Big Van Vader breaks Joe Thurman's back with powerbomb.

In late 1992 during an episode of WCW Worldwide, WCW World Champion Vader took on Joe Thurman and TA McCoy in a handicaped match.

It was during this match that Vader gave Thurman a brutal chokeslam, bending the man in half, followed be an even worse powerbomb.

After Vader delivered the powerbomb, he leans down and checks on Thurman. The referee counted the pin, even though no part of Vader was directly touching Thurman.

The powerbomb paralyzed Joe for some time, as reported in Mick Foley' s book "Have a Nice Day." Vader was upset to the point of tears after hearing this but luckily Thurman regained his abilty to walk after some time.
