* Wrestling/ScottSteiner has the Steiner Screw Driver, a delayed vertical suplex lift, spun and dropped into a reverse piledriver. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer And no, you did not just read that wrong.]]

* [[VideoGame/PizzaTower Peppino Spaghetti]] gets one of these as one of his many [[TheGrappler throw attacks]]. [[spoiler:The already comical appearance escalates even further during the FinalBoss, where it's used as the finishing blow of his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown against Pizza Head. It hits so hard that he becomes ''stuck headfirst into the tower.'']]

* Pictured above: Zangief in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', who has it as a special throw command. It would later be followed by Mike Haggar from ''VideoGame/FinalFight''. While Mike Haggar used the spinning clothesline first, Zangief developed the spinning piledriver, which Haggar then copied in ''Final Fight 2''. Both versions are the same - Zangief and Haggar grab their opponents, then jump into the air while spinning (which is physically impossible), and slam them down into the ground.

** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'', Zangief gets another spinning piledriver command throw as an air-to-air command throw called Borscht Dynamite. This time, he grabs the opponent, punches them upward, then in an even more physics-defying maneuver than the standard spinning piledriver he somehow manages to jump up to catch them and deliver a spinning power bomb.

* Ash's Charizard's Seismic Toss attack from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. Because the Japanese name of the move is "Earth Throw", as Charizard gains momentum before dropping the opponent's Pokemon onto the ground, a picture of the Earth appears.

* ''Battle Zeque-Den'' from Asmik has one of your martial artists, Hamusu able to grab an enemy and then jump into the air to give them a pile driver that does heavy damage. With her high damage and greater number of useful special attacks including this one and a GroundWave, she's far and away the best character in the game.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Tenchu}} Tenchu: Fatal Shadows]]'', has small teenager [[PintsizePowerhouse Rin]] capable of piledriving enemies from the air with her Death Drop special. In her combo, one of her attacks can be changed to a launcher and send the enemy skywards for the coming death drop. This move even works on [[BearsAreBadNews those nasty bears]].
