They didn't have to sell you or anything Brock was just a Guy a freaking nature, bro. So it's I gotta I gotta show respect, you know saying when respect is due even though certain people Definitely not gonna be happy that I checked this out But we're gonna check this out by wrestling premier subscribe to wrestling premier if you haven't already Let's check out Brock Lesnar's first WWE championship reign and how things Kind of got rolling for him. Let's get into it Man, it's muted. So y'all didn't hear none of that. We're gonna start this all over again There we go y'all should hear it now Brock Lesnar's arrival in 2002 brought a hell of a lot of chaos He was an impressive specimen in combination of size speed agility and athleticism Brock's potential hadn't gone unnoticed by WWF who are desperate to bring him up to the main roster Lesnar's D1 wrestling skills allowed for him to quickly learn about the ins and outs of pro wrestling His debut and lead up to SummerSlam was one of the most incredible rookie stories WWE has ever told what makes it so good is that Lesnar's push came at an extremely convenient time in addition It was fresh it resembled the golden era type push for a big guy to come in and cause terror Let's know from Spike Dudley and Rikishi to the Hardy boys to test an RVD to the big guys such as Hulk Oh get in the rock Yeah natural like why would a guy who can run as fast as the Hardys throw a big show over his head and look Out of place in the main event if anything you would look out of place as a mid-car This opportunity was for the taking for Brock Lesnar. Nobody could rival him at the time Triple H was on raw his face run was done. Chris Jericho's title reign was questionable The Undertaker had just lost that title and wasn't gonna be the tap dog And then there's Kurt Angle who was being prepared to win the title later on and most importantly rock in Austin were gone So there was only one choice Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's title victory over the rack at SummerSlam marked the beginning of a new era And then this is where Dub said not checking out. This is where he's anchored for For the Brock stems from Always trying to tell Dub like Brock was leaving man. He was going to Hollywood is is only made sense from a booking standpoint, but Dub wouldn't turn here Looking at it from that time period It looked like he was about to rain on top of WWE for several years because he was slowly become the total package His promo ability was slowly getting there and by this time next year He could talk about here. He was a rookie who was effortlessly Dominating on the August 26 2002 episode of raw Eric Vischoff introduced the new WWE champion Paul Heyman regged about telling the fans So he's like, oh, I told you so. Lesnar grabs the mic calls himself the youngest champion in history and Heyman Asked if anyone can beat him and Lesnar responded with a no All of a sudden Shawn Michaels music played and seen that big-ass band-aid will ruin your hopes It was triple H triple H went on to talk about crippling Shawn Michaels But then the game shifted his focus to Brock Lesnar and implied that he's Inexperienced before asking if he's man enough to play the game rock was not budging But this wasn't his only potential challenger the undertaker came out as well He told triple H that he gets the first title shot as the number one contender and he asked Lesnar He was the next big thing or the next big bitch Triple H strikes and they jumped him at rewind to make it clear that he wanted the match The undertaker took advantage match to send them walking Eric Vischoff decided to make a number one contenders match for the title triple H Versus the undertaker Lesnar during the match interfered and caused the American badass to match given the title shot to triple H The champion was all joyous over this result and it was revealed why you see Stephanie McMahon and Eric Vischoff were stealing talent Stephanie had a loophole to make the champion and championship Exclusive to smack down and so Eric Vischoff was left without a title unsmacked out Stephanie McMahon booked the number one contenders Match to determine the challenger for the gold that unforgiving rock Lesnar meanwhile destroyed Matt Hardy who had some fight in him But ultimately there wasn't enough and he lost He never proceeded to display that brutality that he's known for and meanwhile the main event was originally between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit Now it's a triple threat with the newest smackdown acquisition the undertaker He won the number one contenders match and what Lesnar desperately tried to avoid That last round was crazy Same time Brock Lesnar had to focus on the young upstart by the name of Randy Orton Orton's confidence and ambition somewhat caught Lesnar off guard but once the match set in Lesnar shot him down Later that night both men went face-to-face with Stephanie McMahon moderating this encounter Lesnar didn't really feel like talking since his accomplishments speak for themselves But the point of Lesnar here was that everything was easy to him. He's 25 and he's done a lot Even asked the undertaker about his age the undertaker though saw things entirely different from a place of experience He saw a look of confidence on Lesnar's face The confidence that will have you believing you could be anybody the undertaker said that he seen this exact same look for a While he told Brock that he hasn't been tested yet. Unforgiven. He's taken him to a place like never before He was ready to beat him up bust him up and if he survives Then he has something to brag about undertaker knew very well that Lesnar hasn't endured the big battles All I'm in praise the dead man for his words but home that he's distracted by his family business at home Hey, it was eager to make this about family for Lesnar the title is family undertaker though He has to take care of his pregnant wife and Stephanie didn't want him to make things personal Hey, man, though was all about that I'll take care of his wife, but not his unborn child that things escalated. Good second I like the idea here with the lights dimmed and both men getting to hear the other speak and made things feel big time It felt like a huge main event that was gonna happen. It's crazy how Brock and the Undertaker had a good like Like feud early in his career and then even later on down the road They were turned back to that feud and it was still pretty good That's and the fact that the Undertaker most of the time put over Brock. That's the crazy thing He put him over like that was everybody's job to put him over when he didn't have to he was already like this There's larger than life character But that's everyone for the most part was doing a job for Brock because they made Sense to do the job for Brock soon and the story was clear Rookie who's in over his head thinking is good enough and an experienced veteran who saw all of them come and go to him It was just another guy except this time he has a title the feud was slowly heating up and turning personal Meanwhile Brock Leznor had that famous match with hardcore highly and after an awkward sequence Leznor dropped them on his neck and hardcore was like sidelined for a year The Undertaker on the other hand had to deal with Matt Hardy. His wife was in the back and Leznor used this to his advantage Heyman did one of those distractions and take her fell for and boom Leznor with a brutal chair shot. He ends up touching the baby and saying life's a bitch So they brought security coming to think of it. It was more Heyman who was paranoid Leznor was spending too much time on John Cena while Heyman was telling them to hurry up. Leznor is distracted by Absolutely nobody and I'm not talking about John Cena. He's kind of worried about the Undertaker coming out But he wrapped it up Heyman was still begging him to leave but Brock was cool staying around then he realized a Undertaker could be in the parking lot So why would I leave the arena and ruin the match unforgiving the dead man arrived at the end of the show and called out Leznor threatening to come after him in the locker room was Brock scared of him. No, no you shoved Heyman out of the way It was Something but Undertaker was going all out Matt Hardy suddenly comes in and Lesnar goes to the outside He tastes a beating and the champion was put under protective custody and the Undertaker was pissed Okay, the build for the match was intense already personal and it's not the best build because the story doesn't need to be that personal Yeah, whatever this was Brock Leznor's ultimate test besting Hulk Hogan and the Rock is no easy feat But one is old and the other was on his way out. What about the guy in his prime and is here to stay? That's the story the promo for the match was absolutely amazing and the adrenaline song by Gavin Rosdale I think you guys may have heard it in the triple X movie to hype. You've never seen him before you go search This promo is really one of the best promos from this era of WWE Brock wine the Marcus territory and it's crazy WWE even though they they still make some good promos depending on the storyline like what's happening like the bloodline Promo package man when it's all said and done when we finally get to the very very end It'll be one of the greatest promo packages They ever put together just they have so much footage, but WWE one thing. They're good at it's making very good legendary Iconic promo packages with great songs to go with them And so that that don't even sound far-fetched at all Well, then he wasn't scared about the vibe from this magic was Brock and storyline had a lot to learn Then man took early control lesser had to rely and help from Haman on the outside to take advantage He's in full force though He was benefiting from Haman on the outside and in addition a bloody undertaker But the taste of his own blood only caused the other takers to go super crazy and the match one at one point But the ref was down and so of course he interfered it took a last try But it still wasn't enough Haman was slowly believing this guy was unable to put a stop to the dead man And so was the crowd he brought in a chair But it wasn't even used on the right guy because the undertaker grabbed it and went swinging these chair shots were brutal Nothing less from undertaker back this point even Lesnar was showing resiliency He refused to let go of a title though at this point He only had his fingertips on it that's just that five was countered and once again the ref was involved So I put his hands on him and caused the DQ Yeah more than the title for the undertaker multiple referees tried to separate both men But it wasn't working and the challenger managed to hit a choke slam and things settled for all two seconds because the undertaker Good The crazy thing is nobody technically lost because they weren't trying to have no anyone lose Yet, obviously they were gonna build a few out of this the immovable force in the I think that I said it wrong the I said immutable force the unstoppable force and the immovable object Colliding who's gonna give in you know I'm saying so I get why they didn't initially have anyone really win this match Defensively they just kind of had them still go out on their own merits great Especially Lesnar wasn't afraid of the undertaker was throwing everything at him undertaker looked like the vengeful family man Who was eager to make Lesnar pay for his sins and with an ending like that? It was clear that this feud was far from over later that week on smackdown Funaki wanted to conduct an interview with the champion Lesnar was asked if it was true that he refused to give the undertaker a re-image And he responded saying that this is a question everyone was scared to ask him So he wanted to answer in the ring. Funaki was excited about the interview unaware of what's to come He brought up the chair that the undertaker used to listen or beat him up Braum will send him God damn like a helicopter with this f5 He followed up later that night with the undertaker and dropped him with the belt and he still refused to face him Stephanie though said that the undertaker is gonna get a rematch with the stipulation He even tried to get the stipulation out of her but the end of wait Meanwhile takers match with Matt Hardy turned into an ambush and Lesnar wasn't gonna let him go so easily This led to Matt Hardy scoring the victory, but the champion wasn't done Yeah, the undertaker's hand with a propane tank as a result of his actions The hand was broken Stephanie informed them of this news But told them that the undertaker insisted on the rematch They made jokes about his hand and then Stephanie told him that it's gonna be inside hell in a cell and the hope and excitement And Heyman's eyes. Yeah, the undertaker was eager to rebound But Matt Hardy only made the problem worse. Let's hear him Matt was the bane of fucking undertaker's existence Matt Hardy was just annoying this thing about The dead man in a totally different way so they decided to bring an unknown woman His ex. Just as she's about to speak, he interrupts The others ran and she started airing some dirty laundry claiming she didn't know taker was married She tried to pay him as an adulterer and he shouted that he didn't know her She slapped him and the tactic was working exactly like Lesnar and Heyman intended But I wasn't over though for Brock. He had a team with Tajiri in attack team tournament And they didn't win due to Tajiri but Lesnar was the only one left standing The undertaker ran in afterwards and despite feeling a lot of pain using that cast He did it anyway Sam Brock running before no mercy offered his rebuttal towards that woman Taker admitted that he lied about knowing her but acknowledged that he knew her years before he met his wife He said the hell he's been through is nothing compared to what Brock's gonna go through Heyman was still looking for ways to even the playing field And complained to Stephanie about the undertaker wrestling with the cast As for what he thought about it, he was pissed He refused to see that woman again and demonstrated what that cast could do He felled up going after Lesnar and the champion had to make a run for At this point Paul Heyman was insisting He refused to see Undertaker with that cast on inside Hell in the Cell It was becoming more and more likely that the decision would go their way And at the end of the night Stephanie brought out Lesnar and made her decision She revealed that the undertaker can wrestle with the cast Now I don't know if he's interested in shampoo But one thing for sure around here is that the undertaker was right behind him Even Heyman took a beating as well And with this attack the momentum had swung in the undertaker's favor The build once again was odd With the woman coming in and accusing the undertaker of stuff They didn't need that when they had the cast storyline With that said, who cares about the build? Let's talk about the match Hell in the Cell man It's iconic This is iconic for multiple reasons For one, the promo of the match was once again great But the match was even better The undertaker in his home The match he made famous against the rookie who doesn't know much about this environment That's the story The next big thing was humble He was out of his element and Paul Heyman couldn't do anything about it Instead he could receive it As time went on Brock finally adapted to his surroundings and dished out He removed that cast that made the hand useless for the undertaker who was writhing in pain The match entered the intense part and man it was off the charts The undertaker seemed likely to win it And the momentum was in his favor But then Lesnar just grabs him off the Tombstone counter And hits an F5 to retain the title Iconic match Really helped establish Brock Lesnar as a man Yeah once that happened I was like Okay I mean we're already full force youngest champion at this point Beatin' legends Beating the undertaker in a Hell in the Cell This young in your career Yeah all cylinders are firing He's their guy Just wouldn't stop It was a performance from both men that deserves more love It's not underrated It just should be appreciated more Because this is one of the greatest Hell in the Cell matches of all time For Brock it's his favorite match from his first WWE run He had so much respect and appreciation for the Undertaker working for him And they were two entirely different people But they connected inside that squared circle Yeah And as I said earlier This match made Brock Lesnar the guy The pose atop the Hell in the Cell The fallen undertaker is nothing short of amazing Later that week on SmackDown The Undertaker came out and called out the champion Paul Hyman looked tired of this but Brock came out Taker admitted that the thought in his mind was his broken head Cost him the match but he came to the conclusion that it's no excuse Brock had his number Five years ago even if everything was injured He would've been in his ass And no mercy though It didn't matter The long story short Undertaker said that he's being the best Sunday though Brock was the best The dead man was very hostile But Brock just wanted to talk He said that about Sarah It was supposed to be business And stared deeply into Heyman while saying He said that he needed an edge And walked away Then Big Show proceeded to come out Throw the Undertaker off the stage But that's a different story But for Brock When you beat the big Undertaker as a healer It's hard to follow up Because just about anyone he faces from here Is inferior Enter the Big Show Now the Big Show had a And that was just another way to get him over Like yeah You really that guy He really was that guy It wasn't even close And then You can tell They were gonna start switching Switching him over To a baby face They were gonna start switching him over To a baby face Because the Big Show obviously Was coming in as a healer here And Brock went into the program With the Undertaker as a healer But after the Undertaker gave him respect And Brock kind of You know Giving him that same type of respect back Yeah You can tell they were switching Switching his character Very odd event for 2002 This was their way of turning things around with him But it didn't seem a likely challenger It was supposed to be the Hulkster Hulk Hogan's return earlier that year Had marked the point in his career Where he was given back He was taken out by Brock Lesnar Right before Summer Simon Selling the injuries Naturally his return was imminent with the Hulkster Actually believing in real life Not in storyline That he had a chance to beat Brock I think he finally understood What mid-carders feel and thought I wanna go back to 1988 Because this man lost a hell of a lot of matches Not that many compared to others though Brock Lesnar spoke about this in his book Death Clutch Back in 2010 And I quote My next point after Undertaker was originally Supposed to be Hulk Hogan I just wanted to do a storyline Where Hogan was looking to settle the score In the Lesnar vs. Hogan match With air life from Madison Square Garden As the main event of Survivor Series 2002 I'd be headlighting yet another paper Then I'd want Hogan to look really good But fall short of beating me for the title I guess the old Hulkster didn't like the idea too much And the next thing I know We were going with Plan B The big show That sounds definitely like Hulk Hogan bro That's right around the time With the whole Shawn Michaels situation He didn't want He only wanted to have one match with Shawn And he wanted to go over I believe it was that summer slam He wanted to go over And then that was it It was right around that area That pocket of time Where like the Hulk didn't want to do the job It was supposed to be like a series of matches With Shawn where Shawn would lose And then Shawn would get another win And maybe they have like a rubber match Or whatever But the Hulk was like nah I want to win I don't That don't make any sense That doesn't make any sense That doesn't make sense for the Hulk Hogan To be that young up and coming star That's at the top of the card He's supposed to be doing the job Hulk didn't want to do the job For damn near nobody when he came back bro Hogan really thought he would win the title Like bro sit down No It's just crazy Like in the year of 2002 He got his championship run But it's time to move forward Yeah He was always going to be around It was just in this moment It was Brock Lesnar's time His book was releasing at the time And it made sense to promote it But these issues with Vince Led to him leaving the company Yeah It wasn't a huge departure because nobody Watching the show saw any reference To a potential return form But for Brock it's a bit of a downgrade Because this wasn't 2003 Big Show Who was well re-escalished This was a guy who wasn't even on the WrestleMania card that year So rebuilding Big Show was the challenge Yeah It wasn't even going to be that hard Because well look at him Yeah The Big Show followed up by barging Into Brock Lesnar's locker room And Heyman started rambling on He begged Big Show not to demand A title shot so soon But Brock tossed him to the side And with zero fear Gave Big Show the title shot Paul tried to tell Lesnar That this was going to be a tough challenge Because he can't use his regular offense on him He straight up told him That he can beat the Big Show That's why he's an agent To make decisions for people like Brock Big Show on the other hand Was provoking Brock hard to the point Where he called him little man After the commercial break The champion came out It took a couple of minutes After Big Show said Brock Couldn't beat him and his manager Noze And the champion agreed with Big Show That he's a giant A giant piece of him Big Show said that he's been advised Not to beat Brock up Until Survivor Series And Tesla's confused It was clear that they were Implying something As for Brock He had to deal with Ray Mysterio And this is when the number one contender Took advantage He threw Ray into the crowd And the champion He sent him to the announce table And Big Show stood tall To end the show on time Bro, Ray got dis... Brock, you break Ray got disrespected Get your bum ass out of here, Ray Let this little issue ruin you He was certainly rattled But confident He was breaking his TV In anger of Big Show Heyman though saw it differently He didn't want Brock Face and Eddie Guerrero Especially after last week But the next big thing Didn't care And this was after a long ass Tyray from Heyman Who desperately wanted to instill In Lesnar's mind That he can't beat the Big Show He refused to walk out They were Brock And the champion gets the job done Right afterwards Big Show threw him off the stage On the final smack On the Survivor Series Paul Heyman assured everyone That Brock Lesnar Who was advised by his doctor Not to appear Won't be on the show Big Show told him That regardless of that He's calling him out To the surprise of nobody Lesnar was in the arena He's selling a rib injury Although reports from that time Claim it's legit That's possibly why they cut off The time from the match Or it was just to sell the injury To make things much much easier For Big Show and Storyline He got into a little argument With Heyman Who wanted to be protective Of Brock But felt that he should be Doing more with him You know the team works He should be putting an effort In listening to him Heyman wanted the best for him And he begged him To put his pride aside Him going out there Isn't gonna end well But Paul had an idea He walked into Big Show's Lockroom And told him That he's the guy He just wanted him To back off until Survivor Series He was begging him Not to call out Brock Lesnar Big Show said that Heyman Is the best thing for Lesnar And considered his plea But sees the possibility Of going through And calling him out Now that was all The Brock was the big issue Heyman made it seem Like Big Show listened to him And he thought All was good but then Brock's like I'm not leaving And he started to complain He was like Why are you not leaving And the champion told him That if he's not getting Called out He's gonna call out The Big Show At the end of the night Lesnar was zero fear Called out the Big Show The Big Show came on This bro was chaotic He thought his job Or days were passed And the Brock took him On a stroll down memory lane The champion was ready He beat the crap out of him That chair shot Was crazy I think this is where He hit him against the steps And I think Big Show formed Got legitimately cut Like it was a gash And that chair shot Woo He cracked him Ready for Survivor Series He destroyed the Big Show Busted him open But even then Paul Heyman still doubted him Despite this He promised to do everything He can So his client could leave His champion Okay, I liked the build For this match Brock Lesnar was leaning Towards being a face And was basically a lot Big Show was reheated After Hogan's departure And it worked very well for him Right in the beginning Lesnar went to Big Show's face And learned what he was all about Even then The champion displayed Some of the offense He was known for And was dominating Big Show Like he was a cruiserweight He was definitely not used To selling like this The ref got knocked down And Heyman tossed in a chair Lesnar uses a chair in his The F5 But Heyman pulled the ref Out of the ring And once Brock realized What's up Heyman made a run for it Leading to the choke slam On the chair One, two, three New champion Quick match It did its job With Lesnar Looking extremely good Out there He manhandled the Big Show But the result Is kind of questionable Now The result of the match Is somewhat shocking But you have to understand That they were thinking Long term with this one Brock Lesnar was positioned As the face of the company His role You don't usually see The face of the company As the champion Especially in this era In all the WrestleMania Stone Cold won the main event He was going into it Without the title He was chasing And the chase is always Dramatic and cool So Lesnar losing Made sense As to the Big Show He turned out to be a good Transitional champion Could have been Kurt Angle Because at the time The match between himself And Brock was already booked And up to this point They had never faced each Other in a match So that's why Brock lost you Okay this was a good Title ring Brock Lesnar He doesn't need to talk To himself And that's what they did I really love O2 Brock Lesnar Because of how Hungry He seemed to compare it To others Like this guy was Just unique In every way Compared to everyone Else on the roster He comes in He's booked to destroy Everybody But the way he goes About it Is what makes him So good The man was Massively talented And it felt like He had a lot of years Ahead of him At this point But a little did They know The best match The great moments With Hogan The rock But this match Like cemented That this guy Is here to stay We are going to push him For years to follow Alright What you guys think Of Brock Lesnar's Title ring Please comment down
