10 Most Ridiculous WWE Oversells

There have been at least 10 historically ridiculous WWE oversells

1. Everyone after Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stunner

Scott hall wrestlemania 18 oversell

The Stone Cold Stunner is one of the most devastatingly effective finishers in professional wrestling history. 

When Steve Austin hit the move, nine times out of ten it would signal the end of the match (and the start of a beer bath). 

Simple but brilliant, the move looked its best when it was being taken by, say, someone like Bret Hart, who acted like his jaw had been broken upon impact. 

This is how the Stunner was usually sold early on. Over time, however, it became almost something of a running contest among WWE stars to see who could sell it in the most overblown way. 

There was The Rock, of course, who would habitually roll around the ring, kicking his body up so that he often ended up lying in the ropes. 

Then there were the likes of Scott Hall, Shane McMahon, Santino Marella, Xavier Woods, Austin Theory and a tonne of others who took the move by launching themselves backwards into the air. Booker T was once eliminated from the Royal Rumble due to the sheer force of the Stunner he took.
