#2 Shawn Michaels eats a jackknife powerbomb

A power bomb from Kevin Nash to Shawn Michaels may be a best case high impact maneuver out of this combination of wrestlers.

One of the quandaries of booking a nWo vs. DX match in 2018 is a question of who would take the bumps? Kevin Nash was injury prone even in his prime, and he’s a far cry from that physical state nowadays. Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall would probably, at best, just barely pass a WWE physical.

That leaves Shawn Michaels and Triple H to absorb the brunt of big bumps to the extent they would happen in such a match. Helmsley is still capable of working at full contact, but is also a heavyweight whom his opponents might have trouble throwing around with ease.

So then there’s HBK, who demonstrated a willingness and ability to absorb a big bump when he took a chokeslam through a table at Super Show-Down. He has taken his share of powerbombs from Kevin Nash over the years and remains athletic and light enough to be the ideal guy to take Big Sexy’s signature maneuver to pop the crowd.
