19.Brock Lesnar Botches His First WrestleMania
Brock Lesnar is known for being a beast in the ring, and at his first WrestleMania, he wanted to make an impression on fans. While battling in the main event, Lesnar gave a pounding to Kurt Angle, hitting him with double F-5s at the end of the match. While this dangerous move takes most opponents out of the match, Lesnar wanted to continue the frenzy by delivering a Shooting Star Press from the turnbuckle. As he leapt onto his opponent, he crashed down on his head and neck. He won the match, but he was dazed afterwards. Only the Beast could recover so quickly from something that would kill or paralyze another wrestler.

18. The Shooting Star Press Strikes Again
The incident that occurred between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle wasn’t the only time the Shooting Star press led to a very dangerous injury that could potentially have been fatal. In 2004, Chavo Guerrero and Billy Kidman were engaged in a match, when Kidman botched the Shooting Star press. While performing the move, he fell right on Guerrero’s head and caused a concussion. Fans had to sit back and watch as Guerrero was taken out of the arena on a stretcher. It took several months of recovery for Guerrero before he was cleared by the WWE to go back into the ring.
