Scott D'Amore: I Almost Got Fired For Refusing To Do A Destroyer Back In The Day, Now Everyone Does It​




Scott D'Amore wanted to protect the Canadian Destroyer.

Petey Williams doing the Canadian Destroyer on TNA/IMPACT television during the early days of the X-Divsion was mind-blowing for some people, including Will Ospreay at the time. Now, fans can watch multiple Destroyers in a match or on a card.

Speaking on What Do You Call It? Scott D'Amore discussed his hesitation to do a Destroyer when he was part of Team Canada alongside Petey, and why he has no issue doing it in 2023.

"It's funny because I refused to do the Canadian Destroyer on TV for so long. I almost got fired over it back in the day. They wanted me to hit a Canadian Destroyer on AJ Styles on TV and I was like, 'there's no way the fat dopey manager is hitting the coolest move in wrestling.' Back in 2004, 2005, the Canadian Destroyer was magical. Petey was the only guy doing it and people almost didn't know how it was done. Will Ospreay told me the other day that he and his friends would sit there and watch it back over and over again, trying to figure out how it was done. To me, you would have ruined that moment if Coach D'Amore had done the Canadian Destroyer. Now, fast forward to 2023, and everyone under the sun has done a Canadian Destroyer. It's not going to be bastardized by me doing it, so to hell with everyone else. I was still a little nervous. It was fun," said D'Amore.

D'Amore did the Destroyer to Jason Hotch at IMPACT Sacrifice at 2023. Fans can watch the clip in the video above.
Elsewhere during the interview, D'Amore discussed Trinity coming to IMPACT Wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.

One of the moves that I wished was still as protected as it used to be

I don't know if it was a porn star, it was while he was on a flight tho
I remember, I was trying to make an obscure American Dad reference when they find out the wrestling coach raped one of the students on his team. And then they show he's still the baseball coach and he just says that was a long time ago

Votes have been submitted, MOTY was actually hard to narrow down to 3 and for the first time in awhile I don't think I nominated a KOs one for it
