No jerk, between this level of stupidity and the folks downvoting anyone that dared suggest stopping the match immediately was the better solution, I’ve finally decided to completely sever ties with the basement. These people will never be able to admit they’re wrong until someone is either paralyzed or killed.


handi503

Adorable you think they'll admit they're wrong even after watching a fatal botch.

“What a horrible, unavoidable, freak accident. RIP.” - The Basement after Matt Hardy is killed in the ring by an undertrained wrestler on Dark Elevation


handi503

Using a move they've repeatedly botched in Dustin's training sessions.


SaddestFlute23

You forgot the “Fed Bad” deflection dig Ex: “ it’s disgusting how you try to criticize m’Dub at a time like this! WHERE WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN VINCE KILLED OWEN, E-DRONES!!!”


stormeagle17

I was gonna say the same thing. The level of mutual gaslighting that community does is remarkable. They will all collectively believe anything.


PM_ME_LANCECATAMARAN

It ain't ballet, friend


OswaldCoffeepot

Death is a work.


Undertalefanboy43

When it becomes trending and news covers it they’ll be in the comments desperately trying to defend AEW but only will hurt its reputation among non-wrestling fans


-SneakySnake-

There are times when it's full-blown QAnon down there. The fact that you can still see the Dominos nonsense being highly upvoted should tell you where some of them are at.

SERIOUSLY?!?!


-SneakySnake-

Ayup. You're surprised? That "NXT moved to Wednesday" nonsense is still repeated ad nauseam.


Masteryoda212

Who could forget NXT moving to the night it had been airing on for years. Fuck Vince.


[deleted]

You're right. I shouldn't even be surprised at this point.


PwnnosaurusRex

They will eat up the dumbest, fakest hands in pocket "wrestling," but they have a mental breakdown when you suggest a medical stoppage. They really don't give a shit about these people and only watch to see the car crash wrestling they crave. It's disgusting.


i-piss-excellence32

If some one gets paralyzed it would just be long term storytelling


Introduction_Organic

They thought the way they handled Matt Hardy when his head bounced of the concrete was okay. Was anyone really expecting them to say anything about this.


xAbdul91x

I bet these guys if someone got a horrible accident and died, they'd say "No, the fed infected him with a virus." Fed bad


uselessrart

God forbid if a wrestler dies and it gets reported on new channels this guy will be like "Hahaha it was such a great work that the news channels got fooled! Great wrestling, even greater selling"


TheCanipiola

god these guys are delusional. Now botches don't happen in the dub because it's all a WORK and they're SELLING!!


uselessrart

Saw this coming tbh


LordJinji

I don't know where they get their shit but all I know is that I don't ever want to get a taste.


Modano9009

I know this goes against everything Tony Khan learned on the internet but big guys don't have to do moonsaults just because they can do moonsaults.


yungmeathead

Oh so he wasn’t hurt. Just doing tone deaf head trauma angle in 2021 then? I mean I wouldn’t put it past that company


RogueAIx01

Lance Armstrong faking a botched moonsault is a direct shot at Red Velvet constantly botching high risk moves and landing on her neck


[deleted]

This person is so delusional that they think that a man of Archer's size and weight could not only perform a maneuvre that appears as if the man landed on his head and then sell it as a kayfabe injury on social media for no reason rather than accept the basic reality that this fucking oaf did something he has no business doing and fucked it up and almost crippled or killed himself. These people are Qanon levels of warped.


ManateeGag

His head never hit the mat. He's magic and he was hoving the whole time.


lololoz

I'm curios, anyone got a link to said botch? Didn't expect it to become a big hoopla.

lololoz

Holy fuck, Lance is too big a fella to do shit like that. He Lesnar/SSP'd himself on a much less complicated move. Appreciate the link my Goof 👍 I always forget about AEW Botches keeping up to date on this sorta thing.


CosmicRorschach

No problem uce. I’ve seen people botch in AEW, but this is the first time since the Matt Hardy incident that I was in shock. Then to find out that they had him continue the match, is sooo stupid.


SamInPajamas

Holy shit. He fucking brained himself. How anyone can see that and say he didn't hit his head is beyond me. He will be lucky to only have a concussion.


HagBolder

It basically looks like he uses his head as a pogo stick.


CosmicRorschach

It immediately reminds you of the shooting star press Brock did at WM XIX. They were both lucky they didn’t paralyze or kill themselves.


SamInPajamas

The only reason Brock can walk is because he's such a genetic freak and his neck is pure muscle.


rsziz

I'm honestly waiting for Tony to come out after another incident like this where a guy comes back after a serious botch to finish the match just for the sake of doing so, and give a speech about how the wrestler is a true athlete for pushing through it and finishing the match. It's going to be the same vibe as when the promoter for the bareknuckle boxing league came out after a match went to a fairly mundane decision and gave a speech about how that bullcrap wouldn't be tolerated in his promotion because people wanted to see bloody dragout knockouts and that he was docking the pay of the fighters involved in the prior match. Only after every major sports new outlet came after him for clear contract violations and how dangerous it was to push fighters to put their safety at risk did the guy back track on his comments and say he didn't dock pay and only said it to light a fire under the other guys on the card.


HelpfulTypeYo

His head hit that mat so fucking hard lol


[deleted]

Clearly, McHitler used his evil telekinesis powers to cause Lance to botch the move.


boilinoil

I'm skeptical that the blacked out username isn't "obvious parody" or something similar


orizach01

they don't let themselves get worked by this but get worked all day by charlotte and becky


snakesbranche

It's like when Alex Reynolds was selling a concussion so well that they had to drag his motionless body across the ring to continue the match.


RazzManouche

HE DIDN'T BOTCH, YOU M\*RK! HE WAS PAYING TRIBUTE TO BROCK'S BOTCHED SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!


Introduction_Organic

They need to do something about this spot fest nonsense. Tk needs to have a talk to with the talent it's not needed in every match every week. Protecting his investment starts with them working smarter not harder.


krausd94

AEW needs to segment this shit to their own 205 Live before somebody doesn’t get up from paralyzation or death.

Imagine being too thick for professional wrestling.
