Biggest Undersellers

Recommended Posts

Guest Kid Kablam

Well I would say Paul Roma, but that was just for his match wioth Alex Wright. Undertaker of course comes to mind. Then of course there are those who try to seel, but can't, like Mark Henry.

My vote goes to 'Taker. He didn't get the nickname "The Underseller" for no reason.

Just watched Survivor Series 95 again..... Undertaker came back with that weird looking mask on and destroyed everyone. He no sold everything and killed everyone.

Ha. I'm determined to mention someone else...hmm. Well hhh and the rock have both pretty much no-sold attempted murders, but they have been known to sell actual wrestling moves now and again, that's eluded ol' Calloway thus far.

I didn't mind the Undertaker's no-selling when it was part of the 'dead man' gimmick, but once he dropped it for the American Bad Ass character, the no-selling should have gone with it.

I remember in the second Angle/henry match, Angle worked the ankle the whole time, Henry sudenly stands up and does a body press, and Tazz is finding like everyway he can to say "Henry should really be selling."

Zeus. At least Taker would fall down.

I can only count two occassions when Zeus fell down.

 

1. Summerslam '89.

 

2. Uncensored '96, with the Dungeon of Doom.

It's really unfair to say Taker. The no-selling was part of his character, and let's face it... the zombie sit-ups were pretty damn cool.

Terry Funk taking chair shots and asking for more...

 

Taker's was part of his gimmick as Deadman so I won't count him so much. Same goes for Zeus.

 

Biggest undersell- HBK going through the table at Badd Blood. I watched it again the other day, and it's the singal biggest bump in the WWF at that point...and he's up almost as soon as Taker gets up. He's dragged around, but he doesn't look like someone who's dropped halfway off HIAC through the table.

 

Or this one time when someone(think it was Sting near the end of WCW) got put through a table on Nitro, and got STRAIGHT back up. Stign didn't seel that much towards the end.

That was on WCW's Australian Tour.

 

Jeff Jarrett came out dressed like the old Stinger and called Sting out. Sting decended from the rafters only to be jumped by Jarrett who then put him through a table which was set up in the ring. Sting instantly sprung back up and did his Hogan-no-sell job before locking JJ in the Deathlock.

 

Stinger's IMMORTAL, brother!

Underseller, hands down.

 

The no-sell routine was fine when he used the deadman gimmick, but he's not using that now, he's using a more realistic gimmick and persona, and his selling should reflect this.

Yeah but the point was that Funk was a nut.... which he is. He is after all still wrestling, so the nut part isn't that much of an exageration.
