It's funny, I always thought the term 'no-sell' meant receiving a move, and the move has no effect. Like Undertaker getting leg-dropped and he sits right up, or Kong getting drop-kicked and she doesn't move. I thought most wrestlers that are face get beat on for a while and then make a comeback late in the match to win. That's usually how it works no matter what type of punishment they take during the match.
Melissa did alot of work and nailed the airraid crash, but if Sara had not been near the ropes, would she have been able to kick out afterwards? Who knows. After Sara won she didn't look like she had not been through a hard match. She looked hurt and exhausted as she should have. Even in the Kondo Clutch it didn't look like Sara was having an easy time of it making it to the ropes, when Melissa turned her around I thought it was going to be the end right there, but Sara was able to endure and get to the ropes. This is something that I have seen before in wrestling also, again, a top face thing. I didn't see Sara stand right up as if nothing was wrong after she broke the hold, 'no-selling' it, she was still on her face in pain.
Bottom line is all wrestlers can no-sell at some point, I don't think Sara no-sells that much honestly. Kong does so more often and I don't see anyone complaining about her. Nattie Neidhart did quite a bit of it in her match with Sara so much so that Sara looked like she was struggling the whole match. There is a difference between no-selling and surviving punishment to win a match.
