The Best

  • AJ St_yles - That man can sell like there's no tomorrow. I just remember I think at Lockdown 06 where Abyss hit him with the cage door and he sold it to the point where the crowd thought he was really injured...just from a cage door bump!
  • CM Punk - Probably my favorite thing about the guy is he can convince you he is in pain after the simplest of moves. He even usually sells injuries after the match is done and over with unlike some main event face monsters.
  • Little Guido/Nunzio - He could make anyone look like gold even after just receiving a clothesline.
  • Chris Kanyon - Probably one of the most underated guys of all time. He was always enjoyable to watch especially for his ability to sell moves.
  • James Storm - I just put him here because he seems to be one of few who can make a move like Rhino's gore look devestating.

The Worst

  • Goldberg - His definition of selling a move was either shaking it off or just not selling it at all.
  • Great Khali - The guy can barely take a move let alone sell one.
  • Mark Henry - Least favorite wrestler of all time. I think I could actually sell moves better than him and I've never had any training.
  • Scott Steiner - I think he's too roided to be able to sell at this point.
  • Hulk Hogan - The guy who invented no selling.

Best:

Lil Guido/Nunzio = This guy makes every move look straight up devestating. And in WWE that's probably why he was used in pretty much a lot of peoples Squash Matches.

The Brisco Brothers = These guys sell moves well. I mean I know its not one guy but rather two. But yeah they sell simple things really well too. Closelines, drop kick, you name it.

RVD = Man this guy is my favorite. When you think of a person's finisher and the time the person they put their most devestating one on. You're thinking RVD. This guy makes DDT's look incredible, This guy makes suplexes look incredbile, the way he just bounces off the ground when he gets power bombed, the look on his face when he's in a submission hold. To me their is no person that could sell better then RVD.

Worst:

Goldberg = Um all he does he shrug and shake. This guy is a complete stiff.

Khali = This guy is just an awful wrestler imo. He sells nothing and gives no reaction.

Hogan = Geez after I seen him get RKO'd on that car I was like wtf lol. Hogan just doesn't like to sell period. And yet people act like that legdrop is really something lol.

In particular that instance, you may have point with Hogan. I do not know... I did not really pay all that much attention to his feud with Orton.

Otherwise, with both Khali and Goldberg, in my humble opinion, they do not really count, because they would go under along same lines as Undertaker and Kane, of no-selling being part of their gimmick.
