Long time fans will have seen the 1st & 3rd videos here, but few have seen the 2nd. There's a couple of reasons why: it was from a Germany-only PPV, and because Michael Wallstreet ruins the shot! He steps right in front of the camera, Jag Thindh style - and no, there was no replay.
According to Nash, Giant had gained a considerable amount of weight between '97 & '98, so when he attempted the Jackknife at Souled Out, Giant's arms were like heavy anchors pulling him back down. Nash couldn't lift Giant all the way up, dropping him on his head in an infamously scary moment.
The brutality of this botched Jackknife would be used in replays to get over the viciousness of Nash & the nWo as a whole, as well as to promote a rematch at Superbrawl '98.
