He even sold Kerry Von Erich's pitiful discus punch finisher with a somersault. What a great guy.

I've always loved how Yoko would sell like mad just as he was about to fall over, then act as though he was hit by a train when he eventually went down.

 

Yokozuna was the coolest, I miss him.

Overall it has to be Curt Hennig. But he sold to make his opponents look awesome(sometimes too awesome).

 

The funniest sell's the Flair Flop, and it's over. I mean whenever Flair does it you can see he's trying not to smile at the pop it gets. D-Von's seizure's funny too.

 

But seriously, the biggest oversell I ever saw was omn Velocity when Albert lost to Crash with a School Boy...one of the weakest roll ups ever that wouldn't have even kept down someone small like Shark Boy supposedly kept down a 400+pound guy. My parents were watching with me, and they kept going on about how fake it looked...

Flair's overall actions as a manger are so over the top. A punch or a slap and he goes out of the ring twitching.

D-Von Dudley.

Couldn't agree with you anymore there mate, the way he sold chair shots made you think he was working for Warner Brothers or something ..

Rock. He made that crappy spear by Goldberg appear lethal.

Without a doubt flair, his is just fun to watch, the only reason to stay tuned in during a triple H match os to se Flair get hit so you can see him sell like mad.

Bobby Heenan used to do these crazy mid air spins taking punches and some outlandish over the top rope stuff.

The only time I ever saw Curt wrestle live, it was last January, opening dark match before a Smackdown taping vs Randy Orton. He made Randy Orton look like god for the first 5 minutes before sneaking away with the perfect plex for the victory. And this was a long time before Randy was on tv.

I remeber Gunn sold the nastiest Clothesline from Hell . I think this is when there was that rights for Dx thing goin on . Gunn liked flipped and rolled off Bradshaws back. Quite devestating!!!

Overselling announcer: David Crockett

Overselling wrestler: Definitely Curt Hennig but honorable mention goes to Jimmy Valiant, Ric Flair, and the old Georgia/Alabama jobber Mike Jackson...that guy would have made Tiger Ali Singh look like a million bucks...

Overselling referee: Jerry Calhoun (Memphis legend)

Overselling manager: Yeah, Heenan took some crazy bumps...even for the Red Rooster (sorry, Terry!).

I always wanted to see Billy Gunn take a Faarooq spinebuster, bounce up, and land on his feet only to get his spine busted again.

 

And for all the talk about D-von's convulsions, let's not forget the original king of twitch: The Iron Sheik.

 

Also, Amazing Red has had some gems, like selling the cradle piledriver off the ropes with a forward flip onto his feet into a Flair flop.

Arn Anderson oversold pretty well. Someone would hit him, he'd walk around dazed, throw a wicked punch that would miss by a mile since he was nowhere near his opponent, then he would fall flat on his face.

Arn at least knew when to do that.. the War Games was perfect timing as Dusty had been on the offense for three out of the first five minutes in the cage....

 

The Rock is responsible for the Stone Cold Stunner sell in SYM.. it always cracks me up to see the victim of that move roll three-quarters of the way around the ring before finally coming to rest...

 

Flair was the king of selling and sometimes overselling... Rock is the master of it now... Benoit is good at it.... The first time I saw Bret take that chest-first turnbuckle bump, I thought he had crushed his sternum....

 

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Savage, especially against Hogan back in the day....

 

The Iron Sheik's convulsions in the middle of the ring were just hilarious.

 

When it was time for him to get beat down Duggan was pretty decent at selling that he was dead.... like when Savage dropped like 5 or 6 top rope elbows on him, for a second I though Savage had killed him....
