10 Best Wrestling No-Sells Ever
10. Tatanka's War Dance
It's strange to think there was a time when Tatanka of all people was being built up as a massive babyface star. Such were the dire straits of WWE's New Generation leading into the mid-'90s. Tatanka himself was a perfectly serviceable, if unspectacular grappler, but went on a mystifying undefeated streak that lasted over a year.
There was nothing terribly interesting about Tatanka in general. He had good fire, could sell a decent beating, but ultimately, his limited moveset hampered his progress. However, that did not stop the warrior from getting the crowd behind him in his moment of need.
As a villain would beat him down, Tatanka would begin slowly skipping around the ring in a signature war dance. Reminiscent of wrestlers like Wahoo McDaniel, Tatanka would channel his inner reserves, and the opponent would be helpless to stop the incoming onslaught of, well, mostly a bunch of Tomahawk Chops coming from various angles.
Tatanka was not going to set the world on fire, but his simple, effective style, while often done better by many, still managed to garner the appropriate response from the crowd. And really, what more could he have hoped for?
