The Animal was known for his amazing strength and power, managing to pick up the heaviest of foes and drive them down with all his force via spinebuster or Batista Bomb. Batista's dominance only made the finisher look that much more impressive.

At least, it was impressive as long as he could bring his opponent up first. At SummerSlam 2006, the then-World Heavyweight Champion King Booker put his title on the line against Batista. Booker would walk away with the belt, though he lost the match via DQ.

Prior to the finish, however, Batista set the King up for an earth-shattering Batista Bomb, only for it to go off with a whimper instead of a bang.

The Animal struggled to pick up the champion, almost dropping him on his head by accident. Eventually, Batista would power Booker upward to the sky for the Batista Bomb, avoiding a possibly terrible accident.
