Haha look, bad taste. Anyway:

1. Hansen/Bradshaw lariat ---> somersault
2. Rock "spasms/wet fish" stunner oversell

The first one may technically be "overbumping", or some shit, but you get the idea.

Shit, that Hayabusa spot looks nasty even for the fact that it turned him into a fucking vegetable. Is there a gif of Nash dropping The Giant whilst attempting the jacknife? How he didn't kill him, god knows.

There's one here , bit small though.

Kawada generally wasn't much of an overseller, though. However, he had a great match with Vader, I think it was in 1999, where the match ended with a similarly vicious lariat + mammoth sell job.

Shawn Michaels has always been my favourite overseller. A lot of people swear by Steamboat in that regard, but I always found his selling a bit goofy.

Lemme tell you something, Dommy P, great wrestlin' has nothing to do with sellin' let alone oversellin'. Dusty Rhodes the American Dream don't sell for no man! When the booker said, "Dream, you gotta start selling and in some big matches try to oversell", you know what the Dream did? The Dream went out and took over the booking instead! Ain't no man gonna tell Dusty Rhodes to sell, if you will.

Curt Hennig did some nice overselling regularly, as did Marty Jannetty. Fatu also did the somersault oversell off the clothesline. He did it up to and including his "Make A Difference" gimmick, though he might have pulled it out once as Rikishi, no?
