Wrestling isn’t always about giving a move to another person; how someone takes it tells a lot. For example, The Rock’s selling of the Stone Cold Stunner will always be iconic, and someone like Triple H also makes the list. In terms of delivering a signature move, Triple H has quite a few in his arsenal and has been executing them to perfection. But when talking about the sells, some moments are more iconic not because of the move itself but because of how a wrestler sold it.
Now see, selling a move is perfectly fine and quite necessary, but what makes it funny is the overselling of the moves. Over time, fans have seen a lot of this. Recently, during discussions on social media, fans are debating over the fact that Triple H might just take the cake for the most ironic overselling of WWE moves.
Fans talk about some of the ironic overselling of moves
There is a thin line between selling and overselling a move. The saturation and extra intensity determine it, accompanied by some hilarious reactions. Just as an example, how JTG sold the Cobra by Santino Marella is iconic to this day. That headbutt by Mark Henry, which sent Batista flying, or how Shawn Michaels oversold every move of Hulk Hogan, the list goes on for some of the most hilarious sells of WWE moves.
Also, The Rock is a strong participant in this list as he not only gave some iconic moves but has also been on the receiving end of some and does a hilarious job selling them, especially during encounters with Stone Cold. But whenever you make a list of these, one iconic sell by Triple H will always be there.
Triple H tops the list with a hilarious sell
He is The Game for a reason; with defining moments like these, you need to be at the top of the pyramid. During a match in 2005, along with Ric Flair, Triple H faced Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels. He came off the top rope for a dive on Randy Orton. But Randy put his boot up to stop Triple H, and as soon as it hit him, it looked like Triple H froze. He stayed in his position for almost a minute, and this was enough to make the fans laugh.
Overselling has two major reasons: you either do it to make the fans laugh, or you do it when you are pissed off. Triple H did it during a dark match, so by no means was it disrespecting Randy Orton, but it successfully made the fans crack up in laughter.
