#2 Best: Selling two different body parts

Bret Hart would have been proud of Seth Rollins' performance this week
Rollins selling his leg and Reigns selling his arm, were two genuine works of art

We realize that the title for this section may sound like something out of a Hannibal Lecter or Friday the 13th movie, but the selling of a body part in sports entertainment means convincing the audience that you are really injured. Thereafter, the limb becomes a deterrent for the remainder of the match.

Following the Cloverleaf submission move on Seth Rollins' leg, Rollins would limp and sell his leg beautifully for the remainder of the contest. Reigns did the same for his arm, when Cesaro worked on it. Both men told a fantastic story of changing their offense in light of their kayfabe injuries.

This was old school wrestling 101 and we're glad to see that Rollins and Reigns are practitioners of this art. We hope that good selling becomes a trend in the weeks that follow.
