Just wanted to share the story of this situation.
Dolph Ziggler was reportedly livid with Sin Cara following Sunday’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Heavyweight Championship Contract at Money in the Bank.
According to SuperLuchas.net, a source within WWE says Ziggler vocally complained backstage over the SmackDown Superstar working stiffly and failing to protect him during a high risk maneuver off the top turnbuckle known as The Spanish Fly.
The errant spot nearly injured Ziggler, not to mention spurred a dubious Twitter trending topic—”Botch Cara.”
According to the source, Ziggler plans to file a formal complaint to WWE officers over Sin Cara so they can review the case further and decide whether the the high-flying grappler faces punishment.
In Sin Cara’s defense, footage indicates that Ziggler caused the spot to fail by slipping twice on the rope. Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer stated Friday, “Ziggler slipped halfway through the move when Sin Cara’s back was already bent far enough he could do nothing but fall. It’s only Sin Cara’s fault if he had ESP and would have known Ziggler was about to slip.”

For once there's no need to bash Sin Cara, The IWC will bash him anytime they get too. It was clearly Dolph's fault and they still surprisingly pulled off the move safely.

I think the real complaint is what u don't see in the video. Right after the botch.....Sin Cara (likely mad from again looking stupid) straight kicks Ziggler. Not a pro wrestling kick either

Yeah Dolph screwed that up. He not only slipped he slipped twice and cara was bent too far back to do anything but fall. As for the kick after the fall, I'd say Sin did out of anger like another poster said. Either way Ziggler is wrong no matter what he does/say.

Sin Cara went for it before Ziggler was even set! Ziggler had to hurry up to get ready for the movie which caused him to slip. Totally Sin Cara's fault.

Yeah, this is the one case where Cara isn't to blame. Either way, Cara still seems to have trouble adapting to the WWE style and sooner or later someone will get hurt as a result.

You can see clear as day that Cara could have leaned forward to allow Ziggler to get adjusted. Not Ziggler's fault at all.

Sin Cara blows, Ziggler is awesome. That's pretty much my stance.

That probably explains why he wasn't on Smackdown.

Dolph looked like he was ready for a super-plex, but thing is Sin Cara to my knowledge has never done that spot. Dolph looks like he realized this mid way through the fall and tried to complete the spot to best of his abilities.
Probably if Cara had better knowledge of the english language he coulda communicated the move to him better, but it's mostly Dolph's fault for not recognizing or even remembering that Cara was going for a move he does/did as a finisher for the first part of his career, and slipping on the top rope. (Someone really needs to make those turnbuckles more stable for those Sin Cara spots)
