so I don’t want to this to devolve into something bad revolving around aew as a whole but during tonight’s dynamite main event, oc & penta exchanged I believe 3 Canadian destroyers between each other and neither men went down
is this the natural progression of formerly lights out moves transitioning into something else like the ddt and super kick or was this particularly egregious?
as for myself I love both of these guys and enjoyed the match a lot but this particular exchange has sat in the mind a bit. i haven’t had an issue with how matches are set up in aew until this one sequence that made me audibly say wtf at the tv lmao.
i still think the Canadian destroyer looks ridiculously cool and powerful but maybe it just can’t be a finisher nowadays with how it has been used across all wrestling companies besides bad bunny?

It didn't bother me much given Penta's been using it as one of his signature, but not finisher, moves for years. He has occasionally won with it, I think, but if he's going to finish a match with a piledriver, it is almost invariably his package piledriver instead.
As for your second point, Dustin Rhodes has won at least one match with it in AEW, pinning Sammy Guevara in a singles match after giving him one. I think Cole has won a match or two with the Panama Sunrise in AEW, but it's at most a secondary finisher for him, too.

For my personal taste it will always get a facepalm reaction.
People complained about the Richards/Edwards (I think?!) superplex spot and no sell for years, this fits right up there (down there?) for me.

I dunno the Fear Factor on the ring apron kick out, followed by a Fear Factor in the middle of the ring kick out, made me more displeased.

An American and Mexican exchanging Canadian Destroyers: This match was brought to you by NAFTA.

Orange got his hand on the ropes for the first FF on the ring apron to stop the count, which I can just about accept, but the second FF which Cassidy actually kicked out of was too much. The FF is not a move that should be kicked out of in my book.

It was dumb but I guess it really played into the fact that Orange cannot and will not be killed, so I’ll give it a pass.

I’m usually not this guy but….I thought it looked very dumb and more fake than I care for wrestling to look.

I hated it, but the fact that it will lead to rage from a certain community pleases me.

Did not bother me I just thought it looked all types of dumb.
But did play into something that has become way too prevelent and that is delayed selling on every...single....move in wrestling in general.

Haaaaated it. Who needs selling or ring psychology anymore? Let’s just spam moves because we’re invincible. Garbage.

One of my pet peeves. I still think a piledriver should be a match ender (barring rope breaks, to long before oin, etc.).

I didn't catch this week's Dynamite, but I saw the clip on the internet and immediately, the voice of Randy Orton going "Stupid stupid stupid!" popped into my head
