I've grown to hate the word "botch", because it just reeks of condescension and a certain kind of smugness.
As long as no one's getting hurt, and the wrestlers involved are good enough to know how to cover up and make it work, a "botch" is fine. It's supposed to be a real fight, supposed to be a struggle, so not everything is going to look smooth and crisp every time. One of the reasons I loved Sabu was that he was always able to make even the most elaborate spots look like a desperate act, and if anything it only added to it when they didn't always come off correctly.
