Haven't seen a destroyer in New Japan yet so :salute:

Oh, and unless your shyt looks good, stop doing X move. I've seen some ugly ass superkicks and slingblades and that shyt is :scust: status.

Hiromu does Destroyers all the time. All the lucha guys do as well when they pop in.


Over the past week I've seen: Goldust (on the apron no less), Piper Niven, and someone on NXT (Dijak maybe?) hit a Canadian Destroyer. It's also a staple move for: Hiromu, Adam Cole, Ricky Morton, both Lucha Bros, both LAX members, Joey Janella, Rey Mysterio, plus you'll see it 100 times a show on lucha shows much like the over the ropes apron rana.

People still react every time so there's no need to stop now I guess.

I thought he was doing Code Reds, but :manny:

Only a matter of time until dudes are kicking out of Burning Hammers at 1. And the day that happens, just burn pro-wrestling down as an institution.
People are already kicking out of the Burning Hammer, and frankly anyone who signs off on that deserves to be slapped on principle.

As a whole wrestling needs a "market correction" on the perceived damage of the various spots ... Back in the 80's ppl used to sell getting thrown out the ring like it hurt now you got nikkas getting slammed all types of crazy ways and hopping back up like nothing happened

Wasnt it illegal to throw someone over the top rope in WCW in early 90s?

I fukking hate it. Move makes no fukking sense and makes the person taking it look dumb as fukk. Adam Cole’s being the worst with the stupid set-up.

Move is up there with the overdrive, complete shot/downward spiral, swinging fisherman neckbreaker, Cross Rhodes and all their variations anybody who can’t think of a better finger seems to use.

Petey Pump is excluded since he was the first one I’ve ever seen doing it and back then it was :gladbron:

Willie Mack’s looked cool and actually made sense in how it was hit.
