The Powerbomb - Who Did It Best?

4. Jushin 'Thunder' Liger

The word "Jushin" means "Beast-God", which is a perfect name for this legendary wrestler

Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger is widely considered to be one of the most innovative, influential, and adaptable wrestlers ever. His matches were crucial to the growth of cruiserweight wrestling around the world, and his work was emulated by many wrestlers around the world.

A key aspect of Liger’s matches was that he was multi-dimensional. This meant that he was good in all areas of wrestling instead of just one style. Liger’s Powerbomb finisher is an example of that. This version, aptly called the Ligerbomb, was Liger’s finisher for many years and is his main finisher today.

His Ligerbomb is special because of how it ends. Instead of pinning his opponent after they’ve been dropped, Liger kicks his legs out the moment his opponent is airborne. As soon as they land, Liger has his feet on top of their shoulders in a perfect pinning position.

Doing basically two moves simultaneously is incredibly difficult, even for the most skilled pro wrestler. This goes to show just how much skill Liger really has as a performer, and is a testament to why so many others have paid tribute to him over the years.
