Who is the best at "selling"?

I always thought Tommy Dreamer was good at selling. Kevin Steen is probably the best in ROH, which isn't saying much since selling doesn't happen much in the indies.

Shawn Michaels is pretty good at selling but he always looks like he got hit with a truck which sometimes is good and other times is bad.

Randy Orton is really great at selling, watch Royal Rumble 2005 his match against Triple H and you'll see great selling of a concussion.

Rob Van Dam flops too much after a move but the way he takes a move is amazing like how he took the RKO. But a sell is more than taking the move.

Foley was great at selling but a lot of the times he wasn't really "selling" he was actually hurt.

I like Christopher Daniel's selling, but I like his everything (make the gay jokes if you will).

I think the best person a "selling" is...

Samoa Joe.

Which is the strangest thing because for the majority of his career he's been booked as an unstopable killing machine but when a wrestler does get to him he sells it just right. Their have been many times where he's sold a injury so well I thought he was legit hurt only to find out he was fine. He also is able to put a rage behind his sell as if not only he's hurt but he's also pissed that he's hurt.

Joe in 2003-2004 was so incredible to watch because of this. He made people believe in wrestlers who had no chance of winning.
