There is no picture on this right now, but how about this:

Just your regular day at school.

I tried taking a screenshot from this Big Show vs Brock Lesnar match, but it doesn't look good in still shots.

[up] That could work...not sure if it'd need a setup shot or not.

I'm supporting this for now solely for the sheer weirdness factor of some guy suplexing a deer.

[up]Yeah, that's a pretty cool pic. It shows the trope and it's funny too, the whole package! grin

I'd say we can go ahead and add it, then, although I'm not 100% certain about that caption.

I don't think it needs a setup shot, plus, due to the effect used on the scene it would be hard to find a good shot. Here is the scene, and if you feel like a good shot can be used I could grab a screenshot.

[up]Yeah, maybe "Deer God, that gotta hurt".

If we find a third pun about deers we might go for a Hurricane of Puns-type caption :)

Question: do piledrivers count as a Suplex Finisher? The description leads me to believe they do.

They are not the same thing. A suplex consists of someone grabing his opponent, usually with a headlock or from behind(german suplex), and then lift him to drop him with the back of the head being the first point of contact with the ground, while a piledriver is when the opponent falls on the top of his head. Also, a piledriver is considerably more dangerous, and harder to do in RL, since it need cooperation from the person being hit with it.

Both have multiple variations, but some of the basic variations of them are this:

Snap suplex(the standard suplex), German suplex, belly-to-belly suplex, Northern lights suplex.

Texas piledriver, tombstone piledriver, back-to-belly piledriver, Flip piledriver.

I don't think it counts to purpose of the trope either, since the trope basicly exist becuase suplexes are common to see on non-wrestling mediums, while piledrivers aren't. Remember that this is a subtrope of Wrestler in All of Us, so a piledriver goes on that trope.

Also, I'd be fine with "Talk about reindeer games..." caption.

I was thinking of suggesting this if it counted, but I guess not.

I combined the two punny suggestions in the caption. Locking up.
