8 Real WWE Fights That Surpassed Anything You Saw In The Ring

4. Brock Lesnar Vs. Curt Hennig

Curt Hennig might be a "perfect" technical wrestler, but Brock Lesnar is...well, he's Brock Lesnar. Back in 2002, when Lesnar was still new to the company, a drunken Hennig saw fit to haze the young guy while on a plane ride back from a WWE tour of Europe. (This would later be dubbed the "Plane Ride From Hell," and isn't the only incident which will show up on this list.)

Brimming with disdain for the new talent and a liberal amount of booze to boot, Hennig challenged Lesnar to try and take him down. In 2015, this seems like literally the stupidest thing someone could do outside of voluntarily stapling their scrotum to a live cheetah, but this was before Brock was known as a total beast with a winning UFC record. Back then he was just...okay, this was still an incredibly stupid idea, even back then.

Not wanting to be known as a pushover--and with his manager Paul Heyman encouraging him the whole time--Lesnar accepted the challenge and promptly tackled Hennig right into the side of the plane, coming dangerously close to the Emergency Door. Which, if my basic understanding of physics is correct, is nearly impossible to open at such a high altitude...but still not the kind of thing you want 300 pounds of rage slamming into.

After Lesnar took down Hennig to the floor--again, with significant impact--a few of the boys, including Triple H, stepped in and separated the amateur wrestling showdown.
