Hello and welcome back to The Best, a monthly thread where we discuss a single pro wrestling move that just happens to be the best. This month's move is illegal and deadly, unless you’re an indy wrestler and then they’re mandatory: THE PILEDRIVER There's all kinds of piledrivers! Snaps for surprise! Cradle to pick up big boys! The only safe and legal one, the Tombstone! EVERYONE MUST DO DESTROYERS Don't post your favorite version here, you'll get fined!!!

I tried to find a Chase Owens package piledriver gif but this has been made harder after the bastards got Lariato's Twitter account suspended so instead have an inferior Kevin Steen package piledriver: https://gfycat.com/sparsewelldocumentedkite One of the many reasons that Super Dragon is in fact very much the coolest, the Psycho Driver III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRYboVnQ6B8 The legendary "Ganso bomb", where Kawada clearly meant to powerbomb Misawa but instead ouch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzhnSjCAmhE Anyway, the Kudome Valentine/Kudo Driver/Vertebreaker/Cop Killer also counts according to Wikipedia's Piledriver page so it counts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTResZzjqM8

Excellent choice of The Best move. I love piledrivers I was trying to find a piledriver that I’ve only ever seen used by this Swedish wrestler called Viggen. He calls it the Dirty Driver and he does what’s like maybe a package or tombstone piledriver from off his knees (it’s been a while since I’ve seen him). He only drops the victim like a couple of inches but he somehow makes it look filthy, much like the name suggests. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any footage of him doing it. Does that piledriver ring a bell for anyone, and do you know if anyone else than Viggen who uses it?

Couldn't find a good quality video of it but Viktor's Crucifix Piledriver is disgusting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az51Gvs0-Vo

Was able to find at least this photographic evidence of the aforementioned Dirty Driver. Viggen claims he came up with it https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg0gCfPlJ-J/?igshid=1sja1rrsk0d5u It’s seriously a great move!

I love Okada's spinning tombstone Has anyone ever done a 360-spinning piledriver like Zangief in Street Fighter (the amount of rotations he does is more than 360 though that's already inhuman)

A courtesy notice to you all that Minoru Suzuki owns and runs a store called Piledriver Harajuku. My love of piledrivers started when I watched Undertaker do one as a wee luva1. I always had the impression he broke someone's neck.

Does the Steiner Screwdriver count because it owns bones

Aesculus posted:Does the Steiner Screwdriver count because it owns bones I think so, it’s more of a super piledriver than a suplex variant. By extension the Greetings from Asbury Park probably counts too because it’s basically a screwdriver where the person giving the move cares about not paralyzing the receiver

My favorite is the time Tenzan knocked himself out doing one into an electric fence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lfPZ-c-hrg

extradite THIS! posted:Excellent choice of The Best move. I love piledrivers I believe Viggen is the only that uses that version, but it reminds me of the Hollow Point AJ Styles used for a bit in NJPW and indies around 2014/2015: https://imgur.com/vYtEWge Also, Viggen is loving awesome.
