What I mean by that is, how certain wrestlers sell certain moves, and how sometimes they're sold in a way that's just inexplicably bothersome.
My biggest pet peeve is Triple H selling the Codebreaker, and really any other "whiplash" sort of move, by dropping to his knees instead of selling it like anybody else. It's most visible with the Codebreaker, but I know I've seen him do this for other moves with a similar setup. If I had to guess I'd bet it's because of his quads or his legs in general, but it still never really looks good.

This isn't going to be popular at all, but I never liked how The Rock sold the Stunner.

I prefer Scott Hall's selling Says Rock's version is 'exaggerated', then says he prefers Scott Hall's ludicrously over the top and way more exaggerated version. Okay. ;D Anyway, I always thought Foley and HHH sold the stunner the best. They realistically fell off the side of it like they'd been genuinely hurt. Worst sell? Well Kane taking any move where he has to land on his front- pedigree, RKO etc

I remember R-Truth somehow working in an extra spin while taking an"Overdrive" one time.

I don't really like the way Cena sells the F5 by landing on his side, rather than falling flat on his face.

inb4 Shawn Michaels' triple flips, SummerSlam 2005 I was more of a fan of the big boot sell where he falls down, gets right back up and stumbles around the ring a bit before falling down again.

Undertaker always sold the Twist of Fate like a neck breaker, landing on his back. Always bugged the hell out of me.

This isn't going to be popular at all, but I never liked how The Rock sold the Stunner. Same here! I used to hate how phony it looked, like Rock was taking the piss out of the move. I know that's not the case, but as a kid I thought it was so dumb. Same for Scott Hall's sell at WM where he popped 3 feet into the air. However, Rock's sell of the Gore was priceless. Kind of random, but I don't like how JTG sells a lot of stuff, he always does this thing where he sits up right after the move. Sometimes he's amazing though, like when he sold rigor mortis after taking the Cobra.

I've never really liked how William Regal sells... anything. I love the man, but his selling of moves always looks awkward to me.

Brodus Clay going over the top rope. Man was that awkward! Actually, Brodus falling, period.
Kane, Punk, and Triple H taking flat bumps. Because of their knees I guess?
RVD's FlipKO when the Legend Killer was targeting him. For some reason that still bugs me.

Cena landing on his ass for every back bump. For example the Rock Bottom.

I think for guys like him, Kane and Big Show they don't want to hurt their face so they end up either taking it on their knees or their back (I know Big Show started taking the F5 like an AA because of the pain it was putting on his chest and face).

RVD selling his own frog splash instead of trying to pin someone. I don't care how much your stomach hurts, put one arm on the guy and win the match, you idiot.

Anytime anyone sells the groin on the inverted atomic drop instead of the tailbone. It's meant to hurt the tailbone, low blows are illegal.

Okay. ;D Now that I read my post again, it's not even close to what I was trying to say. English is not my first language, so it happens sometimes. I don't like Rock's selling because you can clearly see him using his arms to raise himself, and that always breaks my suspension of disbelief. Scott Hall's selling, on the other hand, is a lot more "believable" because jumping 5 feet in the air is something you know he is doing to sell the move, but it's not as blatantly obvious.
