Shinsuke does kinda stop selling, but selling during the length of a match anymore is becoming a lost art. More people don't than do anymore. More about writers telling the stories with words (promos and announcers squabbling) than the wrestlers doing so with actions and such.
And he does everything else so goddamn well. I even find his disjointed promos oddly appealing- it doesn't so much seem like he has trouble speaking English as it just looks like forming words is physically painful for him to do. I'm sure that this totally looks like I'm slagging off on him, and I'm not. Its... different. It's more like a unique character tic than a detriment.
If Cena can get up from being dead on a bare floor for 9 seconds to beat a 10 count then rally and beat 3 men consecutively, nobody will honestly shed tears for Shinsuke's miraculous, Wolverine-like healing ability.
