Brock Lesnar is widely considered one of the toughest WWE stars to ever step foot in the squared circle and he accidentally broke a star’s neck when he was struggling with the flu.
The Beast Incarnate was struggling with illness at the time and cut a star’s career short due to a stiff landing on a Powerbomb.
Brock Lesnar was reportedly very apologetic backstage and didn’t garner any heat from WWE officials for the mistake.
Brock Lesnar broke Hardcore Holly’s neck in WWE match
Lesnar and Hardcore Holly met in a WWE SmackDown match in 2002 when the rising star was bursting onto the wrestling scene.
The match did not end up well for Holly, who suffered a broken neck thanks to an awkward landing from a Lesnar Powerbomb.
Nevertheless, Holly does not hold any resentment for Lesnar and actually enjoys colliding with him in the ring.
Speaking to WrestlingInc, Holly revealed: “I’ve always loved working with the guy because he’s rough. That’s my style. I love it like that and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I can’t stand working with a guy that barely hits you and you can’t even sell it because you don’t know if you got hit or not.”
Lesnar was extremely apologetic to Holly after putting him out of action. Holly revealed: “He was trying to hold me. We got in the back and he was like, ‘Bob, I was trying to hold you up.’
