00:00Everybody wants to win a match, but in pro wrestling, you can't always win a match.
00:05But sometimes accidents, they happen just like that, and then the wrong wrestler can
00:10win a match.
00:11A square with-
00:12Okay, enough of that.
00:13God, isn't live entertainment fun?
00:14Just about anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and in pro wrestling, sometimes
00:18that includes the wrong person winning an entire match.
00:21Whoopsie.
00:22See, professional wrestling referees, in order to avoid bum-clenchingly awful moments like,
00:27say, Earl Hebner stopping his own count at No Way Out 2001 because he forgot it was the
00:30finish-
00:31Oh no, it's so awful-
00:32Referees are instructed to call the match like it's a shoot, meaning if a wrestler
00:35forgets to kick out or something else goes wrong, tough turds, cowboy, you done just
00:39lost yourself a wrasslin' match.
00:41And honestly, somehow it's happened more often than you'd think.
00:45Here are 10 wrestlers who accidentally won wrestling matches.
00:4810.
00:49Emma
00:50The main event of a pre-show isn't the worst place in the world to screw up, unless it's
00:52the pre-show to the first time your promotion is played in an arena and also that pre-show
00:55is being filmed to air the week after the biggest show your promotion's ever done.
00:58Then it's a bit of a whoopsie.
00:59In a fatal four-way match, I saw Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair vs Dana Brooke vs Emma.
01:04I think it's fairly safe to say that, you know, considering Emma wasn't about to appear
01:07at her first ever SummerSlam, she might not have been supposed to win.
01:11But that's exactly what happened.
01:12The master of the weird Kung Fu Crab Dance hit the Emmermite Sandwich on Becky Lynch
01:16in the corner, pulled her in for a cover, one, two, three, Becky just straight forgot
01:22to kick out, leading to a confused Emma going, uh, yay?
01:26Commentary saying, wow, Emma's new team with Dana Brooke must be really paying off, huh?
01:32And a thunderous look from Charlotte, who was probably supposed to go over cause she's
01:37Charlotte.
01:38Everyone scrambles to perform a quick closing double submission spot to put the faces over.
01:42Team PCB, they said to each other as they walked up the ramp, tensely.
01:469.
01:47Matt Hardy
01:48You know what move never wins a match?
01:49A f***ing side effect.
01:51Matt Hardy could hit that move off the Empire State Building onto a bed of spikes and his
01:55opponent would still kick out at two.
01:57Well, all except for one fateful night in August 2008 on an episode of ECW, when Matt
02:01Hardy and ECW Champion Mark Henry were teaming up to take on Miz and Morrison in a can the
02:06champion and challenger co-exist sort of deal that WWE will not stop booking.
02:11Well, turns out, yes, they can.
02:14No issues at all.
02:15When Hardy hits a top rope side effect to Morrison, covered him, and Jomo kicked out
02:19a fraction after the referee's hand hit the mat for a three.
02:22First of all, look at the f***ing mohawk Miz was rocking during that match.
02:26Great googly moogly.
02:27Second, God bless Mark Henry's little face.
02:30Just standing on the apron, flabbergasted that the match is already over as the ref
02:34rushes to tell everyone a closing spot to make this 5 minute main event suddenly make
02:38sense.
02:398.
02:40Dana Brooke
02:41Bayley debuted on the main roster the night after SummerSlam 2016, so I'm going to take
02:44a giant stab in the dark that Dana Brooke wasn't supposed to beat her clean as a whistle at
02:48a random match on a random episode of Raw two months later.
02:52Whoopsie poopsie.
02:53Dana throws Bayley into the ring post, drags her back into the ring and goes to cover her.
02:57Apparently, what happens next is that Dana should have held down circle to perform a
03:00dirty pin, with her feet all up in the rope so the ref would break the count.
03:04However, she's too far away, can't reach the ropes, and instead the ref just counts
03:08the three.
03:09Dana stays covering Bayley for a little bit, presumably to apologize profusely, and then
03:13celebrates her win with a total oh no I done f***ed up look in her eyes.
03:177.
03:19Daniel Bryan
03:20A match that has since become a bit famous for A. being the worst match that Cody Rhodes
03:23was ever a part of, and B. the phrase, that referee tried to f*** on me, which is now
03:27in Rebster's Wrestling Dictionary where it belongs.
03:30On a random Smackdown in June 2011, Rhodes teamed up with Wade Barrett and Ted DiBiase
03:34Jr to take on Ezekiel Jackson, Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan.
03:37Apparently the point of the match was to get over Jackson's strength and power with a
03:40wild memorable hot tag, which makes it funnier that he only got 30 seconds in the ring right
03:45at the start, and never got to be tagged back in the match.
03:48Where Daniel Bryan hit his running dropkick on DiBiase in the corner covered him 1-2-3,
03:52with Ted Jr kicking out too late before storming backstage, claiming the referee was trying
03:57to f*** on him.
03:58So in case anyone was unclear what a ref f***ing on someone looks like, I guess this.
04:03This is.
04:046.
04:05Caitlyn
04:06As we move up the list, the screw ups are becoming gently more severe.
04:08In this case, Caitlyn accidentally becoming number one contender to the Divas title, which
04:12she definitely wasn't supposed to be.
04:14In August 2012, a battle royal was held to determine who'd wrestle Layla for her awful
04:18butterfly belt, with the final two being Caitlyn and Eve.
04:21Eve was supposed to win.
04:22Instead, Caitlyn used the power of incredibly dark roots under dyed blonde hair, which is
04:26a superpower we both share, clotheslining Eve over the top rope with the plan being
04:30that she would land on the apron.
04:31That did not happen.
04:33Look at Caitlyn.
04:34That is not the reaction of someone who just won a title shot.
04:36Even funnier, look at Layla.
04:38Siri, what's the opposite of a poker face?
04:40Well that was a shocker, said Michael Cole.
04:43It sure was.
04:455.
04:46Too Cool
04:47What's better than a bulls up on live TV?
04:48Why, a bulls up on PPV, of course.
04:50Judgment Day 2000, that's the PPV with Chopper Mark returning during the Iron Man and immediately
04:55screwing over The Rock with a DQ loss.
04:57Great memories.
04:58But the opening match didn't end much better, with Too Cool, Rikishi, Scottie2Hotty and
05:01Grandmaster Sexe taking on Team ECK, Edge, Christian, Kerr, Angle.
05:07The ending of the match sees Edge cover Rikishi before Mr. Sexe hits him with the hip hop
05:12drop.
05:13Rikishi rolls into the pin, which Kerr Angle was supposed to break up, but evidently he
05:16was still discombobulated from having Rikishi's entire asshole rubbed into his face earlier
05:20as he arrives just a fraction too late, and the three is counted.
05:24The crowd are happy, but no music plays for a noticeably long time.
05:27JR says, uh, we got winners, Scottie climbs into the ring looking utterly perplexed, and
05:32despite winning the whole match and getting the pin, Rikishi looks royally pissed about
05:37it.
05:38Still, nothing a quick dance can't fix.
05:394.
05:40Billy Kidman
05:41Oh man, this is funny, but it's also sad, but it's also really funny.
05:45So it sold out 2000, the first pay-per-view of easily the worst year in WCW's wacky
05:50existence.
05:51Billy Kidman was scheduled to wrestle not once, not twice, but thrice.
05:53His first match of the night, and indeed the first match on the card, was Kidman vs Dean
05:57Milenko in a catch-as-catch-can style match, the rules of which were, you must win by pinfall
06:01or submission, and if you leave the ring and your feet touch the floor, you're disqualified.
06:06Well, either no one told Milenko that last part, or he forgot, because two minutes into
06:10the match, he rolls out of the ring, the announcers immediately say, well, I mean, the match is
06:14over, then the ref tells Dean to get back in the ring so the match can continue, but
06:19when he does, then the bell rings, and the ref says, oh, I guess Dean's disqualified
06:24then.
06:25Sorry, Dean.
06:26And then Dean gets really angry about it.
06:28Weird, confusing nonsense, and considering WCW in 2000, there's like a 35% chance that
06:33was the actual booking.
06:34You know what makes it really sad, though?
06:36That was Dean Milenko's last match in WCW.
06:39Leave the memories alone.
06:403.
06:41Chris Benoit
06:42Stu and Helen Hart had a whole bunch of kids, 12 to be exact, which is a lot of kids.
06:47Some were very famous indeed, like Brett and Owen, some were very funny indeed, like Bruce
06:52Hart, look at Bruce Hart, and some we don't really mention all that much, like Dean Hart,
06:56who actually died tragically in 1990 of a heart attack at only 36, but Dean is relevant
07:00to this story, which is all about the time that Chris Benoit accidentally won a championship
07:04in Stampede Wrestling.
07:05It was 1988, and Benoit was wrestling Johnny Smith for the Stampede British Commonwealth
07:10Mid-Heavyweight Championship, f***ing hell, Stampede, whack a few more words in there,
07:14the title of the belt's not catchy enough.
07:16The finish of the match was that Smith's manager, The Weasel, was trying to pass brass
07:19knuckles to Johnny, when Benoit would intercept them and hit Johnny instead.
07:23Then he'd pin Saint, but he'd be DQ'd afterwards so the title wouldn't change
07:27hands, classic Dusty finish.
07:28Except nobody told Dean Hart, who was subbing in as referee, at the last minute.
07:33He didn't see the knucks, and just straight up awarded the win and the title to Benoit
07:38without the DQ.
07:392.
07:40Mickie James
07:41Melina has had a number of accolades in her wrestling career, multi-time women's champ,
07:45multi-time divas champ, and of course, she's a one-time QuizzleMania champion, which we
07:49can all agree is the most important of the three.
07:50But did you know that Melina once lost the WWE Women's Championship to Mickie James
07:54at a house show in Paris in 2008, by mistake?
07:58There's actually footage that exists online, it's a triple threat match between Melina,
08:01Mickie, and Victoria.
08:02Mickie hits Victoria with a Hurricanrana before going in for the cover, and maybe Victoria
08:06thought Melina was going to interrupt the count, or maybe she fell asleep.
08:09Either way, her shoulders stayed down for the three, crowning Mickie as the new champ,
08:13whoops.
08:14Thankfully, Jonathan Coachman was there, which is a sentence I never thought I'd say, who
08:17immediately created a one-on-one rematch between Melina and Mickie, with Melina winning the
08:21title back.
08:221.
08:23Hardcore Holly
08:24And by far the most famous example, not only did the wrong man win a match, not only did
08:28a title change hands when it shouldn't have, but it happened at f***ing Wrestlemania, the
08:33biggest show of the year.
08:34What was it with people accidentally winning matches in 2000, this is the third match on
08:38the list from that cursed year.
08:39So, a Mania 2000 to Bad Mania, WWE held the Hardcore Battle Royal, which wasn't a battle
08:44royal, it was a championship scramble, but never mind.
08:47The match would last exactly 15 minutes, whomever's champ when the time runs out keeps the belt,
08:51and they monumentally boned the finish.
08:53Crash was in the Taz mission when Hardcore Holly brained him with a Sweetie Jar and went
08:57for the cover.
08:58What was supposed to happen was that the ref would count 1, 2, the time would expire,
09:02and Crash would stay champion.
09:04What actually happened was Tim White started counting too early, meaning that over a second
09:08was left on the timer when he stopped himself counting the 3.
09:12Confusion ruled, JR said Crash kicked out when he definitely didn't, Crash went and
09:16grabbed the belt in order to leave with it, but then Fink announced that Hardcore Holly
09:21was the winner, and it's just so awkward, I can't stand it, I can't stands no more.
09:26And that's our list.
