13. Brock’s Shooting Star Press
This isn’t the only time that Brock Lesnar’s going to appear on this list. It is however, the only entry where he’s the one getting hurt. Lesnar and Kurt Angle were slated to face each other a WrestleMania 19. Before the pay per view, word got out that Angle is suffering from a neck injury. Fans worried for the Olympian but what they didn’t know was that he’s the one walking out of the match with an injury.
Lesnar was already a behemoth back then and with Angle’s performance affected by the injury, fans winced at every moment. Later on in the match, Lesnar attempted to try a Shooting Star Press. It was a very flashy flying move and it’s still difficult for a huge man to pull up. The launch was okay but things went wrong when Lesnar landed on his head horribly.
With both fighters visibly hurt, the match became more painful to watch. Both guys walked off from the match with aching bodies and fans had a lot of painful moments to keep as memories.
