New Japan boys don’t botch often, but when they do, it’s glorious

1. The fact that it involves Yoshi-Hashi is just a chef’s kiss.

2. A fun spot, unintentional or not

3. Let’s say MOST New Japan boys don’t botch often

   … and then there’s Yoshi-Hashi

4. Yoshi Hashi pre-six man tag with Ishii and Goto was an absolute shambles.

5. Hearing the crowd laugh at Mr. Loose Explosion makes this perfect.

6. That’s one way to reverse a powerbomb

7. It’s dope because the story would be he was to heavy to power bomb

8. There’s also the time at the 2018 Destruction in Kobe event where Yoshi Hashi tripped and hit the edge of the ring, causing him to bleed like hell, when he was trying to save Okada from Jay White and Gedo (NJPW edited the spot shortly after).

9. saw it live

10. of course its yoshi

11. That’s how the ‘05 Royal Rumble SHOULD have ended

12. If Evil doesn’t sell, they could actually play it as a planned offensive from his part

13. YH is too strong for his own good

14. That’s a lot of balls in his face.

15. That actually looked clean

16. Honestly the botch was cooler than the move

17. Cena and Batista thought this was executed perfectly

18. Yoshi never fails to deliver. God, I wish I was Okadas best friend

19. Can’t wait to see someone recreate this but on purpose on the Indy’s this weekend

20. I’ve seen a few botched powerbombs, but nothing quite like this one!

21. Rumble 05 lookin ass

22. That actually looked pretty smooth tbh

23. I’m dying of laughter, go big or go home 😂

24. Another more awe-inspiring botch is on his way to retirement 280 somethin lb Manabu Nakanishi deciding “Fuck it” and hitting a Tope on Yoshi in the New Japan Cup, and barely clearing the top rope.

25. Actually turned into a pretty cool spot.

26. Had to watch it twice because I had an itch in my eye and missed what happened the first time, holy shit. 😂

27. That still looked cool ngl

28. That was beautiful and njpw has botches, but they often make the most of them. It is less about botching and more about making people ask if something was a botch to begin with.

29. Does anyone have any links to some old New Japan botches. (Pre 2012) I’ve seen the Great Sasuke botch where he fucks up a springboard then flash pins Liger, but that’s about it.
