I'm not saying it was or wasn't a botch, I'm just saying that it ended up being a legit hold. I also think Cole and Coach covered for it very well whether or not it was a botch or not. It did look like Taker had his shin across V's throat and was pulling down on the head to really clinch in the choke. Again, whether it was meant to be like that or not, I don't know
Also, keep in mind that the picture I posted is a gogoplata done from rubber guard by someone with extensive training. Whatever Taker ended up doing, it wasn't from a rubber guard and I doubt how extensive his training was.
If anything, I consider it a botch that turned into something practical, that the announcers could cover for and that actually worked out well, considering V still went through with bleeding from the mouth (via capsule I assume).
