But of all the Release Powerbombs that weve seen in the WWE, it was Diesels version that will go down as the most famous. Commonly referred to as the Jackknife, this name is actually incorrect. The Jackknife variation is a Powerbomb is one which ends with a bridging pinDiesels, of course, did not include this. But nonetheless, the fact that he almost managed to rename the move shows the extent to which he popularised the manoeuvre. Again, the move raises questions amongst critics for its supposed lack of impact, but Diesel more than made up for that with the smoothness of his technique. From the moment hed heave his adversary up to the second he dropped them back down, it all appeared to flow in one continuous movementa fine touch of finesse from such a bruising performer. Furthermore, Diesel was able to pull off the move on a number of bigger guys. Granted it happened in WCW, but he even managed to powerbomb the Big Showa feat that very few others could claim to have achieved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp2HNP7FFyc
