Both, botches and injuries usually went hand-in-hand.

The one I always remember is him jumping to the outside against Del Rio, and calling the match off because he strained his finger, to which Del Rio just booted him in the face.

I want to say this happened a few weeks before someone else worked through a match long injury (maybe Zayn's shoulder injury against Cena?)

Ah yes, the bizarre thing where people lambast him for trying to take care of his own health. So many wrestlers gently caress themselves up trying to finish mediocre matches, I see nothing wrong with Sin Cara trying to not have to wrestle 5 more minutes with possibly a broken finger.

The macho nature of wrestling gets stupid pretty often IMO. See also Daniel Bryan being on the verge of fighting HHH because they called off a match because he got concussed.

Tonight's a good reminder that WWE scripted Paige to bury Reid Flair in a promo to "get heat," and two weeks later turned her face.

While it was absolutely awful to do this, and awful to not speak to the parents beforehand, but it's also just so indicative of modern WWE's lovely storytelling.

Nobody knew what the gently caress Paige even meant, especially in storyline. Not every fan in a super smart fan, please only do things that make sense in established kayfabe.
