Rikishi's Legendary Stink Face: A Humiliating Yet Hilarious Signature Move in WWE

When Rikishi stepped into the ring, opponents knew they had to worry about the Stink Face! The legendary move became one of WWE’s most unforgettable comedy spots, with Rikishi trapping opponents in the corner before delivering the ultimate humiliation. WWE itself has described it as one of his signature “smelliest” maneuvers. From Kurt Angle’s unforgettable reaction to moments involving D-Von Dudley, Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon and many others, Rikishi somehow turned one of the strangest wrestling moves ever into a fan-favorite comedy moment. Kurt Angle even recalled the experience as particularly unpleasant! The funniest part was always the buildup: Rikishi would slap his backside, the crowd would go crazy, and his opponent would desperately try to escape the corner. The Stink Face wasn’t about technical wrestling—it was pure sports-entertainment comedy, exactly how Rikishi has described his intention behind the move.
