16 Things We Learned From Paul Heyman On The Steve Austin Show
10. The Art Of Selling
If you listen to Austin's show, you know one of his pet peeves is the lack of selling in modern wrestling, and he asks Paul about that here, specifically how everyone uses a DDT as nothing more than a transition move. "Can nobody sell this thing? What is the state of the business?" The get into a discussion of how the business has evolved, mentioning that Harley Race's finisher was a regular vertical suplex. Paul uses Mark Henry as an example, saying that if he used a headlock as a finisher and protected it, the headlock would go back to being a respected, deadly move. "Moves will get over as long as people put the move over, get the move over, the announcers react to the move as if it's something devastating, unusual and big and everybody on the roster is cognizant of protecting it."
