Best thing about this move is everyone could do their own unique sell. HHH sold it best and made it look real.
Didn't like how sometime after austin retired guys never dropped to their knees to sell it anymore

I always thought at the time and even more so now but i'd hate to land on my butt, tail bone, and toward the lower back that many times...one would think it would screw your back up bad eventually. NO matter how well you do the move that many repeated landings has to add up...he's lucky he can walk probably. IIRC, he has mentioned he has had trouble with his back because of it.

Rock always sold over the top but that's what made him great in a sense because you don't see guys like him bump and sell crazy like that.

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. Why not? Steve Austin and The Rock is like Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Its always a great match.

^ Exactly. Nearly everyone liked at least one of them too, putting it way above the other examples, where at times one of them is merely tolerated.

The Rock's selling of the Stunners was always so entertaining. I love the over-the-top selling he did because it always made the move look like it damn near killed him.
It's weird how my favorite sellings of the move were from The Rock and Triple H and they couldn't be more different.

Ugh, Halls sell was abysmal. He didn't even go down to his knees. Just jumped backwards...
