#1 Superplexing The Big Show

One of SmackDown's greatest 'Holy $#!#' moments

During his initial run, WWE’s bookers were determined to make sure Lesnar looked like a true juggernaut in as many different ways as possible. One of Vince McMahon’s favorite ways of accomplishing this was by having Brock show off his impressive strength, which he had already done on several occasions.

But this was SmackDown during the early 2000s, and creativity was still running rather high on the blue brand. As such, SmackDown’s bookers came up with a unique and astonishing way for Lesnar to show just how powerful he really was.

As Lesnar fought the Big Show in the ring, he somehow managed to get Show onto the top turnbuckle. Then, Lesnar went up to the same corner and performed the seemingly impossible: he superplexed the 500-pound Big Show so hard that the ring collapsed.

This prompted commentator Tazz to exclaim ‘Holy S**t’ as the ring fell apart and caused the audience to jump out of their seats. It was an outstanding moment that had never been done before and amplified the power with which Lesnar suplexed the Big Show to the ring canvas.

Although this same concept has since been done twice, Brock Lesnar’s original ring-destroying Superplex will always reign as arguably the greatest moment in SmackDown history.
