WWE star Kevin Owens appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics, including how opponents sell the Stunner.
Owens said, “Some guys just go overboard, which I think ends up making the Stunner itself look terrible. I’ve seen guys standing Moonsaults on it, and I find that so dumb. Scott Hall had this amazing sell that people still remember, and now, Austin Theory, it’s so over the top. But somehow, he nails it.”
On Austin Theory’s ability to sell the move because of his timing:
“The timing is perfect. The way he does it is perfect. ‘Everyone goes, ‘Holy… Did you see that?’ But he still manages to make the move look good. I like a good, just like dropping, and you just kind of see the guy’s head go… Shane [McMahon], actually, I think Shane always took a really good Stunner. There’s all kinds of different ones I like. I said I don’t like the ones that are more about trying to make people go, ‘Well, did you see how he sold it?’ than trying to make the move look good.”
