Do botch finishes end up telling a better story?

Now before you guys end up ripping my head open, listen. I fully believe this happens sometimes and that a particular botch in a match could end up telling way more of a story than if the wrestler hadn't botched it. For instance, there was a match between Strong and Joe that had happened three years ago at Glory by honor in which Strong was having trouble with hitting the Tiger Driver on Joe and just ended up hitting him with a butterfly suplex. I fully believe that this botch ended up telling a way better story than if he did hit it because it gave credibility to the move and showed how much Joe feared the move instead of having Joe kicking out of the move that killed his ass at Gut Check.

One botch that I think that can be turned into a great example of story telling is a damn near classic match in which I got to witness in Davey/KENTA II where the finish was supposed to be a Inverted GO-2-Sleep but ended up having to be a original one. I think a inverted GTS would of been awesome but I think the botch told one big story and could be even told more by the post match happenings. KENTA trying to kill his former protege with such a DANGEROUS fucking move but letting his emotion get the best of him and Davey respecting this. What I mean by Richards respecting this is because he actually followed with the code of honor and even treated KENTA with a higher respect than he has in awhile due to the fact KENTA could of murdered his ass but chose not too due to the partner ship they had. I think that would make KENTA/Richards II fucking perfect.

Point behind me ramble is that I believe a fuck up could end up telling something better than a perfected move. Anyone else feel the same or have any matches where they feel the match was elevated because of it?
