10 Wrestlers Who Are The Best At Precisely ONE Move
8. Powerbomb
Wardlow's powerbomb is an honourable mention.
He executes the move wonderfully, and his powerbomb is all the more impressive when you consider that, recently, he has taken to flattening his squashed opponents over and over again in rapid-fire. What was once the Powerbomb Symphony feels more like the Powerbomb Blast Beats these days, and with less margin for error, Wardlow stills drop them with a terrific horizontal line that at once looks awesome but it is done very safely.
Good as it is, or they are, it's still not as good as the Undertaker's Last Ride. It was incredible, a broken elevator to hell put over by 'Taker's inspired idea to hoist his opponents high in the air before the impact. Dread-inducing pageantry, thudding execution, the fact that 'Taker was as massive as the fall: tremendous stuff.
On a technical lever, it doesn't get better - but Mike Awesome, whose technique was also superb, generated unparalleled ghoulish vibes with his intense meathead energy and giddily ultra-violent variations. The falling reverse powerbomb onto Masata Tanaka's spine and through a table: wrestling is rarely better than that sick thrill.
It's a draw.
A three-way draw, actually: Keith Lee's Spirit Bomb isn't as iconic, but his ability to do a sit-out Last Ride is supernatural.
