5 best 'sellers' in WWE history
A professional wrestling match isn't all about a wrestler's offence. In a match, a wrestler not only has to show his skills but at the same time also cultivate his opponent. Selling in professional wrestling is an art that not many people are a master of.
Selling your opponent's moves is as important as hitting your own move. If there is no selling, then the whole point of the match seems lost. Selling is what makes a wrestling manoeuvre great. Can you imagine Stone Cold Stunner without The Rock selling it?
In fact, the art of selling is such that a simple body slam could look much more dangerous than a powerbomb if the former is done on a guy like Dolph Ziggler.
Throughout the years, we have seen many guys who have gone to a whole another level when it comes to selling their opponent's move. Here we look at the 5 best sellers in WWE's history.
# Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is probably one of the most underrated superstars when it comes to selling. Even though he's built like a bull, The Beast Incarnate has never hesitated in putting over his opponents. Brock Lesnar is known for bringing a shoot fight intensity in his matches and his selling is a big part of this intensity in his matches.
A great example of this is the build-up of his match against Samoa Joe at Great Balls of Fire. Despite being booked as an invincible object throughout the year, The Beast Incarnate happily put over Samoa Joe even though he beat him, as Lesnar sold the Coquina Clutch like no one has ever had.
