Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show

[10.0] "This is one of my personal favorite matches. Brock Lesnar in his first run was an absolute beast and unlike his current over dominant style used to have much more selling in his work. Big Show and him had a very fun rivalry and this match being as good as it was was a big surprise to me."

[7.0] "Way better than expected. They had an atrocious match at the previous Survivor Series. This was a lot better even though Brock is a horrible babyface."

[8.0] "Insanely fun match with some classic moments and an insane and amazing ending. What a classic match."

[9.0] "This was AMAZING. And even more so, given that the rest of the show was pretty horrendous. But Big Show has been on a massive roll in 2003 and him and Brock actually have great chemistry. Brock bumps like crazy for Show and Show is very good at making Brock look as strong as possible. There was a lot of fun chaos here, including Rey's return and Brock's insane trip to the ring from the forklift. It felt like something out of a video game. A lot of creativity and I'd say this is easily the best stretcher match of all time, unless I'm missing something."

[8.0] "The match was solid most of the way through but the crowning moments was at the end when the forklift came out"

[6.0] "If it wasn't for the last few minutes, this is lower. It was a bit of a slog to get through the first half, though I guess that is expected with a Big Show main event. Brock during this run was doing some incredible things though and that helps boost this"

[6.0] "It was more fun than I expected. The first part with only the stretchers was alright by itself, but once Mysterio interfered and Lesnar introduced the forklift it got more exciting. Big Show looked gassed throughout the whole bout, but it didn't matter that much because of the stipulation, plus once Brock was in control he knew how to get the crowd going with his agression and a great physical ability."

[8.0] "This match is a blast to watch. Its not very long so it flies by as you are watching it. Show and lesnar just beat the hell out each other and made the stretcher stipulation truly feel like it was deserved for the match. The Rey interference was pretty useless but when Brock came in thru the set with a forklift thats where the match went from good to great. Awesome finish 4/5"

[6.0] "This was definitely a very fun match. Big Show and Brock seem to always have outstanding chemistry together, and this was no exception. Brock's selling was a highlight here for Big Show's big offense, but Big Show was also working his butt off when it was his turn to make Brock look good, too. Brock's dive off the forklift was an extremely fun spot, and he got the crowd into it in a big way. The reason I can't rate this match higher, though, is because there wasn't much substance to this match. As fun as it was...it was just a looooooot of brawling. They used the stretcher gimmick very effectively, but for my taste, it was just too much of two guys hitting each other with objects. I would have liked to see a little something more from this match, but at the end of the day, it was still quite a good match that'd be enjoyable anytime you turn it on."

[7.0] "This was a really fun match. Brock and Show beat the piss out of each other here, and it's great. Rey's interference made sense and the ending stuff with Brock bringing out a forklift was awesome. ***3/4"

[7.0] "Pretty good main event. Not exactly the "barbaric" match it was made out to be on Smackdown, but it's very enjoyable with them both beating the crap out of each other. Big Show takes a sick looking bump from the ring apron on the stretcher at one point. The crowd popped big for Rey Mysterio's interference to get some revenge and the Lesnar driving a forklift into the arena and using it to win the match."

[8.0] "I was sitting on a 7 for this but had to upgrade because Brock absolutely sending it on a forklift to the ring, the insane dive off it *into* the ring, and putting Show on the pallet to win... that is wrestling. ****"

[7.0] "This match was fun as hell. This is something you can show a non-wrestling fan and they would enjoy it. It's very over the top and a great watch!"

[8.0] "A stupidly entertaining match that sees Lesnar and Show wack the piss out of each other with stretchers and come up with all sorts of creative spots. Lesnar struggles to get Show onto the stretcher, so he has to get resourseful. He first chokes out Show onto the stretcher with a cable, but when Lesnar goes to move the stretcher the cable gets stuck and ends up pulling Show from the stretcher in a twist of irony. Show takes a lot of nasty bumps here. I wasn't sure about the Mysterio involvement at first, but seeing Lesnar come back to the arena in a god-damn forklift made up for it. Lesnar launched himself from the forklift to the ring and looked like the biggest babyface ass-kicker in the world."

[8.0] "This was a really fun main event between Brock and The Big Show. This does get slow at times with Big Show working on top but I don't think it takes much away from this match. They use the time that they are given, the stipulation to beat the shit out of each other. Brock would have won this match earlier but Big show was too big to fit onto the stretcher. So while Brock goes to the back we have a Rey Mysterio appearance which makes a lot of sense given what Show did to Rey. When Brock comes back he has a forklift and he jumps on top of it and when Rey gets off him he does a dive off of the stretcher and the crowd goes ballistic. Brock at the end hits the F5 pushes big show onto the stretcher and drives the forklift to move him past the yellow.****1/4"

[9.0] "This was a surprisingly great match. Brock and Show worked amazingly together and made good use of the stipulation. Normally stretcher matches suck imo, but this was honestly very fun. The action was brutal and hard-hitting, which played perfectly into the styles of these two. I enjoyed the story going into the match about Big Show simply being too big to put on a stretcher. Lesnar driving in with a forklift to put Big Show on that instead of a stretcher might've been the goofiest shit I've ever seen from him, but it actually made for a satisfying ending to the match. ****1/4"

[8.0] "A match that no one assumed would be good, but ended up being really entertaining. They used the stipulation to perfection and the finish was really unique. Possibly the best 1v1 match in Big Show's career."

[10.0] "Brock and Show reach the peak of their awesome feud with one last wild fight. Show is again the best brick wall, and Brock is at his peak of powers in inhuman strength and stroytelling on top of that. Stretcher matches by an large suck, but with the killer story around this and the fight, its a complete banger. That vertical suplex is not possible. ***3/4"

[8.0] "A Surprisingly fun match overall. Lesnar and Big Show just beat the shit out of each other with everything they could have. The Rey interference made sense given the story at that time. Brock flying from the forklift was an awesome moment. The crowd was damn hot, too. A very good main event and easily one of the top matches in Big Show's career."

[8.0] "Awesome match. Big Show and Lesnar have the best chemistry together, it? s unreal. Some great back and forth wrestling where Big Show tossed Brock like he was nothing and Brock bumped like a boss. They used the stretcher really well, beating each other with the actual object as well as using it to win. The Rey interference was cool and it made sense given the history between Mysterio and Big Show. Awesome main event to end such a horrid show overall. ***3/4"

[7.0] "A match of two halves, I feel. The first 5 minutes or so of the match are kinda slow and boring (typical Big Show match amirite), but that only makes the other 10 minutes feel that much more brilliant. The last half of this match is much more faster paced and so much f**king fun, I love everything about it. Lesnar attacking Big Show while he's climbing up the set like monkey bars, Rey Mysterio's interference, Lesnar bringing out a F**KING FORKLIFT and stacking the Big Show on the pallet board to drive him over the line. That has to be one of the most creative finishes I've ever seen and really ends a pretty s**t PPV on a high note. About as great as a stretcher match can be but I personally think Batista vs Michaels' one in 2008 is the best. ***1/2"

[10.0] "Completely underrated in my book, a violent spectacle with strong psychology and a lot of moving pieces moving together really well. Mysterio's appearance fit perfectly with the story they were telling, and the spectacle of these monsters throwing each other around was awesome even before they creatively got the forklift involved. Unusual but fantastic match."

[8.0] "Possibly the best 1 vs. 1 match Big Show has ever been in. It was a very fun brawl with good psychology and a smart finish. ***3/4"
