These take some beating.

Where's the one where Shane oversold the Stunner and flew over the top rope?

I love the Scott Hall one. :P

I'm not sure if it's an oversell, but I remember RVD giving Dreamer a sick piledriver.

I can't find it on YouTube, but I have the World's Greatest Managers DVD with a clip of Bobby Heenan in AWA overselling a punch to the face (a second late) by doing a sort of sideways flying cartwheel across the ring. :rofl:

Oh and BTW that is how a stunner SHOULD be sold. :y:

cristian cage selling having his head slammed apron BEFORE Stiener even slammed him.

This is about over selling. Not botching.

Rock selling the Stunner is always rofl

Remember when Linda McMahon oversold the stunner? :shifty:

RVD when he does the frogsplash.

That Michaels one is fucking priceless. That has got to be the best one. And when he oversold the Big Boot as well. :rofl:

I got the feeling that Michaels was overselling all of Hogan's offense just to make him look like an ass. :rofl:

It was the other way around. It was sick though.

The best oversell of all time is The Rock selling the last Stone Cold stunner at Wrestlemania 15. Priceless. Thought of it immediately when I saw this thread title.

D-von Dudley oversold alot of chair shots etc in ECW. Check it out if you can find it on youtube.

Yeah, he'd stand there and slowly collapse and then have spasms or summit.

So, the Rock has no spine then? As in literally, no vertebrae at all?

I'm gonna have to go with Razor...

Oh shit, you're right. RVD went flying a couple of feet into the air...definate holy shit or wtf moment, depending on the mood you're in.

Found it. :y:

Rock did a similar sell when Farooq gave him a Piledriver on the ramp.

Rock always sells the Stunner awesomely. My favorite is the one from WM15 where he sort of rolled head-over-feet.

Yeah, that's an oversell alright. Or else RVD has smoked so much his head is just full of air.

Overselling is good, but what about comical underselling? You know so much where it is hilarious? I think Owen was the master at that.

Owen is probably no-selling Sheik's camel cluth in heaven right now, and Davey Boy Smith is laughing his ass off at it.

Damn, you beat me to the Owen/Davy Boy line.

I beat a lot of people to a lot of things.

That RVD bump is amazing.

Post more animated gifs.

Also, HBKs is fucking hilarious.

RVD always sold piledrivers amazingly.

Does anyone have a gif of HBK over selling Hogan's big boot of death?

Edit: Never mind...

<font color=white>If he left out the backward roll/push my self up bit, that'd have been brilliant.</font>

So does Val Venis.

:rofl:

Tremendous

I love how for a minute, Hogan is oblivious to the fact that HBK is making him look like a fool.

<font color=white>Came across this a few weeks ago.

Now seems a great time to post it.

:D</font>

ROFL that video is tremendous.

This clip doesn't show McMahon spasming and glaring at the ceiling after this stunner. It was brilliant.

Rock's and Regal's oversells are always pretty awesome.

Donald Trump oversold the Stunner at WrestleMania. You know, he must have been out for over ten seconds. Way to make wrestling look bad, Trump :shifty:

ROFFL!!! :rofl: :rofl:

thats the greates fucking thing ive ever seen

lol Shawn is the man

LMAO HBK is such a dick. Hillarious though.

I was at the show!

scott hall's sell is my favourite of all time.

I also liked Shane McMahon's selling of the stunner @ WM

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!! HBK can definitely be a dick, but whe it's do a bigger dick, all I can do is laugh like hell. That's some hysterical overselling there.

THE ASS PUNCH!

Funny but it also shows just how much of a childish little cunt Michaels really is. Anyone else probably would have got some form of punishment for doing that.

Fuckin rofl at that hbk vid

He was made to job to a talentless old man at the second biggest show of the year. Hogan has made an absolute joke out of himself; all Michaels did was provide a punchline we can actually LAUGH at.

Michaels said more with that performance than he ever could have with a mic. :y:

LMFAO at 1:00 in Oversellous. That's the most ridiculous selling I've ever seen. The rest of the cartoon cartwheels were great, too.

Anyone got that full match? I want to see how bad it really was...

And? Last i checked "doing the job" is part of the business. He could have declined to go into the angle with hogan, with the amount of times michaels has been clamped to vince's balls over the last lot of years i sure he coulda got out of it if he had wanted. But nope, instead of putting on a match he puts on a farce, who suffers? The people who paid to watch it, while Michaels ego gets another stroke.

That's exactly what a Hogan match always is anyway, a bunch of over-selling because Hogan can't do shit.

Funny ive been watching wrestling for 20+ years and seen an assload of hogan matches and ive yet to see any with that amount of overselling.

Michaels = unprofessional little crybaby. He needs to stop throwing his fucking rattle out of his pram and grow a pair of balls instead of crying like a whore getting it up the ass from a donkey.

So what, you think it would have been BETTER if Michaels just laid there for ten minutes after every move?

Obviously not, but it would have been beter if he'd at least sold the moves realistically without the added dramatics of flipping for somthing as simple as a head being hit into a padded turnbuckle. Ive never seen anyone sell a boot by falling down getting back up twirling around again and falling down. And like i said anyone else would have received some form of punishment for it, so michaels can toss his rattle out of his pram and get away with it.

How do you know he wasn't told to sell like that?

Not saying he was, but that doesn't mean it's not possible that he was told to do it.

Its possible but to me it just smacked of his old attitude reaffirming itself (at least for that match).

How anyone can not just laugh at that video of HBK/Hogan is beyond me. Why get so serious about it?

I thought it was funny but at the same time when summerslam 05 was on i expected a match and not some bible bashing arsehole to just flop about a few times

:y:

Shawn put up a number of ideas that would all have had Hogan going over at SummerSlam. One including him beating Hogan in a completely dirty finish, with Hogan getting the revenge win at SS. What irritates me, and what irritated Michaels, was that the entire thing HAD to be done Hogan's way from the get-go, which oh just happened to be the way that made him look the best.

Yeah, and if he'd have done that you'd just have more ammo to call him a crybaby.

A) All of Hogan's matches since his loss to Lesnar back in '02 have been farces.
B) It seems to me that a lot of people enjoyed the match BECAUSE of Shawn's performance. His overselling isn't going to hurt marks, who are more likely to think "OMGLOOK HOW GR8 HOGAN STILL IZ!" and the overselling amuses a large part of the IWC.

Well, when you're told to job to someone who doesn't work full time you would take the piss to.

Considering:

a) the "sport" is a work. Wins and loses really mean dick in the grand scheme of things.

b) If my boss is telling me to do something i'll do it.

c) Win or lose either way im still being paid.


i doubt very much id be pissed. :)

And because that info was apparently floating about online it MUST be correct like everything else on the internet? All we'll ever know is how the match that took place panned out, unless michaels talks about it in a shoot interview. And even then michaels is not exactly immune to talking complete bollocks even with his new found faith.

So all backstage information we recieve is a non-issue in these arguments unless we have personal confirmation from the people involved? That would eliminate most if not all of the discussions on the internet.

Backstage info isn't always accurate. I just doubt the info would go into detail like how the matches would pan out and in what way they'd be won. If they did brock would not be pleased. :)

Wins or losses don't mean dick in terms of a conventional sense like baseball or football, but they do mean something. If you lose every night you're Brooklyn Brawler. If you win every match you're Bill Goldberg. It has to do with kayfabe and fan perception, and your level of push. Which reflects how well you are able to get over and thus how you're paid. It's also a level of respect and value from the company.
If they didn't matter, nobody would care if Taker's win streak is snapped or no, nor would they be bitching their heads off when someone gets "jobbed out" on television, or the opposite when Triple H wins.
It matters in a way, not comparable to legitimate sporting events, but in a business and entertainment sense.

With that being said, HBK should have won the match. Hogan didn't need it and wasn't still on the roster and working future programs. HBK was a company guy for years and years despite what you say about his backstage antics, he was a company guy. Hogan gets his way despite being a cancer, a sneak and a lunatic and being gone all those years while Shawn was busting his ass to be the only draw and credible star on the goddamn roster. Not to mention it does nothing for Hogan's career or legacy, and Shawn has to go forward with his role as a top guy and instrument for putting young guys over effective the next night on Raw.

Wins matter.

RING THE BELL!!!

Good God Undertaker has lost weight.

:-\ wasnt what i expected... I was hoping that shawn made the entire match like that... he wasnt too bad in overselling

That's not the Undertaker, that's the Saigon whore that bit my nose off!!!

First of all, sign that little girl.

And secondly, yeah, you're right. It doesn't seem as bad when you watch the whole match.

Also, Michaels over-selling has always entertained me. See HHH/HBK versus LOD from the Monday Night War dvd. Maybe technically not alot of over-selling, but a bit more over-the-top than normal.

Michaels's turnbuckle-flipover move has always been gold.

Nash was trying to undersell, but Hogan stiffed him.

Nash is lucky that didn't cause him serious injury. That move would have killed Goldberg, you know.

Nash is the only person tough enough to take that kind of tourture and live.

Just in reference to point b...I wonder how willingly you'd do what your boss had told you if you knew that in reality it was a fellow employee who was pulling the strings.

A fellow employee that only comes to work once a year and who no-doubt would earn more from this one show than you would.

Besides he did what his boss told him. He went out there and lay down for Hogan.

I think HBK was well within his rights to play around a little.

i doubt very much that i'd NOT be pissed. ;)

LOL.

What is he trying to do, a shooting star from a standing position?

And he may have missed, but damn, that very ability to do that is pretty impressive.

He didn't miss it, he chopped Carlito in the head.

Now see, if Scotty 2 Hotty had finished the Worm like THAT, it would have been awesome.

Incidentally, on the subject of oversells, I remember Jeff Jarrett doing a double-backflip sort of deal selling a Chuck Norris kick at the Undertaker/Yokozuna casket rematch. Pretty wild.

He wasn't selling it. He was stiffed and that's what happens when the roundhouse connects

That couldn't have been a stiff. Everybody knows that when Chuck Norris roundhouses you, you die so hard you end up never having existed. :shifty:

Well the wind from the kick must have done that, because I can ensure you the reaction was legitimate.

Chuck Norris was taking it easy on him. In reality Chuck meant to ask him nicely to get out of the ring, but somehow it turned into a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris. Jeff is lucky he's still alive today.

Chuck needs to sue the Undertaker for gimmick infringement. Taker since WMXX has been pretty much Chuck Norris as he was that night.

Oh and incidentally, speaking of overselling, Vince McMahon was the biggest oversell commentator on the planet.
