The thing is a lot of his botches are due to others not him.
His first match the botched entrance was because the trampoline was in the wrong place.
The botch with Primo on the top rope was because Primo slipped, Sin Cara did well I felt to sell it as a counter.
The Over the limit botches against Chavo were mostly due to Chavo. The La Mistica botch for instance was entirely Chavo's fault.
Honestly though, he's wrestling in a completely different style, in a mask that gives him a fraction of the visibility he had in his old one. It's no wonder he's taken a while to settle in.
WWE messed up big style by not throwing him in FCW for a while to learn the WWE style. He's also not helped by the fact that the majority of the WWE roster is green as hell and shouldn't really be on TV either. His match against Christian showed how well he could do against a more experienced guy.
But then I still can't blame them letting him go, because at this point he's a lesser version of Rey Mysterio, if they didn't have Rey I'd keep him for the kids, but they have Rey, so, they don't really need him, especially as his style is one that leads to botches due to people not being trained in a luchador style so really can't handle matches with him.
