16* ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'': At one point early in the fight, Broly does this to Goku, running his face against the side of a glacier. It hurt Goku bad enough that it ''nearly killed'' him. Notably, Goku was in his Super Saiyan God form, Broly was in his pre-SS "Wrathful" form.

19** At the climax of the Tartaros Arc, [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Mard Geer Tartaros]] grabs Natsu and Gray by the head and grinds their faces into the stone floor of his ruined guild hall while he's flying at high speeds, even declaring his intent to grind their bodies and spirits to dust as he does so. Luckily, they manage to get a grip on his arms and pull themselves up to punch him in the face.
20* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Roa does this to Louis Armstrong.
21* In ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', Seras Victoria, upon [[spoiler:awakening as a true vampire]], uses her SuperSpeed and her UnstoppableRage to kill Zorin Blitz by grinding her face against the wall. By the time she’s through, well over half of Zorin’s head is ''gone.''

24[[folder:Comic Books]]
25* In ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'', the titular hero at one point gets into a fight with his rival Bullseye (whose trademark is taking everyday items and using them as lethal weapons) in an empty room, figuring he'd be an easy win under those conditions. Bullseye responds by beating Daredevil against the walls and floor, culminating by hurling him out a window.
26* Marv does this to one of his informants, from a moving vehicle, in ''ComicBook/SinCity''.
27-->''I don't know about you, but I'm having a ball.''

32* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'': [[LiteralMetaphor A literal example]] happens during the "attack of the dishes" scene, when Kay tries to fight off a mop (which was previously enchanted by Merlin along with the rest of the cleaning supplies to clean themselves), and a broom knocks him from behind. The mop then wraps itself around Kay's head, and proceeds to literally wipe the floor with him (even dousing him in the water bucket at intervals for good measure).

41
42[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
43* In ''Series/TheBoys2019'', A-Train kills Blue Hawk by dragging him down the road while running at SuperSpeed. Blue Hawk's corpse is flayed from the neck down from the experience and his head and right hand are shredded into ribbons. Given his initial screams, it's clear that Blue Hawk was conscious until his head was destroyed.
44* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'':
45** Stella's boyfriend-turned-stalker, Frankie, drags her around her apartment by her ankles in "All Access."

48* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'':
49** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]": After Father Matthias is attacked by Lestat de Lioncourt, there's a trail of blood which leads from the confession booth to the pews, so the latter had dragged the former across the church's floor before lacerating his prey's neck with his [[FangsAreEvil vampire fangs]].
50** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E5AVileHungerForYourHammeringHeart A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart]]": After Lestat [[DomesticAbuse bashes Louis de Pointe du Lac against the walls of their house like a rag doll]], his [[AbsurdlySharpClaws vampire fingernails]] pierce the underside of his boyfriend's chin like hooks, and then he drags the gravely injured Louis across the floor, which leaves behind a long trail of blood.
51* It's not shown on screen, but in ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', Elliot claims a female soldier would mop the floor with Hardison. He then specifies that he is being literal, she once killed a guy with a mop, apparently breaking the mop and then using it in this way.

59
60[[folder:Video Games]]
61* Both Rock's and Astaroth's [[FinishingMove Critical Finishes]] use this trope in ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur IV]]'', with a [[{{BFS}} giant]] [[CarryABigStick mace]] and axe respectively.
62* Ridley does this to Samus in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' during Subspace Emissary. It also shows up as his side special move upon being PromotedToPlayable in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
63** And again in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''. The first time he does it, [[spoiler:Samus' suit gets ''rubbed off'', thanks to her HeroicBSOD making her lose the concentration needed to sustain it]].
64** In ''Ultimate'', King K. Rool's back throw is this, slamming his opponent and raking them across the floor before flinging them away.
65* A few characters in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' have grab moves where they drag the opponent along the ground, notably [[Characters/FatalFury3 Yamazaki]] and Vice.
66* In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|AbsenceOfJustice}}'', Jennifer's Bomber Knuckle magichange special has the user drag the target up a wall until they catch on fire for the initial part of the move.
67* One of Sodom's moves in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'', to the point where the opponent catches fire.
68* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has the "[[BodySled Body-Surf]]" move, where you jump on top of a hapless bystander and ride them like a skateboard, leaving a bloody trail in your wake. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Unreasonably cruel]]? Yes. [[CatharsisFactor Way more fun than it has any right to be?]] '''Yes.'''
69* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': Asura does this twice, first to Wyzen and second to an EliteMook. And again against [[spoiler:[[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]]]].
70* During the first part of the fight with Zeus at the climax of ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'', Zeus can grind Kratos' face along the rafter they're fighting on, prompting a [[PressXToNotDie quicktime event]] to turn the tables before he slams Kratos into a wall.
71* In ''Videogame/Yakuza5'', one of Kiryu's Heat Moves for a downed enemy is to grab their face and scrape it on the ground while one of Shinada's [[LimitBreak Climax Heat]] moves is to grab an enemy by the legs and drag them across the ground like a rickshaw.
72* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', the Subway StageFatality starts with the victor grinding the opponent's face against a passing train (this is followed by throwing them in the path of another train passing on the other side of the platform).
73* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoSun'', [[NeatFreak Kikimora]] doesn't like when Arle dirties some cobblestone she had just finished sweeping and forcibly drags Arle around on the ground with her broom as a reaction.
74* In ''VideoGame/DefJamFightForNY'', one of the attacks performed by grabbing a stunned opponent that was knocked against a wall is to rub his or her face against the concrete. This deals as much damage as ramming them into said wall head-first.
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Web Animation]]
78* In ''WebAnimation/DeadFantasy 2'', Tifa does this to Kasumi while they're running down the side of a building, and then runs her through several stone pillars for good measure.
79* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'': At the end of "[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku Black]] VS [[Franchise/TheFlash Reverse-Flash]]", [[spoiler:Reverse-Flash finishes Black off by dragging him across the ground at SuperSpeed, going around the Earth seemingly hundreds of times, the skin on the front of Black's body being completely gone by the time Reverse-Flash is done]]. For a final insult, the victor then hurls the loser's corpse [[HurlItIntoTheSun right into the sun and making it explode]].
80* Done in ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' when Yoshi {{Ground Pound}}s Mecha Sonic as he skids along the ground. Mecha returns the favor later in the fight, pressing Yoshi into the dirt with his feet and grinding him forwards at speed.
81[[/folder]]
82
83[[folder:Webcomics]]
84* Used in an early appearance of an arc villain in ''Webcomic/GeistPanik'', when he drags an unfortunate victim's face against a brick wall. The attack is fatal. The perpetrator laments his lack of an iPod, since he feels that playing some Music/{{Rammstein}} would make the act much more badass.
85* Naturally Webcomic/KarateBears would [[http://www.karatebears.com/2012/12/drag-it-out.html do this.]]
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Western Animation]]
89* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': During Jack and Vlad's fight, Jack shows off his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass status and quite literally cleans the lab with Vlad, including sweeping him over a table (and incidentally clearing it of junk).
90* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain:'' [[spoiler:MT kills Mace]] in a [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath spectacularly violent manner]] by shoving him into a giant moving train wheel, causing him to spew AlienBlood [[BloodFromEveryOrifice from all parts of his face]] until he's torn to pieces. Considering [[spoiler:he spent the whole season trying to grind MT to nothing with a sander]], [[KarmicDeath it's a rather fitting way to go out]].
