The feud between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin is perhaps the greatest in WWE.

Before flaunting his acting skills in Hollywood, The Brahma Bull performed Vince McMahon's promotion. The finishing move of his arch-rival Austin largely depended on the selling ability of the opponent.

The Rock has probably been the victim of the stunner more than anyone else. His experience with the move has produced a myriad of historical moments. Every time The Texas Rattlesnake stunned The People's Champ, he oversold the move with crazy jumps.

#1. The Infamous Hogan vs. Michaels at WWE Summerslam

Shawn Michaels is one of the finest in-ring performers WWE has ever had. He was scheduled in a match against Hulk Hogan at the Summerslam in 2005, which was billed as a "legend vs. icon" contest.

The plan was to book these two superstars in a couple of matches where Hogan was to win the first match, and Michaels was to emerge as the victor in the second.

However, before their Summerslam bout, The Hulkster informed officials of his medical status and unavailability for any future fight against HBK besides the Summerslam one.

The Heartbreak Kid was infuriated at the decision and could not do anything. Thus, he converted this clash of titans into a rather funny match.

He oversold every attack from Hogan. Even the slightest punches made him jump like he received an F-5 from Brock Lesnar. Nonetheless, fans loved the match because of these antiques and the two legends' in-ring work.
