#1. Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle

Former WWE Champions Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle have already appeared on this list once. Both coming from amateur wrestling backgrounds obviously brought them together throughout their time in WWE. Over the years, comparisons between the two men have been made.

Lesnar's arrogance then led to a showdown between them in the WWE locker room. The Beast Incarnate wanted to prove himself and, according to Angle, he was able to take The Beast down several times, but Lesnar wasn't able to take him off his feet:

“He turned around and I said, ‘Let’s go!’ And all the wrestlers around the ring, like lumberjack style, looked at him and said, ‘You’re not getting out bro,’ ” Angle said. “We had the showdown. It was close. It really was. He had 90 pounds on me, but I probably took him down into the ropes a good 7-8 times. He used the ropes to say we’re out of bounds. That’s OK. I did take him down once. He didn’t take me down at all."

Angle has retired from WWE in recent years whilst Lesnar remains one of the biggest stars in the company. It's still unclear how the 225-pound Angle was able to take down the 310-pound Lesnar.
