Royal Rumble Moment from 2003: Lesnar WINS the Rumble

Hey guys, here's a Royal Rumble Moment from 6 years ago:

Brock Lesnar def. The Big Show and then, wins the Royal Rumble and challenges the WWE Heavyweight Champion on SD!

Here's what happend:

Match #1 - Spot for Royal Rumble - Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show with Paul Heyman Brock is feisty. He goes after the Big Show with a vengeance and gets the huge thing off his feet in no time. He throws him and Paul Heyman is in shock. Big Show throws Brock out of the ring in retaliation. Big Show now chops Brock in the ring and tosses him. He begins to manhandle Brock. Brock is faster and pulls off a German suplex. Brock takes a cheap shot at Heyman. Heyman grabs a leg. Big Show takes advantage of the interference. Lesnar's intelligence gets him a near fall. Lesnar pulls Pauly over the top rope and into the ring. The attached piece is used for a lift and he sets up Paul for an F-5 but Big Show stop it. Big Show pins but only gets a two count. It gets wild. Brock knocks Paul off the apron. Lesnar gives Big Show the F-5 and wins the match.

WINNER: BROCK LESNAR - he goes to the rumble! (Brock holds his back as if in pain)

Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show w/Paul Heyman from Royal Rumble 2003


2003 Royal Rumble Match


commentary by Michael Cole, Tazz, Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler
Ring Introductions by The Legendary Howard Finkel

Ohh Yes My all time favourite Rumble. There so many great spots in it.

Maven doing the dropkick to Taker Again as he thought he eleiminated him like he did t he year before until taker unleashes absolute hell on him LOL

Y2J taking out michaels at the start was a great move with Christian dressing as Y2J so Y2J could attack him from behind then later in the night (25th entrant to be exact). During those 2 minutes Michaels came out and attacked Y2J which lead to the match they had at WM

Kane Throwing RVD out towards the end on one expected and then Kane And taker 'teaming' Up until Kane got a doss of his own medicine.

Dreamer bring weapons in a trash can was sweet too, UNtil Y2J and Christian whacked him shitless with the kendo's

The 20 Seconds of fame for Bill DeMott was also quite amusing but i think the best moment was Lesner nearly getting hit by a BIg Boot from Taker but Avoided it which caused Taker to get caught. Then Lesner eliminating him.

After the hand shake was a great moment between the two at the end.

Thanks for this topic TNALDF, ITs great to look back at the memories of this Rumble and to just see why it is simply the best Rumble to date.

You're welcome Sykesy and I'm glad that you liked it.
