1. Strowman Stops Show

You knew that the moment that a steel cage was involved in a match between Big Show and Braun Strowman, that one of them was going to destroy part of it.

And while the cage survived the match itself, it didn’t survive the aftermath. After defeating Big Show, Strowman pulled the giant up and told him it was time to put him out to pasture. He then hoisted Show up and threw him like a lawn dart through a cage wall, sending him to the floor below.

Given that their last encounter ended with Strowman superplexing Show and collapsing the ring, they had a lot to live up to. And while it wasn’t as visually incredible, it still was effective.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
