Angle vs. Lesnar was a worthy

WreslteMania

main event.

Brock Lesnar is best known as a monster heel on the WWE landscape, but he has been a successful face on more than one occasion. He’s too imposing to play the underdog, but his physical attributes can also capture the imagination enough for him to play a real life super hero.

Lesnar was at his best as a face opposite Kurt Angle in their WrestleMania 19 program. Angle, backed by Paul Heyman and Team Angle threw obstacle after obstacle in Lesnar’s way, as the wily veteran Olympic gold medalist clung to his WWE Championship. The action came to a head in this WrestleMania main event match.

That Lesnar ultimately crashed and burned on a shooting star press attempt tends to overshadow the strong ring work to precede it in this match. Just the same, it was a very good match up to that point, and a testament to both Angle’s ring generalship and Lesnar’s superhuman anatomy that they collected themselves and carried to finish the match with a satisfying conclusion.
