#5 Canadian Destroyer
Trending
The Canadian Destroyer is the indy wrestling move of choice, the most ‘create-a-move’ move in all of professional wrestling. It looks like a move that came about when two individuals were a little tipsy and looked to create something that would pop a crowd, yet be utterly preposterous at the same time.
Even the description of the move is somewhat ridiculous, as the Candian Destroyer is a ‘front-flip piledriver’. Most moves that involve a ‘front-flip’ are ridiculous.
The move was made famous by former TNA X-Division Champion, Petey Williams, and as such is named after the man, and while the name ‘Canadian Destroyer’ becomes a little redundant when used by anybody else, it has sort of stuck due to a lack of better options. The move is used by many wrestlers outside of WWE today, most notably by Adam Cole and Pentagon Jr.
To the best of our knowledge, this move has never been used in WWE. John Cena, of all people, busted out something along the same lines last year, albeit removing the ‘piledriver’ element of it all.
The Canadian Destroyer would work wonderfully as a super finisher for a cruiserweight, someone like Rich Swann, Kalisto or maybe even Neville; that is if WWE remembers he exists.
