10 Wrestlers Who Completely No Sold Finishers
7. Tazz
That the Tazz/Jerry Lawler rivalry of 2000 was broadly very enjoyable speaks as much to how to just about everything was back during the company's unbridled creative peak.
Still theoretically a huge and over asset, 'The Human Suplex Machine' shouldn't have been feuding with announcers anymore than he was settling into the chair himself the following year, but it's Vince McMahon's company and the former ECW man was comparatively short so 'The King' and a bit of comedy it was.
The brutal truth of the disparity between the two men was laid bare when they finally fought at SummerSlam. Lawler's win (and especially the sentimental element of him helping out longstanding colleague Jim Ross) went down a treat, but the bulk of the bout realised the reality that in anything resembling a real fight, the Memphis man was toast.
This was best exemplified by Tazz' piledriver no-sell. He wasn't ever permitted to really having the closing stretch particularly in-hand, but he did at least manage to pop up from Lawler's most lethal attack. Ahead of taking a glass jar to the f*cking head and looking at the lights seconds later, it was just about all he could gleam.
