RVD did a good mix of bumping and selling. He actually sold the pain of his own finisher the 5 star Frog Splash more than his opponents did:russ:

Every time he'd hop up clutching his stomach, I'd be like:damn: "why do you do this to yourself?!"

Don't confuse bumping with selling:francis: If you hit a backflip from a kick to the gut but got back up to do the next spot without at least clutching your stomach, you succeeded at bumping and failed at selling. Dolph Ziggler and The Rock are great at bumping.

My choice ironically enough is Dean Ambrose, he remembers to sell his injuries more so than others.

I think that's selling Ziggler a bit short (no pun intended). Taking bumps is a vital part of selling your opponent's offense and Ziggler like no other can make his opponent look strong with his selling.

:jbhmm:From what you showed me, his bumping is at least coinciding with finishers so it's appropriate to call it selling in those instances. What I'm saying is when I see him get his leg worked during a match he and other notable bumpers don't limp like they should for the rest match, we need to believe he'll have difficulty pulling off a super kick. If he hits a Zig Zag it should take him longer to get the pin.

I don't hype Ambrose up, I've called him overrated numerous times, but he can tell a story via selling. Ziggler can make a drop toehold look deadly but he'd hop right back up for the next series of moves.
