Seven life-threatening WWE botches

Professional wrestling is a dangerous and hard job. The amount of excruciating pain the wrestlers have to go through is unreal. Although many people belittle professional wrestling as "fake", it is far from the truth. There is nothing fake in the pain and sufferings endured by the wrestlers.

The art of professional wrestling requires extensive coordination between the wrestlers involved. In WWE, most of the spots are pre-planned. But it is tough to remember all the spots by heart and replicate it in the ring. Hence, it is natural that wrestlers might get the move wrong occasionally.

Botching is common in wrestling, and even the most acclaimed wrestlers had some bad botches. However, some of those botches were horrendous and caused life-threatening injuries. In this list, we will be taking a look at some of those botches.
