I didn't blame anyone, it just looked like a mess on TV.

The ref wasn't at fault there, Natalya released the hold too early, looked like she fell forward a bit, and AJ tapped after the hold was released. Ref did the best he could in an awkward situation caused by others.

In saying that I don't think he needed to comment, should have realised that you don't bother replying to idiots on social media.

Still think the botch is hardly a story, it was a divas match that no one cared about and there's been worse. It was just awkward and would have been forgotten about, but the ref shouldn't have said anything. Hope he gets fired for the comments, probably wouldn't have been for the botch.

I didn't see the botch live. Rewatching it on the video posted it was bad all around. I would equally share the blame.

You are right, he shouldn't have said anything and everyone would have forgotten about the incident by the end of the show. Was there much of a reaction in the live thread when it happened?

No idea because I didn't watch Raw live, but it was pretty noticeable. I think mainly was because the announcers were more confused than us on how to cover it up so it ended up seeming worse.

Bit more than was necessary so yes it was caught.

Everyone's at fault. I don't understand why Natalya released the hold before the bell rang. I don't understand why AJ tapped after the pressure had been released. I don't understand why the referee thought the best course of action was to pretend it never happened. But most of all I don't understand why anyone cares when 97% of the Raw viewership were either pissing, making a sandwich or masturbating at the time.

Terrible match all round. From the booking of AJ tapping days before a PPV match vs a different opponent, to Big E getting handled by a jobber, them losing to a random, jobber intergender tag team before the PPV. WWE's blueberry booking was just capped off by a botch.

Seriously who the hell books this shit? Meant to be building to a PPV match so they have them lose to jobbers. WWE logic, sometimes I wonder how they're still in business.

cause Khali was in the ring when it occured?

Don't let facts get in the way of a good argument lol.

Alls well, my only hope is JBL keeps bringing this up when that ref is in the ring one more week.
