10 Most Ridiculous WWE Oversells

8. Rob Van Dam after a Piledriver

While Rob Van Dam is noted for his athleticism, laid-back demeanour and snazzy airbrushed singlets, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the man could sell his bottom off when the occasion called for it. 

Always one to push the boundaries, RVD would habitually take moves like DDTs and German Suplexes by landing right on top of his head and neck. 

But The Whole F’N Show reserved his most audacious F’N sell for when he was hit with a piledriver. 

Anyone who had Limewire in the early 2000s will be familiar with the clip of Van Dam taking a piledriver from Tommy Dreamer at ECW November to Remember 1997. 

Bouncing about three feet in the air upon impact, it was hard not to be impressed by the springiness of it all. It was equally as impressive when Van Dam did it again in WWE’s rebooted ECW a decade later. 

During an Extreme Rules four-way on the May 1, 2007, episode of ECW on SyFy, The Innovator of Violence and Mr. Tuesday Night ran it back seamlessly, albeit to a fraction of the reaction the original received.
