9. W/ Big Show vs The Undertaker - SmackDown October 23rd, 2003
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Iy8QuPkZE This is one of those occasions where Brock Lesnar lost clean despite so many normal restrictions being removed. In this match, the Undertaker faced Brock Lesnar in a 2-on-1 handicap match, and won the first fall by pinning Big Show clean. That was a good move because it protected Lesnar, who was clearly the bigger star out of him and Show. I say first because then-SmackDown General Manager Paul Heyman came out and kept changing the stipulations of the match: first he made it 2-out-of-3 falls, then added no count-outs, and then made it no disqualifications. Even after all of that, Undertaker still managed to defeat both Brock Lesnar and the Big Show, pinning the former after hitting him in the head with a steel chain (again, that was legal per the rules of the match). You would think that even after dealing with all of that, Lesnar wouldve been able to defeat the Undertaker, yet somehow the Deadman managed to vanquish both of them. When one suspends their sense of disbelief, it comes as a surprise that Lesnar and Show actually lost this match. From a story perspective, Undertakers odds seemed so insurmountable, but he still defeated both Lesnar and Show, marking another rare loss for Brock Lesnar, and something that happened with some regularity for Big Show.
