5 scariest moments in WWE history

Mick Foley took many brutal bumps

#4 Concussion city

Brock Lesnar’s botch almost cost him dearly

In 2002, Brock Lesnar was afforded what is now known as the Roman Reigns push, with the small difference being that he had ten times the charisma, athleticism and talent. When he was slotted into the main event of WrestleMania 19 against Kurt Angle, the audience was more than ready to welcome the coronation of the next top Superstar.

Determined to seal the victory in spectacular fashion, the Beast Incarnate took to the top rope and attempted a shooting star press. Alas, things didn’t go according to plan as Lesnar missed his target and fell head first on the canvas.

The impact alone would've broken the necks of most ordinary men, but we've long since established that Paul Heyman's favourite client isn't one of those.

In fact, Lesnar escaped with nothing more than a concussion and finished the match with an emphatic F-5.
