10 Great Matches From WWE No Mercy PPVs

10. The Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar - WWE Title Biker Chain Match (2003)

A year after The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar contested a classic at the very same pay-per-view event (more on that one later), WWE revisited the feud with another stipulation bout. The two warriors battled it out in a first-ever 'Biker Chain Match' which was, in actuality, nothing more than a chain on a pole match (I was hoping the ropes would be replaced by chains but there we are).

The Next Big Thing was in his 'real' Brock Lesnar phase and had developed a serious mean streak, completely destroying the likes of Brian 'Spanky' Kendrick, Paul London and poor one-legged Zach Gowen. 'Taker was a much more capable opponent, however, and took it to Lesnar in a match that supposedly favoured The Deadman.

This match is about what you'd expect from these two, with lots of brawling, suplexes and submission attempts. It was heavy-hitting smash mouth stuff and Lesnar displayed his newfound nastiness by piledriving 'Taker on the ringside steps. 'Taker, not to be outdone in the spectacular stakes, unleashed his rarely-seen no-hands over-the-top-rope dive onto an interfering FBI (Nunzio, Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli).

After weathering the Full-Blooded Italian storm and immobilising Lesnar, 'Taker grabbed the chain and was about to win the match when Vince McMahon popped up and caused the deciding distraction, allowing The Beast to clobber him with the chain for the win.

One of the more underrated matches in Undertaker and Lesnar's long and storied rivalry.
