Perfect, easily.
HBK was great, but had/has a tendency to oversell.
Bret was very, very realistic, but sometimes you would think he could sell certain things a little more.
I'd saw Benoit's next in line, behind Perfect.

HBK's selling in the Hogan match either made that match or ruined it depending on how you look at it.
He was trying to make his opponent look stupid, which is wrong. But it was Hogan, after all and he probably had it coming.

Mr Perfect, he made Ultimate Warrior into a threat.

RVD should on there as well. He's sold some stuff in a way that defies belief. Dreamer's piledriver is the first thing that comes to mind.
I think Randy's probably the best seller in WWE right now. I agree that his selling has the perfect mix of realism and over the top cartoonishness.

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. if you're talking about selling beyond just a move, i mean after the match, selling all the back down the aisle into the locker room, randy savage is #1 my opinion, anyway |

I agree with a previous poster regarding anyone that has gone through Stu Hart's dungeon, which in addition to good selling, just seems to churn out the best wrestlers in general.
I also agree that right now Orton is the man when it comes to selling moves.
Really, they are all good choices, but must I remind everyone about WM 2: "Adorable" Adrian Adonis vs. Uncle Elmer?

My favorites:
Hulk Hogan: Before Hulking up, we all thought Earthquake was going to kill him
Perfect: Can take a simple slap and fly it to the moon.
Macho Man: I recall him even selling in post-match segments

RVD, hands down.
And while nothing particular sticks out DURING the match, CM Punk LOVES selling a body part after the match. I specifically remember him winning a match after his arm was being worked over on, and the ref raises his arm without CM Punk noticing. CM Punk quickly snatches his arm away from the ref about half way up and pulls away, holding it in pain. Good stuff.

Im goin "other" here.
Punk sells everything almost too much but I kinda like it. Steamboat was okay too.
That "The Gambler" dude ALWAYS took a Grade A beating with style though.
