Brock Lesnar would debut in the WWE in 2002 and would leave a path of destruction in the wake of his actions, manhandling his opponents and getting pushed to the stars. Lesnar would beat established stars like Rob Van Dam, The Hardy Boyz, The Undertaker and managed to capture the WWE Championship from the Rock.

Coming into Survivor Series, Lesnar was yet to concede a pinfall in the WWE – but all that changed at the hands of the 500-pounder Big Show. Big Show would dominate the match but still required assistance from Lesnar’s manager Paul Heyman to hook Lesnar in the Chokeslam.

Show would capture the WWE Championship and Lesnar would make a face turn, culminating in the legendary Kurt Angle vs Lesnar WWE title match at the main event of Wrestlemania XIX.
