10. He Lost His First WWE Championship Here

Considering that Lesnar will face Big Show on October 3rd, it€™s worth starting off by noting that Brock lost his first WWE Championship to Show at the 2002 Survivor Series in Madison Square Garden. Lesnar€™s title reign lasted just under three months when Show defeated him with help from Brock€™s turncoat manager, Paul Heyman. (Don€™t expect a repeat of that, unless WWE is really feeling risky.) Brock had Show beaten when Heyman pulled the referee out of the ring to prevent the three-count. In the ensuing melee, Show chokeslammed Lesnar onto a steel chair to capture the title.This encounter also was Lesnar€™s first televised MSG match, though it wasn€™t his first. He actually had a few bouts under his belt by the time this contest rolled around.
