10. He Lost His First WWE Championship Here
Considering that Lesnar will face Big Show on October 3rd, its worth starting off by noting that Brock lost his first WWE Championship to Show at the 2002 Survivor Series in Madison Square Garden. Lesnars title reign lasted just under three months when Show defeated him with help from Brocks turncoat manager, Paul Heyman. (Dont 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbbGE5dMvCM This encounter also was Lesnars first televised MSG match, though it wasnt his first. He actually had a few bouts under his belt by the time this contest rolled around.
