The forehead stomp is one of the more malicious female wrestling moves. I personally hate this bugger because it focuses its energy on a part of the body that doesn’t normally get hit in women’s wrestling: the forehead. Due to its nature it can end up causing a rash-like burn too which isn’t exactly a pleasant thing either. It also pulls on the skin of the face, which – given that it’s women’s wrestling we’re talking about – is a sensitive matter too.

The victim of the move is on her back on the ring floor or mat. The attacker places her foot (the sole of her wrestling boot) onto her forehead, then stomps downward while pulling her foot to the side as well.

Possible escape: just roll out of the way when you sense your opponent is about to pull this move on you, or use your arms to push her foot away from your face.

Rating: it’s not exactly an efficient wrestling move, it’s more like a maliciously underhanded way to hand out additional punishment to an opponent.
