Just saw the best pro-wrestling finisher ever.

In TNA wrestling.
It's the finishing move by a guy called Petey Williams, it's called 'The Canadian Destroyer' and it's a flip piledriver.

Seriously, needs to be seen to be believed:

Does he only destroy Canandians with it?

It looks like a combination suplex/piledriver.

Meh. I'll give it a 8.9 in style points.

if you look at it he does very little work more work is done by the person taking it they have to do a backflip but ah well TNA is much better than WWE at the mo

It's no Camel Clutch.

It's no Cleveland Steamer

hahahah as soon as i read the name of the thread i thought "Canadian Destroyer", but i'm not sure about that...Samoa Joe's Muscle Buster is pretty mean

p.s. you decide

Not entirely, he pushes with his legs and overpowers the flip. Definitely a combo move, but the best moves are.

Man, that's intense!

Pretty fucking impressive. I used to be into wrestling, but haven't really payed attention to it for years. I like what i've seen from TNA though, sort of a edgier WCW. I really have grown to hate the WWE.

kind of reminds me of a Tokyo Flip Slam?

I liked when Mankind put his dirty sock in people's mouths! That was GROSS !

that was freakin' awesome!

Yeah, this is my fave move of ever. I posted it in the wrestling group couple months ago. He is the shit.

God i hate the Canadian Destroyer. I'm all for suspension of disbelief in pro wrestling (hell, i'm a guy in a skull mask), but i hate moves that are obviously relying on the opponent's cooperation. The Canadian Destroyer, Storm Cradle Driver and the C4 are the worst offenders, and it gives me a headache to watch something so ridiculous.

You want good moves? Look at things like Shining Black, or Go 2 Sleep. For more slammy stuff, the Muscle Buster is swank, and even the Small Package Driver can be passed off as believable.

read my mind.

I'm all for cool finishers, so if you have some video examples, I'd love to see 'em.

-TM

I'm all about Goldust's old Shattered Dreams. Seriously. You're not getting up from that.

I remember the good old fashioned finishers. Jake the Snake Roberts DDT, so simple, but so nice.

Not bad.

You seem to be mistaken.

This is wrestling:



What you are describing is called rasslin.

You've only just seen that? Dunno what you'll do when you see the C4...
