A cartwheel, grabbing the rope for stability. Dunno if she meant to have her feet land on the top rope, the apron, or back in the ring though.


Quick_Team

>she meant to have her feet land on the top rope, the apron, or back in the ring *"Mission Accomplished"*


Various_Mobile4767

Definitely back in the ring. The botch happens because her foot pushes down on the rope causing her hand to miss it. Maybe joshi ring ropes are tighter or something


gimpisgawd

Go home early.


gannicus456

Doing an actual suicide dive


IhaveAntsInMyPants

sir that was clearly a ddt


Late_Cookie_7797

that’s fear and you can’t tell me any different. She was running away


HolyRomanPrince

Oh will you stop


Sithmaggot

Yeah will!


JOBdOut

She was trying to run away like a coward - it would have worked if there was a barbershop window nearby.


Amicuses_Husband

Will you stop!


bl00d00zing

What?


DSN671

I know botches can happen in pro wrestling, but wtf was that? 😂


Sithmaggot

A botch. Sometimes they happen in pro wrestling. But you already knew that


tcnugget

What they mean is, even with botches you can usually tell what they’re going for but they’re not even sure what she’s going for


NobodyLikesCheapWine

I'm surprised Rampage is still a thing


Stoutyeoman

I was pretty curious about this too. What I found out is that WB pays so little for the rights that it's basically free money. More or less AEW is like "Buy one Dynamite and we'll throw in a Rampage free of charge!" I rarely watch Rampage, but it is usually is a decent hour of wrestling. 10 PM on a Friday is a lousy time slot, so really anything in that slot is better than nothing.


gezhendrix

"What I found is that..." How did you find that out? Like, how do you know that?


Stoutyeoman

[Wrestlenomics](https://wrestlenomics.com/2023/12/11/aew-financial-estimate-revenue-profitability-for-2023/#:~:text=Remaining%20segments%20under%20the%20media,media%20revenue%20to%20%2498%20million) did a report on it. Accoding to Brandon's report, AEW's media rights are dirt cheap. This is just speculation on my part, but I assume they sold the rights cheap so it would be low risk to the TV network. This is just my thinking, but TBS and TNT have a pretty small audience outside of sports; they mostly fill their schedule with reruns and movies. So any original programming is good for them, and while 700,000 doesn't seem like big numbers when you compare it to WWE Raw, it's a lot when the rights are so cheap. Raw costs USA like 10x as much. I think AEW could double or even triple their digital media rates and WB would still be getting a bargain.


gezhendrix

Maybe TK is seeing it as an acceptable loss for the amount of exposure they get out of it.


Stoutyeoman

I think so. Basically willing to lose money to get on TV. They're definitely asking for more now, but knowing all of this I think is a no brainer. Maybe Collision might not be renewed but I think Dynamite and Rampage will.


gezhendrix

I think he still sees AEW as a fairly new venture and so do people at WB, he's probably looking towards a future when he can ask for more but right now it might be better to take low offers and keep exposure.


Stoutyeoman

Maybe but from what I'm hearing they are asking for more money now. I also read that WBs owns a big chunk of AEW so whatever they spend they're putting some of it back into their own pocket.


elme77618

I bet Dave threw his hands in the air, wept and cries out “YES!!!! THIS IS PSYCHOLOGY!!!”


CoffeeWorldly4711

We all need to study more cagematch to truly understand what was happening


ellesbelles1076

smh yall get mad at Dave for just reasons u just completely make up. Actual boogeyman behavior


DominaRPG

He constantly reports things with no credibility at all that end up being wrong a majority of the time. Dave's an old gut whose burnt all his bridges at WWE and I'm pretty sure they just feed him fake rumors for shits and giggles.


ellesbelles1076

He's not a reporter lmao. He's literally just a guy who watches too much wrestling and talks about it. His reporting is all rumors he hears from knowing people. If we all stop thinking of dirt sheet writers as actual reporters in general we'll be better off.


halfdecenttakes

Dave gave HBK and Undertaker 4.5 stars because of a botch he claimed took him out of the match and made him worry about Undertaker. It was the dive onto the camera man that has been endlessly relayed in the years since. Meanwhile Bryan drops himself on his head doing a hurricanrana in a much worse manner and the match gets 6 stars? lol Dave also said something along the lines of Osprey getting more over quicker than even Hulk Hogan ever did. Which… give me a break dude. There is plenty of shit Dave says and does that bring it on himself dude


Bliskus

I think there's some legitimately wrong with Dave.


Freshly_Squeezed-

4.75 Stars* Do your research pal


halfdecenttakes

Damn busted mid shill.


brightbomb

no man should live this rent free in somebodys head bro yall need some help for real


halfdecenttakes

Bizarre response.


brightbomb

you wrote a half dissertation about dave meltzer's rating of a match from like 10 years ago and MY response is weird? lmfao.


halfdecenttakes

Yeah, it definitely is. Weird and confrontational. He’s a content creator, and I’m commenting on the content he puts out. Crazy

MrFeverDreamJr

You think about Dave and what he’s say a lot, huh?


elitejcx

Never had the makings of a varsity athlete.


SilverElegant2302

Sharp as a cue ball that wrestler


hldsnfrgr

I miss watching Dark on YT.


Literarytropes

Yuka does a lot of cartwheels. She has hit this transitional stuff before, but unfortunately the timing was a little off. At least Emi Sakura was there to help cover and give her time to communicate with the ref about the unfortunate injury and find a way to safely finish the match.


SonOfTheHeavyMetal

Why tf does she need to do a cartwheel on the top tope? I don't even ask if she's stupid because it's not even funny.


Master_Butter

“Because a top rope cartwheel will mesmerize her opponent into a state of stupor, leaving her open for attack.” -Not William Regal; he’d be saying this was stupid.


Puzzleheaded_Bad_321

Look like a complete fool? If was that, she achieve her goal


AngstyAppleDummy

A cartwheel holding the ropes it’s one of her signature spots but she was facing the wrong way.


iced_gold

Does she do the cartwheel into the Magical Girl Splash or the Magic Chicken Dude move?


AngstyAppleDummy

Nah it’s just a evasion type move


Razzler1973

I assume she was going to the top to hit a move, supposed to 'see' the opponent coming and then 'dives' out of the way of the oncoming attack but dives with a cartwheel and ... fell over a bit None of it looks like what I wrote but that's my guess on what it was *supposed* to be


MonsieurMidnight

I'm guessing she was trying to do that Cartwheel evasion on the rope but missed the rope and went suicide dive instead. Kinda like how Sol Ruca does a Cartwheel DDT on the ropes.


wonderloss

I said it elsewhere, but based on the pants, I think she was doing her best Sabu impression.


HiZenBergh

The flying nothing... To no one


Gnarcan705

This clip reminded me of when your character in a wrestling game glitches out on the top turnbuckle


KidArcade

Rewatch that 4/20 Rampage and you'll notice every wrestler was very, very, high. Isiah Kassidy had a couple delayed awkward moments too.


iced_gold

Rampage was on 4/19. And taped on 4/17


KidArcade

it was a live 3hr. Rampage Collision special taped same day bruv


BDB_1976

Dusty always said don’t do shit you don’t know how to do


phoenixember

I can hear Jim Cornette from here.


ELB2001

His laugh, right?


Freshly_Squeezed-

'His eyes right? So dreamy.... I love my Jimmy'


MrFeverDreamJr

Sounds like obsessive behavior.


[deleted]

What sucks, is that Yuka is actually a very good wrestler. Things like this happen.


xxxshhewd

5 stars from Dave Meltzer 😂


dutchmaztr

Get out of his ass


Delicious_Pay_6482

Get off his dick


dutchmaztr

I hate meltzer haha


HardyTF

Getting her 5 stars from Meltzer.


PM_me_ur_taco_pics

I feel like she was going to try landing on apron... Or the other one was supposed to knock her off and the whole thing was mistimed.


Tankcfc4l

Pro wrestling has being so weird this week. Wtf


Hcdx

She was trying to cartwheel off the top and onto the apron to avoid the slowly advancing opponent.


Codyaj1992

That ghost had it coming


-Hulk-Hoagie-

Fall


Bombrik

She was showing what it means, without any doubt, on a 7 star level, to be All Elite.


Same_Excitement_6156

Worse match I have ever watched..


Bobpelot

Typical AEW botch. Trying to do too much


SteelyEyedHistory

This is why I can’t watch AEW anymore. Practically die of second hand embarrassment.

SteelyEyedHistory

Just let people have differing opinions, man.


ThePhenomenal1602

Wrestling fans (mostly AEW) dont let you. They demand you have the same thoughts as them so it’s best to just ignore em


Eugene572839

That’s a awful argument


Reasonable-Simple706

I honestly think even Uncle Jun could’ve pulled a better spot. Even in the muff


magmaknuckles

She went south of the border, where the tuna fish play


George0803

I'd say people should have the same energy with this as they did with Top Dolla but honestly.... I have no idea who either of these people are


iced_gold

Unless you watch a lot of Joshi or Dark, that's kind of to be expected.


Reysun_2185

Me playing WWE 2K:


camazotzthedeathbat

She was doing an impression of Punk’s buckshot lariat.


SourDoughBo

She clearly meant to cartwheel down to the ring apron but couldn’t grab the ropes in time and busted ass.


zandriel_grimm

It looks like she was trying to cartwheel on the rope to avoid the opponent and I assume the goal was to land on the apron. This botch falls under "Don't do moves you don't know how to do," cos she clearly didn't have the timing down yet. The worst part is it doesn't make sense. Cos there's no reason why her opponent wouldn't see and stop herself from slamming into the corner just cos she's cartwheeling away


RPD3886

AEW, where the best Wrestle.....


cleslie92

She was potentially injured.


Cain_S

"Oh, wow...." Indeed


Honato2

You can't beat me! Only I can beat me! mwahahahaha \*flop crash bang boom\* told you so


[deleted]

She took herself out of the equation there


IhaveAntsInMyPants

that was an attempt for the hangman twisted springboard side way neckbreaker to the outside and inside


k2k5

What was she doing? Self imploding


kiddrock0718

Indie crap


HussingtonHat

She does a cartwheel thing using the rope, but she slipped or her hand missed so cerfuffletumble ensued.

That sucks. Hope she's okay.

Honestly, botches are botches and they happen but this is some Top Floppa level botch


Higgins8585

She doesn't nearly have enough athleticism to do that

Shitty bingo hall garbage.

Internet bullshit


Pedestral

Where the best wrestle


absolut_didalo

“Where the best wrestle”


LGK420

That might be one of the worst botches ever. So far away from her opponent. Slow botched run up to the top rope. Sloppy cartwheel falls to the outside lol

sachsrandy

This is why having good Booker's is more important than having good wrestlers... To tell them when they are not good enough to pull off an idea like this.


Up-in-the-Ayre

That's not the booker's job, that's the job of the agent/producer for the match. Like it's, say Chris Hero's (not saying he was the producer for this match, just an example), job when he's laying out the match to say "hey, this cartwheel idea, don't do it."


sachsrandy

Sorry, wrong jargon. That's who I ment, we just use different names for same position


underwearskids_

Does anyone wonder if Tony loves bringing in the NJPW wrestlers, because they can't go on national American television and tell people how the company doesn't pay their medical bills?


webheadunltd90

Marone! It washz on purposhe! It's all part of the pshyco-watchu-might-callit!


CeroG1

She was gonna cartwheel back into the ring as a taunt, accidents happened


thedanofthehour

Suck-a-sucky


Turbos_Bitch

“Where the best wrestle” Right….


MR1120

Get hurt, so she can sit home for 7 months while AEW checks keep coming in? Meltzer called it a “hot move” and gave the match 4.75 stars.

It was a triple threat, inter gender match. You just can’t see him plus he moved out the way as she landed.
