#2 Powerbomb Backbreaker

Who better for this move than the Messiah of Backbreakers?

This move is very similar to WWE Superstar Cedric Alexander's Lumbar Check, but there is a slight difference. This move sees the performer lifting the victim for a powerbomb, before catching him mid-air with a backstabber, whereas Cedric lifts his opponents like one does for a Back Suplex, and this minor difference is where the game changes.

The Powerbomb Backbreaker is not as instantaneous a move as the Lumbar Check, allowing less agile wrestlers to use it too. Also, the Powerbomb Backbreaker is more vulnerable to reversals, making it a better choice, as wrestling isn't only about winning a match, but telling a story in the ring, and reversals are an integral part of this story.
