#1 Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar (Wrestlemania XIX)

Kurt Angle defended his WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania XIX. Although the match is usually recollected because of Lesnar’s botched Shooting Star Press, you cannot possibly discredit the immaculate work and painstakingly disciplined effort put forth by both WWE Superstars.

The match is widely regarded as one of the best of all time, with Angle being commended for the otherworldly technical wrestling acumen he showed throughout the duration of the showdown. However, the most vital element which serves to make this his best performance ever, is the fact that despite having been through a hellacious back-and-forth affair in the matchup, Kurt showed incredulous presence of mind by covering up Lesnar’s botch and proceeding with the bout as though nothing significant transpired.

Angle dropped the WWE Championship to Lesnar but won hearts the world over for what is, in my opinion, the greatest performance of the Olympian’s career.
