Did Brock Lesnar really F5 a shark?

WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar is one of the most athletic wrestlers to have stepped inside the squared circle. From kicking down Hell in a Cell doors to lifting giants like the Big Show with ease, the Beast Incarnate has shown incredible feats of strength over the years.

Back in 2003, when Brock was in the midst of his first run with the Stamford-based promotion, he participated in a WWE commercial previewing the SummerSlam event. The advertisement saw the general public chilling on a beach when a lifeguard blew his whistle to indicate a shark attack. As everyone ran away from the beach, Brock was seen running towards the shark, lifting it on his shoulders before delivering a powerful F5 to one of the most dangerous predators in the world.

The advertisement left many fans wondering if the shark used in the commercial was real or fake. Well, if you're one of those people, we've got the answer right here for you.

The truth is Brock Lesnar did not F5 an actual shark, it was just made to look real with advanced VFX technology.
