The Rock Used To Oversell The Stunner To Win Beer Bets With Stone Cold

Welcome to another edition of

OFF-TRACK with A-TRAIN

where I report on the weird and the wacky
in the world of wrestling

in this episode

OH, SO THAT'S WHY ROCK
ALWAYS SOLD THE STUNNER
LIKE HE WAS BEING HIT BY A MACK TRUCK

Ah, so THAT explains it.

I wonder if that's a thing that not only continues to this day, but also extends out to every member of the roster.

You make my shit look good, I owe you a beer. And the better you make me look, the more beer I owe you.

If so, I bet Tyler Breeze's fridge is STILL full from his sell of this Uso Superkick from a year ago this week.
