10 most dangerous spots in WWE history

#5 Brock Lesnar’s shooting star press

I think we can all agree that Brock Lesnar is one of the most gifted wrestlers to ever perform inside a WWE ring. So, when Brock was matched against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 19, fans expected to see an epic encounter between two of the best in the business. The match did live up to expectations especially because the ending could’ve ended Brock Lesnar's career.

The ending saw ‘The Beast’ perform a botched shooting star press on Angle, landing on his neck, nearly paralyzing himself. It’s no surprise that we never saw him use the move again.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
