10 Wrestling Moves Wrestlers Refused To Take

10. Bob Backlund - Jackknife Powerbomb

Who can forget the moment Kevin Nash finally reached the top of the mountain back in 1994 inside of a white-hot Madison Square Garden? Certainly not Bob Backlund...

The story goes that before unceremoniously having his reign cut short on the night, the WWF Champion was less than impressed by the execution of Diesel's chosen finisher at the 26 November event. Having been let go a little too early for his liking, Backlund went crashing to the notoriously stiff mat with a thud and reportedly hurt his tailbone in the process.

Bruce Prichard would later reveal on his 'Something to Wrestle With' podcast that the now-former champ stormed backstage post-defeat and declared that he would never take the Jackknife "ever again" after his painful landing.

Perhaps he was simply smarting from losing the belt in a deflating 8 seconds, or maybe he had a point about the move being classed as a rather dangerous one to effectively execute on a nightly basis. Either way, Backlund stayed well clear of Big Sexy's Jackknife going forward.
