11. Delivering an F-5 to Big Show at Survivor Series 2002
Following the success of his feud with The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar moved on to a short feud with Edge before entering an extended program with both Kurt Angle and Big Show. These three superstars fought over the WWE Championship for several months after Paul Heyman turned on Lesnar at Survivor Series, allowing Big Show to win the title and turning Brock babyface for the first time in his career.
The match at Survivor Series was notable for another reason though. In a moment of outrageous physical strength, Lesnar hoisted all 500 pounds of Big Show on to his shoulders and executed a perfect F-5. What made the moment so powerful was the ease with which Lesnar delivered the move to the worlds’ largest athlete. At the time, Show was still relevant in the world of professional wrestling so this really did become a seminal incident in the industry.
Lesnar would continue the rivalry with Big Show throughout the beginning of 2003 as Kurt Angle also entered the fray. Lesnar cost Big Show the championship with another monumental F-5 during Show’s defence against Angle at Armageddon in December 2002. This would lead to the next three entries on this list, starting with another epic confrontation with Big Show and one of SmackDown’s all-time classic moments.
