What do you think are the best, worst, and most over-the-top selljobs in history? I'm not sure about my best, but for me perhaps one of the worst moments for me is Snitsky getting "catapulted" out of the ring at the WM 21 battle royal. It made me laugh. As for most over-the-top, I think it's HBK at Summerslam '05. Brilliant!

Best seller is probably Bret Hart to me, with Rock as a close second. A bit hard to judge though. The worst? Hogan, although that's partly due to the booking of his "hulking" character.

Most over-the-top without a shadow of a doubt HBK.

I'd also have to agree that Bret Hart was the best seller that I've ever saw. If any proof is needed of this, all one has to do is watch WrestleMania X. Bret Hart continued to sell his leg injury in his match against Owen at the beginning of the card all the way to the end of the card in the main event against Yokozuna. That, to me, is the definition of selling.

Bret and Benoit are the two best sellers. It's no coincidence that they are both the two best in ring workers ever. (For me anyway)

I don't know who the best is... That's a tough question. But the most over the top moments for me is when The Rock would get Stunned. The over selling of that move by him were pure moments of pleasure for me. I absolutely marked out every time it happened. It was just so damn comical.

The Rock definately sold the stunner like no other. Although, I would have to put HBK in this catagory too. I've never seen anyone that does that upside down flip into the top turnbuckle when he gets whipped into it. HBK can sell the irish!

HBK's very good at selling, like you guys said.
Edge and John Morrison/Nitro aren't too bad either...Cena's pretty good at selling the RKO.

The topic is sell jobs not sellers.

HBK is a definite candidate for most over the top sell job (against Hogan of course). The Rock is also up there with his fish flop selling of the Stunner.

Khali trying to sell anything is absolutely horrible and Cena no-selling the leg at WM23 was pretty bad.

Bret Hart's selling against Mr. Perfect in their match at KOTR 93 is particularly awesome. Also, I remember Benoit selling a concussion in a match against Triple H on Raw. It was such a good sell job that I was actually legitimately scared for him at the time.

Coachman Selling the stunner at Survivor series 03 was decent IMO, Especially for someone who aint a wrestler.

Bret selling the leg all the way through His WM10 match with Owen Is good to.
