I don't get how HBK is so great for overselling in that match though. If you actually watch the match (like I did) from start to finish you'll see how he doesn't make Hogan look like an ass.
He's great for overselling because it was a slap in the face to Hogan, who has spent years slapping everyone including the business in the face. It's also great because, I believe, Hogan made some remarks about Shawn not being a great wrestler and only flopping around a lot. So again, it's a big 'fuck you'
There was also a whole bunch of Terry Bolea the Hulkster nonsense involved with that match and build backstage and Hogan being a peice of shit.
If it was in any way unprofessional of Shawn, which it wasn't, it's a subtle rebuttal for the vast unprofessionalism of Hogan at that point of time, not to mention countless times before.
