8. Hardcore Holly Meets Brock’s Powerbomb
During 2004’s Royal Rumble, Bob “Hardcore” Holly was slated to face Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match for a WWE title match. It’s the basic David VS. Goliath match up. Even before the match, rumors spread that Lesnar and Holly didn’t get along very well.
In just a couple of minutes during the match, Lesnar delivered a sloppily performed powerbomb. The move caused Holly to land hard on his neck; breaking it. If that’s not enough, Lesnar even did a light tap on Holly’s neck even after it was apparent that the athlete was in deep pain.
The accident led fans to believe that there was an actual beef between the two but it’s not actually true. Holly himself confirmed in an interview that he and Lesnar worked very well with each other. In fact, Lesnar called Holly regularly during his recovery period to check up on how he was doing.
