5 WWE matches that broke the ring

#1: Big Show Vs. Brock Lesnar (SmackDown. June 12, 2003)

Show and Lesnar demolished the SmackDown Ring in June 2003.

The most iconic ring-break in WWE history, this classic bout saw a young (and face) Brock Lesnar, take on the seven-foot Big Show.

The pair certainly had history, as it was Show who took the WWE title off Lesnar at the previous year's Survivor Series, handing Lesnar his first pinfall loss, albeit with help from Paul Heyman.

During the SmackDown match, the pair climbed to the top turnbuckle and as Lesnar used his freakish strength to Superplex the big man, the ring collapsed under the weight of both men crashing down.

As fans and commentators looked on in shock, the ring-break was a true shocking end to the bout, and though it has been replicated a few times in the 16 years since, none did quite like Show and Brock.
