seeing all this celebs doing so well, I start to think maybe wrestling isn't that hard.

WrestleMania 38 really gave us two of the best stunner sells, and the best worst one of all time. Loved that segment!

I really really really REALLY think McAfee's stunner sell was one of the best ever. The way he pops up board straight and just keeps going backwards all while spraying beer. 10/10.

I'm so annoyed Pat McAfee's recent stunner isn't getting more love. The sell was absolutely perfect: popped up fast but fell like a sack of hammers, all while spitting beer. Then drinks on the floor outside. Brilliant.

I mean the Tombstone is, more often than not, a move in which the opponent is gently lowered to the floor while the person giving it is extremely careful not to actually hit their head on the canvas (understandably and rightfully so). I do love it, and undertaker, but that was always a drawback.

I would imagine it's because that same sell has been done several dozen times. Nothing special about it besides that it was a non-wrestler managing to do it really well.

One of my favourite Stunner sells of all time is by Santino Marella (RAW, November 5, 2007). The angle that led up to it was dumb (essentially a multi-week advertisement for Austin's movie The Condemned), but the salute Santino gives on the way down (plus some pretty impressive hangtime) is absolutely worth checking out. Also, that dress Maria wore that night...damn.

Pat McAfee not being on this list for a top 5 best is criminal, simply criminal

My favorite rock stunner is the same as Adam's actually. It's genuinely fantastic seeing Austin sizing him up as he slowly but surely pitches forward back to Austin. And shane/randy deserve to be up near the top. Just magnificent looking. Though in my mind, you were kind of harsh on Austin theory's because I think it was great all around, glad it at least got a mention.

McAfee needed at least an honorable mention here. Lost in the Rock-esque Theory sell and the Vince thing was Pat having a master class on taking the move and then just having a frat boy time on the floor outside.

For its significance, I thought I could see the Stunner to HBK at WM14. Aside from the title win, we had a Stunner attempt, reversed in a SCM attempt, reversed in the proper Stunner for the win (and that fantastic "HE GOT HIM!!!"). A epic moment, I'd say. Anyway, great list as always👏👏👏

I agree. Seth Rollins sold the stunner from Owens at Mania 36 like Foley used to. Didn’t make a mockery of it at all just dropped to his knees then rolled onto his back like it killed him

I think part of the reason Austin's 2000 return involved giving Shane the Stunner 3 times was because, according to Austin's book, nobody sold it better than Shane. So after a year without any Stunners, it makes sense he'd want it to look as good as possible. And it really did. One of my favourite segments of all time.

Nearly every stunner Angle sells .. he's the best at taking the stunner, it actually looks real. HHH from Unforgiven was always a favourite also.

I like Paul Heyman selling the stunner. Taking the impact and then just going completely limp and maybe unconcious. I think that is the most realistic way of selling it.

@ArchangelSteve

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, same. There's just something about landing with a splat on your back and just lying there still that makes the Stunner look amazing, and like it's actually knocked someone out for a moment. Comedy selling like The Rock's is fine now and then, but most times you want the Stunner to look like it's ended the opponent, and that's the best way to do it.

My favourite stunner sell is Pat McAfee at this past mania. Just how he takes it, stands straight back up vertically with beer spitting out of his mouth and he just drops dead on his back. Perfection

I hope, if you decide to give him a chance, that you will like him and the videos. Also, he continues some of the things Adam started, like calling Goldberg his father, similar to how Adam called Eric Bischoff his. And is also as passionate about wrestling, as Adam, or maybe even more, like as Adam was before. Or maybe it's just me thinking that he ain't as passionate, as he once was.

Honestly Pat McAfee's stunner sell was absolutely perfect! I know the beer spray has been done before but I just love how he pops up straight, shoots beer out as he tips over. I thought it was absolutely wonderful! Plus the crowd during that entire match and segment was hotter then hell it's self!

Linda McMahon’s stunner will always be one of the best

I feel that pat McAfee at Mania 38 could easily have been on this list it was so simple yet so perfect at the same time

In an extra on Steve Austin's DVD, he actually says that Shane McMahon is his favourite person to give the Stunner to because he sells it so well.

Theory's sell reminded me of a coked up Orton from Survivor Series 2003.

I wanna see a list of the 10 Best Jobbers! Watching guys like Shawn Dean, Lee Johnson, Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler, and especially Fuego Del Sol on AEW make me love them despite or *because* they lose every single goddamn time, has given me a real appreciation for the art of getting your ass kicked.

@King_Dragmire

2 жыл бұрын

I think the reason why we like those jobbers is because they still get, albiet brief, moments to shine. Like how Fuego started to take on the House of Black solo and he actually was holding his own for a brief second. Or how Shawn Dean may be a complete jobber on camera but is really good on the Dark shows but still has technical wins over MJF and Shawn Spears which is great for an underdog cheer. Plus Brandon and Peter Avalon had that fantastically stupid and silly losers feud that led to the best call Justin Roberts has ever done.

The Rock's gymnastics style of selling the Stunner will forever be hilarious to me 😂😅

I can now imagine Oli Davis kicking my door down, hitting me with a stunner, climbing on my sofa, middle fingers in the air, and gets thrown two mugs of weak-ass tea

The Stunner is such a good finisher. You’ve said it before but that kick gives you exactly enough time to get hyped for it, then the impact with the pop and the sell is probably the most important part. It can either make or break the aftermath depending on how you take it. Also, Pat with the beer spray is absolutely amazing.

Santino Marella deserves an honorable mention. The salute after getting stunned is comedy! 😂😂😂

Adam! Great list as always. The best ever stunner sell came in an episode of RAW in January of 2002 by Triple H, in the segment hyping the Royal Rumble. He takes a perfect side full flip, you need to check it out and remake this video man. Another good one is Sergeant Slaughter before IYH Rock Bottom in 1997

Thank you Adam! I swore to God I thought I was the only one who thought Shane McMahon had the best stunner sell. I knew there was a reason I liked you, lol.

The way Scott Hall takes it always makes me wince, there's something about how he bends his back that just looks really painful. I know he's not the only person to take it like that, but there's a reason most people drop to one knee...

As a lifelong CT resident, I very much enjoyed the constant references to unelectable Linda, Adam. Nicely done.

Santino's sell deserves an honourable mention at least. The way he jumps and salutes during the sell is so good

Never forget the Santino one where he popped up and saluted on his way back. That was a classic

My number 1 is your favourite from the Rock. The framing from Austin is straight comedy and I love it.

Great Video!!

Thank you for number 10, you've done it Adam. You came full circle.

Scott hall's selling was the smoothest of them all...it actually feels like if he had springs instead of legs

Kurt Angle is criminally underrated when it comes to taking the stunner.

I gotta throw McAfee from Mania 38 in there, and then Santino Marella's goofy salute while he sells a stunner is just brilliant

Kurt Angle’s stunner sell at Vengeance 2001!!! Drops to one knee then stands up dead straight and slowly falls back

The Stunners that Kurt Angle would take where he'd go to a knee, pop back up, and just fall backwards like a tree that's just been chopped down were superb

Here’s the greatest stunner ever sold!!! But instead look at our playlist of other wrestling lists!!! Love the video Adam, keep up the amazing entertainment

Fantastic!

My favourite funny stunner is Santino Marella when he pops up after the move and does a salute in mid air, makes me chuckle every time!

Not even an Honourable mention to The Stunner he gave to Santino back in 2007? FOR SHAME. Santino giving an Army salute in mid air never fails to make me laugh

The One Winged Angel is my favorite finishing move. I love the fact that no one uses it but Kenny Omega and Hangman that one time.

Great stunner sells sorta can be placed under a spectrum from "great pro wrestling sells" to "great sports entertainment sells", and it goes - Bret ("real-ish") > Triple H (bounces but not all the way boingy-like) > Scott Hall (heading into sports entertainment levels of boing) > Shane (perfect bounce, not so much post-stun flop) > Rock (bounce with obligatory over the top post-stun flop) All legendary in their own right, just a matter of taste and preference. I would say Theory's pays homage to Rock's but with even more sell on the initial bounce and post-stun flop. McAfee's pretty interesting too. I likened it to a cartoon getting Kabonged on the head, seeing stars before dropping off.

Absolutely agree with the number 1 best. Shane turning around with beer spraying out of his mouth is just the perfect image.

Oh come on! How can you forget Santino Marrella selling it. It was glorious! After Austin hits it on him, he flies way back and as he’s flying, he does a salute in mid air then comes crashing down. It is Unforgivable you left that out.

Enjoyed that list. Now with RKOs, please 😁

The best stunner was the friends we made along the way.

Honorable mention to Pat McAfee. For a non-wrestler he sold it like a champion at Mania.

My favorite is when Shane gets stunnered and salutes as he’s flying back in the air. Hilarious

Santino’s salute on the way to the ground will never fail to make me laugh.

Pat Mcafees sell is criminally under-rated

The stunner the Rock gave to Austin before WM X7 is one of the greatest sells of the move ever.

You can’t forget the stunner on santino Marella the salute while he was flying through the air made it 10x funnier

the tim white one made me lol, the way adam talked about it was great too.

I’m surprised Santino Marella’s salute didn’t make the list of best stunners.

"real hair Vs fictional hair" might just be the funniest thing I've ever heard

This list was perfect

Proud to say that the worst Stone Cold Stunner was a day before I was born. Vince took it on the 29th of October 2001, and on the 30th I entered the world. That’s pretty cool

"If you'd like us to afford enough milk so Oli is stunned by even the slightest taste of tea in his cup, be sure to subscribe!" The horse may be dead, but my therapist said it's better to beat it than a live one to work on my anger issues.

PFK is one of the few pro-wrestling channels where they get me to laugh at their Memes. Great editing.

OMG YES!!! I thought I was the only person who remembered the god-awful stunner Vince took in October 2001. Easily the worst stunner ever!!

Need a list like this for the RKO and Sweet Chin Music.

The stunner into the belt shot is my absolute favorite!

Not sure if the Santino Saluting Stunner is worthy of an honourable or dishonourable mention but man, it was rather unique

The stunner to Kane on raw to win back the title was BRUTAL 😂

It’s criminal how under appreciated and undervalued William Regal is. If you know, you know.

“Linda McMahon is a possum-a wily, unelectable possum.” Wonderful.

Unpopular opinion: Pat Mcafee sold it perfectly. He gets hit, falls flat on his back, while beer is spewing out of his mouth. Looked like he got knocked out and it’s beautiful imo.

I'm pretty sure the Tombstone Piledriver should be on that Mount Rushmore

Two underrated best stunners: Pat McAfee and Santino Marella

good video

I'm honestly surprised Santino's sell isn't on here. It's hilarious

Santino Marella saluting after getting stunned is the best

This made me go and watch the stunner from WM14 on HBK so definitely feel that one is missing

Backlash 99 was my favorite Austin/Rock match, mainly for the camera stunner. So entertaining.

I was laughing all throughout the video 😂😂😂

Personal favourite of mine was definitely Harts selling but also Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14.

My fave has always been Kurt Angles, "Candlestick" sell. where after he's stunned, he shoots up right on his feet for a fraction of a second before falling down like a tree in the woods.

best for me was either Santino Marella who saluted as he fell, or Montez Ford from March 16th, 2020 where he just dies and cracks his head on the cooler behind him when he falls back

Where is Pat Mcafee at WM 38? That was a great one!

Santino's Stunner Salute always gets a smile out of me

Santino's salute sell was funny! 😂
