** Also, his ''2018 Crown Jewel'' match with Wrestling/BrockLesnar, in which he tanked ''FIVE'' F5s before staying down. And that was ''after'' taking a title belt [[labelnote:*]]and WWE's title belts, if in-ring talents are to be believed, are legitimately heavy.[[/labelnote]] cheap shot to the back of the dome by Baron Corbin, who is far from small himself. Brock looked almost ''confused'' after the third kickout, probably wondering for a second if he would have to attempt vehicular manslaughter himself.

* RatedMForManly: Braun almost couldn't be more masculine. A 6'8 professional strongman with a BadassBeard, a [[BadassBaritone low]], [[GutturalGrowler growling]] voice, and a bad attitude, who crushes other men (in his own words) like empty beer cans.
