The Powerbomb - Who Did It Best?

3. The Undertaker

Taking this move from over seven feet in the air must be excruciatingly painful

In 2000, the Undertaker started using a new move to end his matches: The Last Ride. This was a Powerbomb on steroids, a move that’s far more vicious than the original. Taking a regular Powerbomb is painful enough, as you’re thrown from great heights hard onto your back.

But the Last Ride – which is an elevated Powerbomb – sees the user lift their opponent even higher than normal before dropping them downwards. So if the Undertaker hit someone with this move, they’d fall from well over seven feet in the air with considerable force.

It should also be noted that this move requires an exceptional amount of strength to lift someone into it, so props to the Undertaker for doing that for years without botching the manoeuvre in any way.

Even the smallest elevation took an incredible amount of arm and especially back strength, so for ‘Taker to hit this move on wrestlers as big as Batista showed just how strong he really was.
