No-selling huge sequences and multiple finishers is more of an indy wrestling thing. RoH in particular.
I think even ROH has toned it down a lot from the old days on the finisher part. Also when ROH was really good, finishers really mattered and usually when a finisher was hit, it was over (99% of the time), though there was certainly no selling (though i almost think that was because of the ROH lockerroom being pretty bad at the time).
In smaller indy's though, absolutely, but they're performing in front of like 20 people and aren't household names, WWE does the stars no favours by making their finishers look so weak (especially the main eventers). NXT should look more towards a New Japan or All Japan style approach where you may get special moves hit but once a finisher is hit, its over, no kick outs (or if it is, it should be once a year, if that) and if it is kicked out, then the move kicked out is demoted to special move status and the superstar gets a new finisher. That makes more sense for a brand that is focused on the sport aspect of professional wrestling.
