#2 Hardcore Power Bomb

Two hardcore men fought against each other in September 2002. Hardcore Holly and Brock Lesnar are known to be two of the most physical and powerful wrestlers in the world of sports entertainment.

Brock Lesnar faced Hardcore Holly, where he attempted to powerbomb Hardcore Holly. Now it is unclear whose fault it was, but this was a very ugly botch.

Lesnar lifted Holly in an awkward position and powerbombed him to the mat below. Holly landed badly onto his neck which resulted in him breaking his neck. He was put out of action for thirteen months to recover from the surgery that followed.

Luckily, Holly wrestled again for at least six more years with WWE before he was released from his contract after a 15-year tenure.

Some say that Holly decided to sandbag Lesnar, while Lesnar got pissed off and deliberately dropped Holly. However, both men have clarified that they are good friends and it's not possible for Holly to sandbag Lesnar, as Lesnar has the strength to even carry the Big Show around the ring.
