WWE star Kevin Owens appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics, including how opponents sell the Stunner.

Owens said, โ€œSome guys just go overboard, which I think ends up making the Stunner itself look terrible. Iโ€™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, itโ€™s so over the top. But somehow, he nails it.โ€

On Austin Theory’s ability to sell the move because of his timing:

โ€œThe timing is perfect. The way he does it is perfect. โ€˜Everyone goes, โ€˜Holyโ€ฆ 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 guyโ€™s head goโ€ฆ Shane [McMahon], actually, I think Shane always took a really good Stunner. Thereโ€™s all kinds of different ones I like. I said I donโ€™t like the ones that are more about trying to make people go, โ€˜Well, did you see how he sold it?โ€™ than trying to make the move look good.โ€
