10 Wrestlers Who Completely No Sold Finishers

9. Hawk

Similar to Hulk Hogan's ability to survive the most deadly of attacks, Hawk's knack for knocking back a neck knock was legendary enough to become part of his act.

As a member of The Road Warriors, he was barely required to sell for years anyway. Animal and Hawk battled and battered their way through the competition with such ease that they removed the need to see them absorb much punishment themselves. But when the time did come, there was a certain requirement for them to be just as superhuman on defence as they were on the front foot.

To this end, Hawk took to having an indestructible neck. Any head drop saw the big man bounce straight back up as if he was a phone that had just been charged back to full battery on impact. It was a hard place to go for his opponent, but drew gasps from crowds that couldn't quite fathom his super strength.

The gif above shows that he was up to it as late as 1997, an here against a 'Big Red Machine' on a terrifying tear. It wasn't the only time Kane was left red(der than usual) in there with the Road Warrior, but more on that later.
