During a recent video on his YouTube channel, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley ranked the wrestling finishing moves that hurt the most. However, the most disgusting move of them all was receiving the Stinkface from Rikishi. D-Von Dudley jokingly claimed he still holds a grudge against Rikishi whenever he sees him over the Stinkface. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

D-Von Dudley on working with Rikishi: “I have a 300-plus-pound Samoan, not only beating me up, dragging me in the corner and wanting to put his big ass in my face. Rikishi took it upon himself to put his hands on me and on top of that, put his damn nasty big ass in my face.”

On how disgusting the Stinkface was: “It felt disgusting and to this day. I hold a grudge against Rikishi and every time I see him, I tell him that. Why the hell’d you put your ass in my face?”

Rikishi was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2015. D-Von was later inducted as part of the 2018 Hall of Fame class with Bully Ray (aka Bubba Ray Dudley) as The Dudley Boyz.
