For anyone that grew up watching wrestling during the Attitude Era you got to see legends of the ring like The Undertaker, Triple H, Mick Foley and of course The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. And the Stone Cold stunner is arguably the greatest finishing move in WWE history. And the stunner’s most famous victim is probably The Rock. And that’s because he sold it like no other wrestler could. Just take a look below for an example.
So clearly Rock would just hop around like he had just been on the receiving end of the most vicious move ever. At least that is what he wanted the crowd to believe, and he was the best at it. And comedian Hannibal Buress spoke about The Rock selling the stunner on his podcast. And guess what? The Rock tweeted why in the hell he used to flop around like that.
First take listen to the Buress clip.

And you won’t guess why The Rock did that. Check out what he tweeted.
My dude. Appreciate it HB. Me and @steveaustinBSR used to bet cases of beer on how crazy I could get with my “sell” of his famous Stunner https://t.co/VtTmqI1jkW
