2003 was the Year of the Hoss. That's why the Royal Rumble was closed out by the Brothers of Destruction, Brock Lesnar and Batista lifting and throwing each other at the ground. Granted, it wasn't Kanye Batista or even Evolution Batista (the faction wasn't formed until the next night on Raw), but he was on peak person-throwing form here. It's honestly a pretty cool little moment, with Taker getting his spine busted, and Brock throwing suplexes and F5s only to walk into a Tombstone. Whats more, there's a great deal of history between some of these guys: Kane and Undertaker, obviously, but Lesnar would eventually wind up as one of 'Takers greatest rivals. Even Batista managed a great match against The Deadman at a WrestleMania. The only things that really drag it down are the eliminations themselves. The unfrozen viking prince that is Brock Lesnar should not be running up and dumping people from behind when they're not paying attention. He should be throwing them over the top rope and into the fifteenth row while drinking a Coors Light, or something.
