3 WWE Superstars who were punished for botches and 3 who weren't

#2 Perry Saturn punishes wrestler for botching a move

This one's an unusual case, as it wasn't WWE that punished the Superstar for his botch, but a fellow wrestler who took things into his own hands.

Mike Bell worked for WWE in the 90s, as well as early 2000s. He was mostly remembered for his infamous match against Perry Saturn on WWE Jakked on May 7, 2001.

During the contest, Bell botched a Snapmare Armdrag, and Saturn wasn't happy. He decided to teach a lesson to the wrestler and legitimately beat him up.

WWE put Perry Saturn in an embarrassing angle following the incident

A scary spot following the botch saw Saturn throwing Bell out of the ring and the latter landing on his head in a disturbing visual. The duo managed to finish the match somehow, with Saturn being punished by WWE management for taking liberties with Bell in the ring and not being professional. You can watch the entire incident in the video embedded above. Mike Bell didn't do much of note in WWE and would tragically pass away on December 14, 2008, due to a heart attack.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
