WWE star Kevin Owens appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics, including how opponents sell the Stunner.
Owens said, โSome guys just go overboard, which I think ends up making the Stunner itself look terrible. Iโve 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, itโs so over the top. But somehow, he nails it.โ
On Austin Theory’s ability to sell the move because of his timing:
โThe timing is perfect. The way he does it is perfect. โEveryone goes, โHolyโฆ Did you see that?โ But he still manages to make the move look good. I like a good, just like dropping, and you just kind of see the guyโs head goโฆ Shane [McMahon], actually, I think Shane always took a really good Stunner. Thereโs all kinds of different ones I like. I said I donโt like the ones that are more about trying to make people go, โWell, did you see how he sold it?โ than trying to make the move look good.โ
