I think we've done this before, and the answer is Scott Norton

Honorary mention: The Great Khali

Couldn't find a good vid of just Norton's powerbomb.

I always loved Nash's powerbomb

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).

sid vicious worthy of an option?

Ok, some of those videos aren't really fair. Everything looks 10 times cooler when it's done to Rey Mysterio.

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.

Benoit had a sweet powerbomb.

Bradshaw did too

I remember this one. It still looks painful

Vader was the first name that popped into my mind

Probably not the best but still fucking awesome:

I think Sid Vicious deserves a spot on this poll. Especially when he was in the original ECW. He powerbombed the shit out of people.

:lol: there's a joke somewhere in there

I think the nod should have went to Awesome Kong instead of Batista because her's looks tons better than any of the ones Batista has done.

Jack Swagger.

I wanna touch his ass.

I'm going to go with Vader on this one.

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:

Anyone who votes for Craptista needs to have their wrestling fan card revoked. He does the wost looking powerbomb I've ever seen... until I saw that video of Kahli.

With the choices that were given I had to go for The Undertaker, but the lack of Sid is just kinda shitty.

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.

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.

I always loved Razor's Edge/Outsider's Edge.

Tough choice, but Nash is gonna squeak by Awesome for me.

i'll always love the razors edge

Same here. Vader was pretty short and his powerbomb looked bad ass.

A japanese guy most likely. They don't have bones in their heads oor necks, so they just slam eachother down as hard as possible.

I love Benoit's power bomb. <3

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 love how nobody voted for Batista. And I'm glad that Kevin Nash is being recognized as one of the best. :)

I will say that Nash did an excellent job of protecting the wrestler during that "stumble bomb". He almost killed Big Show back in WCW.

Kevin Nash has the laziest powerbomb of all time. Some of you are silly.

Where's Sid? He is the MASTER of the powerbomb.

Voted Batista strictly because nobody else had and the muppet comments aimed at his version

I mean, what?

It's official for me, now.

First Norton, then Steve Williams.

I don't think Batista's is that bad at all. It is unique looking. I liked the thumbs down and the roll out.

This thread doesn't exist. :mad:

Nash easily, should have placed the one he did on Mysterio back in the WCW days, it was so brutal.
Ditto that Vader definately should have been an option.

I voted for Nash b/c he was my second choice. Since my first was Sid and he was not mentioned.

I always thought the Razor's Edge looked pretty badass.

Batista's is by no means the worst, but it's by no means the best either.

Jushin Lyger ftw.

Hi Supreme!

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.

I have an urge to do hurtful things to Fignuts.
