Brock Lesnar: 15 Most Memorable Moments in The Beast’s WWE Career
10. Brock Lesnar and Big Show Collapse the Ring, 2003
As their feud over the WWE Championship continued into 2003, Brock Lesnar and Big Show would meet again on an episode of SmackDown. Having already delivered some jaw-dropping F-5’s to Big Show in previous matches, Lesnar was clearly looking to up the ante in their latest clash. And he certainly achieved that goal with a moment that would become know as the “superplex felt around the world.”
Late in the match, the two men started ascending one of the turnbuckles. With neither superstar one to scale the ring posts regularly, the fans attention was captured by the possibility of something incredible about to occur. And the fans were not left disappointed as Brock launched Show off the second rope with a thunderous superplex. The impact of the move was so forceful that the ring collapsed leaving the fans in attendance, the commentary team and the referee looking on in utter disbelief.
While the WWE have tried to repeat the trick many times over the years, they have never truly managed to recreate the shock value created by this incident. This match elevated Brock to the level of a superstar who could be relied upon to create magical and iconic moments on a regular basis.
