10 Most Ridiculous WWE Oversells
There have been at least 10 historically ridiculous WWE oversells
The realistic selling of moves is key to helping fans suspend their disbelief while watching WWE programming.
And while there’s a place for overselling (and for that matter no-selling), sometimes the overselling of moves takes the viewer out of the moment and reminds them that this really is just grown men fighting in their underwear after all.
Other times, however, the oversell (ridiculous as it may be) works in the moment and helps an otherwise routine segment or match stand out.
These are the 10 Most Ridiculous WWE Oversells.
10. Triple H After Randy Orton's Boot
While oversells on live WWE television are rare, wrestlers are more likely to let loose and goof off on a non-televised house show or during a post-show dark match designed to entertain the live crowd after a taping.
Case in point, Triple H.
The Cerebral Assassin teamed with Ric Flair to take on Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton in a tag bout after the January 14, 2005, episode of Raw was over.
Thankfully, WWE’s cameras were still rolling and the match made its way to the 2014 DVD release ‘The Best of Raw After the Show’.
We say thankfully because that has meant that Triple H’s prolonged oversell has been captured for posterity.
While he was taking a beating, The Legend Killer countered The Game’s flying jump with a raised boot to the face. This brutal strike caused Hunter to teeter on the verge of collapse for an entire minute, as Michaels looked on quizzically from the ring apron.
It appeared as though Trips had shrugged it off and went to make the tag…only to Flair Flop as a punchline.
