A ‘Botch’ in wrestling terminology is when a wrestler makes a mistake either while in the ring performing a move or while delivering a promo. Naturally in-ring botches are dangerous as they can not only harm the wrestler doing the botch and have them suffer a serious injury but also the wrestler or wrestlers near him/her. So botches are easily recovered from where as other have landed wrestlers in the hospital. Here are the Top 5 botches at Wrestlemania:

#5 Hulk Hogan Forgets Where He Is at Wrestlemania 30

Imagine the opening to a Wrestlemania event having Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan all in the same ring at the same time. Three legends of the business sharing the same place and one of them can’t remember where he is.

To be honest Hogan is old, and on a stage like that you might forget you’re at the Superdome and not Silver Dome.

There are many finishing moves in the WWE that are protected. When a move is protected that means it’s the final blow. Once that is hit there is no kicking out of it.

One such move was Hogan’s Leg Drop. No one had kicked out till his match against Sid at Wrestlemania 8. It was planned that Hogan would drop his leg and Papa Shango would come out to break the pin fall. But Papa Shango missed his cue and Sid just had to kick out.
