Bob Holly vs. Brock Lesnar
This match-turned-shoot has arguably the worst outcome, as Bob Holly's neck ended up being broken by Lesnar. Though, the blame seemed to have been placed on WWE at the time.
Bob Holly, if you don't know, is known for being a rough S.O.B., and has gone overboard in the ring plenty of times. He's even caught a bad rap for picking on trainees. The guy thinks he's doing wrestling justice by "teaching guys lessons," but that kind of mentality only causes problems.
Brock Lesnar, who just had a wonderful match with Triple H at WrestleMania 29 last week, was in the midst of a meteoric rise when this all went down. He was/is known for being a difficult person to deal with, so it comes as no shock that he butted heads with Holly.
Like most matches in which a guy wants to get real, Holly just decides to deadweight Lesnar during a powerbomb. Lesnar decides he doesn't care, and drops Holly on his head, breaking his neck.
Holly's career was all downhill from there, and while that might have to do with his age, it's more likely do to with him being such a hard case.
It's a great read.
