Well, the initial Michaels 1995 angle was more believable since it was one of the first angles I recall that blurred storyline with reality. The Syracuse incident was well documented and the way the match went down seemed like something very different had happened. Owen deserves credit for his own selling since he was shocked that HBK went down like a ton of bricks. He wasn't TRYING to seriously injure anyone...it just happened.

 

That's the major difference with that angle and this Orton stuff. Orton is desperately trying to hit guys in the head and cause a concussion. Concussions just happen with no rhyme or reason, it's hard to set out to give someone a concussion.

A good concussion "sell" is Kurt Angle at Summerslam 2000, mainly because he really was completely out of it thanks to the "botched" Pedigree from Hunter.

 

Considering he was knocked the fuck out, there wasn't really much selling needed there
