10 Wrestling Moves WWE Banned For Being Too Dangerous

9. The Canadian Destroyer

tumblrtumblrThe calling card of Canadian wrestler Petey Williams, the move itself has many of the same danger issues as the aforementioned pile driver. Oh yeah, plus the fact that you're taking the move, you're also doing a backflip. As the gif above shows, the Canadian Destroyer takes all the dangerous fun of the original piledriver and inserts the added hazard of the attacker having to front flip whilst the victim simultaneously backflips in order to land in a perfect piledriver position. Williams himself invented the move, debuting it on the independent circuit and riding it to a fairly successful run in TNA. It takes serious balls to agree to having this performed on you and although its spectacular nature makes it one of the coolest finishes in pro wrestling, it's no surprise that we've never see it performed in the safer confines of the WWE.
