10. The Big Show Defeats Brock Lesnar Survivor Series 2002
From the moment he debuted in WWE in March of 2002, Brock Lesnar just couldnt be handled. His only recorded loss on his path to the top was to Matt and Jeff Hardy when they pinned his partner Shawn Stasiak, but come on his partner was Shawn Stasiak. A few weeks later, Brock beat the tandem by himself. After winning the King of the Ring tournament, Brock was guaranteed a shot at Undisputed WWE Champion The Rock at Summerslam. The rookie dominated The Great One to become the youngest WWE Champion in history at only 25 years old. He went on the feud with The Undertaker, coming out on the winning end against The Phenom. Then things took a turn leading up to Survivor Series, when Brock was pitted against the 70 tall Big Show. Unlike today, where we hear Paul Heyman tell anyone who will listen that Lesnar cant be beaten, Heyman advised Brock not to take the match. He was adamant that Brock couldnt beat The Big Show. His prediction came true that night at Madison Square Garden, but only because of his own act of betrayal. In under five minutes, Brock had it locked up with an unbelievable F-5. Thats when Heyman pulled the replacement referee out of the ring the first had been knocked out a minute earlier. As soon as Brock realized what was happening, he chased Heyman until he ran into a steel chair shot from The Big Show. The Worlds Largest Athlete chokeslammed The Beast onto the dented chair before disposing of it as the first referee came to. That was all she wrote for Brocks historic, unblemished rookie campaign.
