Botches Of The Week (March 29, 2020)

1. Call It (louder) & Call It (LOUDER)

One of the major negatives of the empty arena situation we find ourselves in is the amount of Tech Director instructions making it to air, most notable during the closing minutes of this week’s Smackdown.

2. Sunshine On My Shoulders

To get ready for their tag match, Drew Gulak & Daniel Bryan combined their collective strength for some hefty warm-up exercises.

Some people seemed impressed by the rare sight of shoulder-bumping, but someone who wasn’t feeling the love was Yuji Nagata, who expressed his disappointment by quote-tweeting “It’s not really good (laughs)!!”

Bryan didn’t know the Japanese for “I’m about a month away from retirement, leave me alone” so he apologised instead.

Sorry Nagata-San! We’ll do better next time! #GetBetterEveryDay #CoachGulak #BryanGulakConnection https://t.co/e1pCONdnwa

3. Alexander The Great Headache

The make-shift team of Andrade & Angel Garza took on the just-as-thrown-together-if-we’re-being-honest team of Cedric Alexander & Ricochet for a…Raw Tag Title shot at Wrestlemania? Ehhh I’ll be nice considering there’s a global crisis going on but don’t let that stop you getting distracted from the match finish.

Cedric took The Charlotte Effect elbow that knocked him harder than expected and he was physically unable to kick out, confusing the ref who presumably was anticipating a kick-out.

Cedric took to twitter to confirm that he was indeed hit by an elbow.
