ok including mexican wrestling in the search gave me the info i was looking for, direct from wiki:

 

After leaving WCW, Barr was brought into Mexico's Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre (EMLL) promotion by Konnan.[2] He initially wrestled under a mask as "The American Love Machine", and was very successful.[2] A year after entering EMLL, the American Love Machine faced off against another masked wrestler, Blue Panther, in a mask versus mask match.[2] 18,000 fans sold out the 17,000 seat Arena México in Mexico City and another 8,000 fans watched on big screen TV in the parking lot to see the card.[2] The match ended when "Love Machine" administered a Piledriver (Martinete in Spanish) against Blue Panther, an illegal move in Mexican wrestling, thus losing his mask.

 

thank you for your help

A martinete is any move that results in you dropping your opponent on his head.

 

So yeah, a piledriver would be one, as would a brainbuster I believe.

 

Yes, and very illegal in Mexico. Only the bad guys, rudos, use martinetis altough I've read that technicos have used it to some extent of getting revenge on the bad guys.

I wish they had this in the US. It would be a great way to get heels(dirty tactics) over and a great way to keep the face looking strong in a revenge scenario while gettin the heel a cheap win.
