5 greatest storylines of the Ruthless Aggression Era

#4 Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle

The greatest rivalry of the Ruthless Aggression Era

When Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble match in 2003, the main event was set for WrestleMania 19. Kurt Angle didn't want to fight Brock and did everything in his power to put him out of the main event. This didn't help matters though, as Lesnar became more fierce and went on to defeat Angle in the headline match of WrestleMania 19, for the WWE Title.

The duo shook hands and hugged as 54,000 fans gave them a standing ovation to end the show on a high note. This wasn't the end though, as both Superstars continued the rivalry throughout the summer, with Brock taking on the role of the heel and Angle becoming a babyface. Their Summerslam match, as well as the Ironman match on SmackDown, are some of the greatest matches to come out of that era.
