#3 The Brian Kendrick - 5ft 8in
Back in August 2003, Brock Lesnar turned heel on an episode of SmackDown by attacking Kurt Angle and aligning with the villainous Vince McMahon.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The following week, McMahon entered the catering area backstage and ended up getting involved in an unusual confrontation with The Brian Kendrick (aka Spanky), who accidentally squirted chocolate syrup on the WWE Chairman’s suit.
McMahon described Kendrick as “the stain on the underwear of life” and decided to punish the up-and-comer by forcing him to face Lesnar in a one-on-one match later in the show.
Lesnar could easily have defeated Kendrick after hitting him with multiple powerbombs at the start of their match, but he opted to go one step further by busting his opponent open with a huge steel chair shot to the head.
The youngest WWE Champion in the company’s history then wiped blood from Kendrick’s face and smeared it over his own chest – something that, needless to say, would not be allowed in modern-day WWE.
Once the brutality came to an end, the record books stated that Kendrick won the match via disqualification, but it is fair to say that Lesnar definitely won the war!
