Master of the Powerbomb match: Sid Vicious v. Kevin Nash
I do believe this is the feud that gave us the famous “half the brain” promo from Sid. Whomsoever hitteth the first bomb of power here gets the win, according to the ancient scrolls. Nash gets some knees in the corner and the framed elbow, and a “clothesline” gets two. Sid tries for the powerbomb, but Nash hits him in the nuts as Tony Khan awards a special chair to the lucky fan who bought the ticket to the fortieth nutshot tonight! So they “fight” to the “floor” as this “match” continues with Sid “hitting” Nash with a “chair”. Air quotes are losing all meaning for me. Back in the ring, Sid gets a legdrop and a slam and Nash just doesn’t give a shit here. But can you blame him? Nah. Ref is bumped, because of course he is, and Sid gets the powerbomb, but it’s not a LEGAL powerbomb because the ref is out, and Jeff Jarrett comes out and hits Sid with a guitar. “This match is a travesty!” notes Scott Hudson. I love shoot comments that aren’t supposed to be shoot comments. Nash tries a powerbomb but his back is too sore, so he just tells the ref that he powerbombed Sid and he wins via stupid ref instead. Yes, Nash won because he was so lazy that he didn’t even do his own finish in a match where you can only win by doing your finish. You have to respect that on some level. -***
