Goldberg Reveals Who Was The Hardest Wrestler To Hit Jackhammer On
Some of the biggest attractions about him was his finishing maneuvers, The Spear and The Jackhammer. Spear was the move that was used by a lot of big wrestlers like Edge, Bobby Lashley, Batista and even Roman Reigns. But not everybody knows that the move was actually invented by Goldberg.
Another menacing move that was used by him was the Jackhammer. While using this move he has lifted some of the biggest and heaviest wrestlers in professional wrestling history such as The Big Show and Mark Henry. These moves are also a huge reason behind his ultimate success.
Goldberg who is the former three times WWE World Champion and a former WCW World Heavyweight champion recently spoke to The Bump where he revealed which wrestler was the hardest to hit Jackhammer on. He said;
“It’s very easy: The Big Show. Anyone that weighed 525 — he weighed over 500 when I Jackhammered him the first time. And a little piece of information most people don’t know is that he — well, you can probably guess it, but he didn’t like being upside down.
“And when we were main eventing the house shows… going from town to town to town, putting on matches that were literally over before the bell rang. And he would come out and he would choke Charles Robinson, set him up for the chokeslam. I would come running out of the locker room, my music would hit. I would spear him, Jackhammer him and pin him before the bell would ring.
“And we did that every night, every city that we did these house shows. And people were on their feet. And I would hold him up in the air as long as I could, just to make him feel a little but uncomfortable and vulnerable, because how often do you get to do that to a giant, right? But by far, he was the hardest that I had ever hoisted, no question.”
“Oh, absolutely #1 [among all Jackhammers]. There’s no question about it… For him to allow me to do that to him was unbelievable. And it shows his athleticism. I mean, there’s no question, it shows that I was fairly strong at the time. But his ability to be upside down and to set himself up for that move just shows how athletic that guy is.”
