Brock Lesnar breaks Hardcore Holly's neck.

On a 2002 Smackdown taping, Brock Lesnar broke Hardcore Holly's neck with a botched power bomb. At first glance, it looks like a simple wrestling accident. However, if you watch the video over, you can see Holly fighting against Lesnar to be power bombed.

The reason: Holly refused to be power bombed by Lesnar because of the "locker room attitude" towards Lesnar. Holly was a seen as a vet in the locker room and he felt Lesnar had yet "paid his dues" in World Wrestling Entertainment since Lesner was still considered a rookie at the time.

If you don't pay your dues, you can't control the pace of the match. At least that's what Holly thought, and the ironic end result was Lesnar breaking his neck. The WWE turned the injury into a brief feud having Lesnar beat Holly after Holly's 13 month hiatus and recovery from surgery after the break.
