#6. Brock Lesnar's botch.

At Wrestlemania XIX, it was a contest of amateur greatness as Kurt Angle took on Brock Lesnar.

The match did not disappoint but was almost overshadowed by what happened near the end. Brock Lesnar attempted a shooting star press, a move normally reserved for men literally half his size.

Despite successfully pulling the move off in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Lesnar botched the move and landed head-first on the mat. Nearly everyone watching feared he had killed himself, or at least broken his neck. Career over.

However, Brock's toughness is more than just a gimmick. He refused to allow Angle to pin him so he could get medical attention. Brock went through with another F5 and pinned Angle, ending the match with himself as victor just as had been scripted. A terrifying moment, and an unforgettable one.
