Inspired by my thread about heel/face selling and the Randy Orton thread. Who's your favourite ever seller?  |

Bret beat the crap out of himself when he sold. It looked authentic, probably because it 70% was.

Nobody can sell a snakebite like the Macho Man.

I'll have to agree that Benoit was pretty damn good at selling...more so than anyone on that list, to me anyway...

Mr. Perfect. Always the first guy I think of in this situation.

Pretty much everyone that came out of Stu Hart's Dungeon sold better than everyone else.

Benoit was as good or better as anyone on that list. Very realistic selling, really added intensity to the matches.
If we're going to include ridiculous crazy-go-nuts selling, then Hennig needs to be on the list, along with "Staggerin'" Scott Hall.

CURRENTLY, Orton. Never stops selling. Ever. And does that perfect cross between cartoony/painful that just makes everything look devastating in a truly comic book fantastical realism way.
All time, either Perfect or Savage. I've only watched them (briefly) on Youtube, but man, Hennig could f***ing make you believe he just got killed.

Orton.
He always had that great look on his face that said "What the f*** just hit me?"
Either him, or D-Von Dudley

Great selling goes beyond just selling a single move, but the effect of a number of moves over time. Steve Austin, Bret, Owen, Shawn Michaels, Benoit, and even The Undertaker are some the best as doing that.
Currently, Randy Orton is selling like I've never seen. He makes you believe he's been through a war.
