Package Piledriver

Aguijón Mortal.

The wrestler puts their arms underneath the opponent's arms and grabs their legs by the knees. The wrestler then stands up, lifting the opponent until they are upside down, and drops to a sitting position with the opponent's head between their thighs. Rey Escorpión started using in in mid 2012, and named it Aguijón Mortal ("Deadly Sting") at the 2013 FantasticMania. Skandalo also uses a variation of this move.

Zeuxis & Pentagon Jr. use the move as well, with the pseudonyms La Dulzura ("The Sweetness") & Fear Factor respectively. Unlike other Martinete variations, the package piledriver is not typically an illegal move (possibly because it looks fancier & suitably more "technical" than a basic piledriver).

Whilst the modern version was seemingly innovated by Kevin Steen on the North American '00s indie scene, Aja Kong - unbeknownst to him - was doing her own, uglier, more rudo-ish version in the 1990s (that doesn't hook the arms).
