13 Greatest Moments In WWE Survivor Series History

13. Lesnar F5s The Big Show

Back in November of 2002, Brock Lesnar was on an absolute rampage. Having beaten the Rock at SummerSlam to become the youngest WWE Champion in history, he’d then gone on to overcome the Undertaker in Hell in a Cell at No Mercy.

For all those feathers in the cap though, we were still yet to see just how freakishly strong the former collegiate champion was. Sure, we’d seen him manhandle ‘Taker, and he did bust out an F5 on the 400lb Rikishi at one point, but there was plenty more to come from Lesnar.

Which is why at Survivor Series 2002, the Big Show was the perfect challenger for Lesnar’s WWE Championship.

Heading into the match, much of the story had revolved around whether or not the champ would be able to dominate Show, with even Paul Heyman less than confident about his client’s chances of picking up the big man.

Come the PPV though, Lesnar proved all the doubters wrong as he hoisted Big Show onto his shoulders—and with relative ease—to hit the F5 and pop the Madison Square Garden crowd. Today, these kind of feats of strength have become kind of commonplace for Lesnar, but back then this was still something pretty special.
