One of the most memorable and famous botches in the WWE's history came during a match between two of its best wrestlers in 2003.

Brock Lesnar is known as The Beast simply because he has the power and strength to put down any opponent with ease. That also means that he doesn’t need to climb the ropes to launch an attack, something he has rarely done in his long career.

However, at WrestleMania XIX at the grandest stage of them all, Lesnar decided to climb the ropes to deliver a shooting star press on his opponent Kurt Angle. Had he been a high-flyer or a more athletic individual, the move would have worked out perfectly.

Instead, Lesnar botched up the move and landed on his head, causing a concussion. However, he was able to finish the match as planned and took the title home.
