Such a great move. Loved how you could sell it how you wished.

I’ve never been a fan of the way The Rock sells the Stunner. It looks ridiculous. That's the whole point. Goes too far IMO. It’s Shawn Michaels selling Hogan’s big boot level of ridiculous.

It helps that for a long time, Rock’s Stunner sell was the default one in the SmackDown games. 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. The annoying part was the Vince Stunner was basically a regular Stunner to do to literally everyone else, but back when that was the only normal one it was also ack when moves had different damage ratings, not just getting ramped up depending on Wether you set them as finisher or not

It’s just not my thing. I think it looks silly and doesn’t help the match any. I think why it bothers me more than it should is that Rock Stunners are almost always the animation that made it into the video games. It would look so dumb when you’d give the Stunner to some super heavyweight and they’d flop around like a fish out of water.

Add me as another one that hates Rock's sell.
I also appreciated that a lot of the veterans Austin would hit it on - Brisco, Patterson, Slaughter - wouldn't go to their knees, they would go down with it flat before bumping like it was a cutter rather than a jawbreaker, and it made it look like it was breaking their damn necks.

I’ve never been a fan of the way The Rock sells the Stunner. It looks ridiculous. I never had a problem with how he sold it. My bigger issue is that for the longest time was how all the WWE games made it that sell for the stunner. When The Rock is the only one that did that.

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. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it annoying. Doesn't look nearly as aesthetically pleasing

Not simply for the legendary end result but also because The Rock is completely in sync with Austin in that he jumps in time with Austin and when they land it makes it look so much sweeter than anyone else taking it. So many others just fall to their knees but just that change with Rock jumping with him makes everything about how he takes the stunner better than anyone else. I wonder if it ever occurred to them at the time that that would be the last Stunner that Rock ever took.

I put my vote for Scott Hall's sell for a few reasons: 1. It was the only memorable part of that entire match. 2. I just didn't expect it from him. 3. It was really only done once so it makes it more unique. I believe Xavier Woods sold it the same way found it www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkPDaK7IwE4

I loved how over-the-top Rock's selling of the Stunner was.

Rock and Scott Hall are 1a & 1b. For hilarity purposes, Linda is 1c. That is amazingly bad.
