There are very rare moments in the history of wrestling which will always be remembered throughout. With so many bumps and spots in every match, moments are no longer as special as they once were. However, everyone who watched this match will know what is meant by an unforgettable moment.

Brock Lesnar in his first run with WWE, was the completely dominant Superstar that he is today. His skills and his physique put him in a different league from everyone else. However, one of his main feuds was with the largest athlete in the world, The Big Show.

The Giant and Lesnar had several matches, but it was during a SmackDown, that Lesnar went ahead to do the unthinkable. He hit Big Show with a top rope Superplex, and what followed is still remembered.

The ring utterly collapsed, with both Superstars apparently knocked out. The crowd was stunned for a few moments as the looked on at the completely destroyed structure, not sure what they were seeing.

With both Superstars out, it was left to Mike Chioda, who was refereeing that match, to sell what was happening. At first, he fell too and appeared to be knocked out, but later, he would get up and look around with the same disbelief that was permeating the audience. His performance in this role made that moment even more memorable.
