Guest joshicho Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 I must be the only person in the world that actually thinks that Kevin Nash's powerbomb is good. I mean, I know it looks sloppy and all but I just think it's cool how the oppenents landing is from such a high height. Plus it sets him apart from the other wrestlers who do powerbombs like Taker and Kane (though Kane doesn't use it as much now as he did 6 months ago)
Guest Choken One Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 It's two inches higher and besides, Taker lifts them up about 4 feet higher almost and thus has moe "Air"...However, when Nash does it right...it looks SICK!
Guest joshicho Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Good point but I meant that the reciever is kinda in free fall for longer wheras Taker keeps hold of them for longer.
Guest Choken One Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 True, Taker does drive them into the mat and Nash just tosses them in the air.
Guest oldschoolhero Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Nash's powerbomb is more of a powerdrop, if you get my drift. He just hoists them up and lets 'em go. Pretty fucking cool. But what's with ignoring the Jacknife monicker? I haven't it called that once yet on WWF TV...
Guest Big Poppa Smurf Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 I like Nash's version because of the release whereas the 'Taker version sucks because he lays the man down on the mat and its obvious that he's trying really hard not to risk hurting the guy.
Guest Tony149 Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 The WWF should just call Nash's finisher "The Jackknife". Don't use "Powerbomb", although it is a version of one.
Guest Jimmy Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Yeah I think it's pretty awsome but at Wrestlemania 11 he totally screwed it up.
Guest Dace59 Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 They problem I have with the jacknife (the only gimmick name to be a real technical term I think) is it looks like any Jr. Heavweight worth their salt could flip out of the drop and land on their feet. I'll still like stiffer powerbombs like Awesome's or Kawada's anyday.
Guest Choken One Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Mysterio did that once but took a boot and lost anyways...so moot point anyways.
Guest J*ingus Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Nash's "powerbomb" is so sloppy that I'm amazed he's never killed anyone with it. Plus, he barely seems strong enough to do it to anybody now, did you see how he stumbled after giving it to Rock last monday?
Guest Dace59 Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 I doubt he'll kill anyone, it may be sloppy, but there's no force in to, so do danger, and the opp. has long enough to curl up, or get into a possistion to take it safely. It's not as if he's trying a Super Lyger Bomb or something.
Guest Flyboy Posted February 25, 2002 Report Posted February 25, 2002 I was always a fan of it, although it does look sloppy. Nash does it lazily (I think he does that on purpose), but depending on how the bump is taken it can really make it look good or sucky.
