Fans gasped as they saw Brock nearly break his neck. Lesnar was dazed but, through sheer instinct, continued and won the match, delivering an F-5 to Kurt Angle to win the WWE Championship.

It was a scary moment that could have ended Brock Lesnar's career. Thankfully, he recovered and went on to have another impressive year in 2003.
