The Stinkface sees a wrestler rubbing their buttocks in the face of an opponent lying in the corner of the ring, done to humiliate the opponent. The wrestler applying the stinkface may allow it to last for a long amount of time if the referee is distracted, and once the stinkface begins, the person receiving it rarely escapes or reverses. The wrestler may or may not rub their buttocks in the opponents face, as some have been shown with the wrestler simply sitting and relaxing on the opponent's face.

Rikishi introduced The Stinkface in February 2000 in Mobile, Alabama. The Big Bossman had the (dis)honor of being the first recipient of the Stinkface. This became one of Rikishi's signature moves, and he used it in many of his matches.

Big Show later adopted this move, he used it sparingly. The Stinkface does not always have to take place in the corner of the ring. Rikishi had once sat on an opponent's face, giving him the stinkface. Several stinkfaces have also been done with the victim's face being shoved in the wrestler's buttocks while standing or bending over.
