5 WWE Superstars who hilariously oversold their opponent's moves  

The quality of matches in WWE generally depends upon the intensity and credibility of the moves.

Superstars have to receive the move in the best way possible to put on a perfect show. This is called "selling a move" in the glossary of professional wrestling.

The ability of the seller largely affects the execution of the contest. For instance, Stone Cold Steve Austin has stunned almost the entire roster of WWE. However, watching him give a Stunner to Vince McMahon is vastly different from a Stunner to Shane McMahon because of Shane's athleticism and ability to sell those moves.

However, Superstars sometimes cross the limit and oversell the moves. Though maybe frustrating sometimes, it is hilarious most of the time.

This article will focus on such five times WWE Superstars hilariously oversold their opponent's moves.

#5. WWE Hall of Famer Triple H got a boot to his face

Triple H is one of the best due to his excellence in almost everything. Be it his talent on the mic, wrestling, or managerial skills, there are only a few superstars who can best The Cerebral Assassin.

Included in his wide array of talents is the ability to sell brilliantly. However, he went a step further in selling these moves during a match on WWE RAW.

The 14-time world champion pinned Randy Orton to the ground, who reacted with a kick to Hunter's face. The Game got stuck and spent roughly a minute in that stance. He was consistently looking upward and was trying to get back in his position.

Triple H regained consciousness after a while and started walking only to fall face-first on the mat.

Shawn Michaels constantly made weird expressions as if he was employing some dark magic to bring The Game to his feet. What makes it even more hilarious is that HBK and Triple H were on the opposite sides in that contest.

#4. The classic Ric Flair Flop

WWE Legend is a narrow term for a superstar like Ric Flair. A legacy stretching over decades and promotions, The 16-time world champion has had numerous interesting moments in his career.

One thing that he often used in the 80s and 90s was the great Ric Flair Flop. After getting hit by a punch or any move, he walked in the ring as nothing had happened and then fell face-first in the ring.

It was a hilarious work to watch and is one of the many things that cemented The Nature Boy's legacy.

#3. JTG oversells the Cobra on WWE Superstars

Santino Marella's finishing move, Cobra, is one of the most talked-about moves in professional wrestling. But not because it is innovative or damaging; it was a rather genuinely silly attack with literally no damage.

However, the move has had numerous memorable moments in Vince McMahon's promotion, and one of them came against JTG. In his last match at WWE, the latter squared off against Santino Marella.

In the finishing moments, Marella struck JTG with the Cobra, who reacted as if he was bitten by a snake and was poisoned.

#2. The Rock was stunned numerous times

The feud between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin is perhaps the greatest in WWE.

Before flaunting his acting skills in Hollywood, The Brahma Bull performed Vince McMahon's promotion. The finishing move of his arch-rival Austin largely depended on the selling ability of the opponent.

The Rock has probably been the victim of the stunner more than anyone else. His experience with the move has produced a myriad of historical moments. Every time The Texas Rattlesnake stunned The People's Champ, he oversold the move with crazy jumps.

#1. The Infamous Hogan vs. Michaels at WWE Summerslam

Shawn Michaels is one of the finest in-ring performers WWE has ever had. He was scheduled in a match against Hulk Hogan at the Summerslam in 2005, which was billed as a "legend vs. icon" contest.

The plan was to book these two superstars in a couple of matches where Hogan was to win the first match, and Michaels was to emerge as the victor in the second.

However, before their Summerslam bout, The Hulkster informed officials of his medical status and unavailability for any future fight against HBK besides the Summerslam one.

The Heartbreak Kid was infuriated at the decision and could not do anything. Thus, he converted this clash of titans into a rather funny match.

He oversold every attack from Hogan. Even the slightest punches made him jump like he received an F-5 from Brock Lesnar. Nonetheless, fans loved the match because of these antiques and the two legends' in-ring work.
