Mike Awesome for sure.
I remember all those crazy ass power bombs he use to give on the last days of ECW. Kevin Nash second.

Tough choice between Nash's cool looking Jacknife and Awesome's devastating Awesome Bomb. I give it to Awesome since he had multiple variants of it (top rope, toss to outside, toss to turnbuckle, and regular power bomb).

I cant find the video but Nashs powerbomb on Lodi was his best, it was the one used for wcw/nwo revenge

But Powerbombs are Awesome.

Nash has a terrible powerbomb.
Batista can't even do his finishing move properly.

If we go just by those videos I'd say Mike Awesome.

Innovator is right. Norton wins.

Je....sus..christ. Is there anything that he can do properly? Aside from being consistantly awful in the ring? A powerbomb is a pretty standard move for any wrestler, kids recording themselves on youtube can do it and yet.....:rofl:


For a "big man" he definatley seems to be lacking any signs of strength that usually accompany the size.




Anyway my vote would have to go to vader who conspiciously enough is absent from the poll. :foc:

Kevin Nash's were cool because of his size, but my vote goes to Mike Awesome, because his were more innovative and fun really.

Also, that video Supreme posted is simply amazing.

Vastardikai
10-17-2009, 12:18 PM
If Vader was mentioned, it would have been him all the way.

I ran with Dr. Death, because that was a good looking powerbomb on the biggest guy getting powerbombed in the thread: Stan Hansen.

Also, Swagger's finish is a Doctor Bomb and as sweet as it is, it's not as good as Steve Williams' version.

Yea. This brings to mind alot of AJPW matches from the late 80s and early 90s. They weren't always the most visually impressive until you factor in te stiffness of the move and how hard the canvas was.

I am surprised that no one is making mention of Brock Lesnar's powerbombs when he first came up to the main WWE roster in 2002 and he powerbombed the fuck out of Jeff Hardy and Al Snow on a trash can, or he would hoist them up, run around in circles to gain momentum, and then slam them down, that was bad ass.
