First off, let me say, what a FANTASTIC match. Easily top 10 pure wrestling matches I've seen.
My question is, I just got done watching it on DVD, and I noticed the fans were chanting "You Tapped Out" chants toward Lesnar during the match.
For the life of me I can't remember Brock tapping out(except against Angle maybe months earlier, but also during the match while Eddie has Brock in an awesome STO, Cole states the Brock recently tapped out.
Who made Lesnar tap out in the weeks/months before the title match?

I know he tapped to Benoit's crossface, but it was 2 or 3 months before No Way Out, so I don't see why fans would still be chanting over that.

^ Yea, I was thinking Benoit, but during that time he was on Raw...For the life of me I can't recall who made Lesnar tap so close to NWO. But the fans were chanting it and Cole made mention of it a time or two....

Could it be Kurt Angle related?

Either Benoit or Angle. Not sure, memory's foggy. I remember that was a big deal at the time as fans would get on Brock about that show after show.

Actually, wasnt it Eddie?
I think they did a segment right before NWO where Eddie had Brock in the Lasso from El Paso and Brock tapped.

^ Hmmm.... How many times did Eddie beat Brock before NWO? Because I know he beat him with a rollup. Did he also make him tap?

Benoit made Lesnar tap in survivor series 2003
ad I think they kept hyping that Brock was vulnerable to tapping out
plus I'm sure Goldberg idiculed him about it after the match while Brock was interviewed

God damn, Lesner was wasted potential.
He was good enough, and accomplished enough, to where I would even make an arguement that he was HoF potential in like 2-3 years time.

Even though it was MONTHS before No Way Out, fans continued to chant it at Brock anyway. |

Yes, it was in reference to an earlier match with Benoit when Lesnar tapped to the crossface.

Brock was just an awesome wwe champ. For the fans to be chanting that he tapped out months after he actually did shows just how well he was booked, and how much the fans cared about him getting a kink in his armor.

Well, to be fair, this was part of his heel turn.
As a babyface, he was a fearless monster who destroyed everybody.
As a heel, he was a coward who was scared of "Baldcore" Bob Holly. It was kind of difficult to swallow, honestly. Though he got a lot better towards the end. His promo where he wore the sombrero and danced with the mariachi band to make fun of Eddy was great.

^ He didnt show any fear towards Goldberg...He was on the mic saying "bring it Goldberg, you little bitch." It was really getting me hyped for Lesnar Goldberg, even though the match happened years ago lol.
Man, was that Eddie Lesnar match awesome and Lesnar was just amazing. I really wish he didnt lose his passion for wrestling...
I read that the reason he really wanted to quit is because he was told he was going to get fed to the returning Dead Undertaker, and didnt want to job. Any truth to this?

Could it be Kurt Angle related? Summerslam 2003 was where Lesnar tapped to Angle. After that match, Lesnar got the 'You Tapped Out' chant. |

Uh...you do know what the basis of the Bill Goldberg feud was, right? Both men were leaving the company, which is why they had the world's suckiest match at WM20 and both got the stunner at the end. According to the NEWZ, yes, Brock did the job in the WM20 match because he was whining even more than Goldberg. If you remember, right after he dropped the title, he cut the promo where he got on his hands and knees and begged Vince (who appeared on the tron, ala the Wizard of Oz) for a match with Goldberg for screwing him out of the title with the spear at No Way Out. Supposedly he was whining about dropping the title and also about being fed to Undertaker in a longer-term feud, even though Undertaker helped make the guy. After Brock left and Booker and RVD moved to SD, Booker was the one who was fed to Undertaker instead. This was when Booker took on his whiny heel persona and started bringing Sharmell onscreen, just before becoming King Booker. |

I've only ever heard that he was tired of the travelling. Obviously he didn't lose his passion since he was wrestling Kurt Angle in Japan earlier this year for the IWGP Title. |

He also wanted to try out for the NFL, and we all know how that turned out. During his NFL stint, Brock took shots at the WWE and at the pro wrestling business. Hey, RD, maybe can you induct the Lesnar-Goldberg match into Wrestlecrap? |
