Scott D’Amore was taken out of action back in January of this year – for the first time – when he was powerbombed through a table by Bully Ray and the Good Hands.

Scott returned at the LIVE Sacrifice event on 3/24, when he helped Tommy Dreamer and NHL All Star and Stanley Cup Winner Darren McCarty after they succumbed to the numbers game by Bully Ray and the Good Hands. D’Amore called for more help and some talent hit the ring. Scott nailed Jason Hotch with a Canadian Destroyer as Bully looked on from the ramp.

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.

This led to Scott being powerbombed through a flaming table a few months later, and then eventually Scott D’Amore agreeing to a match at Slammiversary.
