10 Wrestlers Who Completely No Sold Finishers

4. The Fiend

Very little made sense about The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins' omni-shambles of a match at Hell In A Cell 2019, unless it was a concerted attempt to bludgeon the careers of both men, the stipulation and even the credibility of the referee.

The man in the middle was launched under a bus quicker than Rambling Rabbit in some of those weekly death sequences as WWE scrambled for answers to the impossible questions they'd posed during a risible encounter, but we all should have seen it coming from the leaked dark match footage between the two.

Fiend's attacks on Rollins at the end of television tapings or during short short dark matches ahead of the pay-per-view featured a spot in which he stood straight up from Seth's dreaded stomp. This was less than ideal anyway - the company had gone back and forth with the move that for a while 'The Architect' was required to rebuild his closing stretch from scratch - but it again brought to life the lack of focus the company had for whatever the gimmick was.

This was extrapolated in the aforementioned Cell disaster, and the rest was doomed history.
