For those of you who were hoping to see the likes of Dolph Ziggler, RVD and Ricochet on this list, I felt that they sell in a more realistic fashion, so I would put them in a different category, i.e. they make you feel as though they are legitimately hurt.

Fair point. Overall, Dolph Ziggler is going to sell everything his opponent delivers. Sure, he may oversell certain moves - and even ham it up a bit at times - but he doesn't seem to do it to make a point to the agents, bookers, and/or his opponent if he's unhappy about something. He's a very reliable talent in the ring, regardless of spot on the card.

At 8:20 you can see Austin grinning and the crazy sell by Rock , their chemistry in ring was always so entertaining to watch XD

Mr.Perfect was the embodiment of perfect selling/overselling. In the early 90s he was so over as a heel that it was just pure joy to watch. On one side he was legitely extremely dominant as his abilities were without any doubt- then he could read a match and make his opponents in a way dominant that everyone was happy to see him beatup. Like his IC Title loss against Kerry von Erich- even when he won it back he would make sure it was a dirty win so our hero wouldn't look weak. My most beloved heel.

Man I saw all these wrestlers live many times. I was a kid I used to go backstage at WWF events from the late 80's into the early 90's so I got a peek behind the curtain (had connections). One story about Kurt Henning, who was a real pro. His gimmick of course was to come into the ring very confident with that straight back and smug look. He did his thing in the ring and did his walk back, but once behind the curtain and out of sight of the kids he just crumpled in severe pain with back and knee problems. I was pretty smart to the business as a kid, but when I saw the injuries and wear and tear on a strong guy like Henning, it made it very real to me. Most of the selling is just being to look like you're OK after 300 days on the road.

Im glad D-Von got the recognition he deserves on this, that leg shake is legendary selling, love the nod Xavier Woods gave to D-Von sellin the 3D like that

Absolutely. They had control of the oversell though. Some wrestlers didn't "take care" of their opponents as well as others and accidents do happen, but at least for a few moments, the oversell had control and or could get a few moments to reset.

As a kid that suffered from seizures, I remember thinking that Flair was knocked out on his feet and that's why he walked then fell. I remember being concerned for him every time. Till my mother explained that it's not a real reaction. Lol

I love Scott Halls selling of the Stunner. It was like he hit his face, stood up and was basically "stunned." Lmfao. There wasn't any flip flopping Rock or Triple H selling, it was just a take it then stand as still as a board till he falls. Scott and Steve even played into this during their Wrestlemania 18 match, where he took the stunner how he normally did and stood there stunned, then Stone Cold flips him off and hits him with another. I know Steve Austin didnt want to work with Scott, or any of the nWo, but those 2 would have been PERFECT together in their primes. Let's say 97-99 Stone Cold and 96-97 Scott Hall, before Scott's demons were always brought up. But that would've been amazing

No one can fall flat on his face like Greg Valentine.
