I never realised until now how consistently he did the terrible flippy sell. I always thought it was a thing he did a couple of times that somehow made it into all the games.

Every kid at lunchtime at school was trying to hit that move back in the day. Ah, such memories. I had that poster on my wall during my teenage years! But yeah, its crazy to look back in retrospect and see just how often those two danced. Today, we've been annoyed having seen the same matches over and over again---Del Rio/Sheamus, Kane/Show, Orton/Sheamus, etc. But we never got tired of The Texas Rattlesnake and The Great One whenever they faced off. |

Today, we've been annoyed having seen the same matches over and over again---Del Rio/Sheamus, Kane/Show, Orton/Sheamus, etc. But we never got tired of The Texas Rattlesnake and The Great One whenever they faced off. For good reason: 1: Both were top draws in an era when creative used to care about more then just the 4 main eventers 2: They worked perfectly off each other, One a cocky, arrogant, corporate kiss ass in the rock ( and later a great face) in The Rock the other a gruss, no nonsens, ass kicking redneck who personified the average joe who had a 9-5 job. 3: Not specific to these guy but how may times they faced is a bit misleading in the video, very often it was drawn out to *gasp* get people interested when they did actually square off instead of nightly battles that grow thin. |

I absolutely hate the finisher kickout nonsense that goes on today, but Rock kicking out of the Stunner at WM 17 was and still is amazing, right down to JR's complete shock over it.

I find the Rock's flip sell hilarious every time, even today. Man, he was really athletic back then.

That's what I liked about the stunner. The sell is just as important as the execution of the move itself. And even when Vince, Linda, or anyone else who sold it like an idiot still made it funny.

Every kid at lunchtime at school was trying to hit that move back in the day. When I was a teenager, me and my friends went to a small local death metal show where one of our friends bands were playing. In the middle of the mosh pit, one of my friends gave another a stunner, it was awesome. |

Till this day the stunners he took at WrestleMania 15, 17, and 19 are my all-time favorites. 15 for the near complete 360 spin during the stunner 17 for how epic The Rock handspring'd all across the ring 19 for almost bouncing out of the ring {Spoiler} My favorite stunners on Rock in gif form: (Size warning)    |

The Stunner has to be one of, if not, the best finishers ever. You can hit it on literally anybody, big or small, and the person taking the move can essentially take their own bump.

I loved The Rock's over the top sell of the Stunner. It was always so ridiculous.
Also, is it wrong that I laughed when Heyman said "You don't lay a hand on [Austin's] wife"?

I like the comedy flippy sell but I like the one in the cage with HHH holding him where he just pops up and lands face first. Seems kinda "realistic".
