10. The Minnesota Stretching Crew Vs B.J. Payne & Shooter Schultz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qZPn-nxWzw Boy was this one a mismatch. The Minnesota Stretching Crew - Lesnar and regular OVW partner Shelton Benjamin - outweighed Payne and Schultz by about 200lbs. The match took place before the April 16th, 2001 Raw, just two weeks after the phenomenally successful WrestleMania X-7 and a good, solid year before Brock's main roster debut. Lesnar and Shelton, who had much a much different look than they would when they made it to the promise land of the main WWE roster, dominated the match and were clearly the more athletic of the two teams. Lesnar demonstrated his power, almost throwing one of his opponents out of the ring with a fallaway slam. The Stretching Crew were clearly out to impress WWF officials. The athletically-gifted Benjamin hit a beautiful 450 splash but it was nothing compared to the finish, a picture-perfect shooting star press by the equally-gifted Lesnar. Staggeringly, Lesnar's victim was more than halfway across the ring.
