he was brought back with Eric Bischoff in April), Kevin Sullivan was made head booker. His tenure in charge led to a magical realm of wrestling where anything could happen; a fantastic place where Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn were replaced by Yapapi Strap Matches and The Cat versus The Dog. When it was announced on a random Thunder that a new wrestler named The Machine would be debuting against Diamond Dallas Page, imaginations ran wild. It turned out The Machine was Emory Hail, a WCW signee who, despite his towering size, never rose past enhancement status. His match with DDP was nothing special, except for the wonderful moment captured above. According to Bryan Alvarez and R.D. Reynolds in The Death of WCW, The Machine's jumping crotch slam on the top rope gained mythical status in the WCW locker room, with DDP still laughing about it months later. Fair's fair, though €“ the ridiculousness starts when Page runs to the far set of ropes in order to trip up his perched opponent. Still, the image left in the minds of most viewers was The Machine's awkward, hilarious bump, which represented an awkward, hilarious time for the company as a whole.
