Nobody likes RVD's overselling?

Paul London, Rey Mysterio (Chavo feud), Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison, etc.

The Rock was really good. People may not remember it, but he was never 'Superman'. Sure he won most of the time, but he would actually sell moves for the rest of a match and would actually appear fatigued at the end of a battle. Rock always comes to mind when I think of good sellers. He sold for everyone too--not just the main eventers. That is proper storytelling. I wish Cena (perhaps the worst current seller) would take a page from Rock's book.

Nunzio. PERIOD. That guy could make anyone look good. Yeah, Nunzio was another good one. He made Goldberg's spear look like death. Now Nunzio is a great seller, but I'm pretty sure that Goldberg just ripped him in half that night.

Bret Hart no sold the poop out of HBK at WM12. Watch Shawn work over Bret in the same area for 40 minutes and Bret not sell it at all. Bret was an awesome technician but his selling was pretty average.
When has Shawn Michaels ever made anyone look bad? Hahaha well Hogan but that was epic. Seriously though, because Shawn was smaller and was so athletic he could make the guy across from him look like Brock Lesnar when it was really Bob Holly.
Mr. Perfect, I know it was said, but I 100% agree. He was so under rated and he sold so well in every match. Watch him work with Shawn or Ric Flair in the early 90s and those matches were unreal. Hennig was the total package and I have to think had he not had his back issues he probably would have gotten the chance to carry the company in late 93 or 94ish. He had good matches with everyone imo.
Current guys are Ziggler and Punk for me. They actually sell the body part that was being worked over. Lots of guys on the roster sell something for 10 seconds or a part of the body that doesn't even get worked over for more than one move and I hate that. I actually have an issue with Evan Bourne because he looks good taking a beating but he only ever sells the stomach after hitting the SSP which doesn't make the other guy look good.
Raven and Mick Foley are two of the greatest of all time imo but as was mentioned, the lines of real pain and selling are certainly unclear with those two. Some would say that means they are doing their job and others would say no they were really just getting their ass kicked.
Lets not forget that Jericho sold a KO punch from Big Show for like a half an hour at a house show. Not to mention there were only a handful of people in the building to still around to even see it. Another example of how insanely talented Jericho is if he really wants to be.

I remember that RKO on RVD. I thought he broke his neck!

Goldberg is probably the best in the biz' at delivering spears. Add that along with Nunzio's good selling and it looks like a spear from hell.

Evan Bourne, Randy Orton, Triple H and Rey Mysterio are the current best seller IMO.

John Cena I mean wow! His selling is the most believable.Billy Gunn was good at selling being thrown headfirst into the ring post. When Taker was "human" he could sell pretty good. You're joking...right?

Randy orton and Bourne know how to sell all the moves properly. No doubt about it. I love the way orton sells the SCM. Almost like he gets stunned.

Out of the guys that are contracted to the company at the moment, definitely Chris Jericho or Evan Bourne.

I remember Brock being a pretty good selling considering his size, also Show for that matter.
Cena and, yes if you actually watch him, Alex Shelley are among the worst in wrestling at the moment.
