One of the funniest oversells in WWE history has to have been when JTG took a cobra strike
from Santino Marella.
This happened in an episode of WWE Superstars on 20th September 2013 and was JTG’s last
WWE match.
The match was so entertaining to watch and some of the funniest moments were when JTG
was dodging Santino Marella’s cobra strikes whilst locking him in a sleeper hold as well
as the killer cobra strike finish that left JTG twitching convulsively as if venom was
seeping into his body.
It is just so hilarious to watch and JTG even got a standing ovation backstage for the Cobra
sell, as he revealed in his book, “DAMN, WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK?”
When you think of WWE wrestlers overselling, Dolph Ziggler is definitely up there and he
sure knows how to make a move look… “that… damn… good”.
He is known as “The Show-Off” for a reason!
Ziggler has sold countless moves well and one in particular was when he sold Zack Ryder’s
finishing move, the Rough Ryder at TLC 2011, which saw him lose his United States Championship.
During the final stages of the match, Zack Ryder hit his Rough Ryder finishing move on
Ziggler and instead of collapsing on the canvas like one would, Ziggler took this to another
level by doing 360 degree turn as he bounced off the canvas.
Most people would just fall back after receiving a Stone Cold Stunner except if your name is
Mr. McMahon.
The Rock, on the other hand, sure knows how to sell a Stone Cold Stunner.
After receiving a stunner from Austin, The Rock would fall on his back, bounce off the
canvas then would do a handstand to push himself onto the ropes, where he would bounce off
and fall back on the canvas.
If that isn’t how you sell a Stone Cold Stunner, then I don’t know what does!
Although it might be a bit over-the-top, it created amazing iconic moments that we will
never forget.
We covered this on a previous video of ours but this list of the funniest oversells would
not be complete without featuring the match between The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels
and The Immortal, Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam 2005.
Michaels was upset over the fact that Hogan refused to put him over in a rematch that
was supposed to happen, so Michaels had the ingenious idea of embarrassing The Hulkster
by comically overselling all of his moves.
It was simply hilarious watching Michaels throw himself to the other side of the ring
after his head connected with the turnbuckle and when Hulk Hogan delivered a big boot to
Michaels to which he fell to the mat, got up dazed and fell back down again on his back
in position for a leg drop.
If you somehow have not seen this, then you have to go watch it after this video.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels teamed up against Randy Orton and Ric Flair in a tag team match
and one of the most hilarious and memorable spots in the match was when Triple H oversold
Orton’s counter.
Triple H was staggered and groggy on his feet for literally more than a minute.
What made it even more funny was Michaels in the background making gestures with his
hands and blowing in the air for Triple H to fall down.
Eventually, Triple H snapped out of his dazed state only to collapse to the mat.
It is just ridiculous yet amusing at the same time.
