The Rock is always the guy I first picture taking the Stunner when I think of Austin doing the move. Hall's sells were great too, but The Rock's were so over the top and goofy in the best way. Has Ziggler ever taken a Stunner? From Austin I mean. It helps that for a long time, Rock’s Stunner sell was the default one in the SmackDown games.

Why isn't "That Dude who won Tough Enough then got Shitcanned" not an option?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned him already, but I always felt that Sgt. Slaughter's selling of the stunner was very underrated. There's a slight neck snap motion that he does that made it look vicious.

As much as I loved it in real life, I hated that was the sell every single time you stunned anyone. Wished they would have had (which they do now) more low key options for the move, especially frustrating because whenever you stunned somebody and they bounce all over the ring they always wind up too close to the ropes to pin them.

There's a slight neck snap motion that he does that made it look vicious. For sure. Sometimes he would leave his feet entirely and just free fall on to Austin’s shoulder and then snap off. Sarge is often underrated for his bumping in general. The guy could make the most routine moves look devastating.

The silly ones are all great, but my actual answer is Sgt. Slaughter.

potato quality GIF but... I think I could watch this for an hour straight and still enjoy it. If you can't smile at that selling then you're dead inside. Helps that Rock and Austin were great together.

None.
Trips and Foley sold it the best. Drop to knees and crumple off to the side. Made it look realistic.

Anyone who doesn’t hunch over is ace in my book. Every new wrestler takes the stunner like they’re playing on the playground and don’t wanna do the whole drop down thing on the pavement. THIS. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. DROP TO YOUR KNEES YOU TWATS

I’ve never been a fan of the way The Rock sells the Stunner. It looks ridiculous. That's the whole point.

Always loved the WM 15 stunner where Rock/Austin turn in the air.

The Rock's selling of the Stunner was so legendary it made its way into the video games for years. Years. Scott Hall's selling is also incredible. Plus, an underrated sell of the Stunner would be Xavier Woods at WrestleMania a few years ago.

Whenever me and my buddies would mess around, my one friend, a HUGE Austin fan, would throw Stunners. I ALWAYS did the Rock jump and land on the knees. That's how it's f***ing done! I didn't sell like I took a shotgun blast to the chest though.

Scott Hall had the best over-the-top sell.
Sgt. Slaughter made the move look the most devastating.

The best part of Rock's selling was the way he made it look like taking the Stunner was akin to getting blasted in the face by an explosion.
It's a great example of how the OTT pageantry of pro wrestling can make a dumb looking move seem like the most badass thing going.
