10 High-Impact Power Moves: Who Did Them Best?

Many different moves can be used in professional wrestling, from technical reversals and submission moves to high-flying spots from the top turnbuckle. However, high-impact power moves are often the most exciting that the industry provides as they tend to look the most devastating.

They're guaranteed to get a reaction from the crowd, and that is why so many wrestlers end up sharing these moves and adding their own unique twists to them. That is why everyone has their own personal favorites about who hits each move the best, but certain wrestlers do stand out with how they deliver these moves.

10 Powerbomb (Kevin Nash)

There are tons of wrestlers who have used the Powerbomb over the years, and there's no doubt that it looks incredible. Seeing a wrestler lifted high into the air to then be slammed down onto the mat is something that always looks impactful, and Kevin Nash did it better than others.

He is so much taller than most wrestlers that his version of the move looked so devastating, particularly due to how much power he would use when slamming down his opponent.

9 German Suplex (Tam Nakano)

There are tons of wrestlers who opt to use the German suplex and it is something that always looks great due to the impact that takes place on someone's neck. While there are much bigger and stronger wrestlers that hit this move, nobody quite does it like Tam Nakano.

She hits a perfect bridge when nailing this move, and it would always leave her opponent high on their necks. It's something that leads to fans cringing when she hits it due to how painful it appears, which is why she's the best at delivering it.

8 Blue Thunder Bomb (Konosuke Takeshita)

Sami Zayn might be the person a lot of fans think about when it comes to the Blue Thunder Bomb, but it is actually Konosuke Takeshita who hits it best. Because he has a height and strength advantage over most people who use this move he can make it look even more devastating than most.

Takeshita always gets a huge reaction when he connects with this move, and that's down to how he delivers it. This is something he could use as his finish if he wanted to because of how good it looks, but as of right now, that's not the case.

7 Uranage Slam (Samoa Joe)

The Uranage Slam is best known to most wrestling fans as a Rock Bottom, and while The Rock certainly popularized this move, it is Samoa Joe who hits it best. The AEW star brings so much authority with his version of the move that it is something people love to see.

He tends to hit it in the corner of the ring, stopping his opponent from doing whatever they're planning by slamming them to the mat. Joe often brings a lot of attitude to his version, and that's something that people enjoy watching.

6 Spinebuster (Arn Anderson)

The Spinebuster is an impactful move that is hard-hitting and makes for an easy transition in the middle of the match when it comes to being a reversal. That's why a lot of different people use the move, with this being something that often works well in getting a near fall that a crowd can buy into.

However, out of all the wrestlers who utilize this move it is Arn Anderson who stands out as the best. Double A would hit this both smoothly and with authority, with that combination making for a special move.

5 Snap Dragon Suplex (Kenny Omega)

The Snap Dragon Suplex is one of the most explosive moves in professional wrestling, and that is why it looks so impactful whenever someone hits it. Kenny Omega is the ultimate wrestler at using this as he gets so much pace and power onto it that it ends up surprising fans.

Omega's version of this move works incredibly fast, leaving fans in awe at how fast it all ends up happening. With his opponent being launched onto their neck it instantly looks damaging, with this being a special move in his arsenal.

4 Pop-Up Powerbomb (Kevin Owens)

Over the years there have been many different versions of the Powerbomb created by wrestlers looking to make a tweak. One of those is the Pop-Up Powerbomb, which is best done by Kevin Owens, who used this as his finishing move before moving to the Stunner.

He does a great job of blending this in naturally to his matches, which isn't the case for everyone with moves like this. He also slams his opponents down so hard that audiences almost feel it, which is what makes it so special.

3 Falcon Arrow (Seth Rollins)

The Falcon Arrow is another fun high-impact move that people enjoy watching, and it is one that a lot of wrestlers have added to their arsenal. However, Seth Rollins is the man who hits it best as he can transition into it smoothly while also connecting perfectly to make a lot of impact.

Every time Rollins hits the move fans react massively and it's something that he can work to get a convincing near fall whenever he uses it, proving how effective it is.

2 DDT (Jake Roberts)

The DDT is a fantastic high-impact move because it is easy for fans to imagine how painful it would be getting slammed down to the mat like that. There is nobody who has done the move better than the originator, Jake Roberts, who would drive his opponent down with real force.

There's a reason why Roberts used this as his finisher rather than a transitional move like it is nowadays, and that's because he would create such an impact that it would make fans believe things were done.

1 Brainbuster (Jushin Liger)

A brainbuster combines a vertical suplex and a DDT to create one of the most impactful moves in the business. There is an element of risk with this one, which is why it is typically reserved for only the very best performers, and Jushin Liger is one of those.

Liger had an arsenal jam-packed with impactful power moves that would help his matches be incredibly exciting, one of which was the brainbuster. He always made it look brilliant, really dropping down his opponent with aggression.
