"HOLY SH*T! What the hell!?!?!" - Tazz When Brock Lesnar was being built up as the WWE babyface star of the future in 2013, they used Big Show to try to get him over. The reason for that was that when Lesnar hit the F5 on Show it looked as impressive as any move in the wrestling business. They took it to another level on Smackdown in June of 2003 as Show looked like he was going to give Lesnar a Chokeslam off the top rope. Instead, Lesnar was able to fight it off and turned it into a superplex. It was just any superplex. It was a superplex where a nearly 300 pounder like Lesnar lifted a 400 pounder like Big Show over his head and gave him a suplex into the center of the ring. The ring collapsed. We have never seen anything like that before. Smackdown ended like that. You might recall that WWE recreated the broken ring spot with Show and Mark Henry at Vengance 2011. It worked because it had been 8 years since the last one. It wasn't as good as the first one though. The crowd was chanting "holy sh*t" after that move and cheered it for being unlike anything we've ever seen before. I can remember the reaction of fans on the internet too. It was a huge deal then and it still is now.
