9. Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show for the WWE Championship, 2003

In WWE’s history, there have only been nine Stretcher matches. There’s a reason why there’s only been nine Stretcher matches in WWE history: It’s because you literally have to be your opponent senseless and wheel him out on a stretcher.

Well, for Brock Lesnar, he wasn’t going to be able to put The Big Show on just any normal stretcher at the 2003 installment of the Judgment Day pay-per-view. The Big Show was looking as dominant as ever entering the main event of Judgment Day, and Lesnar’s run as champion appeared to be coming to a close.

But, as dominant as The Big Show was, Brock Lesnar was smarter.

We’ve tuned into plenty of installments of Lesnar-Big Show over the years, but this one was as fun as they come. Thanks to a Rey Mysterio cameo to provide a distraction for Lesnar after Big Show put him on the shelf in the weeks prior to Judgment Day, Lesnar found his answer to winning the match: A forklift.

Lesnar would drive the 500-pound Big Show out of the arena to retain the gold in one of the many “Holy sh*t!” moments in Lesnar’s career.
