Botched Spot

Botched Spot is a Professional Wrestling Web Comic created by James Hornsby in 2008 and updated three times a week. At first, it followed the exploits of two small-time professional wrestlers: a young up-and-comer by the name of Rad Bad DeBone and a cynical old-school wrestler called Olav Orlav. The comic has since moved away from the two stars and their supporting cast in favor of parodying real life wrestling news and television angles seen in the WWE and TNA. However, a spin-off comic titled "Over Like Olav" featuring the original characters has been given its own section of the site, with longer strips but more time between updates too.

A lot of the comic's humor comes from Affectionately Parodying the wrestling business, the types of people who work in it and the people who watch it (or the stereotypical versions, at least). It's likely that there are some in-jokes only wrestling fans will get but Botched Spot is reasonably accessable for everyone, particularly the Olav/Rad Bad plotlines.

Botched Spot provides examples of:
"Droopi: So do you have eyeballs or just little 'L's or what? Olav: THAT'S IT!"
 * Affectionate Parody
 * Art Evolution: Naturally.
 * Ascended Fanboy: Rad Bad. Jerry too, whose mom bought an indy wrestling promotion just so he could live out his fantasies.
 * Captain Ersatz: Olav is most likely based on Nikolai Volkoff, who also had a gimmick as a Soviet character.
 * Cheap Heat: Olav makes a habit of insulting local sports teams to get a reaction.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Usually Olav.
 * Eyes Always Shut: Olav. It was eventually lampshaded by The Great Droopi in "Olav's Title History".

"Olav: Yes, the Great Droopi! The Shawn Michaels to my Bret Hart! The Andy Kaufman to my women of Tennessee!"
 * Filler Strips: "Li'l Botched", featuring child versions of Olav and Rad Bad and an Incredibly Lame Pun in each one.
 * Foreign Wrestling Heel: Olav has been playing a Soviet Union character for a long time. He's not the only one: his former tag-team partner, Adala Von Wyn, had a Nazi Gimmick.
 * Series Hiatus: From January 2nd to July 13th 2011. James Hornsby got back into the thrice-weekly schedule amazingly quickly.
 * Smart Mark: Russell.
 * The Rival: The Great Droopi in "Olav's Title History".
