During his latest Youtube video (via Fightful), D-Von Dudley said that the stinkface from Rikishi is worse than any wrestling move he’s ever taken in the ring. The topic came up when he was talking about his days as Reverend D-Von.

He said: “Now, unfortunately, as Reverend D-Von, when I’m out there trying to save souls and get people to put in a donation box, just so I can continue my work as saving souls for the profit Vince McMahon, 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. Why? What did I ever do to that man that deserved that? Because I had a deacon on the outside in Dave Bautista, collecting the money from the masses of people that came down, remind you, I never forced them, they came down and delivered those dollar bills in my collection plate. So it wasn’t like Reverend D-Von was doing anything wrong, but 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. People want to ask me how that felt. It felt disgusting. To this day, I hold the grudge against Rikishi. Every time I see him, I tell him, ‘Why the hell did you put your ass in my face?’ I am a reverend. I am a man of the cloth. What have I ever done wrong? Picture that, him putting that ass in my face and me having to smell that. You think that’s nice? No, which is why we took it out on the Usos when we came back to WWE… It’s something that was foul and disgusting. It’s probably bigger than any move that I’ve ever taken, even worse than the Swanton from Jeff Hardy. So if I’m saying that, then you know the Stink Face had to be bad. Rikishi, damn you, damn you. You know I’m damning you because of what you did. How bad could that have been for you to have done that to me? You didn’t see me dropping my ass, taking my underwear, sticking it up my ass, and giving you a Stink Face. What the hell is wrong with you, man? I’ve waited all these years to let this out and to tell you how I felt, and this is how I feel: Love you like a brother, but man, I hate it for what you did to me. I still can’t believe to this day that the WWE allowed that, and Mr. McMahon, being my benefactor, should have fired your ass on the spot, but he didn’t. So again, what am I gonna rate this Stink Face? The S-tier, because it’s foul, disgusting, and should have never been done on Reverend D-Von.
