5. Brock Lesnar Vs. Big Show – WWE Championship (2002)
This is by far the hardest match to rate on the list. If we’re talking about technical ability alone, the WWE Championship clash between Brock Lesnar and The Big Show would be nowhere near the top five. However, the strong angle heading into (and coming out of) this championship match completely elevated it. Since I’m not just taking in-ring ability into consideration, Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show finds its way into the top five.
The undefeated WWE Champion Brock Lesnar – already with huge wins over Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and The Undertaker under his belt – shockingly suffered his first loss after Paul Heyman turned on him. The Next Big Thing got a massive reaction from the fans inside Madison Square Garden and instantly became WWE’s top babyface following this incredibly effective angle.
- Match Rating: 6/10
