Facebuster

Layla El on AJ Lee

As with brainbusters, spinebusters etc., a facebuster is any move that drives a specific nominative body part of the opponent's (their face, in this case) into the mat with great force. Typically flat-chested, without the application of a headlock (so no bulldogs, cutters or DDTs). The most basic kind of facebuster that modifications build upon would look something like X-Pac's X-Factor, in which the attacker stands face-to-face with an opponent, grabs their head with both hands, and simply falls.
