5 Superstars who you forgot beat Brock Lesnar in WWE

Monster, beast, champion, undefeatable - these are a few of the words that represent what Brock Lesnar has been for the WWE in the 15 or so years that he's wrestled in the promotion.

The Beast is one of the most dominant wrestlers in the history of the business and a serial winner wherever he has wrestled - WWE, in Japan, or at MMA promotion UFC.

In the WWE, Lesnar has an incredible win record. In the 379 matches that he has wrestled in the promotion since debuting on the March 18th, 2002 episode of RAW, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has 274 wins, and just 97 losses in the WWE (as per Cagematch.net). That is a great record, and the loss number would be even less if tag team matches and dark matches aren't considered.

Lesnar seldom loses to the smaller fish in WWE, and most remember the losses he's had with icons of the WWE world, like The Undertaker, Goldberg or John Cena.

Here are 5 Superstars you may have forgotten who beat Brock Lesnar in the WWE.

#1 Rob van Dam

On paper, this seems like an unlikely pairing for a match - the powerful and strong Brock Lesnar, against an agile, quick wrestler like Rob van Dam, but the two pulled it off in 2002, in three singles matches.

At the start of Lesnar's career, in his very first year in the WWE business, against several big names; Booker T, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan, to name a few.

Rob Van Dam was one of the most recognisable names in ECW, the star of the show, much like what Lesnar became for the WWE. At the 2002 King Of The Ring, RVD and Lesnar faced off in the finals of the tournament, which Lesnar won.

The very next day on RAW, the two faced off for the Intercontinental Championship, which was won by DQ by Rob van Dam, who was holding the belt, after Paul Heyman interfered, following which Lesnar brutalised RVD. At Vengeance, RVD once again defeated Lesnar by DQ after Heyman pulled out the referee from the ring.

#2 Spanky (Brian Kendrick)

Current fans may not know this, but 205 Live's Brian Kendrick wrestled in the WWE back in the early 2000s. Kendrick, who was known by the ring name 'Spanky' in the independent scene, even faced Brock Lesnar, and defeated him (although by DQ) in a match on SmackDown back in 2003.

The segment leading up to the match was a hilarious one where Spanky was backstage with Orlando Jordan and Funaki, chugging down bottles of chocolate syrup (as one would do in the WWE locker room). Spanky sprayed some of that syrup on WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, who was incensed by the "kid" soiling his pristine suit.

McMahon put Spanky in a match against Lesnar, who was one of the deadliest heels in the business. Lesnar destroyed the current 205 Live Superstar, before brutalising Kendrick with the chair, which gave Kendrick the win.

Lesnar was in a feud with Kurt Angle at the time, and was to face at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship.

#3 Zach Gowen

The very next week on SmackDown, Lesnar brutalised another opponent in Zach Gowen, the one-legged wrestler, in one of the most controversial matches of all time.

Many wrestling fans, to this day, feel that it was inappropriate on the part of the WWE to put a disabled wrestler against Brock Lesnar, and have him completely destroy the young star.

Just days before his high-profile match against Kurt Angle at SummerSlam, Lesnar sent a chilling message to the Olympic hero by brutalising Gowen with a few powerbombs and then smashing his head with a chair, which earned Gowen the win (one of his two singles wins in the WWE; the other was against Matt Hardy).

At SummerSlam, Angle defeated Lesnar and held on to his WWE Championship belt.

The attack on Gowen by Lesnar continued the next week on SmackDown when he was pushed down a flight of stairs by Lesnar.

#4 The Rock

Most WWE fans remember Brock Lesnar's first title win, when he won the WWE Undisputed title from The Rock at SummerSlam 2002, to become the youngest champion in the WWE at 25 years of age.

But a few weeks prior to that match, Lesnar was defeated by The Rock, albeit in a triple threat match which also involved Triple H. The Global Warming event in Melbourne, Australia, was for all intents and purposes, a house show (although a DVD of the show was released by the WWE, and then later added to the WWE Network), one of the few live events in Australia back in the early 2000s.

The main event of the show was a match between the Undisputed champion The Rock, and Lesnar and Triple H.

This was the first meeting by The Rock and Lesnar in the ring, and was only one of two matches involving both wrestlers, with the other being at SummerSlam.

In the match, all three wrestlers performed their finishers, but a Rock Bottom on Triple H gave The Rock the victory.

#5 The Big Show

Big Show and Brock Lesnar have faced each other on numerous occasions in the WWE ever since Lesnar made his debut in the promotion back in 2002. But Lesnar's record against The Big Show has been incredibly, losing only once in singles matches.

The only loss for Lesnar against Show was back in 2002 Survivor Series, which was also the show which hosted the first-ever Elimination Chamber match.

Lesnar, who held the WWE Championship (the Undisputed Championship was renamed as the WWE Championship), after winning it from The Rock earlier that year at SummerSlam, was to defend the title once again at Survivor Series in 2002.

Lesnar had defeated The Undertaker at No Mercy, and bragged about how he could never be defeated, to which Big Show challenged him. The two assaulted each other on SmackDown leading up to their Survivor Series match, and at the show, Big Show defeated Lesnar to win the WWE Championship, as well as inflict Lesnar with his first loss by pinfall.
