best seller

[Stargazer Rex]

Good lord I forgot about This lol

That’s a pretty rough bump to take for no good reason

Rey had to make The Outsiders look strong, brother.

Ha ha. Shawn is the best part of that clip.

Kurt Angle.

Benoit.

Eddie.

Ahahahaha yeah 5’5 needed to make 7 foot Kevin Nash look strong lol.

I wonder how they convinced him to take that bump.

“Ummm I’m gonna throw u like a dart at a trailer and then you’ll hit the concrete like a ton of bricks”

That was probably how it went

How do you forget:

He's a NY Times Best Seller

 

[GuanoApes]

RVD sold a piledriver well once.

 

[Bamboozled]

HBK is the most popular answer.

I vote Barry Windham though. You ever see a guy as good as Windham when it comes to selling and feeding? It's crazy. Other guys on the list are Hulk Hogan, and not because he does anything special either. Hogan made people believe he could lose when he won 99% of the time. He would always get reactions until he retired.

I enjoyed Scott Halls oversell of the Stunner. Wasnt quite the oversell HBK did with his match with Hogan but still made me laugh my arse off.

 

[Hitman81]

Bret. He made everything look real.

Hennig was too over the top.

Honorable mention to RVDs selling of the DDT.

Which valiant comeback did you prefer survivor series 2003 or 2005?

 

[Sanshou Kid]

Terry Funk deserves a mention, as does Jeff Hardy I would say.

 

[gspieler]

Ric Flair. He got his ass kicked and bled in every match, but always came away with the win.

I always found it hilarious when he screamed after taking his classic backdrop, or when someone reverses the figure four

Mr Perfect and HBK copied his style, and did it better in some respects

Bret Hart made everyones move look like he just got hit by a car

(OR A DIESEL TRUCK)

I prefer Bret's style of believable selling. His reactions are consistent with how someone would act after taking a huge hit IRL. It creates a better overall product IMO, vs the HBK et al style of selling moves in a caricature fashion, then a few seconds later acting like nothing happened.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Kurt Angle.

Benoit.

Eddie.

Kurt was great. Could have steam roll everybody he sold hard for irl as well.. Besides brock maybe.

 

[ProBoxingInsidr]

anyone mention the ultimate warrior?

 

[catchwrestle]

Flair
Bret
Barry Horawitz
Steiner when he'd take that boot to the face running into the corner. He'd drop like a sack of cement

 

[GuanoApes]

I say HBK.

And 10 min later Bret would still be selling a banged up knee, bruised ribs or a injured shoulder...


Now people get their knee worked for 5 min straight and 10 min later they're pulling top rope shit on it

Thread is about best sellers, not best no-sellers.

 

[Bluesbreaker]

Some good suggestions in here. I can't co-sign on Triple H, though. To me, he was everything wrong with that "main event style". Just do huge moves, then lay down for five minutes.
