#2 Shooting Star Press
Trending
The Shooting Star Press is one of the most impressive looking wrestling moves that’s reserved to only the high-flyers of the company. Neville and Evan Bourne are two former WWE Superstars who performed this maneuver to perfection almost each and every time and proved to the world that they’re indeed some of the best high-flying wrestlers in the industry.
However, Brock Lesnar, who was known to use the move during his time in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), decided to pull it off at WWE WrestleMania XIX against Kurt Angle.

Lesnar ended up botching the move by a fraction that resulted in him landing on his head, taking most of his bodyweight to his neck, and ending up with a concussion.
WWE's only Olympic Gold Medalist later took the blame for asking Lesnar to perform the move, and said the following about the spot:
“That was my idea, I will take responsibility for Brock doing that. At the time I had to leave (WWE), it really wasn’t in the plans for me to drop the title at WrestleMania. I had suffered a broken neck and was going to have surgery, so I wanted to do something that people would remember. I asked Brock to do the Shooting Star Press, which he had done many times in OVW. I just thought it would be a great way to end the show.”
While Lesnar was able to continue with the match and ended up winning it, his attempt landed the move in the banned moves list for quite some time.
Lesnar isn't the only Superstar in WWE who has botched the move
Before Lesnar, Billy Kidman, Justin Gabriel, and a few other wrestlers had botched the move too, resulting in injuries either to themselves or their opponents.
While we have seen some lighter weight Superstars continue performing the move in recent years, it is largely a no-go area for most of the other Superstars.
