So I just saw a gif on twitter of Punishment Martinez doing a Destroyer on Matt Riddle (which Riddle effectively no sold and hit a knee on him). Add that to the one Rey fired off on Almas on Smackdown. So is it safe to say that it’s now open season on what has become the single most bastardized move on the independent scene? If that’s the case can we at least get someone using a regular ass piledriver as a finish? Maybe Owens can bring back the package piledriver upon his return.

What's the Destroyer? Post the gif. I suppose I should’ve said Canadian Destroyer (flipping piledriver). I figure it’s gone beyond a single nationality at this point. This is like everything I hate about wrestling in the span of 4 seconds, I love it.

The Canadian Destroyer is a level of stupid pro wrestling that loops back around into utter f***ing glory so I'm all for it. I want a segment where two dudes just give each other back and forth Canadian Destroyers like the extended chop exchange in a super stiff New Japan match.

There was a Teddy Hart vs Pentagon Jr match from MLW where they were giving them out like candy. I saw at least 5 between the two of them from different positions. There was definitely one on apron. It was damn ridiculous.

Always thought a piledriver would've been a perfect finisher for Bobby Roode.

Why is this move allowed but an old fashioned piledriver isn’t?

Always thought a piledriver would've been a perfect finisher for Bobby Roode. Totally agree. It would also end his streak of terrible finishers going back to TNA.

Teddy Hart and Harry Smith pulled off a Doomsday Canadian Destroyer on someone a few months ago. I haven’t been able to enjoy my life since seeing it.

I ain't gonna be too hard on this sequence considering it was a House Show on the Florida Loop.
But yeah I'm down for some people using the Destroyer in matches or as a finish. I don't know if we'll ever see plain piledrivers again, but this is definitely the start of something.

I think my head is closer to the mat in my home as I sit here than someone's comes during Owens' package piledriver, so yeah, let him use it as a finish and come back as a face when he's ready. Lord knows he needs the change.

I f***ing hate the Canadian Destroyer, Riddle no-selling it and hitting the knee made it even worse and now I am definitely never going to be a Matt Riddle fan. FERK there is just so much shitty shitty bang bang in that one gif that it's ruinous to the Universe.

I am still kind've a fan of the Canadian Destroyer but seeing everyone and their dog doing it kinda killed it for me a bit.
If it somehow ends up on actual WWE television I'd expect it as a blue moon finish for someone not their normal one.
Like how a standard piledriver pretty much only happens at Mania.

I like the move as an occasional finisher, but kicking out immediately reminds me of the Road Warriors no selling piledrivers back in the 80s-which even as a young guy I hated.
The last piledriver in WWE that I remember was Cena/Punk on Raw. Did I miss any?

FERK there is just so much shitty shitty bang bang in that one gif that it's ruinous to the Universe. The fact that it ends with a no sell and a SRS MMA knee is my favorite part. NXT is the best comedy promotion since 5 Dollar Wrestling.
