I know what you’re thinking when you read that title – it’s not possible that Adam Bomb actually squashed Eugene as they were not in the WWF at the same time.
After all, Bomb was detonating in the company from 1993 to 1995…and Eugene was there from 2005 to 2007. Not only is that a decade of time between the stays, the companies technically weren’t even the same. Check out those logos in the bottom left of their publicity pix!
But hey kids, that’s where the beauty of the utter randomness of WCW Nitro comes in! You see, in 1998 we got this young fella slapping hands with seemingly every single person in the audience. That there would be a pre-Eugene Nick Dinsmore coming to the ring, taking on…
…a post-Adam Bomb Bryan Clark, now known as Wrath! Have I ever mentioned how much I loved this company? It was like a wrestling What If…book come to life!
So the match starts and Adam Bomb (Wrath, whatever) just obliterates poor Dinsmore, tossing him pillar to post. Check out the height on that biel throw!
Wrath does a GIANT leapfront, then Dinsmore attempts a comeback with a drop kick, but that has zero effect. A second one is swatted away like a fly. We then get a humongoid back suplex.
A whip into the corner comes next and Wrath flies at him like a jumbo jet colliding with a mosquito.
Wrath finishes Dinsmore off with his finisher, the Meltdown. Which of course proves the old adage: you can take the Wrath out of the Adam Bomb, but you can’t take the Adam Bomb out of the Wrath. Or something like that. Regardless, am I the only one that thought this guy was kinda awesome and never given his just due?
