#2 Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle - WrestleMania XIX

Lesnar's botched shooting star press attempt on Kurt Angle

What is remarkable about this match is that despite both men picking up career threatening injuries, it was still a great contest.

Angle was due for neck surgery and Lesnar badly injured his neck after a botched shooting star press, however both men still put on a highly memorable match in the main event of this WrestleMania.

Both men had backgrounds in amateur wrestling, and it showed, as they began the match chain wrestling and trading holds.

Lesnar was able to combine his tremendous wrestling skill with power and agility, but he was also able to tell a compelling story, the shooting star press that he attempted to hit on Angle showed that there nothing he wasn't willing to try to get to the top. Despite the failed attempt, it is an iconic image of this WrestleMania.

Both Lesnar and Angle's ability to combine great wrestling with hard hitting moves added to this match, after both exchanged suplex's, Angle went back to his ground based offence.

This was an intriguing encounter due to these mix of styles and both men's ability to work in a slow mat based style and also at a quick tempo.

As well as being a phenomenal match, Lesnar's toughness was very evident here, his ability to finish the match with a precision F5 despite botching a shooting star press, is testament to his resilience and in-ring skill.
