Oh, Steven Richards would be the perfect candidate to cop a Stink Face from Rikishi, wouldn’t he?

Rikishi, like many on this list, went through a number of character changes before landing on the right gimmick. He was first tried as one half of the Headshrinkers team with cousin Samu, then as the inspirational ‘Make a Difference’ Fatu, before finally - and most farcically - The Sultan.

It wasn’t until late 1999, when Rikishi crossed paths with the Too Cool tag team of Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay, that the blonde haired, thong wearing, Samoan heavyweight finally made his mark. As the Attitude Era’s residential hip-hop group, the trio got over huge, becoming fan favorites with crowds who loved their iconic in-ring dance routines.

Whilst no Rikishi rundown is complete without mentioning the Survivor Series 1999 incident where he claimed to have rundown Stone Cold Steve Austin, this battle royal doesn’t require that Rikishi's services.

We want the big man who knows how to move and deliver a Stink Face or two.
