For those of you who were hoping to see the likes of Dolph Ziggler, RVD and Ricochet on this list, I felt that they sell in a more realistic fashion, so I would put them in a different category, i.e. they make you feel as though they are legitimately hurt. The wrestlers I've included in this list are more comical with their overselling.
Fair point. Overall, Dolph Ziggler is going to sell everything his opponent delivers. Sure, he may oversell certain moves - and even ham it up a bit at times - but he doesn't seem to do it to make a point to the agents, bookers, and/or his opponent if he's unhappy about something. He's a very reliable talent in the ring, regardless of spot on the card.
Some of these "Oversells" are actually impressive and cool, realistic. Triple H going thru the ropes or Billy Gun receiving clothesline look very cool and impactful as well.
Exactly. Put respect on H's name. He had a respectable balance of making lame moves (stunner) look devastating but not phony (Rock's selling of stunner).
LMAO Brock Lesnar's sell of Sweet Chin music on Raw on August 19th 2002 was awesome and I believe that was the last time Brock and Shawn interacted until 2012 if I'm not mistaken
DiBiase’s so underrated. Not only is he one of the greatest villains in wrestling history, his technical ability in the ring was a thing of beauty. I know he’s in the hof but I never felt he got the praise he deserved.
Ted had the perfect gimmick too...he and IRS were one of my favorite tag teams of all time. Not only is his entrance music is still on my playlist, I got detention at school for putting some kid in the Million Dollar Dream...anyway I totally agree.
I don't think Dolph Ziggler's sells are that exaggerated to be mentioned in this list. A best seller list would fit him more, which I think he made a video about.
The referee who bounced off all three ropes on the way down is an all time great sell!! I can’t believe a wrestler hasn’t worked it into their Arsenal it’s so good
Mr.Perfect was the embodiment of perfect selling/overselling. In the early 90s he was so over as a heel that it was just pure joy to watch. On one side he was legitely extremely dominant as his abilities were without any doubt- then he could read a match and make his opponents in a way dominant that everyone was happy to see him beatup. Like his IC Title loss against Kerry von Erich- even when he won it back he would make sure it was a dirty win so our hero wouldn't look weak. My most beloved heel.
Rude's wobbly leg sells were absolutely hilarious. Hennig truly was perfect in the ring. Even Hulk frickin' Hogan said that everybody in the arena checked their egos at the door when Curt was performing, as there was nobody in the world that was better. That's HOGAN saying that.
thats why we called him Mr. Perfect , he make perfect himself in every terms of wrestling like storytelling , pure wrestling , extreme realistic selling , best over selling and many more he can make you laugh and on other side he can make you angry , no one can't compare at his level of work
It wasn't in this video, but I saw Curt Hennig sell an atomic drop by doing this weird little forward and back pelvis wiggle. The audience laughed, it was great.
4:45 LMAO 🤣 And honestly, RVD could be number 1. Everytime he'd take an RKO, German Suplex or a DDT it really looked like he landed on his head and he'd bounce off the canvas. Jeff Hardy is also an underrated seller along with Bubba Ray Dudley.
My favorite Shawn Michaels oversell was at Wrestlemania V when he did a complete flip after a clothesline from Akeem. I had never seen anything like that at that point.
One of my favorite Wrestlemania moments. The combination of Shawn’s overselling the clothesline and Jesse Ventura’s deadpan reaction on the commentary (“I believe he irritated Akeem”) makes it hilariously perfect.
Lex Luger is definitely one of the more humorous oversellers. I always loved how he acted like he was getting utterly devastated with every single blow even chest slaps .
That one from triple H where shawn is blowing on him to make him fall over? That was the most hilarious clip ive ever seen. The longest oversell I have ever seen. And the shawn one versus hulk, that was just malicious compliance at its best, Hulk refuses to let there be a best of three where shawn wins one? Ok, shawn will make you seem like a physical god in the ring as the slightest chop sends him bouncing across the ring 3x before smashing to the ground and twitching. Enjoy your win.
LOL YES dude, its my favorite one too lol, its the way he walks out of that corner SO determined, like thats IT im gonna DO something! aaaand flop, LMAO , the best
This entire video had me rolling!!! 🤣🤣 How can any true wrestling fan not appreciate the pure genius of guys like Hall, Flair, Rock and the rest. They were all incredible. Damn, I miss how great wrestling was back in the day! Today it's almost unwatchable.
@@18Jordan.23 but his selling is not top notch, in fact its bloddy awful. He makes everying look fake and cartoonists. If you want to watch top notch selling watch tanahashi or ishii.
@@18Jordan.23 Dolph is a technical wrestler leagues above anyone from the 90s... He's just been held down because of Triple H's favoritism. Notable now more than ever when he went from a championship NXT 2.0 run into jobbing for Theory.
At 5:44... That REFREE'S head bouncing down over 3 ropes : top rope, middle rope, bottom rope than going down... That oversell was on ANOTHER LEVEL 🔥 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I saw all these wrestlers live many times. I was a kid I used to go backstage at WWF events from the late 80's into the early 90's so I got a peek behind the curtain (had connections). One story about Kurt Henning, who was a real pro. His gimmick of course was to come into the ring very confident with that straight back and smug look. He did his thing in the ring and did his walk back, but once behind the curtain and out of sight of the kids he just crumpled in severe pain with back and knee problems. I was pretty smart to the business as a kid, but when I saw the injuries and wear and tear on a strong guy like Henning, it made it very real to me. Most of the selling is just being to look like you're OK after 300 days on the road.
I myself did some Indie wrestling for about 10 years, I cannot call wrestling fake, I will call it entertainment, I will call it scripted, i will even say wrestlers are glorified stuntmen, but I wont call it fake, you feel every bump, every chair shot, every sliver from a broken table, the punches might be fake, but you can't fake gravity.
I love Greg The Hammer Valentine's faceplant. Occasionally he would do it perfectly where he didn't put his hands out in front. Just fearlessly drill his face into the matt like a railroad spike. Awesome.
The way people would sell the Stone Cold stunner was hilarious. They would either pop up in the air and fall, or just roll off Austin and lay on the mat.
Absolutely. They had control of the oversell though. Some wrestlers didn't "take care" of their opponents as well as others and accidents do happen, but at least for a few moments, the oversell had control and or could get a few moments to reset.
Thank you for recognizing the classic oversellers! You definitely have to make another list for those who want to see more recent wrestlers on this list! But this is awesome 😁
I love overselling because it's entertaining. That's why I love Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Ric Flair and Harley Race. Also Scott Hall and The Rock, Billy Gunn, Greg Valentine, Lex Luger, Brian Pillman, Triple H and even the GOAT Hulk Hogan had good overselling qualities
Im glad D-Von got the recognition he deserves on this, that leg shake is legendary selling, love the nod Xavier Woods gave to D-Von sellin the 3D like that
I love Scott Halls selling of the Stunner. It was like he hit his face, stood up and was basically "stunned." Lmfao. There wasn't any flip flopping Rock or Triple H selling, it was just a take it then stand as still as a board till he falls. Scott and Steve even played into this during their Wrestlemania 18 match, where he took the stunner how he normally did and stood there stunned, then Stone Cold flips him off and hits him with another. I know Steve Austin didnt want to work with Scott, or any of the nWo, but those 2 would have been PERFECT together in their primes. Let's say 97-99 Stone Cold and 96-97 Scott Hall, before Scott's demons were always brought up. But that would've been amazing
As a kid that suffered from seizures, I remember thinking that Flair was knocked out on his feet and that's why he walked then fell. I remember being concerned for him every time. Till my mother explained that it's not a real reaction. Lol
4:27 You might notice, Billy has turned "being on the receiving end of a clothesline" into an _offensive_ move. When he flips, he kicks his opponent with both legs.
I remember having arguments with my cousin as to what was the most painful Finishing move in wrestling. I always praised and defended the stunner due to how good Triple H and The Rock sold it.
I always did like Mr Perfect. Not his Curt Hennig stuff in WCW, WCW really made him stale though. Mr Perfect didn't even need the IC Belt to be great and that's the mark of a truly great performer 👍
I think Brock is one of the best sellers ever in terms of realism. HBK, Perfect, Hall - they were probably trying to make the guys in the locker room laugh, and it was certainly hilarious. I was laughing my butt off throughout this video.
When I was a kid I remember thinking that the Bushwackers must have had incredibly low pain thresholds. Their opponents would lightly tap them and they would collapse on the mat rolling around twitching.
IMO, the overselling is what makes pro wrestling so funny. This was a refreshing reminder as to why these names are on your list. Hennig was the best. Fun to see how the power of the stunner could be enhanced with various and different impacts! 🤣🤣
My favorite oversells were from Iiconics, especially Jessie (Billie Kay), who convulsed, shook, and flopped around as if burned by a hot iron, all while screeching and trying to find a way to cheat. Made Cassie corpse too... I really miss comedy tag teams now everything's so serious!
But the thing is that was entirely on purpose and wasn't meant to enhance the match; it was used to ridicule Hogan and it DID and we LOVED Michaels for it because it was well deserved.
Did you even read the text? He said Dolph ziggler RVD and Richochet have sells that are realistic compared to the humorous sells of the rest of the list.
Not gonna lie, I actually really like how Billy Gunn sells the Stunner. Everyone else puts a huge amount of effort and energy into flying as far back and/or as high as they can, whereas he just pancakes forward flat on his face, like he's actually been knocked out. Overselling it has kinda become a meme at this point, so I'm starting to really appreciate people who make it look like it's just sparked them out.
lol, 12:24 Perfect selling the chop by Benoit, and then nailing the back of his head on the steel steps. Dude was always trying his best to put over his opponents. He was always one of my favorite sellers (and wrestlers in general). I think the hair also helped with the selling
Great video! I laughed from the beginning to the end. Did you notice all these guys are Hall of Fame types? I agree with number one. Hennig was so good at selling, even his over-sells looked natural and flowed in the match.
Where Hulk Hogan appears hitting the commentator in Spanish, years ago on a RUclips channel he mentioned that that moment was not faked, Hulk Hogan hit him so hard that he fainted, When you continue watching the program with the comments in Spanish, he no longer appears why they had to attend him medically.
The best selling I ever saw was Little Spike Dudley in his wars with Mike Awesome. Although wars is perhaps not quite right word, technically they were massacres. And I wouldn’t call it over-selling. It might not even have been selling. It looked bloody real.
Are you kidding me? No Ziggy? How in the world did DZ not make this list? Hennig is one of my all-time favorites, but Ziggler should have topped him in selling.

If you look at Steve Austin's face in some of his matches with The Rock you can see him smiling and laughing at Rock's sells
they made beer bets before the matches, on who could oversell the most
Rock and Austin are friends off the ring.
Especially at 8:20 he’s got a big smile on his face when he goes for the pin lmao
@@nathanboyer80 no. the best was to see if Rock could break Austin by his selling of the Stunner.
even Earl Hebner is laughing
Special recognition to RVD. He oversold damage from his own moves to the point where the frog splash hurt him more than his opponent.
😁
It looked like he was in pain from administering it, whereas the guy on the receiving end was simply dead
@carmine redd hell awaits you my friend :D
@carmine redd thats not funny 😂😂
@carmine redd AYO
@carminereddyou need to be stopped
Sometimes you forget how good of a seller Brock Lesnar is because of his “powerhouse” booking. But when he does sell, he makes moves look good.
He sold the hell out of takers choke slam
For those of you who were hoping to see the likes of Dolph Ziggler, RVD and Ricochet on this list, I felt that they sell in a more realistic fashion, so I would put them in a different category, i.e. they make you feel as though they are legitimately hurt.

Ahh true say
0:10 I wouldn’t call Dolph Ziggler doing a full front flip “realistic,” though that looked really cool lol
we need that list asap
I think I would put ziggler at the billy gunn spot. He's rude, perfect and HBK good in his selling and he oversells. But it's not my list.

At 8:20 you can see Austin grinning and the crazy sell by Rock , their chemistry in ring was always so entertaining to watch XD
Santino Morella deserves at least an honorable mention. His oversells were funny

Dude straight died, went limp, died again, fell to the floor and died again
Respect to MR Perfect even with a damaged back he was still willing to oversell to put Bret Hart over
Yes, we heard it
You do know overselling is the exact opposite of "putting someone over," right??
Agreed! Curt Hennig was ahead of his time, he's influenced some of the greatest of all time

The hand was probably prescribed by his neurosurgeon.

Or there’s Vince McMahon at WM 😂🤣
@@CoffeeMatt10 that was classic, how could I forget that 🤣
I always loved the pop up ones. Like Austin was a springboard or something
Am I just naïve or is it not possible they could potentially hurt themselves with the oversell just as much as the move itself?
Yep, some of those are dangerous
Absolutely. They had control of the oversell though. Some wrestlers didn't "take care" of their opponents as well as others and accidents do happen, but at least for a few moments, the oversell had control and or could get a few moments to reset.
The story I heard about the Rock overselling the Stunner is that the first time he did it, he was trying to get a laugh out of the Undertaker.
No. That's the elbow.

12:22 Mr.Perfect moonwalk selling Flairs low blow is amazing
3:50 😂
Literally got that gif saved
Great video! I laughed from the beginning to the end. Did you notice all these guys are Hall of Fame types? I agree with number one. Hennig was so good at selling, even his over-sells looked natural and flowed in the match.
amazing and entertaining video. RIP Mr. Hennig & Richard Rood 🙏🙇♀
I'm over here rolling 😂 this is so great!!
Good efforts mate. Must have taken alot of editing time. Kudos from a fellow brit who grew up on wwf/wwe
For the entry on The Rock after he takes the stunner at Wrestlemania X7 you can see Austin looks to be laughing and smiling as he runs for the pin
This was an extremely fun video to watch!!! Thank you, you made my week!!
1:27 Jerry’s thinking “what am I doing right now man” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott Hall selling Austin's Stunner at WM 18. Incredible.
That ref making sure his head hit all 3 ropes was GOLD 😂
Man this put a smile on my face...great vid
Its nice to see some of the originators of some of the sells you love to see today
Where Hulk Hogan appears hitting the commentator in Spanish, years ago on a RUclips channel he mentioned that that moment was not faked, Hulk Hogan hit him so hard that he fainted, When you continue watching the program with the comments in Spanish, he no longer appears why they had to attend him medically.
The ref @ 5:45😂 IDK why that got me so bad.🤣
The best selling I ever saw was Little Spike Dudley in his wars with Mike Awesome. Although wars is perhaps not quite right word, technically they were massacres. And I wouldn’t call it over-selling. It might not even have been selling. It looked bloody real.
So glad you included Billy Gunn
The fact that HHH and the rock competed on overselling the stunner is amazing
Are you kidding me? No Ziggy? How in the world did DZ not make this list? Hennig is one of my all-time favorites, but Ziggler should have topped him in selling.
