Jackknife powerbomb. How is that any different from any other powerbomb? I've often wondered this. Is it to do with the height or a certain flip-up before the drop on the back? |

It's because that name was created when he was Diesel. He would fold up his opponents like a truck jackknifing on the road. |

He would fold up his opponents like a truck jackknifing on the road. Cool but in WCW it looked more like a lazy guy lifting up another guy and just letting him fall down while looking bored. Diesel's powerbomb on HBK at WM 11 looks awesome, still. |

Well at that point it had it's name. It's not the moves fault that he got stupidly lazy and didn't give a shit. Although it did live up to its name when Nash dropped the Giant on his neck trying the move. |

I think "The Brighter Side of Suffering" is pretty cool actually. It reminds me of "Greetings from Asbury Park."

Superkick. What makes it so super? The guy performing it is probably doing 'roids. That's why. |

More like "Transitional/Set-Up for the Finish/Overused & Abused" Joins the DDT, spinebusters and frogsplash. |

Such a shame as the DDT & Spinebuster can look so impressive when the right person does it, they could be finishers if they hadn't been abused so much.
