You can only imagine the sheer sense of dread that must run through a performer's body when another human being decides to flip back through the air and come crashing to the ground, with only your torso to break their fall.

So it's not too difficult to understand why Kevin Nash wasn't in a rush to take a Giant-sized moonsault from Paul Wight during the two's WCW days.

Coming in the lead-up to their planned bout at Starrcade 1997, it was reported that the idea of Wight dusting off a move he'd not performed since the earlier days in his career was pitched to Nash beforehand. As you'd probably expect, Nash wasn't over the moon about taking a backwards summersault from a very literal giant off the top rope.

The pair's match would eventually be called off anyway on account of Nash being rushed to the hospital after a heavy leg workout, but it's clear that Big Sexy was going to do everything in his power to avoid being turned into a human pancake by this one-of-a-kind man-mountain.
