10 Greatest WWE Sellers Of All Time

Shawn Michaels has delivered about three million Superkicks over the course of his career, and roughly a quarter of them have been taken by Randy Orton. Seriously. It got to the point where Orton probably refused to share a cab with Michaels because he knew, inexplicably, he'd most certainly get a boot to the face before the fare was settled.

It's really his own fault for selling the move so incredibly well. How do you not want to see that every week? The dude had the whole "I've just become extremely concussed" thing down pat.

His eyes would glaze over, his back would slowly start to bend backwards like he was momentarily thrust into The Matrix, and then he'd collapse onto the mat like an imploded skyscraper. Vince McMahon seemingly saw him do it once and said "Yes, that! For eternity".

But it's not just the Sweet Chin Music that he sells like a champ. For all of his cocksureness and reported behind-the-scenes dickery, the guy had no problem making someone else look like they were capable of murdering him in the ring.

Case in point: When Mick Foley dropped him onto a pile of thumbtacks during their epic Hardcore match at Backlash, Orton transferred all of his anguish and agony directly through the TV screen and into your body.
