3. Botches Shooting Star Press At WrestleMania XIX
At the 2003 Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar entered at a very lucky 29th position and was able to outlast the remaining wrestlers – including The Undertaker – to capture an opportunity to take on the WWE Champion at WrestleMania XIX. That man was Kurt Angle, and fans knew that this match would no doubt be memorable.
Unfortunately for Brock, fans remember it more for the bad than the good. Even though Brock was able to defeat Angle to win the title, it’s all about the botch. Angle was down and Brock decided to go for a huge Shooting Star Press to end it all. The only problem — “The Olympic Hero” was more than halfway across the ring from where Brock jumped!
As you can see, Brock misjudged the jump and landed in a very awkward position, crushing his head and neck against Angle’s ribs. Lesnar ended up with a concussion and had to adjust the finish with a quick F-5 for the win.
