Top 5 Powerbomb Users in WWE and WCW History

The powerbomb is a fairly common move with big impact, but in the right hands it becomes legendary. These 5 wrestlers showed what it means to use the powerbomb, and showed the next generations of fighters how to use it like masters…

#5 The Undertaker

Uses the devastating Last Ride

The Undertaker's "Last Ride" powerbomb was a phenomenal finisher, perfectly combining power with the Undertaker's unique gimmick. Unlike a traditional powerbomb, the elevated hold before the slam added an extra layer of BIG impact, making it feel like a great to a match. This move, while visually devastating, also showcased the Undertaker's strength and control, making it an exciting end to countless rivalries. He mostly used this when he used his motorcycle character, so changing his finisher was a great choice.

#4 Vader

The Vader Bomb was CRIPPLING

Vader was a great wrestler in WCW during the 1990s, and he had a VERY physical style. The powerbomb fit Vader perfectly, and boy, his form for the move made it hard to watch. Vader grab you differently, wrap his arms around the waist, and then he would HURDLE you to the canvas (sometimes the concrete!). Vader had a hard hitting style and his powerbomb was his most powerful move.

#3 Batista

His Sit-Out Powerbomb was great

One of the most satisfying-looking finishers ever, Batista’s, Batista Bomb. Wrestlers that have took this move, said it was painful, but the look for viewers must be worth it. He was also one of the first to use the sit-out Powerbomb for a finisher. It’s awesome power and coolness cemented Batista as a top tier star and his finisher also led him to break Triple H’s Reign Of Terror.

#2 Sid Visious

His last name said it all

Sid is one of the best powerbombed users EVER. He would add a sense of VICIOUSNESS to every powerbomb he did. Just look at a gif of his powerbomb and you will find out! His giant structure made the powerbomb fit him perfectly, he once even Power-bombed Shawn Micheals 3 times at WrestleMania 11. Sid made his way to the WWE Championship, because of his awesome finisher.

#1 Kevin Nash

Kevin Nash easily has the best Powerbomb of all time. He used the famous, Jackknife Powerbomb, that was dangerous, but looked awesome. There were times when he botched the move, like when he almost paralyzed The Big Show, but overall, the move’s aura overshadowed it all. It looked painful, it had big impact, and when Kevin picked up the 1-2-3 win, it felt deserved.
