Dolph is one of the best sellers I've ever seen. He's especially good whenever he has to take a spear (ie Roman or Goldberg), man looks like he gets genuinely broken in half

@@TheNEOverse Yeah, but he suffered his way to a now almost 20 year career making a bunch more money than guys who got pushes and when it didn’t work were just gone. Not enough of the young guys understand how valuable and profitable it can be to be Dolph or Kofi (who is also fantastic at selling and always lost a lot because of it). It would be great to be Cena or Roman, but there aren’t many of them. Nothing wrong with a 20-30 year career in WWE losing because you sell well and eventually become a backstage guy like Road Dogg or a coach like Albert.

@awesomesk5578 Жыл бұрын

For me the best way to sell would be like Bret Hart. He was a great seller but he never went too overboard with a sell to the point where it looked goofy or unrealistic. He sold as much as we would get invested in the story. He would sell like he got hurt and it would make us sympathise with him and he never lost credibility. Looking back now, the way he engineered his match and the way he sold was just a thing of beauty.

Dolph is 100% right about this. Everyone just pops up from moves that look like they should kill them. It's hard for me to care about a devastating move if the wrrstler who took it jumps back up after half a second to do their own move. It must not hurt much if the wrestler is running around for 15 more minutes.

He has the right idea, a bit borrowed from HBK but he has the right idea, in a business that's oversaturated, you have to be able to do something that for the most part only you can do and that's going to stand out and be different then what everyone else is doing. HBK in the early 90s was a mid-carder heel who was good at selling and making his opponents look good and that's why all the babyfaces at the time wanted to work with him or so he says in his book.
